Yang Mingzhi became the focus of everyone. As soon as he appeared, almost everyone in the auditorium gathered around to witness the legendary general's style.
"Oh, are you watching monkeys in the circus? Everyone, who are you?!"
Yang Mingzhi, who was caught in a slight embarrassment, woke up instantly and looked at the onlookers. Most of them were wearing suits with special badges hanging on their collars, and some even had medals pinned to their hearts.
"Everyone, please calm down and don't scare our general."
A familiar voice reached Yang Mingzhi's ears, and then, neatly dressed Lysenko gently pushed away the crowd and stood in front of Yang Mingzhi.
"Oh, dear Comrade Dean, it seems that the comrades are so enthusiastic?"
"Of course! Both Pravda and Izvestia reported on your deeds, and you are already known to everyone."
"So, they..."
"These are all friends who came to attend the honorary ceremony tailor-made for you." With that, Lysenko introduced the important people among the guests and friends.
It's terrible to hold an event and the scene is deserted. Now Yang Mingzhi would rather be deserted, do a brief ceremony, get a new honor, and seize the time to get down to business.
He initially glanced at this group of people. Most of the people who came were dressed in typical official attire. Maybe they were all officials of the Academy of Sciences?
Lysenko quickly got into the mood and began to introduce important people in the crowd one by one.
As Yang Mingzhi guessed, the main officials of the Academy of Sciences, the general heads of some departments, and even the general representative of the Academy of Sciences branch of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union all arrived. These more than ten people only have high status in the Academy of Sciences, and there are also a group of very important people in the crowd.
administrative official.
Mayor of Novosibirsk Sergey Ivanovich Umov.
First Secretary Vasily Semyonovich Toporov.
and some less important City Soviet personnel.
Due to work reasons, almost all important officials at the state level are in Tomsk, discussing with local comrades the work of Tomsk after it is separated from the Novosibirsk Oblast. Therefore, the state committee only sent a few clerks, for Belekov
The general participated in this ceremony with first-hand knowledge.
A mayor and a first secretary, looking at each other did not make Yang Mingzhi feel anything special. These two must be administrative veterans. Look at their shiny heads under the light, which fully proves that
In order to build the Soviet Union, they dedicated their whole lives of youth, as well as their hair.
There were also young people participating in the ceremony. A young man named Vladimir Fedorovich Manturov, with rare bright golden hair, really attracted Yang Mingzhi’s attention. This man was from Novosibirsk
The first secretary of the Prefecture Communist Youth League District Committee, he is the youngest among them all.
It's a good thing that young people are full of vitality, but after all, he only served in the Soviet Communist Youth League. This Manturov is quite handsome, and maybe his work ability is equally outstanding?
Yang Mingzhi had no intention of paying special attention to this person, and his decision at this moment ultimately cost him something.
Why?
For some people, their fate has not been changed by Yang Mingzhi's interference. The handsome Manturov is already twenty-eight years old. He has served as a senior cadre of the Communist Youth League for two years. After serving this term, he should be promoted to the new
position.
As expected, Manturov would be promoted in 1944, and his replacement would be a 24-year-old young man named Igor Kuzmichligachev.
If there is anyone who can stop Gorbachev from destroying the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, then Ligachev is probably the last few capable people who can save the building from collapse.
In that plane, Ligachev did not stop Gorbachev and watched the disintegration of the alliance and the fall of the red flag. When those things happened, he was already over seventy years old.
Now Ligachev is still studying at the Ordzhonikidze Aviation Academy near Moscow. None of Yang Mingzhi's activities will interfere with this person's promotion. This person will definitely be assigned to a city in Novosibirsk after graduation.
, assisted in the production of fighter jets as a lower-level cadre of the local Communist Youth League and an aircraft technician. Finally, in the 1944 general election, he was undoubtedly the senior official of the entire Novosibirsk Youth League district.
The disintegration of the alliance was a geological disaster. Before the disintegration, the leaders of the alliance fought openly and secretly, and their names were also known to Yang Mingzhi. After all, the map leader lived until 2020.
What about the experiences of these people when they were young? Yang Mingzhi knows nothing about it. For example, the young and handsome Manturov may have a better future. Maybe he will work for the country like the mayor and first secretary of Novosibirsk.
Dedicate your youth.
Yang Mingzhi does not feel that the local Communist Youth League organization can provide much help for his future scientific research.
