When I came out of the outpatient room, I saw Crochkov and Bezikov waiting outside, talking and laughing by a window in the corridor, and the conflict between the two seemed to have been completely resolved.

Seeing me come out, the two immediately greeted me and asked in unison, "How is the situation?" ”

Hearing the other person speak at the same time as himself, the two of them turned their heads to look at each other, and both had friendly smiles on their faces, and then turned their eyes to me, waiting for my answer.

I closed my right eye and looked at the two of them with my dilated left eye, and found that the world in front of me was blurry, so I quickly opened my right eye again to see the two people standing in front of me again.

I grabbed the two of them by the arms and dragged them down the hallway to a less crowded location. When I found a place away from the crowd, I stopped and said to the two of them: "The diagnosis came out, it was retinal detachment, and surgery should be performed as soon as possible, otherwise it will lead to blindness." ”

Crochkov had been mentally prepared for this and behaved quite normally. But Bezikov was taken aback, and I hurriedly snatched the case in my hand and examined it carefully. After reading it, he frowned and asked, "Lida, what the hell is going on, why did this happen suddenly?" ”

Seeing that not only Bezkov cared about this, but even Krochkov stared at me intently, I recounted the incident when Vasily stepped on a mine and the explosion affected me.

After listening to this, Bezikov's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said with an unusually serious expression: "Lida, there is something I haven't told you yet. Vassili. After Zaitsev was wounded, he was sent to Moscow, where he lived in this hospital. ”

"Ahh He also lives in this hospital? "I heard that one of my subordinates is important. I actually live in this hospital. I couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "How is his injury now?" ”

"At the time of the explosion, his hands and feet were injured to varying degrees." The answer to my question was not Bezikov, but Krochkov, who was standing next to him and did not speak, "After a period of treatment, these injuries are almost healed." The most troublesome thing is that his eyes are also injured, although he is not blind. But you can't be a sniper again. ”

Vasily has been injured for so long, it's the first time I've heard about him, I didn't expect his injuries to be so serious, and he won't even be able to be a sniper in the future, and I don't know if he, an excellent sniper, will be able to accept such a cruel reality after learning the news?

Crochkov took the case from Bezikov's hand, looked at it, and then said to me: "Oshanina, I'll take you to the inpatient department first." After you are settled, I will go back and report the matter to my superiors. ”

Hearing Krochkov say this, Bezkov also nodded. He chimed in: "Yes, wait until you are settled." I will also go back and report this to Marshal Zhukov. ”

I wanted to stop both of them from reporting to their superiors, but after thinking about it, if I were to be hospitalized in Moscow, it would not be a trivial matter, and they should report to their superiors, so I didn't say anything to stop them. After the two of them had finished speaking, I took the case from Crochkov's hand and asked, "Shall we go to the inpatient department now?" ”

"Needless to say, of course, I went to the inpatient department immediately." Krochkov, apparently familiar with the hospital's environment, beckoned to the two of us, "Come with me, I know the way to the inpatient department." With that, he turned around and walked to the other end of the hallway.

We followed Crochkov out of the outpatient building, through a clearing covered with snow, to another building a few dozen meters away.

Crochkov walked to the door of a confined room, knocked hard twice, and before the people inside could react, he pushed the door and walked in. Then I heard his stern voice come from inside: "Where's the doctor?" ”

He ...... He patrols ...... The patrol is gone! A female voice replied with some flusteredness.

"Get him back!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the female voice fell, a nurse in a white lab coat ran out of the house, and because she was running too fast, she bumped into me. I hurriedly supported the nurse who hit me, endured the pain in my body, and said politely: "Comrade nurse, don't worry, be careful." ”

The nurse, flushed with shame, glanced at me, nodded, and ran briskly down the corridor towards the front, presumably following Crochkov's orders to find the doctor on duty.

