Chapter 344: Sacred War
Just five minutes after the medical team arrived at the Minsk airport, Lin Jun received a message from the Kremlin: Kobets did not dare to take it lightly and wanted to reassure the captain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As long as you arrive safely, let your wife do her duty as a military doctor, Lin Jun can't look at his wife forever and be a super nanny.
The work of the equipment department was in order, Lin Jun just left the equipment department after a brief inspection, and rushed to the propaganda and agitation department to do the first inspection after the war: the propaganda and agitation department was directly responsible to him like the equipment department, although they had their own department leaders responsible for specific things, but Lin Jun, who had "lost power", still needed to inspect the departments under his jurisdiction or listen to reports in the office.
With Lin Jun's character, of course he likes to see it with his own eyes, rather than listening to the report boringly, that's not his style.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Lin Jun walked into the propaganda and agitation department, where he saw a piece of paper that was enough to affect the war - walked into the review room, signaled all the staff who stood up not to affect their work because of their arrival, and then casually looked at a few manuscripts on the desk that were waiting for review.
Literature, art, cinema, and publishing in the Soviet Union were censored, and the job of this large office was to review some literary creations and make literature serve the Great Patriotic War.
Picking up a manuscript, Lin Jun casually looked at it and put it down: this is a call to action for Muscovites, and it will be sent to several newspapers after the meeting. It has always been to read three or five articles and leave, but after a while, Lin Jun was attracted by a manuscript in his hand.
Gusev sensed Lin Jun's strangeness: the chief's eyes stared intently at the manuscript in his hand.
"Immediately print three more copies of this manuscript and publish it tomorrow on the second page of Pravda, Red Star, and Izvestia, with a conspicuous layout. Also, immediately inform the head of the Red Banner Song and Dance Troupe, Comrade Aleksandrov, to come here. ”
"Yes, Chief!"
Gusev took the manuscript and immediately arranged for the people of the Propaganda and Agitation Department to do it, and his peripheral eyes saw that it seemed to be a poem, and the people on the side heard Comrade Marshal seem to be singing a song softly, a tune that had never been heard before, and the lyrics were not understood at once, and the voice of the chief was very soft.
What the deputy commander-in-chief likes to sing is not something that the attachés need to care about, what they have to do is to fulfill all the orders of the marshal without withdrawing or withdrawing.
Temporarily borrowed the minister's office, which was in the Pravda newspaper, Lin Jun told the office staff not to inform him that he was coming: he would leave after a while, and not to disturb the normal work order.
The head of the Red Banner Song and Dance Troupe of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, who was nearly 60 years old, reported to Lin Jun half an hour later, and Lin Jun leaned on the sofa of the comrade minister for a while while waiting.
"Marshal Pu Yakov, head of the Red Banner Song and Dance Troupe Aleksandrov came to report."
"You may be seated, Comrade Alexandrov, there is something you need to arrange." Comrade Regiment Commander, like Lin Jun, had bloodshot eyes, and he must have not slept all night. "This is the "Holy War" written by Comrade Lebedev Kumachi, and it will be published in the newspaper early tomorrow morning, and I want you to compose it as soon as possible, arrange for the comrades of the choir to sing it at the station, and send the score to all the literary and artistic groups of the Red Army and the Red Navy. As for the matter of sending, you can go to the Propaganda and Agitation Department, it is my order. When will you be able to finish composing the music? When will the choir be able to finish? ”
Lin Jun's order and two consecutive questions made Aleksandrov feel the importance of the deputy commander-in-chief to this poem, but he did not answer immediately, but looked at it carefully, and whispered softly - as one of the most famous composers, choral conductors, and music educators in the Soviet Union, he understood the tremendous energy behind this poem at a glance!
"Rise up, great country, fight to the death, to destroy the fascist evil forces, and destroy all evil bandits! ......" A gentle tune came out of the mouth of the comrade commander, and suddenly, the composer, who was already immersed in the improvised composition, found that the deputy commander was singing on the side, and the rhythm and tone were the parts that he could not determine for a moment - exactly in line with the content of the words.
