Although Sokov and Belkin kept silent about the news about Grissa's marriage, the matter soon spread within the infantry brigade. Whether it was officers or soldiers in the infantry brigade, they were all single dogs. When they learned that Grissa was very lucky, they picked up a beautiful wife when they walked on the street. This incident made everyone envious.
In the next two days, the number of officers above the platoon took leave suddenly increased, but all of them were rejected mercilessly by Belkin. He said with a hint of anger: "Comrade Brigade Commander, do you believe it or not? If I agree to their leave request, when they come back, I will report to me proudly that they are married."
"Comrade Political Commissar, you did it right." Sokov agreed with Belkin's approach: "If we let it go, the officers' personal problems will be solved, but will they still have the intention to command the troops to fight in the next battle?"
As soon as Sokov finished his statement, Berkin suddenly said unexpectedly: "Comrade Brigade Commander, I think you should choose a suitable time and go to the city with Asia to find a marriage registration office to register for marriage."
"How can this work?" Sokov waved his hand to Belkin's proposal and said, "We have just rejected the holidays of all commanders to prevent them from going to the city to find a young girl to marry. But in a blink of an eye, as their brigade commander, I took my beloved woman to get married. How can I convince the public if I do this?"
"It's okay, comrade brigade commander. Your situation is different." Belkin said with a smile: "You are the brigade commander of the infantry brigade. If you want to get married, your superiors will probably be happy to see it."
"Why?" Sokov asked in confusion when he heard Belkin say this.
But Belkin avoided Sokov's issue, but kept urging: "Okay, comrade brigade commander, hurry up and clean up. I have prepared the car for you. When Asia comes, you will set off immediately and go to the city to register for marriage."
Seeing that Belkin had everything arranged, Sokov couldn't help but wonder: Belkin had been partnering with him for a long time, but he had never done such self-righteous things before. Is it the intention of his superiors to marry Asia?
Thinking of this, Sokov did not argue with Belkin anymore, but nodded and said, "Okay, Comrade Political Commissar, then I will do what you want and register for marriage with Asia later."
After receiving the notice from Belkin, Asia thought that Sokov or Belkin had been injured, so she hurried over. When she saw that both of them were intact, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brig Commander, Political Commissar, I wonder if you asked me to come here, is there anything?"
Belkin didn't say anything, but waved his hand to the distance, and soon a car drove to the tent door. Belkin personally stepped forward and opened the car door, saying to Asia: "Asia, please get in the car. Today, the brigade department has an important task, which requires you to cooperate with the brigade commander to complete."
"Important task?" Hearing Belkin say this, Asia raised her eyebrows and asked curiously: "Comrade Political Commissar, can I ask, what is the task?"
"Asia, you get on the bus first. The brigade commander will tell you about the specific tasks on the road." After Berkin waited for Asia to get on the bus, he urged Sokov: "Comrade Brigade Commander, it's getting late, so please get on the bus too. I hope you can complete the task as soon as possible and return smoothly."
After the car started, Asia asked Sokov curiously: "Misha, what is the task? The political commissar refused to say it, you have to tell me, right?"
Although Sokov is now the brigade commander, it still makes him feel embarrassed if he wants to explain the mission to Asia. He hesitated for a long time and finally said a little embarrassedly: "Get married."
"Marriage?" Asia asked curiously: "Misa, who is going to get married?"
Sokov turned around and looked at Asia, pointed at her, pointed at herself again, and said, "Who else can it be? Of course it's you and me."
"What, we are getting married?" Hearing the news, Asia's face turned red: "Misa, stop joking. Tell me, what is the important task?"
"It's really our marriage." Seeing that Asia didn't believe in her, Sokov said helplessly: "Think about it, did the political commissar be too attentive when we got on the bus?"
Asia carefully recalled what Belkin did and felt that Sokov was justified, but when it comes to getting married, it seemed a bit too fantastic. After she said "um" softly, she held the medicine box in her arms without saying a word.
Seeing that Asia didn't speak, Sokov felt bored, so he turned his head to look out the window and thought to himself: "I'll arrive at the marriage registration office later. If Asia is determined to refuse to get married, how will she end then?"
The car stopped at the door of the marriage registration office. After Asia saw the sign on the wall, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He thought to himself: My God, it turns out that Misha really wants to marry me. I thought he was joking.
Seeing Asia staring at the building outside the car in a daze, Sokov did not dare to disturb her, and quietly waited for her to make the final decision. Sokov did not speak, so the driver naturally did not dare to speak. He could only sit in his own position, and from time to time he looked at Sokov and Asia sitting in the back row from the corner of his eyes.
After a while, Sokov saw that Asia was still not moving and knew that if he could wait like this, there might not be any result. He coughed gently and asked tentatively: "Asia, I have been in the car for a long time, so let's get off first."
Asia nodded shyly, pushed open the car door and got out first. Sokov opened the car door on the other side and got out. From the rear of the car, he walked to Asia's side, held her hand, and walked towards the marriage registration office without hesitation.
When the two entered the door, the staff had just helped another young couple complete the procedures. Seeing Sokov and Asia coming in, he smiled and asked tentatively: "Is it Lieutenant Colonel Sokov and Sergeant Asia?"
"Yes, I am Lieutenant Colonel Sokov." Hearing the staff's question, Sokov quickly revealed his identity. However, when he looked at Asia with a side face, he thought to himself: When did Asia become a sergeant? Why don't I know?
