Chapter 1526

The captain led me to the door of a box and knocked gently. His action raised a dissatisfaction in my heart. I thought I could enjoy a single room on Zhukov's special train with my current level. Unexpectedly, I still shared a box with a stranger.

After the door was opened, a middle-aged woman named Xu Niangniang appeared at the door. I looked at her quickly with hostile eyes, only to see that she was wearing a beige knee windbreaker, with ear length short blond hair. Seeing us both standing in the corridor, she smiles at the colonel and politely asks, "Comrade Colonel, what's the matter?"

The Colonel raised his hand to salute him and said with a smile, "Hello, Petrovna. I've brought you a companion. That way you won't feel lonely on the way to zlobin. "

The lady, who was called Petrovna by the colonel, turned her eyes from the colonel to me. After only a moment, she said with a smile, "it's Rita! Don't be stunned, please come in quickly Then she pushed the door wider so that I could enter the box smoothly.

Seeing me enter the room, the Colonel raised his hand again to salute Petrovna and said in a friendly way, "have a nice trip!"

"Comrade Petrovna," I stood in the middle of the box, looking at Petrovna, who had just closed the door, and asked vaguely, "did you know me before?"

"No, Rita, I've never seen you before today." He shook his head and said with a smile, "but I've heard my husband mention you more than once."

"Your husband mentioned me?" Although she used the easy-going "you" to address me, I still used the honorific "you" for this woman who is older than me and has a very special identity. I heard him say that, thinking quickly in my mind. The colonel who brought me was respectful to her. She appeared on Zhukov's special train again. Is she Zhukov's wife? Thinking of this, I tentatively asked: "excuse me, are you Marshal Zhukov's wife?"

"Marshal Zhukov's wife?" Petrovna could not help chuckling at what I said and asked, "Rita, did someone tell you that?"

"No, No." From her words, I immediately realized that I was wrong in judgment, and quickly explained, "I guess. You are a civilian. Not everyone can get on Zhukov's special train."

"My name is eunia Petrovna rokosovskaya," said Petrovna, with an irresistible smile on her face. She reached out to me and said friendly, "let's meet. My husband's name is Constantine konstantinovic rokosovsky."

It turned out to be rokosovsky's wife. After I found out the identity of the other party, I quickly reached out and took her outstretched hand. As I shook it vigorously, I said excitedly: "Hello, Petrovna, my name is Rita mushdakova oshanina. Nice to meet you

After we sat down on the edge of our beds, I asked curiously, "dear Petrovna, are you going to visit general rokosovsky?"

"Yes." After answering my question, Petrovna said to me in a kind voice, "Rita, don't be so restrained. Although we meet for the first time today, koschka always mentions that you are not a stranger to me. On the contrary, you seem to be an old friend who has known for many years. You can call me eunia, or you can call me "you."

The affinity of eunia made me feel good for her instinctively. After a short pause, I asked tentatively, "eunia, how long has it been since you saw the general?"

After thinking about it, she replied, "it's been almost half a month. I've been with my daughter in the military hospital in Moscow."

"ADA has been transferred to the military hospital in Moscow?" If eunia didn't mention it, I would have forgotten about ADA's injury. Now that I heard her mention it, I naturally have to care about the same thing: "how is her injury, won't it leave any sequelae?"

When she heard me say that, her face could not help showing a surprised expression: "how, do you know the news about ADA's injury? Did koschka tell you that? "

In order not to let her misunderstand me, I quickly shook my head and explained, "general rokosovsky didn't tell me. But the day I was transferred to the Ukrainian front army, I met ADA's injury. I followed Marshal Zhukov to the hospital to visit her. "

"So it is." Eunia's face showed a relieved expression, and then, without waiting for me to ask again, she said to herself, "after the war broke out, I was evacuated to the rear with my daughter. Because I was too busy with my work and didn't take good care of my children, she went to join the army secretly without my knowledge.

Some time ago, comrade Stalin sent people to the rear to find me and said that he would send me to the front line to reunite with koschka. I thought that if I went to the front line, I would have a chance to see my daughter, so I readily agreed. I didn't expect to get the news of my daughter's injury just after we met again, so I rushed to Zhitomir.

Originally, I thought koschica was the garrison commander of Zhitomir before the war. Our family also lived here for a few years and let our children recover there. But one day when Khrushchev came to see a doctor, he said that the medical environment here could not be compared with Moscow. For the sake of ADA's health, the child should be transferred to a place with better medical conditions immediately. After discussing with koschka, I agreed to his proposal and transferred ADA to the military hospital in Moscow.

After a period of treatment, ADA's injury has basically recovered, so I don't need to stay with her to take care of her. It happened that Marshal Zhukov was going to zlobin, so I hitchhiked to Belarus to see koschka. "

I know very well in my heart that someone reported rokosovsky in front of Stalin, saying that he had problems with his private life and had an affair with the wife of a famous writer, cherova. Although Stalin reprimanded the informer, he sent someone to the rear to look for eunia and sent her to the front line to reunite with rokosovsky.

According to my observation, eunia is a very smart woman, but she pretends not to know about rokosovsky's romance. Since the clients don't care, it's hard for an outsider like me to say anything more, so I'll focus on their daughter: "eunia, even if ADA's injury is good, she won't be able to return to the army. I don't know what she plans to do."

"Yes, Rita, you're right." Eunia sighed softly and said to me, "even Comrade Stalin knows about ADA's injury. He personally inquired about it and said that ADA can't go back to the army after she is discharged. Instead, she will stay in Moscow to work. The specific work is up to her own choice."

Thinking of the scene that the whole headquarters of the front army was in disorder after ADA was injured, I thought Stalin's decision was completely correct, and then asked, "what does ADA mean?"

