Chapter 7 Two sidearms

"call!"

Let the warm and cool water spray down from his head, Chu Sinan closed his eyes tightly and raised his head to exhale a deep breath of turbid air.

This is the room where Chu Sinan lives in Mayflower Hotel. After a night of plenty of sleep, Chu Sinan got up and took a shower happily. Unlike others, Chu Sinan likes to take a shower after getting up in the morning. He feels this feeling very comfortable, just like he uses a new look to greet the sun every day.

After taking a step back, Chu Sinan first used his hands to combed his hair covered with water, then turned off the water valve in front of him, and the clear water that had been sprayed out of the red lotus pod stopped.

Chu Sinan shook his head and looked at the bathroom in front of him, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart for a moment. How big is the difference between this thing and the world? In the distant China, it is still in the midst of the hardships of war. The people cannot even enjoy a peaceful life, not to mention using this automated bathing equipment. The world's economists analyzed after the war that China's economy and even the entire society are a century away from the West, but they don't know these guys

Before analyzing, have you ever thought about how China's backwardness came about? From the Opium War in 1840, until the founding of New China in 1949, to the subsequent Korean War, Vietnam War, and the war surrounding China have never stopped. War is the most effective lag agent for a country's economic development. After experiencing a hundred years of war, if there is no considerable development period, how can China's social development be compared with the West?

With a self-deprecating smile, Chu Sinan felt that she was indeed different from when she had not arrived in this era. Now she has learned to worry about the country and the people and to talk big.

But then again, how could he be compared with Chu Sinan, who was the soldier at the time? Now he is a general of the Soviet Union. His identity and status are very different from those at the time. In this case, many issues that he should not consider were originally not what he should have considered, but now he has to consider them.

I casually walked a white blanket on the bathroom rack, wrapped it around my body, then opened the glass door of the bathroom and walked out.

The hotel arranges the floor room for Chu Sinan, which is definitely the same as the presidential suite. It is spacious, luxurious and elegant. There are many decorations such as nominations from celebrities on the walls around the living room. It seems that the United States is still very proud of its appearance.

Sitting down in front of the soft leather sofa, Chu Sinan picked up the cigar box placed on the table and took out one from it to lit it for himself. This was the first time that he had smoked such high-end things. He seemed very uncomfortable, and his red face and uncontrollable severe cough were enough to show this.

Chu Sinan just took a sip and threw it aside. He found that such a high-end thing was still unlucky to endure it.

"whisper……"

At this moment, the electric bell in the room rang, and Chu Sinan knew that someone was coming.

Standing up from the sofa, Chu Sinan quickly walked to the door and looked out through the cat's eyes on the door. Outside the door, Eisenhower was standing there in a dark blue military uniform, and beside him, a young and beautiful blonde girl was followed. This was the translation of Eisenhower.

Chu Sinan was a little surprised. He didn't know what Eisenhower came to him so early. When he was about to reach out to pull the door, Chu Sinan suddenly remembered that he only wore a bath towel on his body. In this case, it was obviously very rude to receive guests.

"General Ike? Please wait." Chu Sinan said a little apologetically through the door. Then, without waiting for Eisenhower's reply, he hurried back to the bedroom and found a brand new military uniform to put on it.

"Good morning, General." When Chu Sinan asked him to enter the door, Eisenhower shook hands with him first, then glanced at his wet head, and then said, "I'm sorry for disturbing you so early."

"General, don't mind," Chu Sinan asked the other party to sit in front of the sofa, and then smiled, "I've gotten up long ago and took a shower just now. Haha, others like to bathe in the sun in the early morning, but I like this real bathing."

Eisenhower smiled knowingly, and then said embarrassingly: "General, I actually have some private matters to trouble you this time. Oh, of course, I will also tell you the final resolution of Congress yesterday."

"Oh?" Although Chu Sinan was very concerned about the resolution of the Congress, he wanted to know more about the private matters Eisenhower said.

"Let's talk about the serious matter first," Eisenhower said in a hurry. "The result of Congress came out last night. The resolution proposed by the President was absolutely passed. Except for twelve votes against and nine abstentions, all the other members of the parliament voted in favor. General, I have to say that this is our complete victory. You must know that since the establishment of Congress, there have been few times so unanimous in the agreed projects of Congress in the past hundred years. This morning, I believe that major newspapers and magazines across the United States will forward this news, so that the whole world knows that our anti-fascist alliance has been truly established, and thus the final battle against the fascist countries will officially begin."

