Hearing what Rokossovsky said, Sokov couldn't help being a little bit dumbfounded, thinking that when you called me over just now, why didn't you talk about it, and made other ladies invite me to watch a movie, and I had no choice but to bite the bullet and refuse , that's downright rude.

  But Sokov knew very well in his heart that he had no idea where the movie would be shown. Even if you know the exact location, it is very difficult to find someone in the dark theater when you rush there. It was precisely because of this consideration that he justly rejected Rokossovsky's proposal: "Thank you, Comrade Marshal. You once reminded me that it is not ruled out that this woman may be an MI6 agent. If you have a close relationship with her, I'm afraid it's not a good thing."

"Since you don't want to go to someone else, forget it." Rokossovsky glanced in the direction where Sidolin left, and then asked: "By the way, when I came over, I saw your staff officer The chief left in a hurry, where did he go?"

"That's right, Comrade Marshal," Sokov explained to Rokossovsky: "My chief of staff told me that a group of British generals wanted to buy my military commissar, General Lunev, a drink. You know, He just had an appendix operation not long ago, and excessive drinking may cause harm to his body, so I asked Sidolin to go to him and try to prevent him from drinking too much."

"Misha, you are very thoughtful." After hearing what Sokov said, Rokossovsky nodded his head in affirmation: "Even if the postoperative wound heals well, if you drink too much, I'm afraid it will hurt you." It has a bad effect on the body. Your decision to ask General Sidolin to go to Lunev is correct."

   "By the way, Comrade Marshal." Hearing Rokossovsky mention Sidolin's name again, Sokov suddenly remembered an important thing: "I want to ask you something."

   "Whatever, just say it."

   "The war is over. I want my chief of staff, Sidolin, to go to Berlin." Sokov asked tentatively, "I wonder if you will allow me?"

   "Going to Berlin?!" Rokossovsky frowned after hearing this, and asked, "What is he going to Berlin for?"

"What else to do, of course, is to look at his son." Sokov worried that Rokossovsky could not remember who Sidolin's son was, and specifically reminded him: "Sidorin, the son of the chief of staff, Since the Battle of Stalingrad, he has been serving as an orderly by General Chuikov's side. The father and son have not seen each other for several years, and now that the war is over, it is time for them to reunite."

"Oh, so that's what happened." Rokossovsky nodded after hearing this, and continued: "After we return to the station, I will call Marshal Zhukov and talk to him, and then General Sidolin will It is logical to go to Berlin and meet his son at Chuikov's headquarters."

   "Great, this is really great." Hearing Rokossovsky's promise, Sokov couldn't help being overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Comrade Marshal, on behalf of Sidolin, I would like to express my thanks to you!"

At this time, Sidolin walked over with Lunev, who was a little drunk, and seeing Rokossovsky sitting with Sokov, he quickly stood at attention and raised his hand to Rokossovsky. Salute: "Hello, Comrade Marshal."

   "It's Sidolin." Rokossovsky glanced at Lunev, who was a little unsteady, and asked with a smile, "Why, is your military commissar drunk?"

"Yes, he drank some whiskey with some British generals." Sidolin explained to Rokossovsky: "He may not have drunk this kind of wine before, so after a few glasses, he was a little bit overwhelmed." Alcoholic."

"Vodka is a high-purity distilled alcoholic beverage. The highest alcohol content is a vodka produced in Poland. The alcohol content is as high as 96 degrees. It is said that it can be poured directly into the fuel tank of a tank as fuel. Although whiskey is also a spirit, the raw material for brewing is Grains such as barley, rye, wheat, and corn do not have as much alcohol as vodka." Rokossovsky said: "I guess he drank vodka first, and then drank whiskey with the British general, and the two wines were mixed together. , that made him so incapable of drinking."

   "Comrade Marshal," Sidolin saw that it was getting late, but Rokossovsky never said when he was leaving, so he asked in front of Sokov, "When will we return to the station?"

