"Woo!"

A whistle whistle echoed through the noisy Volga River. Chu Sinan stood at the stern of a steamship and looked forward to the gradually moving Stalingrad No. 4 Pier. At this time, he was absolutely filled with emotion.

It is this city that is gradually fading away from sight. Chu Sinan has experienced a whole month and a half of hell in order to protect it. This experience is definitely unforgettable for him. Compared with the previous Northern Battle, this battle was too cruel. In that world, he once learned in history books that the German general Paulus, who directly commanded the battle, even suffered from eye muscle spasms because of the cruelty of the battle. At the beginning, he thought this was a bit funny. How could a soldier, especially a general who commanded thousands of troops?

Could it be that the eye muscles were spasms due to the cruelty of the battle? Now he has experienced this battle personally, and at the same time he also understood that there is no ridiculous element in it. In just one and a half months, his three armies were killed in this ruined city. If the recruits were temporarily recruited, it would be 150,000. If the citizens of Stalingrad died in this battle, more than 200,000 people would have disappeared forever. If the corpses were placed side by side, how large would it take?

Stalingrad, corpses everywhere. ￣￣ Real, corpses everywhere.

"Buzz!"

A formation of twelve fighter jets passed over the ship that Chu Sinan was riding, and the chirping of the motor interrupted his thoughts.

He looked up at the sky and looked at it. It was the Soviet fighter plane. Chu Sinan estimated that they should have gone to the outskirts of Stalingrad for missions. At present, it is very necessary for the Soviet army to completely cut off their air support while strengthening the encirclement of Stalingrad enemy troops.

"General, we are going to dock," a staff officer walked out of the cabin and came straight behind Chu Sinan, saying respectfully. "Do you go directly to the new command center in a while?"

"Well," Chu Sinan nodded. Then he asked, "How are the citizens stranded in the city evacuated?"

"Oh. The evacuation work is still continuing. It is expected that all of them will be evacuated by tomorrow night." The consultant replied.

"Very good," Chu Sinan turned his head and looked at a slowly moving transport ship not far from the right, and said absent-mindedly, "You must hurry up this work. If my land is probably good, the German army in the city will take action these days."

"Yes, General, I will order them to speed up." The staff officer responded.

While the two were talking, the steamer slowly approached a dock on the shore and finally stopped on the side of a wooden ferry bridge.

This crossing bridge was obviously not built for a long time, and the wooden boards were still brand new, and there were not even a few footprints on it. A few meters away from the crossing bridge, a large number of soldiers in charge of guarding were lined up in two rows to clear a spacious walkway for the arrival of Chu Sinan and others.

"General! General!"

Before he could stand firm, Chu Sinan heard someone greeting him not far away. And the voice made him feel familiar.

"Lukoonki?!" Following the direction of the sound, Chu Sinan glanced at him. The sturdy figure running towards him while shouting made him overjoyed. It was no one else, it was his wounded guard Lukoonki.

Thinking about it now, I have been separated from this guy for more than half a year. It seems that his injuries have been completely cured.

In joy, Chu Sinan accelerated his pace to meet him.

"Report to Comrade General, your guard Lukoonji is recovered from his injury and applies to return to the team!" Running to Chu Sinan, Lukoonji quickly stood up straight, saluted seriously, and said loudly.

"Hey!" Chu Sinan smiled. He reached out and punched Lukoonki's chest twice, and said, "You haven't seen each other for more than half a year. You have gained a lot of weight. Have you been corrupted by the decadent ideas of the bourgeoisie?"

"Hehe..." Lucoonki scratched the back of his head and kept giggling.

"Haha, have you been promoted to major?" Chu Sinan's eyes swept over the collar of the guard and then smiled.

"Hey, this is the promotion award that Comrade Gilnilova personally applied for for me," Lukoonki said happily. "It is not only the promotion of military rank, but also awarded me a medal, a second-level medal of honor."

"Haha, it's not bad," Chu Sinan laughed happily. He turned his body halfway and said to the combat staff behind him, "Look, is this brat about to be proud?"

Not many of these combat staff knew Lukoongi, but they knew that the strange major obviously had a different relationship with Chu Sinan, and there was obviously no such gap between superiors and subordinates between the two.

"Hey, yes," Chu Sinan seemed to remember something again. He put his arms around Lukoonki's shoulder, and then said in an ambiguous tone, "The comrade nurse who takes care of you... well, what's the name?"

"Oh, Elsa." Lucoonki showed a little embarrassed, and he replied in a low voice.

"Yes, yes, Elsa, ah, Elsa, that fierce Southern Caucasian girl," Chu Sinan said with a smile, "I heard that the relationship between you two is developing very quickly. How about you? Have you considered when to get married? Hey, you came to the Stalingrad front this time, have you brought her here? She is a nurse, and we need nurses very much now."

