Chapter 1605 Be a Good Audience for Once

"Have you talked to Natalia?"

"No, not yet."

"What's going on? How long do you plan to delay it?"

"Can't we wait until the end of the performance? I don't think it's appropriate now. Time is too tight."

The person who cares most about our comrade Lao Ma in the whole division is the political commissar. Taking advantage of the last bit of time before the performance, the political commissar, who was afraid that Malashenko would mess up the good thing, began to ask questions, but was obviously dissatisfied with Malashenko's efficiency.

"Okay, it's up to you what you want to do. I can only give you advice. But remember, don't delay this matter again and again. The longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for you. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Well, I understand."

After telling Malashenko these last points, the political commissar turned around and left to busy himself with the last bit of preparatory and organizational work before the performance, leaving our comrade Lao Ma alone sitting on the chair in the division headquarters, staring at the desk in front of him in a daze.

"By the standards of later generations, buddy is now considered a scumbag, right? "

Malachenko muttered to himself and laughed at himself. He shook his head slowly and felt that there was no need to dwell on it any longer.

"Fuck it! I did it, so what! Not only did I do it, but I also wanted to do it well and properly. Just wait and see!"

Feeling that he was forced into a corner, Malachenko could only encourage himself to get things done. This was not for anything else, but for the happiness of the rest of his life.

Besides, half of the work was done now, and only Natalia was left. How could he give up so easily when victory was in sight?

Malachenko could no longer think of anything else in his mind. He only thought about how to deal with Natalia next. Time passed quickly under such circumstances, and soon it was time for the performance to begin.

Malachenko stepped on the spot and went Shen Ke had something on his mind. To be honest, he was not particularly interested in the art performance arranged by the superiors. He did not even rush to the scene to see the venue and stage when they were being built, let alone directing. These things were basically handled by our political commissar.

So, it was not until he actually arrived at the scene that Malashenko realized that the stage and venue of the performance were indeed slightly different from what he had imagined.

The performance venue was chosen at the location of the division headquarters, and the combat units below needed to rush over from their respective bases to watch the art performance.

The huge history It is impossible for all the troops of the Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division to be gathered together and deployed together. Except for the guard troops directly under the division headquarters, the 1st Tank Regiment and the Infantry Regiment, the remaining combat troops are dispersed in several other locations near the division headquarters. In recent days, they have been in a state of rest and standby, replenishing lost equipment and personnel, and of course, some necessary training is indispensable.

Since the establishment of the Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division, this is the first time that they have the opportunity to enjoy the famous Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe to perform at the front line. Naturally, many soldiers who don't want to miss this wonderful performance In, almost everyone wants to come tonight to feast their eyes and enjoy this rare opportunity of wonderful performance.

But now is wartime after all, and there are objective situations where conditions do not allow it.

Even if the Cherkasy Campaign has come to an end, the garrisons of various troops and the sentry duty and night patrol posts that should be set up are indispensable. It is impossible for the whole division to have a collective fun for a cultural performance. Some soldiers are destined to envy others with regret tonight, but this is only temporary tonight.

"Oh, you are talking about this, it is easy to solve, Comrade General. We often encounter this situation, almost every time we go to a division."

In the face of Malashenko's question "Are some soldiers destined to be unable to come to watch the performance?", Valeski, with a smile on his face, did not regard this as a big problem.

"We were prepared before we came. There will be a total of two performances in your division, and the time is set within three days. That is to say, after the performance tonight, we can rest for a day tomorrow, organize cultural activities, and interact with the soldiers. We can have another performance the day after tomorrow, and then we can ask the comrades who didn't come today to come, so that no soldier will have any regrets. "

"Or we can have another performance tomorrow, or organize cultural activities the day after tomorrow, it depends on your arrangement, Comrade General. Before leaving, Commander Alexander specifically told me to respect General Malashenko's arrangements when I arrived at the Leader Division, and I could be more flexible in terms of time, and there was no need to schedule it so tightly. This performance was an important task that the commander personally handled, and it was very important. "

Alexander Vasilyevich Alexandrov, one of the founders of the Red Banner Song and Dance Ensemble, is also the current commander of the Red Banner Song and Dance Ensemble.

Malashenko has never seen the commander himself, who was praised by later generations, but he is still very grateful from the bottom of his heart for such a special arrangement.

"Please tell the commander that I am very grateful for his arrangements for our division. When I have the opportunity to return to Moscow, I will go back to visit him and thank him in person. ”

In this era of material scarcity and scarcity of entertainment activities, the soldiers fighting bravely on the front lines can enjoy very few entertainment and leisure activities.

These days, there are no mobile phones, no computers, and even no board games like Three Kingdoms. As the head of a division, Malashenko often worries about how to provide soldiers with rich leisure and entertainment activities. From time to time, he asks the political commissar if he can organize comrades to play football or do group sports activities if he is free recently, so that the soldiers can at least have something to do besides sleeping.

It is rare to have such a cultural performance organized by the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe. Malashenko will definitely attach great importance to it, and he will welcome this performance from the bottom of his heart and feel happy for the soldiers.

So in thanking Captain Alexander for the special arrangement, Malashenko is naturally sincere and not hypocritical.

"Of course, I will tell you, Comrade General. Well, the performance is about to start. There are two minutes left. Do you want to go on stage to speak or something? I will be the host of the show and can give you some opening remarks and invite you to speak on stage."

"Uh, speaking on stage?"

Malachenko is not super opposed to speaking on stage. As the head of a division, he has to do this kind of thing often on weekdays.

But Malachenko's mind is not on this at the moment. He has not even prepared a speech or what to say on stage. He has completely forgotten it.

If you cram at the last minute, you may make a fool of yourself on stage. After thinking about it, Malachenko finally smiled and shook his head and declined.

"No need. Just do what you should do. I will be a good audience today."
