Chapter 19 Promotion

The New Year and Christmas holidays are over quickly, and the recruits of the 354th Regiment are about to restart the unfinished assessments. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Since Christmas Day, Eva seems to be guilty and began to avoid Seryosha, and Seryosha took the initiative to find her several times but she used excuses to shirk her. In fact, Seryosha did not blame this girl at all, and neither did Seryosha's comrades-in-arms. Preparations for the raffle that night had begun long before everyone parachuted, but who would have thought that many comrades-in-arms would die not long after, and the boys pretended to say that those sacrificed comrades-in-arms were on duty so as not to hurt the girl's heart.

Seryosha had to be discharged from the hospital within a few days, because everyone had to make some preparations before the exam began. Seryosha left the hospital without seeing Eva, so he bought an expensive bottle of French perfume from outside, along with a bouquet of flowers and a letter, and left it for Eva.

When Seryosha was discharged from the hospital, Grachev specially drove over to pick him up, and he got into Grachev's jeep and thought he would go straight back to the dormitory, but what Seryosha didn't expect was that Grachev actually took him to his office.

"Didn't you just send me back to the dorm?" Seryosha asked curiously.

"No, go to my office first, I have something to discuss with you, and I want to introduce you to someone!" Grachev said as he drove.

Seryosha did not continue to ask, he and Grachev had only recently become acquainted. To be honest, Seryosha did not know much about Grachev, but he had a good impression of him. Although Grachev was the commander of the 254 Airborne Regiment, he did not have the slightest rank of officer, not only did he take the initiative to make friends with recruits like Seryosha, but he always talked with Seryosha in an equal manner. In fact, since Grachev came to Seryosha to confess that day, Seryosha had a good impression of him, at least he was a responsible person. Later, on Christmas Day, Seryosha and other comrades-in-arms mentioned Grachev, and everyone also spoke highly of Grachev. Almost all of them agreed that Grachev fought bravely and always took the lead when he charged. The fact that the fighters can say such things is already the greatest affirmation of Grachev.

The car soon came to the office building of the headquarters of the 103rd Airborne Division, Grachev parked the car on the side of the road, Seryosha opened the door and followed Grachev into the office building of the division headquarters. The guard at the door stood up straight, and when he saw Grachev approaching, he immediately raised his arm and gave a military salute, and Grachev responded with a military salute. This reminded Seryosha of the question of whether he would salute or when he would see Grachev in the future, or when he should salute.

Grachev's office was on the third floor, it was a large office, and the furnishings were very good, and when they went in, someone was cleaning inside, and Grachev let them leave first.

"Coffee or tea?" Grachev closed the door, then turned to Seryosha, who was sitting on the sofa, and asked.

"Coffee bar." Seryosha casually picked one, he actually preferred to have some wine.

Grachev took the brewed coffee pot, took sugar and milk, and brought it to Seryosha along with two cups. Grachev poured Seryosha a cup of coffee, and then asked: "Which one do you want?" ”

"I want milk! Two spoonfuls of sugar too! Seryosha didn't think there was anything wrong with a regiment leader making him coffee.

Seryosha took a sip of the coffee prepared by Grachev, and it tasted really good. He glanced at Grachev, who still had no intention of getting into the main topic. Seryosha then took the initiative to ask, "What do you want to tell me?" ”

"I want to ask you, are you interested in being a platoon commander?" Grachev's words almost made Seryosha squirt out the coffee.

"Platoon commander? I? Seryosha felt that he had definitely misheard, he was now a big soldier, and he was promoted too quickly as a platoon commander.

"Yes! It's you! I consulted the paratroopers of this class, and you Petrov brothers have the highest prestige, and I asked the other four of the five of you, and they told me to listen to you alone. Now, because of the last battle, a battalion commander, a company-level cadre, and two platoon-level cadres have been sacrificed, and the officers have suddenly become a lot vacant. I think you're a good fit. Grachev replied sincerely.

"But I've never been a platoon commander?" Xie Liaosha's words are actually lying, Xie Wenlong in his previous life was a company-level cadre.

"It's okay! I can send you someone to be an instructor, and he's a military school graduate. I think you'll have a good time! Grachev had already thought of the various demands that Seryosha might make, so he prepared in advance.

Seryosha didn't expect this to happen today, so he needed time to think about it. Seryosha seriously considered his current situation, in fact, there is no harm in being this platoon commander, anyway, the five brothers are together, even if someone opposes him, he has to think about it. And Seryosha doesn't like to be managed, and when he becomes an official, he can at least have the final say most of the time. Thinking of this, Seryosha nodded briskly.

"I didn't mistake you Seryosha, I will help you with all the formalities immediately, and your military rank will also be promoted to second lieutenant. I want to congratulate you in advance, Second Lieutenant Petrov. Grachev said sincerely.

"Then we're done talking, aren't we?" Seryosha then asked.

"Nope! One more thing, I said I'm going to introduce you to someone! Grachev turned around and walked to the telephone, picked up the phone, dialed a number, and then said into the receiver: "Captain Lebed, please come to me." ”

Grachev hung up the phone and turned around and explained to Seryosha: "He came to replace the battalion commander of Vasily, is a Cossack, graduated from the Ryazan Airborne Forces Command School like me, and later was admitted to the Frunze Military Academy with excellent grades, and was my junior in Frunze." ”

Seryosha didn't know what to say, Frunze was the best military school in the USSR, and it was certainly not easy to graduate from.

Just as Grachev was still introducing Lebed to Seryosha, there was a knock at the door, and a loud voice said: "Alexander Ivanovich Lebed has been ordered to report for duty!" ”

Seryosha opened the door, and a handsome young man was standing outside the door saluting. Seryosha quickly stepped aside, he couldn't let someone with a higher rank salute him.

"Come on in! This is Seryosha, our hero here! Grachev introduced Seryosha to Lebed.

Lebed looked at Seryosha with a smile, and Seryosha stared curiously at his young boss.
