Chapter 3084: Slavic Superman's Gift

While Chen Weiguo and Lao Wei were enjoying the unique scenery at the battlefield ruins, Arsim, who had returned from the battlefield with his "treasure", also rushed to see his "idol". The Slavic superman of this era is literally a "star chaser".

"Comrade Commander, look at what treasure I brought you! This was obtained from a lieutenant general division commander of the Japanese devils. It is said that it was given by the Japanese emperor."

Arsim, who had the power to meet Malashenko directly, used his "privilege" and went straight to Malashenko's military headquarters in the county town without reporting and asking for instructions. He directly threw the command knife in his hand on the table with the war zone map spread out.

""

Looking at the thing that Arsim threw on the table.

Malashenko hesitated a little and first looked up at Arsim's expression, and found that the Slavic superman brothers were now super excited, as if they were looking forward to something strongly.

Of course, Malashenko, who could understand this expectation, kept silent at first, put down the combat document he had just picked up, and came to the table accompanied by the political commissar who came over after hearing the sound, and picked up the command knife thrown on the table and began to study it carefully.

"Wow, golden fringing??"

Malashenko, who held this thing in his hand, saw the two bright golden cloths on the scabbard at a glance. Knowing what this meant, Malashenko continued to look at the material of the scabbard, and after rubbing it in his hands for a while, he immediately reacted to what this thing was.

"Oil bubble shark skin is a complete piece peeled off from a whole piece of shark skin, and there is not even a seam on the scabbard."

Before crossing in the previous life, because of personal hobbies, he had a period of understanding and research on Japanese swords.

Malashenko, who has complete memories of his previous life, knows clearly that shark skin is already the top material for the scabbard of Japanese swords, with good anti-slip, easy to hold and durable storage effects.

The Japanese had many so-called "rare swords" with scabbards that were handed down, which were covered with shark skin. It should be said that being able to use such things is a symbol of preciousness.

The command swords worn by ordinary Japanese lieutenants and lower-level lieutenants were enough with a wooden scabbard, so why did they need a bicycle with outer packaging?

Holding the scabbard and moving the eyes to the handle, the scabbard decorated with chrysanthemum patterns and the end of the handle came into view.

Combined with the golden fringes on the scabbard, Malashenko was almost certain that what Alsim said about "the emperor's gift" was true.

Malashenko, who was still silent, drew the sword out of the scabbard the next second.

The cold and shining blade had a complete blood groove and wavy blade patterns. On the blade near the end of the scabbard, there was also a bright chrysanthemum relief.

The length of the whole knife, including the blade and sheath, is about 1.1 meters. For the Japanese devils who are 1.6 meters tall and considered "strong" in those days, this is indeed a long weapon of considerable size.

Holding it with one hand, he weighed it and looked at it repeatedly. Malashenko, who could not see anything fancy, sheathed the knife and put it back on the table, and spoke quietly.

"How did you get this thing? From whom?"

Finally, the time when the army commander asked this question came, and Alsim, who was overjoyed, followed up.

"He is a Japanese lieutenant general division commander. His name is uh, what's his name? Oh, yes, Akagi Aokawa."

"He is an old Japanese soldier in his fifties. He is not even as tall as my chest. He is just a short guy. But the knife in his hand is completely different from the ones in other Japanese soldiers' hands. Sulovichenko caught a Japanese staff officer and used some tricks to find out that the knife was given by the Japanese emperor."

"I heard that their division commander accompanied the emperor on a hunting tour, but they were attacked by wild beasts. The old Japanese soldier was rewarded for his meritorious service."

"It is said that the emperor was so happy that he took it off his belt and rewarded it on the spot. The old Japanese soldier regarded this thing as a treasure and carried it with him all the time. In the end, he never thought that it would fall into the hands of our Red Army."

"Hmm"

Malashenko nodded after hearing this and looked at the knife again. If it was the emperor's personal sword, then the decorative appearance would make sense.

Indeed, this kind of knife is a rare top-level trophy on the battlefield. Even if it is in the hands of the commander of the Kwantung Army, it may not be as good as this thing. This is a thing that the emperor took off from his belt on the spot when he was happy.

Alsim was lucky to get this thing, because the name of the Japanese division commander just now aroused some interest in Malashenko.

"The last name is Akagi, which is the same as the Akagi aircraft carrier. Many otakus' wives are also called this? It's quite fun."

Malashenko smiled and shook his head. The image of a fox ship girl with many tails emerged in his mind. It was a memory brought from the previous life before crossing, but he didn't think much about it and smiled it off.

As for how to deal with this knife, Malashenko had other plans and didn't plan to keep it for himself.

I heard that the Leader's Army had just won a great victory. Vatutin just hung up the phone a few minutes ago and said that he would come to the Leader's Army to inspect it tonight.

The old leader was coming, so Malashenko naturally couldn't come empty-handed, and he had to make the necessary preparations.

A long time ago, a set of custom-made Luger pistols were sent to Zhukov, but Vatutin himself had not sent anything. Now it seems that this knife came just in time.

"Well, it is appropriate for the marshal to take this knife. It just happens to be a gift for the promotion to marshal. I haven't sent anything yet."

As the commander-in-chief who led the army to conquer Königsberg, the core of East Prussia, and thus put a perfect end to the entire battle.

On the eve of the Red Square parade, Vatutin received a promotion award from his father, Comrade Stalin, and officially became the last batch of marshals promoted in the last train of the Great Patriotic War.

Before the previous life, Malashenko felt a little sorry for Vatutin every time he saw his resume.

If Vatutin had not been killed by the rebels in Ukraine, he could have continued to fight on the front line of the Great Patriotic War. He was absolutely qualified to be promoted to marshal with his military talent. Too many people who were not as talented as Vatutin, or even far behind, were later promoted to marshals.

In this timeline, Vatutin, who was rescued by Malashenko, did it, and he did it with real swords and guns, and he became a battlefield marshal after he made a fortune in the Germans.

The only regret is that Malashenko and the leader division had been transferred to the First Belarusian Front commanded by Zhukov to participate in the final battle against the Nazis - the Battle of Berlin. This was a task that must be completed based on the special political significance of the leader division.

He was unable to personally make a fortune with Vatutin, and he was unable to participate in the crucial battle for Vatutin's promotion to marshal.

Now using this knife as a promotion gift to make up for it, Malashenko, with a smile on his face, felt that it was not bad.
