Chapter 1545

Stalin went to the conference table and sat down in his usual position, while Zhukov and vasilevsky sat down on his right side in turn. He raised his left hand, patted the empty seat beside him, and said to me with a smile, "Rita, you can sit here."

I turned around and looked at Antonov, who had not yet sat down. My heart said that the person sitting next to Stalin should be the deputy chief of general staff. But Antonov saw that I was looking at him, but he made a gesture of invitation as usual, indicating that I would sit first.

After Antonov sat down in the vacant seat on my left, the door was opened silently. Five young waitresses came in from the open door with plates. They neatly placed the plates, napkins and forks in front of us.

I could see clearly that on the plate in front of me was Georgia's mixed fried rice covered with shredded cucumber, radish and cabbage, and a vegetable salad mixed with mayonnaise and tomato sauce. Maybe it's because I'm worried that the weight is not enough. On the napkin beside the plate, there are several pieces of cut black bread.

As soon as the five waitresses left, they walked into a waitress with a tray. Her tray was no longer filled with food, but a tall white crystal bottle with a thin neck, filled with transparent liquid. The waiter gently put the crystal bottle in Stalin's hand, and then put the five cups in the tray in front of the five of us.

"I think everyone is hungry. Let's start eating now." Stalin and other waitresses left, first picked up the knife and fork on the table, said to us: "I wish you a good appetite!"

Zhukov heard Stalin say so, they also picked up the knife and fork on the table, before they began to eat, they all looked at Stalin and said: "I wish you a good appetite!" With that, the three talents began to eat fried rice in front of them.

I also like to Stalin said: "I wish you a good appetite!" Just buried his head to eat.

Since this fried rice is Georgia fried rice, it naturally has the characteristics of Georgia food, with sour, sweet and spicy flavors. Acid is the material for vegetable salad, which is soaked in brine, similar to Sichuan pickles; Sweet is the taste of mayonnaise; It's spicy because there are onions in the ketchup.

I remember before crossing, I like to eat this kind of Georgia's mixed fried rice. I have to go to the restaurant every three to five to have a plate. I tried to taste it. I think the fried rice made by the imperial chefs in the Kremlin can at least throw off those chefs in the market for ten blocks.

When I was eating, I saw from the corner of my eye that Stalin put down his knife and fork, picked up the crystal bottle, opened the lid and poured most of it into his glass. Then he filled the cups in front of Zhukov and vasilevsky. I thought Zhukov would take the initiative to take the crystal bottle and fill their own glasses. I didn't expect that they would all sit in their seats and wait for Stalin to fill their glasses with a polite thanks.

"Would you like some, Rita?" After filling Zhukov with them, Stalin asked me again, holding up the crystal bottle.

I don't dare like Zhukov. They sit in their original position and don't move. They quickly stand up, put their hands and refuse to say, "sorry, comrade Stalin, I don't drink."

Stalin chuckled and poured the liquid in the crystal bottle into my cup in front of me. As he continued to pour into Antonov's glass, Antonov, like me, stood up from his seat and expressed his thanks to Stalin.

I remember that the Georgians were extremely hospitable at the table and formed a unique table culture. When friends get together for dinner or dinner, they are all presided over by "wine commander", which is called "tamada" in geyu“ "Wine commander" is usually performed by older or senior men who are good at wine. The main theme of toast is to wish friendship, peace, motherland, ancestors, future generations, friendship, health, women and success. There are more than 30 toasts. Guests who wish to toast at the same table must first obtain the approval of the "wine commander", and the toast should not be repeated with the previous or other people. When a woman is respected, she does not need to stand up or drink.

Among us, Stalin is the only one who is most suitable to be the "wine commander". Seeing that he raised the cup, Zhukov and others raised the cup one after another. In this case, even if there is a tradition that women can not drink, even if no matter how I can not drink, I can only lift the glass in a manner.

Only Stalin said aloud, "may we win!" With that, he took the cup to his mouth and drank it.

Zhukov and they also said: "I wish you victory!" I also drank it.

