Red Moscow

In the evening, after dinner, Sokov said to Anna: "Anna, I want to go out for a while, you just stay at home and watch the show."

Anna is currently following the third season of the new TV series "Dude". Today is the finale, and she is eager to know what the final ending will be. Therefore, she naturally would not object when Sokov asked him to stay at home to watch the show, but she still said: "You should come back as soon as possible and we will watch the finale together."

"Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible." Sokov held her head in his hands, kissed her on the forehead, then turned and left the house.

When they arrived at Victoria's house, the other party was already a little impatient: "Misha, why did you just come? My great-grandmother has urged me several times."

"I'm sorry, Officer Victoria." Sokov said apologetically: "It's a little late for dinner today, but I rushed over as soon as I finished eating."

"Come in quickly." After Victoria let Sokov into the room, she added: "In the future, when there are no outsiders, you can call me Vika."

Sokov knew that Victoria was his real name and Vika was his nickname. Only close friends would use nicknames for each other. He nodded quickly and agreed: "Okay, from now on when there are no outsiders, I will call you Vika."

Leda was not in the living room, but lying on the bed in the bedroom. Victoria explained to Sokov: "My great-grandmother said that she was feeling a little unwell today, so I asked her to lie on the bed. I set up a chair next to the bed. You can sit next to her and chat with her."

Sokov didn't care where he sat as long as he could chat with Lida.

When Sokov walked into the bedroom alone, Lida, who was originally lying down, struggled to sit up. Sokov quickly stepped forward to support her: "Lida, if your health is not good, don't sit up. Just lie down."

After Lida lay down, Sokov sat on the chair next to the bed, lowered his head and asked: "Lida, do you still remember what happened before and after you were discharged from the army?"

"Remember, of course I remember." Lida said slowly in an old voice: "To me, these things are just like what happened yesterday. How can I not remember them?"

"Although we have never met each other since I was injured." Sokov asked cautiously: "But you must have heard about me, right?"

Hearing Sokov's question, Lida was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "That's right, although we never met again, I still often ask others for news about you. I still know a little bit.”

Sokov nodded slightly, and in order to find out whether Lida really remembered what happened at that time, he decided to test her first: "Do you still remember what Marshal Zhukov was doing at that time?"

"Marshal Zhukov was entrusted with important responsibilities at the March meeting." Lida said: "As a result, in June, he was relieved of most of his posts and was assigned to the Odessa Military District as commander. position."

Sokov knew this history. Seeing that Lida was right, he continued to ask: "I was seriously injured in March 1946. When did I recover? After I was discharged from the hospital, did you know where I went?"

"Well, according to what I know, you were seriously injured in Vienna. After two or three months of treatment, you finally recovered and were discharged from the hospital." Lida said: "After you were discharged from the hospital, your superiors sent you to the Odessa Military Region as a Deputy Commander of the Military Region.”

"No way." Sokov remembered that in the relevant information, it was said that Lu Jin served as the deputy commander of the military region, so he asked cautiously: "The deputy commander of the Odessa military region, isn't he Lieutenant General Lu Jin? When did he become deputy commander of the military region?" Become me?"

"Misha," a slight smile appeared on Lida's face: "There is not only one deputy commander of the military region. You are the first deputy commander of the Odessa military region. Although Lieutenant General Lu Jin is also the deputy commander, But his position is lower than yours."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Sokov began to mutter in his heart. If he really wants to return to the past era in a month or two, then the information he should pay attention to should be mainly in the Odessa area. , after all, he will serve as deputy commander there for a period of time.

"After Marshal Zhukov was demoted, a major purge was carried out in the army. Those who were considered to be members of Marshal Zhukov's faction were forced to retire." Lida sighed and said, "It was in this environment that I left the army. ”

Sokov was very surprised when he heard what Lida said. He thought that Lida was discharged because of the general disarmament, but he did not expect that she would be implicated when he was cleaning up Marshal Zhukov's faction. If he really becomes the commander of the 4th Guards Army, he may be sent to other places or even forced to retire because he bears the mark of the Zhukov faction.

Seeing Sokov's silence, Lida continued: "After I retired from the army, I adopted the four children we rescued in Stalingrad into the orphanage and wanted to raise them."

Sokov found it strange that even though Lida retired, she was assigned by her superiors to serve as section chief in the Industrial Bureau. With her income, she could fully support four children. How could it be possible that only Anton would grow up alone? ?

Hearing Sokov's question, Lida suddenly wiped away tears: "Misha, you may not know that the continuous drought in 1946 caused a large-scale reduction in grain production in grain-producing areas, thus affecting the grain supply. There was a serious shortage. Although I was the section chief, it was still very difficult to feed five mouths with my food quota. Three of the children died of malnutrition one after another during the four months of the famine.”

Sokov knew about the Great Famine in 1946, but he always believed that people who died due to the famine were basically concentrated in Ukraine, but he did not expect that people also died of starvation here in Moscow. Thinking of the children he had saved who did not die in the war years, but died of malnutrition due to food shortages in the peace years. He sighed and said, "It's such a pity. I didn't expect that they could leave Stalingrad alive, but they didn't live to see the day when they could start a family."

"Misha, there is something I am very curious about. Can you give me an answer?"

"What happened?"

"I remember that I had read many books written by you." Lida said with doubts on her face: "But when I read those books again later, I found that the author had become someone else. Can you tell me, how is this happening? What's going on?"

Sokov has been pursuing answers to what Lida wants to know. The books he wrote were published one after another at that time. Unexpectedly, after returning to modern times, I unexpectedly found that the author's name on the books signed with my name became the real author again.

"Assault rifles, anti-tank rocket launchers, and new rockets." Sokov reminded Lida, "Do you remember these weapons? Who invented them?"

