When Rokosovsky heard Sokov say this, his eyebrows couldn't help but tilt up and asked unexpectedly: "Misha, have you heard some wind?"
"No, I didn't hear any sounds." Sokov, who almost let out a joke, shook his head and denied, "Comrade Commander, I don't know anyone except you and Yakov, wherever I go, so what kind of rumor is there."
"Oh, you don't know anyone in Moscow?" Rokosovsky looked at Sokov and asked with a smile: "But aren't you from Moscow? At least this is what you wrote on your resume."
Rokosovsky's seemingly casual words made Sokov's cold sweat come out. He wanted to slap himself twice, but he actually forgot that he was a local Moscow. He hesitated for a moment and finally said cautiously: "Comrade Commander, according to my analysis, after you are discharged from the hospital after you are discharged from the hospital after you are discharged from the hospital."
"Adjustment, how to adjust?" Rokosovsky asked with interest: "Misha, let me tell you about your analysis."
"Comrade Commander, in the battle to defend Moscow, the troops you commanded hit the German army hard, crushed their attempt to seize Moscow, and established great military achievements." Sokov first flattered Rokosovsky and then turned to the topic.
"Analyze" the adjustment of future positions for him: "The Supreme Commander sees your ability. Therefore, I guess that when you are discharged from the hospital, you will definitely be in command of a certain front army. As you just guessed, our army will have an important offensive operation in the south of Moscow. Among the several front troops participating in this operation, Marshal Temushingo, the commander of the Southwest Front, and General Malinnovsky, the commander of the South Front, will not make any changes in the positions. However, General Golikov, the commander of the Bryansk Front, may be appointed elsewhere, and the Supreme Commander will arrange for you to take over the positions he has vacant."
After hearing Sokov's words, Rokosovsky laughed. He thought that the appointment and removal of front commanders, not to mention the small majors like Sokov, even marshals such as Voroshilov, Budonnie, and Temuxingo would not be able to know the specific personnel arrangements before the appointment was officially issued. Therefore, he regarded what Sokov said as the other party's analysis, and smiled and said, "Misha, if I really served as the commander of the Bryansk Front, I would definitely incorporate your battalion into my army. After all, excellent commanders and troops who can fight are popular everywhere."
Although Rokosovsky just said this in a joking tone, the stone hanging in Sokov's heart finally fell to the ground. As long as Temushingo did not transfer his troops to the Southwest Front before Rokosovsky was discharged from the hospital, there would be room for improvement.
After solving the troublesome things, Sokov became happy. Since Rokosovsky was admitted to the hospital, he has been unable to find anyone to talk to him. He is feeling uncomfortable. Finally, he has come to a relatively close subordinate, so he naturally has a little more words to say. The two of them have become happier and have completely forgotten the passage of time.
I don’t know how long it took, a doctor in a white coat came in from outside the door and saw Sokov who was chatting and laughing with Rokosovsky, and couldn’t help but frown slightly. He walked to Rokosovsky and said with a serious expression: “Comrade General, it’s getting late. For your health to recover soon, please rest early.”
After being reminded by the doctor, Rokosovsky quickly raised his hand to look at the clock hanging on the wall, and found that it was already eleven o'clock. He said to the doctor apologetically: "I'm sorry, comrade doctor, an old subordinate came to visit me today. I was happy to chat and forgot the time. Please forgive me, I will rest immediately."
When Sokov saw the doctor coming in, he knew that he should leave. He quickly stood up, put the coat on the sofa next to him on his arm, and said to Rokosovsky who was lying on the hospital bed: "Comrade Commander, I may stay in Moscow for a while. You have a good rest. I will come to see you again another day. Goodbye!" After that, he raised his hand and saluted Rokosovsky, then turned around and walked out of the ward.
Seeing that it was getting late outside, Sokov knew that the subway and bus had to stop. He would definitely not be able to walk back so far, so he could only think of other ways. He saw a nurse sitting next to the stove to keep warm on the ground floor, so he went forward to inquire with the other party: "Comrade nurse, I want to ask, is it so late, go to the ambulance of Lenin Street Hospital again?"
When the nurse heard someone ask him, she quickly raised her head and saw clearly that it was a major. She said politely: "Comrade Commander, I want to send the wounded from Lenin Street Hospital, and I have already sent them away in the afternoon. Are you going there so late to visit the wounded?"
"No, I'm not a visitor to the wounded." Sokov shook his head quickly and explained: "I live near Lenin Street Hospital. It's too late now, and the bus and subway have stopped, so I want to ask if there is a ride-hailing ride."
When she learned that Sokov just wanted to take a ride, the nurse's face was covered with frost. Just when she was about to reject Sokov directly, she accidentally saw two medals hanging on Sokov's military uniform, one of which was the highest-level Lenin medal at present. The words she refused came to her mouth and swallowed them back. She tried to squeeze out a smile on her face and asked, "Comrade Commander, have you just returned from the front line?"
"Yes, I just returned to Moscow a few days ago and escorted a chief back." Sokov said this, raised his hand and pointed at it, and said, "He lives upstairs at the moment, and I came here to visit him."
"I understand, Comrade Commander." The nurse stood up and said kindly: "You came here to visit the injured superior. Because it was too late, I missed the bus and subway home. Am I right, Comrade Commander?"
"Yes, that's it." Sokov didn't know the purpose of the nurse saying this, but nodded and replied truthfully: "So I asked if there was a ride, and if not, I had to walk home."
