Sokov was completely speechless. The medals I wore and the new military uniforms I took out were all picked up on the road. If you have the ability, can you also pick up a few medals and a few sets of military uniforms for me to try?
He rolled his eyes at the two of them and said angrily: "Pokryshkin and I just went to the racecourse to attend the medal ceremony. My medal and military uniform were obtained at the medal ceremony, but
It’s not something you can just pick up somewhere.”
Hearing what Sokov said, Andrei and Dennis immediately changed their faces and said with a smile: "Comrade company commander, please accept our congratulations on winning the highest-level Medal of Honor and on being with the company."
A military rank equivalent to your ability."
"Thank you!" After expressing his gratitude to the two of them, Sokov continued: "I will leave tomorrow. The chance of us meeting again is very slim. You should take care of yourself."
When he heard Sokov talking about leaving again, Andre showed a reluctant expression on his face. After all, he had been dealing with Sokov for the longest time. He asked tentatively: "Sokov, how about...
Ask General Vlasov again, can you let me go to Kiev with you?"
Sokov quickly waved his hand and said: "Andrei, I have asked General Vlasov a long time ago. He said that he would only take me and his guards to Kiev, and the rest will stay at the garrison headquarters.
.Since the general has issued the order, you just need to carry it out." As he said this, he was thinking in his heart that he had a narrow escape from death this time when he went to Kiev, so you should not cause trouble and stay here honestly.
Let's live a peaceful life in Moscow.
Not only Andrei was reluctant to leave Sokov, but also Second Lieutenant Dennis had the same mentality. He reluctantly asked: "Is it really impossible to make Comrade General change his mind?" He knew very well that after he was captured by the Germans,
He would have faced a very tragic fate, but he was rescued by the single-handed Sokov. Not only was Sokov his savior, he also seemed to be a blessed general. If he could stay with him for a long time, he might be able to fight in the war.
Live longer.
Unexpectedly, Sokov's reaction was beyond his expectation: "Second Lieutenant Dennis, I just said that Comrade General will only take me and his guards back to Kiev, and the rest can only stay in Moscow. This is his
Orders. As a soldier, you should know very well that we cannot discuss the orders of our superiors and can only obey them unconditionally."
"Okay," seeing that there was no room for change in this matter, Dennis could only accept his fate: "I will obey General Vlasov's order and continue to stay at the garrison headquarters."
After Andre and Dennis led the team away, Pokryshkin once again found a chance to speak: "Misha, you are leaving early tomorrow morning. Shouldn't you go find someone to say goodbye?"
Sokov was stunned: "Alexander, what do you mean?"
"When I came to the garrison headquarters, I saw you and a policewoman talking by the wall not far away." Pokryshkin said with a half-smile: "I think the relationship between you two is very unusual.
Since you are leaving, shouldn't you say goodbye to her?"
Pokryshkin's words reminded Sokov that his life or death in Kiev was uncertain this time. If he didn't inform Victoria in advance, she would definitely be worried when she came to look for him but didn't find him. After all, she also knew about the Battle of Kiev.
The ending. Go and say goodbye to her by yourself, and explain it clearly to her by the way, so that she can have peace of mind.
Sokov first went back to his house and changed into a new military uniform, then borrowed a jeep and sped towards the police station where Victoria was located.
When he arrived at the police station, he asked the policeman on duty at the door: "Comrade policeman, I am looking for a female policeman named Victoria. Where can I find her?"
The policeman glanced at the military rank on Sokov's collar badge, quickly stood at attention, raised his hand and saluted: "Hello, Comrade Captain."
After raising his hand in return, Sokov asked again: "I want to find Victoria. Where can I find her?"
"I'm sorry, Comrade Captain." The policeman replied, "She is not in the station and has gone outside to maintain order."
"Do you know the specific place?"
"The bakery to the east." The policeman pointed to the east and said, "Her group should maintain order there."
After thanking the police, Sokov drove towards the bakery, hoping to find Victoria as soon as possible.
