I had to go to the ceremony, so I got up early the next day, and after washing, I stayed in the house and waited for Bezikov to pick me up.

After waiting for an hour, a soldier sent by Bezikov appeared at the door, and he respectfully told me that the colonel and the car that picked me up were waiting downstairs, and asked me to go downstairs with him.

After the car I was in started up, Bezikov, who was sitting in the passenger seat in the front, turned his head and said to me with a smile: "Lida, the ceremony will take place in the Kremlin, and Comrade Molotov will award you the medal on behalf of the Supreme Commander himself." ”

Hear such a bombshell news that the award ceremony was held in the Kremlin and that Molotov was awarded the medal on behalf of Stalin. It should have made me excited, but at the moment I was worried. As soon as I got out of bed, I noticed that the eye disease in my left eye had worsened significantly. Yesterday it was a small black dot scurrying around with the movement of the eyeballs. Today, the small black dot has expanded tenfold, and wherever it moves, the thing in whatever position is completely blocked by the black shadow. This discovery frightened me, and I thought to myself, this can't be a precursor to insomnia, right?

Even though the situation seemed terrible, I kept it in my heart, neither Aksala, who came in the morning to bring me breakfast and clean my room, nor Bezikov, who took me to the Kremlin.

After Bezikov finished speaking, seeing that I didn't react at all, maybe thinking that I couldn't speak with excitement, in order to ease the atmosphere, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand to me and said in an envious tone: "Lida, congratulations, please accept my respect." ”

I reached out. Shook hands with him gently. Politely said, "Thank you." Thank you, Colonel Bezkov. ”

We rode along the Moscow River next to the famous St. Basil's Church and drove up the ramp to the entrance to the Kremlin. A second lieutenant on duty, with two guards, greeted him. They walked to the car, looked down into the car, and the second lieutenant saluted Bezkov and said politely: "Colonel Bezkov." Please show your ID. ”

I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard the second lieutenant address Bezikov, it was obvious that the second lieutenant was familiar with Bezikov, but he still had to check his documents, and the Kremlin's security measures were really strict enough. But Bezikov seemed to be accustomed to such a process, and he took his papers from his jacket pocket and handed them over without a word.

The second lieutenant took the document and returned it to Bezikov without looking at it casually, not only looking at it very carefully, but also deliberately comparing the photo on the document with that of Bezikov. Although there was not the slightest impatience on Bezikov's face. I even cooperated very well with the second lieutenant's inspection, but I was sitting in the back row, but I was nameless. I scolded myself in my heart: Judging from your name, maybe Bezikov is your top boss, is it necessary to go through such an uninteresting inspection process?

After the second lieutenant returned Bezikov's papers, he walked to my place, leaned down to look at me, and said politely: "Comrade General, please show your documents." ”

After listening to the second lieutenant's words, I spread my hands and said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Second Lieutenant, I don't have any documents now. During the long battle, I lost my military ID because of several dangers, so I could not provide you with documents to prove my identity. After I said this, I couldn't help but feel a little furious in my heart, and I was deeply afraid that this second lieutenant would stick to his principles and not let me in, and then I would be embarrassed and lose my hair.

My words surprised Bezikov as well, and he turned his head and said in surprise: "Lida, what are you talking about, you don't have any papers on you?" ”

"Yes, Comrade Colonel." Hearing Bezikov speak, I grabbed a life-saving straw and hurriedly explained to him: "You should know my situation very well, and I have been in a place for more than a year. ”

Before Bezikov could speak, the second lieutenant preemptively said: "I'm sorry, Comrade General. You don't have documents, and according to the rules, you can't enter the Kremlin. ”

"Ensign, don't you know who she is?" When Bezikov heard the second lieutenant say this, his face suddenly sank, and he said in a stern tone: "If you delay the right thing, can you afford to pay the responsibility?" ”

After hearing Bezikov's words, the second lieutenant hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Please wait a moment, I will ask my superiors for instructions." With that, he turned and ran towards the room where he was on duty, while the other two soldiers were still standing there, looking at me in the car with curious eyes.

