In the history of the Soviet Army, there is a medal that best shows the seniority of a soldier, although it is not as dazzling as the Golden Star Medal and not as brilliant as the Order of Victory, but it is a representative of the seniority of the old soldier. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 There are not many people in the Soviet army who own it, and when it is worn, it is always at the top of the medal ranks, except for the Golden Star Medal, which surpasses any other medals and medals, and even many people wear it before the Order of the Red Banner, because it is the medal "20th Anniversary of the Founding of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army" established on January 24, 1938 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Red Army and the Red Navy.

This medal differed from the later anniversary medals of the army in that it was awarded under very strict conditions: it was awarded to key commanders and supervisors who had served in the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and the Red Navy until January 24, 1938, and not less than 20 years of service until February 23, 1938, to those who had participated in the Civil War and other battles for the defense of the freedom and independence of the Soviet Fatherland, and to those who had been awarded the Order of the Red Banner - so it was the best proof of seniority for the commanders and fighters of the Soviet Red Army and the Red Navy. This is the glory that belongs to the old Red Army.

The Soviet Union held perhaps the largest military parade of any country in the world, with a grand parade on Red Square every year on May Day and October Revolution, and similar parades in the capitals of the union republics at the same time. But this year there were not two, but three full parades on Red Square.

Some people say that military parades will waste a lot of national resources, and Lin Jun will have the same idea before, but when the reality of the Soviet Union is really understood, this idea completely does not exist: when an activity becomes a routine, everything will fall into place, and there will be no waste at all, at most, it will burn more fuel and increase the loss of equipment, and the Soviet Union does not care about these two things at all, it has enough oil fields and equipment, and compared with the effect that the parade can bring, the consumption of this resource is simply negligible.

As in previous military parades, Lin Jun appeared on the rostrum of the review in front of Lenin's tomb, standing behind Stalin: if he had returned to Moscow from China a few days earlier, he would not have been in this position - Alexander told him that Stalin had originally intended to give him greater honor: that Lin Jun should be the commander-in-chief of the parade unit for the "20th anniversary of the founding of the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and the Red Navy." It's just that Lin Jun's schedule was too hasty, so he didn't let him report to Marshal Budyonny on a horse with a saber on his waist at the parade.

After learning the news, Lin Jun popped up: "It seems that I have to practice riding." ”

No one knows that Lin Jun only rode a horse a few times when he traveled in his previous life, or the kind that wandered slowly, no way, as a Jiangnan person, it is rare to see a horse - to put it bluntly, he doesn't know how to ride a horse at all, and he is even a little afraid of riding a horse. The best Budyonny cavalry horses used in this parade (an excellent breed of military horses bred in the Soviet Union, with strong endurance and endurance, tall and strong body. His scalp tingled a little when he looked at it—the black "flames" under Marshal Budyonny's crotch were more than 1.7 meters tall at the shoulders, and his temperament was like that of a violent lion, and no one dared to approach it.

Of course, everyone has secrets, and Lin Jun must not let the fact that he can't ride a horse become a laughing stock for others: "I must become a qualified cavalryman!" ”

In the eyes of Stalin and the rest of the Soviets, Andrei was an all-powerful hero, and a good Russian lad could not ride a horse ?! It would be better to tell them that Andrei is an alien and that it is easy to be accepted

On the way home yesterday, Lin Jun asked Landscoch: "How are your riding skills?" ”

"Chief, I'm the best Cossack!" Lin Jun's questioning was simply an "insult" to him, and of course Landscoch was just habitually expressing his proud status.

"There is no place near Moscow that can be connected with riding, I want to practice it when I have time." Lin Jun tried his best to make his tone seem natural.

But Landscoc is not a stupid person, he is the best "Cheka", how could he not hear the Tao in Lin Jun's words.

"Huh?! Comrade Andrey doesn't know how to ride a horse ?! He reacted immediately, although this "fact" was difficult for people to accept, but Landscoch's excellent psychological endurance made him hold back and not shout: "No wonder I have never seen Comrade Andrei ride a horse, and I thought he didn't like it." This matter must not be known to others, otherwise it will affect the reputation of the chief. ”

It's just that the others don't include Fekochinov and Snornick for the time being, because they are also in the car, and judging from their performance, they have already sensed this serious problem.

Having made up his mind, Landskoch spoke: "Chief, there are several places in Moscow where equestrianism is practiced, but it is difficult to find good military horses, many excellent military horse farms are in Ukraine and Siberia, but the Central Military Horse Research Institute in the east of Moscow should have good horses." From the point of view of secrecy, the best way for you to practice riding is to go to the Central Military Horse Research Institute, where not only does the secrecy work well done, but there are also many horses, but you may need to say hello to Comrade Budyonny if you want good horses there. I, Fekochinov and Snornik can all be your riding instructors, ensuring that you will become a decent rider in a short time. ”

This knight is not the same as a cavalryman, Landscoch is hinting to Lin Jun: "It's not a problem to fill the façade, and ordinary people can't see it, but it's impossible to become a real cavalryman." But no matter what, Lin Jun is already very satisfied to be able to hold up the façade.

