History has many evaluations about this person, but in the impression of Malashenko's previous life, most of them describe this person as "extraordinarily brave" and "able to fight tough battles". He also has a bad mouth and a bad temper. He is not a member of the U.S. military.
There are characters like "Meng Zhang Fei, the Butcher of Zhuo County".
But in reality, that is not the case, and Malashenko does not have any reservations.
Then you have to consult with the "me" who has already gotten out of the car and is walking towards you before you can come to a conclusion.
When Malashenko met Patton, he greeted him with a smile, maintaining the original etiquette, and Patton, who was walking towards him, also walked over with a seemingly generous smile and a warm posture.
Even so, that enthusiasm was not directed at Malashenko, but clearly toward de Gaulle.
"General de Gaulle, meet again! He has brought the best army boys in the United States of America for tomorrow's military parade. Their outstanding excellence will definitely make your eyes shine."
"."
Malashenko didn't pay much attention to what de Gaulle answered. Anyway, it was just the official language of greetings when meeting, and it was just a conversational talk. It was the same wherever he went.
But Patton, the old boy, seemed to follow the procedure and greeted de Gaulle first, completely leaving himself aside, which somewhat gave Malashenko a different smell.
That doesn't mean that Lan Yizhi is a petty person who cares about little things and trivial matters, and can't get along if others don't give him face.
Not to mention that after Malashenko combined his existing understanding of Patton, and then thought about the old boy's history of dealing with people and his political leanings, his words and deeds were more or less out of place.
It tastes the same, right?
Moreover, what happened in Jiedonglai was indeed as unexpected as Malashenko thought.
"Sorry he doesn't speak Russian, just talk to me in English, General Malashenko."
There were no polite soldiers saluting each other, and no greetings with smiling faces. Instead, he told Malashenko his "inconveniences" with a straight face of "doing things impartially".
Is it really an “inconvenience”?
I'm afraid not.
I didn’t even bring a translator. I knew I couldn’t speak Russian, so I just said “I’m sorry.” I told him, is that what it should be like when attending meetings with foreign troops? I don’t know about tomorrow’s military parade.
Is there any Red Army coming soon? Go out and see how many people with brains will believe it.
It didn't matter, because just looking at Patton's expression and posture, Malashenko guessed that the guy didn't know that he could speak English and thought that he didn't understand what he just said and was waiting to see the joke.
"It seems like my boy and Jack don't get along well. He didn't even tell me that basic information, so why don't we just work together?"
Malashenko's secret thought in his heart was very true, but he was wrong. It could be considered a mistake, because Patton was indeed a good match for Jack Morrison, who was very popular in the East.
Of course, it’s not because of Patton that Jack got into trouble, but because Jack has no habit of taking the initiative to stir up trouble.
The reason is also very simple.
Don't you, that old boy from the bottom of his heart, look down on Jack Morrison, who came back from studying in the Soviet Union and took advantage of his father-in-law's influence to "fly into the sky" like a rocket?
How come that Jack boy can reach the position of commander of the 4th Armored Division so quickly, and be officially appointed as a major general with two stars? Just because he went to the Soviet Union and attended a few classes? Who are the Russians?
I don’t think much of the Red Army’s armored tactics, and I think the battlefields on the Eastern Front are mediocre. I feel that “they are just as good at them, and they are even better than the Russians.”
Under such circumstances, it would be even more unrealistic to expect that old boy Barton to misunderstand Jack.
Knowing that a certain bad-tempered second-in-command didn't like him, Jack never took the initiative to provoke him except for routine matters. The two top military officers of the US military stationed in Berlin were just like strangers to each other.
Even the number of times Jack walked with Malashenko was more frequent than the number of times he walked with Patton.
At least the master and apprentice had a good meal and a banquet. Apart from official meetings with Patton, they had nothing to do, and they didn't even go to the Eastern Team together.
Of course, Patton, who disliked the "student", directly projected his negative emotions onto the "teacher" Malashenko.
It doesn't look like much on the surface, but it's just on the surface.
In fact, due to the disdain of the Red Army and personal reasons, Patton really wanted to see how Malashenko, the Russian who believed that he was "too famous" and "boasted more than his strength", would be embarrassed.
