"What, Northern Cluster?" Before Sokov could say anything, Yakov rushed to say: "That unit with its headquarters in Warsaw?"
"Yes, Yasha, your guess is correct." Rokossovsky said to Yakov: "According to the provisions of the Soviet-Polish Treaty of Friendship, Mutual Assistance and Post-War Cooperation signed in Moscow on April 21, 1945
, the Supreme Command issued Order No. 11096, deciding to form the Northern Cluster on May 29, 1945, to manage and control the Soviet armed forces in Poland. The headquarters was located in Legnica, Poland, and was commanded by the Second Belarusian Front.
Adapted from part.
According to your father's arrangement, I should have gone there to take office in July last year, but due to too many things in Moscow, I was delayed. After the conference held in the past few days is over, I will officially take office. Also,
The headquarters was also moved from Legnica to Warsaw."
After Rokossovsky briefly introduced the situation, he looked at Sokov and asked: "Misha, what do you think?"
Sokov thought to himself that he had rushed to Berlin under Zhukov's arrangement a few months ago. He thought he could serve as Malinin's deputy. Unexpectedly, after arriving, he discovered that the position promised by Zhukov had already been assigned by the Supreme Command.
And Malinin was also transferred to Austria to take up a new position. He was bitten by a snake and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Last time he rushed all the way to Berlin but failed. This time he followed Rokossovsky to Warsaw.
, who can guarantee that similar situations will not happen again?
Sokov was silent for a few words, sighed softly, and said: "Comrade Marshal, thank you for your kindness. I want to stay in Moscow these two years and spend time with my wife. Since the accident at the beginning of the year, her mental state has deteriorated.
It's always been bad. If I'm not with her for a long time, I'm worried that something will happen to her."
On the day Asiya had a car accident, Rokossovsky was also present, so he knew exactly what happened. At this moment, when he heard Sokov using Asiya as a shield, he could only sigh helplessly and said
: "Okay, Misha, since you don't want to, I won't force you. Just stay in Moscow and stay with Asya. I hope that one day in the future, you can come to help me again."
"I'll do my best."
Sokov rejected Rokossovsky's invitation, which surprised Yakov. If Sokov had rejected Zhukov's invitation before, it would have made sense. After all, Zhukov was not Sokov's direct leader.
The relationship between Sokov and Rokossovsky is much closer. According to Yakov’s imagination, if he were Sokov and heard Rokossovsky’s proposal, if he hesitated for a second,
That's all disrespect to Rokossovsky.
But what is shocking is that Sokov actually rejected Rokossovsky’s invitation and chose to stay in Moscow. What was going on in his mind?
But in front of Rokossovsky, these words could not be asked.
After finally coming out of Rokossovsky's ward and returning to his car, Yakov asked: "Misha, I don't understand why you refused Marshal Rokossovsky's offer.
Where's the invitation? Actually, I think it's not a bad thing for you to go to Warsaw, at least you can get out of the invisible whirlpool."
"I'm not worried about Asia."
"Pull him down, Asia is just an excuse for you." Who knows, Yakov interrupted him: "I think you must have deeper considerations. There are only two of us here, if you have anything to say, just say it directly
Tell me."
"Poland is too chaotic." Sokov sighed softly and said: "The last time I went to Berlin, when I passed through Poland, I was attacked by gangs. If the reinforcements hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have told them where
Well. Karina’s father originally went to Berlin to take office, but unfortunately he died at the gunpoint of a gang.”
"Misha, you didn't listen to Comrade Marshal. The troops of the Northern Cluster were adapted from your original Second Belarusian Front. From the headquarters to the grassroots, you have countless familiar people. With their cooperation, it will be very important for you in the future.
It is very beneficial to carry out the work." Yakov continued to persuade: "So I think you should think about it carefully, and it is best to accept Marshal Rokossovsky's suggestion."
"Yasha, I just said that the situation in Poland is too chaotic." Sokov said seriously: "Our troops have to face not only the remaining armed forces that colluded with the Germans, but also those who are hostile to us.
Polish people. Although our propaganda slogans refer to friendly Polish people, there are still many Poles who resist us. If I were to command the battle, I would have no problem, because I know where the enemy is. But
If I were asked to manage these places, I would be somewhat powerless because I would not be able to distinguish who is an enemy and who is a friend. This is the reason why I rejected Marshal Rokossovsky."
Yakov fell silent after hearing this, and finally nodded slowly: "Misha, maybe you are right. Managing a place is definitely more difficult than occupying it."
On the way back to the British Embassy, the car passed a theater. Yakov parked the car on the side of the road, pointed to the poster on the wall, and said to Sokov: "Misha, look, this theater is also performing a play.
"The Dawns Here Are Quiet". To be honest, I saw this play of yours in a theater a few days before we entered the military camp. Although I was one of the earliest readers, I don't know how.
, I still felt sad when I saw the five female soldiers dying one by one."
Sokov smiled slightly and then said: "Tragedy can leave a deeper impression on people."
Yakov pointed to the door and asked tentatively: "Misha, how about the two of us go in and watch a show?"
"Forget it," Sokov shook his head and said, "Firstly, time does not permit it, and secondly, I am worried that I will burst into tears when I see a touching place. Let's forget it."
When he said this, Sokov couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart. He remembered that he had promised Kopalova to accompany her to watch this play when he had time, but more than two months had passed and he had not fulfilled his promise. I don't know.
Does Kopalova think of herself as a big liar?
Since Sokov didn't want to watch the drama, Yakov didn't force himself. He restarted the vehicle and headed towards the British Embassy. He asked casually: "Misha, do you think we are in this damn embassy?
How long?"
"Yasha, if you want to know the specific answer, you can ask your father." Sokov said: "As long as he gives an order, we can withdraw from the embassy at any time."
"Hey, what a pity." Yakov sighed and said: "The elite troops we mobilized have been training for so long. They originally planned to perform well at the victory parade in London, but due to various reasons, they failed.
The plan to go to the UK was cancelled, and the commanders and soldiers were a little depressed when they found out about it."
"Let them go." Sokov said calmly: "Maybe someday British soldiers will try to rush out of the building, let our soldiers beat them up, and the morale of the soldiers will become worse again.
Lift your spirits high."
Returning to the duty room of the embassy, Asia came in and asked with concern: "Have you seen Marshal Rokossovsky?"
"Yes, we saw it," Sokov replied briefly.
"Asiya, you don't know that the sentry on duty at the door did not allow anyone to go in to visit the marshal." Yakov said proudly: "Later, Yakov and I climbed through the window and entered the building, and then we successfully entered the building.
Met Marshal Rokossovsky."
"How is the Marshal's health?"
"It was just a minor stroke. After rescue, he is fine and has no sequelae." Sokov said briefly: "Maybe he will be discharged from the hospital in two days."
"It's okay, it's okay." Asiya said to Sokov while rejoicing: "Misha, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. When you were still in Berlin, Rokoso
Marshal Vski once called home and said that he hoped you could go to the Northern Cluster and serve as his deputy. Since you came back from Berlin late, I forgot to tell you about this. I hope you don't mind.
"
"I don't mind, I don't mind." Sokov opened his arms and hugged Asiya: "I don't want to go anywhere, so I will stay at home with you."
But what is shocking is that Sokov actually rejected Rokossovsky’s invitation and chose to stay in Moscow. What was going on in his mind?
But in front of Rokossovsky, these words could not be asked.
After finally coming out of Rokossovsky's ward and returning to his car, Yakov asked: "Misha, I don't understand why you refused Marshal Rokossovsky's offer.