As soon as Sokov finished speaking, Asia continued to say in a slightly trembling voice: "I am Asia."
"Hello!" The staff said politely: "I received a call from my superiors, saying that you are here to register for marriage today and let me be responsible for the reception!" After greeting the two, he continued, "Although I have to receive a lot of soldiers every day, both sides are soldiers, and this is the first time I have met them."
He took out the prepared blank marriage certificate and placed it on the table, looked at the two of them and said, "Please show your documents."
After Sokov handed over the military certificates of the two, the staff took a look and asked in surprise: "Lieutenant Colonel Sokov, why is the rank of major on your document?"
When Sokov heard this question, he smiled faintly at the other party, and then said, "Actually, my rank of lieutenant colonel has just been awarded for not long."
Since he had received instructions from his superiors in advance, the staff did not care about these details. After filling out the marriage certificate quickly, he stood up and pushed the certificate in front of the two of them, and said with a smile: "Please sign your own names at the signature office below, and this marriage certificate will take effect."
A few minutes later, Asia walked out of the marriage registration office with two marriage certificates and shoulder to shoulder with Sokov. Before she could wake up from the shock, she murmured: "Misha, is this all true? Are we two really married?"
"Yes, Asia." Sokov nodded vigorously and said to Asia: "The marriage certificates of both of us are in your hands. If you can't believe it, you can read them again."
Just as the two were walking towards the jeep parked not far away, three policemen suddenly stopped their way. Sokov's eyes quickly swept over their collars and found that they were a lieutenant in his thirties, an elderly sheriff and a childish little policeman. He stopped and asked coldly: "Comrade Police, is there anything wrong?"
The three policemen surrounded Sokov in fan shapes, and the lieutenant who led the team said in a very unfriendly tone: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, please hand over your gun."
Sokov frowned and asked, "Why?"
"We are carrying out the mission, and I hope you can cooperate." The police lieutenant pulled out his pistol and pointed at Sokov and said: "If you don't cooperate, you will bear all the consequences."
If the police had not pulled the gun, Sokov might have cooperated with them to figure out the problem. Now that he saw the other party's gun pointing at him, Sokov immediately became furious. He took a step forward with his left foot, and suddenly separated the other party's gunman with his right hand, pressed down with his left hand, and pressed down with his left hand. At the same time, his right hand turned into a push. The police lieutenant did not expect Sokov to use his grasping hand to him, and was immediately pressed to kneel on one knee, and the gun in his hand was also seized by Sokov.
Seeing Sokov knocking off the lieutenant who was holding the gun at lightning speed, the other two policemen were shocked. They tried to draw the gun to stop Sokov, but before the policeman pulled out the gun, Asia kept hitting the medicine box in his hand, causing him to stagger and take a few steps back.
The elderly sheriff, although he was very fast to pull the gun, was fast, and Sokov was faster. Before he could lift the gun, the pistol in Sokov's hand had already pointed at his forehead.
The driver sitting in the car, when he saw Sokov being attacked, quickly jumped out of the car and rushed over with a submachine gun. By the time he arrived, Sokov had already subdued three policemen. "Who are you?" Sokov asked coldly.
The police lieutenant who knelt on one knee replied: "We are from the 17th Division."
"You are police officers from the 17th branch, why don't you go on patrol?" Sokov asked, "But you want to take my weapons?"
The police lieutenant got up from the ground with difficulty and said to Sokov: "I'm sorry, comrade Lieutenant Colonel, we are also on orders. Please come with this female soldier."
Sokov threw the pistol back to the police lieutenant and said to the driver holding the submachine gun: "Comrade Driver, we are going to the 51st Branch for investigation, you can go back first."
"Comrade Brigade Commander," the driver asked nervously when he heard Sokov say this, "You can't be in any danger when you follow them to the police station, right?"
"Don't worry, there will be no danger." Sokov said, pushing heavily on the driver's shoulder, urging: "Go quickly, don't let the political commissar wait in a hurry." As he said that, he took advantage of the three policemen's inattention and winked at the driver quickly.
After the driver drove away, Sokov said to the police lieutenant: "Where is the branch office? Take us there quickly."
The three policemen brought Sokov and Asia to the police station, took them to the door of a detention room, nodded and said, "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I'll complain that you two are waiting here for a while. I'll report to the director immediately."
Sokov and Asia sat in the detention room with walls on three sides, with only an iron fence gate, quietly waiting for the director's arrival. Perhaps Sokov's just a warning shocked the police lieutenant. Although he locked the two of them in the detention room, the door was just a false door and was not locked at all. If Sokov and Asia were willing, they could leave freely even if they didn't say hello to them.
"Misha," Although the police did not make things difficult for him, Asia felt a little nervous when she stayed in this detention room: "Tell me, why did they catch us here?"
"Maybe it's a misunderstanding." Sokov didn't know what the police were doing, but in order not to worry Asia, he comforted her and said, "After we are clear, we will be released."
The two waited for a long time, but they didn't see the police lieutenant or the branch director coming, but they waited for the little policeman who was smashed by Asia. He came to the two and said expressionlessly: "Please give me your ID."
Sokov wanted to see what they were selling in their gourds, so he handed over the military certificates of the two to the police. After receiving the certificate, the police just said dryly: "Wait here." Then, he left with the military certificates of the two.
Seeing the police officer leave, Asia's heart became more and more uneasy. She asked nervously: "Misha, what did you think they were doing with our military certificate?"
