While several people were talking, a student hurriedly walked in from outside the door. After entering, he looked around, and when he saw Sokov who was chatting with Victor and Sukhalev, a smile appeared on his face.
With a shocked expression, he quickly walked towards Krezhiow's position.
"Vadim," Krezhiow asked with a straight face when he saw the student walking towards him, "where did you go and why did you come back so late?"
"Comrade students," the student known as Vadim was Krezhiow's deputy when he was in the army. However, he did not answer Krezhiow immediately at this moment. Instead, he squeezed into the circle and stood there.
Face said mysteriously: "Guess who I just saw?"
"Who did you see?" Krezhiow said displeasedly, "We see many generals every day in the academy. Even if a higher-ranking commander comes, it's not worth making a fuss about."
"Comrade Major, you are right. We can see many senior commanders in the academy. Even if a general comes, there is nothing to make a fuss about." Vadim said to Krezhiow: "
But here today is Marshal Zhukov."
"What, Marshal Zhukov has come to the academy?" Krezhiow opened his eyes in surprise and said, "Where is he now?" Zhukov's reputation in the army is extremely high, and the commanders and soldiers in the army want to see it with their own eyes.
He, Krezhiow, is no exception.
"left already."
"What, gone?" When Krezhiow heard the news, his face was full of disappointment, and he said with a heartbroken look: "Vadim, why didn't you come back earlier and tell me."
"Vadim," Miresyev thought about the issue in much more detail than Krezhiev. He asked Vadim: "Where did Comrade Marshal go after he arrived at the academy?" He tried to track Zhukov's whereabouts.
, to infer the other party’s intention.
"I didn't go anywhere, I just stayed in the dean's room."
"Staying in the dean's room all the time?" Miresiev raised his eyebrows, "Did Marshal Zhukov come here specially to see the dean?"
"Marshal Zhukov came to the college to meet someone, but that person was not the dean." Vadim whispered: "After the man entered the dean's room, the dean and others came out.
Only that man and Comrade Marshal stayed in the room."
"Who is that person?" Krezhiow and Milesiev asked at the same time.
"Here," Vadim pursed his lips toward Sokov in the distance and said, "That's Captain Sokov."
"Captain Sokov?" Krezhiow looked at Sokov and said with shock: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. When the marshal arrives at the college, he will kick the dean out of the office and leave him alone.
I met a little captain, Vadim, did you secretly drink and talk nonsense here?"
"No, Comrade Major." Seeing that Krezhov did not trust him, Vadim became a little anxious, and he quickly explained: "I saw it with my own eyes."
"How is this possible?" Krezhiow frowned and began to think: "What is the background of Captain Sokov? Even Marshal Zhukov had to call him to the dean's office to meet alone after he arrived at the academy."
"I think what Vadim said is true." Miresiev said: "Have you forgotten that just after class, a teacher came and pushed Captain Sokov away in a wheelchair?
?Maybe he was ordered to take Captain Sokov to see the marshal."
After Miresiev reminded everyone, everyone immediately remembered that this was indeed the case. At that time, Krezhiow was still gloating and thinking that maybe Sokov had made some mistake and was called to be punished by the teacher. However,
Unexpectedly, he secretly went to see Marshal Zhukov.
Krezhiowf began to think that if he wanted to develop better in the future, he would need some human resources. He had been in the training class for two months, and he was surrounded by commanders of similar levels to himself.
Even the few teachers in the training class were not of much help to his future.
Captain Sokov obviously has such resources. As long as they are properly developed and utilized, they can pave a road to a higher level. In order to achieve this goal, it seems that he should get close to Sokov and ease the relationship between them.
Strained relationship.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Krezhiow got up and was about to go over to express his goodwill to Sokov, but he saw a teacher coming in from the outside. After the teacher entered, he only paused for a moment and said:
He walked over to Sokov's position.
