In the next two days, although the nurse still delivered three meals to my ward on time. But whenever I'm free, I'll go to the restaurant to see the old lady and valoka. Because she had to be on duty in the restaurant, the old lady seldom went home, so she lived in the duty room in the corner of the restaurant, and valoja naturally lived with her.
After an hour's nap, I got out of bed and got ready to go to the dining room to see the old lady and valoka. It was at this time that I heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming from outside. I listened and stopped for a moment. There were at least forty or fifty people who could make such a noise.
With a command, the orderly footsteps stopped outside my door. Listening to the sudden disappearance of the footsteps, my heart beat faster. At this moment, I even thought that the Ministry of internal affairs sent me to arrest me. After all, I stopped them shooting "German spies" in the subway that day. With this, they could arrest me.
I went to the window to have a look. This is the third floor. It's about ten meters above the ground. If I jump down, I will be disabled even if I don't fall to death. It's impossible to escape from the window. It's even more impossible to rush out of the door. Don't say I'm unarmed now. Even if the bobosha submachine gun is still around me, I still have no chance of winning in the face of dozens of fully armed interior ministry soldiers.
At present, the only thing I can do is to let go. As long as they don't shoot me on the spot, I still have a chance. As long as Colonel bzikov knew the news, he would be able to plead for me in front of Stalin, and then I would have a chance to escape.
I sat down on the edge of the bed, waiting for people outside to break in. The hands on the bed trembled uncontrollably because of nervousness.
However, after waiting for a long time, I didn't see the scene of breaking into the house as I expected. I only heard someone speak in a low voice outside.
I could not help but stand up curiously, went to the door, gently opened the door and looked out. Every few meters in the corridor stood a fully armed soldier, wearing a blue hat with a big eaves hat. Especially at the opposite door, there was an officer with a briefcase and a pistol on his shoulder, walking back and forth in the corridor.
When I opened the door, although my action was very light, it still alerted a soldier standing guard opposite. He came over with a big stride, pushed the door open and whispered, "what are you doing?"
I was startled by his action. Fortunately, he flashed in time and was not touched by the door. In the face of his question, I faltered and replied, "I heard something outside. Let's see what's going on."
Without waiting for the soldier to ask again, the officer I saw just now also went into the ward, looked at the soldier, then looked at me and asked seriously, "what's the matter?"
The soldier quickly replied, "report to major, I found the wounded comrade opening the door and peeping, so I came to stop her."
The major of the internal affairs department took a book and a pencil from his briefcase, turned to a blank page, looked at me and asked coldly, "your name, position and rank, when did you begin to live in this ward?"
I looked down at my clothes and found that I was wearing a medical suit, not a military uniform. No wonder the major was so tough on me. I pointed to the military coat hanging on the coat rack by the door, and replied angrily, "Comrade major, please have a look at that military coat, which is wearing the rank corresponding to my rank." Seeing that the major looked back and carefully checked the rank on his coat, I said in a sarcastic tone, "Comrade major, do you see clearly? I'm a commander and you're a major. According to the regulations, you should salute me instead of speaking to me in such a bad manner. "
My words embarrassed the young major a little. Just at the same time, a voice broke in and said, "this is commander o'shanina. Don't you know that?"
A few of us looked in the direction of the voice. Bezikov and another major from the interior department were standing at the door. Then the major looked familiar. I took a second look and immediately recognized major zuyev, who I met in the subway station. I didn't know what he was doing in the hospital. Did he really come to catch me? However, when I saw bezikov beside him, my heart went back to my belly. Based on my relationship with the colonel, it was estimated that the people in the interior department would not take me away so easily.
Major zuyev did not speak to me, but glared at the major in the room and scolded him in a low voice: "I said, comrade major, your task today is to protect the safety of the leader, not to go to the ward of major oshanina to inquire her identity." Although he said this to the major, I always felt that he was a bit accusing.
The major and the soldiers in the room saluted me, went out of the ward without a word, and went back to their respective posts.
Seeing them leave, major zuyev also saluted me and said coldly: "Comrade commander, we are carrying out the task. If there is nothing important, please don't leave the ward, otherwise there will be some misunderstanding, which will be bad for everyone."
"I see, my comrade major!" Bezikov took the conversation, pushed zuyev out a step, then stepped into the door and closed the door behind him.
The door is not completely closed, and the corridor can still be clearly seen from the crack of the door. I asked bzikov quietly, "Comrade Colonel, why are you here?"“ I'm here to give you orders. " He took a document out of his briefcase and handed it to me. "There's an order for you to go back to the army immediately." I took the document, glanced at it casually, and asked, "when do you expect me to leave?"“ You can start at any time. The car and guards from the eighth division of the guards are waiting for you down there. " At this point, bzikov thought hard about the name of the escort, "what's the name of the lieutenant who came to pick you up? He also told me just now... "It's Ramis, isn't it?" I tentatively reminded him“ Yes, that's the name I was relieved to hear that it was Ramis. No wonder I haven't seen him since I came out of the subway station. It turns out that he went back to the front line“ What's the matter with the house troops outside? " I looked at the two majors standing outside through the crack of the door and asked bezikov curiously, "what's the big man here? There are two majors leading the team." Berzikov also looked out through the crack in the door and replied in a low voice, "don't you know? Today, with the permission of Comrade Stalin, comrade Ustinov came to the hospital to visit engineer Florin. "“ Ustinov This name is strange to me. I have never heard of it: "who is he?" After listening to me, bzikov had an incredible expression on his face. "No, you don't even know him?"“ Well, I may have heard of him, but I can't remember who he is for the moment. " I quickly perfunctory“ You can remember this time, "bezikov told me about the resume of this mysterious leader:" his full name is Dmitry Fedorovich Ustinov. He is currently in the position of the people's Committee on weapons and equipment, and is responsible for leading the production of guns and the development of new weapons. " After listening to the explanation of bezikov, I have a little impression of this mysterious figure. I guess he may be the youngest member of the people's Committee who was called by Stalin in the movie "the defense of Moscow". Just as he was talking, a command came from outside: "everyone, stand at attention!" I looked out through the door, only to see the back of a group of soldiers, they just came out from the opposite ward of Ustinov blocked tightly, so that I can not see his true face. A group of people gathered around the young people's committee members. As soon as they left, a stretcher carried by four soldiers came out from the opposite ward. Although I could not see the patient's face on the stretcher, I immediately guessed that engineer Florin was lying.
