  Chapter 2304

"Since the three of you are going to the Far East to participate in this final battle, I will tell you about the current situation." Stalin may have been happy to see his son Yakov, so he took the initiative to tell Sokov Waiting for someone to act as a commentator, introducing the current situation of the enemy and us.

"According to the Yalta agreement, we will launch an attack on Xiaotian within three months." Stalin pointed to the map on the wall and said to the three: "When Germany surrendered, our troops in the Far East were less than forty divisions, and these The distribution and deployment of troops is defensive in nature. Because our main enemy is the Germans, most of the offensive technical equipment, advanced infantry and artillery technical equipment are mainly used on the Soviet-German battlefield.

Since the end of May, the base camp has mobilized the 5th and 53rd Army of the Ukrainian Second Front, the 19th Army of the Second Belarusian Front, the 6th Guards Army, and a large number of independent units such as artillery, aviation, engineering, and communications. New technological weapons. The adjusted troops in the Far East and Transbaikal regions have nearly tripled, and there are as many as hundreds of general-level commanders commanding these troops..."

  Yakov couldn't help but ask when he heard this: "We mobilized troops on such a large scale, didn't the little days not notice it at all?"

Stalin glanced at his son meaningfully, and continued: "The transfer of our troops is carried out in secret. In order to prevent being discovered by the little days, we have also adopted deceptive tactics. The transfer of troops is not only carried out at night, but also for Ensure that the normal life of local residents is not affected, and troops do not enter areas where residents gather. After entering the garrison, most of the troops’ radio stations are not turned on, and even those that can be turned on, they only receive and do not send.”

"Even if our army has done a good job of concealment, what about the senior generals?" Yakov raised his own question again: "For example, the three front army commanders, their photos may be hung everywhere, walking on the street It’s not hard to be recognized.”

"Yasha, you are right. This is indeed a problem." Stalin pointed to his son with his hand and said, "But we have already thought of a solution. For example, Vasilevsky's pseudonym 'Admiral Vasilyev', Marshal Meretskov's pseudonym 'Admiral Maximov', and Marshal Mironov, the commander of your front army, was even temporarily 'demoted' to lieutenant general..."

  Hearing this, Sokov couldn't help interjecting and asked: "Comrade Stalin, what kind of identity will Yasha and I appear in the Far East?"

Stalin looked Sokov up and down again, and said kindly: "Misha, at your age, if you appear in the Far East with your current rank, you will definitely be recognized. I think it's better to be wronged temporarily. You serve as a major, and it is up to you to decide what your alias is."

  In order not to reveal his identity, Sokov had to adopt a false identity when he went to the Far East, but the alias made him embarrassed. However, he didn't think about it for long, and he remembered a name, and said without hesitation: "Comrade Stalin, why don't I change my name to Matevossang."

  "Matevosian?" After repeating the name, Stalin frowned and said, "Does this name have any meaning?"

   Not only Stalin, but Yakov and Asiya were also full of curiosity. They wanted to find out why Sokov used such a name.

In order to confuse everyone, Sokov quickly explained to them: "That's right, I also heard from a commander that there was a lieutenant named Matevosian who came from the Brest Fortress." , from the first day the war broke out, he participated in the battle. After the fort fell, he escaped by chance and joined other troops. A few months ago, his company participated in the attack on the Capitol and successfully captured the Capitol Afterwards, he wrote on the wall 'I am from Belest' with a charred wooden strip..."

After listening to Sokov's narration, Stalin nodded slowly, and then said: "Well, he is a good commander. Misha, I agree with you to use his name. From now on, you are Major Matevosian. "

   After chatting for a while, Stalin looked up at the wall clock on the wall, and then said to the three of them: "It's rare for you to come here, so you will have dinner with me before leaving. Do you have any disagreements?"

   It is a rare honor to be able to eat with Stalin, and only a fool would refuse, so they replied in unison: "No!"