At the moment, I can't ride a tiger. I can only learn from them and say it aloud. Then I put the cup close to my mouth and pour it into my mouth with my eyes closed. As soon as I entered the liquid, I was surprised to find that there was no pungent wine at all, but it was the same as boiled water. I thought I had a delusion. After a pause, I took another sip of the liquid in the glass and found that Stalin didn't pour US vodka at all, but boiled water.

Seeing my surprised face, Stalin winked at me and asked cunningly, "how's it going, Rita? Are you used to the taste?"

When I heard Stalin's question, I immediately answered like a chicken pecking rice: "I'm used to drinking, I'm used to drinking!" Stalin gave me a faint smile and then asked me, "Rita, do you think our campaign in Belarus can achieve the desired results?"“ Comrade Stalin, "I put down my fork, wiped my mouth with a napkin, stood up and answered," I don't think the enemy would think that our next attack direction would be Belarus. I believe this campaign will surely achieve great results. However, in order to be on the safe side, we should still adopt some deceptive tactics before the campaign, because the German army misjudged our direction of action. "“ Tell me what you think. " Stalin asked curiously“ Comrade Stalin, when I was the commander of the sixth group army of the guards, I spent some time in Belarus, and I knew something about the terrain here. There are a lot of swamps, forests and lakes here, which is not conducive to our army's large-scale use of tank troops. Therefore, I suggest that only a small number of tank troops should be used to cooperate with the attack. " I said with confidence, "but leave the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th tank group army of the right wing of the first front army of Ukraine in place and do not allow them to move out for the time being. In this way, we will be able to confuse the enemy who knows the position of our tank army. As long as they see no signs of movement of these tank troops, they will think that our main attack direction is not in Belarus, but in Ukraine. " After listening to me, Stalin asked unexpectedly, "Rita, did you ever meet Zhukov before you came to me?" I took a look at Zhukov, who was sitting opposite me. Then I shook my head and answered blankly, "no, comrade Stalin. Since I arrived in Moscow, I have only seen two chief of general staff." Stalin looked at me and asked curiously, "have they ever told you about the meeting of the commander of the front army?"“ No I answered decisively“ Since you have not met Zhukov, and have not heard the contents of the meeting mentioned by the two chief of general staff. " Stalin, holding his pipe on the table in his mouth again, asked curiously, "how can you say exactly the same thing that Comrade Zhukov said at the meeting?"“ Ah, what I just said is the same as what Marshal Zhukov said? " Naturally, it is impossible for me to tell Stalin that what I just said was what I saw in later movies. Instead, I pretended to be surprised and said, "did the marshal make the same judgment as me?" Zhukov did not speak, just nodded with a smile, indicating that he recognized what I said“ Tell me about it, Rita Stalin asked curiously, "how can you have such an idea?" I thought about it, and then said vaguely, "actually, I thought about it when I saw the deceptive tactics of the Allies against the Germans. Since the allies can use false intelligence to make the German army put heavy troops in the wrong position, we can also use the same method to make the enemy confused about our real main attack direction. "“ You have a point, Rita Stalin was very similar to me. He said with approval, "we can do what the allies can do, and we should do better than them." After smoking a cigarette, he continued: "after you return to Ukraine this time, you should cooperate with konev and make some big noise in Ukraine, so that the enemy will think that our main attack direction is in Ukraine, so that they will send troops to Belarus."“ I see, comrade Stalin. " As for Stalin's suggestion, I said with deep understanding: "at the beginning, our actions in Ukraine may only be to attract the attention of the Germans, but when the battle of Belarus starts, maybe we will turn from the present defense to the attack." When I was about to ask Stalin when he was going to send me back to Ukraine, he said, "you just arrived in Moscow today. Take a rest for a few days. It's not too late to return to Ukraine after the Allied landing in Normandy." As soon as he had finished speaking, the door was pushed open again, and bosklebshev walked quickly into the room, came to Stalin, bent down and whispered something in his ear. I was close to Stalin, and the room was very quiet, so I could clearly hear Persian klebshev say: "Comrade Stalin, according to the latest situation, the Allied forces are going well on Utah Beach, they have occupied the coastal road, and they have successfully joined up with the airborne troops that parachuted behind the enemy..."
