Early the next morning, Sokov, who always slept until he woke up naturally, got up early and chatted with Asya in the ward while waiting for Lunev to send someone to pick him up.
At 7:20 minutes, a lieutenant officer wearing a blue hat appeared at the door of the ward. He gently tapped the door twice with his hand and asked politely: "Excuse me, is this General Sokov's?"
Ward?"
"Yes, I am Sokov." Sokov looked at the lieutenant and asked, "Did Lunev send you here?"
The officer walked into the ward and quickly came to Sokov. He raised his hand and saluted and said: "Hello, comrade general, my name is Koshkin. I was sent by General Lunev to take you to the Frunze Military Academy."
After that, he handed the small box he was carrying in his left hand to Sokov.
Sokov took the box, put it on his knees and opened it. He found a set of captain's military uniforms inside. He would wear this suit to class in the next month. He turned to Asiya and said: "Asiya, help
Let me put some clothes on."
Koshkin waited for Sokov to get dressed and said politely: "Comrade General..."
"Wait a minute, Lieutenant Koshkin." Sokov interrupted Koshkin's words and said to him: "From now on, I am just the captain, Captain Sokov, remember?"
"I understand, Comrade General." Koshkin replied casually, but he soon realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected him: "I understand, Comrade Captain. From now on, I will call you Captain Sokov."
.”
"It's getting late, let's go."
Koshkin nodded, came behind Sokov's wheelchair, and said politely to Asiya, who was about to push the wheelchair: "Comrade female military doctor, let me do it."
Seeing that Koshkin took the initiative to push his wheelchair, Sokov seemed not to let Asiya go to the Frunze Military Academy with him, so he asked tentatively: "Lieutenant Koshkin, my wife can't go with me."
College?”
"I'm sorry, Comrade Captain." Koshkin said apologetically: "The Frunze Military Academy is a very special place, and not everyone is qualified to enter." Perhaps because he was worried that Sokov would be unhappy, he also specifically added
Said, "If I hadn't been ordered to send you to report, I wouldn't even be qualified to enter the academy."
Originally, Sokov was still very dissatisfied because Asya could not accompany him to the academy, but after listening to Koshkin's explanation, he was relieved. In any case, the Frunze Military Academy is the highest.
It is absolutely necessary for military academies to have strict management.
He turned to Asiya who looked disappointed behind him and said, "Asiya, I'm sorry, the college's management is strict and I can't let you send me to report."
"It's okay, Misha." Asiya said reasonably: "When you come back from school, remember to tell me the interesting things in the college."
Sokov took a car driven by Koshkin and came to the Frunze Military Academy.
Although the sentry standing guard at the door saw the special pass posted on the windshield, he still stopped the vehicle and wanted to check the documents of Koshkin and Sokov.
When Koshkin handed his ID to the sentry, Sokov also prepared his military ID and admission notice.
The sentry read Koshkin's ID, handed it back to him, looked at Sokov and asked: "Comrade Captain, where is your ID?"
Sokov quickly handed over the documents he had prepared.
The sentry opened Sokov's military ID card and after seeing the contents clearly, his pupils could not help but shrink violently. He did not expect that the captain sitting in the car was identified as a general on the military ID card.
"Comrade Captain." The sentry hesitated for a moment, and then asked expressionlessly: "Are you sure this is your ID?"
"Of course." Sokov replied in a positive tone: "If you don't believe it, you can compare it with the photo inside and you will know whether this is my military ID."
"Yes, the photo is indeed yours." The sentry said hesitantly: "But your identity on the military ID is lieutenant general, but you are wearing the uniform of a captain."
"Comrade Sentinel," Koshkin said before Sokov could speak: "Don't you know what you shouldn't ask and can't ask?"
If someone else had said this, the sentry might have refuted it, but when he just checked Koshkin's ID, he learned that the other person was from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Since he said it was confidential, he certainly couldn't pry around. He told Soko
He handed the husband's ID back to the car, took a step back and raised his hand in salute, and then extended his hand to signal for release.
After the vehicle drove into the campus, Sokov curiously asked Koshkin: "Lieutenant Koshkin, where are we going next? Are we going to report first and then attend the opening ceremony?"
"Comrade Captain, if you are another commander, you must follow these two steps." Koshkin politely explained to Sokov: "First, your status is special, and you have the same military rank as the dean; second, you
I have an injury on my leg and am unable to move, so I don’t have to report and attend the opening ceremony.”
"Then where do I go?"
"I will send you directly to the classroom." Koshkin replied: "Then I will take your admission notice and go to the dean's office to find Dean Verevkin Rahalsky and ask him to personally prepare the exam for you.
Go through the admission procedures.”
Sokov was worried about the inconvenience of sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed around by Koshkin. Now when he heard what Koshkin said, he felt much more at ease: "Okay, Lieutenant Koshkin, what's the trouble?"
You take me to the classroom first."
Koshkin parked the car next to the teaching building, first took out the wheelchair from the trunk, placed it next to the car, then opened the door and helped Sokov out of the car, and helped him into the wheelchair.
Koshkin had obviously come here to survey the terrain a long time ago. After Sokov sat down, he pushed the wheelchair to the door of a classroom on the first floor with ease.
The classroom door was open, and there was no one inside. Koshkin pushed Sokov into the classroom and asked respectfully: "Comrade Captain, do you want to sit in the front row or in the back?"
"I think it's better to sit in the front." Sokov felt that if you want to listen to the class, it's best to get closer to the podium so that you can better listen to the teacher's teaching: "Sit in the front and you can hear it more clearly."
Koshkin nodded, went over to pull out a chair in the front row, and then pushed Sokov's wheelchair over. After doing all this, he said to Sokov respectfully: "Comrade Captain, please
Please wait here for a moment, I will go and report it for you."
"Thank you, Lieutenant Koshkin." Sokov nodded to the other party, smiled and said, "Thank you for everything you have done for me."
"You are so polite, Comrade Captain." Koshkin said with a smile: "It is my job to serve you. As long as you are satisfied with my work, I will be satisfied."
