Chapter 25 Days in Moscow (1) Rest
Unit A is now returning to Moscow as a hero, and Andrei feels like a dream in the car, Hero of the Soviet Union! This is the highest honor! The "Golden Star Medal", which represents the Hero of the Soviet Union, is worn on the left chest, and the position is higher than other medals and medals. Pen? Interesting?

The title "Hero of the Soviet Union" was established in 1934. On April 16, 1934, the Central Executive Committee of the USSR adopted a decision to award the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union" to individuals and collectives who had performed heroic feats against the country. On July 29, 1936, the Central Executive Committee of the USSR adopted the Regulations on the Title of Hero of the Soviet Union. On August 1, 1939, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR decided to establish the "Golden Star Medal" to be awarded to the "Hero of the Soviet Union" for heroic feats of service to the country. This is the embodiment and symbol of the highest honor! He actually became the Hero of the Soviet Union, and Andrei is now very proud!
After passing through several heavily guarded checkpoints, we finally entered the city of Moscow. Seeing the familiar buildings on both sides of the street, Andrei remembered the classic line: "I am back again", and Andrei entered the Lubyanka gate, and a captain immediately came to him. The captain raised his hand and saluted Andrei, and then asked in a polite tone and businesslikely: "Is it Major Yakov, please?" ”
Andrei nodded and replied: "Yes, I am Yakov." ”
"Comrade Minister asked me to pick you up, he has been waiting for you for a long time." With that, the captain took a step back. I turned to the side and made a gesture of please in the direction of the building.
Andrei solemnly said to the captain: "Let's go, Comrade Captain." Please lead the way for me ahead. ”
Andrei followed the captain into the building, where he saw that the building was full of people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After they met Andrei. They stopped and pressed their bodies against the wall. Raise his hand to salute Andrei, and Andrei also raised his hand to return the salute one by one.
The captain led me quickly to a room and stopped at the outlet, and said to the lieutenant on duty, who had just risen from the table: "Lieutenant, this is Major Yakov, whom Comrade Minister is going to summon. ”
The lieutenant glanced at me, did not speak, but went to the door, pushed open one of the two tall wooden doors, glanced inside, and closed the door again. Then he walked up to me and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Comrade Major, the minister is still talking to the other commanders, please wait a while." As he spoke, he gestured to a row of chairs against the wall not far away, "You can sit down in the chairs and rest for a while." ”
I nodded, walked over to the chair position, and found a random chair to sit down. I wanted to beckon the captain to sit down as well, but he walked up to me and said respectfully: "Comrade Major, my mission has been accomplished, please allow me to leave!" ”
"Go, Comrade Captain. When Andrei sat on his chair and waited for Beria to receive him, he thought that he could take a rest when he returned to Moscow, and he didn't know what would happen to the development of history after his own toss!
While he was thinking nonsense, Andre heard a knock on the door and quickly turned his head to look. I saw two generals with serious expressions walking out of the house. Seeing them appear, the lieutenant on duty, who was originally sitting at the table, quickly stood up and straightened his body. And when Andrei saw the people of the rank of the two generals, he also quickly stood up and raised his hand to salute the two.
The two generals were talking in a whisper, and when they saw someone next to them saluting them, they glanced at each other, returned the salute casually, and walked along the corridor without stopping.
Andrei looked at the backs of the two generals, and said in his heart that they looked very raw, and he didn't know if they were one of the big figures in the history of the KGB. At this time, I heard the lieutenant's voice coming from behind: "Comrade Major, you can go in now." ”
I turned around and saw that the lieutenant had opened the door and stood straight in the doorway, waiting for me to enter.
I walked briskly towards the door, thanked the lieutenant, and walked into Beria's office.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw that in this large and spacious room, there was a long conference table in the middle, and around the table were beautifully crafted wooden chairs. Beria was on the other side of the table, looking at the papers in front of him. Hearing someone come in, he asked without looking up, "Is there anything else?" ”
Andrei hurriedly took a few steps forward, raised his hand to his forehead, and said loudly: "Report to Comrade Minister." Major Andrei Yaaron Yakov was ordered to come from Kyiv and wait for your orders, please instruct! ”
Hearing that it was Andrei's voice, Beria raised his head and glanced at me. A smile appeared on his originally expressionless face, and he walked quickly towards Andrei, and at the same time said loudly: "It turned out that Andrei is here!" ”
As soon as he saw Andrei, Beria said with a smile on his face: "Andrei, do you know? Minister Voroshilov suggested that you be transferred to the Red Army unit as a commander, what do you think? ”
"Ah" As soon as he heard Beria's words, Andrei was directly startled, although the person in front of him is now kind-hearted, but this is Beria, although Stalin died and the end was not good, but now he is in full swing, he still continues to follow this boss, so Andrei hurriedly said: "Comrade Beria, I feel that I am still more suitable for the work of the internal affairs army, and I am willing to sniff out and eradicate traitors for the Soviets" This sentence is the purpose of the Cheka said by Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the Cheka!