Lin Jun knew that what he said was reasonable, no matter what, he couldn't let the idle people and others see the dignified comrades of the military committee falling off their horses, and to ensure this, they could only go to the hippodrome under the military management, and use military means to do the most severe gag order: there are three "Chekas" here, and the comrades in the military horse farm don't care to say anything even if they eat the courage of the ambitious leopard, or they can only say that they saw Comrade Andrei "galloping on horseback" on the snowfield!

The other two guys in the car had already figured out how to "threaten" the comrades in the military horse farm: "It is only to say that Comrade Andrei came here to practice riding skills that have been pulled down for many years, and if other leaders ask for details, they will say that Comrade Andrei is as agile and outstanding as a Cossack!" If you dare to say anything else, no matter what position you are in now, I guarantee that you will be a groom in a Siberian labor camp on this day next year! ”

Compared with the military parades in previous years, the weapons and equipment displayed in this military parade are still the same old, and there has not been much change, and of course everyone on the rostrum has tacitly acknowledged: It is not yet time to take out good things. Historically, until the October Revolution parade in 1940, the T-28 and T-35 were the main force of the Soviet army's tank armament, plus a staggering number of T26 and BT-7 - these tanks are still the most advanced in the world.

I have to admire the organizers of the parade, even the brand-new T-35 found 16 vehicles to prop up the façade: to be honest, the visual impact of these huge guys is still very strong, and the conclusion can be drawn from the reactions of the representatives of various countries on the viewing platforms on both sides - what a shock the powerful armored assault force of the Soviet army brought to them!

Other countries do not think that the big guy with multiple turrets is outdated, because it has not been tested in real combat, and the Soviets already have a cross-era tank: now the T-34 is being produced on the production line in Kharkov, it is not yet time for the world to know, and there is an even more intimidating guy in the trial workshop of the Leningrad Kirov plant that has been assembled.

Lin Jun was very satisfied with the effect of the military parade: he would be surprised if he didn't understand, and good things were equipped for the coming war, not as they did in the Cold War decades later. Different times do different things, just to keep you in the dark and not know.

After the parade, all the senior generals of the Soviet army who participated in the parade gathered in the Kremlin hall for the award ceremony of the "Medal for the 20th Anniversary of the Founding of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army."

Kalinin, Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, personally presented the medals to the three marshals who are now in Moscow, Voroshilov, the Deputy People's Commissar of Defense of the USSR, Yegorov, Chief of the General Staff of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and Budyonny, the Cavalry Director of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Since the awards were awarded in the order of military ranks, Lin Jun, a division-level commander and a member of the Military Committee, had to wait. Of course, there were several commanders with high positions but low ranks, and the most obvious representative of this was Alexander, the NKVD who was only ahead of Lin Jun, and behind Lin Jun was Andlupf, the deputy commander of the Moscow Special Military District, who was only a divisional commander.

Those who can receive honors in the Kremlin are very important figures, and there are many military commanders, such as Marshal Blyukher, who can only hang their own medals in a few days because they are not in Moscow. And the vast majority of servicemen who will receive this medal will have to wait a few days, when the time will be awarded by the military director of his department.

The ceremony was followed by a customary banquet, and because of the relative particularity of this banquet, the banquet hall of the foreign envoys to the Soviet Union and the army of his own army was separated, and Lin Jun could only accompany the banquet in the back, instead of sitting next to Stalin as before. Everyone was elated, and sitting next to Lin Jun were Andlupf and Arkhipov.

Halfway through the meal, Arkhipov said to Lin Jun: "Andrey, will I award the medal to Vuginskaya?" ”

The party secretary of the Zhukov Academy also had a funny time, this Vuginskaya has already been awarded two Red Banner medals, so she will also receive the "Medal for the 20th Anniversary of the Founding of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army", and her organizational relationship is at the academy, of course, it should be awarded by Arkhipov, the party secretary and dean of the academy.

"Of course it's you, Comrade Dean!" Lin Jun glared at his big brother.

Several high-ranking officers who heard the conversation between the two laughed: Anyway, the people who will sit nearby are well-connected guys - the banquet is to arrange seats according to rank, but the people who arrange it still take into account some personal and business connections, for example, the officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are basically in their own group, and there are not many people who want to sit with them, so Arkhipov's joke is harmless here.

"Arkhipov, when will the new fighter arrive at the academy?" So as not to be embarrassed, Lin Jun pulled away from the topic. The people here are all heavyweights, and there is no problem of leaking secrets, not to mention that there are aviation generals nearby, and everyone knows about the development of new fighters.

