Chapter 2 Early Spring in Moscow
In early March, Moscow still can't feel the breath of spring. Whether it is the towering roof or the bare birch trees on both sides of the road, there is still white snow left.
In front of the solemn and solemn Kremlin, it seems lively today. Countless Moscow citizens gather here. From a distance, the entire Red Square is crowded with people, and it looks like there is a celebration. On the huge stone stairs near the main entrance, groups of reporters are surrounded there, looking forward to it, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
On the highest stairs, Tukhachevsky, Buliucher, Wasseylevsky, Konev and others gathered together, talking and laughing, and seemed to be in a happy mood. Aside them, there were still a few guys in suits and ties standing. Their dresses were incompatible with the many senior Soviet leaders present, making people know that they were "outsiders" at a glance. However, among these people, two were familiar to the reporters present, one was US Secretary of State Hull, and the other was British Foreign Minister Aiden. When they appeared here at this time, there must be some news about international issues to appear, so journalists from many countries gathered here, as if they wanted to get first-hand news as soon as possible.
At nearly nine-thirty, several gray-black Volga cars slowly drove up at the east entrance of Red Square. The flying sickles and small flags of iron hammers seemed to have a little momentum under the strong wind.
Seeing the slowly coming of the car, the Soviet soldiers who were originally responsible for maintaining order in the Red Square acted quickly and cleared a passage for the car to move in the shortest time.
Several cars slowly drove to the steps of the Kremlin, and the guards who were responsible walked up quickly and opened the door for the people in the car. Then, in the first car, Chu Sinan, dressed in military uniform, walked out with a smile, and followed him with Lieutenant General Popov. In the second car, those who walked out were Cui Kov, who was also wearing military uniform, and Suslov, gentle and elegant.
When the four of them walked out of the car, the Red Square was already crowded with people, especially those journalists from all over the country who had been waiting for a long time. They quickly surrounded them. If it weren't for the guards' block, the crowd would probably have trampled Chu Sinan and others to death.
Today is the day when Chu Sinan, Cui Kov and others returned to Moscow from the northern front line. Coincidentally, today is also the day when Hur and Aiden visit Su. Therefore, such a grand scene occurred on this Moscow Red Square.
"Nan!" Facing Chu Sinan, a figure appeared in front of him. However, it was Gilnilova who had been away for a long time.
"Well," Chu Sinan reached out and put his hand around Gilnilova's arm, and greeted everyone he passed by with a smile.
"Why did you come in the same car with Popov?" Gilnilova leaned over to Chu Sinan's ear, and while making a kiss, she whispered, "This will embarrass you."
Gilnilova obviously got some news. She was taking this opportunity to remind Chu Sinan.
"I have my own arrangements." Chu Sinan gave her a kiss and replied in a low voice.
The couple's intimate actions naturally attracted reporters around to take photos frequently. In the introduction of Time magazine not long ago, people knew that Chu Sinan had a gentle and virtuous Soviet wife, and his wife seemed to hold a very important position in the Soviet government. However, no one knew what the specific position was, and the Soviet senior officials had hidden the identity of this woman very closely.
"Then be careful and don't be rash." Gilnilova added carefully, then took a step back consciously and stood behind Chu Sinan.
"Chu, you couple are really loving," Cui Kefu, who was originally behind Chu Sinan, took this opportunity to take a few steps forward, walked to the position side by side with Chu Sinan, and said with a smile, "To be honest, it's very enviable."
"Vasily, don't make fun of me," Chu Sinan turned around and shrugged and said to Cui Kefu.
"I'm not making fun of you," Cui Kefu reached out to pat Chu Sinan's shoulder, and then said meaningfully, "I really envy you, and I admire you very much. I am confident that I may not dare to do some of the things you did."
Cui Kefu said, glanced at Popov who was walking at the back of the corner of his eyes. What exactly was the meaning of his words was obvious.
Chu Sinan naturally understood the hidden meaning. He smiled as if nothing had happened and said, "You are too much. We are all friends, and we are comrades who have fought side by side on the battlefield on the Northern Front. I haven't had time to thank you yet. If you hadn't supported us at a critical moment, our lives would have been difficult."
Cui Kefu heard another meaning from Chu Sinan's words. He made a very important statement of "comrades-in-arms who fought side by side". The purpose should be to point out one thing: Popov and Chu Sinan have this kind of relationship, so he had to risk offending people and protect his comrade-in-arms.
From this aspect alone, Cui Koff felt that he should admire the young man in front of him, although from a political perspective, the two were not in the same camp, and they were even against each other.
If it weren't for that damn political struggle, Cui Kefu felt that he might be friends with the yellow-skinned young man in front of him, and he was also a kind of close friend who could say everything and say. Just like when he was commanding the battle on the Northern Front before, the young man's thinking was so similar to his own. In many aspects, Chu Sinan, as a military committee member, knew how to arrange it. To be honest, Cui Kefu still believes that it is really a pleasant thing to partner with a military committee member like Chu Sinan. He hopes that he can still have the opportunity to go to the battlefield with this young man in the future and command the battle together.
"Chu," Cui Kefu shook Chu Sinan's hand vigorously, and then sighed, "To be honest, I miss the days when you served as a military commissioner in the Northern Front Army. I sincerely hope that there will be such an opportunity in the future."
Chu Sinan understood that Cui Kefu was kindly reminding himself that he should be cautious in Popov's matter, and it is still too late to regret it now. Otherwise, if he offended some people because of this, he would probably not have any good life in the future.
"Okay," Chu Sinan smiled as if nothing had happened, and then said, "I hope there will be such a chance, but I want to put ugly words in front of it. I am very reckless and emotional in doing things. Don't be afraid that I will touch you at that time."
Chu Sinan's words made Cui Kuff almost feel ashamed, "It's very emotional?" He said that Cui Kuff was timid and afraid of things, so he could do it? Chinese people are really cunning, and they are all slandering, without any trace.
