Chapter 1521

The soldier soon finished the call, walked back to me, looked at me with vigilant eyes and asked, "sorry, comrade commander, I just called and asked. The duty room said I didn't know about it."

"What, I don't know about it?" When I heard the soldier say so, I couldn't help but look a little silly. My heart said that the telegram had Antonov's signature on it. Did I receive a fake telegram?

The platoon leader behind me stepped forward and asked the soldier in a loud voice, "Comrade soldier, where is your star officer?"

The soldier glanced at the guard platoon leader with scornful eyes and said coldly, "no one can enter the general staff without a pass and no one's greeting."

"You..." seeing that the soldiers despised themselves so much, the guard platoon leader could not help getting angry. He leaned forward slightly and planned to rush to teach each other. I know very well in my heart that if we fight at the gate of the General Staff Headquarters, even if we are reasonable, we may have nothing to eat. So I quickly stopped my platoon leader and tried my best to restrain myself. I asked the soldier, "Comrade soldier, please call your officer on duty. I have something to say to him."

Seeing my kind attitude, the soldier released his grip on the handle of the gun. He turned to another young soldier and said, "go and invite the major. He should have finished his lunch at this time."

I took the platoon leader to the jeep parked on the opposite side of the road and said to him in a low voice, "Comrade lieutenant, this is the location of the general staff of the Red Army. Don't be reckless. Even if the soldiers on duty show any unfriendly behavior, they should keep calm. Do you understand? "

After listening to what I said, the platoon leader looked at the soldier opposite with fierce eyes and said, "Comrade commander, are we going to let it go?"

I took a look at the soldier standing upright at the gate and said casually, "the guard soldier is doing his job right. He is also doing his duty."

After waiting by the car for a while, I saw a major, accompanied by young soldiers, appear at the door. The soldier who didn't let us in reported to him and pointed to our position with his hand. The major followed the direction of the soldier's fingers and saw us standing beside the car. He had a look of astonishment on his face. He flew to me like a flying horse. After raising his hand to salute me, he reported his rank and name to me according to the regulations. Finally, he asked, "general oshanina, please forgive me. I just left temporarily."

"Do you know me?" When I heard the major call out my name, I was very curious. After looking him up and down, I couldn't remember where I had met him. Without waiting for his reply, I went on to say, "Comrade major, I have been ordered to report to the general staff. Can you let me in?"

"Comrade General, when I accompanied marshal vasilevsky to the front line before, I met you from a distance." After briefly explaining the reason why he recognized me, the major asked solemnly, "may I ask, who did you come from?"

"General Antonov." I looked at the major and replied without expression, "I came to the general staff to report on the order of general Antonov, deputy chief of general staff."

"So it is." After listening to my reply, the major showed a smile on his face. "Comrade General, you have come to the wrong place. No wonder my subordinates can't find out who called you."

"What's going on?" I was confused by the major's words, and I asked, "isn't this the general staff?"

"Yes, comrade general, this is indeed the seat of the general staff." With a smile on his face, the major replied, "but there is also an office of the general staff in the Kremlin where marshal vasilevsky usually presides over the work. But since he was injured, general Antonov, deputy chief of general staff, has been in charge. And here, "he continued, shaking his head at the red building in the courtyard across the street," is now in the charge of general Ivanov, deputy chief of staff. "

After the major finished, I asked tentatively, "Comrade major, that is to say, I have to go to the Kremlin to find general Antonov?"

"Yes, it is." The major said with a smile, "I'll call you there, so you won't be stopped when you pass."

"Thank you, comrade major." After thanking the major, I turned and told the platoon leader who was standing by, "major, let the soldiers get in the car. We'll go to the Kremlin immediately."

Jeeps and two trucks along the road along the Moscow river came near the Church of St. Vasili, and were blocked by checkpoints on the slopes of Vasili. A lieutenant with a submachine gun on his chest came out of the inspection station made up of sandbags and wooden bars, came to our car and asked aloud, "which part of you are here? What's the matter here?"

I quickly pushed the door open, leaned out half of my body and said to the lieutenant, "Comrade lieutenant, I'm coming back from the front line. I'm going to see general Antonov, deputy chief of general staff."

"General oshanina?" Without waiting for the lieutenant to reply, I saw a captain in a military coat running out from behind a pile of sandbags. He came to my car, stopped and said, "I'm here to meet you on the order of the deputy chief of general staff."

"Where is general Antonov?" I asked the captain as soon as I got out of the car“ The deputy chief of general staff is in the office of the supreme commander. " The captain quickly and respectfully reported to me, "I'll take you to the office of the general staff." I nodded and said to the captain calmly, "Captain, take me to the office." The captain agreed in a hurry, turned around and walked up the slope to show me the way. I just walked two steps, but I was stopped by the lieutenant again. He reached out to me and said dryly, "Comrade General, please show me your identification!" After two more inspections, I finally passed through the door of the Kremlin and arrived in front of the office of the general staff. The captain stopped and politely said to me, "Comrade General, the conversation between the deputy chief of general staff and the Supreme Commander himself may not be over yet. Please wait here for a while." Then he raised his hand and pushed open the two closed wooden doors. I walked into the office and saw that the office facing the door was full of all kinds of documents besides desk lamp and telephone. Just as I was looking at the layout of the room, I heard a familiar voice: "Rita, here you are!" I was startled by the sudden sound, and instinctively turned to look in the direction of the sound. Zhukov was sitting at a conference table covered with green cloth, half turning, one hand on the back of the chair, staring at me. After a moment of doubt, I strode towards Zhukov. After standing in front of him, I raised my hand and saluted: "Hello, marshal, nice to meet you here!" Zhukov stood up, reached for my hand, and then slowly said, "Rita, welcome to Moscow. I've been waiting for you here."