"General, I would like to express my sincere welcome to your country's correct decision on behalf of myself." Chu Sinan said happily.

Yes, no matter how dull Tukhachevsky's attitude seemed, if he could get another aid from the United States, especially the 3 billion US dollars of food aid, it would be possible to solve a big problem for the Soviet Union. To be honest, since the establishment of the military base in the rear, the Soviet Union's demand for weapons and equipment has been not so nervous, and what really made the Soviet senior management feel a headache was a food problem. Just like the weapons and equipment provided by the US military the previous time, especially

Those tanks were not popular for Soviet soldiers, so by March this year, almost all American tanks were eliminated, most of which were dismantled and used as a transport tool for Katyusha rocket launcher. What about food? The food problem has never been solved. The huge military-industrial enterprises in the rear could only consume food, but could not produce food. Therefore, the 3 billion US dollars of food aid provided by the Americans this time is definitely a real timely help.

"General, it seems that we will really have the opportunity to fight side by side in the future," Eisenhower said with his hands waving, "Do you know. Yesterday, the President gave me a new order, that is, in these two days, immediately set out to form the Seventh Army, and go to North Africa two months later to fight the German troops entrenched there. The President meant that the war in North Africa must end before the end of the year, and then next spring, we will join the British and French coalition forces stranded in Britain and jointly implement the landing plan for Western Europe."

"Oh?!" Chu Sinan was intrigued for a moment. He said with a smile, "So, when we advance into Berlin in the future, we will become competitors?"

"So that's it." Eisenhower nodded and smiled.

"Then we might as well have a game to see whose troops can enter Berlin first," Chu Sinan said.

"Then we're determined." Eisenhower said cheerfully, "I'm confident that I can enter Berlin first before the general."

"Oh?" Chu Sinan laughed. He leaned over Eisenhower and asked curiously, "Why is the general so confident?"

"General, don't forget. There is another Japan to deal with in the east of your country." Eisenhower smiled. "If you have the chance, I don't believe that the general will give up the opportunity to command the battle against Japan in person. After all, as far as I know, the Chinese are very revenge, and the general is exactly a Chinese."

"Hahaha..." Chu Sinan laughed heartily, "I didn't expect that the general really knew about the Chinese, but this was not called revenge, but straightforwardness. In our Chinese words, I hope the general can remember that it is 'If you have grudges but not blood, it is not a gentleman, but a villain who has grudges but no kindness is a villain. The general said it well. If you fight against Japan, I will definitely be the first to ask for battle, but this does not mean that I will miss the opportunity to enter Berlin. I hope the general will not be careless and lose in my hands in the end."

"The General can rest assured about this," Eisenhower said. "It is never a mistake that Ike would try."

"Well," Chu Sinan and Eisenhower looked at each other, and both of them could feel a strong sense of confidence in each other's eyes.

"Since we are all so confident, you might as well add some bets in it." Eisenhower thought briefly, then smiled.

"Oh, General Ike, I have no objection to add some bets," Chu Sinan replied, "but I am relatively poor and there is nothing to bet on the general."

"It's just a symbolic bet. The general only needs to take out one or two things with him." Eisenhower smiled.

Chu Sinan suddenly realized that Eisenhower's thoughts on his feelings were not really on the bet. He just proposed to exchange gifts with him in another way. There is such a habit in diplomacy that visitors and receptionists should give each other gifts. This gift can be light or heavy, and it is a monumental thing. Generally speaking, such things should be proposed by the visitor first, but Chu Sinan has no experience, so he forgot about this matter. Now Eisenhower proposed it to cover up Chu Sinan's rudeness.

After understanding the mystery, Chu Sinan felt very embarrassed. This time he came to the United States, he was cautious everywhere, fearing that he would not notice somewhere and make a joke. Unexpectedly, there were still mistakes now. Fortunately, Eisenhower is a good person. He didn't say anything behind his back, but used this implicit method to remind himself. Chu Sinan was still very grateful for this.

"Let's do it," Chu Sinan thought for a while, stood up from the sofa, walked back to his bedroom, took out his gun from his belt, returned to the living room, put the gun on the table, and said with a smile, "I really have nothing to do, only this gun, since the day I joined the Red Army, it has been with me. Now, I will hand it over to the general as a bet."

