"Misha!" Lunev has always seen Sokov's attitude towards Ponedelin. Now when he heard what he said, he couldn't help but shook his head: "You have to think carefully, don't think they are at war.
In the early days of the outbreak, he once served as the commander and commander of the group army, but after all, he was captured by the Germans. Although no problems were found after screening, they are unreliable personnel after all. You must use them with extreme caution.
That’s all.”
Although Sokov understood that Lunev said this for his own benefit, he still smiled and said disapprovingly: "Lunev, thank you for your concern. In any case, they have passed the screening of the relevant departments.
This is crucial. I believe that if they are placed in the right positions, they will be able to exert their greatest energy."
Lunev saw that Sokov was determined to re-employ Ponedelin and others, so it was hard to say anything. After all, he was not the opponent's military commissar now. Some things could only be persuaded from the perspective of a friend, not as a deputy.
Argue with him.
He sighed softly and said to Sokov: "Misha, since we are partners and friends, if Ponejelin and the others encounter any trouble in the future, you can tell me and I will try my best to help you solve it.
"
"Thank you, I really appreciate you." Sokov was very pleased that Lunev could make such a statement: "If it is possible, I hope that the superiors will let us work together again to build a new
meritorious deeds."
Lunev lowered his head and glanced at the Order of Lenin hanging on his chest, and couldn't help but feel a little excited. He had been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for more than ten years. Although he had won many medals, he had never received such a high-level medal as the Order of Lenin.
Related. But after he partnered with Sokov, he received this high-level medal for the first time. Although he only had a medal this time and was not promoted, he was satisfied to get such a medal.
Considering that by partnering with Sokov, he will get more opportunities for promotion and honors in the future, Lunev will naturally not let go of such a God-given opportunity. He nodded quickly and said: "As long as the superiors do not object, I am willing to work with him."
You continue to partner."
The reason why Sokov wanted to continue to partner with Lunev was entirely because the other party put himself first at work. He never had the slightest objection to the battle plan he proposed, and even fully cooperated with him. Such a good partner, Sokov
Of course, Cove didn't want to replace it.
At this moment, Sokov seemed very happy to see Lunev agreeing to his proposal. He thought to himself that after he took over a new group army, Lunev would definitely be included in the list of personnel reported.
As the military commissar, Ponedelin served as the chief of staff of the group army, while Muzichenko was the commander of the infantry corps and Kirillov was the commander of the infantry division.
"Lunev," Sokov asked Lunev tentatively: "Do you think I should find an opportunity for the three Ponedelin and the twelve students from the intermediate training class to meet?"
"No, absolutely don't." Lunev was startled by Sokov's words and said repeatedly: "You are still studying at the Frunze Military Academy, and you have not been formally assigned any work, so you hurriedly summoned everyone to meet.
, is obviously inappropriate and may cause unnecessary trouble."
Lunev's words reminded Sokov. He realized that calling the two groups to meet at this moment might really cause some unnecessary trouble, so he laughed twice and said with some embarrassment: "Lunev, you are right.
Yes, I did not think carefully about this matter, and it is not suitable for the two commanders to meet at this moment."
Seeing that Sokov was not stubborn, Runev could not help but feel relieved. If Sokov really insisted on letting the two commanders meet, he would consider staying away from him.
It is suspected of being a gang. If this matter is used by someone with ulterior motives, I am afraid it will cause a storm.
When Lunev was about to say goodbye and leave, Asya came over and asked politely: "General Lunev, did you drive here?"
"No." Lunev shook his head and said, "I came here on foot."
Seeing the disappointed expression on Asiya's face, he quickly asked: "Asiya, what's the matter?"
"That's right, I need to buy some daily necessities. You also know that those military stores with sufficient goods are all near the city center..." Asiya paused for a moment, then said: "Since you didn't drive here, then forget it
Yes, I’ll take the subway there and buy it later.”
"You must worry, Asiya." After figuring out what happened, Lunev comforted Asiya: "I'll call the driver and ask him to drive over and take you to the city center to buy things."
"Lunev, thank you so much."