Seeing that the three of them were willing to stay and eat with him, Stalin walked to the door, opened the closed oak door, gave some instructions to Poskrebyshev outside, then closed the door again, and walked back : "Sit here for a while, half an hour at most, and lunch will be delivered to us."

   Half an hour later, the door was knocked from the outside. Before Stalin could speak, the door was opened. First Poskrebyshev came in from the outside, followed by two men in chef's clothes, each pushing a dining cart.

  Boskrebyshev first said to Stalin: "Comrade Stalin, your lunch is here, shall we start now?"

   "Yes," Stalin nodded, and said, "Let's serve all the food on the table."

  When Assia saw the chef serving plate after plate of delicacies on the table, she couldn't help whispering to Sokov: "Misha, today's lunch is really rich."

After Yakov heard Asiya's words, he leaned over and said, "My father's usual lunch is very simple, just a few pieces of bread, a spoonful of mashed potatoes, and a plate of red cabbage soup. I saw us coming today." , so I ordered the kitchen to prepare it specially."

  However, when a piece of smoked fish was served on the table, Assia's face became ugly. Her throat moved violently twice, and she almost vomited out because of the smell of smoked fish. But she remembered where she was, so she suppressed the discomfort in her heart and continued to stare at the delicious food on the table.

  Sokov noticed that Asiya's expression was wrong, and asked her with concern what was wrong. Just as Asiya was about to speak, a stream of sour water spewed out from her throat uncontrollably. Fortunately, Sokov reacted in time, covered Asiya's mouth with his hands, and took what she spit out.

  Seeing this, Stalin hurriedly asked with concern: "Misha, what's wrong with your wife, is she feeling well?"

   "Yes, Comrade Stalin." Sokov replied in a panic, "She has been in poor health for the past two days. Please forgive her for being rude."

But fortunately, Stalin was reasonable. He first told Poskrebyshev: "Boskrebyshev, go and invite my doctor and ask him to examine Assia." Then he told Sokov Said: "Misha, there is a bathroom in the next room, you can take Asia to clean it."

   After thanking Stalin, Sokov took Asia to the next room and helped her wash the dirt off her face. Assia asked nervously: "Misha, I behaved so badly in front of Comrade Stalin. Is there nothing wrong with it? It won't hurt you, right?"

   "Assia, what are you thinking?" Sokov smiled and comforted Assia and said, "If I knew your body couldn't take it, then I wouldn't bring you here today."

Hearing Sokov say that she shouldn't bring herself here, Asiya couldn't help feeling anxious: "Misha, this is to see the Supreme Commander himself, don't say I'm just a little sick, even if I'm too sick to move, you can find me If someone lifts you up, you must also lift me up." After speaking, he retched again.

  Seeing Asiya like this, Sokov suddenly remembered something, and asked tentatively: "Asiya, have you come to that one this month?"

   "What's that?" Assia asked puzzled.

   "It's the relative that women visit once a month."

  After understanding what Sokov meant, Asiya shook her head and said, "No, I haven't been here since early June."

Hearing what Assia said, Sokov couldn't help being overjoyed, and was about to say that he was about to become a father, but what Assia said next poured cold water on him: "Misha, I understand your Meaning. But since the outbreak of the war, I seem to have been inaccurate. Sometimes I come once a month, sometimes once every two or three months. Nausea like this has happened several times. As for whether I am pregnant, I still need to know I only found out after a test.”

  Sokov heard what Assia said, and his heart suddenly became half cold. After helping the other party clean his face, he said, "Let's go, let's go out, don't keep Comrade Stalin waiting."

  Seeing Assia returning to the table, Stalin asked with concern: "Assia, my doctor will be here soon, what do you feel uncomfortable?"

  Assia quickly stood up and replied, "Comrade Stalin, I have nothing to do, I just feel like vomiting occasionally."

  Stalin had a surprised expression on his face: "Assia, you want to vomit, are you pregnant?"

