"Kopalova, I am actually the one who is looking for you." Sokov took a step forward and looked at his old lover, who had already aged. He couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart: "I want to ask you about some things from the past."
When Kopalova saw that the person speaking to her was actually a foreigner, her expression suddenly became indifferent, and her tone of voice was also distant: "I don't know you, and I have nothing to say to you.
.”
Sokov was not discouraged. He coughed lightly and cleared his throat: "Although you don't know me, I know many stories about you..."
Kopalova glanced at Victoria, who was standing next to her, and said coldly: "You heard everything about me from Lida, right?"
"No." Sokov shook his head and said leisurely: "When I heard the story about you, I had never met Lida."
"Oh, Lida didn't tell you." These words aroused Kopalova's interest: "I would like to know, what do you know?"
"For example, when you and General Sokov were on your way to Vienna, you were attacked by bandits." Sokov felt that he should say something special, so as to increase Kopalova's trust in him: "Then
Almost all the passengers on the train died at the gunpoint of the gangsters, but you survived because, in addition to those few guards, General Sokov also played a huge role in it."
As soon as Sokov finished speaking, a shocked expression appeared on Kopalova's face. Her lips trembled and she asked: "You, how did you know about this?"
The reason that made Kopalova so shocked was very simple. Almost all the passengers on that train died at that time, and only a handful of people survived. The young man in front of her could understand this matter, and it was obvious that someone informed her about it.
His. But what Kopalova didn't expect was that these things were experienced by Sokov himself and not heard from others.
Victoria glanced at Sokov in surprise. Although the other person had told her that he had memories of previous lives, she always thought that he might have made it up deliberately to comfort her great-grandmother. But now she saw
Come on, there is a high probability that this is true.
"I'm sorry, Kopalova, I once promised others not to tell anyone the source of the news." Sokov felt that it would take a lot of time to explain clearly to Kopalova, so he asked
The excuse was passed over, and then he went straight to the topic and asked: "I came to you today just to find out how General Sokov got out of danger after he was accidentally injured after arriving in Vienna and serving as the commander of the 4th Guards Army.
?I know that you have a very close relationship with him, and we went to Vienna together. Some things should be known in more detail than others."
Hearing Sokov ask this question, Kopalova looked at the picture frame hanging on the wall, her eyes became hollow, as if she was recalling what happened that year.
Regina brought two cups of hot tea and greeted the two of them: "Don't stand, please sit down. Have a cup of hot tea by the way!"
After the two sat down on the sofa next to them, they both focused on Kopalova, wanting to hear what she would say next.
Kopalova woke up from her meditation, looked at Sokov and asked: "I don't know what to call you?"
"My Russian name is Mikhail, you can call me Misha!"
"What a coincidence, his name is Misha too!"
Sokov knew very well who "he" Kopalova was talking about. Isn't it his past self? In order to understand what happened in that era after he returned to modern times, he carefully urged:
: "Can you tell me what happened next?"
"Misha, I'm talking about that Misha." After Kopalova finished her statement, she started her own meeting: "Back then, as a member of the special correspondent team, I went to Vienna to establish a foreign correspondent station. As a result, in
I was attacked by bandits on the border between Austria and Hungary. It was only thanks to Misha and his few guards that I was able to reach Vienna alive.
After arriving in Vienna, he arranged for someone to escort me to the press station, and he went to see the then garrison commander, General Malinin, and officially took over the position of commander of the 4th Guards Army. After taking office, he immediately went to the 20th Guards Infantry Army.
He was inspecting work at the army headquarters, but on his way back to the headquarters, he was attacked by bandits and unfortunately was seriously injured."
"Sorry, let me interrupt." When Victoria heard this, she couldn't help interrupting Kopalova's story and asked curiously: "You said it was March 1946, and the war had ended for almost a year.
Time, where did the gangsters appear from?"
"I think they should be some stragglers who slipped through the net." Kopalova said thoughtfully: "Maybe they also received covert assistance from the British and American troops. It is said that the firepower used in the attack was very powerful. Otherwise, Misha was so vulnerable.
A commander who has experienced hundreds of battles is not easily injured."
Sokov secretly muttered to himself that during the attack, the gangsters used mortars and machine guns. If it were during the war, they would have been at best the combat effectiveness of an airborne team. However, they were caught off guard at the time, and they were responsible for protecting their own safety.
The troops were temporarily mobilized and lacked sufficient experience, otherwise they would not have been injured.
I heard Kopalova say again: "After he was injured, he was immediately sent to a field hospital. General Malinin personally arranged for the best doctors to operate on him. General Malinin's order to the doctors was to do everything possible.
Do whatever you can to revive Misha."
"Did he survive?" Victoria couldn't help but ask. After asking, she realized that what she said was nonsense: "How long did he stay in the hospital?"
"Probably more than three months." Kopalova said: "After the operation, he lay in the hospital for a few months, and the injury was basically healed, but the strange thing is that he was always in a coma. The doctor
We did many tests on him and found that he was almost like a normal person, but we just didn't know why he didn't wake up.
Later, his wife Asya, Marshal Zhukov, Marshal Rokossovsky, and his good friend Yakov..."
"Wait a minute," Victoria interrupted Kopalova again: "Yakov's name sounds familiar."
"The name Yakov certainly sounds familiar to you." Kopalova explained: "He is Stalin's eldest son Yakov."
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible." Victoria said with a face full of shock: "Stalin's eldest son Yakov died in a German concentration camp in April 1943. How could he still visit that man in 1946?
Where is General Sokov?"
