Chapter 1547

If I return to Ukraine by train this time, maybe I will stop in Kiev to visit Khrushchev, the future leader. But now Stalin personally arranged the plane to send me back to the headquarters of the front army. I can't order the pilot to change the course and land in Kiev, can I? So I flew directly back to the front command in Rovno and handed Stalin's warrant to konev. After reading Stalin's warrant, konev handed it to sokolovsky, chief of staff, frowned and said, "Comrade chief of staff, you see, the Supreme Commander himself has advanced the attack time by one month. Can we finish the rest of the troops and the supply of materials before the battle starts?" Sokolovsky quickly scanned the order and replied with a sad face: "Comrade marshal, it's very difficult. In a week's time, our army's attack in the Belarusian region will begin, so the superior will give priority to the supply of soldiers and materials. " Hearing sokolovsky's reply, konev walked back and forth in the room. After several laps, he stopped, looked at me and asked, "Rita, you just came back from Moscow. You should know something about it. Why did Comrade Stalin suddenly ask us to advance the attack time? " I hesitated for a moment, thinking that Stalin didn't say hello to himself or mention the allied army to others, the lieutenant shook his head and replied awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I don't know." Seeing that the staff officer didn't know ah Funing's intention, I didn't embarrass him, so I asked casually, "where is he?"“ At the gate of the headquarters. " The staff officer explained to me, "as he does not have a special pass, he cannot enter the headquarters of the front army."“ Comrade marshal, is there anything else for me? " I turned to konev first. After learning that I was free to arrange my own time, I told the staff, "Comrade lieutenant, please bring general afuning to my office." My office is next to konev's office. It's not big, only a dozen square meters. There is only a desk and a few chairs in the room. As soon as I sat down behind my desk, afuning walked into my office with a big stride. After raising his hand and saluting, he said in a loud voice, "report to you, comrade deputy commander of the front army, major general afuning, commander of the 18th army of the guards..." before he finished, I raised my hand to interrupt him and asked curiously, "Comrade General, What are you doing when you run to Rovno instead of training troops in shepetovka? "“ Well, Comrade General. " Afuning stepped forward and said to me solemnly, "I have been ordered to bring the tank battalion commander of the new division to see you."“ On orders? " After hearing this word, I asked curiously, "I want to know, whose order are you on?"
