Salinchkin did not hesitate any longer, he continued to read out loudly: "With the approval of the State Defense Committee, Pyotr Ivanovich Berekov was appointed commander of the 63rd Army, and Semyon Grigorinovich Yevlov was appointed deputy commander. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

He had already hinted at this result, and Yang Mingzhi was not overly surprised. It was Yevlov, who was originally a regiment commander, and his promotion to division commander was already a great honor, and now he was actually appointed deputy army commander, which made him tremble.

This appointment is amazing! The vast majority of the participants, immersed in excitement, were not only shocked by such an appointment, but more incomprehensible. There was a lot of talk about it, but for no other reason, because Yang Mingzhi, he was not a citizen of the Soviet Union.

So, how can a foreigner hold such a big position as the commander of a group army? Even if everyone respects, admires and even loves him from the bottom of their hearts, he is a foreigner after all!

In the cacophony, Yang Mingzhi quickly discerned these doubts. He was not angry, but he himself was just as puzzled - because he really wanted to become a historical figure when this appointment was carried out.

Just imagine, no matter what his future holds, in the history of World War II in this plane, there was a Chinese in the Soviet Red Army, who served as the commander of the army group and fought against the German army! What a romantic and legendary story this is, and I am really writing history!

Salinchkin was also well aware that if he made such an announcement, it would cause controversy. He coughed a few more times into the microphone, silenced the room, and then ordered the two to come to the front desk and explain this important document.

"Comrades! The appointment of Comrade Berekov and Comrade Yevlov was the decision of the State Defense Committee, approved by the leader, Comrade Stalin, and we cannot question the leader's decision.

I have just heard that since Comrade Berekov is Chinese, is it very inappropriate for him to hold such a key post? Such statements are clearly wrong, this is the decision of the superiors, and everyone must agree! If anyone expresses skepticism and unrealistic discussions, it is a violation of military discipline and law!

But I know that you are still somewhat reluctant in your heart, and that is because Comrade Berekov is Chinese, not a citizen of the Soviet Union. If he had been a citizen of the Soviet Union, there would have been doubts, and they would have become doubts about his command ability!

Notice that the leaders have taken note of this. Now the USSR and China are a strategic alliance, and it is perfectly moral to serve as our senior officers for the combat heroes of the allied countries. Furthermore, is this situation unique? As early as the Great Patriotic War of 1812, there was no shortage of foreign officers in the Tsarist army. Therefore, the decision of the leaders and the National Defense Committee not only has a historical basis, but is also the best choice for us.

Comrade Berekov has proven his talents, he is an important decision-maker in Novgomel, and he is also the military leader who we continue to fight. He has held a deputy position for a long time, which is completely out of proportion to his strength.

For these reasons, the leader believed that only by promoting him to a full-time post and leading the military forces in the huge guerrilla zone of Novgomel could he better deal with the enemy. Therefore, it is hereby appointed! ”

At this point, Yang Mingzhi clearly realized that he didn't need to say much. Because this Salinchkin has already explained everything that can be explained.

This man mentions the Great Patriotic War of 1812, and he knows only a little about the old history. In short, under the influence of the European Enlightenment, many people of insight in Europe went to Russia, and they served as military officers, especially Barclay de Tolly, the marshal of Tsarist Russia, who was himself a Scotsman!

The reason why the Soviet-German war was called the "Great Patriotic War" by the Russians was precisely to distinguish the "Great Patriotic War of 1812" with the word "great". The Soviets knew about the war more than a hundred years ago, because it was their history. It is very ironic to say that the main battlefield of the war at that time was also in Belarus!

After talking about Yang Mingzhi, Salinchkin introduced Yevlov again, because quite a few people at the meeting only knew that he was promoted by the regiment commander, and that's it. Salinchkin introduced Yevlov's resume, and his words were in order.

First of all, he was a full veteran, and in the twenties, he was promoted from the most ordinary private to battalion commander by virtue of seniority.

He was promoted to the rank of infantry regiment commander in the great expansion of the army before the outbreak of the war, and after that, he participated in all the wars in which the 284th Division participated until now.

Because Yang Mingzhi's brilliance had completely overshadowed this man, Salinchkin said: "The National Defense Committee believes that Comrade Yevlov is a soldier who thinks he is calm and calm, and that he can always carry out orders, so he is appointed deputy commander of the army group to stabilize the army!" ”

Smart people can hear that these decent evaluations simply say that the reason why he can serve as deputy commander is entirely because he has been in the army for more than ten years, and after a tragic war, he is still alive. Such a person has become rare in this war, and this unparalleled qualification is actually justified as the commander of the group army!

However, this war is not won or lost by virtue of military seniority, only a commander like a god of war can create a military miracle.

Putting the two together, Salinchkin's personal resume of service in the Soviet army illustrates it, and when compared with each other, it is clear who is the best commander.

The leader made a human life, and Salinchkin gave a full set of explanations, does anyone else question it? Not anymore!

Yang Mingzhi was moved in his heart when he listened, not only did this person praise himself, but also showed Stalin, who was far away in Moscow, had a strong interest in himself. He also knew that this Salinchkin forcibly compared himself with Yevlov, making his old buddy, as if he was fighting for seniority and enough luck to become the deputy commander!

"Will he feel upset?" Yang Mingzhi glanced at him, only to see that this guy's eyes were completely crazy! "Hey, hey! He's such a simple guy, if you give him a quiet room, he can roar excitedly for hours! ”

……

After Salinchkin's words were finished, he paused, and after the atmosphere eased, he continued: "Next, I invite our two group army commanders to give speeches on stage!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there were bursts of applause from the audience.

Yang Mingzhi glanced at Yevlov with a smile and stretched out his right hand: "How about it, why don't you go to give a speech first?" ”

"Huh! You Chinese are always so modest! When Yevlov said this, he himself couldn't keep his mouth shut, not at all like yesterday, scratching his scalp and looking for someone to polish his pen in order to write a speech.

It can be seen that he was directly promoted by the National Defense Committee, but he was ruthlessly promoted, wouldn't this be emotional? Even if Yevlov feels like a deep guy, at this moment his mood is extremely cool, like a few bottles of wine in a row.

Therefore, when he really started to speak, the old brother that Yang Mingzhi expected was not at all, but every sentence came from the bottom of his heart.

Probably, this guy never imagined that he could hold such a high position.

Yevlov described himself as a peasant in the Far East, and at the end of the last century his family emigrated to settle in present-day Khabarovsk Krai, joining the army in the twenties.

It can be said that this guy is an honest man, and he does not shy away from explaining that he joined the army to have enough to eat, and later learned socialism in the army and became a "great Red Army soldier".