"Don't be so polite, Asia." Lunev said with a smile: "Misha and I are not only partners, but also good friends. This little thing is just a trivial matter, you don't have to worry about it."
While Lunev left the ward and went outside to make a phone call, Asiya bent down to open the suitcase placed in the corner and began to rummage through it. Sokov asked curiously: "Asiya, what are you doing?"
What?"
"I want to change into casual clothes when I go out later." After saying that, she took out a black woolen coat from the suitcase and threw it on the empty hospital bed nearby: "This is what I will wear."
A few minutes later, Asiya, who was originally wearing a military uniform and a white coat, turned into a fashionable girl wearing a long black woolen coat and a white woolen hat. She spun around in a circle quickly
Afterwards, he asked Sokov curiously: "Misha, what do you think of my outfit?"
"Beautiful, so beautiful." Asiya's casual attire reminded Sokov of the first time he saw her in Khimki Town: "Asiya, do you remember our first meeting?"
What was the situation like when we first met?”
"Remember!" Asiya nodded and replied, "I still remember that day when a German reconnaissance team attacked the town of Khimki. You led a squad of soldiers to stop them there. Wait for the militia battalion from the instrument factory to arrive.
By then, there will only be three of you left, and one of the soldiers was defeated, and I was the one who bandaged him."
Sokov remembered that there were only three people left in the class: himself, Seryosha and Christopher. Christopher's arm was injured, and Asya bandaged it for him. That was when he saw him for the first time.
Asiya: "I really didn't expect that after more than two years, you still remember it so clearly."
"Because I met you at that time," Asiya's face showed two blushes: "How could I forget such an important thing?"
After making the phone call, Lunev returned to the ward. When he saw Asiya who had changed into civilian clothes, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Then he said in surprise: "Asiya, I'm used to seeing you in military uniform. I didn't expect to wear it."
It looks so good even in casual clothes.”
"Lunev," Sokov said with a smile on the side: "When she wears the wedding dress, you may think she is even more beautiful."
"That's for sure." Lunev agreed with Sokov's words: "Wearing a wedding dress is the most beautiful moment in a woman's life, and I believe Asya will be no exception."
"Asia," Lunev said to Asya, "my car will arrive in a few minutes. Let's go out and wait for the car now."
The two came to the door of the hospital and saw a black car approaching from a distance. Lunev said to Asiya: "Asiya, that's the car. Do you need me to accompany you?"
"Thank you, no need, Luniev." Asiya said politely: "You still have important work, just ask the driver to accompany me."
"That's okay." Lunev has always had a lot of work on hand. Since he was responsible for receiving Vatutin today, he put it aside for the time being. He wanted to accompany Asiya to the military store in the city center to buy something.
, and then went back to work. Since Asiya offered to accompany you at this moment, he did not insist, so he nodded and said: "I will tell the driver and let him accompany you there."
The car came to a stop in front of the hospital. The driver opened the door, walked around the front of the car, opened the back door, and asked Lunev to get in. But Lunev waved his hand to him and said, "I walk by myself."
Back to the office, you are responsible for taking Comrade Asiya to the military store in the city center and bringing her back safely. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Comrade Deputy Minister." After the driver agreed, he turned around and said to Asiya: "Comrade Asiya, please get in the car."
In Moscow, which has been far away from the threat of war, the barricades at the intersections have been removed, and the iron tripods placed in the middle of the road to block German tanks have also been removed. The number of military vehicles driving on the road has also been greatly reduced. The black car driven by the driver only
It took less than ten minutes to arrive at the largest military store.
The driver stopped the car on the street, turned to Asiya, who was sitting in the back seat, and said, "Comrade Asiya, this is it. I'll wait for you here and take you back after you finish shopping."
Asiya thanked the driver, opened the door and got out of the car.
She saw a long queue at the door of the food store on the other side of the street. Citizens should be queuing up to receive their daily food rations. However, the military store next to her was deserted, with no one coming in or out at all. Through
Looking through the two closed glass doors, there are no customers at all except the salesperson.