Wait!
My wife still wears the badge of the Communist Youth League? It would be great if the local organization could help her.
After Lysenko introduced the people one by one, he said with a smile: "General, you see, everyone comes here to admire your famous places."
"That's great, thank you."
Yang Mingzhi kicked his leather boots and stood up straight, saluting everyone with a military salute.
"General, let's not delay and start the ceremony as soon as possible. We will have other things to implement until noon."
Is there anything else going on at noon? There are many other big things?
Yang Mingzhi was not mentally prepared for this. Perhaps there are still many administrative matters to be resolved? I hope they are not too lengthy.
…
The entire auditorium was decorated in a simple yet warm atmosphere, and in the red atmosphere, Lysenko held a speech written by his messenger and read aloud a disgusting article titled "Salute to the Great Military Strategist General Berekov."
Yes, this article did use a lot of adjectives. Yang Mingzhi stood on the side of the podium, with a lot of words of praise pouring into his mind. He thought about it with his toes and understood that the article was definitely not written by this old guy Lysenko.
"Could it be that there is still a fan of mine in the Academy of Sciences?" He could only guess this way.
How can we not have fans? A group of young scientists do not care about how many famous battles the generals fought on the front line. What is eye-catching are the two weapons that have been put into actual combat: the rocket-propelled grenade launch system and the ultra-long-range
rocket launcher.
Especially for rocket launchers, Liguschkov, the director of Factory 833 (the number of the factory where he is the director), was awarded the honor of being an academician of the Academy of Sciences. Most of the jealous people were completely relieved when they learned about the entire process of the launch experiment three days ago.
The five long-range rockets that took off from the launch test site on the outskirts of Novosibirsk each had a range of more than 40 kilometers. There is no doubt that Liguschkov was one of the developers. The leader ordered the recall of Belize
General Cove is the only core developer.
This article, whose wording was so disgusting that Yang Mingzhi felt that it was "praising someone", was drafted by the Political Department of the Academy of Sciences. They even invited Castliura and Feliudov, who were accompanying them and staying at the Academy of Sciences Hotel, for consultation.
Just because the accommodation conditions were so good, they wrote the article overnight, and the two of them dictated a bunch of praise for Yang Mingzhi.
The people under the podium were mobilized, especially the mayor and first secretary of Novosibirsk.
These two people also met General Berekov in person for the first time today. The general may continue to work in the city for a long time, so there will be a lot of time to deal with the general in the future.
Didn't he think so about Yang Mingzhi? So he listened to Lysenko's speech with his ears open, and his eyes couldn't help but pay attention to the two middle-aged men, and they even looked at each other.
"When this Lysenko thing is over, I will definitely have a long talk with you two. You'd better try your best to help me. It will also be good for you." Yang Mingzhi made plans for the next step in his mind.
Lysenko's speech was not lengthy, and his words finally came to a halt.
The scene was quiet for more than ten seconds.
"Comrades, this is our heroic Comrade Belekov, a true internationalist fighter and a true hero of the Soviet Union. Now, let's invite our hero to come forward and say a few words."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire auditorium burst into thunderous applause.
The applause suddenly interrupted Yang Mingzhi's thoughts, and he was cheered up.
"Huh? I still want to give a speech?"
"Of course! This is also part of the ceremony. Comrade General, please at least say a few words."
"Okay." Yang Mingzhi shrugged and tried his best to get into the mood.
A tall man with a large number of medals stands on the podium. He wears glasses and looks elegant. Anyone who knows him knows that this man has an excellent mind and extraordinary skills. There are only a handful of such talents in the league.
Yang Mingzhi straightened his chest and raised his chin. He did not speak rashly, but used the silence here to give everyone a serious shock.
"Haha, Comrade Lysenko is really overrated..."
As Yang Mingzhi spoke, the nervousness of the people in the audience finally eased.
"Indeed, I have been given many honors by the league and the people, and I have indeed made some contributions to the league and the people. Since my speech is a formality, I will take this opportunity to say more. I can achieve what I have today.
, First of all, I would like to thank Comrade Stalin for his discernment. He entrusted me with important responsibilities at a critical moment and gave me certain powers, so that I can realize my ambitions.
Secondly, I also want to thank the Soviet people for their support, my comrades who fought side by side, and everyone who supported and helped me. Comrade Lysenko, I thank you."
