Red Moscow

Early the next morning, Sokov, who always slept until he woke up naturally, got up early, chatted with Asiya in the ward, and waited for Lunev to send someone to pick him up.

At 7:20, a lieutenant officer wearing a blue hat appeared at the door of the ward. He tapped on the door twice with his hand and asked politely, "Excuse me, is this from General Sokov?" Ward?"

"Yes, I'm Sokov." Sokov looked at the lieutenant and asked, "Did Lunev send you here?"

The officer walked into the ward, walked quickly to Sokov, raised his hand and saluted, and said: "Hello, Comrade General, my name is Koshkin, and I am sent by General Lunev to take you to the Frunze Military Academy." Yes." After speaking, he handed the small box in his left hand to Sokov.

Sokov took the box, opened it on his lap, and found a set of captain's military uniform inside. He will wear this suit to class in the next month. He turned to Assia and said, "Assia, help me get dressed."

Koshkin waited for Sokov to get dressed, and said politely: "Comrade General..."

"Wait a minute, Lieutenant Koshkin." Sokov interrupted Koshkin and said to him: "From now on, I'm just a captain, Captain Sokov, remember?"

"Understood, Comrade General." Koshkin replied casually, but he soon realized that he had made a mistake, and quickly corrected him: "Understood, Comrade Captain. From now on, I will call you Captain Sokov .”

"It's getting late, let's go."

Koshkin nodded, came to the back of Sokov's wheelchair, and politely said to Asiya who was about to push the wheelchair: "Comrade female military doctor, let me do it."

Seeing that Koshkin took the initiative to push his wheelchair, Sokov didn't seem to intend to let Asya go to the Frunze Military Academy with him, so he asked tentatively: "Lieutenant Koshkin, my wife can't go with me. Academy?"

"I'm sorry, Comrade Captain." Koshkin said apologetically: "The Frunze Military Academy is a very special place, not everyone is qualified to enter." Maybe he was worried that Sokov would be unhappy, so he added on purpose Said, "If I hadn't been ordered to send you to report, I wouldn't even be eligible to enter the academy."

Originally, Sokov was still very dissatisfied because Assia could not accompany him to the academy, but after listening to Koshkin's explanation, he was immediately relieved. In any case, Frunze Military Academy is the highest military academy, and strict management is absolutely necessary.

He turned his head and said to Assia who looked disappointed behind him, "Assia, I'm sorry, the college's management is strict, and you can't let me send me to report."

"It's okay, Misha." Assia said reasonably, "When you come back from school, remember to tell me the interesting things in the academy."

Sokov arrived at the Frunze Military Academy in a car driven by Koshkin.

The sentry at the gate, although they saw the special pass posted on the windshield, stopped the vehicle and wanted to check the documents of Koshkin and Sokov.

While Koshkin handed his ID to the sentinel, Sokov also prepared his military ID and admission letter.

The sentry looked at Koshkin's certificate, handed it back to him, looked at Sokov and asked, "Comrade Captain, where is your certificate?"

Sokov hurriedly handed over the documents he had prepared.

The sentry opened Sokov's military ID card, and after seeing the contents clearly, his pupils shrank violently. He didn't expect the captain sitting in the car to be a general on the military ID card.

"Comrade Captain." The sentinel hesitated for a moment, then asked blankly, "Are you sure this is your ID?"

"Of course." Sokov replied in an affirmative tone: "If you don't believe me, you can compare the photos inside to see if this is my military ID."

"That's right, the photo is indeed yours." The sentinel said with some hesitation, "But your identity on the military ID card is a lieutenant general, but you are wearing a captain's uniform."

"Comrade Sentinel," Koshkin said before Sokov could speak, "Don't you know something you shouldn't ask, so you can't ask?"

If someone else said this, the sentinel might have to refute it, but when he checked Koshkin's documents just now, he learned that the other party was from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Since he said it was confidential, he certainly couldn't inquire about it casually. He handed Sokov's ID back into the car, took a step back and raised his hand to salute, then extended his hand to signal his release.

After the vehicle drove into the campus, Sokov asked Koshkin curiously: "Lieutenant Koshkin, where are we going next? Are we going to report first and then go to the opening ceremony?"

"Comrade Captain, if it is another commander, you really have to follow these two steps." Koshkin politely explained to Sokov: "First, your status is special, and the rank of the chief is the same; I have an injury in my leg and I have limited mobility, so I don’t have to report and attend the opening ceremony.”

"Then where am I going?"

"I will send you directly into the classroom." Koshkin replied: "Then I will take your admission letter and go to the dean's office to find Dean Velyovkin Lakhalsky and ask him to personally attend for you. Go through the admission process."

Sokov was worried that he would be in a wheelchair and Koshkin would push him around, which would cause a lot of inconvenience. Hearing what Koshkin said now, he felt more at ease: "Okay, Lieutenant Koshkin, the troublesome You take me to the classroom first."

Koshkin parked the car next to the teaching building, first took out the wheelchair from the trunk and placed it beside the car, then opened the door and helped Sokov out of the car, and helped him sit in the wheelchair.

Koshkin had obviously come here to survey the terrain a long time ago. After Sokov sat down, he pushed the wheelchair to the door of a classroom on the first floor with ease.

The door of the classroom was open, and there was no one in it. Koshkin pushed Sokov into the classroom and asked respectfully, "Comrade Captain, do you want to sit in the front row or in the back?"

"I think it's better to sit in the front." Sokov felt that it was better to be closer to the podium if he wanted to listen to the class, so as to better listen to the teacher's teaching: "Sit in the front and hear more clearly."

Koshkin nodded, went to remove a chair from a seat in the front row, and then pushed Sokov's wheelchair over. After finishing all this, he respectfully said to Sokov: "Comrade Captain, please wait here for a moment, I will report for you right away."

"Thank you, Lieutenant Koshkin." Sokov nodded at the other party and said with a smile: "Thank you for everything you have done for me."

"You are very polite, Comrade Captain." Koshkin said with a smile on his face: "It is my job to serve you. As long as you are satisfied with my work, I will be satisfied."
