Chapter 1011 In the Name of the Supreme Leader

Malachenko never imagined that his trip would be very easy. It would be a bad thing if meeting the supreme leader was as easy as playing house.

But to be honest, Malachenko never expected that Comrade Stalin would send two difficult balls to his feet.

What do you mean I hope to get what kind of reward?

I hope I can go home immediately to warm the bed with my beautiful wife. Will you, the old man with a big beard, let me go? I guess if I dare to say such a thing, I don’t know how you will deal with me.

Malachenko, who secretly complained in his heart, certainly knew that this was Stalin testing himself, and he also knew what the two "great honors" referred to, but he still didn’t know how to answer in order to get into the heart of Comrade Ci Da and give him a full score.

After thinking for a long time without any definite results, Malachenko, who no longer hesitated about this matter, had to answer with a firm expression.

"To do something in order to get a reward from the motherland is the behavior of an opportunist. It is not in line with the code of conduct of a Communist Party member and is incorrect, Comrade Stalin."

"I have never felt that I must receive any kind of reward for what I have done. What drives me to act is my spirit, my will, and everything I have learned in the Party School."

"As the commander of the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Brigade, I am always ready to face any storm with my comrades and comrades. This is the first thing I consider at any time."

At this point, Malashenko hesitated slightly, but this was only to make the following words better expressed.

"As for the problem you mentioned, Comrade Stalin, I am sorry that I have not seriously considered these, but I think I am ready at any time to accept and face all of this calmly, no matter what the result is. "

As a steel leader who often needs to test people's hearts, Comrade Stalin has asked similar questions to many people more than once. Usually, the answers of generals are better than those of grassroots commanders and fighters, and the answers of comrades engaged in political work are better than those of comrades in the army.

But among all the answers he has personally experienced, Comrade Stalin has never heard such a responsive answer as Malashenko.

Assumption, just make an assumption here.

Comrade Stalin, who suddenly became very interested in Malashenko's learning during his training at the Party School, felt that Malashenko's learning experience during his training at the Party School could definitely be used as excellent positive material for publicity, and with the excellent answer just now, it could even be used directly as a teaching material.

Comrade Stalin, who just raised his evaluation of the young man in front of him to a higher level, did not know that.

What Malashenko said just now, Basically, it was copied from a certain political commissar who had a great influence on him in his previous life, and some improvements were made to suit the current special era.

Of course, the political commissar was the political commissar of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, not the political commissar of the Soviet Red Army.

It was the regimental political commissar who made Malashenko in his previous life respectfully call him uncle.

The secretary knocked on the door again and brought what the supreme leader asked for. The drink in the container was just enough for the two of them to drink until the end of the conversation, no more, no less.

Malashenko saluted again, said goodbye, and left. The footsteps still echoed in the office where he was alone.

Comrade Stalin, the loving father sitting behind his desk, was thinking about what kind of unique future he should arrange for such an "extraordinary" young man.

"It's time to talk to Zhukov about this young man again. It might be a good idea to listen to his advice. ”

Compared to the supreme leader who made special considerations for the future of a rising star, Malashenko, who had already left the Kremlin, seemed a little "frightened", or it would be more appropriate to say "flattered".

As for the commendation he finally received, Malashenko did not receive medals, promotions, or expansion of his subordinate troops from Comrade Stalin, and there was not even a commendation notice from the telegram front.

But compared to the above things, Malashenko knew that the only commendation he received this time was far more than all the sum of them.

From now on, the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Brigade was officially renamed "Stalin Guards 1st Heavy Tank Brigade", and the former brigade commander Malashenko was in charge. The colonel continued to serve as the commander of the unit. As the only official number, it appears in the archives of the General Staff and in official written documents and orders.

Compared with the title of Soviet hero, being able to add the name of the Soviet supreme leader in front of the unit number is the highest honor that all soldiers in the Red Army dare not dream of.

Even if this honor belongs to the collective, not to himself, Malashenko also felt the true recognition of the Soviet supreme leader from this heavy and important name.

With this unique and supreme honor in the whole army, the only thing Malashenko can feel at ease is that he should no longer have to worry about replenishing the troops' losses from now on.

No matter who is responsible for replenishing the battle-damaged troops, as long as his brain is not burned out, the 1st Stalin Guards Heavy Tank Brigade will definitely be the No. 1 unit at the top of the replacement list, even if it is also the Guards Other troops in the name also have to go back a little bit.

Anyone dissatisfied? That’s okay! Otherwise, why don't you add the name of Comrade Supreme Leader in front of the name and make the unit number as long as the 1st Stalin Guards Heavy Tank Brigade before expressing your opinion?

To describe it accurately, this is a bit similar to the meaning of the ancient emperor's holy finger in the hand, and it is valid for a long time and will expire after a single use.

Maybe this metaphor is a bit inappropriate, but in terms of actual functions, the two are indeed very similar.

To say what Malashenko, who has experienced nine deaths in purgatory many times on the battlefield and is constantly struggling to survive, needs the most, it is probably this kind of only "me-only" award. This brings joy to Malashenko. The impact was simply more intense than another Hero of the Soviet Union medal!

"What happened? You haven't stopped laughing since you got in the car. You look like a fool who escaped from a mental hospital."

Malokov, whose brows were almost furrowed, looked at Malashenko with a strange expression, while Comrade Ma sitting in the passenger seat was still giggling.

"Hey, it's okay, you just need to know that it's a good thing!"

"Oh, and remember to read the newspaper tomorrow morning, there should be big news happening!"
