Chapter 2673: Present and Future (Part 2)

Speaking of which, Iushkin is quite a grown man.

Most of his peers are already good at playing tricks at this time, but Iushkin is still a junior brother who has never even held a little girl's hand.

Even though he is a good player in physically conquering the German stick, when it comes to romance, Iushkin is just blind - he knows nothing about it.

"Well, there are so many beautiful girls in our division's field hospital. You can choose from blonde to black hair. There are so many good-looking girls, so you can't pick one out?"

Among the five people sitting there, only two are unmarried and have children: Iushkin and our old comrade Ma.

If Comrade Commander is not married, it may be because he is busy with official duties and involved in trivial matters. If you mention this reason, everyone here will believe it.

But Yiushkin did nothing all day long. When he had free time, he would put his hands in his pockets and wander around. You were even lazy when repairing cars and moving artillery shells. Artyom was now puzzled. Didn't Iushkin spend his free time wandering around looking for prey and solving his life-long problems? What's the point of not being able to find a wife?

To an outsider it may seem that this is the case, but what about Iushkin? But he had his own grievances, and seemed hesitant to speak, as if he didn't know how to speak.

"Okay, don't make it difficult for him."

"Whenever this boy sees a beautiful girl, he is like a new recruit returning to the battlefield. Let alone going to pick up girls, his legs are shaking as if he has stepped on a switch, and he is stuttering when he speaks. I told him last time, Thanks to the Nazis on the opposite side, they sent a group of rich and powerful men. If a group of Germanic women with blond hair and blue eyes showing their thighs came here, wouldn't you, Iushkin, have a nosebleed on the spot and faint from excessive blood loss? What a fight."

Pfft hahahaha——

As soon as Malashenko said this and before he finished speaking, Artem, who was sitting next to Iushkin and eating meat, was the first to laugh at the top of his lungs.

"I'm going, what's the matter? Hey, I mean Iushkin, I don't see this on weekdays. He's so majestic on the battlefield, and after a while "Artyom, hurry up! ", and then "Artyom, didn't you fucking eat, Sukka?" My sister can reload faster than you! "Why are you so cowardly and weak when dealing with this girl?"

Artyom, who had never heard of Iushkin's misdeeds, made fun of him on the spot, which made Iushkin, who was already a little embarrassed, blush as red as a monkey's butt, and he blushed so hard that his neck was thick. He wanted to defend himself but couldn't say a word, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Don't worry, I'm thinking about your kid getting married."

"When this battle is over, I will be your go-between. I will find a good-looking man for you, and I'm sure he will have a fat son. In the future, our leader will have a second-generation artilleryman who will succeed his father. I turned around and continued to fuck.”

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, you must light up a cigarette. If a man comes to the table without a cigarette or wine, he might as well sit at the table with children.

With a cigarette in his hand and smoke coming out of his mouth, the arrogant Malashenko had already decided to give Iushkin an "arranged marriage" as a "leader."

It’s not that Malashenko is being feudal, it’s just that, if Iushkin is such a bird, you have to let him really solve life-long affairs by himself. If he meets a girl with good character, then it’s okay to say that he is a fool. You must be lucky.

But you are going to meet a green tea scumbag or a crotch-scumbag. Tsk, Malashenko doesn’t want to see such a good prospect like Iushkin ruined because of personal emotional problems. It is no exaggeration to say that Malashenko plans to help Iushkin to the senior command level. Now it can be seen that this boy has some potential in this area. He has a serious academic background and a brain that makes him think quickly. If you train more, I believe you will become a general in the future.

After talking about Iushkin, or the chatter about Iushkin's future lifelong events, Malashenko, who was holding a cigarette in his hand, knocked on the table to signal, and Artem quickly took it. The right to speak smiled and spoke.

"Me, I don't have any special circumstances or requirements."

"As for me, as you all know, I am a monk by the wayside, not a serious Red Army soldier, and I have never been to a military school."

"I'm not afraid of Comrade Commander blaming me. In fact, after the war is over, I want to go back to Ukraine and my hometown in Odessa to continue working as a shipyard worker. When the Germans came over, we dismantled and blew up the shipyard equipment. They were blown up and taken away, and they were basically completely destroyed. At that time, I was sitting on the slipway with a few co-workers, and I was extremely sad. These were all the belongings we had saved little by little, and the unfinished ship. The shell is the fruit of our hard work, and it’s just wasted.”

"At that time, I swore that one day I would fight back with the Red Army, drive away these Nazi bastards, and rebuild everything in the past. Several of us workers agreed and swore together, and then we signed up to join the Red Army together. , take the initiative to fight against those naughties! We shipbuilders have plenty of strength! We are not short of courage, we workers are one of the masters of the country!”

"I think about it now as if it was yesterday, but that was already 41 years ago. Time has passed, things have changed, and the workers who swore with me to rebuild the shipyard and join the army to serve the country, now I am the only one left. Still alive, the last one I had any contact with was Babulski who died last year.”

"He was a pilot, flying the Il-2. He once told me in a letter that if he died one day and couldn't come back, he asked me to take part of his ashes back to Odessa and bury them in the foundation of the newly built shipyard. He and I are both locals in Odessa. We grew up playing in the shipyard."

"He sent me part of his ashes in advance, fearing that he would have no chance after his death. It was part of his left calf. During a flight operation, he was hit by a German anti-aircraft gun and his cockpit was penetrated, breaking one leg. He used the remaining leg to steer the severely damaged plane back to the base and landed. He was lucky to save his life, but he didn't I am willing to leave the blue sky."

"In the future, he continued to fly the plane with a prosthesis. The left leg that was broken in the cabin was burned by himself. Part of the ashes were sent to relatives evacuated to the Ural region, and the other part was with me. First, it was to keep a memory, and second, it was also a relic he gave to me in advance, so that I could fulfill his last wish. Unexpectedly, he really came true. I actually became the person who helped him fulfill his last wish as he had expected. "

Watching Artyom take out the ashes that had been hanging around his neck and made into a necklace in a small metal tube from his lapel and show it to everyone who knew the story behind the small object, they couldn't help but fall into silence.
