Red Moscow

After the awards and promotions were over, Artemyev looked around and said, "Except for Kochetov and Misha, the rest of the comrades should go out."

After everyone left the office, Artemyev closed the door himself, walked up to Lin Hua who looked puzzled, looked at him and asked, "Misha, according to the report I got, after the German army appeared in Hope An hour or two before the town of Mki, you told Comrade Kochetov, a member of the town Soviet, that a small enemy force was about to launch a sneak attack here, and requested that the militia be sent to strengthen the defense of the north of the town. Is that true? ?”

Lin Hua instinctively turned his head and glanced at Kochetov next to him, and saw that the other party nodded slightly to him, indicating that he had reported this matter to the garrison commander himself. Lin Hua withdrew his gaze, nodded at Artemyev, and replied in a positive tone: "Yes, Comrade General, this is indeed the case."

"Since there is such a thing," Artemyev continued to ask: "Comrade Sokov, can you tell me how you knew the enemy would attack? It was the German commander who told you personally, and you still have a prophet skill?"

Hearing that Artemyev didn't call him by his nickname affectionately, but directly called him by his surname, Lin Hua realized the seriousness of the problem. If he couldn't give a satisfactory answer to the other party, maybe he would take the next step. Time to report to the Ministry of the Interior prison.

Lin Hua secretly rejoiced that after the battle, he had already figured out what to say to his superiors. Otherwise, facing General Artemyev's questioning, he really didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't say that he came from time travel, so he would definitely be regarded as a crazy person by the other party, and he would either be put in prison or put in a mental hospital.

"Comrade General," Lin Hua said with a serious face, "what happened today was purely a coincidence. The German army got lost more than ten kilometers away from the town. A forest watcher found out. The forest watcher took a shortcut and rushed to the town to report the news, just in time to meet me. Based on the report of the forest watcher, I judged that the destination of the German army must be in the town of Khimki, so I told the people Comrade members report."

After hearing Lin Hua's explanation, Artemyev asked calmly, "Where is the forest watcher now?"

Lin Hua shook his head, pretending to be helpless and said, "I'm sorry, Comrade General. As soon as I heard the news, I left the people watching Lin and went straight to report to Comrade Comrade Town People's Committee. When I got from the police station When I came out and went to see Lin Ren again, I found that he had disappeared."

"So, the reason why you know that the Germans will attack Khimki is based on the information provided by the forest watcher." Artemyev, walking back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, stopped. He looked at Lin Hua and asked, "Comrade Corporal, am I right?"

"Totally correct, Comrade General." Lin Hua replied hastily.

Artemyev nodded with a smile, patted Lin Hua's shoulder twice, and said approvingly: "You are doing well, Misha, you are doing well. But it is possible, you still have to find that A forest watcher, if he hadn't tipped off, maybe the Germans would have taken Khimki."

Immediately afterwards, he walked up to Kochetov, looked at his old friend, shook his head, and said, "Comrade Kochetov, you almost caused a catastrophe because you didn't believe Comrade Misha's report. I hope you can learn from this lesson and don't make such a mistake in the future. Understand?"

"Comrade General, please rest assured." Kochetov quickly glanced at Lin Hua next to him, full of gratitude to him, and said that if he hadn't been stubborn, he would have set up a defensive position in the north of the town to stop the German army without authorization. Well, maybe the town has been occupied by the Germans, even if it is regained in the shortest possible time, the future of oneself cannot be guaranteed. Regarding what Artemyev said, he quickly stated: "I promise not to make similar mistakes in the future."

Before Artemyev could say anything else, a staff officer knocked on the door and entered the office, saluted Artemyev and reported: "Comrade Commander, we have just been notified that you should rush to the Kremlin for an emergency meeting immediately. .”

"I see." Artemiyev replied casually, shook hands with Kochetov first, then walked up to Lin Hua, and said to him earnestly: "Misha, the defense of Khimki Town , I will leave it to you. If you have any difficulties, you can go to Comrade Kochetov; if he can't solve it, call me."

Lin Hua knew very well that in a few days, the Soviet army would launch a full-scale counterattack under the city of Moscow, defeating the already exhausted German army, and the town of Khimki he was defending would be the last safe place. So he straightened up and went back and said, "Don't worry, Comrade General, as long as we are in Khimki, we will never let a single German into this town."

"Well done, Misha, I really saw you right." Artemyev patted Lin Hua's arm twice with both hands, and said with a smile on his face: "Good luck to you, we will meet again later." !"