Lukoonki's face seemed to be getting more and more awkward, and in this embarrassment, there seemed to be some disgrace. He did not answer Chu Sinan's question, but said to him: "Oh, that, general, when I came from Moscow this time, Comrade Gilnilova asked me to bring you a letter, hehe, and said that I would hand it over to you in person."

Lukoonki said this. He took out a folded envelope from his shirt pocket and handed it to Chu Sinan.

"Oh?" Chu Sinan was stunned at first, and then frowned. He had now seen that something must have happened between his guard and the young nurse. Otherwise, he, who had always been happy, would not have such a behavior. He would think of the conversation Elsa had when he first met him. Chu Sinan guessed that there must be something wrong with the young nurse's origin. After all, the Southern Caucasus was once a place where white bandits emerged one after another.

Thinking of this, Chu Sinan temporarily put this issue aside, and he planned to have a good talk with Lukoonki later.

Holding the letter in his hand, Chu Sinan turned his body and glanced at the staff behind him. Then he waved his hand and said, "You go to the command center first. Comrade Lukoonki and I have something to talk about."

"Yes, general." Many staff responded, then bypassed Chu Sinan and walked towards the east one after another.

Watching everyone's figures go away, Chu Sinan turns around and walks to the river, then opens the envelope and takes out the letter his wife wrote to him.

The content of the letter is very simple. In the beginning, Gilnilova mainly said some longing and worried words. She said that she originally wanted to come to the front line in person this time, but due to mobility difficulties, she finally had to give up this idea. After saying the thoughtful words, Gilnilova turned the content of the letter back to the Kremlin. In the letter, she told Chu Sinan that over the past period of time, Tukhachevs's health has become worse and worse. Months ago, his heart

There was a dirty attack, and if it weren't for the timely rescue, he might have been unable to recover. Several leaders of the central government advised him to rest for a while, but he refused. According to Gilnilova's guess, Tukhachevsky planned to find his own successor when he could still hold on, and the final choice of this person was very likely to be inseparable from the Battle of Stalingrad. Gilnilova said in his letter that according to the Supreme Commander

In the arrangement of the headquarters, Cuikov will go to the Caucasus to command the Caucasus Front that is currently fighting in the area. His mission is to restrain the movements of the German Army Group A Group on this line and cooperate with the Stalingrad operations. At the same time, Zhukov's front and Meletskov's Volga Regional Front will launch a comprehensive offensive in this area. From a global perspective, these three teams, coupled with Chu Sinan's Stalingrad Front, constitute

In this case, there is a position that is very important, that is, the supreme commander of all the battles of Stalingrad. According to Gilnilova's speculation, this ongoing Battle of Stalingrad will be the turning point of the entire Soviet-German War, and the generals who are responsible for the commander-in-chief of this battle will win great merits through it, and at the same time, the possibility of becoming Tukhachevsky's successor is also the greatest.

Chu Sinan agreed with Gilnilova's statement. In the history he knew, Zhukov was appointed as the supreme deputy commander of the Soviet Union by Stalin because of this battle. Now, I believe that the deviation in history will not be too great in this regard.

At the end of the letter, Gilnilova told Chu Sinan that her date of delivery was getting closer and that if the Battle of Stalingrad ended at the end of the year, Chu Sinan probably wouldn't have seen the birth of the child with his own eyes.

After putting away his wife's letter, Chu Sinan was a little lost for a moment. He stared at the quietly flowing Volga River, thinking about his upcoming child. All of this was really like a dream for him.

"General, General," Lucoonki stood beside Chu Sinan and said softly.

"Ah, what's the matter?" Chu Sinan came to his senses and asked with a look at him.

"I think you should persuade Comrade Gilnilova," Lukoonki said hesitantly. "The most important thing for her now is to recuperate and calm down and wait for a baby. However, when I came from Moscow this time, I learned that she is still responsible for heavy work. She has to deal with all the work of the Security Committee, and even the work of political prisoners is personally involved. If this continues, I am afraid she will not be able to bear it."

Chu Sinan didn't say anything. He knew that no one could persuade his wife in these matters. After all, for her, power is the most important thing. If she wants her to give up the power in her hands, it would be impossible even if it took only one or two months.

"Let's talk about these things later," Chu Sinan waved his hand and said, "You, tell me honestly, what's going on between you and Elsa? I remember that the relationship between you is very good. Are you hiding something from me?"

"General, I..." Lucoongi looked puzzled, and he looked down at his feet. It seemed that he couldn't say anything.

"What am I?" Chu Sinan said dissatisfied, "I asked if you have been cured from injury and deteriorating? Why are you talking so unhappy now? My mother-in-law and mother are like a woman."