Krezhiow recognized at a glance that it was the instructor who was extremely dissatisfied with Sokov in the street fighting theory class. He secretly muttered to himself, what is the teacher doing here? Could it be because Sokov was in class yesterday?
With such an attitude, you came to him to accuse him?
But the scene that happened next surprised Krezhiow. The teacher walked up to Sokov and greeted him with a nod and a bow. It was more of a conversation than a conversation between a teacher and a student.
Report work to superior commanders as subordinates.
"What on earth is going on?" Krezhiow pondered in his mind: "It seems that Sokov does have a great background, otherwise this teacher who was cold-hearted to him yesterday is now groveling to please him.
The other party. This shows that Sokov's background is so great that even the teachers dare not offend him." Thinking like this, Krezhiow became more determined to have a good relationship with Sokov.
And Miresiev, who was standing next to Krezhiow, was also thinking about a question: Yesterday, this teacher unabashedly revealed his dislike of Sokov, but overnight, his dislike of Soko
My husband's attitude took a 180-degree turn, and something unknown must have happened.
There were conflicts between Krezhiev and Sokov, but Miresiev and Sokov had a good relationship. He walked towards Sokov, wanting to hear what the teacher and Sokov were saying up close.
something.
But when they were still seven or eight steps away, the teacher had already finished talking to Sokov and was about to leave. But the last words he said unintentionally shocked Miresiev.
I just heard the teacher say: "Comrade General, if I don't understand something in the future, I will come to you again to ask you. Do you allow me to leave?" Seeing Sokov nodding, the teacher turned and walked out of the classroom.
The teacher's words were like thunder exploding in Miresiev's ears. He instinctively connected the title of general with Sokov's surname. "Oh my God." He thought to himself: "This
Captain Sokov is actually the decorated General Sokov?"
"But why does he hold the rank of captain?" As soon as this idea came up, he thought of a new possibility: "This is a training class for intermediate commanders. If there is a general sitting among everyone, he will definitely give
Everyone brings invisible pressure, which affects the effect of learning. But if he wears the same military rank as everyone else, he will not attract special attention from others. This will not only not affect everyone's studies, but also effectively conceal his own
identity."
Just after thinking this, he saw the calm expressions of Victor and Sukhalev, and he couldn't help but have a new idea: these two commanders have been staying by Sokov's side, and after hearing the name of the instructor,
, and were not surprised at all. It seemed that they had known Sokov's identity for a long time.
Miresyev came to Sokov and asked in a low voice with a smile: "Comrade Sokov, should I call you captain or general?"
When Sokov heard Meresyev's question, he realized that his identity might have been discovered by the other party. He neither admitted nor denied it, but smiled and said: "Alexei, it's not convenient for us to talk here.
Let's talk outside." Sukharev didn't wait for Sokov to speak, and took the initiative to push his wheelchair out. Victor followed closely behind, and Miresiev was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed.
Go up.
The four of them came to a deserted place, and Sokov said: "Alexei, you should see that I am wearing the rank of captain, so you should definitely call me Captain Sokov. As for titles like general,
I’m afraid it will take a long time.”
When Miresyev heard this, he realized that Sokov had tactfully admitted his true identity, but hoped that he would not reveal the secret. Miresyev nodded vigorously and said with understanding: "That's right, isn't it?
No, you are Captain Sokov, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that."
Next, he reminded Sokov: "Captain Sokov, your meeting with Marshal Zhukov today was seen by a student in the class and told to Major Krezhiow."
"Oh, someone saw me meeting Marshal Zhukov?" This time it was Sokov's turn to be surprised: "Who was it?"
"That's Captain Vadim, Major Krezhiow's deputy." Miresiev said truthfully: "He saw you and Marshal Zhukov coming out of the dean's office with his own eyes."
Sokov originally had doubts about Miresyev's statement, but when he heard that Vadim saw him and Zhukov coming out of the dean's office, his doubts were immediately dispelled. After all, Zhukov did not deliberately do anything when he left.
