Chapter 68: Arrival in Nizhny Tagil

It took the comrades of the Taoist class half a day to solve the big tree, and it was already midnight. www.biquge.info It is very dangerous to drive at night in the Ural Mountains, and the lower Tagil side has also received a call from the Daoban side, and Lin Jun and the three simply stayed in the barracks of the Daoban for one night.

There is a small episode: Lin Jun's "gift" to Yancrov and Pilega is only half left, because the frozen pig is not easy to peel, and it can't go all at once. As soon as Yancrov and Lin Jun discussed, they simply disemboweled, washed and cleaned this guy at the station of the Daoban. borrowed other people's places and tools, and asked the comrades of the Taoist class to work, and they were embarrassed and embarrassed, so they cut off half of it and gave the comrades more food.

The "generosity" of the higher-level comrades made the comrades of the Taoist class full of enthusiasm, and the work that was supposed to be completed until dawn the next day was completed several hours ahead of schedule under the "stimulation" of dozens of catties of wild boar.

In the middle of the night, the people returned to the barracks and gathered around to eat the freshly stewed wild boar, all of them smiling although they were tired.

As is true everywhere in the world, life in the Taoist class can be ranked in the top 10 of all types of work. Their working environment is often far from the settlement, there is no much entertainment, the daily routine is monotonous, and the food is not very good. The "generosity" of the comrades who passed by here this time made the comrades here a rare tooth sacrifice.

"How long will it take for the logistics car to come?" Lin Jun asked a "bearded man" next to him.

The bearded man is in his 40s and looks very old, which is caused by the living environment. Now he is eating meat in large chunks, "I usually come once every half a month, but if there are some special circumstances, it is not good not to say, Comrade Colonel." He muttered, "Why don't you eat it, it tastes good." ”

"Hehe, I've eaten enough just now."

Lin Jun could only say that, he really couldn't eat it. This wild boar has a smell of sass, it needs to be burned with a lot of condiments to make a heavy taste to be delicious, of course there is no such condition here, but it is with salt and solid soy sauce (the Soviet Union also has soy sauce, this is not a Chinese specialty, and solid soy sauce is easy to store, many friends should not have seen it, now it has been eliminated, hehe) stewed and cooked, the taste is really not like this.

Lin Jundu felt that he had become "delicate" during this time, every day was delicious and delicious, if he was in the siege of Madrid, it was estimated that he would be able to eat a pork leg in this pot in one meal.

"Comrade Colonel, can you tell us about you in Spain?" It's still the bearded man who asked.

How could they recognize Lin Jun? In fact, the reason is very simple: a newspaper with a large photo of Lin Jun was pasted on the wall of the Taoist office as wallpaper, so the comrades here recognized who Lin Jun was at the first sight.

I couldn't sleep anyway, so a group of people gathered around to listen to Lin Jun's battle story. When they heard the glorious battle of 8-76 of Lin Jun's troops, everyone applauded and felt sorry for the comrades who sacrificed, and when Lin Jun said that he was shot down, there were still a few companies that said "so dangerous", so dangerous! . In the end, Lin Jun said about the white-knuckle battle in the "university town", and the comrades felt as if they were in that tragic battle, and even a few younger ones unconsciously clenched their fists.

Just like at the Stalingrad Military Academy of Mechanization and Motorization, everyone in the room was impressed by Lin Jun's "story".

"Comrade Andrei, how many of your enemies' heads did you chop off?" A young man asked.

"I cut nine of them, I didn't count how many heads I cut off, hehe."

"Hehe, you're amazing!"

"It's not amazing, it's like this on the battlefield, either you die or I die, if you are there, you may destroy more enemies than me. There was a Chinese comrade named Gang-Wang who cut down 13 enemies that time, and he didn't leave any injuries, that's what is called terrible!" Lin Jun said.

"I don't know what happened to Wang Gang and Lao Xie?" He thought.

