Red Moscow

The PKM light machine gun is considered one of the best general-purpose machine guns in the world. It is a general-purpose machine gun that fires 7.62×54 mm R flange bullets. It was designed by the famous weapons designer Mikhail Kalashnikov. In 1969, it was born based on the improvement of his PK machine gun. It has the characteristics of simple structure, reliability and durability, high shooting accuracy and powerful firepower. It is widely used in the armies and armed organizations of the Soviet Union and its allies. It has also been imitated or introduced by many countries. It is still in service in Russia and many countries. .

The PKM light machine gun is suitable for a variety of combat environments, including jungles, mountains, cities and other complex terrains. Its theoretical rate of fire is 650 rounds per minute, its combat rate of fire is more than 250 rounds per minute, and its effective range is 1,000 meters. In various tactical contexts such as offense, defense, and encounters, it can provide continuous and suppressive fire support and enhance the firepower advantage of the infantry squad.

China carried out imitation work on the Type 1 general-purpose machine gun, and in just four years, the imitation was officially designated as the Type 80 general-purpose machine gun.

Sokov spent nearly an hour drawing a sketch of the PKM light machine gun on paper. Looking at the drawings he had drawn, he thought that the detailed three-dimensional view of the parts should wait until he returned to Moscow. After all, there was no way to draw them without the drawing tools at his disposal. Also, if he easily took out the detailed drawings, I am afraid that Ustinov would feel that developing weapons is an easy task, and he might be assigned more design tasks in the future.

Furthermore, the amount of information received today was too large, and he needed to digest it well. Marshal Chernyakhovsky had a plane crash, and General Patton died of his injuries. Zhukov planned to send the fake president's stand-in back to Moscow, and he would be responsible for the escort mission. With so many things, it is obviously impossible to say that they have no impact on my emotions.

Sokov put the drawings away, then lay on the bed with his eyes closed, and soon fell asleep without realizing it.

Just as he was sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He thought it was a waiter, so he got up, slowly put on his boots, walked to the door and opened the door.

Unexpectedly, when I opened the door, what I saw was not a waiter, but Agelina, whom I had not seen for a long time.

Seeing Sokov frozen in place, Agelina waved her hand in front of his eyes: "Misha, what's wrong with you? Are you surprised to see me?"

Sokov was of course surprised, because when he spoke to Zhukov not long ago, he once mentioned that he hoped to see Agelina again, but was rejected by the other party. But just a few hours later, Agelina stood in front of him alive, how could he not be surprised.

He opened his arms and hugged Agelina, and asked in surprise: "Why are you back?"

"What, you don't welcome me?" Agelina looked up at Sokov and said in a teasing tone: "Then I'm leaving?"

Sokov was reluctant to leave Agelina, so he immediately hugged her and retreated into the room, closing the door with his heel.

…

An hour later, Sokov curiously asked Agelina: "Agelina, why are you back?"

Agelina turned her face sideways and asked, "What, don't you want me to come back?"

"No." Sokov shook his head and said: "Since you left, I have been looking forward to your return. When Marshal Zhukov called today, I asked him if he could let you come back to me. live."

"What did Comrade Marshal say?"

Sokov hesitated for a moment and did not tell Zhukov's original words. Instead, he made up a reason: "He said that the translation team you are in has been very busy recently and often has to work overtime. If you are asked to go back to the hotel, It takes a lot of time to go back and forth on the road every day.”

Agelina believed what Sokov said. She nodded and said, "Yes, we have been responsible for translating a lot of materials recently. Sometimes we don't even have time to sleep. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been gone for such a long time." "

"Then how did you come back today?" Sokov wondered if Agelina came back tonight because she knew that she was about to return to Moscow, so he asked with a guilty conscience: "Have you finished all the work at hand?"

"The translation team is an organization with so much work. How can we possibly finish it all?" Agelina shook her head and said, "It was our deputy team leader, a young lesbian, who saw me working for one consecutive day. After many weeks, I was worried that I would be exhausted, so I came back tonight to take a rest. I thought I hadn’t seen you for a long time, so I rushed back to the hotel.”

