Chapter 2942 I Think Maybe This Is the Answer

"Malachenko, tell me that you have already won the victory. The motherland and countless comrades are waiting for your good news.

No need to guess, there is only one person who can make a special call to Malachenko's front-line command post at this time and start asking Malachenko how far away from victory he is.

"Report to Comrade Marshal, I have ordered the organization of multiple commandos to launch the final charge. The spearhead troops have now broken through the enemy's defenses on the second floor of the Capitol and are heading towards the third floor."

"It is expected to take about an hour, at most more than an hour! We will be able to take full control of the Capitol, and the victory flag you personally awarded to my department will fly over the stopped evil heart of the Nazis! I promise you! ”

Malachenko is not a person who likes to speak too much. If he speaks too much, he will cut off his retreat. This is contrary to the life wisdom of "always leaving yourself room for maneuver" and is not what a smart person should do.

However, there are exceptions to everything, including what people like Malachenko will encounter.

Before being a "smart person", Malachenko had another identity that existed at the same time, and it had a higher priority, that is, the identity of a soldier.

Since the invention of the thing called "military order" by human wisdom, as a soldier, sometimes you have to make a final statement and take an oath. Soldiers always have tasks that must be completed by soldiers, and this will never change at any time.

"That's not fast enough, Malachenko. "

""

Malachenko thought he had spoken the time very quickly. He didn't expect that Comrade Zhu would ask for more. He didn't know what to say for a moment, but heard Zhukov still talking on the other end of the phone.

"If you can put the victory flag on the top of the Capitol within an hour, within an hour."

"Then I will personally draft an honor application for you. You will be eligible for the third Soviet Hero Award, and you will also have another honor in the title of Leader Division. All of this is what you deserve. But the premise is that you have to lead your troops to create miracles. "

It's not that if Malashenko didn't storm the Capitol within an hour, he wouldn't be eligible for the third Soviet Hero Award. He's not extreme left or right in everything. It's just that "Zhukov personally drafted the application for Malashenko" is a very important extra reward. That's it.

To say that Zhukov was not bragging when he said this, there is really no possibility that the Soviet Hero Award would not be approved after he drafted the application. Another main reason is that Zhukov really didn't apply for this top award in his personal name.

But there is only one exception, that is Malashenko, who was promoted and supported by him to his current position.

Strictly speaking, this is the second time that Zhukov has personally applied for the Hero of the Soviet Union Award for Malashenko. Malashenko's first Hero of the Soviet Union Award was written by Zhukov.

Comrade Lao Ma estimated that he might not have the opportunity to get the fourth time in his life. The best he could get is three times.

You know, "Four Soviet Hero Awards" is a noble treatment. Comrade Lao Ma knows his own weight and knows What is your name? I know that your name is "Malachenko" instead of "Brezhnav". I can't afford the treatment of the honorary title, so forget it.

So if you really think about it, the first Soviet Hero Award was from Zhukov, and the last Soviet Hero Award was also from Zhukov.

In a sense, this can be regarded as a beginning and an end, right? Hmm?

Malachenko is quite satisfied with this result, and of course he is happy to accept this third hero honor.

But the premise is that Malachenko really has to let his troops within an hour. The team planted the flag on the top of the Capitol.

Faced with such a huge temptation of honor, most, at least 98% of the senior commanders of the Red Army, would pat their chests and swear on the spot that they would definitely complete the task, even if their front teeth broke, they would bite down the roof of the Capitol and plant the flag within an hour.

But Malashenko is different, he just doesn't take the usual path.

"Compared to the honor of the third Soviet Hero, Comrade Marshal, I care more about the lives of my comrades, the most ordinary soldiers."

"Life is precious for everyone only once, but whenever possible, I hope my soldiers will follow the steps and order and carry out the combat mission according to the established plan. Instead of disrupting the rhythm and forcing a fierce attack because of the honor of the third Soviet Hero of the division commander, paying a greater price in casualties. ”

“For me personally, seeing one more battle-hardened soldier return home, seeing one more mother, wife, child, brother or sister, even one more family, embracing their heroic son, husband, father, brother or sister in laughter, is a greater honor than the third Soviet Hero Award.”

“It is my supreme duty to lead all the comrades of the leadership division to victory, but at the same time, I also shoulder the mission of bringing our comrades and comrades home. They entrusted their lives to me and gave me the highest trust; then I have the obligation to be responsible for their lives and be worthy of this trust from beginning to end with a clear conscience.”

"I'm sorry, Marshal, I may disappoint you by saying this. But this is indeed what I have always been strict with myself and asked myself to do my best."

""

There was no response from the other end of the phone for the time being. Malashenko seemed to be thinking about something. He just held the microphone in his hand and waited quietly for the result.

"For a long time, I have been thinking about why your leadership division has such a strong cohesion and what is your secret of victory. I think maybe this is the answer, Malashenko."

"The soldiers unconditionally entrust their lives to the general, and the general responds with the determination to give up his supreme personal reputation, shoulder this trust, and never abandon it."

"If every division of our Red Army can do this, why worry about strong enemies that are invincible? The road ahead is arduous and long, but at least someone has set an example for us."

"Go ahead, Malashenko. You and your comrades will get all the honors you deserve, I can assure you about this. Just like your current state, this is also the task I must complete."