After a while, the second lieutenant ran back, stood in front of my window, bent over and said with a smile on his face: "Comrade General, I have called, and it says that you can go in, please!" With that, he straightened up and made a gesture of please.

After entering the Kremlin, Bezikov became my guide. We passed past the King of Guns and the King of Bells, and passed through the small uneven square, to a building shrouded in camouflage nets.

After going through a rigorous check, and handing over the weapons that I was carrying, Bezikov led me into the building and down the corridor to a spacious hall. On the north side of the hall is a long table, behind which are three well-made chairs, which must be the positions of the hosts. In front of the long table, there are more than a dozen rows of hundreds of chairs, which should be the positions of the people who will participate in the ceremony later.

Bezkov guided me to the place where the chair was set and said to me: "Lida, the ceremony will not start until a while, you can sit here and wait for a while!" ”

I looked left and right, and saw that there were only the two of us in the whole hall, and listening to the tone of his voice, he seemed to be leaving, and couldn't help but ask nervously, "Colonel, where are you going?" ”

Bezzikov grinned and replied, "Lida, my task is to bring you here, and to send you back to the hotel after the ceremony." As for the intervening period," he said, shrugging his shoulders and feeling a little helpless, "there are still many things to be done in the Guard Regiment waiting for me, so I can only say goodbye to you for the time being." ”

Although I am a little weak to sit alone in this hall, I must not forcibly leave Bezikov behind for this reason. Let him stay with me until anyone else arrives. So I can only put on a non-caring appearance. Pretending to be dashing, he said to him: "Alright, Comrade Colonel, you go about your business, and I will stay here alone and wait for the ceremony to begin." ”

Bezkov nodded, turned and strode out of the hall.

After Bezakov left, I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes to recuperate, first, I chatted with Aksala late last night, and I wanted to take the opportunity to make up for my sleepiness; The second is to be afraid of opening your eyes. Seeing the dark shadow in front of me getting bigger and bigger will make me upset, and I will simply be out of sight and out of mind.

I don't know how long it took for me to hear heavy footsteps in the hall slowly walking towards me. Thinking that in the Kremlin, I had no other acquaintances except for Bezikov, and the people who were walking by must not know each other, so I did not open my eyes, but continued to close my eyes and recuperate.

"Comrade General." As the footsteps stopped beside me, an old, familiar voice rang in my ears: "May I sit here?" ”

I sat in the outermost chair. Hearing the old man ask this, I thought he wanted to sit inside, so I quickly opened my eyes, stood up and replied politely: "Of course, of course, you can come in!" ”

The old man thanked me, walked past me, sat down in the chair next to me on my right hand, and then stretched out his left hand and patted the chair, and greeted me warmly: "Hey, General Leda, don't stand, please sit down." ”

I smiled and sat back in my seat. I turned my head to look at the old man, wanting to have a casual chat with him, but I didn't expect my heart to beat faster when I saw the true face of the old man sitting next to me. It took me a long time before I pointed my finger at him and said in surprise, "You...... You are the ...... Senior Engineer Floning? ”

The old man's face showed a look of helplessness, he shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "Isn't it me, Comrade General." I thought you had a high rank, so you didn't know me as an old man. ”

"Hello, Comrade Engineer!" Seeing this old man from 1975, I was very emotional, although he was not from the same era as me, but after all, they were both time-travelers. I hurriedly stood up again, stretched out my hand to clasp him tightly, and said excitedly, "It's a pleasure to see you again!" ”

After sitting down again, I looked left and right and saw that there were only two of us in the hall, but for the sake of stability, I lowered my voice and asked, "Comrade Engineer, how are you doing?" ”

