The setting sun fell to the west, and the fine snow rested a little.

Valenka parked the black Volga on the side of the road, first leaned on the back of the chair and yawned, then pushed the door and got out of the car, while taking out a pack of "camels" from the pants pocket of the military uniform, while looking up towards the road Look at the small yellow building on the side.

As a person close to Victor, he is also one of his most trusted entourages. Although Varenka is not high in rank, he enjoys a lot of treatment. Although he is still at the rank of lieutenant, even most of the school-level officers. , I'm afraid it is not as good as he can enjoy. The most important thing is that he got some non-basic necessities from Victor’s quota, such as cigarettes.

Xiaohuanglou is very quiet. Although the sky is dim, there is no light from upstairs and downstairs, but Varenka knows that his direct leader is here, um, fooling around with that movie star. .

Leaning on the car door, lighting the cigarette in his hand, and taking a deep breath, Varenka looked around, feeling somewhat bored.

Going downstairs to the bedroom on the second floor, Victor rolled over from the woman panting, lay down with his back on the bedside, reached out to turn on the lamp on the bedside table, and hung his hand under the bed to fumble for the coat that had been left on the floor.

Beside him, Valentina with wide limbs rolled over lazily, put a hand on his slightly blessed belly, rubbed his belly with two fingers, and made a soft voice. Said: "Don't leave tonight, just sleep here."

Victor didn't say a word, he lifted the clothes he found, took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took it, and brought out an envelope as he took out the cigarettes.

The envelope fell from the pocket and fluttered onto the carpet beside the bed.

Victor leaned down and looked under the bed, then reached out and picked it up again.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, Valentina knew that her request could not be fulfilled, but she didn't care too much, so she replied, "If you want something to eat, I will prepare it."

"Whatever," Victor said casually, leaning back on the head of the bed, "Well, get me a glass of champagne first, I'm a little thirsty."

"Wait for me, I'll be fine," Valentina came over and kissed his sweat-stained chest before struggling to get out of bed.

When Valentina got out of bed and left, Victor lighted himself a cigarette, opened the seal of the envelope, and took out the two photos from the inside. Yes, they were the two that Vasilievsky gave him in the morning. a photograph.

Since being reborn in this world, Victor has never restrained himself on the issue of the relationship between men and women, and because of this, his private life is in a rotten state, which is not only known by others, but also by himself.

Comrade Serov had talked to him more than once just for the trouble in the lower body. During the first period of time, he was still a little worried and could be a little bit jealous, but as his status improved, especially with Comrade Serov The relationship is getting closer. To be honest, Comrade Serov’s binding force on him is very weak.

Perhaps because of this indulgence in private life, until now, he has not considered the issue of getting married and starting a family.

In the past two years, it’s not that no one has introduced him to a female partner, but he has never taken it to heart. However, when Vasilevsky raised this question today, Victor really considered it carefully. The key point is , He could not help but consider this issue.

Generally speaking, the concept of family in the Soviet Union is not as important as the country where Victor lived in the previous life. There is no question of inheritance, and there is no argument about social and family responsibilities, even if it is who does not marry or have children. , And no one would judge him with the argument of Shanggang Shangxian.

However, the current situation is a little different. Because of the huge population losses caused by the war, the People’s Committee of National Defense has begun to call on the people to give birth actively. A basic national policy.

As a senior bureaucrat of the alliance, Victor remains single, which is obviously not a wise choice.

There is another point that Victor has to pay attention to, that is, as his status gradually rises, his marriage problem will inevitably receive more people's attention.

The Soviet Union is not a place of purity, and there are quite a lot of coalitions of interest in politics that use marriage as a link. Nowadays, the reason why there are not so many matchmaking for Victor is just because the war is tense and most people still don't pay attention to it. In addition, at this time, it is obviously not appropriate to raise personal marriage issues.

It is foreseeable that once the war is over, with Victor occupying this position, it is estimated that his marital problems will immediately be targeted by many interested people.

