Sokov and Lukin certainly couldn't help with organizing and translating the files, so they could only stay in the city and wait patiently for the results.
Sokov was sitting in front of the window, looking at the people coming and going on the street outside, and wondering why Xinjing was more prosperous than Fengtian, when he heard someone knocking on the door. He got up, walked to the door, and opened the door.
Upon taking a look, I found that the person knocking on the door was none other than Lu Jin.
"Comrade Deputy Commander, why are you here?" As he said that, Sokov reached out to push the wheelchair.
But Lu Jin waved his hand and said, "Misha, I want to go for a walk. Are you interested in accompanying me? Look, I've even changed my clothes."
Only then did Sokov notice that Lu Jin was wearing a captain's military uniform. It seemed that he didn't want to be too conspicuous when shopping, so he changed into a low-key military uniform. After he understood what Lu Jin meant, he quickly
Said: "Comrade Deputy Commander, please wait a moment, I will also find a suitable military uniform."
Sokov returned to the room, made a phone call to Lyudnikov's adjutant, and said politely: "Comrade adjutant, I want to go for a walk on the streets of Xinjing with my deputy commander, but we don't want to go back."
Striking, can you help me find a lieutenant's uniform?"
In response to Sokov's request, the adjutant replied without hesitation: "Okay, General Sokov, I will send someone to send you the military uniforms as soon as possible."
Half an hour later, Sokov pushed Lu Jin's wheelchair and walked on the streets of Xinjing. Several guards were followed more than 20 meters behind them. The reason for maintaining such a distance was that
In order not to affect the two commanders' conversation, secondly, if anything happens, they can rush over and deal with it in time.
"Misha," after the two of them walked on the street for an hour, Lukin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked up and asked Sokov: "It's almost noon, I feel a little hungry, how about you?"
"Me too." Sokov asked Lukin for his opinion: "Should we turn around and go back to the hotel?"
"No, no, no, no." Lu Jin stopped Sokov, who was about to push himself back, "I heard that the food here in Xinjing is good, we might as well try it."
"Do you have a suitable place?" Sokov asked.
Lu Jin took a deep breath and then said: "I seem to smell the aroma of scones nearby. Let's look for it somewhere. If it's suitable, let's eat it there."
Hearing what Lu Jin said, Sokov felt that he could smell the fragrance in the air. He looked around and saw a restaurant across the road, with a plaque hanging on the door that read "Yang Mazi"
A big character. Seeing this sign, relevant information immediately emerged in Sokov's mind: Yang Mazi was founded in the 21st year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty, that is, 1896. It is a famous time-honored snack bar in Xinjing. Its main products
There are more than 20 kinds of "Yang Mazi Flatbread", "Yang Mazi Pie", "Yang Mazi Stewed Cake", etc. In addition, there are also Northeastern specialties such as Guobao Pork, Beijing Sauce Shredded Pork, and Killed Pig Vegetables.
Sokov pointed across the street with his hand and said: "Comrade Deputy Commander, there seems to be a restaurant there. Let's go there to eat."
"Okay," Lu Jin nodded and said, "We'll go there to eat."…
But when Sokov pushed him across the street, he suddenly asked worriedly: "Misha, we don't speak Chinese, how are we going to order food later?"
Sokov smiled faintly after hearing this, and then said lightly: "Comrade Deputy Commander, don't worry, there will always be a way."
When Sokov pushed his wheelchair to the door, the waiter who was waiting for customers at the door was stunned for a moment, and then came up to help carry Lu Jin's wheelchair into the store. After entering the store, the waiter asked politely: "
Sirs, I wonder if you are sitting in the hall or in the private room upstairs."
Sokov deliberately waved his hand to express that he did not understand. The waiter must have dealt with Belarus and could speak a few words of Russian, so he stumbled and repeated what he had just said in Russian. Sokov waited for him to finish.
He pointed to a seat by the window, indicating that he was going to sit there. Seeing this, the waiter quickly pushed Lu Jin's wheelchair to the table.
After Sokov sat down, he took out the menu stuck in his waist, placed it in front of Sokov, and said respectfully: "Sir, what do you want to eat?"
