Sarinchkin did not hesitate any longer and continued to read loudly: "With the approval of the Defense Committee, Peter Ivanovich Berekov has been appointed commander of the 63rd Army, and Semyon Grigorynov has been appointed.
Chi Yevlov serves as deputy commander."
He had already hinted at this result, so Yang Mingzhi was not overly surprised. But Yevlov, who was originally a regiment commander, was already a great honor to be promoted to division commander, and now he was actually appointed as deputy commander, which shocked him all over.
Trembling.
This appointment is astonishing! The majority of attendees who were immersed in excitement were not only shocked by this appointment, but also puzzled. People were talking about it for no other reason than Yang Mingzhi, who was not a Soviet citizen.
So, how can a foreigner hold such a big position as the commander of a group army? Even if everyone respects, admires and even loves him from the bottom of their hearts, he is still a foreigner after all!
In the noise, Yang Mingzhi quickly identified these doubts. He was not angry at such discussion, in fact he was just as confused - because when this appointment was implemented, he was really going to become a historical figure.
Just imagine, no matter what your future is, in the history of World War II in this dimension, a Chinese appeared in the Soviet Red Army, and he served as the group commander to fight against the German army! What a romantic and legendary story this is, you are really writing history!
Salinchkin was also very aware that once he made such an announcement, it would definitely arouse controversy. He coughed into the microphone a few more times, silenced the venue, and asked the two people to go to the front desk and explain this important document.
"Comrades! The appointment of Comrades Berekov and Comrade Yevlov is a decision of the National Defense Committee and approved by leader Comrade Stalin. We cannot question the leader's decision.
I have just heard that because Comrade Belekov is Chinese, is it inappropriate for him to hold such a key position? Such remarks are obviously wrong. This is a decision made by superiors and everyone must agree! If anyone else expresses
Doubts and unrealistic discussions are against military discipline and law!
But I know that you are still somewhat reluctant in your hearts. That is because Comrade Berekov is Chinese, not a Soviet citizen. If he were a Soviet citizen, there may still be doubts, and it will also turn into doubts about his command ability.
That’s all!
Please note that the leaders have noticed this. Today the Soviet Union and China are in a strategic alliance, and it is completely moral to have the fighting heroes of allied countries as our senior officers. Furthermore, is this situation unique? As early as 1812 Wei
During the Russian War, there was no shortage of foreign officers in the Tsarist Russian army. Therefore, the decisions of the leaders and the National Defense Committee not only have historical basis, but are also our best choice now.
Comrade Belekov has proven his talents. He is an important decision-maker in Novgomel and a military leader who continues our fight. He has served as deputy for a long time, which is completely inconsistent with his strength.
For these reasons, the leader believes that only by promoting him to a full-time position and giving him real power to lead the military in the huge guerrilla zone of Novgomel can we better attack the enemy. Therefore, he is hereby appointed!"
At this point, Yang Mingzhi clearly realized that he didn't need to say anything anymore because Salinchkin had already explained everything that could be explained.
This person mentioned the Patriotic War of 1812. I only knew a little bit about those ancient histories. In short, under the influence of the European Enlightenment, many knowledgeable people in Europe went to Russia and served as officers, especially Barclay de Tory.
This Marshal of Tsarist Russia is a Scotsman himself!
The reason why the Soviet-German war is called the "Great Patriotic War" by the Russians is to distinguish the "Patriotic War of 1812" from the "Great Patriotic War". In that war more than a hundred years ago, the Soviets
They know it, because that is their history. It is very ironic to say that the main battlefield of the war at that time was also in Belarus!
After talking about Yang Mingzhi, Salinchkin introduced Yevlov again, because many people present only knew that he was promoted by the regiment leader. Salinchkin introduced Yevlov.
As for his resume, what he said is quite satisfactory.
First of all, he is a complete veteran. In the 1920s, he was promoted from the most ordinary private to battalion commander based on his qualifications.
He was promoted to the commander of the infantry regiment during the great expansion of the army before the outbreak of the war, and then participated in all the wars in which the 284th Division participated until now.
Because the brilliance of Yang Mingzhi has completely overshadowed this man, Salinchkin said: "The National Defense Committee believes that Comrade Yevlov is a calm and calm soldier and a soldier who can always implement orders, so he
Serve as deputy commander of the group army to stabilize the army!"
Smart people can tell that these fair evaluations are simply saying that the reason why he can serve as deputy commander is entirely because he has been in the army for more than ten years and is still alive after a tragic war. People like this are very important in this war.
It has become rare in the military. With this unparalleled qualification, it is actually reasonable to serve as the commander of the group army!
However, this war is not won or lost based on military qualifications. Only a commander like a god of war can create military miracles.
Sarinchkin put the two men together, and their personal experiences of serving in the Soviet army explained it. Comparing them with each other, it was clear who was the best commander.
The leader took a life, and Salinchkin also gave a full explanation. Is there anyone who questions it? No more!
Yang Mingzhi was moved when he heard that not only did this man praise him lavishly, but he also showed that Stalin, who was far away in Moscow, was very interested in him. He also knew that this Salinchkin forcibly separated himself from Yev.
Love made a comparison, making it seem like his old buddy became the deputy commander just because of his seniority and enough luck!
"Is he unhappy inside?" Yang Mingzhi rolled his eyes and saw that this guy's eyes were completely crazy! "Hey! He is such a simple person. If you give him a quiet room, he can be excited.
Roar for hours!”
…
After Salinchkin finished speaking, he paused and continued after the atmosphere eased: "Now, let's invite our two group army commanders to come to the stage to give speeches!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there were bursts of applause from the audience.
Yang Mingzhi glanced at Yevlov with a smile and stretched out his right hand: "How about you go and give a speech first?"
"Ha! You Chinese are always so humble!" Yevlov said this, but he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. It was completely unlike yesterday when he scratched his scalp and found someone to polish his pen just to write a speech.
shape.
It can be seen that he was directly promoted by the National Defense Committee, but he was promoted harshly. Wouldn't this be a reaction? Even if Yevlov gives people the impression of being a deep guy, at this moment his
My mood was so high that I felt like I had drank several bottles of wine in a row.
Therefore, when he actually started to speak, there was no hesitation that Yang Mingzhi expected from this old man. Instead, his words came from the bottom of his heart.
Maybe this guy never thought he could hold such a high position.
Yevlov said that he was originally a farmer from the Far East. At the end of the last century, his family immigrated to the present-day Khabarovsk Territory and settled in the army. In the 1920s, he joined the army.
It can be said that this guy is an honest man. He did not shy away from explaining that he joined the army to have enough to eat. Later, he learned socialism in the army and became a "great Red Army soldier."
