Chapter 31 Surprise and good news
"Don't suck my hair." Gilnilova sat on the bed and said in Chinese with a smile.
"Ah?" Chu Sinan didn't understand for a moment. After thinking for a while, he realized what his wife was saying. "Don't swear." To this point, Chinese people really don't understand, and foreigners don't understand.
"When did you learn this?" Chu Sinan asked curiously.
"It's so good, I hate it?" Gilnilova said again proudly, but it was still so inappropriate.
"Hate the authentic, hate the authentic," Chu Sinan laughed.
"When did you start learning?" After laughing, Chu Sinan walked back to the bed, hugged Gilnilova in his arms, and asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly remember to learn this?"
"I've been studying for more than two months," Gilnilova replied. "It's hard to learn, but, well, I still have to learn. In the future, you scold me in Chinese, and I thought you were praising me."
"Well, if you really want to learn, I can introduce you some good books." Chu Sinan said seriously.
"Oh, let's hear it." Gilnilova asked curiously.
"Have you heard of "The Escaped Bunny"? It was co-authored by Magritte and Clement not long ago. I saw in the newspaper the day before yesterday that there was a Chinese translation. You can buy it and take a look." Chu Sinan laughed.
"I'll kill you!" Gilnilova was very annoyed. She screamed strangely and reached out to pinch Chu Sinan's neck.
Any Western reading material that wants to enter the Soviet Union needs to be reviewed by the Security Commission. Although the Third General Administration is responsible for this matter. However, with Gilnilova's personality, she will make a splash as long as it is a committee matter. She has also heard of this new American reading material, because it has basically not been reviewed, and it was approved by the Third General Administration of the Third General Administration. For nothing else, because the content of this book is too simple, it is a special reading material for infants and young children over two years old, and it is actually a pictorial.
"Okay, okay. Stop making trouble, stop making trouble." After hanging with his wife for a while, Chu Sinan brought back the topic. He stroked Gilnilova's belly and asked, "How long has it been, and when will it be confirmed?"
"It's almost two months," Gilnilova looked a little radiant at this time. Her expression seemed to make people feel kind. If those who fear her saw it, they wouldn't know how many glasses would be broken. "It was confirmed when you were about to leave Moscow and go to Yaroslavl for inspection."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Really." Chu Sinan said with some dissatisfaction.
"I'm afraid you're distracted," Gilnilova said with a blank look. "Besides, what's the point of telling you earlier? Do you still have to prepare? It's not you who gave birth to a baby, really."
"This... can this be considered a reason?" Chu Sinan couldn't laugh or cry.
"Of course," Gilnilova said casually. Then, she seemed to suddenly remember something. She squeezed into Chu Sinan's arms and said with hope. "Hey, how should we celebrate the day when the child is born?"
"There is more than half a year left. What are you worried about now?" Chu Sinan said absent-mindedly. He has not yet woken up from the surprise of becoming a father.
When Chu Sinan said this, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth. He recalled the time, Tukhachevsky, Buluhell, Yakir, etc. When they were on the ground, they rushed to Fangjing yard, with their butts sticking out. They squatted on the ground in an extremely indecent manner to study the military map, and they quarreled from time to time. Now, everything seemed to be yesterday, but times changed, things changed, and things changed. Until now, except for Chu Sinan himself recalling everything that had happened in this room. Who else could remember that time?
"Oh," sighed heavily, and Chu Sinan felt a particularly vicissitudes of life for a moment.
Gilnilova would not think about those things. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly slapped her high-five and said, "Yes, isn't it just about discussing these issues? It's too simple. Now the battle in Stalingrad has begun, which is an excellent cover. I'll send you a detailed picture of the battle from two days ago, so you can take a look. Hehe, I think this should be able to bring the topic over naturally."
"This, this is too artificial, right?" Chu Sinan hesitated.
"Tsk, what is artificial? Things are done by humans. If you can keep things uncovered, how can you be artificial?" Gilnilova said disapprovingly.
"Okay, that's the decision. You can bring me the battle map later. I'll study it carefully first so that I can't say anything at the time." Chu Sinan finally agreed to Gilnilova's suggestion and nodded and said.
"Well, I'll go now," Gilnilova looked at the sky outside the window, stood up from Chu Sinan and said.
"Let's leave now?" Chu Sinan was stunned and said reluctantly, "Don't be so impatient, you can stay for a while."
"Let's not do it anymore," Gilnilova hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "Should wait a few more days. When this incident is over, I'll stay with you for a few days, but I'm afraid you won't have time again."
Chu Sinan waved his hand with a smile, signaling that his wife could leave. He also knew that under the current circumstances, Gilnilova was not suitable for staying here for more.
"Oh, right," Chu Sinan said suddenly as he watched Gilnilova walk to the door.
"What's wrong, what else?" asked Gilnilova when she turned around.
"Remember, don't drink anymore, it's not good for the child." Chu Sinan said, pointing to the vodka at the head of the bed.
"Oh?" Gilnilova curled her lips and said, "Then don't drink it anymore. Also, don't smoke anymore. I heard that you actually learned to smoke now. It's all that Meretskov. I'll settle the score with him when I have time."
Chu Sinan was shocked. His wife knew that she learned to smoke at the instigation of Meletskov. Then, wouldn’t she know Ulanova too?
Gilnilova no longer had sex in prison. She waved her hand at Chu Sinan and turned around and left.
