"How is he doing now? Is he awake? Or is he still in a coma?"
The first thing Malashenko asked about the "patient" was the situation of the "patient." Karachev, who didn't know the purpose of the teacher's question, thought about it for a moment, and then answered.
"He has been injected with a sedative. I asked Jessica to send it. It is American. The latest product has not been released yet. It is very powerful. He fell asleep not long after the injection. At that time, that was the only way to do it.
I did it because I was afraid that he would hurt others again. Considering the seriousness of his condition, the dose of injection was relatively large. It is estimated that he will not wake up until at least tomorrow morning."
".Um."
Being unable to see the person involved and see how serious the situation was was somewhat regrettable for Malashenko.
But this is not the point of the problem. The point is that Malashenko can also use other means to obtain the information he wants, and there are other ways that he can try.
But before Malashenko could speak, Kogin, who had been listening on the sidelines, spoke up in the middle of the answer and spoke first.
"Wait a minute, can you still get private goods from the United States? How did you send them to the front line? And who is Jessica?"
It is normal for Kogin to ask this. After all, from the perspective of a stranger, the amount of information contained in what you just said by Karachev is indeed too much.
Fortunately, there is no inconvenience in disclosing this matter. With the relationship between Kotin and Malashenko, it doesn't matter even if they know about this slightly secretive matter.
But before Karachev could say anything himself, Malashenko on the side had already answered.
"Jessica was his girlfriend in the United States, an authentic American girl, and her father was the boss of a pharmaceutical company in the United States. This kid started preparing for his future career when he was still in college and was chosen in advance.
The girl's family background is conducive to her career development, and she is so fascinated by him that she can't live without him. Even though he has been back to China for several years, he still keeps sending letters every month."
"It's a good thing. That girl often sends him some urgently needed scarce medicines in the United States that we can't get here. If I really want to say that the biggest credit is his getting medicine for Comrade Political Commissar, Comrade Political Commissar is taking it now.
He asked the girl to send all the medicine from the United States."
"As for how to send it to the front line, that is my task. I happen to have some contacts in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it is not difficult to open up a small air cargo flight route from the rear to the front line.
Anyway, we have always cooperated like this, he is responsible for external liaison and supply, and I am responsible for domestic transportation. We work together quite well, and we have saved the lives of many comrades through this."
"."
After hearing this, Ke Jin blinked and looked a little surprised. He really didn't expect that the real situation would be like this, and he blurted out something subconsciously.
"Is it possible to get more? It's always good to save the lives of more comrades."
He couldn't hold his tongue and said this all at once, but as soon as he said it, Ke Jing felt that something was wrong and he really regretted it.
If someone can use their personal connections to get you medicine without asking for anything in return, that's out of love. Needless to say, high-end and scarce medicines in the war years are extremely valuable, right?
That is to say, no matter what, you can't blame others even if they don't get you medicine. That's just your duty. There is no rule that the director of the field hospital must get free high-end medicines.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He really regretted and even apologized for what he had just said. It was purely an unintentional and casual remark. It was really unintentional. He just didn't know whether Karachev, whom he had just met for the first time and had just met, was here.
The listener means it, but don’t get it wrong.
Fortunately, although Karachev is young, he is not evil-minded. He will not subconsciously think the worst when thinking about others. At the very least, he must analyze calmly first. What's more, the person in front of him is an old friend of the teacher and comrade.
A well-known and highly respected tank designer.
"I said that the girl stole those medicines from her father's pharmaceutical factory according to the list given by Karachev, and then lied to her father and said that she lost them or used them for experiments. Do you believe it?
Really? Do you really think that those drugs that are regulated, even company secrets, and have not left the laboratory are so easy to develop? Those capitalists who do business are very particular about monopoly."
"."
Although Kotin is proficient in tank design, he has no understanding of what the American world is like or what the medical world is like. What Malashenko just said is the first time Kotin has heard of it in his life.
"I really didn't expect it to be like this. So I really have to thank that American girl for stealing her own high-end medicine and traveling thousands of miles to save the lives of so many of our comrades."
"No, I should thank Karachev the most. Without you, I can't imagine how many comrades who could have survived would have died. Whether it was surgery or taking medicine, it's really hard work."
Kogin's words were obviously recognized and appreciated by Malashenko, as you can tell by looking at the satisfied smile of "I think so too" on the face of the comrade.
"You are right. This is indeed the case. This is undeniable."
"My plan is that after the war is over, I will personally draft an application for the Hero of the Soviet Union award for him. It is a bit difficult for him to go through normal channels as an American now. I will go through it in person by then. I believe that with his achievements, he will be able to apply for it.
It can be done.”
As soon as Malashenko finished speaking, Kogin showed a look of approval and approval, and nodded his head again and again.
"You're right, I also think it's earned. If you need it when you see it, you can write my name and jointly apply for him. If someone comes to ask me, at least I know about it.
It is said that it is easier for two people to apply together than for you to apply alone.”
"Very good. Counting you, there will be four of us."
Before Malashenko finished speaking, Kotin looked surprised.
"Four?"
"Yes, four in total. Me, you, Marshal Zhukov and General Vatutin. They also know about Karachev's deeds. I mentioned it to them both. They also agreed to mention their names when the time comes.
Attached, it is agreed that for his contribution, Kalachev has earned the award of Hero of the Soviet Union."
"."
After hearing this, Ke Jin was surprised at first and didn't know what to say for a moment. After a long moment, he slowly spoke again while shaking his head helplessly and laughing.
"I have to admit that your connections are really powerful now. You can recruit these two people. I guess this should be the most important application for Hero of the Soviet Union so far."
