During the chat between Sokov and Malenkov, he found that the other party was a person who knew how to find topics. Every time, he felt like he was running out of things to say, but the other party easily brought up a new topic, and the two of them could talk about it.
continue to be happy
Keep chatting.
While chatting, Malenkov suddenly said: "Misha, I used to know someone with the same name as you."
"A person with the same name as me?" Sokov asked in surprise: "Who is he?"
"Mikhail Ivanovich Sokov lives in Dimirazevsky Street, Moscow."
After hearing this, Sokov's eyes widened in surprise, because the name the other party mentioned was the father of the body he had taken away. He asked cautiously: "Comrade Malenkov, do you know my father?"
"What, Mikhail Ivanovich is your father?" Malenkov said with a shocked face: "I thought you guys happened to have the same name."
"Yes, Comrade Malenkov, Mikhail Ivanovich is my father." After giving the other party a positive answer, Sokov repeated the question just now: "Do you know him?" "
Of course, of course I know him." Malenkov said: "I joined the army in 1918 and served as a political worker at the company, regiment and brigade levels. But I have never been on the battlefield, I was only responsible for political work in the army.
Propaganda work. That’s when I met your father. He was a cavalry battalion commander and once saved Comrade Stalin’s life in battle. It’s a pity that he died too early, otherwise even if he couldn’t become a marshal, he would still be a marshal.
A general of about the same level as you."
Sokov grinned when he heard what Malenkov said, but he was thinking in his heart, even if old Misha did not die young, could he have successfully escaped during the years of the Great Purge?
Malenkov asked coldly: "By the way, where is your father's cemetery? If I have time, I will go to pay homage to him."
How could Sokov know where old Misha's grave was? He was dumbfounded for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Seeing this, Malenkov asked with some surprise: "Misha, don't you know where your father's grave is?"
"I know, of course I know." Sokov deliberately pretended to be heartbroken and said: "He is buried in the Saint's Cemetery in Moscow, but because of this damn war, I haven't been able to pay homage to him for many years.
"Originally, Sokov only stayed for about ten minutes before leaving. Unexpectedly, the two of them chatted more and more, and actually forgot the time. At this moment, in order to get rid of the embarrassment, he raised his hand and looked at the time, and found that he was already at Malenkov's place.
It had been more than two hours, and he hurriedly stood up and said goodbye to the other party: "Comrade Malenkov, it's late, I'll take my leave now, and I'll come to visit you another day."
"Misha, it's rare that we have such a happy chat, why don't we chat for a while?"
Faced with Malenkov's enthusiasm, Sokov could only reply with a wry smile: "Comrade Malenkov, the security personnel responsible for my security are still waiting outside. They will be worried when they see me not going out for such a long time.
"
After hearing what Sokov said, Malenkov no longer wanted to keep the other party. He took the initiative to reach out his hand and said with a smile: "Then let's talk another day."
As soon as Sokov walked out of the building, Vaserigov came up to him. He first glanced into the door, and then asked in a low voice: "Comrade General, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, what can happen to me?" "Comrade General, you took too long to go in. I'm worried that something happened to you." Vasergov explained to Sokov: "You know, go see Zhukov
The marshal's people rarely talk for more than ten minutes.
, and you have been in there for nearly three hours, I thought something had happened."
"I met a leading comrade." Sokov said casually: "I chatted with him for a few more words, and I wasted time without realizing it."
After waiting for the car to start, Vaselgov, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around, looked at Sokov sitting in the back seat and asked: "Comrade General, I wonder which leading comrade you have met?" Sokov
I didn't want to tell the other party at first, but then I thought about it. Vaserigov was the security personnel assigned to him by Zhukov. Before that, he had been staying in this building. He must know many people, so he cautiously told him.
He said cautiously: "It's Comrade Malenkov, do you know him?" "Yes, of course I do." Vaserigov nodded vigorously and gave Sokov a positive answer: "When I was working at the headquarters,
I often saw him coming to see Marshal Zhukov. On two occasions, I went in to see him.