He keeps his whereabouts hidden, and it is inevitable that he will be seen by others.
Sokov smiled faintly and asked: "What was Major Krezhiow's reaction after hearing this?"
"He didn't believe it at first." Miresiev continued: "But when he saw the teacher who gave the lecture yesterday came in and spoke to you in a humble manner, he believed that your relationship with Marshal Zhukov was extraordinary, otherwise he would not have been able to believe it.
Even the teachers are so respectful to you."
"Then how did you confirm my identity?"
"It's very simple," Miresiev explained: "When I just approached you, I happened to hear the instructor calling you Comrade General, but you didn't put forward any meaning to this title, so I immediately connected you with the military exploiter.
The illustrious General Sokov was contacted to guess your identity."
After saying this in one breath, Miresiev looked at Victor and Sukhalev and said: "If I guessed correctly, you should have known the identity of the general a long time ago."
"That's right." Sokov answered for the two of them: "Victor is a battalion commander from the 182nd Division. When I was still serving as the commander of the 27th Group Army, I visited the 182nd Division many times.
Captain, so he recognized me on the first day of school." After saying this, he tilted his head and looked at Sukhalev, "As for Captain Sukhalev, he is a good friend of Victor.
He also learned my identity at the same time."
Although Miresiev had already guessed the answer to Sokov's concealment of his identity, for the sake of safety, he still curiously asked: "Comrade General, why do you wear the rank of captain when you go to the military academy to study?"
"The reason is very simple, Alexey." Sokov explained to Miresiev: "I am currently participating in an intermediate training class. The class is full of captains or majors, and suddenly a general appears and sits with them.
Studying together will bring a lot of psychological burden to them, so after discussing with the hospital, I decided to participate in the intermediate training class as a captain."
"So that's it." Miresiev confirmed from Sokov's mouth that his guess was correct, and then asked: "Then when you participate in the senior commander training course next time, will you change your mind?"
Where are the senior military ranks?"
"That's for sure, Alexey." Sokov said: "The advanced training courses train division-level commanders. If I still wear the rank of captain, I will look out of place among them. By then,
, I will change to the rank of lieutenant colonel."
"Comrade General, I have a request, I don't know whether I should say it or not?"
"If you have anything you want to say, just say it." Sokov said to Miresiev in an encouraging tone: "As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely agree to it."
"Comrade General, after this training is over, my duties may be adjusted when I return to the army, and I may be transferred to a new command position." Miresiev said hesitantly: "I want to become your subordinate.
, I wonder if you agree?"
When Sokov heard what Miresiev said, he turned to look at Victor and Sukhalev, and couldn't help laughing. When Sokov smiled, Victor and Sukhalev also
Laughed loudly.
The laughter of the three people confused Miresiev. He looked at Sokov and asked in confusion: "Comrade General, did I say something wrong somewhere?"
"Major Miresiev," Victor explained to him with a smile: "Do you think Comrade General does nothing in the class every day? In fact, he has already selected some students from the class and plans to use them to enrich his class.
troops. And you happen to be one of them." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and said friendly, "You are welcome to join us."
Miresiev was overjoyed to learn that Sokov had already included him in the list of commanders of the new unit. However, he was only happy for a few seconds, and his expression became serious again: "Comrade General
, now we are still facing a problem."
"what is the problem?"
"In one month, our junior cadet class will graduate." Miresyev said to Sokov: "After graduation, most of the cadets will return to their original units, and the remaining ones will also be recruited.
Assigned to a new unit. And you also need to attend advanced training courses and higher-level training courses. There is no way the hospital will let us wait a few more months, right?"
"I have already considered what you are worried about." Seeing Miresiev's worried look, Sokov, in order to reassure him, prepared to give him a reassurance: "When I met with Marshal Zhukov today,
I specifically mentioned the preparations to recruit some students from the intermediate training class into the new army. Now Comrade Marshal has agreed to my request. You can stay in the academy and follow me after I complete all my studies.