"Comrade Commander, look at what you said, how can you let you walk back? It's such a cold day and such a long way to walk back, you will be frostbite. Wait a minute, I'll ask you if there are any cars along the way."
Although Sokov didn't know why the nurse was suddenly so polite to him, he still said gratefully: "Thank you, comrade nurse. If there is no smooth car, you don't have to force it. You can't disturb the driver's rest because of me."
The nurse walked to a table, picked up the phone placed on it, dialed a number, stopped for a moment, and then asked, "Hey, Boris? I'm Natasha. I want to ask you, are your goods loaded?...What's the matter? There is a commander who wants to go to the hospital on Lenin Street. I want you to take it over, anyway, you'll be passing by there later."
After putting down the phone, Natasha smiled and said to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, you are so lucky. We happen to have an ambulance to deliver the goods to Hospital No. 37 and can pass through Lenin Street. You can take this car back."
When he heard that Natasha had arranged an ambulance for him, Sokov quickly expressed his gratitude to her. There was a piece of chocolate bought in the officer's store in the coat pocket, so he gave it to Natasha to express his gratitude. Natasha took the chocolate and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.
Not long after, Natasha heard two loud horns outside and said to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, the ambulance is here, just park outside. Come with me."
Sokov followed Natasha to the hospitalization department and saw an ambulance parked at the door. A middle-aged driver poked his head out of the window and shouted at Natasha: "Hey, Natasha, where are the commander you mentioned? Let him get on the bus quickly, and I have to hurry up and hurry up."
Natasha ignored him, but walked to the car, pulled away the passenger seat, and then made a call to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, please get in the car, Boris will take you to the destination."
Shortly after the ambulance left the hospital, Boris, who was driving, suddenly took out a flat stainless steel wine pot from his pocket, slammed Sokov, and asked, "Comrade Commander, let's take a sip and keep warm."
Sokov knew that the wine pot must be filled with vodka, so he waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Comrade Boris, I never drink wine at night."
Seeing Sokov rejecting him, Boris muttered, "This is a good wine brought to me by others. It is said that it is from Poland. It is a pity that you don't drink it." After that, he pressed the steering wheel with his left elbow, twisted the lid, raised his head, and started drinking.
"Driving carefully!" Seeing the driver actually drinking while driving, Sokov was shocked and sweated. He quickly reminded the driver: "Don't drink when driving, beware of accidents."
"It's okay! Commander, I'm an old driver." Boris twisted the lid on the lid, stuffed it into his pocket, and said carelessly: "Every time I drive, I have to drink, the more I drink, the more I drive." In order to prove his strength to Sokov, he continued, "Once I went to the front line to pull wounded people, and the road was bombed by enemy planes on the road, and the road was blown up to a bumpy pot. If we were not stopped at the time, we would soon be smashed by the bombs dropped by enemy planes. I asked Natasha for a small bottle of alcohol, and after drinking, I drove out of the area where the enemy planes bombed."
Boris's words not only did not reassure Sokov, but also made him even more frightened. Although there were very few vehicles on the street after nightfall in Moscow, Boris drove an ambulance out of the Formula Racing car, which made Sokov's palm sweat.
After finally seeing the familiar street appearing in front of him, Sokov quickly pointed at it and said to Boris: "Comrade Driver, stop the car by the side and I'll get out there."
Although Boris drank, he was still clear about his consciousness. He looked at the position where Sokov pointed, and then said, "Comrade Commander, there are still four or five hundred meters away from the hospital. Why not I send you to the entrance of the hospital, anyway, it's just a throttle."
"No, no, no," Sokov said in a hurry, "Comrade Driver, I want to go down and have a walk, so just put me there." Seeing that Sokov was stubborn, Boris didn't persuade him, so he parked the car at the designated location. After getting off the car, Sokov closed the car door, thanked Boris, and walked towards his residence with big stances.
Sokov returned home, took off his military coat and hung it on the coat rack next to the door, walked straight into the bathroom, ready to take a shower. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took off all his clothes, he heard someone knocking at the door. When he heard the knock on the door, he was still a little puzzled, thinking that it was almost twelve o'clock, who would come to the door at this time?
The first thought that came to his mind was that the other party knocked on the wrong door. He didn't want to pay attention to it, but the knocking sound never stopped. At the same time, a woman's voice came: "Mikhail Mikhailnovic, are you in the house?"
When Sokov heard someone calling his real name and father's name outside, he knew that the other party had not knocked on the wrong door, but came to find him specifically. The sound outside the door was quite familiar. Sokov only took a moment to knock on the door and it was the nurse Anne who replied, "It's Anne, please wait a moment, I'll come right away." After that, he began to wear clothes in a hurry.
In order not to let Annie wait for a long time, he put his clothes on his body and then opened the door. It was indeed Annie who stood at the door. Seeing Sokov opening the door for him, Annie asked embarrassedly: "Misha, I didn't disturb you, right?"
"No, no." Sokov didn't want a woman standing at the door and talking to him late at night. If the neighbors saw it, some things would be impossible to explain. He quickly grabbed Annie's hand, pulled her in from outside the door, and said, "Annie, if there is anything, come into the house and talk."
After Anne entered the door, she stood in the corridor and said to Sokov: "Misha, why did you come back so late? Do you know how worried I am about you?"
Annie's words made Sokov stunned for a moment, and then he said embarrassedly: "I haven't seen the commander for a long time. When I talked, I forgot the time and made you worry about me. I'm so embarrassed." After he said this, he suddenly remembered that he had just arrived home. How could Annie come here in time?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Annie, how do you know I'm going home?"
