The jeep quickly arrived outside the hospital. For confidentiality reasons, no vehicles were parked here. But this did not trouble Yakov. He parked the car near the entrance and prepared to send Asiya away and leave.
.
Seeing a car parked at the entrance of the hospital, an officer on duty immediately came over. He came outside the car and said to Yakov who was sitting inside: "Comrade Colonel, parking is not allowed here. Please park your car immediately."
Drive away."
"Comrade Second Lieutenant," Yakov took out his special pass after seeing the other party's rank clearly, handed it over, and said politely: "I'm just sending a friend here to report, and he will leave soon. Please be accommodating.
Bar."
Although the second lieutenant did not know Yakov, he saw that the other party had the highest-level pass and knew that the other party had a good background, so he asked cautiously: "Comrade Colonel, how long do you plan to keep your car here?"
"It's hard to say, Comrade Second Lieutenant." Yakov didn't know how long it would take for him to come out after entering the hospital. He could only ask the other party to explain: "I not only want to send this female comrade beside me to report, but I also want to visit someone."
My friend, I really don’t know how long I’m going to stay in there.”
The second lieutenant raised his hand to look at his watch, and then discussed with Yakov: "Comrade Colonel, if your vehicle is parked near the entrance for too long, I'm afraid it will expose the location of the hospital. But considering your specific situation, I can
You are given one hour, and when the time is up, you must drive away."
Seeing that the second lieutenant was so reasonable, Yakov naturally would not embarrass him: "Okay, comrade second lieutenant, I will come out as soon as possible. But before that, you'd better find something to disguise my car to avoid being broken into the city."
Spotted by German reconnaissance planes overhead."
After the second lieutenant let Yakov and Asiya enter the hospital, he immediately called two soldiers and ordered them: "You two immediately go find a camouflage net to disguise the colonel's car to avoid being caught by the enemy.
Discovered by a reconnaissance plane.”
A camouflage net was prepared in the duty room. After hearing the second lieutenant's order, the two soldiers immediately entered the duty room, took out a piece of net, then came out again and covered Yakov's jeep with a camouflage net.
After doing all this, the two returned to the second lieutenant and asked curiously: "Comrade second lieutenant, who is this colonel and dares to park at the entrance of the hospital?"
"I don't know who he is," the second lieutenant said to his two subordinates: "But the pass he took out is of the highest level and should be the one issued directly by the Supreme Command. You all go back and continue to stand guard.
If it's not your business, just stop meddling."
Yakov took Asya to the dean's office by familiar routes.
Seeing Yakov's appearance, the dean who had just finished the phone call quickly stood up from behind the table, walked around the table to shake hands with Yakov, and at the same time asked in a friendly tone: "Hello, Colonel Yakov, today
Come to see General Sokov again?"
"Yes, I came today. In addition to visiting Sokov, I also have another important mission." After Yakov said this, he pulled Asiya to the dean and introduced him:
"Comrade Dean, let me introduce to you that this is military doctor Asiya, Sokov's wife. Starting today, she will be temporarily seconded to your hospital to take care of Sokov here until he recovers.
.”
"Hello, Comrade Dean." Asiya waited for Yakov to finish speaking, then raised her hand to salute the Dean, and took out Ustinov's handwritten letter of introduction: "I am military doctor Asiya.
This is the letter of introduction issued by Ustinov for me. Please read it. From today on, I will be a member of your hospital."
The dean took the letter of introduction from Asiya's hand, read it quickly, stretched out his hand to Asiya, and said with a smile: "Military doctor Asiya, on behalf of all the medical staff of the Lubyanka Military Hospital,
Welcome to become one of us."
Seeing that the dean agreed to stay, Asiya also had a smile on her face. Although she was eager to see Sokov, out of politeness, she tentatively asked the dean: "Comrade dean, you don't know what I do?"
What is it?"
"Military doctor Asiya," the dean didn't know what Asiya's abilities were, so he would not rush to arrange any important work for her to avoid any mistakes. But considering that the other person was Sokov's wife, he said casually.
: "General Sokov just woke up yesterday and is still very weak. Although we have arranged a special nurse to take care of him, no one is more suitable than you to take care of him personally."