Who is Victor today? The first deputy commissar of the National Security People’s Committee is in charge of the internal and external intelligence work of the entire alliance, and is also responsible for counter-espionage work. His military rank belongs to the rank of major general and he has the right to meet with Comrade Stalin at any time.

To be honest, someone with a high authority like him who has not yet been married is definitely the only one in the league's cadre roster.

Now that the party congress has not been convened for a long time, if the party congress is convened once in the past two years, he will be firmly established as a member of the Central Committee in his position and will never escape.

Needless to say, such a marriage partner is probably very tempting to many people. No matter which political power is, they will definitely want to use the means of marriage to draw him into their own camp.

For Victor, all this can be a good thing, but it may also be a bad thing, because at that time, he is not making any choices, it means that his position is determined. Of course, he can get part of it through that kind of marriage. People’s support may be hostile by more people.

Victor didn't want his position to be so clear, and he didn't want too many unexpected factors to be involved in his marriage.

Sitting on the head of the bed, Victor was smoking a cigarette while looking at the girl in the photo.

According to Vasilevsky's introduction, the girl in the photo is named Liang Na, Liang Na Yurievna Dementieva, who has just turned 21 this year, and is seven or eight years younger than him.

The girl is very beautiful. From the photo, she has slightly curly blonde hair, fair skin, melon-seeded face, delicate features, and obvious mixed-race features, with a touch of purity in her beauty.

Moreover, according to Vasilevsky, although the girl is learning communication technology, she is very talented in literature and art. She plays the piano very well and dances ballet very well. During her time at Moscow State University, she frequently participated in various schools. This kind of performance is a very famous girl in the college.

Of course, what looks, figure, education, talent, these, Victor is not very important... well, this is a bit exaggerated, at least he doesn't value education and talent.

What Victor really fancyed was the girl's family background.

Although Liang Na’s parents are also Union officials, their position is not that amazing. Although her father is a member of the Industrial Committee, he is ranked last among the 17 members of the Industrial Committee. There is nothing practical. Power does not have the status of a member of the Central Committee.

At the same time, her uncle, Malinowski.

This comrade general... how to put it, since the outbreak of the war, his performance on the battlefield command has been remarkable, more precisely, quite outstanding.

But unfortunately, Comrade Stalin did not trust him. The main reason was that Malinowski was a Jew. This person’s name has always been on the list of military generals that need to be closely monitored by the Counterintelligence Bureau. List.

To be honest, if Vasilevsky were to be the matchmaker before the end of the Battle of Stalingrad, Victor would not even consider it, and he would even suspect that the comrade of the General Staff was murdering himself.

However, after the Battle of Stalingrad ended, Malinowski finally gained the trust of Comrade Stalin, which can be seen from his removal from the "close watch" list.

Not only that, during a battle of Stalingrad, Malinowski and Vatutin were awarded the rank of general at the same time, and at the same time, they also received a "First Class Suvolo" awarded by Comrade Stalin himself. Medal of Husbandry”, Malinovsky was summoned three times during the previous visit to Stalingrad by Comrade Stalin.

All this shows that Comrade Stalin's views on Malinowski have changed. At least this Jew who is under suspicion has finally been recognized by the leader.

As a result, there is now a very delicate situation.

In the past, Malinovsky’s reputation in the army was not well-known, mainly because of the lack of attention and trust from Comrade Stalin. Now, through the victory of a battle of Stalingrad, he has just been recognized by Comrade Stalin. Fundamentally speaking, his status in the Red Army system is not that high. At least he is far behind the commanders of the front such as Zhukov and Rokosovsky.

In this case, if Victor interacts with Liang Na, on the one hand, it will not attract too much attention and fear, on the other hand, it can pave the way for his future.

Yes, Viktor does not know much about the history of the Soviet Union, but he still knows Malinowski, because this man who has not a low reputation in World War II, is just after the Soviet Union. In the post-Soviet era, the well-deserved first person in the Red Army system.

In the Khrushchev era, he got a rapid rise and replaced Zhukov as the Minister of National Defense. At the end of Khrushchev, he took the lead in bombarding Khrushchev in the military media. This triggered a series of reactions that led to Khrushchev's resignation.