So the good start just now was just the first leg skill that was delivered at the wrong line. Patton, who was feeling happy, was waiting to see how the Russian guy would be stunned when he came from the east.
But like many Westerners who were talking to Malashenko for the first time, as soon as Malashenko opened his mouth in authentic English, Patton basically entered a state of "pause on facial expressions."
"What a coincidence, General Patton. He, Malashenko, is uneducated and ill-informed in his life, but he does know at least a little bit of English. You don't understand Russian, so he can talk to you in basic English. How about that?
?”
"."
Son of the Beach!!!
Do I know a little English? I speak it fluently than the old lady next door who lived 70 years!
What do I mean by being unlearned and ill-informed? What do you mean? He, Patton, is worse than unlearned and ill-informed. I have to ask my Russian guy to lower himself to speak English with him, okay?
The understanding of cocoa is slightly different based on cultural differences, but the meaning is indeed the same.
Lidong Mawei was unlucky but was manipulated by Malashenko. Patton, who looked displeased but could not pass away for a moment, could still maintain his normalcy and blurted out the words with a quiver in Dong.
"That's really a thank you for me, General Malashenko."
"It's where it is, it's just what it should be. After all, you will always use it when you learn it, and the knowledge you learn will always come in handy."
"."
Did Patton really feel that Malashenko had almost turned "ignorant and unskilled" into a stamp, and the stamp hit his forehead?
The preconceived stereotype that Malashenko ignored was already reinforced.
Having already commented in his heart that "master and disciple share the same virtue", Dong consciously did not want to dwell on the problem he had caused in the first place, and continued to entangle Dong Qu. In an eagerness to escape, his legs pretended to be mighty and held up his armed belt.
Button immediately spoke to himself.
"He is very much asking to inspect his troops, so I'll excuse you, General de Gaulle."
"."
Looking at the angry Patton who turned away and gradually disappeared from the back, Malashenko felt secretly happy that the old boy was really "interesting". When he couldn't find anything to do, he just gave up his job and left.
, it’s none of his business, is it really the style of the 21st century US military?
"It seems that their American friends are not very happy, General Malashenko. To be honest, this is not the first time he has seen General Patton like that. He didn't expect that tomorrow will be eye-opening for more than just the military parade."
"Ah"
Malashenko smiled to himself, shook his head, and blurted out the words that followed.
"They Americans have always been like that, General de Gaulle. He is very aggressive in the limelight. He is the best in the East. He walks with his nostrils in the air. He recognizes nothing but fists and only knows fists. Once faced with the situation where he does not come to Taiwan, he will give up his skills.
Just leave as if nothing happened, as if the whole world’s memory is like a fish’s and lasts only two seconds.”
"But what about the actual situation of crowding? That means that everyone who is famous knows Hong, and so do I and him."
"Believe him, there will be more and more such things in the future, and he and I will witness history together."
Many years later, when de Gaulle mentioned the situation of Mingyue in his memoirs, he still couldn't help but be filled with emotion, and he marked the important symbol of "visionary" in his memoirs.
Otherwise, how can we say that he is "the first real man in France"?
Just the ability to "tell the truth" has become a very rare skill in Europe after a few years.
Walking with de Gaulle on June 17th Street, Malashenko didn't care about those who had something or didn't have it, any airs or dignity.
He took the initiative to give up the C seat in the middle of the group to de Gaulle, and stayed with de Gaulle himself, looking like a follower accompanying the inspection.
What is meant by "face and respect are earned by oneself rather than given by others"? Looking at the stark contrast between de Gaulle's current state and Patton Gang's, it is not difficult to understand it thoroughly.
"Although he did not personally experience the Battle of Berlin, the scene in front of him was very similar to what he saw when he first arrived in Berlin. These made him deeply feel how fierce and difficult the war that took place there was.
, and whether the Red Army’s victory was so hard-won and meritorious.”
"He couldn't help but want to ask, General Malashenko, was the Battle of Stalingrad that happened in my homeland a long time ago also so emotional and deceptive? He heard that I was not an eyewitness to that battle."
