Chapter 1016

In the middle of the speech, he suddenly stopped, put his head down to his chest, sobbed silently, and his shoulders were shaking.

I raised my hand, patted him gently on the shoulder, comforted him and said, "Vassily, don't worry. With me here, no one has the right to make you blind. But tomorrow's operation must be carried out as usual, and Dr. Sergey will clear the abscess in your eyes, otherwise you will be blind

Vassily looked up as if he didn't hear me and said to himself, "the most precious thing for a sniper is his eyes. If you make him blind, then he will live worse than death. "

"Don't worry, Vassily." I continued, "I promise you, you will never be blind."

Vassily turned his head as if trying to hear what I was saying. Then he asked bluntly, "are you comforting me, comrade commander?"

Listening to his question, I quickly and positively replied, "yes, Vassily, I'm comforting you. Now I'm comforting you to have the courage to go on living. "

Not only did my words not make Vassily relax, but also made him suddenly Alert: "are you sure I won't be blind?"

Hearing what he said, I suddenly turned my head and looked at osimin and Sergey standing in the room. Without deliberately choosing words, I naturally asked, "Dean, Dr. Sergey, can you promise me that Vassily will not be blind after tomorrow's operation?"

My question made osimin a little flustered. He replied with some panic: "Comrade General, it is not realistic to have an operation under our current conditions if we want to achieve 100% success. All I can say is that we will do our best. "

I frowned slightly at osimin's ambiguous answer, then turned to Sergey and asked him directly, "Dr. Sergey, what do you mean?"

Sergey seemed to be thinking. When he heard my question, he hesitated for a moment. Then he looked at me closely and said, "Comrade General, although the risk is greater, I'm willing to try."

I also looked him in the eye and said, "Dr. Sergey, I trust your skill. I believe you will succeed."

He nodded silently and then said nothing.

"Do you hear me, Vassily?" I turned around and comforted Vassily, who was in a stable mood. "Dr. Sergey said that although there are certain risks in the operation, it can guarantee that you will not lose your sight." In order to enhance his confidence, I added, "by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that he is responsible for my eye surgery."

After what I said, Vasili responded again. He raised his head, pointed to Sergey's position and said sincerely, "thank you, thank you, doctor." Then he turned to me and said, "Comrade commander, thank you. Don't worry. I will cooperate with Dr. Sergey to do the operation tomorrow."

I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I hear that Vassily has finally untied his heart. At this moment, osimin came up to me and touched it with his elbow. After drawing my attention, he nuzzled at the pistol on the bed, then winked at me and motioned to me to put it away so that Vassily would not do anything stupid again.

I shook my head, reached out my left hand, grasped Vassily's right hand, gently pulled it to the angle of the palm facing the sky, and then took the heavy pistol from my bed and carefully placed it in his palm.

Vassily held the pistol in his hand and asked me with a smile: "Comrade commander, don't you worry that I will do stupid things again if you return the pistol to me?"

"Yes, don't worry." I said stiffly, "but I remind you that our guns can only be aimed at the enemy, not at ourselves or our comrades. Do you understand?"

"I see, comrade commander." Vassily agreed and thrust the pistol back under the pillow.

"It's getting late. It's time for me to go back. Have a good rest With that, I stood up, shook my head at osimin and Sergey, who were standing beside me, and said, "Dean, doctor, you are going with me."

When I got to the door, I saw that the corridor was still full of sick people, but they didn't come because my guard stopped them. I winked at Yushchenko and motioned to him to disperse the crowd. Yushchenko immediately understood my hint, quickly took a step forward, went to the patient, and said in a loud voice: "comrades, what are you doing standing here? Don't forget that you are still patients. If you don't cultivate yourself well, your stay in the hospital will be extended indefinitely. Let's go back to our respective wards and have a rest. "

After the patients dispersed, I followed osimin to his Dean's office. When he closed the door, I finally lost my temper after a long time of patience. I asked angrily, "Comrade president, please explain to me what's going on? Who on earth told Vassily himself about the removal of his eyeball? "

Seeing that I was angry without warning, osirminin was scared out of his wits and said repeatedly, "general... With Comrade... I... I... Don't... I don't know."

Sergey saw that osiminin was scared to death, so he quickly came out to help him out: "Comrade General, I think this matter has nothing to do with Comrade Dean. It may be that the nurse who went to the ward to change the dressing inadvertently let it slip."

"Well, even if the nurse accidentally let it slip, what did you, the president of the hospital, do after the incident?" When I thought that a group of people had just pointed their guns at Vasili, I was so angry that I said, "if you didn't deal with it in time, you even let the military representatives of the hospital with a group of fully armed soldiers point their guns at our hero."

Seeing that osimin was so frightened that he wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, I still said, "do you know who Vassily is? He is an excellent sniper who has made outstanding achievements in war. The newspaper that published his heroic deeds has been placed in front of Comrade Stalin more than once. If I go a little late and any accident happens, and the higher authorities trace it down, even if you and that military representative are shot ten times, it will be hard for the higher authorities to get rid of their anger. "

My last words became the last straw to crush osimin. He fell to the ground with a puff and murmured, "no, don't shoot me. I'm loyal to Comrade Stalin..."