"Great, this is really great." In fact, even if the courtyard didn't say anything, Asiya wanted to make the same request to the dean. Since the other party took the initiative to arrange for her to take care of Sokov, she naturally wanted to thank him:
"Thank you, Comrade Dean. I thank you on behalf of my husband."
Seeing that the dean had arranged work for Asiya, Yakov was eager to return to the weapons and equipment department, so he urged the dean: "Comrade dean, since the work has been arranged, let's go see Sokov now.
." After saying that, without waiting for the dean to speak, he raised his legs and walked outside.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yakov walked out of the office, he collided with two workers carrying printing plates in the corridor. The black ink on the printing plates immediately stuck to Yakov.
Seeing that they had gotten into trouble, the two workers quickly apologized to Yakov: "I'm sorry, Comrade Colonel, please forgive me. We were in a hurry to deliver the things to the printing room and didn't notice you."
Yakov did not argue with the other party, but said pleasantly: "It doesn't matter, you didn't mean it, just go and continue working."
"Oh my god, it's ink." After the workers left, Asiya found that Yakov's military uniform was splattered with black ink. "This thing is not easy to wash."
The dean also apologized to Yakov for the recklessness of his subordinates: "Colonel Yakov, I'm really sorry for soiling your uniform. I happen to have a ready-made military uniform here. How about you wear mine first?"
?”
Seeing that the dean's figure was different from his own, Yakov shook his head, then took off his military uniform, held it in his hand, and said to him: "It doesn't matter, comrade dean, I still have extra military uniforms at home.
I'll return it later. Now, let's take us to visit Sokov."
The three of them came to the ward. Vera, who was sitting by the bed chatting with Sokov, saw the dean appear and immediately stood up and reported: "Comrade dean, General Sokov's condition is normal. He has no fever or symptoms."
Signs of wound infection.”
The dean nodded after hearing this, turned to Asiya behind him and said: "Military Doctor Asiya, let me introduce to you. This is Nurse Vera. I arranged for her to take care of General Sokov..."
Asiya's eyes had been fixed on Sokov since she entered the ward. When she saw Sokov being wrapped in bandages like a mummy, her eye circles became red, so much so that she didn't even hear the dean talking to him.
What did you say.
The dean saw Asiya's absent-minded look and knew that she was worried about Sokov's condition. However, he did not immediately introduce Sokov's condition, but continued to say to Vera: "Vera, Lieutenant is Asiya."
Military doctor Ya, she is the wife of General Sokov. From today on, the two of you will take turns taking care of General Sokov."
When Vera was about to say hello to Asiya, she saw that Asiya had rushed to the bedside, bent down, grabbed one of Sokov's hands, pressed it tightly to her cheek, and asked with a choked voice:
"Misha, didn't I tell you not to go to the front line casually? Why can't you always remember it?"
Seeing Asiya's appearance, Sokov was particularly excited. Hearing the other party's concerned reproach, his heart felt warm. He tried hard to put a smile on his face and said softly: "Asiya
Ya, it’s great to see you here!”
Yakov, who didn't want to see the two of them messing around, walked forward, wrapped the ink-spattered military uniform, put it on the chair next to him, turned to the dean and said: "Comrade dean, you are in the ward.
Can't we put two more chairs? There is only one chair here, and if a few people come to visit, there won't even be a place to sit."
The director wanted to tell Yakov that this was a confidential hospital and usually no visitors were allowed, but thinking of the other party’s identity, he still smiled and said: "You are right, Colonel Yakov. I will arrange for more people immediately."
Put some chairs here so that people who come to visit can have a place to sit."
Yakov did not want to disturb Sokov and Asiya's reminiscing. After chatting for a few words, he got up and left the ward with the dean. The two came to the corridor, and Yakov asked with some worry, "Comrade dean, what are you doing?"
Although Misha is awake, there will be no postoperative wound infection, right?"
"Comrade Colonel, postoperative wound infection has always been a troublesome problem." The dean said with a wry smile: "We have many wounded who did not die on the battlefield, but lost their lives in vain because of postoperative wound infection.
.But I think General Sokov may not encounter this situation."
The dean's words aroused Yakov's curiosity: "Why?"
