Zhukov also did one thing before leaving, awarding Malashenko a medal and awarding him the prize, the pistol.
Different from those shiny silver prize guns, Malashenko's is the only and most special one among the commemorative Tokarev pistols awarded this time. Not only is it engraved with exquisite hand-made reliefs, it even has
It is very luxuriously inlaid with gold edges, and the entire gun looks more like a work of art than a weapon when held in the hand.
Of course, according to the superior's original plan, this gun was indeed prepared for Malashenko.
This transnational cooperation plan is of extremely important significance to the future of the Soviet aviation industry. It is personally coordinated and supervised by Supreme Leader Stalin. As the most direct executor of the plan and the core person in the actual implementation stage, Malashenko
The importance of this cross-border cooperation is self-evident.
It was precisely because he knew the importance of Malashenko in this transnational cooperation that his loving father, Comrade Stalin, personally ordered that Malashenko’s prize commemorative gun be made unique.
As a compliment, this embossed gold-plated Tokarev commemorative edition pistol is truly the only one in the world, and there is no second.
"Tsk, if this thing doesn't work until the 21st century, I guess I can exchange it for a house in Shanghai. If I'm lucky, I might be able to exchange it for two houses. This is the only one in the world in the real sense."
Malashenko, who had obtained such a rare object, was naturally overjoyed. At this point, he had finally completed all the tasks of this training class. The next thing to do was to go home and see his beautiful wife.
"What's next? How do you say it? Do you plan to stay a few more days, or do you want to leave immediately to return to the army? Comrade Marshal told me before leaving. If you want to stay a few more days, that's okay. There are a few days on the front line.
There won’t be much movement inside, we’re still making final preparations, if you decide, just tell me.”
Malokov held the steering wheel and drove the car. At this time, there are not many people who can enjoy the special drive of him, the colonel of the Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Except for those superior leaders who deserve his special service, there are also
Only Malashenko is left as a close friend, comrade-in-arms and good brother.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Malashenko heard Malokov's question and was looking out the window with his hand on his chin. He turned around and looked back, only to see Malokov looking towards him with a smile.
Own.
"I guess you want to stay with Natalia for a few more days? If my fiancée is so beautiful, I will definitely want to do that."
"...."
Malokov was right, Malashenko really wanted to stay with his beautiful wife for a few more days.
Every time he came home, Malashenko always felt that his heart was in turmoil, and he could feel a tranquility that he had never experienced before.
Every night in the dead of night, Natalia would be as gentle as a mother to her child, pouring her lover into her arms who was lying quietly on the bed.
The feeling of having Natalia's chin pressed against her head and being immersed in the arms of her lover is indeed so beautiful. It heals more than just the soul, as if the entire soul that has been traumatized by the war has been blessed.
If there is really a gentle place for Malashenko in the world, then Natalia is here. Her water-like tranquility and silent tenderness can really make Malashenko's heart melt.
Whenever I recall such a scene, I always think of Natalia’s words: “A good and strong man will never have only one woman by his side. This is what my mother told me when I was very young.”
.
To be honest, even now, Malashenko, who has traveled through time in the 21st century, still cannot fully accept such a beautiful and generous Natalia.
Even though she was born into a Belarusian aristocracy, her short happy childhood memories were spent watching her father surrounded by several mothers. Due to this influence and her mother's teachings, she had no idea that the man she loved had more than one woman.
Very acceptable.
But this does not mean that Malashenko can accept this as calmly as Madaha. There is always a sense of debt and guilt in his heart. The closer he is to seeing Natalia, the stronger this feeling becomes.
With no way out now, Malashenko wanted to split himself in half, leaving Natalia and Anya in half, dividing the matter. This was completely fair.
It's a pity that all the nonsense in his head cannot solve the actual problem. Malashenko will eventually have to continue to face the reality of those including his beautiful daughter-in-law, and of course it is not just Natalia.
"I also want to stay with her for a few more days, but...hey, there are still a lot of things to do."
"Kogin sent me a telegram yesterday. I guess you know this. It was the young captain you left at my disposal who sent the telegram to me. Do you really know this?"
Before he finished speaking, Malashenko stared closely at Malokov's face, but found that the old boy was just pretending to smile mysteriously and did not intend to answer directly. He basically confirmed it from this "silver smile"
Malashenko, who answered, then continued to speak.
"I have to go to Tagil and set off early tomorrow morning. Kotin has saved a lot of things for me to go over and see in person and discuss with him. Oh, the telegram was jointly sent by Morozov and Kotin.
, he also said that he needs my help. It feels like I am almost an engineer, not like a general on the front line."
Malashenko pretended to complain with a half-smile, and Malokov, who was turning the corner with his hands on the steering wheel, also responded.
"This is a good thing. We have the Red Army's most capable front-line tank commanders to help guide the design of tanks. In this way, we don't have to worry about deviations in the design of new weapons and going in the wrong direction. Many leaders in the department also often mention it in organizational study meetings.
You and even Comrade Beria said that an outstanding all-round talent like Comrade Malashenko is simply a treasure of the motherland."
"If there were just a few more Malashenkos, this sacred Patriotic War might be over in six months or a year sooner, and those Germans would be killed to pieces."
"..."
What's going on? Even though I co-wrote it, I was still interested in your Lubyanka Hotel?
Come on, go away. It's too scary to be muttered by you guys all day long. You might even have insomnia in the middle of the night. If you guys stop saying a few words about me, I'll burn incense for you.
Malashenko was secretly cursing and muttering in his heart, but Malokov continued to talk.
"How many days are you going to go? Give me a relatively accurate date. You can also make a travel plan and timetable and give it to me. I will handle the declaration for you. You can prepare it after you go back. I will go and give it to you.
You arrange a flight tomorrow morning and wait for my call at home."