"I guess it's going to be a while. By the way, when are you going to go to Factory 301? ”

"I'll go tomorrow, I have a test report on the new fighter in hand, and Comrade Voroshinov asked me to go to the site to test it."

"This is a good thing, and Comrade Lavochkin will definitely welcome it warmly. I went to see it some time ago, and it's a very good fighter, so good that you can think of it. ”

"I've heard, do you have time to go with us tomorrow?" Lin Jun asked the two brothers.

Arkhipov spread his hands, "I don't have time, tomorrow I have to award medals to the comrades in the academy." ”

"I'll go with you, I'll be fine tomorrow." Andlupf on one side spoke.

One of the biggest features of banquets in the Soviet Union is the mutual toast, especially now that such occasions are likely to fall on the spot. As a "low-level" commander, Lin Jun and the others naturally had to toast to the main leaders, and friends who had a good relationship with each other had to have a few drinks. Fortunately, Andrei drank a good amount of wine, and it was okay to drink two or three bottles of Georgian wine - fortunately in the Kremlin, and Stalin liked Georgian wine, and besides, if everyone came to vodka, it would be too embarrassing to drink a piece of general.

The members of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet could not miss a glass, and there were also a large number of commanders at the group army level, who also had to turn around -- Comrade Andrei took the initiative to toast, of course, he had to take a sip of it.

"Comrade Marshal, I wish you good health!" Lin Jun walked to Budyonny's side, and the two of them finished the wine glass in their hands in a bold sip.

"Comrade Marshal, I would like to ask you a favor for something."

As soon as he heard that Andrei still needed his own help, Budyonny felt as if the sun was coming out of the west: "Even if you say Comrade Andrei, as long as I can help, I must be unambiguous." ”

"I heard that the racecourse of the Central Military Horse Research Institute is very good, and I want to go there to practice riding, but it has been abandoned for many years, and I can't even step on the saddle if I don't ride anymore."

"Haha, no problem. There are a lot of good horses there, and there are good horses all over the world, so let's go together in a few days. "If you want to ride a horse, you can't go to Budyonny.

As soon as Lin Jun heard that he was going to go with him in person, it wasn't revealing anything! "I'll just go myself, and I'm not sure when."

As soon as he heard Lin Jun say this, Budyonny also knew that this Andre was a busy man, and he couldn't tell when he would have time, so he didn't insist: "When you go, just say that I said it." ”

It is clear that our cavalry commander is already a little drunk.

Regarding the conversation between the two people, the two marshals and Stalin and others on the side felt very strange: "It is said that the current slogan is from riding a horse to flying a plane, why does Comrade Andrei want to go from flying a plane to riding a horse?!" ”

"I guess it's stimulated." The person who thinks he knows the inside story thinks, "Andrei likes that he is the best at everything, but the commander-in-chief of the parade that was originally planned did not let him be." ”

And Stalin, who heard the conversation between the two, glanced at Alexander diagonally opposite, and he knew that it must be this Alexander who told Andrei "inside information".

"It's okay, let him be the commander-in-chief of the parade on May Day, it is estimated that Andrei's appearance of this kid wielding a war knife and Budyonny through the parade phalanx must be very dazzling." Stalin made this decision.

"Comrade Budyonny, Comrade Andrei is one of our best aviation commanders, now he wants to practice horsemanship, you can't be stingy, there are not many comrades in our army who can fly planes and wield sabers to command cavalry battles, don't find a few horses to deal with it."

Stalin was really a rare funny thing, but Lin Jun here knew that trouble was coming as soon as he heard it.

"Don't worry, I will definitely prepare the best war horse for Comrade Andrei, definitely no worse than my fire! The excellent horses in our cavalry units of the Red Army were enough for Comrade Andrei to choose. Budyonny was patting his chest and reassuring.

Lin Jun felt that his head was starting to get bigger, it seems that he can't handle it low-key this time, he really regrets not asking Budyonny for help in private, now it's not asking for trouble for himself!

At this time, Voroshinov on one side spoke: "I said Comrade Budyonny, now it is possible for our heroic fighter pilots to aspire to become an excellent cavalry commander, I wonder if our comrades of the First Cavalry of the Red Army have also thought about when to drive a fighter?" ”

Voroshinov's words shocked everyone, you must know that Lenin once praised Budyonny as "the most outstanding cavalry commander in the world", although everyone knows that this cavalry director can be funny at times, and now this occasion is also suitable for jokes, but only Voroshinov dares to make such jokes.

"Why haven't you thought about it? I also tried! …… But it didn't work, the saddle was installed on the fuselage of the aircraft, but the halter couldn't hold the engine. ”
