Chapter 1921 I Am Surprised

Is this guy my student?

Is he the Malashenko?

Malashenko identified the other person by the neat British Army uniform, while Major General Charleson felt that the tall and strong man in front of him looked familiar, and was quite similar to the photos he had seen on posters and various newspapers in recent times. Read

The two of them looked at each other, and no one said anything for a long time. In the end, Malokov, who was standing aside, couldn't stand it anymore and chose to take the initiative to step forward to smooth things over.

"Ahem, let me introduce you. This is Major General Davis Law Charleson, the leader of the British Army Officer Corps."

"Major General Charleson, this is Major General Dmitri Drukovich Malashenko, the commander of the 1st Stalin Guards Tank Division of our Red Army, and he will also be your instructor and mentor in the next few days."

"Well, the two of you are officially acquainted now, how about it? Shake hands?"

""

Malokov, who has been in charge of overseas intelligence work for a long time, speaks fluent English. This is a skill he practiced when he was sent to the United States in his early years. Even though he has returned to his motherland for many years, he still hasn't forgotten this skill.

Coincidentally, Malashenko also happens to speak English, and he is very proficient. As an old friend, Malokov certainly knows this situation. So at the beginning, he chose to use English to introduce the two parties, saving unnecessary translation troubles.

It was much easier to have an intermediary to introduce them. Realizing that the scene was indeed a bit awkward, Major General Charleson coughed twice, then stepped out of the door and took the initiative to extend his hand to Malashenko in front of him.

"Hello, General Malashenko, since Colonel Malokov has finished speaking for me, I won't say any more nonsense. Major General Charleson of the British Army, it's nice to meet you, and I hope we can get along well in the future."

Malashenko, who had recovered from his daze just now, did not hesitate to see this, and then responded to Major General Charleson in front of him, extending his right hand and speaking at the same time.

"It's nice to meet you too, General. I believe that the next half month will be an unforgettable and pleasant time for us to get along."

""

Now, it was Major General Charleson's turn to open his mouth in surprise, blinking twice, looking a little unbelievable.

"Oh, you can actually speak English! And it's so fluent! It sounds just like Jack from Texas. Have you been to the United States for a while? Or do you have American friends?"

Major General Charleson's expression almost showed "I'm surprised" on his face, and Malashenko could only smile faintly and speak again.

"This is the first time I've heard someone say that I have a Texas accent, but I am indeed a native of Moscow and have never been to the United States. Maybe it's because of my heavy accent. Anyway, I don't even speak English very often, and now I'm a little rusty."

Malashenko couldn't tell the truth to Major General Charleson in front of him, saying that he had traveled back from the future 21st century, and when he was studying in Moscow, his roommates who lived in the same dormitory were not only Lavrinenko's great-grandson: Rosov, the drunkard, but also Eric, a genuine Texas redneck who came to study in Russia for some reason.

To be honest, when I was studying abroad, I actually had a pretty good relationship with Eric. Although not as close as Rosov, who used to go to the pub with two drunkards, at least Eric, whose family farm owned hundreds of acres of land, was really a good person.

He was less hegemonic and more loyal and righteous, which was unique to country boys.

If the three brothers could go out to eat together, it was always this rich second-generation farm kid from Texas who would rush to pay.

In his own words, the consumption level in Moscow was so low that if he didn't rush to pay the bill, he would definitely be scolded by his father for being a miser, and he would not be able to pass on the family land and would squander the family business after inheriting it. It is said that their family motto is to spend money so that you can get more money back.

Malashenko couldn't casually comment on whether there was anything wrong with this family motto, after all, his family was not a rich second-generation farm kid from Texas. But thinking back to the years we spent together, Eric did teach me to speak authentic Texas English. Even if I spoke English again after traveling through time, I couldn't change my authentic Texas accent.

Hearing Malashenko's answer that didn't seem to be true, Major General Charleson, who was able to get to the position of major general, certainly didn't have a good EQ. He quickly figured out some of the possible reasons and didn't choose to continue asking questions. Instead, he changed the subject and started talking about business.

"General, forgive me for being so presumptuous, but if possible, can we start some advance class preparation this afternoon? Can you tell us some general things first, so we can review and prepare in advance, so that we can start the formal course tomorrow."

This British guy is really good at climbing up the ladder, isn't he?

Feeling a little amused, Malashenko turned his head and looked at Malokov beside him, but saw that this guy just looked aside with an expression of "It's none of my business, make your own decision".

It seems impossible to expect this guy to decline on his behalf, but after thinking about it, Malashenko, who has nothing to do in the afternoon, feels that this is not a bad idea. He is idle anyway, so he might as well play with these British and American guys and satisfy his curiosity.

He is really interested in how badly the British and American guys are beaten by the Germans in Europe.

"Well, General, I think this is not impossible."

"There is not much time in the afternoon, so let's just chat about some simple things here. We will talk about the actual vehicle operation in two days. I think we should first lay a solid foundation for some basic theories and knowledge. What do you think?"

The principle of guests following the host's convenience is not only common in China, but also in many places in the world.

Since Malashenko said so, Major General Charleson felt that there was no need for him to ask for too much. At least they were willing to accept his request, which was already very respectful. You should know that this young guy in front of you is definitely not an ordinary person. He has so many titles and titles that it is enough to dazzle people. He is simply an all-powerful superman!

Thinking of this, Major General Charleson, who had already made up his mind, smiled and nodded, formally accepting the proposal.

"OK, I will notify the others to come over. Why not talk in my room? This room is just big enough to accommodate all of us."