Upon hearing Andrei's words, Beria happily said: "That's right, you are an excellent officer of our internal affairs forces or more suitable for our work"
After a routine inquiry about the current situation of Unit A, Beria had a smile on his face: "You are good, Andrey, and that's what I'm going to tell you." For your performance behind enemy lines, and for the results you have achieved, you deserve the credit you deserve. ”
Andrei remembered that in the telegram sent by Zhukov before, he had mentioned that he would be awarded the title of "Golden Star Medal" and "Hero of the Soviet Union", and quickly straightened up and said in accordance with the regulations: "Serve the Soviet Fatherland!" ”
Unexpectedly, Beria waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's useless for you to tell me now, because the granting is not my responsibility." Probably seeing the look of astonishment on my face, he added, "Your award ceremony will take place tomorrow morning, and you will be awarded the medal by a member of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet." ”
Beria's words once again calmed Andrei, and he asked in surprise: "What? Comrade Minister, what do you say? Didn't you give me the medal by a member of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet? ”
"That's right, in recognition of your merits, the specifications of this award are determined by the Supreme Commander himself." After hearing this, Beria replied with a smile: "The place of the award is in the Kremlin." ”
"What about after the award?" Andrei asked.
Beria replied: "Unit A will rest and replenish its personnel first, and at the same time, you will allocate some forces to guide the formation of special forces on the GRU side!" ”
"Yes", after which Andrei left the Lubyanka and returned to the station
And back to the station, everyone took a good shower and then eaten, this food is very simple, a black bread, a beetroot soup, everyone is happy to eat these two things, this is actually everyone's unanimous request, Andrei knows why this is because black bread and beetroot soup occupy an extremely important position in the diet of Russians and Ukrainians, just like steamed bread noodles in the north of China, rice in the south of a truth, hungry, the picture that flashes in my mind is these, not big fish or meat or something, Although the soldiers were fed military rations aided by the United States, black bread and beetroot soup were the favorites of every soldier.
At this time, Andrei remembered that when he was in Smolensk, there was once a comrade-in-arms' family in Moscow, so Andrei took two fighters there, but he didn't expect Andrei to be startled as soon as he arrived, when Andrei parked the car at the gate, this comrade-in-arms called Popov is a second lieutenant, and now life and death are unknown, and Andrei just handed over a letter from Popov to his family at that time, Andrei got off the car and saw that this was a university dormitory area, it seems that Popov is also a family of intellectuals, Who knew that as soon as Andrei and the two soldiers walked into the gate, the people around them scattered as if they had seen a ghost, and Andrei was very embarrassed at this time, after all, the original purge, many intellectuals were sent to the Gulag in Siberia, for these blue-hat internal affairs troops, these relatives have people who go to dig potatoes, they are already instinctively afraid, like a mouse seeing a cat, fortunately, Andrei used the relationship of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find the exact address before he came, and there is no need to find someone to ask for directions, Unexpectedly, Andrei and they came all the way to Popov's house, when they walked to the door, there happened to be a mother in the family next to them who pulled her daughter home, when the little girl saw Andrei and a few people, she cried directly, and Andrei quickly looked over with a smile, who knew that the little girl hugged her mother directly, and shouted "Mom, the person in blue appeared again, and that time they took Dad away, Mom, Mom." ”
And the girl's mother looked at Andre and a few people didn't dare to say much, hurriedly took out the key and picked up the little girl with amazing strength, and then closed the door at lightning speed, looking at this scene Andrei was very embarrassed, which is already a heartfelt fear for many people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there is no need to demonize it, because in everyone's eyes, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is synonymous with the devil!
For this, Andrei can't do anything, after all, although the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be said to have a transcendent status as the general secretary's personal guard, but the internal affairs forces that were the executors of the Great Purge can be said to have offended all the people who can be offended, if it weren't for Stalin's trust and Beria scenery now, I don't know how many people hate the Ministry of Internal Affairs so much that they can't wait to eat its flesh and sleep on its skin!
Andrei is also very helpless now, and knocked on the door, there was no one inside, Andrei decided to wait for a while, and after waiting for an hour, Andrei finally waited for someone, Popov's parents came back, and not only the two of them but also a girl with them should be Popov's sister, when the group came to the door, saw Andrei They were also as quiet as a cicada, and they didn't speak directly, and Andrei saw that it was an embarrassing situation, so he decided to take the initiative to speak, he took out his ID and said: " It's Mr. Popov, I'm Major Andrei of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”
Before Andrei finished speaking, the old Popov fainted directly, his wife hugged her husband directly, and the daughter also looked at Andrei with a resolute face, and said in a sad voice: "This day is still coming, right?" Can I say a few more words to my father? "There are too many such things in her memory, many people living in this compound in those years are one day, after someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to knock on the door and got into a black car, they never came back, I heard that some people have been shot, and some have been sent to I don't know where there is not even a letter, it is directly the evaporation of the world!
