When Wei Ran drove back to the city, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. However, he was neither in a hurry to return to Kazan, nor in a hurry to contact Teacher Darya or Mrs. Valentina. Instead, he returned to the hotel and had a meal.
Have a good night's rest after drinking enough.
In the blink of an eye, the next morning, he dialed Teacher Dalia's phone number without haste.
"Have you found it?" As soon as the call was connected, Teacher Dalia on the other end asked in a positive tone.
"Finally I found something useful, I've sent it to you."
While speaking, Wei Ran pressed the hands-free button and sent the contents of the application form and the related medal files that he had saved in the previous screenshot to the other party.
"Wait a minute, let me take a look." Teacher Dalia responded and then there was no movement.
After about two or three minutes, Teacher Dalia asked, "Do you think what is mentioned in this application report 'About the 29th Tank Corps of the 5th Guards Tank Army, Tank Driver Vajim's Identity Certificate' is
Mrs. Valentina’s husband?”
Seeing that Dalia did not ask about the search process in detail as he expected, Wei Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied in a calm tone, "I am at least 70% sure. Although the application report was not approved, it is at least detailed.
It describes the battle and the final location where tank driver Vajim was buried. Combined with the Soviet map from World War II, it is not difficult to find it.”
"What's the difficulty?" Teacher Dalia asked simply.
"Excavation permission, and sufficiently professional excavators."
Wei Ran said simply, "Although the application was very detailed, it is not easy to find the tanks that were buried at that time more than 70 years later, and it may be more time-consuming than searching through files.
The work of time.”
"I'll take care of the excavation work." Teacher Dalia responded unhurriedly, "Is there any other trouble?"
"It's not really a trouble, but there is something I want to ask your permission for."
After waiting for a moment, Wei Ran saw that Dalia on the other end of the phone was silent, so he simply continued, "After returning from Egypt, I want to visit Leva, the veteran of Kirov."
"What do you want to do?" Dalia said with a hint of vigilance in her tone.
“I want to share with him the shooting techniques of film cameras.”
Wei Ran pretended not to hear the different emotions in the other party's tone and continued to explain, "Or to be more precise, I plan to learn how to use various antique cameras."
"Are you trying to be a ridiculous war photographer again?" Dalia asked with a hint of helplessness.
"Hobby is just a hobby."
Wei Ranhan responded with a smile, "I plan to collect more old cameras in the future and learn how to use them. This has always been my hobby."
"Don't let him know that we know each other, don't let him know where you live. Also, remember to bring him some gifts."
"No problem!" Wei Ran assured.
"That's it, where are you?"
"Belgorod City"
Wei Ran opened the curtains and let the bright sunshine from outside shine into the room, "I rushed over after finding the application report from Political Commissar Trosha. The next step is to go to the outskirts of Belgorod to see if I can
We can’t determine the approximate location first.”
"Mrs. Valentina's grandson has been found," Teacher Dalia suddenly announced the good news.
Found it so quickly?
Wei Ran was stunned for a moment, but then he shook his head. Although the teachers at Hongqi Forest Farm had long become homeless idle clouds and wild cranes, it was really not easy for them to just find such an ordinary person.
It's nothing too difficult.
Thinking of this, Wei Ran asked, "I remember her grandson's name is Siwa? How is his condition?"
“Not too good”
Daria explained over the phone, "After graduating from college, that young man was falsely accused and sent to prison for reporting corruption in the mine where he worked. During that time, his mother also suffered from mental problems. After he was released from prison,
Siwa took his mother and hid in Petersburg, where he usually made a living by driving a truck."
"Is he worried that Mrs. Valentina will also be retaliated against?" Wei Ran immediately guessed the reason why the grandfather and grandson had not seen each other for many years.
"That's pretty much it." Dalia sighed, "Maybe he doesn't want Mrs. Valentina to worry about his current situation."
"So now they meet?"
"We just met yesterday"
Darya said calmly, "In this case, you wait for me in Belgorod. I will ask Siwa later. If he is willing, I will rush there as soon as possible with him."
"I guess he would be willing."
Wei Ran joked at Teacher Dalia. Without even using his brain, he could roughly guess how Dalia would persuade the grandson named Siwa.
However, what he didn't expect was that at around nine o'clock that night, Teacher Dalia had already arrived in Belgorod!
And walking out of the airport pick-up gate with her was a man who looked about thirty years old and was wearing a set of overalls.
