Chapter seven hundred and forty-ninth Salinchkin's concession
"Let's go! Berekov, since we are not at the division headquarters tomorrow, we have to say hello to Salinchkin. Originally we sent someone to inform the team, but since Yelentina has already gone to report, what do you think about the food problem?
I think that person would be willing to talk to you."
Hearing what Yevlov said, Yang Mingzhi also felt that he needed to go there.
It's evening, and the canteen hasn't opened for dinner yet. If possible, it would be best to explain these things today.
On the other hand, Yelentina urgently wrote a report and came to the municipal committee in time with her notebook under her arm. Because the two of them were in a superior-subordinate relationship, she did not have to be too reserved in front of this middle-aged man.
Regarding the warehouse, she made a detailed report, and naturally also explained the potato matter.
"That man wants to ration bread to all citizens? This actually does not comply with the regulations! All flour is for military use, and flour can only be supplied to soldiers and people performing combat duties in the arsenal!" Salinchkin looked so determined, which is really true.
This made Yelentina a little worried.
But he squinted his eyes and thought for a while. He still had to listen to Lyudbalev's opinion on this matter.
Times have changed now. Working with this airborne Ministry of Internal Affairs official, Lyudbalev always feels that he is his subordinate. He is obviously the mayor of Gomel! This is the Gomel city district in Belarus.
Lekov has great kindness to the Belarusian people. Therefore, when faced with the news about Salinchkin, he naturally stood beside Yang Mingzhi.
Lyudbarev had a very good reason. He explained: "We must pay attention to a situation now, which is dogmatism. The leader is not very clear about our situation here, and cannot simply apply the new regulations formulated by the leader. Since after investigation, supply to civilians
The potatoes are about to run out, and we must use our grain stocks. It would be unscientific at least now to say that all flour is supplied to the army and therefore civilians are treated differently.
Because, do we still have civilians here in the strict sense? Today's Novgomel is more like a state where all the people are soldiers. From the age of thirteen to sixty, regardless of gender, as long as they can take up arms, they are considered militiamen.
We give bread to the militiamen as a matter of course! Just from practical considerations, the best quality food is naturally supplied to the troops who are best at fighting."
Salinchkin was a little unhappy. These people got angry and questioned the leader's decision-making! Thinking about it from another angle, this Lyudbalev had been an official in Gomel for a long time. At the most difficult moment of the battle, he not only
Instead of fleeing, he organized a resistance army to save the country. This was a man who spoke with great weight, especially when he mentioned "dogmatism". Asking himself, Salinchkin suddenly realized that he seemed to be making a mistake, because this place was occupied
District!
The special situation here determines that although it was actually liberated by the legal Soviet government, it does not necessarily have to fully implement Soviet policies. Because the German army is fully capable of organizing a large army to sweep across here, how the soldiers and civilians survive is the most critical.
Lyudbalev once again emphasized: "I support Berekov. In any case, it is very necessary to replace the potatoes in the rationing system with bread. When we harvest new potatoes in May, all food problems will be solved."
It will be solved easily. We will change the rationing standards at that time."
The mayor has made his statement, and so have the three senior officers and political commissars of the 84th Guards Division. What else is there to refute now? Salinchkin knows that it can be vetoed because it violates the regulations. At this moment, it is rational
Swaying him and categorically rejecting it is tantamount to artificially creating conflicts and is suicide!
After all, he agreed with Yang Mingzhi's decision and closed the notebook and returned it to Yelentina.
"I understand your report! We in the Soviet Union cannot speak out loud, and we must be even more cautious when it comes to the entire food issue in Novgomel. Since all the senior staff except me support Belekov's suggestion, I naturally
Yes. It’s just that the details are debatable. For example, when we supply bread to civilians, the rations for adults and children are definitely different.”
A stone fell in Yelentina's heart. She said with a smile: "So Comrade Berekov has to come in person to do this! In addition, mushrooms will theoretically start to grow tomorrow. Now any
We must not miss any opportunity to obtain food. I have ordered the soldiers and civilians still in the forest to pay attention to the roots of all big trees and collect all the mushrooms they can find."
Salinchkin's frown suddenly relaxed, and he nodded: "I really forgot that mushrooms can also fill your stomach! You did a good job, now go and rest. Since it was you who ordered us to pick mushrooms
, so you also set an example."
"What? Are you asking me to carry the basket into the forest tomorrow?" Yelentina was very surprised.
"No! Of course not! You can stay in your office for me, but if those Communist Youth League members under you are comrades who are not busy with work, I hope they will not waste time. After all, you cannot eat mushrooms when they are old."
Elena smiled and saluted: "I promise to complete the mission!"
After saying that, the woman turned around and left the municipal party committee office with a smile on her face.
The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have never been monolithic, but its job is to maintain the rule of the Soviet Union with a clear-cut stand. The power of the Soviet Union comes from the Bolsheviks, but also from all workers. Yelentina is very satisfied, ordinary civilians will be able to eat and
Soldier-like bread, which was no less than a delicacy in the war years, simply showed to tens of thousands of people that the living conditions in Novgomel are now so good that everyone can be rationed with the best food! Morale will thus rise significantly.
, which is equally important to the military.
She was in a happy mood and skipped to the division headquarters. She was so happy that she didn't mind getting splashed with mud. Yelentina looked like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, even though she was already twenty-six years old.
Her scene happened to be seen by Yang Mingzhi and Yevlov who were about to rush to the division headquarters.
"Hehe! It seems that your woman reported very well. She must have been praised by her boss." Yang Mingzhi teased.
"Yes, I have only seen her look so happy in bed!" Yevlov fantasized about Yelentina for a while, then called this "happy female rabbit" to his side and decisively
Asked: "How was it? Your report?"
"Of course there is no problem." The smiling Yelentina immediately turned her head and said to Yang Mingzhi: "By the way, Belekov. The commissioner has agreed to replace potatoes with bread in civilian rations.
In fact, after weighing the pros and cons, the municipal committee has no doubts at all. The only problem now is some details. It seems that you two are planning to go to the municipal committee?"
Yang Mingzhi also felt a stone fall in his heart, and his original nervousness disappeared.
He replied: "Yes, since there will be mushrooms growing tomorrow, I will definitely not be idle. Our food is still tight, so I feel it is necessary to collect it myself."
"Very good! The commissioner also supports mushroom picking! And I can see that the middle-aged man with the reflective head is also very experienced in mushroom picking! So you'd better hurry over, he does have something to say."
The purpose of chatting with Salinchkin was to chat with him, but that person couldn't help but speak in an official tone. Both Salinchkin and Lyudbalev had this problem, so chatting always seemed like a meeting. Anyway, it's not better than it used to be, No.
Novgomel is no longer the Novgomel of the 84th Guards Division. As its name suggests, it is "New Gomel", which is the same as the Gomel Oblast of the Belarusian Soviet Republic. Although it is small, it has all the internal organs.
, all kinds of matters will have to be held in meetings in the future.
Sure enough, life was better than before! At least even though I was only the deputy division commander and chief of staff, Yelentina and Yevlov had to listen to me!
Is there anything that would make a man more happy if he has power in his own hands?!