"I. I have nothing to do with Elsa, we have a good relationship," Lucoonki said hesitantly, "She is a good girl, I..."

"I've got to say it with a key point, I don't have time to listen to you around here," Chu Sinan turned his head and glared at him. At the same time, "Do you like her?"

"Like." Lucoonki replied without hesitation.

"Isn't that all," Chu Sinan's face showed a smile. He reached out to pat the shoulder of Lucoon Base, and then said, "It's the case. You are not young anymore. People in their early thirties should consider their lifelong affairs. As my guard, you can't be a bachelor all your life, right?"

"But..." Lukoonki whispered, "But I don't know what Elsa's attitude is, and..."

"Don't worry about this matter," Chu Sinan smiled, "Well, look back, I will go back to my job, Sumi will do her job. You kid are also a glorious major of the Red Army. This honor was actually brought back on the battlefield. I believe that there must be a lot of girls who want to marry you now. At this point, Elsa should not have any reason to object."

"Ah, no, General, in fact, in fact..." Lucoonki seemed a little worried.

"What in fact?" Chu Sinan asked in confusion.

"In fact, Comrade Gilnilova does not agree with me dating Elsa," Lukoonki lowered his head and kicked a piece of gravel on the ground with his toes, while saying in a desolate tone. "Elsa has a bad background. Her father was an officer in the Southern Caucasus Commission. Later, after their rebellion was suppressed in 2022, he was arrested and executed by the Red Army."

"Then what does this have to do with Elsa? What does it have to do with your relationship?" Chu Sinan said unhappily, "Elsa should have been born at that time. Could it be that she is also qualified to participate in that rebellion?"

"No, Comrade Gilnilova just thinks Elsa is not from a good background," Lukoonki continued. "She thinks I shouldn't have come into contact with a girl who once had too many connections with the White Bandits. Actually, I know Comrade Gilnilova is for my goodness, and she is worried that it will affect my future. And as a general, the person around you..."

"Okay, okay," Chu Sinan frowned and interrupted Lukoonki's words, "You don't want to do anything, Comrade Gilnilova, do you think anything is good? She thinks that that is her business, what does it have to do with you? What I want to know now is just your personal opinion. How do you think Elsa is like? Do you think that union with her will bring you happiness? Remember, what I want to listen to is your personal meaning, not Comrade Gilnilova's fingers next to you. Do you understand?"

"Ah, I think, I think, well, Elsa and I fit well, and I'm not worried about her origins affecting me..." Lucoonki finally expressed his opinion.

"That's her!" Chu Sinan slapped and said in an unquestionable tone, "I will handle this for you personally. Well, where is Elsa now? Did she go to the front line with Comrade Zhukov's troops?"

"Yes," Lukoonki seemed to be in his spirits. He raised his head and said with some excitement. "Elsa's battlefield hospital has already been on the front line with Comrade Zhukov's troops. It should be in Tolmosin or Karach at present."

"That's good to say," Chu Sinan nodded, pulled Lukoonki and turned around, and walked towards the command center, saying, "I'll contact Comrade Zhukov later, transfer Elsa from him, and let you have further contact in the future. If you think you can, we will organize the marriage."

Lukoonki heard Chu Sinan talk to himself, and the joy in his heart was naturally unspeakable. When talking about his relationship with Elsa, it was natural that during the past few months of recovery, the relationship between the two had developed rapidly, and they even had a physical relationship. However, Lukoonki felt depressed that when he returned to Moscow after he recovered from injury, Gilnilova was busy promoting his military position for him, but on the other hand, he told him through a deep conversation that he should not develop further relationship with Elsa because the woman was born with a bad background.

In this case, Lukoongi felt very distressed. He naturally couldn't bear to leave this relationship with Elsa, but at the same time, he did not dare to violate Gilnilova's orders. He could see that Gilnilova had different personalities from Chu Sinan. If he went against her wishes, the final result would probably be more than just leaving Chu Sinan's side. Perhaps, he could not even wear this military uniform.

Finally, in desperation, he accepted the idea Elsa gave him, which was to ask for help from his old leader, Chu Sinan, the general who had been together for life and death. At present, only he can suppress Gilnilova.

At first, Lukoonki felt that he was not easy to speak about this matter, but he didn't expect that Chu Sinan would bring the topic to this point and take over the whole matter. Lukoonki was naturally full of joy when things could reach this point. Although this might lead to Gilnilova's dissatisfaction, he decided to ignore the woman as Elsa said.

"As long as you follow General Chu Sinan, that woman will not dare to touch you, and you don't have to pay attention to her." Elsa's words before leaving were recalled in Lukoonki's ears, and he thought it made sense.
