"Misha, let's go back to the train station right now?" Seeing Sokov rushing back to the station, Seryosha reminded him: "Didn't you promise Captain Serelkov to go find him after coming out of the headquarters?"
"Yes, yes, that's what I said." Sokov nodded and said, "Then let's go find Captain Serelkov now."
Captain Bisenbin, who happened to pick Sokov here, was nearby. Seryosha quickly asked politely: "Comrade Captain, I wonder if you can take us to Serelkov's place? You know, we are old friends, after so many years.
No, I have a lot to say."
"No problem." Bissenbin said cheerfully: "I happen to know where he lives. I will take you there now."
Under Bissenbin's guidance, several people quickly arrived at a nearby building.
Serelkov has been having trouble calming down since he just met Sokov and Seryosha. When Sokov was still serving as commander, he took special care of him. After Sokov left the group army due to injury, he had the closest relationship with him.
There is no better person than Seryosha. Later I learned that he had died on the battlefield, and I was still sad for a long time. Unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which surprised me.
At this moment, seeing Bisenbin bringing Sokov and others to his residence, Serelkov first thanked Bisenbin and then invited Sokov and others to enter the house: "Comrade Commander, stop standing at the door.
Please come in."
Sokov walked into the room and found that it was a suite. Not only was the area not small, but the living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and toilet were all complete. He couldn't help but said: "Seryolkov, your room is nice. If it weren't for me,
I want to stay here for a few days even if I have to rush to Vienna."
"Comrade Commander, what are you doing in Vienna?" Serelkov had just finished asking this question. He realized that he had made a stupid mistake. How could he casually inquire about the whereabouts of his superiors? He quickly said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Comrade Commander."
, maybe I shouldn’t ask such a question, but I really want to know everything about you.”
"Actually, it's not a secret that I'm going to Vienna." Sokov said: "Perhaps Moscow has officially announced that I am going to Vienna to take over the 4th Guards Army and command this unit to participate in the events held next month.
actual military exercises.”
After learning that Sokov was going to Vienna to take office, Serelkov suddenly had a bold idea in his mind. After a brief ideological struggle in his mind, he bit the bullet and said helplessly: "Comrade Commander, I want to follow
Do you agree to go to Vienna with us?"
Serelkov's request made Sokov a little moved. This time he went to Vienna to serve as the commander of the group army. There were only Seryosha, Vaserigov and a few other people around him. If the others did not cooperate, he would be in trouble.
It is easy to become a mere commander, but if you have old subordinates like Serelkov by your side, you can still be useful at critical moments.
But before Sokov could speak, Seryosha had already said: "Selerkov, I think Misha is very willing to let you go to Vienna with him. But in any case, you are now a member of the 27th Army, how can you
Are you going to leave just now?"
Serelkov was silent. What Seryosha said made sense. If he really wanted to follow Sokov to Vienna, he would first need Trofimenko's consent, and then he could go through a series of transfer procedures. Wait until these things are done.
It will take at least several days to complete.
Although he knew that it would be very difficult to accomplish this matter, now that Serelkov had made his decision, not even nine cows could make him look back. He stood up and said to Sokov: "Comrade Commander,
I will go to General Trofimenko now and tell him that I want to follow you to Vienna, and I hope he will agree."
"This is not good." Seryosha said hesitantly: "Does General Trofimenko think that we came here specifically to pry him off today?"
"Seryozha, since Serelkov has made up his mind, let's do it according to his wishes." After Sokov said this to Seryosha, he turned to Serelkov and said: "Seryelkov
Husband, you go talk to General Trofimenko now and see if he is willing to let you go."
He raised his hand to look at the time and said to Serelkov: "It's getting late. I'll go back to the station first. If you can make it in time, you can go directly to the station to find me. If you miss the train's departure time, you can come to Vienna another day.
Find me. According to the arrangement of my superiors, I will take over the position of commander of the 4th Guards Army. You can go directly to the army headquarters to find me."