Reported. He is a kind-hearted person, he basically has no airs in front of us, and the staff in the building respect him." As for Vaselgov's statement that Malenkov is a kind-hearted person, Sokov is right.
He is skeptical. In his limited memory, Malenkov has always been known for his tough methods and does not know how to cover up his own crimes.
A few years later, he would join forces with Beria to fight the powerful Zhdanov. Although he was once expelled from the core of power by Stalin, he was still a person whom Stalin trusted. It is said that Stalin was later
Called "Loving Father", it was Malenkov's initiative. In early 1925, Kaganovich discovered Malenkov and arranged for him to work under Stalin's secretary. In 1930, Kaganovich was promoted to the top of Moscow City
Later, Malenkov was appointed as the head of the Organization Bureau of the Municipal Party Committee. It is said that every time he saw Stalin, he would excitedly say to the people around him: "When I see Comrade Stalin, I feel like I have met Comrade Stalin."
Like his loving father." He always firmly supported Stalin's ideas. It didn't take long for him to be appreciated by Stalin and entrusted with important tasks. After the outbreak of the Patriotic War, although Malenkov's achievements were mediocre,
Since he had an extremely important position in Stalin's mind, it did not hinder his ascent in any way. After the war, he was even made the head of the committee responsible for dismantling German industrial equipment. This shows how much he was influenced by Stalin.
Sokov began to wonder whether he should take advantage of the fact that old Misha and Malenkov were friends to deepen the relationship.
What about our interactions with each other?
While Sokov was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard Vasergov say: "Comrade General, I just saw Adelina."
"What, have you seen Agelina?" Sokov asked nervously while looking out of the car window: "Where is she? Why didn't I see her?" "You misunderstood, Comrade General."
Seeing that Sokov kept looking out of the car window, Vasergov knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, and quickly explained: "The place where I saw Comrade Agelina was in the headquarters building.
Building. When she saw me, she even asked me about you."
p;"Why is she in the headquarters building?" Sokov asked in surprise. Seeing Sokov so surprised, Vasergov was a little surprised: "Comrade General, isn't Agelina transferred to the interpreter?"
Is the translation team working? The translation team works in the headquarters building. I met Ajie here.
??????55.??????
Comrade Lina, this is perfectly normal." Having not seen Agelina for so long, Sokov still missed her a lot. For a moment, Sokov couldn't help but want to give the driver an order,
He asked him to turn around and return to the headquarters, and he could go find Agelina. But then he thought about it, if he really did this, if someone with ulterior motives saw it and used it to make an issue in the future, I'm afraid it would bring trouble to him.
It's a big trouble. The best way is to wait until next time to see Zhu Ke
When he was married, he stopped by the translation team in the building to find Adelina, so that no one could gossip. Vaselygov originally thought that after Sokov knew where Adelina was, he would immediately do it without hesitation.
He immediately ordered the driver to turn around and go back to the headquarters, and then go find Agelina. But he waited for a long time and still didn’t wait for the request.
He guessed that Sokov might have his own considerations in not asking the driver to turn around, so he did not ask any questions that would embarrass Sokov.
After the convoy arrived at the hotel, Sokov got off the car and said to Vaserigov: "Major, I'm going back to the room first. If anything happens, call me directly."
"Understood, Comrade General."
Sokov returned to his room and continued writing his novel.
Just after writing two pages, the phone on the table rang. Sokov put down his pen, stood up and picked up the phone: "I'm Sokov!"
Yakov's voice came from the receiver, accompanied by the sizzling sound of electricity: "Misha, it's me, I'm Yakov." "It turns out to be Yasha." Because the sound of electricity in the phone receiver was too loud
The sound was so loud that Yakov's voice could not be heard clearly. Sokov had to say loudly: "Yasha, the signal on my phone here is not good. You speak loudly."
point."
"Misha!" Yakov raised his voice and said: "Comrade Eisenstein asked me to call you and ask you if you have any suitable recommendations for the heroine Leda in "The Dawns Are Quiet Here"?"