Lida was silent for a long time, and then said: "Misha, I have seen all three weapons you mentioned and even used them on the battlefield. But when the war ended, these weapons suddenly disappeared without a trace. When I asked people about this, they even told me that they never had these three weapons.”

After hearing this, Sokov couldn't help but gasped: "No way, there have never been these three weapons."

"Yes, Misha, it's true." Lida said slowly: "The assault rifle was developed by weapons expert Kalashnikov. Although the shape and structure of the gun are exactly the same as the weapons you made, That assault rifle is named after Kalashnikov, called AK47.”

Sokov smiled bitterly, thinking that the correction function of history is really powerful. I had just returned to modern times in 1946, and the assault rifles, anti-tank rocket launchers, and new rockets that had been installed in the troops suddenly disappeared without a trace. Unexpectedly, the most common assault rifles equipped by the company's troops were later all AK47s designed by Kalashnikov.

"Lida, you confused me when you said that." Sokov said with some laughter and tears: "As soon as I was injured, the weapons that were originally in the army disappeared without a trace. It’s just incredible.”

"Yes, this is also a question that has always puzzled me." Lida continued: "I later mentioned this matter to many old friends, but they all said in unison that there is indeed no such weapon as I mentioned, and even you This person doesn’t exist.”

The muscles on Sokov's face twitched twice, and he said with an embarrassed expression: "Yes, this matter is quite strange. I checked the historical data and found that there is indeed no such person as me. Many of the achievements I have made have also become someone else’s.”

"Misha, when I was still able to walk a few years ago, I went to the War Memorial in Victory Square and saw a photo inside." Lida looked at Sokov and asked, "Guess what I saw in the photo?" What?"

"There are four people in the photo." Sokov recalled what was recorded in Liuba's father's diary and said without thinking: "Marshal Zhukov, Marshal Rokossovsky, Marshal Konev and me. And mine On the shoulder straps is the rank of general."

Lida's eyes widened in surprise. After Sokov finished speaking, she asked hesitantly: "Misha, have you seen this photo?"

"No, I have never seen it." Sokov denied simply: "I also heard what others said. He even said that after seeing this photo, he went to the staff and said that there were too many people on the photo. I met an inexplicable person, but when the staff followed him back to the photo, they found that there were only three people in the photo, and I had disappeared without a trace. "

"This is the same situation I encountered at the time." Lida said: "I know that you were promoted to general at the end of the war. At that time, I saw you in the photo with the rank of general, so I went to the staff to find out what happened. When was the photo taken? Unexpectedly, when the staff came over, the situation you mentioned happened. The four people in the photo turned into three people, and you suddenly disappeared from the photo. "

The two chatted for a while. Sokov suddenly found that Lida was lying on the bed without making any sound. He was startled at that time. He quickly reached out to check her breathing and found that she was still breathing normally, maybe because she was too tired. , has fallen asleep.

Sokov tucked Lida into the bed and walked out of the room quietly.

Victoria, who was sitting in the living room reading a book, saw Sokov coming out and quickly stood up: "Is my great-grandmother asleep?"

"Yes, she is asleep." Sokov came to Victoria and said politely: "Since she is asleep, I will go back."

"Wait a minute, Misha." Unexpectedly, Victoria stopped him: "I have something to tell you."

Sokof stopped and asked curiously, "What's going on?"

"We arrested five people today and brought them back to the police station." Victoria explained to Sokof, "After interrogation, these people confessed that someone ordered them to go to your place to cause trouble. Even if they are arrested, others will go to your place to cause trouble tomorrow. Can you tell me who you have offended and why others are targeting you like this?"

Since it was Victoria who asked, Sokof told her the whole story in detail.

After listening to this, Victoria showed an expression of disbelief on her face: "No way, just because you don't want to send someone to the airport, so many things have happened?"

"Yes, it was originally a small matter, but someone insisted on making a fuss, and it turned out to be what it is now."

"If they continue to send people to make trouble, what are you going to do?" Victoria may be worried that Sokov is too dependent on her, and she also emphasized: "I can help you once or twice, but I can't help you indefinitely. You still need to find a way to solve this matter yourself."

In fact, Sokov has been thinking about this problem today. If he is just passively defending, he may be able to withstand the harassment of the other party once or twice, but if it happens too many times, I am afraid that the security guards on the street will also feel annoyed, and in the end they will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then he will be crying without tears.

Since passive defense is not advisable, Sokov plans to take the initiative in his own hands, so he leans close to Victoria's ear and says: "Vika, I have an idea, do you think it will work..." Then he tells Victoria about his plan in detail.

After hearing this, Victoria's eyes widened in surprise, and then she gave Sokov a thumbs up and said repeatedly: "Misha, you are really great. You can come up with such a good idea. Okay, we will act according to the plan tomorrow and we must deal with these guys properly."

After saying goodbye to Victoria, Sokov went upstairs to his home.

Who knew that as soon as he opened the door, he saw Anna sitting on the sofa, wiping her tears constantly. He hurriedly walked up and asked with concern: "Anna, what's wrong, why are you crying?"

"Dead, dead." Anna cried and said: "Igor and Vika are both dead. They were shot to death by Katya."

"Ah, Katya shot Igor and Vika to death?" In the play "The Dandy Boy", Igor is the male protagonist, the female protagonist is Vika, who is also Igor's immediate superior, and Katya is Igor's lover. Since the second season, most of the plots revolve around the emotional entanglement of the three. How come at the end of the third season, Katya suddenly shot and killed both of them? Sokov felt that he couldn't understand the screenwriter's imagination.

"Katya went crazy, picked up the gun on the ground and shot Igor. Vika rushed forward to help Igor block the bullet, but the bullet pierced Vika and hit Igor. Both of them fell in a pool of blood, still holding hands before closing their eyes."
