Chapter 1597

Although the phone was connected in just one or two minutes, it seemed to me that it was as long as a month. Rokosovsky pressed the earphone tightly to his ear and said to the microphone, "Comrade belia, I have an important matter to report to you immediately."

Without greeting or any prologue, rokosovsky directly introduced the situation to belia at the other end of the telephone line. I heard him finally say: "Comrade belia, this is the situation. Do you think you can report to Stalin at the right time?"

I didn't hear what the other party said because of the distance. But seeing rokosovsky's face turning blue and purple, I still guessed that belia must have said something bad.

Rokosovsky removed the earphone from his ear, slowly put it on the base of the phone, picked up the cigarette case on the table, pulled out one and lit it, then went back to the conference table and sat down.

All three of us watched him nervously to see what he would say next.

Rokosovsky looked at Bulganin and malining on the left and right, and said: "Comrade belia said that he would report this matter to Comrade Stalin at the right time."

Seeing that rokosovsky talked to the other two leaders of the front army first, he intentionally or unintentionally ignored me. His reaction made me feel ominous. Did the meeting between myself and buniachenko really cause great disaster?

"Rita," rokosovsky said solemnly, putting out his cigarette in the ashtray in front of him and looking up at me, "you don't have to go to trakov any more recently. I'm going to arrange another job for you."

"It's over," I said to myself in my heart. "Rokosovsky's saying that is tantamount to idling me. He may not even know what will happen next."

I tried to cover up my confusion and asked calmly, "Comrade marshal, I don't know what kind of work you are going to arrange for me?"

"It's like this," rokosovsky said absentmindedly. "In a series of battles of our front army, the troops paid huge casualties. If conditions permit, most of the wounded were sent to the military hospital in the rear, but there are still a large number of wounded in the field hospital in the front. At present, our medical staff are seriously understaffed... "

When I heard this, my heart sank suddenly, saying that although I didn't ask for instructions from my superiors before I went to see buniachenko in private, it was wrong of me, but the starting point was good. Will rokosovsky wipe me to the end because of this, and directly demote me from deputy commander of the front army to health officer?

I did not wait for rokosovsky to finish, then tentatively asked: "marshal, are you going to let me go to the field hospital to be a health worker?"

"I want you to be a health worker? How is that possible? " When rokosovsky heard what I said, he immediately widened his eyes, looked at me with incredible eyes and said, "how can I let the deputy commander of the front army go to the small field hospital to be an ordinary health worker?"

Hearing that I was not asked to be a health worker, I was relieved, and then asked, "what kind of work do you plan to arrange for me?"

"We recruited a group of female soldiers from the rear and set up a health company. After a simple training, we are going to assign these female soldiers to various field hospitals to serve as health officers." "Your task is to assist the company's commanders, manage and train these women soldiers," rokosovsky said without expression

"I see, comrade marshal." Although I was assigned a job by rokosovsky, I knew that he did it to protect me, so I readily agreed: "I will report tomorrow."

Just when rokosovsky explained to me some precautions of the women's health company, the high-frequency telephone on the desk in the distance rang without warning. He turned his head and looked over there. As soon as he was leaning forward, Bulganin got up first and said to him, "marshal, maybe it's Moscow. I'll take it."

Rokosovsky nodded, gestured to Bulganin that he could answer the phone, and then sat back in his chair.

Bulganin went to his desk, picked up the earphone, stuck it to his ear and said aloud, "I'm Bulganin. Where are you?" After listening to what the other party said, he quickly covered the phone and whispered to us, "it's comrade Stalin."

When I heard that Stalin was calling, I felt numb on my scalp. A chill ran up my back. The chill quickly spread to my whole body. I didn't have much time to wrap my whole body.

My brain was blank, looking at Bulganin who was talking to Stalin in the distance. I just saw his lips moving. I didn't hear what he said.

"Rita, Rita." In the end, malining came up to me and grabbed my arm. After shaking it hard, I barely woke up. He asked me in a loud voice, "what are you thinking? Marshal called you several times, but you didn't hear it."

"Oh, comrade marshal is calling me." Although my mouth said so, my eyes were still fixed on Bulganin, who had just come by, and asked in a trance: "marshal, what instructions do you have?" When I said this, I was complaining in my heart. I thought that when I conquered Berlin, I would have a chance to become a wartime marshal, and I could be a general at worst. But at the moment, everything seems to be over. Whether I can keep my rank now is a question. Rokosovsky saw that I was out of my mind and said to Bulganin, "Comrade military commissar, tell us what Comrade Stalin said on the phone." Bulganin looked at me with a smile, and then said, "marshal, the Supreme Commander himself very much agrees with your arrangement. He is going to let Rita take charge of the women's health company for a period of time." Rokosovsky nodded and then asked, "did you say anything else?"“ Of course, "said Bulganin, nodding his head and affirming," but he's going to let me give it to Rita myself. "“ The Supreme Commander himself has something to say to me? " After listening to Bulganin's words, I felt that there was still room for things to turn around. A new hope lit up in my heart. I couldn't wait to ask, "Comrade military commissar, please tell me quickly. What does Comrade Stalin want you to convey to me?"“ He asked me to tell you: about buniachenko, he will send someone to deal with it overnight, so don't meddle in your business. " Bulganin looked at me and said flatly: "during this period, you are in charge of the management of the women's health company. After they are assigned to the field hospitals, you go to the 47th and 70th group armies to coordinate the operations of the two groups, and find the right fighters to attack the German Army on the East Bank of the viswa river." After Bulganin's words, not only I was relieved, but also rokosovsky and malining were relieved. Because we all know in our hearts: Stalin himself said that he wanted me to go to the health company just to punish me a little and let me have a long memory, so as not to make similar mistakes in the future. It is important for me to go to the 47th and 70th group armies, because they are now deployed in the northeast of Warsaw. As long as we can defeat the German troops on the East Bank of the visva River, our troops can cross the river smoothly and enter Warsaw from the East.