Even without Dalia's introduction, just by looking at this man's appearance and his not-so-tall stature, Wei Ran had roughly guessed that he should be Siva, the grandson of Vadim and Valentina.
"Siva, he is the historian Victor who has been helping to find your grandfather."
Dalia introduced Wei Ran to the man next to her with a smile, and then introduced him to Wei Ran, "He is Valentina's grandson Siva."
After shaking hands with this extraordinarily stocky Slavic man, Wei Ran greeted enthusiastically, "I didn't expect you to arrive so soon. Should we go to the hotel first or get something to eat first?"
"I made an appointment with a friend"
Dalia handed a card to Wei Ran as she walked out, "Go to this address, they should be waiting for us."
After glancing at the handwritten address on the card, Wei Ran stopped asking any more questions and took the two of them out of the airport and into the rented car. Under the guidance of the navigation system, they drove straight to the address recorded on the card.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, what he did not expect was that when the car stopped, the destination turned out to be the edge of the city, a building next to Northern Donets
Sanatorium on the river.
There is no need to look at the architectural style of this sanatorium. Just look at the street trees thicker than the waist on both sides of the corridor after entering the door, and the bronze statue of Marshal Zhukov on horseback surrounded by flower beds in the center of the corridor facing the door. You will know that this sanatorium is
The business history is at least 30 years.
"Where is this place?" Wei Ran couldn't help but ask.
"It's a nursing home," Dalia replied with a smile, "keep driving forward and drive the car into the parking lot."
Hearing this, Wei Ran, who had already slowed down the car, stepped on the accelerator again, pulled the two people in the back row along the corridor, and finally stopped in a parking lot that was not too large.
What made him secretly shocked was that in this parking lot surrounded by green trees, there were military green Camas parked neatly, and the license plates on the fronts of the cars were also tightly covered by camouflage canvas.
"Get out of the car." Before Dalia could finish her words, she was the first to open the car door.
Siwa, who had been silent all the way, saw this and immediately opened the car door and walked out without even a single unnecessary word coming out of his mouth.
"When your grandpa was alive, he had a very poisonous mouth. But now that you are here, he has become a squib..."
Wei Ran, muttering secretly, lowered his head and glanced at his crotch, and couldn't help but think of the vicious teasing he had just faced when he appeared in the tank.
The last one opened the door, Wei Ran put his hands in his pockets and was five or six meters away from Siwa. The last one walked into a maintenance workshop next to the parking lot.
It's not much different from a common auto repair shop. Except for a few car repair trenches built side by side, most of the other places in this workshop are either various maintenance tools or various parts.
The most exaggerated thing was that when he walked past the rear of a military green truck parked in the ditch, he accidentally turned his head and discovered that the canvas cargo compartment of the truck actually contained items over one meter long.
A small red Russian-style coffin half a meter wide, and a transparent plastic box closest to the rear of the car was filled with Soviet flags wrapped in plastic!
Isn’t this really a plan to revive the Qing Dynasty and revive the Qing Dynasty... against Russia?
Wei Ran swallowed and deliberately slowed down. Immediately afterwards, he discovered that on the open passenger seat of the truck, not only was an AK rifle with the magazine removed, but also an AK rifle next to it.
There was even a priest's robe hanging on a wooden hanger!
Where the hell is this going?
Wei Ran became more and more confused. Judging from the truck and the co-pilot's weapon alone, this thing probably came from the Maoist military. However, the priest's robe and the coffin and Soviet flag in the cargo compartment seemed to be purchased wholesale.
Work for God.
etc...
Wei Ran belatedly glanced at the logo on the door of the truck, and then he suddenly realized.
This truck does come from the military, and the mission they perform does require priestly robes, coffins, and the help of a God who doesn't really care.
Because this truck came from Maozi's 90th Special Search Independent Battalion, an engineering unit specifically responsible for finding, excavation and burying Soviet officers and soldiers left behind on the Soviet-German battlefield.
The reason why Wei Ran was impressed by this unit was really not because of the Red Flag Forest Farm, but because of Professor Alexei.
According to what the old guy once said, he served as the historical consultant for this army several years ago, specifically when Wei Ran was still in junior high school.
It can even be said that Professor Alexei’s later decision to run a studio was inseparable from his experience as a historical consultant for this army.
After figuring out the origin of this car, Wei Ran was full of expectations for the person he was going to see next. He even secretly wondered as he walked, whether the person he was about to see would be the same as his future father-in-law, Alec.
