Chapter 133: A New Duty

January 5, 1938, Soviet Hotel, Almaty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In the info compound, Lin Jun stood alone, looking at the east, the snow fluttering between the sky and the earth, as if he was integrated into this white world, feeling the coldness of the flying snow on his face.

"Andrey, it's time to go."

Approaching Andlupff held up a large umbrella, "Still thinking about China?" ”

"It's okay, it's all over, and now our battlefield will be the West. Let's go, go to the station. ”

Lin Jun is thinking about China, thinking about everything there, but since he is Andre, he can only take the current road, time can never be repeated, life cannot be chosen, if you can't understand this, this life will be in vain.

The USSR in winter was not suitable for long flights by airplane, and the return trip to Moscow was only possible by train. Sergeant Major Andlupv, Vukinskaya, Landskotka, Fekochinov, Prokofiev, and Vasily returned to Moscow with Lin Jun, who would go wherever Lin Jun went, and Prokofiev would return to Moscow to receive the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union". Sergei parted ways with the others in Lanzhou, and he went to the Far East via Ulaanbaatar to serve as the commander of the late fighter aviation regiment.

The long journey back is a very boring wait, except for chatting and talking about the latest developments in European countries, and reading the newspapers from all over the world that are delivered to the train every day has become the best pastime for everyone.

In the early morning of January 10, the train arrived in Ryazan, 196 kilometers from Moscow, and Lin Jun was able to return to Moscow at noon. Vukinskaya, who got up early, began to prepare for Lin Jun to wear clothes to meet Stalin, and the most important one was the medal on his military uniform.

"Andrey, will the medals awarded by the Chinese government also be hung up?" The wife, who was seriously preparing a medal for her husband's military uniform, asked.

"Put them all on." Lin Jun, who had just been freshening up, said after hearing his wife's words.

"Maybe I won't wear them again in my life except today." He thought.

The "they" he was referring to were the medals given to him by Lao Chiang, including the "Blue Sky and White Sun" medal he received when he was in Nanjing, and the "Guoguang" medal that was reissued to him when he resigned to the ****** on Lushan Mountain. Lao Jiang showed a very good understanding of Lin Jun's return to Moscow: knowing that he couldn't keep it, he would simply behave more understandingly. When he was in Nanjing, Lao Jiang, who said that he would award the "National Glory" medal to several pilots of the air force, took it with him, and there was a small episode when it was awarded: ****** urgently summoned Liu Cuigang from Nanchang to Lushan.

In this way, Liu Cuigang became the first person in history to receive the "Order of National Glory", and Lin Jun, Andlupf, and Prokofiev became the second to fourth people to receive the medal - Lao Jiang did what he said, fortunately, he still had a Liu Cui in hand who was just qualified to receive this latest highest medal, otherwise if the first person to receive the "National Glory Medal" was a foreigner, it would be really disgraceful to ******.

Even the "Order of National Glory" was awarded to Lin Jun and the three of them at once, and the other Lao Jiang was not stingy, as long as the various medals were accompanied by Lin Jun back to Moscow, they all had a share: Vuginskaya, Fekochinov and Landeskozy were all awarded the Order of the Special Yunlu of the Fourth Class (because the medal was awarded to foreigners with the word "special"). ); Lin Jun was to bring back a fourth-class medal and a sixth-class special medal, and he gave it to Snornik, who had not returned to Moscow, and Sergeant Major Vasily, who was at the airport. Lao Jiang had long heard that there was a one-armed chief mechanic in the China Aid Air Force who was very good at business, and Lao Jiang had also seen Vasily at the airport, and Qian Dajun also told him: If it weren't for this sergeant major's modification of the plane, so many people would not have been able to evacuate from the air together -- this Qian Dajun can also be regarded as a reciprocated favor, who asked Lin Jun to help him evacuate many of his henchmen, and many of those forty people are Qian Dajun's relatives.

、、、、、、

As soon as the group entered Stalin's office, they were greeted with a warm welcome - important Soviet figures in Moscow were present.

"Good Andrey, doing a great job in China!" Stalin patted Lin Jun on the shoulder rarely, you must know that Stalin rarely even shook hands with people.

"Comrade Stalin, everything is in the service of the Soviets." Lin Jun said after saluting.

"We all know your situation in China, and the air force has done a very good job of the tasks assigned to you by the Soviets. Sinking Japanese aircraft carriers and cruisers, wiping out one-fifth of the Japanese air force with a limited number of fighters, and bombing a Japanese base on the island of Taiwan in a record, good! It's really good! ”

Stalin looked pleased, and everyone on the side was smiling. He was right, because at that time, Japan only produced more than 1,500 combat aircraft, and the air force really reimbursed one-fifth of the Japanese army's air power, and Japan's latest 96 ship battles and 96 land attacks were basically lost.

