Chapter 712: Plain Salinchkin
Yang Mingzhi had already read his heart from Salinchkin's happy face, this guy was really eager to try noodles! Actually, yes, there was a lot of black bread on the table, which was the longest thing that Russians ate. So there is a lot www.biquge.info of buckwheat flour and buckwheat rice in the airdrop materials from the superiors, the former is mixed with white flour to make black leba, and the traditional Russian dish - buckwheat soup is boiled.
Salinchkin sat up straight and couldn't help but sigh: "To be honest, this dish at noon today is really amazing, you must know that the Pripet swamp was originally a wild place, I was ordered to come here and thought I was going to live a hard life, I really didn't expect that life here is still good." I don't expect to eat any good food, just enough potatoes or bread!
In fact, I despise the pampered life of Moscow officials, and I would be happy to go to a difficult place to experience it. I am so naΓ―ve to think about it, if I eat this kind of food every day, and I don't have that guilt of extravagance, how happy I am! β
"Oh? Comrade Commissioner still thinks like this? Yang Mingzhi could feel that this was the man's heartfelt words, he declared that he liked to be thrifty, but in his words, he still liked that kind of high-quality life.
Perhaps it was because the noodles had too much impact on him, and although Salinchkin instinctively knew that it was a dish without tasting it, he simply said more, and his words became a little harsh.
"Comrades, I came from Moscow, and because of the war, most of the government units and factories have been relocated to Kuibyshev, which has become the new capital. However, there are some comrades who forget that we are at war, they are heroes who overthrew Tsarist Russia with the goal of establishing socialism, but the old aristocracy was wiped out, and they actually became new, even if they don't say it, but judging by the style of everyday life, some people are really Bolsheviks?
They have become a privileged class, and even though we are at war, they still enjoy their privileges. On weekdays, we are required to eat well, dress well, and travel by car, and our five million soldiers on the front line are fighting with the enemy while they are eating cheese and wearing fur! I'm really worried. β
Yang Mingzhi was taken aback, could it be that all these words he said were associated from this pot of noodles? Moreover, the content of these words is truly shocking, because he is talking about those people! If these words are heard by Comrade Beria, sooner or later the guys from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will come back to liquidate. The result? Comrade Salinchkin, either Siberia or the Gulag!
No! This guy is the "Chin Cha" sent by Stalin! He must have been someone close to Stalin, and he must have been able to say these words because of this identity.
In fact, he is not bad, if you ask when the Soviet Union began to appear a privileged class, I am afraid that it will appear in full force from the beginning of Stalin's rise to power. Khrushchev found that this problem would endanger the country, and as a result, the privileged class directly deposed him, and sent the good old man Brezhnev to the throne of the first place.
Yang Mingzhi knew that Stalin had always given huge rewards to those who were loyal to him, and even the rewards for meritorious servicemen were not abundant.
After thinking about it, Yang Mingzhi looked at the expressions of Yevlov and Yerentina again, they obviously heard the danger of these words, especially Yerentina, if she stared at those alert eyes, it would be a little scary.
Salinchkin waved his hand: "I'm just whining, and I'm one of those people!" The leader gave me a special allowance of 10,000 rubles a month, and I had to ask for this money. In fact, I still like to be frugal, and even if I am given an allowance, I will donate it, because now the people of the whole country are living frugally, and the materials and money saved are used for the war. We are defending not only the USSR, but our own lives and the lives of our families! However, there are still some people who forget that this time should not be extravagant at all. β
Since this person is so bold, Yang Mingzhi is also bold. "So what is luxury? Let's say we're eating brown bread here, and they're eating cream pastries. We're making noodles into strips and boiling them with vegetables into a pot of soup, and they're eating bear candy caviar. That's luxury, right? β
"Of course? What's the doubt about that? They eat so well, and our people can only eat preserved potatoes! Our people are poor, and they have been even poorer since the outbreak of war, but the lives of the wealthy privileged have not been affected much. This should not have happened in the Soviet Union at all, especially in these war years, and I have no difference in the food of officers and soldiers in terms of the army alone, and only then the soldiers will not complain! β
Yang Mingzhi nodded approvingly, this person named Salinchin is really an old Bolshevik. This said: "To build socialism, we must have developed productive forces, and only in this way can we get rid of poverty." When the war is won, we must give more well-being to the people, as Comrade Lenin said, bread will have butter, this is not a slogan, we must turn this into reality! β
"So what about bread and butter?" Salinchkin asked, looking up.
"Isn't this right in front of you?" It is precisely because this middle-aged man is an old Bolshevik that his class consciousness is too high! Listening to this person's heartfelt words, Yang Mingzhi also realized that this man was looking for his confidant, so what was he still stunned for? Isn't this an opportunity to perform? Moreover, what he said would eventually reach Stalin's ears!
Yang Mingzhi said in high spirits: "We retreated from Minsk to the Pripet swamp with nothing, and for a time we were in danger of running out of food. In order to avoid starvation, I led my army to rob the convoy of the German 707th Division, and I never thought that it would turn into a big war in the end, and after the victory of the battle, we captured even more. However, the capture alone cannot meet the needs of the more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians at present.
We have two proverbs in China. One is called begging others to ask for oneself, and the other is to do it yourself. So our division headquarters discussed, and last year we reclaimed the land on a large scale, so that the potatoes in this pot are also the last crop before the winter last year. It's really these huge potatoes that allow us to survive the winter safely, and even eat food until now! β
"Is this true?" Salinchkin was not too surprised, he had long known that the 284th Division had been engaged in military reclamation, and it was this Chinese who never thought that this strategy would be proposed? There is no doubt that he is a commander and an expert in weapons manufacturing, but does he still have the temperament of a strategist? At least it's a good job of planning ahead!
Yerentina could see that this Salinchkin was in a surprise, and hurriedly helped: "We have to admit that Comrade Belikov was very ahead of his time, he had a unique vision, and after the last battle, it was he who proposed the mass production movement, and this is what we are doing now. Since February, we have cultivated thousands of acres of land and planted potatoes, and the fields around the barracks that have long been reclaimed have been planted with vegetables. As early as the middle of the month, the new potato season will be harvested, and it will be a bumper harvest. β
