Because of this admonishment, Abram's originally happy face calmed down, and he acted extremely serious.
Yang Mingzhi smiled: "Forget it! I'm not asking you to be a saint with other brothers, or even have contact with women. When you get to your destination, keep a normal mind. Remember, you are the person I carefully selected.
If you are recruited to the grassroots units, you will be the squad leader, so you can maintain your heroic appearance and integrity as a soldier at all times. In particular, you must remember that we are wearing sea soul shirts. We are actually internal security troops, and no one is allowed to blaspheme."
"Yes! Sir!" Abram responded seriously at first, and then muttered: "Sir! Only political commissars can say these things. I didn't expect you to be able to do this."
"Yes, Comrade Commissioner, and our municipal committee member Yelentina, all said that I can serve as a political commissar, or a military commander and a political commissar combined into one, just like our front army commander Timoshenko
.”
Abram listened carefully. Although the guard company was responsible for the safety of the division, he and his men basically took orders from Yang Mingzhi. This was because of this relationship and because he himself was sitting in the co-pilot. This was simply
It was the deputy division commander who drove for him personally. In fact, this was to satisfy the deputy division commander's desire to drive. Thinking about it from another perspective, this was considered a very high courtesy.
Therefore, with nothing to do, Abram became bolder in speaking.
His words were directed at the current division commander Yevlov: "Sir! We all think that the division commander is a mediocre person! As we all know, your army is not what it is today. It may be just because you are a foreigner, so you cannot serve as
Commander! Now there is another commissioner, so you are suppressed even more!"
"Shut up! This is not something you should consider!" Yang Mingzhi shouted angrily.
Abram wanted to express his grievances for the superior, but he clearly realized that he was flattering the superior, and what would follow would be a lot of criticism from the superior. However, the superior did not say anything, curled his lips and fell silent.
At this moment, Yang Mingzhi had to recall what Lyudebalev said before, as well as Salinchkin's thoughtful words.
After all, this is the Soviet Union, and the Soviets have a natural distrust of foreigners. What they need is foreigners' skills. If the foreigner believes in the Bolsheviks, he will naturally be very popular. But he is still a foreigner!
The political struggle within the Soviet Union was very complex, and the struggle did not end until its disintegration.
As for Yevlov, this man is his brother. He is very self-aware and does not need Abram to point out his mediocrity. At the moment, mediocrity is not actually a disadvantage. This kind of mediocre person is precisely because of his lack of
He is resourceful and lacks independent opinions, and will often resolutely execute orders. As a fierce general, his troops must advance without retreating and obey orders completely. He can be called a military model.
Maybe Abram's words were just to address an injustice, but its content is indeed worth pondering.
Yang Mingzhi hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Abram, it is wrong to talk about your superiors. Moreover, I can even say that you are trying to sow discord between me and the teacher! Do you know the sin in this? Your remarks are very
Danger!"
"Ah?" Abram was so shocked that he didn't close his mouth for a long time, and the submachine gun he was holding fell under his feet.
Yang Mingzhi continued to chase and slap him in the face: "No matter what your purpose is, these remarks alone will disturb the morale of the army. If Yelentina finds out, what do you think she will do to you?"
"Yes... it's the death penalty!" Abram regretted deeply. What did he mean by saying these words? He had caused a lot of trouble for himself. He looked sideways at his superior, wanting to defend himself, but he didn't know how to say it.
.
Yang Mingzhi glanced at him and continued to drive, shouting in a low voice: "Abram, you have been following me for a while! You and other brothers are my personal guards, and I have always trusted you.
Look at your current situation, I am the deputy division commander and you are a private, and I will drive for you! I treat you as a brother."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"So don't cause trouble for me! Do your own thing, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't see what you shouldn't see. If you think my superiors are treating me unfairly, you don't need to discuss it. If you think any female soldier is beautiful, you have to tighten your grip.
Waistband. Your only task is to do your part."
At this point, Yang Mingzhi suddenly turned his head, his eyes bright. "Comrade, the expansion of the army is inevitable. I will be promoted, and you will be promoted too! When the time comes, I will command larger-scale operations.
Achieve greater victory. And you, I will give you the opportunity to make meritorious deeds."
Some of the words were very rough. In Yang Mingzhi's view, today's Abram actually behaved like a loyal dog protecting his owner. Maybe this guy is really willing to be a ferocious "hunting dog".
After leaving the village, the road inevitably became bumpy. For safety reasons, a large distance was kept between the vehicles. Yang Mingzhi drove a jeep as the leader, and this conversation was not heard by others.
Abram and his men are indeed his own bodyguards, and they will also listen to Yelentina's orders. To survive in the Soviet Union, one must be shrewd, and Yang Mingzhi must consider Yelentina's tentacles. What Abram said
"Fighting against injustice" is too purposeful, as if someone is teaching him, such as Yelentina or Salinchkin, they are both NKVD.
Regardless of whether Abram has a hidden identity or not, he has made his attitude clear and straightened his butt.
…
The road the convoy was driving on was the same road that the wild boar took a few days ago, and since then there have been no pigs in this area.
The southern forest area is swampy and has abundant water and grass. As a result, there are many mushrooms. The "mushroom picking operation" has no official end time at all. At present, the military's large-scale collection operation has ended, and ordinary people are still going into the forest in their free time.
Because according to regulations, at present, ordinary villagers complete their daily work and exchange coupons for limited bread, but they actually don’t have enough to eat. The forest near the village will be swept away on a large scale and the picking speed even exceeds the growth rate. Many people can only go far away
Look for Agaricus bisporus.
So along the way, Yang Mingzhi occasionally saw mushroom pickers like this - picking mushrooms as a side job in their free time while taking care of the responsible fields.
"When potatoes are produced on a large scale, people won't need to worry about it anymore." Regarding the future, Yang Mingzhi secretly hopes that whether the potato harvest will explode will depend on chemical fertilizers?
The mushroom pickers gradually disappeared from sight. During the subsequent driving, no one was seen again. It was not until about two o'clock in the afternoon that a new figure appeared in sight.
After driving for a long time and having to endure the bumps, Yang Mingzhi felt somewhat listless. After seeing the new figure, he not only became energetic, but also looked sideways and stepped on the accelerator.
The huge wheels of the jeep at the head of the group kicked up a lot of mud, and regardless of the bumps, it rushed towards the two men.
Even if he couldn't see clearly, Yang Mingzhi knew that they were two women. They were wearing military uniforms. Finding such women here can only mean that the hot spring area has arrived!
The jeep came running wildly, followed by a large number of trucks, and the whole earth shook. The woman subconsciously dodged a few steps back, moved away from the middle of the road, stood on the road and stretched out her right hand to shield herself from the sun and look into the distance.
Yang Mingzhi could conclude that these two people should be the handlers arranged by the defenders of the hot spring area.
"Abram, don't you think it's interesting? Joshua sent female soldiers to greet us."
Abram didn't dare to make any nonsense about this ridicule, so he just hummed.
"Oh? Are you still worried about what happened just now? Forget it, these two women will get on the bus soon and they will be our guides."
