Chapter 1504

In the air force "what, comrade Khrushchev, will you be awarded the Lenin medal by the supreme command?" When Zhukov heard that, he was stunned for a moment. Then he was surprised and said, "I congratulate you. If I remember correctly, this should be what you got. When Khrushchev mentioned the Lenin medal, I couldn't help looking down at the medal hanging on my chest. There are eight medals with medals, and the most is the red flag medal, The most advanced is the Venus medal, which matches the title of Soviet hero, but there is no Lenin medal.

According to my guess, Zhukov didn't want to go to Kiev, but after listening to Khrushchev's invitation, he changed his mind. He said to the microphone, "Comrade Khrushchev, I remember your birthday is the 15th. Don't worry. Rita and I will fly to Kiev to celebrate your birthday and see you get "great, marshal." As soon as Zhukov put down the phone, I heard sokolovsky standing beside me say excitedly, "Comrade Khrushchev, but in addition to you," Rita, "Zhukov looked at me with a smile and asked," although you have won the title of Soviet hero and the supporting Venus medal, you haven't won the Lenin medal, have you? "

I quickly shook my head like a rattle and replied, "no, marshal, I am not qualified for this highest honor. But you... "Speaking of this, I pointed to his medal hanging on his chest and said enviously," there have been two Lenin medals for a long time. "

It may be that he heard that his former partner Khrushchev wanted to win the Lenin medal, which represents the highest honor. Zhukov looked in a good mood. He asked me with a smile, "do you know how the Lenin medal came from and who was awarded it?"

To be honest, although it has been more than two years since this era, I still have no idea how many kinds of medals there are in the Soviet Union, let alone who these medals are awarded to. I shook my head again and said awkwardly, "sorry, marshal, I don't know."

"Anyway, there is nothing important today. Let me introduce it." Zhukov rarely has such a good sense of leisure. Since he offered to explain the origin of the medal and the object of award to me, I would not object. I nodded quickly to show that I was listening.

"In the medal system of the Soviet Union, there is a medal that can be awarded not only to individuals, but also to collectives and units, and even to republics, cities and regions. It represents one of the highest honors of the citizens of the Soviet Union." Zhukov popularized the common sense of Lenin's medal for me like a professor lecturing to students in class: "this medal was proposed and established by levichwim in July 1926 to reward those who have established outstanding achievements in revolutionary movement, work practice, defending socialist country, promoting friendship between people and promoting equality Units and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the country and society. This proposal was later adopted by Comrade Stalin and the medal was introduced. Originally named "the order of Illich", it is made of the head of comrade Lenin in relief.

In April 1930, the central executive committee of the Soviet Union issued an order officially establishing the Lenin medal. According to the order, the conditions for awarding the Lenin medal are as follows: having made outstanding contributions and achievements in the Soviet Union's economy, science and technology, society and culture, or having significantly improved the efficiency and quality of work, and promoting the unity and friendship of the Soviet people; He made outstanding contributions in defending the socialist motherland and enhancing the Soviet Union's national defense capability; They have made outstanding revolutionary acts or performed prominently in national, social and political activities; He made outstanding contributions in promoting the unity and friendship between the people of the Soviet Union and other countries; He has performed well in promoting socialist cooperation, developing the international communist movement and the people's liberation movement, or in the struggle to maintain peace, democracy and socialist order; He made other outstanding contributions to the Soviet Union.

In addition to individual citizens of the Soviet Union, the order of Lenin can also be awarded to Soviet enterprises, organs, industrial facilities, associations, military units, warships, autonomous republics, regions, autonomous regions, cities and other regions. Non Soviet citizens, enterprises, associations and foreign regions also have the opportunity to receive the Lenin medal. "

I remember that in his lifetime, Zhukov won 61 medals and medals, including six Lenin medals, but now he has only won two. So as soon as he finished speaking, I said to him in a flattering tone, "marshal, according to your outstanding contribution in the Great Patriotic War, you will surely be awarded the Lenin medal and a higher level medal again."

As for my flattery, Zhukov put his hand on it and said modestly, "look, Rita, I've got more than 20 medals, almost all kinds of medals. It's not likely that I'll get any more medals in the future."

"Marshal, please believe my judgment." I pretended to say mysteriously: "according to my intuition, let's not talk about other medals. This is the Lenin medal. You can get at least two more medals."

For my prediction, Zhukov laughed but said nothing. Sokolovsky could not sit still: "Comrade oshanina, I know that your hunch has always been quite accurate. Since you assert that marshal can win more than two Lenin medals, how many medals can I get?"

Although I've seen sokolovsky wearing a marshal's uniform full of medals in later generations, I didn't take a close look at the medals on it. However, since he has asked this sentence, he can't pass without answering. After a moment's hesitation, I said vaguely, "Comrade chief of staff, I dare not say anything about other medals, but I think the number of Lenin medals you can get will never be less than that of Marshal."

Sokolovsky looked down at his medal and asked in an uncertain tone, "Comrade oshanina, are you sure that I will get as many Lenin medals as Marshal Zhukov?"“ Comrade chief of staff, "I don't know how many medals sokolovsky won in his lifetime, but under such circumstances, I can only reply with a stiff head:" my intuition is always accurate, and I believe my guess will not be much different from the actual situation. " Just as sokolovsky was about to get to the bottom of the matter, a staff officer came up to him, handed him a piece of paper in his hand, and reported: "chief of staff, this is a telegram from the 38th and 40th army groups. Their troops have entered the mountain area organically and have made a fire with the subsequent German troops."“ That's great. That's great. " After listening to the staff officer's words, sokolovsky didn't care to ask me any more. Instead, he quickly scanned the above contents, handed them to Zhukov, and said excitedly, "Comrade marshal, our troops have bitten Hubei's troops. In this way, they can't fly."