"Officer, I am also confused about this issue." Kopalova said with a wry smile: "According to historical records, Stalin's eldest son Yakov died in the Saklin concentration camp on April 15, 1943.
But I did see Yakov, and I had seen Yakov in the city as early as the Battle of Stalingrad. According to common sense, he should be in a German concentration camp at this moment."
"What on earth is going on here?" Victoria glanced at Sokov, then looked at Kopalova again and asked, "What on earth is going on here?"
"This is also what puzzles me." Kopalova said: "Sometimes I even wonder if there is a person like Misha in the world. Maybe he is a character in my imagination."
"Kopalova, you should continue to tell us how General Sokov woke up."
"Although many people came to visit him, he never woke up." Kopalova said: "It wasn't until one day in mid-June that the doctor accidentally found Misha who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed during his rounds.
, but stood in front of the window wearing a hospital gown, seeming to be looking at something.
After hearing the news that Misha had woken up, the hospital director and some important people rushed to Misha's ward, wanting to witness this miracle with their own eyes.
But what is unexpected is that Misha has no impression of the people in front of him at all, and stupidly asks others: Where is this place and who are you?"
"Ah, that general has lost his memory?" Victoria said in surprise: "Then does he still know you?"
Kopalova slowly shook her head and said: "Although his eyes were full of surprise when he looked at me, he couldn't remember my name. I don't know whether he was attracted by my appearance or thought I looked familiar."
, but I can’t remember who it is.”
"What about the others?" This time it was Sokov's turn to ask: "Can he recognize them?"
Kopalova shook her head first, then nodded and said: "He didn't recognize his wife Asya. But he recognized Marshal Zhukov, Marshal Rokossovsky and General Malinin at a glance.
I wonder if he saw the photos on the wall before he could immediately identify who these senior commanders were."
After learning that Sokov actually suffered from amnesia after recovering from his injury in 1946, cold sweat broke out on Sokov's forehead. If what Kopalova said was true, after she woke up, she suffered from amnesia.
, then won’t you also forget all the information you memorized during this period?
"What happened next?" Sokov hesitated for a long time and finally asked in a hoarse voice.
"In June 1946, Marshal Zhukov was demoted due to various special reasons and was transferred to Odessa as the commander of the military region. In July, Mischa was also dismissed from the post of commander of the Guards Army.
, transferred to the Odessa Military District and served as deputy commander."
"Isn't he Lukin, the deputy commander of the Odessa Military Region?" Victoria turned to look at Sokov and asked strangely: "How could he become the Misha you know?"
"The Odessa Military Region has more than one deputy commander. Misha serves as the first deputy commander, and Lukin only serves as an ordinary deputy commander because he has a lower military rank than him."
"Oh, so that's it."
This was the second time Sokov heard such remarks, and he murmured to himself that he had returned to 1946. If he really served as the first deputy commander of the Odessa Military District, then he would use this time to
Build a good relationship with Zhukov so that when he is reinstated, you can benefit from it.
"What happened next?" Sokov continued: "Kopalova, what happened to the General Sokov you mentioned?"
"I don't know how to answer your question," Kopalova said: "I am older now and my mind is very confused. I always dream about many things that happened during the war years, so that I can't figure out what happened.
Was it something that really happened, or was it just a dream I had."
"The end of science is metaphysics," Sokov said to Kopalova with a smile: "There are many things that science cannot explain, so just treat them as metaphysics."
After a pause, he asked the most crucial question: "By the way, I heard from Lida that when you returned to Moscow in the 1950s, you brought back a little boy. Can you tell me the father of that child?
Who is it?"
Kopalova hesitated for a while, and then said: "They are the children of me and Misha. Unfortunately, my son and grandson died in a car accident many years ago."
Sokov keenly captured a key word from Kopalova's story: "The person who was in the car accident with your son is your eldest grandson. Can I understand that you have another grandson?"
"
"That's right." To Sokov's question, Kopalova did not deny it, but answered truthfully: "My other grandson is now in his fifties, and Regina is one of his children.
"
After receiving Kopalova's confirmation, Sokov felt particularly excited. He did not expect that he would have the opportunity to meet his descendants here. The charming Regina in front of him was his great-granddaughter.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, this was obviously not the time to tell the truth. Sokov simply asked two more questions, then turned to look at Victoria and asked: "Vika, it's getting late.
,Should we go back?"
Since Sokov wanted to leave, Victoria naturally would not contradict him. She quickly stood up and said to Kopalova: "Kopalova, it's getting late. Let's go back first and come to visit you another day."
"Little girl," Kopalova took Victoria's hand and said softly: "If you have time, bring your great-grandmother over. I want to chat with her. After all, we were once comrades in the same trench.
"
Before answering this question, Victoria vaccinated Kopalova: "No problem. But I want to remind you first that my great-grandmother is very old and has Alzheimer's disease. Can she come to you?
It’s still an unknown.”
"Yes, she is old after all." Regarding Victoria's statement, Kopalova expressed her understanding: "We still can't control when she is awake."
After the two left Kopalova's house, they got into a car parked on the roadside.
"Vika," Sokov turned to look at Victoria and asked, "Are you really planning to let Leda meet her?"
Victoria thought for a while and then said: "Judging from the chat today, my great-grandmother and this Kopalova should have a good relationship. I will tell her about this when I go back. As for whether I will come or not.
Seeing Kopalova here, we can only try our luck."
"Vika, your consideration is correct." Sokov was also very worried about Lida's current physical condition: "We can tell her about today's meeting. As for whether she is willing to come here, it should be decided by
