Chapter 2891 Good Things Come in Pairs

"How are the soldiers resting? The final battle is about to begin. Are you confident that you can complete the mission?"

Malachenko could predict what the answer would be, but there are some things that you have to ask even if you know it, even if it is for the sake of pre-war mobilization and boosting morale.

"Report to the division commander, I, Alsim, and all the brothers will guarantee to complete all the tasks assigned by the superiors! Just tell me which Nazi head you want, and I promise to cut it off and send it back to you!"

Before Alsim finished shouting, the soldiers who were originally sleeping on the ground stood up and spontaneously gathered behind the company commander and on the left and right sides of Malachenko and the political commissar.

Although every soldier was covered in stains and mud, and his face was full of fatigue and sleepiness, Malachenko could clearly see that everyone, including Alsim, had light in their eyes. That was the firm belief in victory, and the deep desire for the next battle beyond the fatigue of the body.

What is a good soldier? What the hell is an elite? What is the elite team that a commander values ​​most?

This is, right in front of us, the Arsim Company.

"As a company commander, pay attention to the words you use next time and set a good example. It's "comrades" instead of "brothers". People who don't know would think you are a bandit recruited by the leader division."

It is well known that Arsim is an uneducated rough man, but roughness cannot be used as a universal excuse. It is understandable that the political commissar reminds him of his job.

"Yes! The political commissar is right. It's "comrades", not "brothers". I will pay attention next time!"

"Comrades, did you hear it clearly?"

"I heard it clearly! Ura!"

""

Seeing that Arsim not only promised himself, but also took the rest of the soldiers to do something, Malashenko, who came out to make peace, patted Arsim's arm and laughed softly.

"That's right! I can argue with you and reason with you even if you quarrel with me, but you must unconditionally execute the orders of the political commissar. If you dare to compromise, I will punish you to clean the toilet! Remember that."

"Yes! Clean the toilet, remember!"

"Hey!"

"You are wrong, you must unconditionally execute the orders of the political commissar, remember!"

""

A rough man can't say any polite words, and it's nothing strange to get nervous at a critical moment. Knowing the situation, Malashenko naturally has no reason to blame Alsim.

After briefly explaining the next combat situation to Alsim and briefly shaking hands with the soldiers one by one, Malashenko's brief inspection tour of the troops ended here.

"Come to think of it, did you forget something?"

"Ah? Forgot something? I don't think so. What is it?"

The two walked out of the small building and came to the street. Just as Malashenko was about to walk towards the car, he suddenly heard the political commissar beside him say this, which really confused him.

"Okay, it seems that you really forgot. Then I'll tell you directly. It's about Ekakina."

"Kalachev came to check me yesterday and prescribed some medicine. Before leaving, he asked me to tell you that Ekakina should be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I heard that the battle in Berlin is almost over, so I asked if you have any plans for her."

"This girl has been talking about wanting to see you and return to the battlefield these days. Karachev has been using your busyness as an excuse, but I guess he won't be able to deal with it tomorrow. Have you thought about what to do?"

""

Malashenko, who had already opened the car door, was stunned. To be honest, he was so busy recently that he forgot about the girl.

It would not be good to admit it directly, so he could only think of a solution on the spot. Malashenko, who had already opened the car door, immediately signaled the political commissar to get in the car.

"Didn't I promise to let her catch up with the last battle and return to the battlefield?"

"So you have forgotten all this?"

The political commissar still remembered it and seemed a little surprised. Malashenko, who was a little embarrassed, hurried to cover up his embarrassment.

"No, no, just confirming to prevent misremembering, um."

""

The political commissar did not speak, and Malashenko continued to hold his chin and look out the window until the car drove out for a while before he suddenly figured something out and spoke.

"Remember to remind me tomorrow morning, I'll go to the hospital to deal with this matter."

The political commissar heard that Malashenko had not finished speaking, and the additional question followed immediately.

"Then what?"

Malashenko's pulse was accurately felt by the political commissar, and the next words can only be said to be "as expected."

"Then ask Karamov to take out an IS7 from the maintenance vehicle and have it ready for me tomorrow morning. Also prepare a crew and keep the captain's seat."

"IS7!?"

The surprise in the words of the political commissar was obvious. Realizing that some words might not be convenient for the young driver in front to hear, he quietly leaned towards Malashenko and whispered to the ear of the division commander with his mouth covered.

"You are not really attracted to that girl, are you? Huh?"

Malashenko looked surprised.

"How could it be? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Nonsense? IS7 now has no independent combat organization except your guard company. All of them are command vehicles above the company level. You must know that, right? Are you going to promote her to company commander? Or transfer her to your side as a guard? No matter which one you choose, do you think someone will gossip about the division commander if it gets out?"

""

Feeling bitter, Malashenko was helpless and couldn't say anything. After struggling for a while, he could only tell the political commissar what he meant.

"I want to set an example for her. We have many male heroes in the Leader Division, but don't you think we are always lacking a female hero to promote? Marshal Zhukov mentioned this to me before, and asked me to draw up a list of female Soviet heroes and submit it. If there are no combatants, medical staff will do."

"I was wondering why I suddenly remembered this, but they said that this is what the leader comrade hopes for. The Leader Division should be a force that shows that female Soviet heroes can also defend the country. This is a need for internal propaganda, so it is a political task and there is no room for maneuver. Fortunately, it is not too urgent, but I have to keep an eye on it until I found that Ekakina is actually very suitable."

""

Others may not understand what "political tasks" mean, but the political commissar cannot fail to understand, or it can be said that Malashenko understood what was going on as soon as he said it.

"So it would be more troublesome if a newly minted female Soviet hero died, is that right?"

"That's right, so I plan to give her an IS7, as well as medals and certificates. The things have been delivered to me now. Comrade Marshal approved them urgently, so I thought I might as well give them out tomorrow along with the car, so good things come in pairs."