Sokov let go of the menu and saw that it was written in both Chinese and Japanese. He couldn't help but frown slightly. His fingers slid over the names of the dishes, occasionally pausing for a moment and saying briefly: "This, this, and so on."
There is this..."
After ordering five or six items, Sokov returned the menu to the waiter: "Order this much first, and then order more if you don't have enough."
As soon as the guy left, the guards followed him into the hotel. Seeing Sokov and Lukin sitting near the window, they couldn't help but stop and cast their eyes on Sokov, wanting to see if the commander had anything to do with it.
What an order.
Seeing this, Sokov pointed to a corner in the distance where there were no guests, and motioned for them to sit there. The guard who received the signal did not dare to neglect and walked quickly towards the corner.
While waiting for the food, Sokov suddenly heard two people chatting behind him. He only heard one of them say: "The ranking of military commanders in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is one Lu, two Zhao, three Dianwei, four passes, five horses and six Zhang Fei. What do you think?
Tell me, how come Mr. Guan, who is so good at martial arts, is ranked fourth when even Changshan Zhao Zilong and Dian Wei, who plays double halberd, are ranked in front of him?"
Another person retorted: "Although Guan Erye has the glorious record of killing Hua Xiong with warm wine, beheading Yanliang and Wen Chou, and killing six generals after passing five passes, if he were in Changbanpo, he might not be able to kill like Zhao Zilong of Changshan."
With seven in and seven out, what's wrong with having him line up behind Zhao Zilong?"
"You are wrong. The reason why Zhao Zilong was able to kill seven in and seven out in Changbanpo was because Cao Cao gave an order to capture alive and not to shoot cold arrows. Otherwise, even ten Zhao Zilongs would have died in the chaos.
In the military formation." The person who spoke first said unconvincedly: "Let me tell you, Master Guan was born in the Three Kingdoms. If he were born now, when the little devil enters the Northeast, Master Guan only needs to carry his Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
, you can kill the little devils until their heads are rolling, and let them go back to their hometown obediently."
"Come on," another person said: "No matter how high Mr. Guan's martial arts skills are, can he deal with the guns and tanks of the Japs?"
Hearing this, Sokov suddenly remembered that he had watched some short videos before. A sand sculpture broadcaster named Li Erniu liked to make some stickman war videos. Among them, some of the most insulting videos were: First,
Can 20 machine guns block the attack of 150 cavalry? Second, can 60 machine guns block the attack of 500 cavalry? Third, seven tanks encounter 300 Guan Yu, who can win the final victory...
Anyone with an above-average IQ knows what the final result will be. But in Li Erniu’s video, the regiment was wiped out before even half of the cavalry could be wiped out by 20 machine guns; a third of them were killed by 60 machine guns.
One cavalryman was hacked to death with random swords; and the video of 300 Guan Erye was even more outrageous, killing all the tanks at a very small cost. He probably thought that the Qinglong Yanyue Sword used by Guan Erye was from Star Wars.
That kind of laser sword can kill the opponent's tanks like chopping melons and vegetables.
"Misha," just as Sokov was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Lu Jin's voice: "What are you thinking about?"
Sokov was shocked, and immediately took his thoughts away from those sandbox videos, looked at Lu Jin and asked: "What's the matter?" "I see that you have been in a daze, and the expression on your face is still half-smiling. It seems that you have thought of something.
What funny thing happened?" Lu Jin asked curiously: "Can you tell me what happened that made you feel so funny?"
Naturally, Sokov would not tell Lu Jin that he accidentally thought of those shady videos that he would watch in later generations, and was amused by the low IQ of the broadcaster. He could only say perfunctorily: "I was thinking, if I didn't mind my own business yesterday, I would kill him
The Japanese gendarmerie, maybe we are already in Fengtian right now."
"Yes, if we had not taken action against the gendarmerie, we would have returned to Fengtian at this moment." After Lu Jin said this, he looked at Sokov and asked: "Misha, do you regret it?"
"No regrets." Sokov said carelessly: "There is nothing to regret. To be honest, the Japs can't be considered human beings, they can only be regarded as two-legged beasts. To say they are beasts is an insult to beasts.
, if I could make the decision here, I'm afraid there will be more little devils who will use their lives and blood to wash away the crimes they committed against the Chinese people."