After talking to Lin Jun, Stalin also praised the exploits of others, especially Prokofiev and Andlupf: one made a total of 27 combat sorties, shot down 8 Japanese planes in a single sortie, shot down 11 in one day, shot down 13 Japanese planes during his entire stay in China, and was the first pilot in the world to drop a bomb and hit an aircraft carrier; One shot down five Japanese planes in one sortie, eight Japanese planes in one day, and did a very good job as a commander -- these are all proud feats that ordinary pilots and commanders cannot achieve.

"Andrey, I think that ****** in China is not stingy with you, and even gave you their highest medal."

Stalin had already learned that several people had been awarded the Order of National Glory, and now he had seen with his own eyes the extra medals on the chests of several people.

"Let's go, go to the auditorium, it's time to honor the heroes!" Stalin took the lead out of his office.

Lin Jun's second title of Hero of the Soviet Union has not yet been officially awarded, and Prokofiev will also become a Hero of the Soviet Union. And before arriving in the Kremlin, everyone had already learned that everyone else who returned with Lin Jun would be awarded the Order of the Red Banner, even Snornik, who had returned earlier, was also on the list.

All the medals were awarded by Comrade Kalinin, Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, and after Lin Jun was awarded, he suddenly discovered a very big problem: he was not only the first person in the Soviet Union to receive the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union" twice, but also probably the only person who "had an extra copy" of the large certificate of Hero of the Soviet Union - he already had two copies of the Hero of the Soviet Union at home, and the description of his merits in this award certificate was all those obtained in China and the Far East, and there was no record of any merit that was the same as when the title was secretly awarded last time.

"I don't understand, I don't understand!"

、、、、、、

That night, a grand banquet was held for the heroes in the Kremlin banquet hall, and after the banquet, Lin Jun unsurprisingly had a long conversation with Stalin.

The content is nothing special, it is a separate report to Stalin on the situation in China, and Lin Jun's personal views on the strategy of the East. When Lin Jun got home, it was already midnight.

"Andrey, what new arrangements does Comrade Stalin have for your work?" Vuginskaya knew that Andrupev would be the deputy commander of the aviation forces in Moscow, so to speak, the status was a heaven, and the husband did not know what new positions would be.

"It's still the same, stay in Moscow and be a member of the Military Council, but in the future I will be exhausted, and Comrade Stalin asked me to take charge of the work of the General Armament Department of the Red Army."

Stalin's appointment has some meaning: he is not the head or political commissar of the General Armament Department, but he is in charge of the development and production of all new equipment, which means that Lin Jun is not mainly in command of the troops, but once again becomes the "chief foreman" of the Soviet Red Army, and he can intervene in every place.

He has a lot of power, and he can deal with all the top leaders of the Red Army, and he has considerable power to restrain all military districts -- if Lao Tzu doesn't give you new equipment, you bite me?!

People will not come to bite him, even if you don't look at Stalin's face, you have to look at Alexander's meaning, but this also determines that Lin Jun will be a super busy man for a long time: it is impossible for those who are in charge of new equipment to stay in the office and do a good job like the head of the General Armament Department, and this Soviet land is Lin Jun's super office.

"I was given a week's vacation, and in a week we were going to Naberezhny Yecherny in the Tatar Autonomous Republic. The day after tomorrow, let's take Lin Lin to see Uncle Ivan first. Do you have any other arrangements? ”

"I didn't want to move, so I stayed at home. By the way, Cherny seems to be your hometown. "There is nowhere to go on this cold day, and the fatigue caused by this long-distance trip also needs to be rested and recovered, but I don't understand that Lin Jun went to the hometown that he never mentioned.

"I was the first person to be awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union twice, and the new regulations stipulate that a bronze bust will be erected in my hometown, and now that it has been completed, it is waiting for me to unveil it."

He had never been to that hometown, and Lin Jun wanted to see the hometown of "Andre".

In fact, there are many things he needs to do for this seven-day vacation. 1938 was not a good year, and next year a world war could break out, and there was not much time left for the Soviet Union, knowing that next year the Soviet Union would probably go to war with three countries in three directions. Taking advantage of this opportunity, there is nothing else to do, he has to plan the next stage of work, and Alexander estimates that he will come to find himself alone tomorrow, and the work on his side will also be combined. The three retinues have also matured after this period of observation, and it is time to line them outside, and this must be taken care of by themselves.

"Not in his position, not in his politics." , I began to envy this sentence more and more: As my status rises higher and higher, the official becomes bigger and bigger, and the pressure on my shoulders is getting heavier and heavier.

"Navy, Aviation, Tanks, Artillery, Light Weapons--" The mind before going to bed is full of these terms.