"Yes," Sokov replied: "I intend Valentina Serova to play this role."
"What?" Yakov's tone was full of shock when he heard Sokov's order: "You plan to let Valentina Serova play the role of Lida? Is this appropriate?" Sokov
Hearing the hidden meaning of Yakov's words, he quickly said: "Yasha, I understand what you mean. Serova is an excellent actress. No matter how close her relationship is with anyone, it will not affect our decision to let her play the role of Li
reach
This role." Seeing that Sokov understood his hint, Yakov hesitated for a moment and said: "Misha, I will convey your opinion to Comrade Eisenstein. But is he willing to use Serova to play the role?
As for the heroine, it’s hard to say.
Besides, you also know that Serova is a famous actress. Even if Comrade Eisenstein doesn't say anything, whether she is willing to play this role is still a question."
"Don't worry." Sokov comforted Yakov and said, "Just convey my intention to Comrade Eisenstein and see if he will agree. If not, we will find a suitable person to play this role.
.”
: "Okay, Misha." Since Sokov has already said this, Yakov can't say anything more: "I will convey it."
After a pause, Yakov continued: "Misha, since we talked about Serova, I want to tell you one more thing." Sokov was thinking in his heart, did Yakov want to tell him, about Serova?
Marshal Kossovsky stopped for a moment outside Serova's residence every morning. But instead of rushing to tell the answer, he asked: "Yasha,
I don’t know what it is?” “I heard about this matter. I don’t know whether it is true or not. Because you are my friend, I told you specially.” Yakov said: “It is said that Japan
Comrade Danov admires the works of writer Simonov very much
He read "Smoke from the Motherland" and highly praised it. However, my father had exactly the opposite view of this work. After Simonov learned the news, he was very panicked and quickly asked Zhdanov for advice.
How to revise this work in order to gain my father's favor. Unexpectedly, Zhdanov changed this work on the spot without saying a word.
Together with Simonov, he cursed him so much and kicked Simonov out of his office." When Sokov heard this, he realized that Zhdanov did this just to please Stalin.
, but his exaggerated performance made people feel embarrassed. The result of his doing this was not only useless, but also probably
It will also have the opposite effect.
Sokov knew very well that Yakov would not talk about this to him for no reason. There must be more important things to say later, so he asked straight to the point: "Yasha, do you have anything to say to me?"
?" "Yes, Misha, I do have something to say to you." Yakov kindly reminded Sokov: "My father did not agree with you to continue writing the novel "The Siege" because of the content in the novel.
, involving Leningrad
If you really write it, you might offend them. I suggest that after you finish "An Ordinary Soldier", you should stop writing novels and find something else to do."
Sokov smiled bitterly and said: "Yasha, I am now a general without any real power. If I don't write novels, what else can I do?" "You can go to the General Ordnance Department." Yakov said:
"Don't forget, Comrade Ustinov once promised you that he will always reserve a position for you. No matter when you want to join the General Ordnance Department, he will welcome you
." Yakov's words made Sokov think deeply. If he could no longer write novels, joining the General Ordnance Department as a military engineer seemed to be a good choice. But Sokov
I understand
, the assault rifles, 107 rockets and anti-tank rocket launchers that I developed were all copied from later generations' materials. If I really asked myself to design a new weapon, the secret would definitely be exposed immediately. Seeing Sokov's delay
Without saying anything, Yakov thought that the other party was still unwilling to join the General Ordnance Department, and he didn't want to embarrass himself, so he murmured: "Misha, I just want to give you a vaccination in advance. What are you going to do in the future?
, it’s up to you to make your own decision.” Sokov waited for Yakov to finish speaking, and then said smoothly: “Yasha, I may return to Moscow after a while. As for what kind of job I will do in the future, I will wait until I return.
Let’s talk about it in Moscow. Do you think this will work?
"Ah?! You are finally going back to Moscow. When will you come back?" Yakov said in surprise: "I will pick you up at the station."