"Comrade Chief of Staff, we are not leaving tonight." Sokov hurriedly explained to Sidolin: "Comrade Marshal has already negotiated with Marshal Montgomery, and we will live in the British camp tonight, and we will go back tomorrow." Not too late."

   "Ah, go back tomorrow?" Hearing what Sokov said, Sidolin showed a troubled expression on his face: "What about the troops?"

"Comrade Chief of Staff, the war is over now." Sokov said to Sidolin: "If there is anything, the division commanders know how to deal with it. Even if they can't deal with it, we will deal with it when we go back tomorrow , there will be no problem."

   "Okay then." Hearing what Sokov said, Sidolin said helplessly, "I don't know where the residence is arranged for us. I'll send the military commissioner there first."

"General Wilson!" Sokov didn't know where Montgomery had arranged for his group of people to live. Just as he was about to ask Rokossovsky, he saw Wilson approaching, so he greeted him and said, " Do you know where Marshal Montgomery has arranged for us to live?"

   "Yes, General Sokov." Wilson replied politely, "It's in a nearby hotel. Why are you asking this?"

  Sokov pointed to Lunev and said: "My military commissar is a little drunk. I plan to ask the chief of staff to send him back to rest, but I don't know where."

   "I know." Wilson said, "If you don't object, I can take you there."

Sokov was about to agree to Wilson, but he heard Rokossovsky next to him say: "Misha, the dance is not over yet, so it's inappropriate for you to leave like this. In my opinion, let this general take Sidolin and Lu Nev and the others go to the residence."

Sokov, who followed Rokossovsky's advice, said to Wilson apologetically: "General Wilson, I still have something to do here, and I can't go there for the time being, so I can only trouble you to send my two colleagues there to rest. "

  Seeing that Wilson agreed to his request, Sokov said to Sidolin again: "Comrade Chief of Staff, follow this General Wilson, and he will take you to a resting place."

  When Sidolin helped Lunev to leave, Sokov said behind him: "Comrade Chief of Staff, there is one more thing that I forgot to tell you."

  Sidorin stopped, turned around and looked at Sokov with strange eyes, waiting for him to say the following content.

"That's right, Comrade Marshal just said." Sokov smiled and said to Sidolin: "After we return to the defense zone, he will call Marshal Zhukov and ask you to go to Berlin and visit General Chuikov. 8th Guards Army, meet your son."

  Hearing what Sokov said, the expression on Sidolin's face suddenly became complicated: "Comrade Commander, is this true?"

"Of course it is true." Before Sokov could speak, Rokossovsky said first: "I personally agreed to this. As soon as we return to the defense zone, I will call Zhukov and ask him to arrange for you. About going to Chuikov's troops."

Sidolin thought it was unbelievable at first, but now that Rokossovsky personally confirmed it, he finally realized that it was true. He would soon see his son whom he hadn’t seen for several years. Agitated, he bowed deeply to Rokossovsky and said gratefully: "Thank you, Comrade Marshal, thank you for your arrangement!"

   After finishing speaking, he turned around and helped Lunev follow behind Wilson, walking towards the outside. Seeing this situation, the two nearby Soviet officers stepped forward to help without waiting for orders from others. They took Lunev from Sidolin's hand and walked out with his arms.

   "Misha." After Sidolin and Lunev left, Rokossovsky asked Sokov: "Now that the war is over, what are your plans next?"

"Comrade Marshal, the Axis powers are Germany, Italy, and Japan." Sokov said: "Although Italy and Germany have surrendered and surrendered, there is still a little devil in the east that has not been defeated. This war is not really over. I I feel that after the war in Europe is over, I’m afraid they will send troops to the east to deal with the little devils in the Far East.”

"Misha, I really didn't expect you to think so far." Hearing what Sokov said, Rokossovsky laughed: "The Germans just announced their surrender, and they haven't officially signed the surrender document. The war is not completely over yet, yet you start thinking about the war in Asia."