Asiya pushed open the glass door and walked in, stopped and looked around, then walked towards the counter selling daily necessities. She nodded to the fat salesperson standing behind the counter, and then said: "Hello, I want to
Buy toothpaste, towels and soap."
After the fat salesperson waited for Asiya to finish speaking, he did not immediately go to help her get what she needed. Instead, she asked: "Comrade woman, are you a military family member?"
"Yes, I am a military family member." Asia replied without hesitation.
"Do you have a military family preferential treatment certificate?"
Although Asiya had heard of this kind of preferential treatment certificate, she felt that she was also a soldier, so she did not apply for this certificate. Unexpectedly, when she was shopping here today, the salesperson actually asked about this certificate, and she could only answer awkwardly:
"Um, there's no such thing."
"I'm sorry, comrade woman." Seeing that Asiya couldn't get the military family member's preferential treatment certificate, the fat salesperson said with a straight face: "You don't have the military family member's preferential treatment certificate, so you can't prove your status as a military family member, so you can't buy anything here. Please
Leave immediately."
"Although I don't have a military ID card, I do have a military ID card." Asiya took out her military ID card from her pocket and placed it in front of the fat salesperson: "This is my ID card. Please take a look at it."
The fat salesman took Asiya's military ID card, opened it and checked it, and then his face suddenly changed: "So you are a military doctor, why didn't you tell me earlier."
After returning the military ID card to Asiya, she asked with a smile: "What would you like to order?"
After Asiya told the fat salesperson what she wanted again, she asked tentatively: "Is there any limit on the amount of money I can buy from you?"
"No, Comrade Military Doctor." The fat salesman said with a smile: "As long as you bring enough cash and can handle it, you can buy as much as you want."
Hearing what the fat saleswoman said, Asiya immediately felt more relieved. She took out a list she had already written, handed it to the other person, and said, "Look, do you have everything on the list?"
The fat salesperson carefully read the products on the list, nodded and said: "Yes, Comrade Military Doctor. You have everything on this list. Do you need one for you according to the above content?"
"Yes, Comrade Sales Assistant." Asiya said in a positive tone: "Please prepare things for me according to the list."
"Can you carry so many things?" The fat salesman asked: "Due to the limited number of people in the store, we cannot provide delivery service. You can only find a way to move everything back by yourself."
"You don't have to worry about this." Asia pointed toward the door and said, "There is a car that can help me take everything back."
The fat saleswoman glanced outside and saw clearly that it was a black car with a special license plate hanging on the front. She realized that the military doctor standing in front of her was a man of considerable background, and she quickly said: "Comrade military doctor,
Please wait a moment, I will prepare what you need right away."
Just as the fat salesperson was preparing the items on the list for Asiya, the glass door was pushed open from the outside, and a lieutenant in his thirties walked in.
When the lieutenant entered the door, he originally headed towards the food counter, but after walking a few steps, he saw Asiya standing in front of the daily necessities counter. His eyes lit up, and then he changed direction and went straight to Asiya's.
before.
The lieutenant nodded to Asiya, and then asked: "Girl, are you here to buy something?"
"Yes," Asiya could only nod when she saw someone asking her, and replied casually: "I'm here to buy some daily necessities."
"Girl, I want to remind you that this is a military store. Non-soldiers are not qualified to buy things here." After the lieutenant said this with a straight face, his face suddenly changed: "But what do you need?
You can tell me and I can buy it for you."
"Thank you, Comrade Lieutenant." Faced with the lieutenant who was getting close to her, Asiya said, not wanting to pay attention to him: "I can buy the things here myself, so I won't bother you."
"Girl, don't say such unreasonable things." The lieutenant continued: "After all, this is a military store. As an officer, I can buy any goods in the store, many of which are not sold to civilians.
of."
Seeing that the other party regarded her as an ordinary citizen, Asiya just smiled lightly and did not explain her identity to the other party. Her current rank is a lieutenant, so naturally she does not need to pretend to be an officer with the same basic level, and said coldly: "
Comrade Lieutenant, please don’t disturb me while I’m shopping, okay?”