Eisenhower took Chu Sinan's gun and looked at it carefully. This was a very ordinary Soviet-made TT-33 pistol, but there were some modifications on the handle. That was, two symmetrical shield-shaped logos were inlaid on the dark gun body. The patterns of the logo were the same. Both a sharp sword penetrated the entire shield, and the shield was a sickle. The hammer contained six matching Russian letters among the five red stars. Eisenhower did not understand the Russian language. In his opinion, these letters were not recognized except for the "s" and two "" at the front. In his opinion, these Russian letters should be the name of Chu Sinan.

After getting the gun, Eisenhower has always used it as his collection. Later he realized that the Russian letters on this gun were not the name of Chu Sinan, but representing a well-known organization in the Soviet Union. This gun was also the special gun for the chairman of the organization, and it was also the only chairman's gun left overseas in the history of the KGB.

In the next two thousand and four years, Eisenhower's descendants took out the collection for auction, and were eventually bought by a mysterious rich man named Su for a high price of 7 million US dollars. There was no news since then.

After carefully looking at the gun in his hand for a while, Eisenhower carefully put it away, and then took out a revolver from his belt and placed it on the table, saying, "Since the general is taking your gun as a bet, I might as well follow my example. This is my gun, which has been with me since I graduated from West Point Military Academy. Now, I send it to the general as a memory."

Chu Sinan took the gun in his hand and looked carefully as Eisenhower. To be honest, the ground gun is much more beautiful than his TT-33, with silver gun body, exquisite engraving patterns, grounded golden letters, etc. In short, this gun looks like a craft.

This is a typical American general wearing a gun. It cannot be worn by Eisenhower when he left the pastry. Chu Sinan smiled secretly in his heart.

However, he will not expose such lies. After all, his gun was not worn since he joined the Soviet army, as he said. For a soldier, it is impossible to wear a gun for years or even decades, unless the soldier has no future and cannot be promoted for so many years.

"Oh, yes, the general said just now that there is another private matter. You can tell me it now, right?" Chu Sinan remembered what Eisenhower said just now, so he first put the silver gun into his arms, and then took the initiative to speak.

"Oh, that's right. This is indeed a heartless invitation for the general," Eisenhower rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly. "I have a niece who is now writing in the New York Times. This, this, the news that you came to the United States is no longer a secret, and you also know that your title of "Red God of War," has now become a household name in the United States. Now you are simply a star in us. So, this time my niece received a good job, saying that she wanted to give you an exclusive interview to the general. She has been pestering me for the past two days. I really have no choice, so..."

Chu Sinan suddenly realized that this was the case. Eisenhower came to his back door. This matter seemed to be nothing big. Just an interview, he agreed, but Chu Sinan's identity was there and he agreed to an interview with an American reporter. This would cause trouble in the top Soviet leaders and the Kremlin. Therefore, no matter what, you must first get the approval of Tukhachevsky. Otherwise, Chu Sinan felt that it would be safer to refuse directly.

"General Ike," Chu Sinan thought for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm afraid I can't agree to you directly about this matter. You should also know that I did not come here just as my personal identity when I visited your country this time, so in many ways, I have to... I have to, hey, can the general understand what I mean?"

How could Eisenhower understand? You know, this kind of thing is normal for Americans. How could a personal interview be related to a country? Not only that, Chu Sinan didn't say clearly, and the translator naturally didn't understand it. Eisenhower even more did he understand this.

"If, if so, then forget it." Although I didn't understand and felt very regretful, Eisenhower still said with understanding. Originally, this was a reluctant request. After all, not everyone in this world likes newspapers.

"No, no, general, don't misunderstand me. I didn't say no," Chu Sinan explained hurriedly, "I mean, hey, forget it, I think so. General might as well ask your niece to bring a rough interview content first. I will go back and ask Comrade Tukhachevsky to see his opinion first."

This time Eisenhower understood. He suddenly realized that his feelings were not rejected by Chu Sinan himself, but in the Soviet Union, a lieutenant general-level official could not accept interviews from reporters privately. At this time, Eisenhower felt very sorry. He realized that his request had caused Chu Sinan a big and small trouble. However, it was too late to say anything now. If he took back the request at this time, it would seem even more inappropriate.

"Since that's the case, I'll let her come over," Eisenhower finally nodded and said gratefully, "But don't make things difficult for generals. If not, forget it."

"General, don't worry too much," Chu Sinan smiled. "As long as the questions raised by your niece do not involve our country's military secrets and certain issues that need to be avoided, I think there will be no problem."

"Well, then I'll trouble the General," Eisenhower said at last, "I asked her to come in the afternoon. Oh, I almost forgot to tell the General that my niece's name is Beatrisa Patton, and that her father is my old friend."