With a light "clang", the iron door outside the cell was closed again. Chu Sinan let out a sigh of relief, turned around and crawled back to his bed, and lie in a fit. He wanted to have a good sleep now, and then talk about other things later. Since he went to Yaroslavl, he had not had a good rest for a long time. He had too many things in his heart, and even if he had free time, he couldn't rest. Now, he returned to Moscow and saw his wife, and learned that he would be a father. This made him feel a different kind of excitement while he was at ease.
"Hey, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, who will look like in the future," Chu Sinan lying on the bed with his eyes closed, thinking excitedly, "In terms of personality..."
At some point, Chu Sinan fell asleep in this random thought. When he woke up again, the light in the room seemed very dim. It was probably too late.
He got up from the bed in a daze. Chu Sinan took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon. He had been sleeping for a few hours. Rubbing his sticky eyes, Chu Sinan walked to the water pipe in the room, washed his face in the cold water, and then slowly walked to the iron fence and pushed the heavy iron door.
There was a crisp sound of "Dingdong" and the iron door shaking. However, it was not opened, and it was obviously locked very strongly.
"Hey. Is anyone? Someone is here!" Chu Sinan wiped his face and shouted loudly.
"Clang". The prison door outside was opened, and then a series of rapid footsteps came, and a guard in a uniform rushed over.
"General, are you awake?" The guard was obviously not the one in the afternoon. He handed in a thick folded paper outside the door and said humbly. "This afternoon, the director asked me to deliver this item, but I saw that you were resting at that time, so I didn't disturb you."
"Oh, thank you." Chu Sinan knew that it was the combat situation chart in the Stalingrad region that Gilnilova mentioned. He took the chart over, put it in his pocket, and nodded and said.
"This is what I should do. General." The guard stood up straight and said loudly.
"Yeah, it's very good." Chu Sinan glanced at the other party and said, "Is there anything to eat? I'm a little hungry."
"The general wants to eat something, I'll ask someone to prepare immediately." The guard said immediately. From his tone, it seemed that this guy was still a small leader in the prison.
"Whatever you want, just have some bread or something," Chu Sinan thought for a while and said, "Well, it's better to have a sour fish soup, just do the rest."
"Okay, General, please wait a moment, I'll do it for you immediately." The guard said, then saluted Chu Sinan and turned around and ran outward.
"Let the lights open for me, it's too dark here." Chu Sinan shouted as he looked at the guard's back.
"Yes," the guard agreed from a distance.
"Oh," he reached out and knocked on the cold iron fence. Chu Sinan sighed, turned around and walked back to the edge of the bed, took out the battle situation chart from his pocket, spread it carefully, and then spread it on the bed.
"Click"
The lights in the room were turned on on time, illuminating everything. For Chu Sinan, who was still in the darkness just now, the light was a bit dazzling.
After adapting for a while, Chu Sinan focused his energy on the combat situation chart in front of him. He could only glance at him quickly, and he couldn't help frowning.
The combat situation chart provided by Gilnilova to him was drawn by No. 18, which means that it also reflects the situation of the two sides fighting on No. 18.
From this picture, Chu Sinan was surprised to find two newly numbered cluster troops of the German army  ̄ ̄ "a" army group and "b" army group. He looked through the notes on the corner of the picture and found that the commander of the German army "a" army group was actually Manstein, known as one of the three major war gods of the German army, and the commander of the "b" army group was Weix, who was rumored to believe in Catholicism.
In Chu Sinan's memory, Hitler divided the Southern Army Group into two armies in World War II, "a" and "b" in June this year, and his purpose was to carry out a powerful offensive against the Caucasus and the Volga region. But now it seems that Hitler's plan is obviously ahead of schedule.
From this perspective, if Hitler's purpose of reorganizing the combat sequence was still to attack the Caucasus and Volga River areas, then the "A" army group gathered along the Azov coast and commanded by Manstein should advance southward until the Caucasus Mountains and seize the two important roads of the Sancharo Pass and Klukhorsky Pass that were heavily defended by the Soviet army to ensure the southward advance of its mechanized troops. In Stalingrad and its remote suburbs, it is mainly the battlefield of Weix's "B" army group. In the direction of the attack against Weix, what the Soviet army must defend should be an important strategic area in the Don River bend and even the entire lower reaches of the Volga River. These areas are crucial for Stalingrad's peripheral defense.
However, in the early battles, the Soviet army obviously paid too much attention to defense. This absolute passive defense led to the loss of a series of strategic areas. In the offensive direction of the German "A" army group, the Soviet army lost the entire defensive front in the Don River Basin in less than ten days. By the 18th, Manstein's vanguard had captured Bjoennovsk and Pyatygorsk on the south bank of the Kuma River, and directly sent the troops to the northern foot of the Caucasus Mountains. The 44th Army of the Caucasus Front, the ninth
The army was pressed tightly by the German vanguard on the narrow area from Mozdok to the Delek Lake, and there was a danger of being swallowed at any time. The four armies, including the 47th, 18th, 56th, and 46th, have been compressed into a narrow area along the Black Sea coast. To be honest, they had no way to go except jumping into the sea and surrendering. In short, in the Caucasus region, except for the 37th Army, which is still safe, all other troops are on the verge of danger.
Chu Sinan knew that Manstein was a very powerful general. He was the best of all German generals in both strategies and tactics and the use of mechanized troops. Once his troops broke through the two passes of the Caucasus Mountains, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan in the Transcaucasus will fall one after another in a very short time. After that, the Soviet Union will lose an important channel to receive aid.  ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ and Türkiye channels.
