Chapter 3247: Intensify the Issuance of Medals

Malachenko thought so, but Xunzong didn't think so.

Not only did he not think this was unreasonable, but he also explained it to Malachenko seriously.

"But, Nikolai has reached the age allowed to get married, right?"

""

Thinking about what he and Xunzong were talking about, it was completely irrelevant and not on the same line at all.

Malachenko, who was a little anxious, hurriedly replied.

"Comrade Leader, I think the age gap between Galina and Nikolai is too big. They are not of the same generation. It may be difficult for them to have anything in common, let alone fall in love and get married. It's not that Nikolai is not of marriageable age."

"Besides, Nikolai is stubborn and obstinate. He doesn't listen to anyone except his mother, including me as a father."

"It is precisely because this child is very rebellious that I am willing to let him go to the army to gain some experience. If he gets married with Galina like this, I am afraid that..."

Malachenko didn't finish his words, thinking that the meaning had come to this point. Xunzong was not at the stage of Alzheimer's disease at this time, so he would definitely understand.

Hearing Malachenko explain his meaning in detail again, Brezhnev understood it this time and nodded slowly without misunderstanding.

"You have a point, Comrade Malashenko, but I think Nikolai is very similar to you when you were young, full of energy and positive fighting spirit."

"I think Galina will be happy if she marries Nikolai. Young talents like Nikolai should be promoted."

"You can promote him to the position of school-level commander as soon as possible, and give him medals. You can give him several medals, the "Malashenko Medal", to encourage him, so that he will have greater positive motivation. Become a general as soon as possible, preferably before the age of 30, and become a hero respected by everyone like his father."

""

Malashenko was speechless and had nothing to say.

I am the Minister of Defense, and my son is like this.

What will other comrades think? A little kid in his early 20s is in a high position and full of honors. Isn't the promotion of military rank and the awarding of honors a mess? "The collapse of rituals and music is just like this."

Malashenko was promoted to general before he was 30 years old, and that was based on the countless heads of Nazis and Japanese devils. The more honors he had, the higher the mountain of heads of Nazis and Japanese devils he had.

What was Nikolai's basis? Just because his father was a Soviet marshal and his wife was a princess who was 21 years older than him and could be his mother?

Malashenko knew that Xunzong's words were a kind of hint. If it were someone else, they would really be happy for it, but his own stinky boy didn't buy it at all, so he could only continue to speak to Xunzong helplessly.

"Nikolai is not a child who likes to take shortcuts. To be honest, Comrade Leader, he has never even acknowledged me as his father in public."

"Compared to the identity of the marshal's eldest son, he prefers others to see him as an ordinary person. He likes the sense of accomplishment of struggling with his own strength, which is what his mother and I cannot give him."

"It is with the dream of surpassing me as a father that Nikolai will join the army. While serving the motherland, he also tries to prove that he will definitely be stronger than me. As a father, of course I am very happy to see that he is ambitious and down-to-earth, but, you know, a child like him may not be so interested in what you say."

"Um--"

Hearing this, Xunzong nodded to indicate that he knew and understood. It seems that his sudden whim, intentional matchmaking, and the marriage that follows the parents' route is indeed not easy to handle.

But even at this point, Xunzong, who was still unwilling to give up, once again chased after Malashenko and said.

"Maybe we can try to let the two children exchange letters first, and arrange for the two children to call each other first, and then meet each other, so that they can get to know each other."

"Galina will definitely have a good impression of such an excellent child like Nikolai. Nikolai is exactly the same as you when you were young, Comrade Malashenko."

Xunzong was right about one thing. Nikolai is indeed very similar to Malashenko when he was young.

Whether it is the determination to make a career with his own strength, or the appearance and height, they are almost a zero-remake of Malashenko.

If he walks around the street, he will indeed attract the attention of girls.

However, the more this is the case, the more Malashenko believes that his eldest son will never be the one who will accept such a marriage.

This is not only unreasonable, but also contrary to Nikolai's ambitions and ideals.

But Xunzong has already said so much, knowing that Malashenko is not giving face if he is not tactful, he can only say it with a little helplessness in the end.

"I will tell Nikola, Comrade Leader, to see if he is interested in this."

"Well, that's good, very good, very good! Comrade Malashenko, in addition--"

While speaking, Xunzong turned his head and turned sideways, turned to his desk, sat on the sofa and took a report.

While reading it, he did not forget to speak at the same time, and said to Malashenko who was sitting on another single sofa next to him.

"Comrade Malashenko, in order to commend your outstanding contributions to national defense construction and military development, I am going to propose to award you another Victory Medal, what do you think?"

""

To be honest, the last time Malashenko was awarded the Order of Victory, he felt that he was "rewarded for doing work for corn".

He guided the Soviet tank industry and took the lead in making major breakthroughs in the field of artillery-launched missiles, which the Americans had tried hard but were quite incompetent. Comrade "missile man" was overjoyed and regarded it as a "major victory". He gave him a "Victory Medal" with a clear signal.

But the background of the times and various circumstances at that time did not allow Malashenko to have any rejection or displeasure based on rational choices. Otherwise, he might get into trouble. He had no choice but to accept it.

Now, because of a similar "the emperor is very happy" reason, the medal was awarded for a reason that was completely irrelevant and did not match the conditions for the awarding of the Order of Victory itself.

Malashenko felt that this was not to bring glory and honor to himself, but to ruin his reputation in the mouths of future generations several years later.

I, Malashenko, have lived for most of my life, working diligently and conscientiously, and I am a ox among oxen and horses. Am I going to lose my integrity in my old age?

No, I can't do that. Now that I have room to maneuver, I have to try to refuse.

Thinking of this, Malashenko, who had made up his mind, thought about it again and again, organized his words, and then spoke slowly.