With the nurse gone, my worries came to my heart. Thinking that both of them were people who knew the inside story, I did not hide my worries: "Colonel Bezikov and Comrade Crochkov, if I am really hospitalized for surgery, will there be any variables in the matter of going to the reserve front?" ”

I popped up this question and really stopped the two of them. After a long while, Bezikov said in embarrassment: "Lida, as far as I know, the post of chief of staff of the reserve front is for you by Marshal Zhukov when he goes to the Supreme Commander himself, and if you are hospitalized for too long, it is estimated that this post will be replaced by someone else." Probably because he was afraid that I would be unhappy, he also specially added, "You must know that this is the time of war, and important positions cannot be vacant for a long time." ”

After Bezikov finished speaking, Krochkov also added: "As far as I know, it turned out that the superiors intended to appoint Lieutenant General Sandarov to the post of chief of staff, and later Marshal Zhukov went to meet with the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, and this appointment was adjusted. ”

Listening to the similarities between the two of them, I knew in my heart that as long as I was hospitalized, then the post of chief of staff of the reserve front army would definitely belong to someone else. However, compared with my own eyes, such a position seemed insignificant, so I pretended to be relaxed and said: "Let's change people, anyway, after I am discharged from the hospital, the superior leaders will not let me be idle all the time, and will definitely send me to a new unit." ”

As he spoke, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor. Following the sound, I saw a man and a woman hurrying towards us. The woman, of course, is the nurse who has just gone to the doctor; The man was wearing a white coat and a stethoscope around his neck, and at a glance he knew that he was the doctor on duty.

The doctor came to us and stopped. His gaze swept over the three of us. Then he asked me, "Comrade General." How can I help you? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, I saw the nurse gently pull his arm, and he bowed his mouth to Crochkov, whispering: "It is Comrade Crochkov from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who is looking for you!" ”

When the doctor heard the nurse say this, his face turned slightly red, and he quickly turned to Crochkov and asked respectfully: "Hello, I am the doctor on duty." Is there anything you can do? ”

Crochkov took the case from my hand, handed it to the doctor on duty, and said unceremoniously: "Comrade General has an eye injury and needs to be immediately hospitalized for surgery, you can arrange it as soon as possible." ”

The doctor took the case and looked at it, and then said politely to me: "Comrade General, please come with me." ”

Entering the doctor's cramped duty room, he sat across the table from me, looking down at the case in his hand. After reading it, he raised his head and said to me, "Comrade General. Your condition does require surgery as soon as possible. After saying that, he turned his head and asked the nurse standing nearby, "Go and have a look." Are there any spare beds? ”

The nurse went to the wall and hung a wooden board, carefully examined the small wooden sign hanging on it, and soon she turned back, shook her head at the doctor, and replied, "No, not one, all the wards are full." ”

"What, no hospital beds?" Before I could speak, Krochkov, who heard the nurse's reply, was furious: "Our hero is going to be hospitalized, and you actually told me that there are no spare beds. Believe it or not, I'll take you back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs at once, find someone to talk to you properly, and you'll find out that there are a lot of spare beds. ”

The doctors and nurses apparently knew Crochkov's identity, and when they heard his threatening words, they were immediately frightened. The doctor quickly got up from his seat, waved his hands desperately, and explained incoherently, "No...... It's not like that, hospital beds...... Sickbed...... True...... It really didn't ...... Without. Did you know ...... Know, now it's ...... Was during the war, in addition to the normal sick patients, also ...... There are also quite a few injuries...... The wounded also lived here. ”

I saw that the doctors and nurses were frightened by Crochkov and hurriedly came out to play a round. I smiled and said to Crochkov: "Comrade Crochkov, don't be like this, you see, you freak them all out. Then I comforted the doctor and said, "Don't be afraid, comrade doctor, if there are no extra beds in the ward, put me in the corridor, and the same." ”

The doctor glanced at my epaulettes again, and replied tremblingly, "But you are a general, how can you live in the corridor like an ordinary person?" ”

I was afraid that Crochkov and the others would have another seizure after hearing this, so I hurriedly grabbed the interface and said: "It's okay, if I don't wear this uniform, won't I be like an ordinary person." Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered that Bezikov said that Vasily also lived in the hospital, and hurriedly added, "By the way, Comrade Doctor, I heard that the famous sniper Vasily also lives here, can you help me arrange a bed outside his ward?" ”

"Comrade General, you are talking about Vasily . Zaitsev, right? When the doctor on duty heard Vasily's name, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and he said with some pride: "I didn't expect you to know him, he killed more than 300 fascists by himself during the defense of Stalingrad......

"Comrade Doctor, General Oshanina, of course, knows Vasily." When Bezikov heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt the doctor's words, and said impatiently: "Vasily is her subordinate, and the reason why she has eye problems has nothing to do with Vasily. Don't talk nonsense here, hurry up and find someone to arrange a bed. ”

These words of Bezkov made the doctor's smile freeze on his face. After a moment, he restrained the smile on his face, turned around and ordered the nurse: "Nurse, immediately go to the comrades in hospital logistics and ask them to arrange a bed for the general in the corridor."