Stalin's words made Sokov almost throw away all the tableware in his hand. He thought about it just now, but due to the harsh environment during the war, Asiya's endocrine disorder caused many false pregnancies. Phenomenon. If I told Stalin that Asiya was pregnant, and when the doctor came to check and found that she was not pregnant, I am afraid that I would be suspected of cheating.

  Asiya quickly waved her hands and said, "Comrade Stalin, I don't know. I really don't know. I'm afraid I have to wait for a doctor's examination before I can confirm whether I am pregnant or not."

   "Don't be afraid, Asiya, I'm just asking casually." Stalin turned his head to look at the door, and muttered, "Why hasn't my doctor come yet?"

   After waiting for a few more minutes, Poskrebyshev came from outside with a man carrying a medical kit. As soon as he entered the door, Boskrebyshev said respectfully: "Comrade Stalin, the doctor is here!"

  The doctor carrying the medical kit came to Stalin and bowed first: "Hello, Comrade Stalin." After a short pause, he asked respectfully, "May I ask what is wrong with you today?"

  Stalin first glanced at Poskrebyshev with a strange look, and then asked the doctor: "Why, my secretary didn't tell you that it wasn't because I was sick that I called you here?"

Hearing what Stalin said, the doctor realized that he had made an oolong. He quickly stood up straight, cast his eyes on Sukov and the others, and asked tentatively, "Which one of the two generals is it? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Comrade doctor," Sokov said politely to him, not knowing the doctor's name, "Comrade Stalin invited you here because he wanted you to check my wife's body and see if she felt any discomfort. "Sokov did not directly say that Assia might be pregnant, so as not to affect the doctor's diagnosis.

  After the doctor figured out who he was going to see, he politely asked Stalin: "May I take her to your room for a detailed examination?"

   "Of course." Stalin made a gesture of invitation, and finally added: "But don't make us wait too long."

  When the doctor took Asiya to the room where Stalin usually rested, Sokov became uneasy. He was very contradictory at the moment, he hoped that Assia was pregnant, but also hoped that Assia was not pregnant. He hoped that the other party would be pregnant because he had a future in this era; he didn't want her to be pregnant because he was worried that if Asiya became pregnant, he would no longer be able to go to the Far East with him, but could only stay in Moscow to raise a baby. Whether his own appointment will have an impact is also unknown.

Seeing Sokov's restless look, Stalin smiled and comforted him and said, "Xiaomi Sha, don't worry, the test results will come out soon, I believe my doctor will bring you good news." .”

Yakov put his hands on Sokov's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Misha, I see that you have always been calm when commanding troops on the battlefield. Why do you become so calm when it comes to Asiya?" Are there no masters? Don’t worry, this doctor has worked for my father for many years and is completely trustworthy. I believe it will not be long before he can bring you good news.”

In less than five minutes, the doctor walked out of the room quickly. He came to Sokov, stretched out a hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Comrade General, after my examination, I can confirm that you My wife is pregnant, and I congratulate you!"

  After receiving the exact news, Sokov felt ecstasy in his heart. He quickly stretched out his hands to hold the doctor's hand, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Comrade Doctor, thank you for bringing such good news."

   "Xiaomi Sha!" When Sokov and the doctor's hands were loosened, Stalin also extended his hand to Sokov: "I congratulate you!"

  Sokov didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only thank the other party: "Thank you! Thank you!"

  "Misha," Yakov also stretched out his hand and shook Sokov's hand tightly: "I declare in advance that if a child is born in the future, I will be the child's godfather."

For Yakov's proposal, Sokov naturally couldn't wish for it. If Yakov really becomes the godfather of his child, it means that he is tightly bound to this family. No matter what turmoil happens in the future, he will have Ability to protect oneself: "No problem, no problem. When the child is born, I will definitely let you be his godfather."

   "Hey, by the way, where is Asiya?" Yakov found that only the doctor came out, but no trace of Asiya, so he asked curiously, "Where did she go?"

   "I just finished examining her." The doctor said, "I'll let her rest for a while before coming out."