   "Comrade Marshal," Sokov waited for Rokossovsky to finish speaking, and asked tentatively, "Do you think it is very likely that we will be transferred to the Far East?"

"It's hard to say, Misha." Rokossovsky shook his head and said: "Although the commanders and fighters of our three front armies are all experienced and rich in combat experience. After all, after such a long time In the battle, not only the number of troops has been greatly reduced, but they are also exhausted, and I am afraid that they will have to rest for a long time before they can rejoin the battle. Therefore, I think it is unlikely that troops will be transferred from us to the Far East.”

After hearing this, Sokov couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He didn't have the opportunity to participate in the battle to attack Berlin, and he wanted to make up for the elimination of the Kwantung Army in the Far East. Who knows what Rokossovsky meant, his superiors might not come from Germany. From the three main front armies of the Communist Party of China, troops were transferred to the Far East, so my desire to personally teach the Kwantung Army a lesson came to nothing.

After a short silence, Sokov asked tentatively: "Comrade Marshal! If, what I said is if, if the superior wants to transfer troops from the three front armies near Berlin to the Far East, can you agree to let my troops also go to the Far East?" Going to the Far East?" After saying this, he stared closely at Rokossovsky, hoping to see his reaction.

Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Rokossovsky shook his head with a wry smile, and then said: "Misha, I don't know why you want to go to the Far East to fight little devils. But have you thought about it, even if I agree with you Go, but these commanders and fighters under your command, will they be willing to travel thousands of miles to fight the little devil?"

   A word awakened the dreamer, and Rokossovsky's words were like enlightenment, which made Sokov suddenly realize. After fighting for so many years, whether they are new soldiers or veterans, I am afraid that they have long hated war. Now that the Germans have announced their surrender, for their commanders and fighters, the war is over. The next thing they have to do is to recover and go home , reunite with his family, and rebuild his new home, I am afraid that there will be no one who is willing to follow him to fight in the Far East thousands of miles away.

"Misha!" Seeing Sokov's silence, Rokossovsky continued: "Of course, our army also has its own troops in the Far East, and if we want to fight the little devils, we must focus on these troops. If you really want to go to the Far East and participate in the last battle of this war, I am afraid you can only apply for a change of troops."

"Application for changing troops?" Sokov heard Rokossovsky say this, and he couldn't help but a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and said secretly: Yes, after several years of war, the commanders and fighters under his command may have returned to their hearts long ago. If I force them to follow me to the Far East, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be shaken and the morale will be low. Even if such troops are pulled into the battlefield, they may not be able to play much role. If he is defeated by the little devil's counterattack again, he will be ashamed and lose a lot of money.

   "Misha, did you understand what I said?"

"Yes, Comrade Marshal, I understand." Sokov nodded, and said in a positive tone: "If I want to go to the Far East to participate in the war, the best way is to apply to my superiors and be transferred to the troops in the Far East. Work, so that you have the opportunity to participate in the final battle against the little devil."

   "Yes, that is indeed the case." Rokossovsky reminded Sokov: "This matter is of great importance, and you must seriously consider it, so as not to regret it in the future because of your impulsiveness now."

   "Comrade Marshal, you can rest assured about this." Sokov said confidently: "No matter what time it is, I will not regret the decision I made today."

   "Since you have made up your mind, I won't persuade you anymore." Rokossovsky said, "Besides your transfer, there is another possibility."

   "Another possibility?!" Hearing what Rokossovsky said, Sokov immediately realized that the other party must have thought of something he hadn't considered, and hurriedly asked, "Comrade Marshal, what kind of possibility is it?"

"Another possibility is that the Supreme Command will draw commanders and fighters from the Far East from the three main front forces near Berlin, and form them into new troops to fight in the Far East." Rokossovsky said: " Once such a force is formed, then I can recommend you to take up the post of commander, and lead the force to the Far East in a legitimate way."