After Agelina finished speaking, she stood up and said to Sokov: "I'm going to take a shower first, and I'll talk about anything later."

Watching Agelina enter the bathroom, Sokov began to wonder, should he tell her that he was going back to Moscow? If you don't say anything, just leave Berlin, even if you call her immediately after returning to Moscow to explain, I'm afraid she will be emotional.

Not long after, Agelina came out in a bathrobe. She came to sit next to Sokov and asked directly: "Misha, are you leaving Berlin?"

Sokov was shocked, and then denied it: "Who did you listen to? Who said I was leaving Berlin?"

Agelina stared at Sokov and said: "Don't hide it from me. You must know that I have been engaged in latent missions in different countries and places. I must know many things and I am very familiar with them. If I guessed correctly, Marshal Zhukov must have told you not to tell me, lest the news leak out. "

Although Agelina had already said this, Sokov still did not admit it. The corners of his mouth twitched twice and he tried to change the topic: "How does it feel to be in the translation team? How is the relationship with colleagues?" How's it going?"

"It's not difficult to translate those documents. The problem is that there are too many, and the superiors are urging me so urgently that it often makes me dizzy." Agelina said: "As for the relationship between colleagues, it is very average. Except for the four or five colleagues who work in the same office as me, I don’t know the rest of them at all, because they work too much every day and there is no chance to visit each other.”

Agelina's words reminded Sokov of some large companies in later generations. Due to the large number of employees, they were divided into different work areas. In addition, the work was so busy that there was no time to visit, so that some people worked in the same company for more than ten years. They don't know each other.

Agelina glanced at the manuscript on the table and asked curiously: "Misha, have you finished your book?"

"No." Sokov shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it will take a few more months to finish."

"After writing this book, will you write other books?"

"Not for the time being." Sokov said: "I wrote two books in a row, and I will definitely take a break for a year or two before writing again."

"Well, that's good." Agelina said reasonably: "It's not too late to wait for inspiration before writing a new book. Don't force yourself too much."

Sokov nodded and continued to ask: "Did you encounter anything interesting in the translation team?"

Hearing Sokov's question, Agelina was silent for a long time, and finally said: "There is a beautiful woman in the translation team, and her status is quite special."

"Oh, your identity is special?" Sokov suddenly became interested: "What kind of special method?"

Adelina leaned close to Sokov's ear and whispered: "It is said that she has an unusual relationship with Marshal Zhukov."

"Do you have an unusual relationship with Marshal Zhukov?" Sokov asked confusedly: "What relationship?"

"Misha, why are you so stupid? Of course it's the relationship between you and me." Adelina poked Sokov's forehead with her finger and continued: "To be precise, she is Marshal Zhukov's My wife went to many battlefields with the marshal during the war.”

This piece of gossip made Sokov's eyes widen in surprise: "Is this true?" he asked with a hint of luck, "Adelina, are you sure the person related to her is Marshal Zhukov? Instead of Marshal Rokossovsky?"

Sokov said this because Rokossovsky was well-known for such things, and even Stalin knew about it. Therefore, when Agelina talked about this, his first thought was that the other party had made a mistake. The person who had a close relationship with this woman should be Rokossovsky instead of Zhukov.

But Agelina shook her head and said in a firm tone: "Yes, she is Marshal Zhukov's wartime wife. After the war, Marshal Zhukov's wife and children returned to Moscow, and she felt it was inconvenient for her to stay there. , just in time for the Marshal to come to Berlin, she followed him. "

Although the fire of gossip is burning in Sokov's heart, considering that this is Marshal Zhukov's secret, it may not be a good thing if he knows too much. He sat up, looked at Agelina and asked, "Are there any other interesting things?"

"I heard something, it should be very credible."

"What's the matter, tell me!"

"Do you know about the Victory Day Parade?"

