Katya stretched out her right hand and said to Anyukov: "Comrade Anyukov, we meet again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In front of Manturov, Anyukov had to feign a smile, as if forgetting what he had just said. He took Katya's jade hand, looked at the black rose on her head, and said: "Black rose, no, Comrade Voroshilova, I didn't expect you to be Volodya's wife. ”

Katia also smiled enthusiastically and said: "I hope that we will have a good time working together in the future and contribute to this great city and the people of Moscow." ”

"Well said!" Anyukov looked at Manturov beside Katya, "Vorodya, I didn't expect you, a man who stays at home all day, to marry Comrade Voroshilova home, it's really enviable." ”

Anyukov's words made Katya feel extremely embarrassed, and two red clouds suddenly appeared on her face, which was originally as white as snow. But there was no sound.

"Rome." Manturov took Katya's hand and said, "Do you know why I didn't touch another woman when I was in college? ”

"Do you ...... Already with her? ”

"That's right." Manturov said proudly.

However, in the impression of Anyukov and other college classmates, Manturov was a person who "stayed at home", so he was nicknamed "otaku". In addition to attending lectures and working in the Communist Youth League Committee and Party Committee of the university, he stayed in the dormitory or went to the library to read books, and rarely participated in social activities.

In their opinion, it is impossible for such an "otaku" to soak in the outside sister paper, and the black rose, the flower of the Communist Youth League, is even more notoriously cold, and has rejected dozens of men.

They never thought that this "otaku", who does not participate in social activities, would actually walk together with Katia, the flower of the Communist Youth League. Of course, this also explains why Katia rejected dozens of men with superior conditions and outstanding appearance.

"Volodya, I find that I don't know you at all. The matter between you and Comrade Voroshilova is not known to the entire Bauman High Engineer and the entire Moscow State University. ”

Indeed, Manturov and Katia have been together for a long time, more than twenty years ago, before the crossing. But after the two crossed, everyone didn't know each other's new identities, so they didn't get together. Otherwise, if they had known about each other's existence, it is estimated that the matter between the two of them would have become a great story in the two major institutions of higher learning in Moscow.

Manturov laughed at himself: "If you know, I guess I will be hunted down by dozens of rivals." I can't stand here and talk to you right now. ”

"Yes, you are now the People's Commissar, the son-in-law of Marshal Voroshilov, how can anyone dare to bully you? However, at that time, you were really easy to bully. Probably you are hiding from your rival in love, so you will shrink in the dormitory every day, unwilling to come out. ”

"Haha, what you think, that's what you think." Manturov neither admitted nor denied it, but left his friend a little room for imagination.

But the actual reason was not that way, there was no entertainment in Moscow at that time, and Manturov had no other interests other than reading, studying and working. So he simply studied in his spare time, or worked overtime for himself, and as a result, he completed two degrees in one year.

He worked the most overtime, and left a good image of hard work to the leaders of the League organization and the party organization, and got the opportunity to be promoted.

Of course, this kind of life is also very boring for him, so when he has a holiday, he will also make an appointment with his confidants and friends to visit Leningrad, Tula, Tver, Novgorod and other surrounding cities to spice up the boring daily life.

"Volodya," Katya said, taking Manturov's hand, "it's getting late, let's go back quickly." ”

After saying goodbye to Anyukov and the others, the two hurriedly left the square. Walking to Tverskaya Street, and about to cross the street, Katia was suddenly stopped by Manturov. "Katyusha, where are you going? Did you forget to bring some documents? ”

Katya turned around and said, "Volodya, I'm going back to the office and calling home and asking Stepan to come and pick us up." Otherwise, how can we go back? ”

Manturov still stood still, holding Katya's hand tightly, and said, "No need to call. ”

"Why? So how do we go back? Do you have a car? You brought that GAS M1 to Moscow? ”

Manturov nodded and said, "Honey, you've guessed half right. I had a car, but the Gas M1 was still on the Novosibirsk side and I didn't bring it with me. ”

Katia blinked her big, cute eyes and showed a puzzled look, "Does your unit have a car?" ”

"That's right, I have a car in my unit, a ZIS-101B luxury car, but I don't think it's cool enough and not modern enough, so I ordered a more modern ZIS sports car from the Stalin Automobile Plant."

"You're talking about ZIS-101-SPORT (3NC-101-CПOPT)? Only two of these cars were produced for the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Komsomol, did you steal it from the Komsomol? ”

Manturov smiled lightly: "All said, this car is brand new, I specially ordered it from the Stalin Automobile Plant (1-n_ GOCYДAPCT n_a ВTomo 6nльhы n_3a Вoд_nmehn_n.В._cta лnha), a little different from the original, it was named ZIS-101-sport-M.

In addition, the prize of the Order of Lenin, in addition to the prize of 100,000 rubles, included a car produced by the Stalin Automobile Plant (ZIS). I had already taken the 100,000 rubles bonus, but I hadn't taken the sedan yet, so I simply ordered the car from the Stalin Automobile Plant for free. ”

"What is the difference between this ZIS-101-SPOR-M and the original?" Katia asked curiously.

"The car differs from the original in that it has a better power plant, the body is made of high-quality aluminum made by Novosibirsk Metallurgical Complex, and the length of the body has been reduced from 5.75 meters to 4.8 meters in the prototype, which reduces the weight of the car and increases the handling, but the space in the cabin is not affected by the reduction in length.

The sports car can also reach speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour, which is 40 kilometers per hour faster than the prototype. The ultimate speed is estimated to reach 210 kilometers per hour. ”

Unlike contemporary "classic cars", the ZIS-101-SPORT has a very avant-garde appearance, no matter how you look at it, it does not look like a 1939 product, but like a 21st century open-top sports car.

Driving a sports car? That's right, it's an open-top sports car with a retractable fibre roof and a streamlined body. Whether it is the exterior design or the performance of the car, it does not look like a product of that era.

The avant-garde body design of the ZIS-101-SPORT gives the car an elegant exterior shape, the powerful powertrain is covered by a slender hood, the oversized fenders are muscularly contoured, and the retractable fiber roof makes it stand out from the crowd in the sea of boxy sedans and boring designs in the Soviet Union at that time.

However, such an avant-garde design was not well received by people. With the exception of Manturov, Katia, and Stalin, who personally approved the production project, almost no one was interested in the car.

So in the history we know, only two copies of this modern-looking sports car were produced, it was unveiled once at the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Youth League, and then it was no longer there. In Manturov's parallel world, the Stalin Automobile Plant produced a third ZIS sports car for Manturov.

However, due to the difference between the prototype and the prototype specially built by Manturov, whether it is the length, manufacturing materials, or power plant, it has been improved, so it was named ZIS-101M, this M, is the abbreviation of "Manturov".

The ZIS-101-SPORT prototype could reach a top speed of 162 km/h, while the Manturov ZIS-101-Sport-M reached speeds of up to 200 km/h due to its shorter, lighter body and improved powerplant. In terms of speed, it was already world-class (the fastest Dosenberg Model at that time, with a maximum speed of 220 km/h).
