Chapter 3243 Malashenko Medal

He only kissed Malashenko on the left and right cheeks. Before Brezhnev, who didn't kiss her mouth to mouth, could react, Malashenko raised his hand to salute solemnly.

This was a good way to cover up the problem and ignore the details of the last kiss.

It not only kept Malashenko's record of never kissing a man mouth to mouth, but also ensured that Xunzong would not be embarrassed. It was the best of both worlds.

To be honest, Malashenko was very happy to be treated as one of Xunzong's own people and given the highest courtesy of "triple kisses" right away. This meant that his life would be much better in the future, at least he would no longer be "exiled to the border and unable to return home".

But the good intentions can be appreciated, but the etiquette is absolutely unacceptable.

You said that the first two kisses were fine, as for the cheeks, they were still acceptable.

But the third mouth-to-mouth kiss was really unbearable. What kind of thing is it for two grown men to do this? Fortunately, Malashenko has the advantage of being almost a head taller and has absolute initiative.

If he was really as tall as Xunzong, he would probably not be able to avoid this last kiss anyway.

"Ah, very good, Comrade Malashenko. I'm glad you're here. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Please sit down."

Comrade Brezhnev, who was really happy today, obviously didn't intend to care about the details just now. He immediately responded to Malashenko's salute and raised his hand to invite Malashenko to sit down and talk.

When the two sat down one after another, Brezhnev, who had instructed the secretary on duty to serve tea to the guests, smiled and spoke.

"I'm sorry you've been wronged for so long, Comrade Malashenko. Your reputation and treatment have been treated unfairly in the past. This is not good, very bad! Mistakes must be corrected."

"This time, the Supreme Command has decided to fill the gap for you and let you serve as the commander of the armored tank troops. The outstanding contributions you have made to the development of the army and national defense in the past few years have been witnessed by all comrades. The recognition is unanimous, and it is the most appropriate for you to take up this position, and it is also the comrades' expectation."

Now that Brezhnev is not too old to be unable to think straight, he speaks clearly and properly. He made a speech of "speaking up for the injustice and injustice of Comrade Malashenko", which made Comrade Ma "grateful and crying", at least on the surface, he must have thanked him repeatedly.

Malashenko thought that the explosive news should be here, but he didn't expect that there would be more explosive news waiting for him next.

"In addition, the Supreme Command has decided to establish a new military honor in your name, called the "Malachenko Medal". It is used to honor those comrades who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of commanding operations, military construction and national defense development. You will be the second person to receive this honor."

As he spoke, Brezhnev did not forget to hand over the relevant documents on the establishment of new military honors to Malachenko for his personal review.

On the surface, it seems nothing, but in fact, Malachenko, who was stunned and shocked in his heart, quickly looked through the documents and breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that the honor level of this "Malachenko Medal" was not high, just on the same level as the commemorative medals of major battles, and it was far from being comparable to the top honors such as "Hero of the Soviet Union" and "Medal of Victory".

The fields of issuance are also very broad. As the emperor said, almost any field that has something to do with the military can be issued. To be honest, it is not conspicuous in the rather complex Soviet honor system, and it will not attract too much attention.

Malashenko, who didn't want his name to make a big splash, was thankful. Suddenly, he remembered what Comrade Brezhnev had just said, "You will be the second person to receive this honor," and couldn't help wondering who the first person would be.

He was about to ask a question subconsciously, but his mind also turned at the same time.

Remembering some of Comrade Brezhnev's "special hobbies," Malashenko felt that it would be better to put away this "knowingly asked" question for the time being.

Then came the new position and some work matters, which were just the same.

Malashenko, who has always focused on his career, could answer any question fluently. Brezhnev, who already admired Comrade Malashenko, was even more overjoyed, and called Comrade Malashenko a pillar of the country and a hero of the motherland.

After solving this mess, Malashenko, who touched his face that was kissed twice by a big man and almost a third time, shook his head and quickly left the Kremlin to go home.

Before reaching the curb, Malokov, who was riding a bicycle, was leaning against the car and waving at him.

"Aren't you going back to work? Why are you here again?"

He opened the door and got in the car. After the car started, Malashenko sat in the passenger seat and spoke.

Malokov, who was the driver himself, smiled and waved his hand, holding a cigarette lit between his fingertips and replied while driving.

"I just remembered that something was wrong when I got back. Your assigned car, guards, and drivers can only be in place after you officially take office at the Ministry of Defense and complete the formalities. So how are you going back now? Take a taxi? It's not that you can't, but it's unreasonable for you to be so cold after returning after 7 years."

That's the reason, but Malashenko never thought that he would be treated specially.

He has experienced ups and downs over the years, and now he doesn't care about this anymore.

"What about now? Go home directly or."

"Go home. I want to give Natalia and the two children a surprise. I haven't seen them for a long time."

"Well, this is like you and in line with your style. But there is something I have to remind you of, which may not be a good thing."

Before Malashenko could speak, Malokov turned the steering wheel and turned the car across the intersection and continued.

"The second child is actually okay. Kirill understands and respects you. He is much more mature and reliable than children of the same age. I look forward to you coming home early one day."

"But the eldest child, Nikolai, has a little problem."

"Over the years, I have watched them grow up, and often visited their teachers at school, paying attention to their growth secretly, and trying not to let the brothers know."

"Nikolai is a very strong child, but he has been ridiculed and bullied by many classmates and older children over the years, saying that he is a child without a father and that his father will never come back. They are all children from high-ranking families. Some things about you have spread in Moscow a long time ago, and I guess the children have heard it too. When he heard what the adults said at home, he followed suit and brought it to school. "

"You also know that children's words are innocent. I can't interfere in the children's affairs. I can only ask the teacher to guide and take care of Nick. "

"But Nick has heard these words many times and has his own ideas. He thinks it's your fault. It's because you haven't been home that he has suffered all this, and his mother has suffered and had to raise two children alone. "

"After all, this child is experiencing these things personally. As adults and elders, we must also be considerate of the children. To be honest, I don't think the fault lies with Nick, and of course not with you, but you and your son should really communicate more. "
