Chapter 3241 Marshal's Day
Although it was a little later than in history, the result was the same. Khrushchev was eventually driven out of the Kremlin by a group of people who were seriously dissatisfied with him.
Instead, there was the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who proved his ambition with medals - Brezhnev.
As Lavrinenko had predicted earlier, it was from this moment that Malashenko's life trajectory took a turn for the better.
"Restore the honor of Comrade Malashenko!"
This was the ear-splitting sound Brezhnev shouted in front of everyone at the first conference after taking office.
After hearing this, everyone in the meeting looked at each other in shock, completely unable to guess what the words were referring to.
"But Comrade Leader, Comrade Malashenko has not been deprived of any reputation. He even -"
"What are you talking about!? Comrade Malashenko has not been promoted to marshal yet. This is suppressing Comrade Malashenko's reputation. Restore Comrade Malashenko's reputation immediately!"
""
After understanding the meaning, the person who asked the question did not dare to say more, so he followed the crowd on the side and clapped his hands and applauded.
When the news reached East Germany, Malashenko, who was busy preparing for the next round of reorganization of Wittmann's East German 7th Tank Division, was so shocked that he almost dropped the document in his hand to the ground.
"Hey, why are you looking like this? It seems so unexpected. Isn't it something that comrades have already guessed that you, Malashenko, can be promoted to marshal?"
""
When his good brother Lavrinenko, who came to congratulate him and congratulate him on his promotion, said this, the blinking Malashenko began to come to his senses.
"Marshal? You mean, I, Malashenko, am the marshal now? Really?"
"The written promotion order issued by the Supreme Command has been sent. How can this be fake? Get out of here and make room for me. Your position as commander of the East German cluster belongs to me."
Malashenko not only received a promotion in military rank, but also received new positions and transfers.
According to the document sent from Moscow, Malashenko will be ordered to "return to Beijing to report on his work." After being promoted to the rank of Commander of the Armored Forces after jumping two ranks in a row, he served as the Commander of the Soviet Armored Tank Forces and concurrently as Deputy Minister of Defense, overseeing the synthesis and adaptation of the various arms of the Soviet Army and supervising and guiding the development of the defense industry.
At the same time, the vacant East German cluster commander position will be filled by Lavrinenko, who Malashenko had previously recommended in a written report, and he will be promoted to the rank of general at the same time.
We have just seen off Malashenko on the front foot, and welcomed Malashenko's good brother on the back foot. I hope the people in the west can calm down and treat him normally.
Malashenko, who was made a joke by Lavrinenko, laughed and shook his head.
After thinking about it, he was about to bid farewell to the post of commander of the East German cluster that he had held for 7 years. Malashenko still had a lot of reluctance in his heart, and there were also many things that he had originally planned to do but had not yet had time to do or had not finished. At present, it seems that Lavrinenko can only be left to take over from him.
"Then I'll leave the rest to you. I'll pack up and leave as soon as possible. Before I leave, I will prepare a handover report for you. If you encounter any problems later, feel free to contact me to solve them."
"But I'm still not sure what the current situation and wind direction in Moscow is. I was suddenly given so many promotions and positions. I really don't understand what this means."
It is normal for Malashenko to have doubts.
After being "exiled to the border" for so long, he suddenly "returned to Beijing for a promotion", and it happened so suddenly without any warning.
Lavrinenko, who was particularly sensitive to this aspect and often inquiring about information, thought about it for a moment, rolled his eyes and then spoke to Malashenko behind the desk in front of him.
"Moscow has changed a lot recently, and the situation has completely changed. You also know the reason. Our "missile man" comrade has finally retired."
"Although the specific situation is unknown, I always feel that Moscow has completely changed its attitude towards you."
"Recently, many senior generals who were deposed by the "Missile Man" have restored their reputations or are discussing restoring their reputations. I guess you may be part of them. Although your end is far less miserable than some people, these 7 years have passed. You have indeed been treated unfairly over the years, and look, you are still a meritorious person.”
"How many great things have you done in the past seven years? The courage of those bastards in the west is almost scared out of their mouths by you. Damn it, for ordinary people, even two or three levels are not too much."
"But what about you? Except for the awards and victory medals, which are just the same whether they are there or not, they are only in name and have no actual changes, you have received nothing."
"Even if I make some compensation to you now, I think it is reasonable. In other words, it is precisely because of these supplementary behaviors that I feel that you are really going to "turn around."
"Okay, it sounds reasonable, so I'll lend you some good advice."
Malashenko, who spoke with a smile, was thinking about whether he should discuss the work handover again, when he saw Lavrinenko, who seemed to have suddenly thought of something in front of him, and spoke again.
"By the way, have you heard one more thing? That guy Malokov has changed his "master" again, and this guy has now become a "Red Man in Moscow"."
"Malokov? This, and this? What happened?"
Malokov had been loyal to that man before, working hard and dedicated to him. Malashenko knew this.
But I didn't expect that man to pack up and leave now. Malokov was not implicated, but still at ease. People were puzzled and amazed. They couldn't help but wonder how he did it.
Without letting Malashenko wait too long, Lavrinenko, who knew a little about the situation, spoke up immediately.
"I don't know the details, but I heard from my friends in Moscow that Malokov seemed to have collected a lot of key evidence and materials in advance, supported the actions of that group of people, and made great efforts in the retirement of Comrade "Missile Man". He stood in line in advance and stood in the right line."
"So this is what we see now. Not only is he fine, but he continues to be reused. And I heard that this guy has taken good care of your wife and children in the past few years. As long as there are troubles at home, big or small, he will help secretly even if he doesn't do it openly."
"I don't know the specific situation between you two, but you will definitely come back to Moscow this time. I will definitely see him more often. I thought, why not mend the relationship? Maybe there was some misunderstanding before, anyway, he really helped you a lot in the past 7 years, and that was under the premise that you were so far away from home. "
"If it were an ordinary person sitting in such a high position, who would care about your orphan and widow. Although it sounds harsh, it is the truth."
"Of course, these are just my suggestions. Maybe I am standing at a different angle and considering the problem incompletely. You can just take it as a reference and think about it yourself."
It took more than 7 million words, Lao Ma finally became a marshal, finally
I TM even cried while writing it, brothers.
