Malashenko and Natalia hadn't even held their wedding yet, and a son who was slightly younger than themselves suddenly appeared. This nickname was quite wicked just thinking about it.
Malashenko, who was happy to be a father, was a little unhappy at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt that what Commissar Petrov said was right, and there was some truth to it.
Karamov graduated from university, was educated, and was proficient in mathematics and mechanics. He was a rare top talent in the entire 1st Guards Heavy Tank Brigade. He was also highly praised for being the first old man to fight with Malashenko to this day.
Shenke attaches great importance to it.
The cultural quality of tank troops is generally higher than that of ordinary infantry troops, but it is only a certain amount higher, and the level of improvement is limited.
After experiencing many battles with heavy casualties, the proportion of outstanding trainees who graduated from the Tank Corps Academy in the army is getting smaller and smaller, even if the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Brigade is a newly formed new unit.
It is true that there are a large number of illiterates or quasi-illiterates in the army. Malashenko's subordinates even have able-bodied prisoners who were released from prison. Although it was because they were unbearable after the war broke out and committed petty thefts.
He was arrested and thrown into prison. Due to the lack of additional soldiers on the front line, he was released after passing the political review and was sent to the front line to perform meritorious service in exchange for freedom.
However, the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Brigade, which is known as the elite, has prisoners stuffed in as a supplement. This still makes Malashenko feel a little panicked and unhappy. Of course, this can also be seen from the side.
It reflects the extent of the shortage of soldiers who meet the requirements.
Loaders with high standards and strict requirements on physical strength and physical fitness need to be filled by strong prisoners, and recruits with high cultural literacy are even more scarce. If you want to select taller ones from those with higher cultural literacy, you need to select
It is even more difficult to find someone who can manage logistics and is good at mathematics.
Fortunately, Karamov is a young genius with many unique skills. People who are accomplished in mechanics are generally not too bad at mathematics, and they can basically manage logistics-related matters with ease.
This is the only thing that makes Malashenko feel lucky.
Before this, political commissar Petrov was originally responsible for all the trivial logistics matters.
But every time Malashenko saw Commissar Petrov crouching in front of his desk, burning the midnight oil and working until one or two o'clock at night, correcting documents and making logistical audit reports, he always felt that it would not be a problem to continue like this.
During the day, I manage the troops, do communication, do political work, and hold a few random meetings of various sizes. At night, I have to light up the lamp and stay up late to deal with these messy logistical matters.
Not to mention that Political Commissar Petrov is an old man who cannot bear such a torment, Malashenko will probably be exhausted even if he has a body like his for a long time.
"Why don't you hand over these tasks? This is not the job you should do now. Can't you let the staff do it?"
Facing Malashenko's kind words, Commissar Petrov just sat behind the table with a pen in his hand and smiled lightly.
"Young people will inevitably panic when doing things, but the reasons are different for everyone."
"I feel uneasy when these tasks are handed over, or I don't feel at ease at all. The staff officers assigned to our brigade this time are basically staff trainees who have just graduated from the military academy, and the chief of staff has also just been promoted from the regiment level.
For a unit as large as the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Brigade, the logistics are very complicated, so I feel more at ease if I do it myself."
Malashenko was speechless and didn't know how to answer. He wanted to continue persuading but didn't know where to start.
In terms of his ability to reason, Malashenko has to admit that he is indeed no match for Political Commissar Petrov.
As soon as the army structure is upgraded, the workload of various tasks and the energy and time consumed will increase exponentially. If Commissar Petrov, who can only use one arm, continues to be so busy, Malashenko estimates that sooner or later he will
One day I have to go to the hospital to visit my Comrade Political Commissar.
In the end, with Malashenko's repeated insistence, it took about a week for these logistical problems to be handed over to Karamov one after another.
In Malashenko's words, you, Comrade Political Commissar, can't trust those newcomers, but you can't trust old college graduates like Karamov? Don't tell me that Karamov doesn't have this ability. How will you know if you don't let him try?
This ability? Everything must be practiced before the truth can be tested.
In this way, under Malashenko's tough words, Commissar Petrov finally compromised.
Not to mention, Karamov, the commander of the field maintenance battalion who was often covered in oil and repaired cars until he forgot to eat, really did not disappoint Malashenko.
Karamov not only managed professional logistics such as parts, ammunition, and fuel in an orderly manner, but also did a good job in soft logistics such as eating, drinking, and getting cigarettes. He didn't even look like he was overworked at all.
The leisurely Karamov often even took a walk around the army station to admire the scenery after dinner.
In comparison, it is simply more than one level higher than the previous political commissar Petrov who was busy almost every day until late at night. Malashenko's evaluation of Karamov has also become even higher.
Malashenko even publicly praised Karamov by name at a brigade-level meeting in which all cadres and commanders and fighters at battalion level and above were present. He praised him as a good comrade with outstanding abilities and capable people who work hard, and advocated for all brigade commanders, fighters and political workers.
Cadres and soldiers should learn from Karamov's example, strive to make more contributions to the motherland and the army, and be pioneers and good comrades.
It was just that Malashenko, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting at the time, did not realize that some of the commanders, fighters and political cadres around the table looked at Karamov inappropriately, while Karamov himself was sitting on his chair with a look of "
I'm very happy" expression, only the words "What can you do to me" are written on his face.
Everyone has no problem with the evaluation of Comrade Brigade Commander. Everyone knows that Comrade Commander led a heroic troop to fight out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, repeatedly thwarting the ambitions of the Germans, giving the enemy a memory, and even
Yu felt scared, and being able to fight under such a comrade, a brigade commander, was something many people could only dream of.
And from this relatively short period of contact, we can also feel that Comrade Brigade Commander is indeed a person who is friendly to others, does not lose his temper, does not give blind orders, and never puts on airs. He is already perfect.
.
Therefore, in the eyes of most people, it was just Karamov, a petty, bragging, stingy, and ingratiating guy who blinded the eyes of the brigade commander and deliberately pretended to show his good side in front of the brigade commander.
As for the nickname "comrade brigade commander's most beloved son", it is impossible to verify whose mouth it came from, but it is indeed a targeted nickname that satirizes Karamov more than it satirizes Malashenko.