"Very good, Leda, I'm fine, thank you for your concern." After saying this, he suddenly said with a gloomy expression: "And the group of skilled workers who came with me were taken away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few months ago, and then I never heard from them again, and I don't know if they are still alive now. ”

Although I thought in my heart that this group of workers might be completely wiped out because of the need for secrecy, I still comforted Fronin against my will and said: "Engineer, don't worry, maybe someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will take them to another city to develop some new weapons." ”

Floning listened to me and muttered quietly, "I hope so." ”

"By the way, Comrade Engineer, I have a question for you." It was really puzzling to me that the skilled workers who crossed the country were missing en masse, and that Floning, an engineer, was able to enter a place like the Kremlin at will, so I wanted to figure out what was going on: "Why can you now walk around at will without anyone watching?" ”

Hearing my question, Florene smiled and said, "I can have the current treatment, I still have to thank you!" ”

"Thank me?!" Floning's words confused me, and I asked rhetorically, "Does this have anything to do with me?" ”

"Yes, of course it does." Fronin said confidently: "If I had come into this world without following your advice and deliberately pretending to have amnesia, perhaps I would have disappeared with those skilled workers by now." ”

After listening to Floning's words, I just nodded, and then changed the subject: "By the way, Comrade Engineer, have you recently launched any new weapons?" In order not to misunderstand what I meant, I deliberately made it clear, "I'm talking about the weapons and equipment of the troops of your time. ”

"Yes," Fronin said this, also looked left and right, and when he saw that there were no outsiders in the hall, he said mysteriously: "The RPG-7 anti-tank rocket launcher has just been introduced." ”

For me, who is militarily blind, my understanding of bazooka is limited to the fact that this is a bazooka produced in the Soviet Union and a bazooka produced in the United States. Now that there is an expert in front of me, I naturally will not let go of this opportunity to humbly ask him for advice: "Uncle Floning, can you tell me more about it." ”

Floning has always been grateful to me as a life-saver, and when he heard that I asked him for advice, he did not hide his secrets, so he introduced me in detail: "The shape of the RPG-7 is similar to that of the American Bazooka, but in order to make it easier for infantry to carry, we have redesigned the structure of the launch barrel, made of alloy steel, the total weight of the rocket launcher is lighter, the range of the ranging optical sight target distance and the rocket range extender engine have been increased, and the single warhead has been improved. At the same time, low-light sights and infrared night vision sights can also be used for use in starlight or other low-light conditions, enhancing its night combat capabilities.

RPG-7 ammunition is mainly ordinary armor-piercing shells, tandem warhead armor-piercing shells and anti-personnel grenades. The fuse of RPG-7 rockets is generally a trigger fuse, but most of them are equipped with a timing device. The rocket detonates after detaching from the target, which is controlled to 4.5 seconds, and the maximum flight distance of the RPG-7 rocket is limited to 1,000 meters to prevent accidental damage. The armor-piercing ability of the RPG-7 armor-piercing projectile is very good, it penetrates rolled homogeneous armor with a thickness of 350 mm to 400 mm, and a direct fire distance of more than 400 meters. At the same time, anti-personnel grenades (with a radius of 15 meters, which can effectively kill enemy soldiers) have been added, which can attack living targets such as infantry. ……”

Listening to the barrage of terms that came out of Floning's mouth, I didn't seem to understand it, but I just kept nodding my head in agreement. But the mention of a direct firing distance of 400 meters and the ability to penetrate 350 mm to 400 mm armor made me feel impressed, and I thought that as long as the troops were equipped with such weapons, even if we encountered the German panzer divisions, we would not be at a disadvantage.

As soon as his words came to an end, I immediately asked impatiently: "Engineer, I wonder when such an anti-tank weapon will be installed in the army?" ”

"Samples were produced shortly after the New Year," said Floning, smiling: "I just passed the performance tests, and I estimate that in May we will be able to deploy troops on a large scale." (To be continued......)
