Chapter 59: Comparison of Military Ranks

"Andrei, you seem to be worried about something?" Seeing Andrei coming out of Lenin's Mausoleum with a strange expression on his face, Ekaterina couldn't help but ask.

Worried? Andre knew that his lover was very sensitive, especially a woman in love. Holding Ekaterina's hand, Andre smiled and said, "Ekaterina, of course not. Maybe it's because I've been in the Far East for too long. Now I'm a little uncomfortable with the quiet and peaceful things here."

At this time, a young couple was taking photos in the square next to them. In Moscow, it has become a tradition that married couples must come to the Red Square to take photos.

"Andrei, when we get married, I will invite the best photographer to take pictures of us here. What do you think?" Ekaterina said with great anticipation, holding Andrei's arm.

"Okay." Andrei held Ekaterina's hand. Thinking of their intimate contact last night, Andrei was filled with joy.

At this moment, Andrei felt that Ekaterina's expression suddenly froze, and then she said to Andrei: "Andrei, let's leave here."

Ekaterina pulled Andrei and was about to leave in a hurry. At this moment, a tall Soviet officer strode up with his head held high.

"Ekaterina, long time no see." The other party said, staring at Ekaterina with a lewd look in his eyes. At this time, Ekaterina was obviously a little angry, and her chest was heaving.

Andre's eyes were narrowed at this time, and the veins on his arms were bulging unconsciously.

Of course Andrei knew this man. He was the KGB Major Shelov who had slandered him as a traitor in Sokolovka and even wanted to take him back to Moscow for interrogation!

If Andrei didn't know why before, now he understood. This Shelov must have known his woman Ekaterina and had feelings for her. When investigating Belenko's defection, this Shelov must have known about his relationship with Ekaterina, so he framed him!

Such a guy actually managed to sneak into the KGB. How many unjust, false and wrong cases were committed under his command! He abused his power for personal gain and used public power to settle personal grudges. Such a person simply deserves to die!

"Andrei, let's go." Ekaterina said to Andrei, pulling him hard.

"Ekaterina, I really don't understand why you like such a coward and even slept with him." Shelov's words were extremely rascally: "Alas, a flower of our Moscow was actually ****ed by such a thing."

"Fuck you!" Andre was finally enraged, and uttered a dialect that no one present knew. At the same time, he clenched his right hand into a fist and swung it towards the extremely annoying face.

"No, Andrei!" Yekaterina shouted, "If you hit him, you will lose the title of Hero of the Soviet Union!"

Andrei stopped his fist abruptly, almost one centimeter away from Shelov's nose. Ekaterina's words just now made Andrei calm down. The guy in front of him definitely had this idea!

The title of Hero of the Soviet Union is an extremely glorious one and must never be tarnished! We must be ruthless to our enemies, but we must love our people!

More than a decade ago, there was an incident where several Soviet soldiers were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. They were so happy that they went out to drink. As a result, they got drunk and got into a fight in a bar. As a result, the title that was supposed to be awarded the next day was forcibly taken away. These soldiers were extremely depressed, and their fate for the rest of their lives was almost doomed.

Now, Shelov angered Andrei and wanted Andrei to beat him. As long as Andrei took action, then, with the help of the title of Soviet Hero, the reputation of beating KGB officers would spread. It can be imagined that Andrei would definitely lose the title of Soviet Hero.

This guy is not only cunning, but also treacherous! Andrei still doesn't know whether this guy is scheming against his rival out of love or because there is something more secret behind it. In short, Andrei can't do anything today.

Thinking of this, Andrei pulled his hand back abruptly, and Shelov in front of him uttered another sentence: "Fuck, you horned goat (beast), just hit me!"

"Major Shelov, I order you to run ten laps around Moscow's Red Square immediately!" Andrei suppressed his anger and said to Shelov in a very serious tone.

This made Shelov stunned. What did it mean?

"Major Shelov, you dare to disobey orders?" Andrei said, "You are violating military discipline and will be punished by military court."

"Who are you to give me orders?" Sherov asked.

"Because my rank is higher than yours," Andre said, "I am a lieutenant colonel and you are a major."

Hearing Andrei's words, Ekaterina beside him also smiled and said to Shelov: "Major Shelov, if you don't follow Lieutenant Colonel Andrei's order, I will complain to your immediate superior."

Generally speaking, no active military officer dared to mess with the KGB. After all, the KGB held the power of life and death. Therefore, even if a KGB major went to Sokolovka, the commander of the base had to smile and accompany him. They were almost like the Gestapo in the Nazi era. Who dared to give them orders?

But Andrei gave the order, ordering Shelov to run ten laps! Although Andrei had not yet been officially awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, Andrei's current rank was higher than Shelov's. According to military rules, when people from different units or even different branches of the military meet, they are distinguished by their ranks.

"Hmph, you bastard just wait for me." Shelov said this and walked away.

Watching this guy leave, Andrei looked at Ekaterina who was already showing admiration beside him, and Andrei suddenly felt courageous: "Ekaterina, don't worry, no matter where you go, I will protect you. If it was on the battlefield just now, I should have drawn my pistol and pointed it at Shelov's head."

"Andrei, I'm sorry. It's all because of me that you had a conflict with Shelov." Ekaterina said, "This will bring you more trouble."

"I'm not afraid." Andrei said, hugging Ekaterina in his arms.

"Excuse me, both of you?" Just then, a voice came from the side: "Comrade Ekaterina, Comrade Irina invites you to her home. Comrade Andrei, please come along."
