Chapter 4 Countdown to the Battle against Japan
Seeing her husband and Lukoonki leave one after another, Gilnilova turned her head and said to Elsa: "Sister, where did I just talk about it?"
"Oh," Elsa was stunned, and then replied, "Sister-in-law said you and I were..."
"Oh, yes, yes," Gilnilova smiled and patted her forehead, "It was all that annoying guy interrupted."
"Elsa, young, beautiful, and energetic, although important to us women, it cannot last long." Still with that smile, Gilnilova continued, "Do you know what is the most similar thing to you and me, and what makes me like the most?"
Elsa shook her head ignorantly, and she felt intuitively that Gilnilova was about to start shackles on herself.
"I don't know? Then I'll tell you," Gilnilova smiled. "The most similarity between you and me and what I admire most is the ambition and unsatisfactory ambition."
Gilnilova's words shocked Elsa. Her nervous expression turned snowy in an instant, and the little hand held by Gilnilova couldn't help but start trembling.
"Why, are you scared? Haha, my good sister, what's there to be afraid of?" Gilnilova still smiled, "It's not a bad thing to be ambitious. I have been married to Nan for so long, and the only dissatisfaction with him is that he is too unambitious, otherwise I wouldn't have to work so hard."
"But, sister, do you know what is the most important thing for an ambitious person?" Gilnilova's tone began to become cold as she reached out and stroked Elsa's cheek.
"I...I..." Elsa's voice was trembling with obvious tremors, and the strong psychological pressure brought to her by the woman in front of her was almost suffocating her.
"For an ambitious person, scheming, vicious, and useless measures, these factors are not the most important," Gilnilova ignored Elsa's reaction. She continued, "While having ambition, keep a clear mind, judge the situation and see your own strength clearly. Don't be manipulated by deep desires, and pursue things that are out of reach for you without your ability. This is the most important point."
"For example," said Gilnilova softly, "Only we sisters, two of us. My ambition is to one day be able to control the entire Kremlin, except for my husband, I want everyone in the Soviet Union to bow to my feet. For me, that unattainable goal is to surpass my husband. I have great ambitions, but I will never pick this goal, because I know that it can only mean destruction to me. And what about you. As long as I and Nanzai, you and your husband can get the scenery and get
Glory. Your limited ambition will eventually be realized one by one. But if you try to be unfavorable to us, then the only thing waiting for you is destruction. You should know what happened in your hometown, right? It is very simple for me to do this. Rehabilitate your father, join your family to the farm, and let your brother escape from labor and become an excellent Soviet cadre. This only takes my glance to solve it. For you and your family, the transition from hell to heaven is so simple. On the other hand, I believe there will be no difficulties, what do you think?"
"Yes...yes..." Elsa nodded in panic and said tremblingly, "Sister...sister, I...I know what to do..."
"Very good, I like you more now because you are a smart person." Gilnilova stood up, walked to the desk beside the bed, and took out a sealed file bag from the bottom drawer. "Well, it's rare that we are so close. My sister-in-law will give you a gift for you no matter what."
After throwing the file bag in front of Elsa, Gilnilova said: "There are your gun, seal, work permit, appointment letter, and well, and the first job instructions. You can check the details for yourself."
With his trembling hands, Elsa took out the things in the file bag, a gun, a metal plaque engraved with the safety committee logo, a red work permit with Elsa's photo, and the appointment on the appointment letter was the second-level commissioner of the Anti-Corruption and Punishment Independent Department of the Safety Committee. As for the first work order, it was to sanction the corrupt elements and anti-party groups in various departments in the South Caucasus Administrative Region. In addition to these things, there was also a thick stack of information. Elsa scrutinized and found many names that made her hate her to the core.
"How about it, are you satisfied with your new job?" Gilnilova said, stroking Elsa's hair.
"Well, thank you sister." Elsa said sincerely.
"Don't thank me, you have to know that Nan has always regarded your husband as his own. I think you will have the opportunity to enter our *** in the future," Gilnilova smiled. "But, Nan and I judged the difference between us. He was the one who was in love with him. And I had another standard, that is, to first see if this person was removed by me. Your husband is very honest and very responsible. In him, I can't find a reason to let me attack him, so he is still his own person for the time being. As for you, haha, I hope you don't find a reason to attack you, otherwise your name will appear on such a list next time."
