When I returned to the hall, I saw that it was empty, except for a few soldiers on duty in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the corpse lying on the ground. I grabbed a soldier passing by and asked, "What about the people in the hall?" ”

The soldier gestured to where the train was parked: "It's too cold here, Captain Bukov told everyone to go back to the train to warm up first." ”

Hearing the fighters say this, I was also relieved that these people were not in danger at least for a short time. He walked back to the doorway and continued our unfinished conversation with Senior Engineer Floning.

The old man asked me worriedly, "If I stay in this era, how will I survive?" ”

What is the fate of others, I don't know. But the old man Froningau was able to survive well with the skills he had mastered, and maybe even live better than in the future. I reassured him and said, "You don't have to worry about that, as a professional, you have a lot of skills that people don't know about in this era." As long as you contribute these skills to the authorities, you will be rewarded with honor and status. ”

"However, I am only an engineer in an arsenal, what kind of skills can I have, which the authorities need?"

Hearing him say this, I really couldn't laugh or cry, and kindly reminded him: "Comrade Senior Engineer, do you really not understand or are you pretending to be confused? The Soviet-German war that is now underway is what you later call the 'Great Patriotic War'. We are at a disadvantage in terms of weaponry compared to the enemy, and if you can provide the authorities with the military skills you have at your disposal, then we can hope to reverse this situation in the shortest possible time. Do you see what I mean? ”

"I understand what you mean," he said with some hesitation, "However, I have signed confidentiality agreements with the relevant departments before, and one of them is that you are not allowed to provide technology to a third party without authorization. If I want to provide technical skills to the government authorities, I must first ask the higher authorities for instructions......"

"Stop! Stop! Stop! I couldn't wait to interrupt him, and quickly leaned my back against the wall, so as not to faint from the popularity of a man like him, and then continued: "Comrade Senior Engineer, please first understand one thing, you are now in 1941, not 1975, where to go to your higher department? If you can find your superiors, do you still need to stand here and talk nonsense with me? After stabilizing the situation a little, he added: "Besides, you are helping the Soviet government, and it is not a hostile force, and there is no problem of leaking secrets or violating agreements." ”

After hearing what I said, he seemed to understand the taste, and asked a little uncertainly: "But even if I provide a lot of military techniques to the authorities, they can't be produced overnight and installed in the troops?" ”

I said angrily: "Comrade Senior Engineer, I ask you to pay attention to one point, in addition to the skills of tanks, airplanes, and artillery, you can consider giving priority to the weapons and skills of the infantry. ”

"Infantry's weapon skills?" He asked me with a blank face: "I still don't understand, please tell me more details." ”

"Today the infantry is armed with rifles and submachine guns. The rifle hits far, but the rate of fire is slow; Submachine guns can fire intensively, but the range is limited. Were there any guns of your time that combined the best of these two weapons? "Originally, I wanted to talk about the AK47 assault rifle, but I was afraid that it would be too shocking to say it, so I held back and purposefully guided him to say what I wanted him to say.

He pondered for a moment, and then asked me tentatively: "Comrade commander, have you ever heard of a man named Kalashnikov?" He was very young, not yet twenty years old. ”

Hearing this familiar name, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and said in my heart: Thank God, your old man finally remembered the inventor of AK47, so he nodded, stood up straight, and said unhurriedly: "I know a man named Kalashnikov, his full name is Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov, he is a tankman, I wonder if he is the one you want to know?" ”

"Great!" The old man rushed up and hugged me, and exclaimed excitedly: "It's him, it's him!" Hahaha! The old man's exaggerated actions alarmed Ramis on the platform, and he ran over in three steps and two steps, and asked loudly: "Comrade division commander, what happened?" ”

"It's nothing, I'm chatting with Senior Engineer Floning." I carefully broke free from the old man's embrace and digressed the subject: "How's the bomb?" ”

"The sappers have removed the bomb fuse, and the danger has been eliminated."

"Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina, where are you?" I was just about to speak, when suddenly a voice called out to me. I hurriedly retreated through the doorway to the hall, turned my head to look in the direction from which the voice came, and saw Colonel Bezikov, dressed in a brand new army coat, walking down the steps with several soldiers.

Seeing him appear, I felt very cordial and hurriedly stepped forward. He walked up to him and stopped, saluted him, and said happily: "Hello, Comrade Colonel, we meet again." ”

Instead of returning the salute, Bezikov grabbed me by the shoulders, pulled me aside, and whispered, "What the hell is going on?" So anxious to let me come. ”

I also whispered, "Comrade Colonel, this is a bit too unbelievable, and if you don't come to see it yourself, you will never believe it." ”

"Tell me, you didn't say it, how do you know if I don't believe it?"