"He has been to many places on the Western Front, including Normandy, Bastogne, and Lorraine, but none of those places can compare with what he saw with his own eyes in Berlin. He was referring to the traces of battle and the level of tragedy."
"And as far as he knew, battles like that happened more than once, many times in my motherland, on the road of our Red Army all the way to Berlin. It is unimaginable what huge sacrifices the Red Army had to make to bring those...
The pure evil spirit has been completely sent to hell."
"He thought that no matter what, no matter what they might become in the future, only the great contribution that I, my comrades, and my motherland made to the victory of the anti-Fascist war should not be forgotten.
More worthy of remembering and respecting.”
"."
Not to mention that he admired de Gaulle, but did Malashenko really feel that his vision, structure, and structure were obviously very different from the person just now?
Thinking of that, walking with de Gaulle, we have reached Malashenko east of the Brandenburg Gate. I can't help but look back and see the bright moon floating above the Parliament Building, but it is no longer the original but a backup.
The victory flag, a feeling of "the heroes see the same thing" couldn't help but surge in my heart.
"He always believed in one thing, General de Gaulle. As a species on this planet, although their civilization process and history have come and gone, with setbacks and even stagnation at times, he always believed that they humans had a common destiny.
Destined, just like the anti-Fascist war."
"Only when they put aside their differences and work together towards the same goal can the destiny of mankind as a species be more positive and develop in a more promising direction."
"One day, he hopes that all of them, as a collective, can welcome the future together. They can look back at history together, never forget the past, and remember the past and lessons they should remember."
"Maybe it will take a long time for that day to arrive, but they are already on the road, and they will continue to be on the road, walking eastward. When they really reach the other side and look back on the past, then they will find that the past
Are all the difficulties and obstacles we have gone through worthwhile, because at that time humans will be able to truly become great as a species and as a collective, and their journey will be like the sea of stars in the sky!"
"."
Following Malashenko's gaze to the sky, he stopped and stared, his ears echoed with the words that had lingered for a long time, and he savored them over and over again.
After a long, or perhaps not long, ten seconds or so, de Gaulle, who had misunderstood Malashenko's words, couldn't help but sighed and spoke.
"It's really such a romantic and great ideal, just like some of the things that happened in his motherland."
"He respects my ideals and beliefs, and he believes that he will continue to remember and respect Dong Qu in the future."
"After experiencing so much, General Malashenko can be so optimistic, yearning for the good and positive, and my enthusiasm has truly inspired him. Just like me, he also firmly believes that his motherland will welcome the future."
Come to a better tomorrow, I hope they can all work hard for a better future."
According to the prior communication and negotiation between participating parties, the parade chief who is reviewing the troops in a vehicle is the highest-ranking person among the representatives of the four countries who are supposed to participate in this joint military parade.
In the existing history, the person who held that position was Zhukov, and the representatives from the British, American and French parties who came to consult were all at a lower level than Zhukov.
After the timeline changed, the situation also changed.
As the highest-ranking person among the representatives of the four countries present, de Gaulle should be rejected by those who were riding in the car to review the troops.
But de Gaulle, who was in the right place, not only accepted the task, but also smoothly sent an invitation to Zhukov, inviting Zhukov to ride with him to review the troops.
According to de Gaulle's own statement on the spot, was it out of respect that the Red Army liberated the city of Berlin that the Red Army deserved respect? Those who reviewed the joint forces in the car should have representatives of the Red Army present.
Although it was a temporary change and without prior communication, Zhukov had never accepted that kind invitation with a smile.
After all, the reasons given by de Gaulle were appropriate and understandable, and even the June-September Street where the military parade was held was not under the jurisdiction of Malashenko's leadership army. Pushing forward to the time when the artillery fire was flying,
, many of the IS7 heavy tanks of the Japanese Army were running down the street, heading straight for the Capitol Building to kill them.
During a military parade on the Red Army's territory, it is still reasonable to invite Red Army representatives to review the troops, even if it is not based on the military law of "the strong is respected".
As for what Patton Naton thinks, who already dislikes Malashenko, he can think whatever he wants. I can't tie people's brains and prevent them from thinking about it.