A chill rose from Elsa's heart. She felt that Gilnilova was like a devil, and the devil was staring at her blood-red eyes all the time, monitoring her every move. Once she had any abnormal movement, the devil would quickly pounce on her and tear her to pieces.
"Okay, if you understand what I mean, you'll go out first," Gilnilova had obviously finished what she was going to say. "I'm a little tired and want to take a break."
"Then... I'll go out first." Elsa said carefully.
"Go," Gilnilova waved her hand and said something indifferently. At this moment, she put her main energy on her child. In that shocking glance, Elsa saw the rare sincere love flashing across the woman's face.
The child was so happy that she was still in her infancy. At least she would only feel the care of that woman, but she didn't have to worry about her poison. When she went out, Elsa thought so. At the same time, it was only at this time that she felt that her close clothes were completely wet without realizing it.
"Judge whether a person is his own person. The first thing to do is to see whether he has a reason to get rid of the other person." Walking in the corridor outside the ward, Elsa's mind was still echoing Gilnilova's words. What kind of mentality is this? She felt that she could not understand, but she understood one thing. That is, the woman who had just become a mother is definitely not something she could do. In front of her, she was better to be honest and obedient.
Just when Elsa was facing the biggest blow in her life in her ambition, Chu Sinan was already excited and hurriedly stepped into the long-lost Kremlin in the guards' salute. He did not stop anywhere. He walked all the way to Tukhachevsky's office. As soon as he arrived at the corridor where Tukhachevsky's office was located, the scene in front of him almost made Chu Sinan laugh out loud. Outside the purple-red double door, more than a dozen men and women were tied into a pier, chattering and talking about something, and near the door. Two female soldiers were squatting there in an indecent posture, peeping inside through the crack of the door.
"They are..." Lukoonki, who was following Chu Sinan, was obviously surprised by the scene in front of him. He murmured and said in a low voice.
Chu Sinan didn't say anything, he speeded up and walked directly to those "bold and arrogant" guys.
"Salute!" Among the soldiers gathered in Yidian, someone obviously saw Chu Sinan's appearance. With a panic shout, the people stood up straight, and then slapped in a hurry. What makes people laugh the most is that the two half-squatted at the door and peeped at the door, perhaps because they were too nervous, suddenly got up, and their heads bumped into each other and then fell to the ground.
"What are you doing?" Chu Sinan asked in a deep voice with a tense face.
"Report to the General," a soldier replied honestly, "we...we are looking at your son..."
"Yes, General," said a female soldier in a low voice, "You are so blessed, your son is so cute."
In the Kremlin, Chu Sinan's image has always been very easy-going, so when facing him, these soldiers would not be too nervous. If Gilnilova had been replaced here, these soldiers would probably have been speechless.
"Oh? Is that right?" Chu Sinan's face showed a smile, and the seriousness he had just pretended to disappear. As a father, when he heard others praise his son, I believe that anyone would be very proud.
"Yes, Comrade Tukhachevsky seems very happy whenever the child is brought in these days," said a soldier. "For so long, we have hardly seen him so happy."
"Oh?" Chu Sinan subconsciously bent down and put his head close to the crack of the door where a trace of light was slightly exposed. He planned to follow the soldiers and peek inside. However, at this moment, a slight sneer from behind him made him realize that his identity seemed inappropriate to do such a move.
"Well, that's that," Chu Sinan turned around and said to the soldiers gathered around him, "What are you still doing here? If you want a child, give birth to one by yourself. Let's go, let's go, let's go!"
A group of soldiers scattered, but the faint laughter could make Chu Sinan hear it very clearly.
"Lukoonki, go to the guard to rest. If you have something to do, I will call you again." Lukoonki said without looking back, and Chu Sinan reached out and knocked on the door twice, then pushed the door in.
The scene in the room surprised Chu Sinan. It turned out that not only Tuhachevs was basically here, but even Yakil and Ubolevich were there. In addition to the elderly, two female nurses were present.
"Ah, the little guy's biological father is chasing him," he turned to see Chu Sinan coming in. Yakil, who was pouring wine at the table, said first, "From today on, we old guys will stand aside."
"You have already stood aside," Putner, sitting beside Tukhachevsky, was looking into the cradle, and laughed at him, "Your hawthorn-faced image cannot be recognized by the little guy."
The two old and unreasonable conversations attracted a burst of laughter in the office.
"Come on, come here." Tukhachevsky waved to Chu Sinan and said with a smile. "Look at how similar your baby son looks to you."
