At 19:30, the ghost ended tonight's test flight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Lin Jun encouraged the developers and test pilots, and got into his bulletproof car with Uncle Ivan. However, the children were not in the car, and Lin Lin was the first reluctant to go to Moscow - tired of pestering his father during the day, he had already slept with his younger brother in the room of Arkhipov's house.

And Vuginskaya didn't have time to watch the show with her tonight, so she temporarily added a difficult operation to herself, which won't end until at least 10 p.m.

At night, there were hardly any cars on the roads outside Moscow, and the convoy was very fast, arriving at the Moscow Grand Petrov Theater before half past eight in the evening.

There are no pre-war lights, and lights are controlled in Moscow, but there are quite a few cars on Theater Square. There were still people entering the theater gate one after another, and when they saw Lin Jun arriving, people kept coming forward to greet them.

Pauckel waited faithfully at the door, greeted him and said: "You are in the original box, Comrade Stalin has not yet arrived, it is estimated that it will be ten minutes." ”

Lin Jun nodded, "Where are you sitting?" ”

Pauckel smiled and replied, "You know I like the front row, I got myself two seats in the second row, the side one." ”

The head of his office never had to worry about himself, and Pauckel liked to watch shows and didn't like boxes. In fact, Lin Jun thinks that he knows how to enjoy it very well, and he can see it more clearly in the front row than in the box, so he has to sit in the front row to watch the play.

Pauckel was also clever and chose a position to the side, not like a conspicuous target. Sitting in the middle of the front row, a place that anyone will notice

However, Lin Jun can't sit in the front row, he has a fixed box No. 2, which can't be determined by his preference: as long as he decides to come to see the show, that box is his. It turned out that the box belonged to Kirov, but it was impossible for Kirov, who was in Leningrad back then, to use his own box, so the performance was for important audiences.

After Kirov's assassination, Box No. 2 was empty, and there was no specific meaning for the members of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, like Voroshilov and Kalinin and others had their own boxes, personal habits and delicate relationships, and Box No. 2 was finally given to Lin Jun.

Just as he was about to part with Pauckel, Lin Jun saw a female comrade in her 60s walk into the hall.

Stopping the steps that he was originally planning to leave, Lin Jun stepped forward: "Hello, Comrade Waganova, I didn't expect to meet you here." I haven't seen each other for more than a year since we last met in Leningrad. ”

I have been to Leningrad many times over the years, and I have seen this old lady several times, and Lin Jun knows her.

"Hello, Marshal Plunyakov. It was more than a year ago, and the day before yesterday I arrived in Moscow to attend a wartime cultural propaganda work conference, and the comrades of the theater left me a ticket to come and see the students' performances. ”

Except for those people in the presidium and old acquaintances, the current Lin Jun will not take the initiative to greet someone to greet, and although this old lady is not very familiar, she is a respectable person - she is the founder of the Soviet classical ballet education system.

In 1921, Vaganova began to teach at the Leningrad School of Dance, absorbing the advantages and strengths of the French and Italian schools of ballet in her field, creatively developing the excellent traditions of Russian ballet, carrying out a series of reforms in the training methods of Russian ballet, and establishing a complete system of ballet education.

She trained an entire generation of outstanding Soviet ballerinas and today she is performing two excerpts from ballet, many of whom were her students, and the star of them is none other than Galina Ulanova, one of the best students of Vagannova.

"I'd like to invite you to my box to watch the show together, I wonder if it's an honor?"

Although it was a little abrupt to hear Lin Jun's invitation, it was a very high courtesy for Vaganova, a dance teacher who had only won the title of People's Actor of the Russian Republic in 34 years.

"It was a pleasure to watch the performance with Comrade Marshal."

Vagannova did not refuse, readily agreed.

Lin Jun smiled and stretched out his hand, the old lady smiled and bent her hand, Lin Jun stepped forward and grabbed Waganova's arm, and took the old lady to leave the hall and go to the box together.

A few people in the hall who hadn't left saw this scene, and someone whispered to the people who came with them, "Who is that old lady?" ”

"You don't know? The teacher of the ballet goddess Ulanova, Vagannova. ”

"Oh." It seemed to dawn on him when he asked.

When the crowd of whisperers suddenly came to their senses and prepared to enter the theater, they saw a gaze staring at them, and the other people were shocked, and the person who thought he knew the inside story and explained the situation turned pale instantly!

The owner of that look was Pauker, the former head of the Kremlin guard and now the chief of staff of the deputy commander-in-chief. After an understatement, sharp look, Pauckel left the hall contentedly. In just a short moment, those people seemed to go to the gates of hell for a walk, and it is estimated that they didn't have much heart to watch tonight's performance.

There is still a long walk to the box and a staircase. Lin Jun introduced several guards and Ivan to Vaganova as he walked, "This is my Uncle Ivan, this is our outstanding ballet people's artist Vaganova." ”

Ivan was wearing a Lenin suit, and when Lin Jun introduced his guards to the artist just now, he did not introduce the identity of the old lady, but this time he introduced each other and called him uncle. This immediately reflects the special identity of Uncle Ivan, everyone knows that Lin Jun and his wife are both standard orphans, and this Uncle Ivan is obviously a very close person to the marshal.