Originally, for Vassily's sake, I wanted to teach osimin a lesson, but seeing him sitting on the ground in a mess, I couldn't help feeling a little softhearted. I turned and told Yushchenko, "Comrade captain, help the president up."

Yushchenko agreed, stepped forward to osimin's side, bent down to help him up. I didn't expect that osimin didn't look fat, but Yushchenko didn't pull him up. Fortunately, Sergey didn't stand by. He also came forward to help. Together with Yushchenko, he helped osiminin to sit on a bench.

I went to the dejected osiminin, coughed and said to him in a slow voice, "Comrade president, the operation tomorrow will be performed by Dr. Sergey, and you should be his assistant."

When osimin, who had been in despair, heard me saying this, he felt as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. He didn't know where the strength came from. He suddenly stood up and jumped in front of me. He grabbed my arm, patted my chest and assured me: "Comrade General, don't worry, I will be a good assistant for Dr. Sergey in tomorrow's operation."

"That's the best way." After I said this to him coldly, I waved my head to Yushchenko: "Comrade captain, let's go back."

On the bus back to the station, Yushchenko asked me curiously, "Comrade General, I don't quite understand two things. Would you like to know?"

As soon as his words came out, I knew what he wanted to ask, so I politely said, "you can ask. As long as I can answer you, I will certainly tell you the answer. "

"First, since President osimin has obviously put down his great mistake, why don't you ask the health department to replace him?" After getting my permission, Yushchenko couldn't wait to ask his question: "as for the second point, why didn't you deal with the military representative at that time and just drove him out? You know, at your level, even if you remove him on the spot, you can do it. "

After hearing Yushchenko's question, I sighed and said, "Comrade captain, do you think I have no such idea? But I can't. I don't know the health department at all. Even if I say anything, no one will pay for it. As for the military representative you mentioned, the reason why I didn't punish him is that the regular army is responsible for hospital security. Compared with the ordinary militia, their strength is not a bit stronger. If they are transferred away, who knows what the new army will look like, so I will turn a blind eye to the mistakes made by this military representative. "

As soon as we got back to our residence, one of the two soldiers left behind came up to me and said, "Comrade General, there is a major waiting for you."

"Is it under Colonel bezikov?" I asked strangely as I walked in.

The guard bit his head desperately and replied, "no, comrade general, I don't know the major here. He's a stranger."

"A stranger?" After repeating the soldier's words, I said in some unexpected ways, "since it's something for me, why didn't Marshal Zhukov send Colonel zikov instead of a major he didn't know?"

The guard didn't know how to answer me. He just shook his head in a funny way. Then he said, "I'm sorry, Comrade General. I really don't know what happened."

When we walked into the living room where we met, I saw another guard sitting at a table with a major, chatting over tea. They laughed from time to time.

The sound of our footsteps startled them. They stopped talking and looked at the door. Seeing my appearance, they stood up from their seats and straightened themselves up.

I went up to the major and asked with a smile, "major, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, Comrade General." The major replied loudly, "I have been ordered to speak to you."

I went to an empty chair and sat down. Then I said to him, "Comrade major, what is the mission of Marshal Zhukov to send you to us at this time?"

"Marshal Zhukov?" After repeating Zhukov's name, the major shook his head and said in a positive tone, "sorry, comrade general, I think you may have made a mistake. I don't know Marshal at all. How can he give me any orders? "“ You're not under Marshal Zhukov? " The major's reply aroused my interest, so I asked with a smile, "major, if you allow, can you tell me whose subordinate you are?"“ Report to Comrade General. " The major did not care about my sarcastic tone. He respectfully reported, "I have come to see you at the order of general rokosovsky."“ General rokosovsky I was very surprised by the major's words. I didn't know that rokosovsky would send someone to look for me. So I asked mistily, "what did he ask you to come to see me for?"“ Comrade general, "the major said to me solemnly with a straight face," commander rokosovsky asked me to inform you that three days later, that is, March 29, please go to the front line with him to inspect the troops. At that time, I'll pick you up and join the commander. "“ Rokosovsky asked me to go to the front with him to inspect the troops? " This unexpected news, let me a little at a loss, I nervously asked: "major, what do you know?" There was a sunny smile on the major's face: "Comrade General, as far as I know, the commander was inspired by the Supreme Commander himself to make such a decision." After that, he did not wait for me to recover, but asked, "will you allow me to leave, Comrade General?" Hearing what he said, I nodded instinctively, waved to him and said, "you go, comrade major." Long after the major left, I didn't wake up from the shock of this unexpected news. Just then, I heard Yushchenko say with admiration, "Comrade General, if I'm not mistaken, you'll be lucky!"“ Lucky, what's your luck? " I didn't understand Yushchenko's thoughtless words, so I asked back with some dissatisfaction: "Comrade captain, don't play riddles with me any more. Can you make things clear and let me understand what's going on, OK?"
