Chapter 1933 Someone Wants to Give You an Award

In the remaining days, there were still various courses combining theory and practice. Of course, this does not mean that Comrade Lao Ma's small class will be boring. Many interesting things happened in it. Read М

For example, when the entire training course was coming to an end, Malashenko specially organized all the trainees to have a comprehensive competition.

The whole competition is generally a summary and practical application of the knowledge learned in the past half month, and the actual level of each trainee's final learning is tested in the competition.

As for the competition items, Comrade Lao Ma personally drafted them, including the usual cross-country crossing training, obstacle crossing test, battlefield repair, live ammunition target shooting, bicycle racing, three-car team baton racing, etc.

In addition to these regular competition items, a camp confrontation competition close to actual combat exercises was also added. The two groups of IS2 heavy tanks divided into red and blue camps fought fiercely and lively.

The final result of the confrontation was that the Red Army tank group led by Malashenko won with an overwhelming advantage. Through this group confrontation exercise, the tactics that Malashenko had taught to the Allied Armored Forces commanders in the past half month were fully tempered and tested, making them closer to actual combat rather than empty talk.

The course and the competition were over, but Malashenko had one last thing to do, and it was something he had to do personally: to present souvenirs and competition prizes to these Allied Armored Forces students and his own students.

The award ceremony was not actually proposed by Malashenko at first, but was conveyed by Colonel Malokov, who came to Malashenko for a special meeting on the last night before the half-month training period ended.

"Hold a ceremony for these British and Americans to send them off happily. This is what Comrade Stalin personally approved and instructed. Under normal circumstances, there must be people with higher military ranks to do this, but Comrade Leader specifically named you to complete it, so it is not convenient for others to compete with you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show your ability, which can make you go down in history again, good brother."

In the second half of World War II, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union specially organized a cross-three-country joint military cooperation project. If such a thing can be recorded in history, it must be a foregone conclusion without thinking too much.

It's just that for such an opportunity to show up, Malashenko, who doesn't like to be in the limelight, can't say whether he likes it or not. Malashenko, who has come to where he is today, has long looked down on some things, especially these fancy and false things.

But as Malokov said, since the loving father has named him to go on stage to present the award, there is naturally no reason for him to disobey his orders. He will just follow the orders of the supreme leader. But then again, if you think about it carefully, it may be that the commander of the division of the leader has some special significance in this matter, which is different from the general generals who come to award medals.

In any case, Malashenko will never refuse to do something that he should do by saying "I can't do it", and the words that have been on his lips will be blurted out.

"Did you say that these allies would be given souvenirs and prizes? You can't give each of them an autograph of me, right?"

Faced with Malashenko's half-joking question with a smile, Malokov, who came with an order, naturally had a corresponding solution.

"Comrade Stalin ordered a batch of pistols to be made, special commemorative editions of Tokarev, each with a unique number and special gun body inscription. I also brought a sample gun for you to see, here, this is it."

As he spoke, he took out an exquisite small square box from his briefcase. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was made of fine solid wood, and the box was engraved with exquisite relief patterns. It can be seen that it was a good thing that took a lot of effort to make.

But compared to this wooden box that looked gorgeous enough, Malashenko cared more about what the things inside looked like.

After he couldn't wait to get it, he gently pressed the lock and opened the wooden box. The exquisite Tokarev pistol lying quietly on the red silk cloth in it was presented to Malashenko in a complete posture.

"Wow, I have to say this thing is really beautiful, I want one myself."

Malashenko just said it casually when he was amazed at the first sight, but he didn't expect that the answer given by Malokov afterwards was really surprising.

"Of course you have one, and yours is even more special. But I didn't bring it with me today. I only brought this spare sample gun for you to enjoy. I heard that someone might give you a special award at that time. You are the biggest contributor to the cooperation between the three countries, and you should be awarded a medal."

"Someone gave me a special award?"

Hearing Malokov say this, Malashenko's curiosity was aroused all of a sudden.

I don't know if asking now will have any results, and whether Malokov will tell me, but Malashenko always feels that this matter must be tried after all. If I don't ask, my heart will be like a kitten's claws scratching-it's really annoying.

"Do you know who it is? If you know, tell your brother in advance?"

After all, I have a relationship with Malokov, and strictly speaking, it is not a shallow relationship. Counting the role of the political commissar in matchmaking, it can be called a "deep friendship". Even if Malokov pretends to be a fair judge and does not tell me, and handles official matters impartially, this matter can't be too bad, and it is not necessary to fall out over such a trivial matter.

Looking at Malashenko's "curious" expression, Malokov, who had guessed that Malashenko would ask this question in advance, grinned, and then pretended to be mysterious and leaned forward, whispering to Malashenko's ear who also stretched his neck.

"I heard that Marshal Zhukov will return to Moscow to report on his work in the near future, and will also go to inspect some military industrial units. People in the next department have already arranged the trip security and alert tasks in advance."

"As for who will give you the award, I really don't know. I was not allowed to know such news within the scope of my task. But you did a great job this time. I heard that Comrade Stalin was very satisfied after reading the report and praised you. It is the best result to have such a result. Congratulations, my brother."

Zhukov? This means that Comrade Zhu will give us an award?

Malashenko couldn't fail to understand Malokov's almost "explicit" hint. Some words cannot be said too much. The special nature of NKVD's work especially requires these people to be good at such words.

As for whether the person who heard this can understand the meaning, it has nothing to do with others. After all, everything is implied.