"Of course I know." Sokov nodded and said: "On June 24, 1945, in order to celebrate the defeat of the German invaders, a grand military parade was held in Red Square. Marshal Zhukov served as the leader of the parade, and Rokossovs Marshal Ji served as the commander of the parade. There were 12 infantry formations participating in the review, including 10 formations composed of representatives of all active front armies participating in the war, and each formation of the Navy and the People's Commissariat of Defense composed of 1,000 formations. Many of the best fighters, including Heroes of the Soviet Union and other medals of honor recipients, were led by commanders of various fronts and armies.”

"I remember you were in Moscow at the time. Why didn't you participate in this military parade?"

"Weren't we preparing to fight against the Kwantung Army in the Far East? For reasons of confidentiality, after returning to Moscow, Yasha and I were placed in a sanatorium in the suburbs." Sokov explained: "It wasn't until shortly before the start of the battle that , Yasha and I left the sanatorium and went to work in the Far East. "

Agelina nodded after hearing this, and continued: "After the military parade, Comrade Stalin convened more than two hundred senior generals to hold a celebration banquet in the Kremlin. During the process, a certain bald marshal spoke to his subordinates , made some inappropriate remarks, saying that due to the decision-making errors of superiors, 4 million people in our army were annihilated or captured by the German army in 1941, and these words happened to be heard by Stalin and Beria who were standing not far away. "

If someone made inappropriate remarks and was only heard by Stalin, Stalin might get sulky and forget about it. But if Beria also heard it, he would definitely keep it in mind and use it as a weapon to attack the marshal at the right time.

Sokov's brain began to spin rapidly, recalling which of the marshals he knew were bald. Soon, he thought of Konev and Timoshenko, and asked Adelina tentatively: "Marshal Konev or Marshal Timoshenko."

Unexpectedly, Agelina shook her head and said: "No, he is a marshal of another special force."

Although Agelina did not say a specific name, Sokov immediately guessed who the person who said the wrong thing was, the bald Armored Marshal Rybalko.

Seeing Sokov's silence, Agelina continued: "After the banquet, there was another photo session with Comrade Stalin. Only the marshal and some generals or admirals can enjoy this honor. There are about 40 people in total. "Multiple people."

"Did something happen during the photo taking?" Sokov asked nervously.

"When all the generals stood in their positions, Comrade Stalin appeared. He smiled and walked to the position left for him in the middle." Agelina said: "When he just stood in his position, then The marshal spoke again: 'Comrade Stalin, you spoke so well of the Russian people in your toast. How can you, a Georgian, know them so well?'

After hearing this, Stalin's expression suddenly changed. He said with a straight face: 'I am not a Georgian, I am a Russian, I just have Georgian blood. ’ After saying that, he left the photo queue, walked a few steps forward, turned to face the generals, glanced at everyone, and then turned and left the photo scene.

Seeing Stalin about to leave, Zhukov quickly walked out of the queue and shouted from behind: 'Comrade Stalin! ’

Stalin stopped and turned to look at Zhukov. Zhukov quickly made a gesture of invitation toward the vacant position, gesturing for Comrade Stalin to come over and take pictures. "

When Sokov heard this, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and he asked nervously: "Did Comrade Stalin go back to take pictures with the generals?"

Agelina shook her head again and said: "No, Comrade Stalin did not go back to take pictures. Instead, he said to Zhukov: 'You should take the pictures, and I will not participate. This is the honor you deserve.' , and left without looking back.”

"Agelina, is this true?" Sokov asked in an uncertain tone.

"Of course it's true." Agelina nodded and said: "Misha, you should know that I am from an intelligence background. It is not difficult for me to find out whether this matter is true or false. More importantly, I personally saw the photo taken by the generals in the Kremlin. There was no Comrade Stalin in the front row, including Zhukov, Rokossovsky, and Konev. Ten marshals and the rest of the generals stood behind them."

"You didn't tell anyone about this, did you?" Sokov asked with a worried look on his face.

"No." Agelina shook her head and said, "I didn't tell anyone except you."