"When I went in here to hide from the air raid just now, a German bomb penetrated the soil and marble ceiling more than ten meters back and fell on the railroad tracks," I pointed in the direction of the bomb with my hand and continued: "Fortunately, the bomb did not explode, and when we were observing from the platform, a subway train suddenly came ......"

"This can't be?!" Bezikov interrupted me, "Although the circular subway has been under construction for a long time, as far as I know, of the six subway stations that are beginning to take shape, only this one has a section of railroad tracks, and nothing else. Since there are no railroad tracks, where did the train come from, did it fall from the sky? ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "Comrade Colonel, maybe this train really fell from the sky. The car was full of passengers, but from what I had just observed, these people were not from our time, they were from another time and space. ”

"What?" His mouth opened wide in surprise, with an incredulous expression: "Another plane? ”

"Yes." I replied in the affirmative: "I saw a newspaper in the carriage with the date of July 23, 1975. What's more, it's winter, and those passengers are all dressed in summer, which is not a fake. ”

"Really? It's incredible. Even though he heard me say this, he still couldn't accept the reality because it was too much for him to imagine.

"Really," I replied in the affirmative again, "believe me, it's absolutely true. ”

He let go of his grip on my shoulder, stood there for a moment, and then asked me, "What can you do if you ask me to come in person?" ”

"Just now Second Lieutenant Dolnikov of the Ministry of Internal Affairs wanted to shoot all these people as German spies. You know that although my rank is higher than his, he belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I have no right to prevent him from making a decision, so I have to move you out temporarily. I organized the words in my mind for a moment before I continued: "I found that among the passengers, there was actually a senior engineer of the later Arsenal, who mastered many techniques unknown to people of our time. Once we can obtain these skills, our troops' technical equipment will make a qualitative leap. ……”

Hearing me say this, Bezikov's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask me: "Where is the senior engineer you are talking about?" ”

"Whoa!" I pointed to Floning, who was standing in the doorway, and said, "Isn't that right?" His name was Floning, and he was a senior engineer in a later ordnance factory. ”

"Great, great!" Bezkov excitedly said: "I am going to call Comrade Stalin, report this information to him, ask him to make a decision. Where's the phone? As soon as I pointed to the location of the phone, he had already run over, and after a few steps, he stepped back and asked cautiously, "Do you say that these future people know the outcome of this war?" Can we achieve the ultimate victory? ”

"Yes," I replied in the affirmative without asking the passengers: "According to the newspaper reports, in 1975 we had troops in Berlin and many other European countries. You say, this war, did we win or lose? ”

"Got it, hehehe!" Bezkov listened to my words of comfort and excitedly ran to the phone.

After not doing much, Bezikov came over and said: "Comrade Stalin gave an order to immediately protect the engineer and send him to the Kremlin, where he was to receive him personally." I just called the duty room and asked them to send a special car to pick up the engineer. ”

I accompanied Bezkov to Fronin and introduced him: "This is Colonel Bezikov of the Central Guard Regiment, and later he will take you to the Kremlin to meet Comrade Stalin, please get ready." ”

"Comrade Stalin?!" When Floning heard the news, he couldn't help but be stunned, his body shook a few times, and he fell backwards. I hurriedly took the lead and grabbed him from behind. I understand his feelings at the moment, and although the Soviet Union had long since denied everything from the Stalin era in the 70s, it was also exciting to meet this world-famous leader.

After I held him, I whispered behind him: "Uncle, pay attention to your body, don't get excited!" After meeting Comrade Stalin, remember what to say and what not to say, understand? ”

Fronin turned his head to look at me, nodded, and then said in an almost inaudible voice, "I see, Xie Lu, thank you for the reminder." ”

As if he had found a treasure, Bezikov's face was full of smiles, and he pulled Flonin and wanted to go out, but I stopped him: "Comrade Colonel, please wait." ”

"What's the matter?" He asked, puzzled.

"There are eight or nine hundred passengers on the train, and there should be many technicians and workers from arsenals or various machinery factories, they are all a valuable asset, don't miss it." I don't know what will happen next, and I don't know what the authorities will do with these passengers, so I can only find a way to save one by one.

"What you said makes sense, I'll arrange someone to do it right away." After Bezkov finished speaking, he gave a loud order: "Seryosha, where is Lieutenant Seryosha?" ”

"Here!" With his shout, Lieutenant Seryosha ran up to him, stood up and saluted, and reported: "Report to Comrade Colonel, Lieutenant Seryosha came on your orders and is waiting for your orders!" ”

"Take a few men to the train at once, and ask who else are the workers and technicians of the arsenal or the machine factory. If so, bring them all to me. ”

"Understood!" Seryosha agreed, turned and ran away. Bezkov turned around again and ordered the fighters who followed him: "Call the duty room immediately and ask them to send a few more trucks." ”

Seryosha's efficiency is quite high, and he brought a group of people over in a few minutes, and I roughly counted the number of people, there were about 150 people, except for about 20 women, all of them were men, old, middle-aged and young. As soon as he came over, he happily said to Bezikov: "Comrade Colonel, I did not expect that these passengers have quite a complete range of jobs, including turners, electricians, fitters, riveters and welders......