After driving along the road for a while, Sokov saw a long queue on the street in front of him, which must be people buying bread. He quickly slowed down and tried to find Victoria among the policemen maintaining order.
traces.
Soon, he saw Victoria standing in front of the store. At this moment, she was holding a baton and shouting loudly at the citizens who were queuing, asking those who tried to jump in line to return to their original positions.
Sokov parked the car not far from Victoria, rolled down the passenger side window, and shouted at Victoria: "Vika! Vika!"
Victoria, who was busy maintaining order, did not hear Sokov's shout. It was not until a colleague next to her reminded her that she noticed Sokov in the jeep on the roadside. She quickly ran over, bent down and looked into the car and asked.
: "Misha, what's going on?"
Sokov reached out and pushed open the car door and said to Victoria: "Vika, get in the car, I have something to say to you."
Victoria hesitated for a moment, then bent down and got into the car. After closing the door, she accidentally discovered the military rank on Sokov's collar badge: "Hey, when did you obtain the rank of captain?" Then she saw Soko again.
He saw the Order of Lenin on his husband's chest, and his face was suddenly shocked, "Also, where did your Order of Lenin come from?"
"I went to the racecourse in the afternoon to attend the medal ceremony. The medals and military ranks were all obtained at the medal ceremony." After briefly explaining the origins of the medals and military ranks, Sokov continued: "I came here today to look for
You, because I will leave Moscow early tomorrow morning."
"What, you are leaving Moscow?" Victoria asked in surprise: "Where are you going?"
"Kiev." Sokov said bluntly: "Vlasov asked me to follow him to Kiev. I couldn't refuse, so I had to agree. Tomorrow morning, we will set off for Kiev, and I came here specifically to say hello to you.
Farewell."
"What, you are going to Kiev?" Victoria was shocked when she learned that Sokov was going to Kiev: "Are you crazy? Don't you know that the Battle of Kiev is about to begin, and the tragedy of the Southwest Front being almost completely annihilated?
Are you ready? If you go to Kiev at this time, you are going to die."
"I don't know about this, but I have no choice." Sokov said helplessly: "The superior has issued an order, and I can only obey it unconditionally."
Victoria raised her head to the window, called a colleague to fly, and told him: "I have to leave for a while, and I will leave it to you to take charge of."
Then she pulled her head back and said to Sokov: "Drive, find a secluded place, and let's continue chatting."
Sokov knew that although the two of them were sitting in a car, some of what they said would inevitably be heard by people passing by the car. If they wanted to talk about important things, it was best to find a secluded place.
Driving to the entrance of a deserted alley, Victoria asked Sokov to stop the car, and then said with a worried face: "Misha, we came to this era together, what should I do if something happens to you?
?”
"Vika, actually I have been thinking about this." Sokov said slowly: "I came back to the future after being seriously injured. What if I had an accident on the battlefield in Kiev and was seriously injured or
Sacrifice, will it return to the future again?"
"You have returned to the future, what should I do?" Victoria asked with red eyes: "Do you have the heart to leave me alone and live alone in a strange era?"
Sokov was silent. He didn't know whether the two of them would return to the future at the cost of one person being injured or killed, or two people being injured or killed, so he couldn't answer Victoria's question.
"Have you seen the movie We Came from the Future?"
"Yes, I have." Sokov nodded and said, "I have watched both the first and second parts."
"Do you remember how they traveled through time?"
"In the first part, while the four of them were digging for treasure, they found a wooden box with four military ID cards inside. The photos on it were exactly the same as theirs. The four of them thought they were drunk, so they jumped into the river.
I went swimming to sober up, but unexpectedly I was transported to the battlefield of the Great Patriotic War.
In the second part, the four of them participated in an activity for military fans. Two companions found a bomb left over from World War II in an abandoned bunker. As a result, the other two companions joked with them and threw a firecracker in, which led to
The bomb exploded, blowing the four of them back to the Great Patriotic War."