Lukin did not comment on Sokov's statement. Although he did not know why Sokov hated the Japs so much, he knew in his heart that no matter what decision Sokov made, he, as his deputy,
Just cooperate.
First, the signature Yang Mazi pancakes and pies were brought to the table, and then the waiter brought the Guobao Pork and Beijing Sauce Shredded Pork. Finally, a pair of knives and forks were placed in front of the two of them: "Two sirs, please order.
All the dishes are served, please take your time!”
Lu Jin picked up the knife and fork in front of him and said with interest: "Strange, why do they have knives and forks here?"
"Comrade Deputy Commander, you didn't realize that the waiter in the shop can also speak a few simple words in Russian, which means that Belarusians often visit here." Sokov said: "It's not surprising that there are knives and forks."
"Yes, yes, it is possible." Lu Jin nodded and said, "I heard that the little devils, like the Chinese, use a type of tableware called chopsticks when eating. They definitely don't have access to knives and forks.
Those who can use a knife and fork are undoubtedly expatriates from Belarus or other countries."
The two chatted while eating, and it took almost an hour to finish all the food on the table.
When Sokov saw the waiter standing at the counter, looking towards him, he waved to him and motioned for him to come over.
The waiter ran all the way to Sokov, nodded and bowed and asked: "Sir, what else do you want to order?"...
"We've finished eating." Sokov politely said to the waiter: "Calculate for us, how much does it cost in total?"
Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, the waiter said unexpectedly: "Two sirs, your account has been settled!"
"Ah, someone has settled our bill?" Sokov couldn't help being shocked when he heard what the waiter said. He turned to look at the guards in the corner and found that they were engrossed in eating. It was definitely impossible for them to settle the bill.
He turned his head and looked at the waiter: "Who did it?"
"That's the gentleman sitting by the stairs!"
Sokov looked in the direction of the waiter's finger, and found a middle-aged man wearing a long coat and round glasses sitting there. Seeing Sokov looking towards him, he raised the teacup in his hand to ask Sokov.
Cove paid tribute.
Sokov looked at the other person carefully for a long time, and then asked Lukin in a low voice: "Comrade Deputy Commander, do you know that person?"
Lu Jin shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't know you." After a moment of pause, he said awkwardly, "Misha, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I think Chinese people all look the same."
Sokov agrees very much with Lukin's statement. He remembers that when he first arrived in Russia, he saw people with similar appearances, so he often mistook people. But Lukin is now in a similar situation to himself.
.
Sokov stood up, walked up to the man, and asked politely: "Sir, do you speak Russian?"
"Yes," the man stretched out his hand to signal Sokov to sit down opposite him, and then explained: "One of my tutors is from Belarus, and I have been learning Russian since I was a child. It can be said that Russian is my second mother tongue.
."
After hearing this, Sokov couldn't help but feel moved, and began to mutter to himself, did he say something secret when he had dinner with Lu Jin just now? It would be terrible if this man heard it. Fortunately, after thinking for a long time, he realized that he
It was just a casual chat with Lu Jin, and no confidentiality was involved. Even if all the conversations were heard by the man, there would be no problem.
The reason why he sat here was to find out how he could pay the bill for him if he was not related to this man. With this question, he asked straight to the point: "Sir, I want to ask, we seem to be
We’ve never known each other, why do you want to help us pay the bill?”
The man glanced at the military uniform Sokov was wearing, and then said with a smile: "Although you are only wearing a lieutenant's military uniform, I still know your true identity?"
Hearing what the other party said, Sokov couldn't help being slightly surprised, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Sir, do you not know what my true identity is?"
"You are the commander of the 53rd Army. No, your troops are not called commanders, but commanders. You are the commander of the 53rd Army, General Sokov. I am not wrong."
Sokov's face suddenly changed. He put his hand on the holster of his gun and asked warily: "Who are you and how do you know my identity?" He said this, undoubtedly acknowledging what the other party said.
wrong.
When Lukin saw the situation here in Sokov, he also realized that something was wrong. He quickly moved the wheel with both hands, moved the wheelchair to Sokov's side, and asked vigilantly: "Misha, what happened?"
Sokov pointed at the man with his hand and said: "He knows my true identity. I want to find out who he is."
