Chapter 218

The next day when the captain was asked to go to a meeting, I was lying in bed with my stomach covered in my forehand, suffering from dysmenorrhea. I don't know if Rita had this problem all the time or only after she suffered an abdominal injury.

Yesterday after the phone call, just returned to the room began to attack, pain I roll all over, fortunately, Nina just off work to see. She helped me lie on the bed, fed me a cup of honey water, and helped me rub my stomach for a long time before I got better. Unexpectedly, after one night, it broke out again at dawn.

Hearing the knock on the door, I covered my abdomen with my hand, got down from the bed, walked slowly and opened the door. Standing at the door was the captain who delivered the clothes yesterday. When he saw me like this, he first saluted according to the rules and reported respectfully, "Mr. oshanina, I've come to invite you to attend the military meeting in half an hour on the order of general Zhukov."

I nodded and said feebly, "I see. Where will the meeting be later? "

"In the conference room on the first floor. If you go down the East stairs to the first floor, you will see the soldiers on duty. They will tell you how to go After answering my question, he hesitated for a moment. Finally, he asked with concern, "what's the matter with you, sir? May I call a military doctor for you? "

I looked at him gratefully, shook my head and said, "it's nothing. Maybe I had a cold last night and my stomach was a little uncomfortable. I'll be fine in a moment. Don't bother the military doctor. Thank you, comrade captain

The captain saw that I didn't want to ask for a doctor, so he didn't insist. After saluting again, he turned and left.

I closed the door and went to the bathroom to wash my face. Although I know I can't touch cold water these days, I don't know where I can find hot water. I can only make do with it.

Walking slowly along the stairs to the first floor, I saw soldiers standing guard on both sides of the corridor. Seeing me coming down from the stairs, I was immediately welcomed by a second lieutenant. As soon as I fixed my eyes, I recognized the Officer immediately. I used to deal with him when I was in the headquarters. Although I couldn't name him, I knew each other. He also recognized me, immediately said to me with a smile: "Hello! Mr. o'shanina, are you here to attend the meeting? Please follow me, and I'll take you

I followed the second lieutenant through the soldiers on both sides and came to a spacious reception room. The second lieutenant made a please sign and said, "Mr. o'shanina, this is it. Please." Then he saluted me and left.

There are already many people in the reception room. I glanced at the ranks of all of them. I was shocked to find that they were all generals. The major general with the lowest rank was me. The rest were almost generals, and even two generals. Some stood, some sat on benches against the wall, and the familiar people gathered to chat in a low voice.

The door of the reception room was closed, and outside sat a lieutenant officer of the headquarters. He looked at the commander who came in, as if he was silently remembering which commanders had come, and repeated from time to time: "please take off your coat, comrades general, please take off your coat..."

I saw a long hanger nailed to the wall between the doors. The hanger was already covered with short fur coats and military coats. I took off my military coat and found a vacancy to hang it up.

While considering whether to take a seat, suddenly a low voice came from the side: "eh, if I'm not mistaken, today should be a high-level military conference. How can there be a female commander to attend? And it's still a major general! "

I went along the line of fame. It turned out that two major generals sitting on the bench were talking about me in a low voice. Just now, the middle-aged man with a wide face was sitting on the left. As soon as he finished, the bitter faced officer next to him glanced at me and said frivolously, "old man, you know, military rank can be obtained not only in the battlefield, but also in other places. As a woman, as long as she serves her superiors well, she can still get a high rank. "

Then they laughed at the same time. Because the sound of bitter gourd face was very loud, almost all the people in the reception room heard it, and everyone turned their eyes to us.

For their humiliation, I immediately blood to the head, glaring at them, step forward, is ready to rush to give them a punch. Just then someone behind me put his hand on my shoulder and said softly, "Rita, don't be impulsive!" It stopped my recklessness.

I looked back and saw that the one standing behind me was actually group army commander General rokosovsky. He stepped forward two steps to the two major generals and said coldly, "I don't know how they got the rank of major general, but I can tell you very responsibly. The rank of general o'shanina was obtained by her own strength on the battlefield. Not to mention that she has won so many battles under her command, even she has killed more bandits than you can see. "

Seeing a lieutenant general come out to speak for me, they blushed and stood up. Just as they wanted to say something, a familiar voice came over: "general rokosovsky is right. It is obvious to all that oshanina has repeatedly made war contributions. Only Comrade Stalin will personally make an exception to promote her to the rank of major general."

When I looked back, it was lieutenant general Vlasov who said good things for me this time. Behind him were two generals, lelushenka and dovator. When I noticed them, they all gave me a smile and nodded.

Two major generals who talked about me saw that two generals with higher ranks spoke for me. They realized that they had said something wrong and apologized to me. Then they went to the other end of the room. When rokosovsky saw two old comrades in arms who were discharged from hospital after injury, he immediately pulled them to chat excitedly. After shaking hands with Vlasov, I asked him gently, "Comrade commander, is deputy commander Lin from China here?" Vlasov shook his head and said: "no, yesterday the German army launched another attack on wolokoramsk. After deputy commander Lin directed the troops to repel the enemy, he organized another counterattack and successfully wedged into the enemy line for two to three kilometers. He is organizing troops to strengthen the defense in the area today, so he can't get away to attend this meeting. " I felt a little sorry to hear what Vlasov said. I wanted to meet the military God at the meeting and ask him for advice. It seems that I have no chance. When I was melancholy, the lieutenant on duty at the door opened the door of the inner room, then let himself to the door and announced in a high voice: "comrades general, please come in!" This sentence is like the order of attack to all people. In an instant, people, whether they are crowded in the reception room or sitting on the bench, rush to the door. I deliberately fell behind others and let those who were higher than myself go ahead, so I was the last group to go in. When I crossed the threshold, the first thing I saw was Zhukov, who was standing in front of a big map on the wall with his hands behind his back, looking at the generals coming into the room without expression. The group commanders who went in first sat around the long tables, while the lower level commanders sat on the benches against the wall. Seeing that Zhukov didn't notice me, he quickly sat down in an obscure corner.