"You seem to have neglected the time-travel conditions in the first part." After Victoria waited for Sokov to finish, she reminded him: "Don't forget, they also met an old lady holding a milk can. The old lady asked
They helped search for their missing son, and several people who were drunk at the time agreed. I think this should be a prerequisite for them to travel through time. Later, they found the old lady's son and retrieved the precious cigarette case.
When you walk into the river again, you are back to the present."
When Sokov heard what Victoria said, he immediately guessed what the other party was going to say, and asked cautiously: "You mean, the reason why the two of us crossed over was because we fell into a big pit in the underground passage. As long as we fall into it again
In that pit, is it possible to return to the future?"
Before Victoria could say anything, Sokov was about to start the vehicle and head to the location of Hovlin Hospital to explore.
Then his intention was seen through by Victoria. Victoria shook her head and said: "Misha, Hoflin Hospital was built in 1980, and it is still a forest there. Even if you go there, it will be a waste of time. You can't find it at all."
Any useful clues."
"How do you know?" Sokov looked at Victoria and asked, "Have you been there?"
"That's right." Victoria nodded and said in a positive tone: "The day after I traveled here, I drove there by myself, and when I got there, I discovered that there was still a dense forest there."
"Vika, since we have no way to go back to the future for the time being, we can only try our best to survive in today's era." Sokov looked at Victoria and said: "Maybe one day, under the circumstances of a strange combination of circumstances, we can achieve this goal.
By establishing the conditions for returning to the future, we can return to our era."
"I hope so." Victoria's mood seemed very low: "What I am most worried about now is you. The place you are going to is too dangerous, and you may lose your life at any time. Don't you really want to stay?
"
"Vika, have you ever thought about it," Sokov said to Victoria after thinking for a while: "Maybe it's not the best choice for me to stay in Moscow."
"Why, why do you say that?"
"We all come from the future, and there are many taboos in this era that we don't even know about." Sokov reminded Victoria: "Maybe a sentence we think is normal may bring us trouble. In the end, I was sent to punishment
camp, and you were imprisoned in the Gulag."
Victoria asked unconvinced: "You haven't traveled through time before, so why didn't the situation you mentioned happen?"
"Yes, I did come to this era before." Sokov said with a serious expression: "But I spend most of my time on the front line. Even if I occasionally say something wrong, the person who hears me will either live or die with me.
My comrades-in-arms, or they died on the battlefield shortly after hearing this, without any chance to report me."
Victoria sat in the car in silence for a long time, and finally nodded slowly and said: "Misha, after you go to Kiev, you must be more careful. When you have a chance to escape, you must not hesitate. You can not care about what others do, but you
You must save your own life first. Do you understand?"
"Well, I understand." In order to reassure Victoria, Sokov even forced a smile on his face and said: "Don't forget, although Vlasov was appointed as the commander of the 37th Army and also the commander of the base garrison,
But during the Battle of Kiev, he successfully escaped from the encirclement. As his bodyguard, it should be possible for me to escape smoothly."
Victoria opened her arms, hugged Sokov, put her face against Sokov's chest, and whispered: "Misha, promise me you will come back safely."
"Don't worry, Vika." In order to reassure Victoria, Sokov assured her: "I will pay attention to safety. I promise you that as long as I return to Moscow, I will go to the police station to find you as soon as possible.
Yes, to let you know that I am still alive."
Victoria sat up straight and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands. After her emotions returned to normal, she said to Sokov: "Okay, Misha, take me back."
Sokov drove Victoria back to the location of the bakery. He turned around and said, "Vika, you're here, let's say goodbye."
Victoria nodded, opened the car door, and walked to the bakery without looking back. Although she was very reluctant to leave Sokov, she knew better that she could not look back. Once she turned back, she was worried that she would not be able to control her emotions.
When Sokov saw Victoria returning to his post and starting to maintain order again, he sighed softly and whispered: "Vika, take care, I will come back alive to see you." After saying that, he started again.
The vehicle drove towards the garrison headquarters.