Flonin suddenly shouted excitedly at the crowd: "Serekin! Is that you? It's a pleasure to see you here. ”

A middle-aged man wearing glasses walked out of the crowd, stepped forward to support Floning, and said happily: "Senior Engineer Floning, I'm also very happy to see you here." ”

Fronin turned to the side and introduced to Bezikov next to him: "This is Serekin engineer from our factory, he is in charge of the design and manufacture of firearms. ”

"Good, good!" Bezikov was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and said proudly: "Welcome, welcome, the more talents like you, the better." Seryosha was instructed: "Comrade lieutenant, you take them outside the subway station, and as soon as the car sent by the duty room arrives, send them to the ...... Go. "Because his voice suddenly became quieter when he said the name of the place, I only heard a series of numbers, and I guessed it was some kind of secret unit.

Seeing that hundreds of people could leave, the rest of the passengers panicked, and all ran to the hall with hula, shouting loudly that they also wanted to leave this place of right and wrong. There were so many people shouting that I couldn't hear what they were shouting, and the originally quiet hall became like a vegetable market.

Second Lieutenant Dolnikov stood in front of the crowd, brandishing a pistol and shouting loudly, trying to stop the panic. But his voice was drowned out by the cacophony of passengers, and although I was standing not far from him, I couldn't hear what he was shouting.

The vehicle arranged by Bezkov arrived, and he arranged for Seryosha to lead everyone into the car, and then he stayed and continued to follow the development of events. There are nearly 700 people left, and how to settle these people is not up to him.

When the noise in the hall calmed down, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs also arrived. There were quite a few people coming, at least fifty or sixty people, and the leader was a major, and when he saw that his superior was coming, Second Lieutenant Dolnikov hurriedly ran over and reported to him.

After a short while, the major came over, stopped in front of Colonel Bezikov, and reported to him: "Hello, Comrade Colonel! I am Major Zuyev of the NKVD, and I was ordered to take over here. ”

Bezkov raised his hand and touched the brim of his hat, which was considered a salute, and asked, "What are you going to do with these people?" ”

The major replied with a blank face: "I was ordered to send them to a labor camp. ”

"Let's go on a mission!" Bezkov nodded, then stood with his waist crossed and did not say another word.

The major first pushed the fighters of the battalion far away, and then asked the fighters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to rearrange a new cordon, before he walked to the crowd and said loudly: "Attention, attention, everyone!" In groups of twenty, you will walk out in a line, and our warriors will guide you out of the city and leave in a car. If anyone dares to run around and shout, they will be severely punished! ”

After he shouted his words a few times, there was a cacophony in the crowd at first, but soon it quieted down, and at first a few people came out, and then more people followed. As soon as they came out, two fighters guided them outside the subway station.

Everything seemed to be going well, and in less than five minutes, there were only seventy or eighty passengers left in the hall. I saw that the evacuation was going in an orderly manner, so I was relieved, turned to look at Bezikov, and just wanted to ask him when we could leave, but something happened.

I turned my head to see the train driver, who was wrapped in strips of cloth torn from his shirt and covered in blood, shouting, "No! …… No! …… I don't go to the labor camps, I don't go to the labor camps. I'm not a German spy, the Great Patriotic War has been won, and the Germans have already been beaten back to Berlin by us......"

Hearing his shout, the fighters who had wanted to step forward to pull him stopped and looked back at Major Zuyev and Second Lieutenant Dolnikov. At this time, the driver shouted a sentence that should not be shouted: "Stalin, the dictator, is dead, you can't send me to the Gulag Archipelago!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the earth was immediately shattered, not to mention the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even Bezikov beside me was furious, he brushed the ground and pulled out his pistol and walked forward.

The driver turned and ran towards the platform, apparently trying to escape to the train. As soon as he ran a few steps, he was knocked down by bullets fired from several pistols, and he fell to the ground without a snort.

"Run!" I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and everyone ran to the train.

Without warning, a dazzling white light came out of the doorway, and my eyes were suddenly white, and I could not see anything, except for the sound of gunfire in my ears.

After I don't know how long it took, my eyes regained their ability to see, and although there were still dark shadows dangling in front of me, I could see things clearly. I walked towards the platform and found that the subway train parked on the tracks was gone, and the platform was littered with the bodies of the traversers.

I was so frightened that I took a few steps back and sat on the ground, my heart was in turmoil, and these people who did not belong to this era disappeared from this world in such a tragic way. And me? I don't belong to this era, will my fate be more tragic than theirs? When I think about this, I feel a chill in my back and a wave of fear in my heart.