A few guards were left to guard the outside of the box, and the passage was filled with other important people's guards, and the guards nodded to each other - most of them were from the Ministry of the Interior, and they knew each other in their daily work - since the assassination of Lincoln in the last century, almost all the leaders of the country had arranged this when they were in the theater, so as not to get an uninvited guest through the door of the box in a daze.

Lin Jun, Ivan, Vagannova, and three guards, Landskozy, Lieutenant Vostov, and Senior Warrant Officer Aleksandrov, entered their box together, and were immediately noticed by the others in the box on the sixth floor of the arc, and the audience in the 2,150-seat box in the hall below also noticed that the second box was coming.

Lin Jun gave up the main seat to the old lady, Vaganova was too familiar with the theater, at first the main seat refused to sit down, and only sat down after Lin Jun insisted repeatedly. Lin Jun sat next to the old lady, on the other side was Uncle Ivan, and Landscocki sat a little back.

However, the guards did not sit down immediately, but stood for a moment in the two corners of the box, observing the entire interior of the theater.

As a matter of routine, the Grand Theatre is now defended like a barrel, and there can be no danger.

"Marshal, it's been a long time since I've seen a show in the box of the Grand Petrov Theater, almost more than ten years." Looking at the golden theater of the Bolshoi Theater, Vagannova looked a little emotional.

"I haven't been here for a while since the war began, and I remember the first time I came here to see a show in 34 years, I was like a dirt bun, and I ran to buy tickets on the night of the performance, and I was almost treated as an alien by the ticket seller."

"Haha, I didn't expect this special situation to happen to you, Marshal." The old lady smiled and said, "In the end, Comrade Conductor didn't embarrass you, did he?" ”

Recalling the ugly events of the year, Lin Jun was also laughing: "Fortunately, there is also a box, and the comrades of the theater provided one for me, and said that for the first time for the comrades of the Heroes of the Soviet Union to come to the Grand Theater, I even saved money to buy tickets." ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Uncle Ivan on the other side was also smiling and said, "That time, Andrei just arrived in Moscow, and he probably doesn't know anything about things in the big city." ”

"Uncle Ivan and I both came from Chukchi, and I was a mechanic when I was there, and Uncle Ivan was a senior mechanic and my master, and treated me like a son. To be honest, I miss the distant Chukchi Sea a little, and when the war is over, I must go back to see it. ”

"Then you're going to call me." Ivan said.

"Definitely." After speaking, Lin Jun said to Vagannova: "It's better for you to call me Andrei, I don't like an elder like you to call me a military rank." ”

"This is not good, marshal, then the leading comrades will think that I, an old woman, have relied on the old and sold the old."

Vaganova has always been known for her rigor, and she even opposes inspirational teaching methods when teaching students, requiring every lesson and training combination to be purposeful. Although she is refreshing, Lin Jun absolutely cannot agree with such an opinion.

Knowing the old lady's temper, Lin Jun did not continue to insist.

Lin Jun stood up as he saw people in several boxes greeting him, and he nodded in return. In a box on the right hand of the 5th floor, Lin Jun saw that Vasily, who had left with his sister in the afternoon, was saluting here, and the two consecutive boxes were occupied by Red Army commanders and fighters who had just been awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union yesterday.

Lin Jun casually returned a military salute over there, and then a guard walked in outside the box, "Marshal, Comrade Stalin has arrived." ”

Stalin's box was next door, and he could see the main seat without probing Lin Jun.

When the Supreme Commander walked into the box, Lin Jun took the lead in applauding, and everyone in the entire theater hall stood up and applauded.

Stalin smiled and motioned for everyone to be free, and it took a while for the hall to fall silent. Vaganova and Uncle Ivan were very excited, and now they were only two or three meters away from Comrade Stalin, and they still watched the performance together.

Stalin found an old lady sitting in the main seat of Lin Jun's box, and seemed to have a slight impression, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"Snornick, who are the others in Andrey's box?" Stalin was not loud.

The Kremlin guard captain noticed the situation in the deputy commander's box when he entered the box, and of course he knew who Stalin was asking, not the three guards. He replied in a low voice: "One is Uncle Ivan, the deputy commander-in-chief, a senior mechanic of the Zhukov Academy. The other should be Comrade Vagannova of the Leningrad Dance School, a Russian people's actress, a famous ballet educator, and many students are famous Soviet ballet dancers. Her students should be featured in today's performance. ”

Snornick had seen Vaganova when he followed Lin Jun, so he could recognize it at a glance.

"Which ones?"

"I only know that Comrade Galina Ulanova is her best student."

Stalin nodded, and the subtle change in his expression made Snornik feel like a commander and suddenly realized: how could Lin Jun feel that his nose was a little itchy. (To be continued.) )