"Mikhail." Kolk obviously disagreed with Tukhachevsky's point of view. He bent down and squatted on the edge of the cradle, shook his head, "Your eyes are obviously inversely proportional to your knowledge. In my opinion, the little guy obviously looks more like Sumi. Look at this nose, this mouth. Oh, even those two ears..."
"August," Tukhachevsky said unhappily, "Why do you always sing the opposite of me on this issue? Don't forget..."
"Oh, God. How many times do you have to say the same thing?" Kolk stroked his forehead and said, "In terms of military age, you joined the army in 1912, and I joined the local army in 1917; in terms of military positions, you have become a marshal in 1935, and I am just an admiral, commander of the second-level army; in terms of official positions... So, my argument must be consistent with you... Isn't this what we call bureaucracy?"
"I feel the need to bureaucrats once on this issue," Tukhachevsky shrugged and said seriously.
Chu Sinan laughed silently. These old guys looked in a good mood, especially Tukhachevsky. There was a rare rosy look on his usual pale face.
Walking slowly to the cradle, Chu Sinan half-squatted down and looked at the baby sleeping quietly. This is his son, his biological son. Just one look, he could feel a sense of blood connection.
"Go, don't move," Tukhachevsky said with a stare and said, "I slap Chu Sinan's big hand that reached out toward the child with a slap.
"I said, Big Brother, this is my son after all. I just want to hug him. This is forbidden?" Chu Sinan retracted his hand and said with a sad face.
"He just fell asleep. Do you want to wake him up again?" Tukhachevsky said disapprovingly. "This little guy is a naturally loud voice. I don't want to be in a hurry."
"Mikhail is right," Kopner said with a smile. "Before the end of our war, your right to be a father was temporarily deprived of. Given that all of us agree with this, it can be regarded as a resolution of the Supreme Command, hahaha..."
Chu Sinan shrugged, he had nothing to say.
"Come on, tell me, the child's name is ready?" Tukhachevsky straightened up, patted Chu Sinan's shoulder, and then said.
"Well, it was Sumi," Chu Sinan nodded, and then told Tukhachevsky the two Russian names he decided by his wife.
"Oh, very good, very good," Tukhachevsky said with a smile, "Levtet, Okgibrina, yes, the children of the revolutionaries, the children of the revolutionaries, Sumi did not do anything in vain in the work of the Security Committee, and her consciousness is probably something that many people cannot compare to."
"Little Levtte," Korke shook his head without any image at the cradle. "You are the son of the revolutionary birthed by the Kremlin. You are destined to have an extraordinary life. Godfather sincerely hopes that you can inherit all the advantages of your father and become another outstanding marshal in our heroic Red Army."
"Marson?!" Chu Sinan was stunned when he heard this. He felt that something unpredictable was hidden in Kolk's words.
"Yes, a little brat, it's a marshal." Yakil walked over from the direction of his desk and stood in front of Chu Sinan. "At the newly concluded enlarged meeting of the All-Soviet Politburo, an exceptional appointment for you was unanimously approved by 1,300 delegates attending the meeting. The content of this appointment is to award you the honorary rank of quasi-war marshal. A little brat was promoted to marshal at the age of 32. You are the only one in the world."
"Why don't I know this news?!" A huge excitement rushed into Chu Sinan's mind. Marshal, the title that was once absolutely out of reach for him, actually fell on his head at this time. He couldn't believe it, really couldn't believe it.
"Don't be too happy too early," Tukhachevsky said with a glare at him, "You don't know because this appointment is still in my hand. Whether you can get it in the end depends on your performance in the Far East and Pacific campaigns."
"Far East, Battle in the Pacific?" Another surprise. Chu Sinan knew that since Tukhachevsky said so, it means that fighting against Japan is imminent, and he himself is likely to be the supreme commander of the Soviet army in this war.
"However," said Kolk, "the war between us and the Japanese imperialists is unavoidable. They have rejected the proposal to demarcate the demilitarized zone between Heilongjiang and Harbin. The reason for our declaration of war is already very sufficient. During this period, the Japanese Kwantung Army headquarters is also rapidly gathering troops to the front line of Heilongjiang, which seems to be preparing for a big war. Therefore, after our research and decision, we will launch wars in the Far East in advance without giving them sufficient preparation time. We must not make the mistakes made by the Americans again."
"Then what should I do?" Chu Sinan asked.
"There is only one thing you have to do, and that is to win another brilliant victory for our glorious Soviet." Jakil said.