After Serelkov sent Sokov and others out, he said to Bisenbin who was standing outside: "Bisenbin, I have something urgent to find the commander now. Please send General Sokov and others to the station."
"This is my duty." Bissenbin turned to Sokov: "General Sokov, the car has been prepared for you a long time ago. Please come with me."
Half an hour later, Sokov and others returned to the station.
As soon as they entered the carriage, Vaselgov came in.
Seeing Sokov sitting by the window, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Comrade General, you are finally back. I was worried that you missed the departure time of the train."
"Don't worry, Major. When we just visited the headquarters of the 27th Army, General Trofimenko, the commander of the Army, called the station dispatching room and said that the train cannot leave until we come back." Sokov explained.
Said: "So you don't have to worry that we will miss the departure time of the train."
Just when Vaserigov turned around and was about to leave, Sokov suddenly remembered what happened to Serelkov and quickly stopped him: "Major, I just met one of my former friends at General Trofimenko's place.
An old subordinate, his name is Serelkov, with the rank of captain, he wants to follow me to Vienna. At this moment, he is probably discussing with General Trofimenko to see if the other party is willing to let him go. Go ask the train conductor, we probably have more
How long does it take to set off so that I can make sure the other party can catch up."
"Your former subordinate?" Vaserigov asked with some surprise when he heard what Sokov said, "I wonder what position he originally held in the army?"
"Major, to be more precise, he should be my subordinate." Seryosha interjected: "When I served as the guard battalion commander at the group army headquarters, he was a company commander under me, and now he is also a company commander.
He became the commander of the security battalion."
"Okay." After Vasergov figured out Serelkov's identity, he nodded and said: "I will go to the conductor now and ask how long the train will leave. I hope this Serelkov can
Catch this train or he will have to stay."
"If General Trofimenko agrees to follow me to Vienna," Sokov continued: "It doesn't matter if he misses the train, he can still rush to Vienna by other means of transportation. Of course, he can follow
It would be best if we leave together."
After Vasergov left, Kopalova, who had always remained silent, asked: "Misha, do you think Captain Serelkov can catch this train?"
"It's hard to say." Sokov was not a fortune teller. He didn't know whether Serelkov could catch the train. He could only resign himself to fate and said: "Let everything take its course."
While he was talking, the box door was suddenly opened.
I originally thought it was Vasergov who had something else to do, but when I took a closer look, it turned out to be Kopalova's immediate boss, Maxim.
Maxim saw Sokov, Seryosha and Kopalova sitting in the box chatting, and said with a smile: "So you are in the box, I thought you were not here."
Sokov didn't have much affection for Maxim at first, but when he saw that he just barged in without even knocking on the door, he felt very dissatisfied: "Comrade Maxim, what's the matter with you coming here?"
Sokov's words were very rude, but Maxim didn't seem to hear the implication. He even walked a few steps inside, found a place to sit down, and said with a smile: "Did you go out at noon?
When I was eating, I didn’t see you there, so I came over to look for you, but there was no one in the box, so I guessed that you might have gone out.”
"Yes, Comrade Maxim, we did go out." Going shopping was not a shameful thing. Sokov said openly: "Budapest is a beautiful city with its unique charm. We
Now that you have come to this city, if you don’t go sightseeing, it would be in vain. Besides, as the capital of Hungary, Budapest not only has many cultural monuments, but also countless delicious food..."
Hearing Sokov mention Hungarian food, Maxim slapped his leg and said angrily: "General Sokov, why didn't you call me when you went out? You know, I am very fond of Hungarian food.
I have longed for delicious food and have wanted to taste it for a long time. If you call me, I will have a feast."
He raised his hand to look at the time and said to Serelkov: "It's getting late. I'll go back to the station first. If you can make it in time, you can go directly to the station to find me. If you miss the train's departure time, you can come to Vienna another day.
Find me. According to the arrangement of my superiors, I will take over the position of commander of the 4th Guards Army. You can go directly to the army headquarters to find me."