"Before General Sokov was sent to our hospital, the military doctors who rescued him used a new type of anti-inflammatory drug on him." The director explained to Yakov: "This antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drug is more effective than ours.
Any drug used today is very effective. Otherwise, they would not have dared to send General Sokov directly to our hospital after his operation while he was still awake."
"This anti-inflammatory drug is so effective, have you continued to use it on Misha?"
"No."
Hearing the dean's negative answer, Yakov couldn't help but frowned: "Since you said the effect is better than all the medicines we use today, why don't you continue to use it for him?"
"So, Comrade Colonel." The dean said in embarrassment: "This new type of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drug was provided to us by the Allies. As far as I know, their troops have not used it on a large scale yet, but they have given priority to providing it to us in large quantities. , I think there may be some conspiracy."
"Conspiracy, what conspiracy?" Yakov asked in confusion.
"The reason is very simple," the dean explained: "While this drug is still being tested, the Allies have not signed any customized contract with the manufacturer. I even suspect that they provide us with this drug just to take advantage of our Commanders and soldiers conducted human tests for them to see what toxic and side effects they had."
Originally, Yakov heard that there was a medicine that could effectively suppress postoperative infections, and wanted the dean to give it to Sokov so that he could effectively avoid postoperative infections. It was heard that this medicine might be something the Allies wanted. Using Soviet commanders and fighters to conduct human experiments immediately put an end to this trend.
Yakov walked out of the hospital alone and greeted the second lieutenant on duty at the door: "Comrade second lieutenant, I'm out."
Seeing Yakov coming out, the second lieutenant quickly ordered his subordinates to take down the camouflage net covering the jeep, and took the initiative to explain to Yakov: "Comrade Colonel, I am worried that the enemy's reconnaissance plane may happen to pass by. , once your vehicle is discovered, the location of the hospital will be exposed, so we ordered someone to cover your vehicle with a camouflage net."
"You did the right thing, Comrade Second Lieutenant." Yakov agreed with the Second Lieutenant's approach: "I was originally worried that the target might be exposed if the car was parked outside for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. Thank you so much.”
Seeing that the soldiers had taken off the camouflage net covering the jeep, Yakov thanked the second lieutenant again, opened the door and got into the car, started it and drove back, hoping to return to the weapons and equipment department as soon as possible.
But not far into the journey, Yakov was stopped by a temporarily added checkpoint.
Seeing that the soldiers at the checkpoint were all wearing blue hats, he knew that these people were from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he parked his car steadily five or six meters away from the checkpoint and turned on the He leaned out of the car door and asked a captain who was walking over: "Comrade Captain, when did you set up the checkpoint? There wasn't one when I just passed by here."
The captain did not answer Yakov's question, but walked to the car, looked Yakov up and down carefully, and then said expressionlessly: "Please show me your ID!"
When he heard that his ID was going to be checked, Yakov immediately reached out to take it out. But as soon as his hand touched his clothes, he secretly screamed something bad. The military uniform that was stained with ink should be placed next to Sokov's bed at this moment. on the chair.
He grinned at the captain and said with some embarrassment: "Comrade Captain, I'm really sorry, I forgot my ID in the hospital. If you are willing to wait for me, I can go and get it right away."
The area near Lubyanka was originally a sensitive area, and the person in front of him showed up here regardless of driving, and he did not have a valid ID on him. The captain immediately became suspicious of Yakov. He took a step back, and then moved towards the checkpoint. After waving his hand, following the signal he sent, seven or eight soldiers with live ammunition rushed over. They surrounded the jeep in a fan shape and pointed their black guns at Yakov.
Seeing the dark gun muzzles all around, Yakov immediately realized that the other party had misunderstood him, and quickly explained: "Comrade Captain, I am Colonel Yakov from the Weapons and Equipment Department. I just went to Lubyanka Hospital to visit patients. If you
If you don’t believe me, you can go to the hospital with me in person and I will show you the certificate.”
Unexpectedly, the captain did not listen to Yakov's explanation at all, but directly issued an order that he regretted: "Capture him, and then take him back for interrogation to see how he got here in Lubyanka."
.”
Seeing several wolf-like soldiers rushing forward, Yakov did not resist, but obediently allowed the other party to cut his hands behind his back, put on handcuffs, and escorted him to the checkpoint.