Having said this, Yang Mingzhi deliberately turned his face away, gave Lysenko a look and then continued to look at everyone in the audience.
"I would also like to thank you for participating in this ceremony and for making me feel the warmth of family.
Yes! The Soviet is a big family, and we are fighting for a common goal. Especially now, we are united to fight against the evil enemy who wants to control the entire earth. Each of us risks our strength in this just battle, maybe
, my personal dedication was slightly greater, so I received these medals, as well as the honor I will receive today.
Thanks to the recognition of leaders and people, as well as the recognition of everyone in the audience, I am willing to accept this new honor.
I learned that you are all important people in Novosibirsk City, and we will do our best to cooperate in the days to come.
I dare not live up to these honors and wish us a happy cooperation.
thank you all……"
Yang Mingzhi had a set of very polite speeches at his fingertips. He had an idea of what words to say would best please these people.
People, of course, what they like most are words of praise.
Through a humble speech, he supported Stalin, praised the Soviet people in battle, and was politically correct throughout the speech. In the end, he put his personal dedication at the end. In doing so, he was equivalent to treating the division commander of Novosibirsk
, the First Secretary, and even Lysenko were promoted to higher positions and easily won their favor.
Is the situation just that simple? Of course not.
Yang Mingzhi bowed deeply and murmured in his heart: "Felyudov, Kastellura, when you return to Moscow, you should give me a few kind words, right?"
He slowly stood up straight and heard thunderous applause from the audience.
"I'm so touched! I'm so moved that I almost cried!" Lysenko hurriedly came over, "Dear general, next is the ceremony to issue the certificate."
Finally, a cowhide-covered certificate was delivered to Yang Mingzhi. Under the spotlight, Yang Mingzhi became an honorary academician of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.
Outside of the ceremony, his name has been written on the list of academicians, alongside many outstanding scientists in the Soviet Union. Even without this ceremony, he would have become an honorary academician long ago.
Yang Mingzhi was not a scientist trained by the Soviet system, and he was even more astonishingly young. To obtain the title of academician of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, in peacetime one could only rely on qualifications or making any major scientific inventions. Science
It was discovered that obtaining the title of academician in his forties is already too young, and being so young makes others question his academic ability.
During the war, all red tape was erased. In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of Soviet scientists, medals, bonuses, and academician titles were distributed on a large scale during the war.
Liguschkov, on the other hand, received the formal title of academician of the Soviet Union, but there was very little water in it. This half-century-old man came into contact with the concept of rocket launchers when he was young.
At that time, the Tsarist Russian authorities had a pessimistic attitude towards their own technological level and did not want to launch such projects. However, Tsarist Russian scientists had already produced a bunch of "blueprint weapons", especially rocket launchers and early rocket engines. Liguschkov
The blacksmith village where he was located once made bullets for Tsarist Russia, and later became the arsenal of the Provisional Government, and then all of them voted for the Red Army.
He was fortunate enough to learn about the design blueprints of early rocket launchers, and finally, after the war broke out in 1941, he built a new weapon that seemed unreliable but actually workable.
Liguschkov never expected that a man from afar would unexpectedly develop a better and more powerful "Catfish" rocket launcher.
Yang Mingzhi, a foreigner who was naturalized only after obeying a death order, was finally given an "honorary" title. This was the result of research by Stalin and his close comrades to further commend his contribution.
"Honorary academician" is indeed different from academician. The vision is global. Most academies of sciences in major countries in the world have established the professional title or title of "honorary academician".
The so-called "We recognize your academic achievements and contribution to human society, so we give you an honorary title" and other explanations. In a sense, Yang Mingzhi's "honorary academician" is more valuable.
The ceremony is basically over here, and Lysenko has no intention of wasting too much time again, because there is still a dinner party waiting for everyone.
Lysenko stood on the podium again: "Everyone, it's getting late, and the buffet party should be ready. Let's set off. If you have any questions, you can ask our General Berekov at the dinner party. I think,
He won't refuse."
Indeed, some people had just told Yang Mingzhi with eager eyes that they had something to say.
Isn't this the case for Yang Mingzhi? But, is Lysenko going to have another very extravagant dinner party?
Is the luxury of ensuring food and drink really good in today's era? It is obvious that the common people are almost all eating potatoes to live a hard life, tightening their belts and squeezing out resources to supply the soldiers on the front line...