Eunia thought about it, and then said, "I want her to work in the district Soviet, but she wants to be a teacher at school."

Since Stalin spoke in person, even if ADA was just an ordinary staff member in the Soviet Area, the person in charge did not dare to yell at her. But since ADA chose to be a teacher, I believe her future will be bright. So I comforted eunia: "ADA is not a child, I believe she made such a consideration, also after careful consideration."

"Well, you're right. Before I left, I told her that I would respect her choice. " When eunia said this, she looked out of the car window and suddenly whispered, "spring is coming!"

"Spring is coming?" Eunia's mindless words confused me. But when I also looked out of the window, I realized why she had such a reaction. In Russia, may is the beginning of spring, and urban residents will flock to their villas in the suburbs to plant potatoes, corn, cabbage, carrots and other vegetables in the open space, and then wait for the harvest in autumn; And the farmers of the collective farm will also start sowing for a year. At the moment, we see such a busy scene outside the window.

In the following time, we didn't talk about rokosovsky or ADA, but what we would get in the autumn in these areas which are far away from the war. Eunia finally said with emotion, "Rita, if this year is a big harvest, will the rationing system be cancelled in autumn?"

Her words remind me of those seniors who came to the whole country after the collapse of the Soviet Union. They said that they had to wait in long lines to buy things in the food store, and they could only buy one bread and two eggs at a time. Want to buy more? Yes, you need to queue up again.

I think that decades later, the Soviet Union's material supply is so tight, let alone the period when the patriotic war is not over. However, without affecting eunia's mood, I still agreed with her wholeheartedly: "I will wait until the war is over, and this damned rationing system will be completely abolished."

The special train we took walked on the road for almost a day and a night, and finally got close to zhiluobin. After this time together, eunia and I have become good friends.

When the Colonel came to knock on the box door, he politely said to me, "general o'shanina, we'll be in Zhebin in half an hour. Marshal, please come over."

When I came to Zhukov's office car and saw that the desk in front of him was full of all kinds of documents, I knew that he had been busy with his work all this time.

Zhukov noticed my arrival and asked with a smile, "Rita, are you still happy with Petrovna?"

For Zhukov's question, I quickly nodded and said in a positive tone, "yes, marshal, eunia is a very easy person to get along with. I can talk to her very well."

Zhukov waved to me and let me come to him. He raised his hand and patted the papers on the desk and said to me, "Rita, I haven't asked you to come here because you don't have the right to know the documents I have to deal with, so I'll let you stay with Petrovna for a while and have a chat with her, so that she won't feel too bored in the car."

"I understand, comrade marshal." I know very well in my heart that since Stalin announced that he had relieved me of the post of Acting Deputy Commander of the first front army of Ukraine, many war reports that could have been read casually have become military secrets that I am not qualified to consult. I respectfully asked Zhukov, "I don't know how I can cooperate with you when I get to zlobin."

Zhukov frowned and thought for a moment, then replied, "when we get to zlobin, we should first understand the current situation of the first front army of Belarus, and then work out a summer offensive plan according to a series of results they have achieved in their exploratory attack. Your job is to watch and listen more. When I don't ask you, it's better to keep silent. Do you understand? " I can hear Zhukov's meaning. He wants me to learn more from him, so that I can apply what I have learned when I am responsible for one direction alone in the future“ It should be a place of great significance to you, zhlobin Zhukov suddenly said, "if you didn't lead the sixth group army of the guards to arrive in time, the city that our army officers and men won at great sacrifice would fall into the hands of the German army again." After leaving Belarus, I recalled my first battle in Belarus many times and found that my luck was very good. Although there are as many as ten German divisions carrying out the counter offensive, these units have suffered heavy losses in the long-term battle, not only because of their incomplete organizational structure, but also because of their serious shortage of ammunition. Therefore, our troops can quickly turn from defense to attack after they arrive at zlobin, smash the German counterattack in the shortest time, and advance the front line to moziri kalinkovich. When I heard Zhukov praising me, I couldn't be too modest, but I'm not used to it. Therefore, I could only digress from the topic and say, "Comrade marshal, speaking of zlobin, I suddenly think of general Petrov who died. The result of the 63rd infantry army under his command in zhelobin is our first victory in the Great Patriotic War. " When I mentioned the sacrifice of Petrov, Zhukov couldn't help feeling dejected. He sighed and said with regret, "Rita, you're right. General Petrov is a great commander. In order to save his life, marshal Timoshenko, commander of the Western Front Army, and I promoted him to commander of the 21st army, and even sent a liaison officer with orders to fly to the besieged area to rescue him. Who knows that he refused our good intentions and died when he led the troops to break through the encirclement. " Just when Zhukov was sad, the special train slowed down, and the Colonel came in from the outside and reported to Zhukov: "marshal, the train has come in. Our soldiers see general rokosovsky on the platform." After listening to the Colonel's report, Zhukov turned and looked out the window. At this moment, our train slowly stopped, a team of armed soldiers trotting appeared on the platform. With a command, they stopped and lined up, with their backs to the train. I saw a large group of soldiers coming along the platform towards where we were. I saw clearly that rokosovsky was walking in the front, and behind him was malining, chief of staff. I quickly approached Zhukov and said in a low voice, "marshal, general rokosovsky has come to meet you in person." Zhukov stood up, pulled the hem of his uniform, put the hat on his head, and said to me, "come on, Rita, let's go and say hello to rokosovsky." After a few steps towards the door, he stopped again and told the Colonel standing by the door, "Colonel, go and inform Petrovna that rokosovsky is still waiting for her."