、、、、、、

Early the next morning, Lin Jun and the three of them said goodbye to the comrades of the Taoist class and continued to hurry.

"Yankrov, after returning to the state, I want to reflect to the committee and try to make the life of these comrades in difficult posts as good as possible, just say that I said it."

"Yes, Comrade Andrei, I will react, the comrades here are really too hard."

"In fact, it can only be improved to a limited extent, and now that the Soviets are still in the construction stage, there are many such difficult posts, and it is impossible to completely change them. For those of us who live comfortably in the cities, there are always some good comrades who serve in remote and difficult areas. Lin Jun could only sigh like this.

He knew very well that the Soviet Union was so big, even after a few decades, there was still a need for someone to do the difficult positions, and this situation could not be satisfactorily solved by any country with a vast territory, because this was simply something that could not be completely solved. In the Soviet Union, there were many more difficult areas than here, such as in the Yakutia Autonomous Republic, where it was not uncommon to drive for half a day without seeing a single settlement.

At noon on February 23, Lin Jun finally arrived at Nizhny Tagil, the future world's first tank manufacturing center. In 1937, it was already a Soviet railway hub, and its easy access to railways, the abundance of iron, copper, gold and platinum group metals in the Kachcan Mountains, 106 kilometres north of the city, and direct natural gas pipelines from the Tyumen region in the east, made it difficult not to become a center of heavy industry.

Yankrov and Pilega sent Lin Jun to the Nizhny Tagil People's Committee, and "handed him over" to the comrades of the Nizhny Tagil side in order to basically complete the task. Yankrov, Pilega and Lin Jun will not say goodbye immediately, because they are comrades from the Sverdlovsk region, and Nizhny Tagil is also under the jurisdiction of the Sverdlovsk region, so they will accompany Lin Jun until he returns to Moscow, and will not leave Nizhny Tagil and return to Sverdlovsk. (Of course, the three of them don't have to worry about the half-pulled pork, they are all frozen hard.) )

On the same day, Lin Jun visited the steel mill in Nizhny Tagil, and tomorrow he will "inspect" the non-ferrous metal refinery and the Ural Railway Wagon Factory, the largest enterprise in Nizhny Tagil.

The content of the evening meetings was the same as in the Chelyabinsk region and Sverdlovsk, and there was nothing special about it. At the beginning of the coordination meeting, the phone in the conference room rang, and the comrade who answered the phone told Lin Jun: "Comrade Andrei, I am looking for you, and I am calling from the Moscow Kremlin." ”

When Lin Jun picked up the phone and said that he was Andrei, the person on the other end said that Comrade Stalin wanted to talk to him.

Stalin told Lin Jun that he needed to return to Moscow after finishing his work, and not go to Leningrad for the time being, because Moscow had made some progress in the development of fighter jets, and Stalin also wanted to hear the "inspection summary" of his subordinates during this time.

"Yes, Comrade Stalin, I finish my work here as soon as possible and return to Moscow as soon as possible."

When the comrades in the conference room heard Lin Jun's words: "Hello, Comrade Stalin. Everyone stood up, but not one sitting. Because any conversation with Stalin was classified as a Level 2 secret, they were in a somewhat awkward position now, and they all quietly walked out of the conference room under Lin Jun's gesture of "Excuse me, everyone go out and wait".

"Comrades, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long." Lin Jun, who walked to the aisle after answering the phone, said.

Of course, the answers to him were "yes" and "this is discipline, you don't have to be polite".

"Comrade Stalin asked me to return to Moscow as soon as possible to report on the inspection work, and he attached great importance to the situation here." Speaking of Stalin's orders, Lin Jun's tone became serious again.

This unexpected phone call made the comrades in Nizhny Tagil feel the importance of this Comrade Andrei even more, and there were only a few "inspectors" who could make Stalin call to inquire and "urge", which also made Lin Jun unconsciously add a heavy weight to everything he said at the meeting.