Lin Jun's short gesture made Alexandrov immediately grasp its essence (this was originally Alexandrov's idea. "Comrade Marshal, I can compose the music in two hours, will it be sent to you first when the time comes?" ”
There are rumors in the Moscow music circles that the deputy commander-in-chief is not only a military strategist, but also a musician who is not enough! That song "Evening on the outskirts of Moscow" is something that every young person in Moscow knows!
"No, let the soldiers hear its heart-stirring melody as soon as possible, the soldiers need it!"
"Yes, I'll go back and get ready right away."
Lin Jun nodded, and walked out of the office with Alessandrov: I didn't expect to encounter this incident today, but it can give the soldiers a strong spiritual motivation and make people's blood boil!
Soviet songs are soaked in the unique charm of this desolate land, with a broad, firm, and tragic national image and character characteristics, showing Russia's proud, strong, and heroic national spiritual temperament, and even more revealing the characteristics given by the Great Patriotic War after World War II. In the annals of its songs, "Holy War" (perhaps second only to "Unbreakable Alliance") is the first song in response to the Great Patriotic War, the first "first inscription and the first war ****** published by the people" at the beginning of the war! She was hailed as a "musical monument" to the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union and later received the Stalin Prize for Literature and Art.
Hitler's fascist army invaded the Soviet Union, and the war turned cities into ruins and destroyed people's homes. The Soviet people were outraged! The poet Lebedev Kumacchi wrote the immortal poem with patriotic passion: "Arise, great country ......" which represents the anger and hatred of the vast majority of the Soviet people against the war at the beginning of the war. On June 24, the third day of the outbreak of the war, the poem was published in Izvestia and Red Star. On June 25, Alexandrov, head of the Red Banner Song and Dance Troupe of the Soviet Army, composed a composition for the poem. On June 27 (the sixth day of the war), the Red Banner Song and Dance Troupe premiered the song at the "Belarusian" railway station in Moscow for the soldiers who went to the front. Although "Holy War" is 3/4 beat, it achieves the effect of a march-like 2/4 rhythm when sung, which is unique and can strongly shake people's hearts.
Lin Jun didn't expect to see this poem in the Propaganda and Agitation Department today, of course, let it know to all the Soviet people as soon as possible and inspire the fighting spirit of victory!
Aleksandrov rushed back to the Red Banner Song and Dance Troupe and immediately composed the music on the blackboard in the creation room, he already had a trace of inspiration, plus the prompt of the deputy commander, and composed the music in just half an hour! The comrades of the choir were all assembled, copied the "Holy War" by hand, and immediately rehearsed in groups to prepare for performances in various parts of Moscow.
At 12 noon, on the platform of the railway station "Belarus" in Moscow, groups of soldiers were waiting for the military train, which was about to leave for the front. A group of comrades wearing the uniforms of the art troupe came to the platform, and some officers recognized it as the choir of the Red Army Red Banner Song and Dance Troupe.
The soldiers were not disturbed by this episode, sitting on ammunition boxes and smoking silently - they will not be affected by what is happening around them now, because they are going to the front, and no one knows if they will be able to see the "Belarusian" railway station again!
More than 20 comrades of the choir found a relatively empty place and lined up in two lines, with Aleksandrov personally directing. Nodding his head, when the hand fell, a shocking song sounded: "Rise up, great country ......"
Just as the choir had finished singing the first stanza, all the seated warriors stood up "suddenly", snuffed out their cigarette butts, and quietly listened to the members sing the whole song, and there was no sound on the whole platform except for the whistle of the train in the distance and the singing of the choir members!
The crowd gradually gathered here, and at the end of the song, a colonel officer stepped forward and gave a standard military salute to the comrades in the choir: "Comrades, can you sing it for us?" ”
Aleksandrov nodded in return, and "Holy War" sounded on the platform again, over and over again!
Everyone in the choir knew that this song greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers, and she would inspire the soldiers to destroy all the evil fascist gangs and fight a holy war! Inspired by it, the soldiers will move forward!
When Aleksandrov left the platform, he told the choir members and sang for the soldiers from time to time, so that the soldiers who went to the front line from the railway station could hear this exciting melody, this war ****** written in musical notes!
Groups of soldiers left the platform with a salute to express their determination to the choirs, to Moscow and the Motherland; Batch after batch of soldiers came to the platform and quietly listened to this shocking song "Holy War"!
