Chapter Eighty-Eight: Joy
Leningrad, a city named after the great red leader! This is one of the major cities of the Soviet Union, located in the northwest of Russia, on the coast of the Baltic Sea, at the mouth of the Neva River, and is also the central city of the Northwest of the Soviet Union, an important water and land transportation hub of the Soviet Union. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć INFO The city was founded in 1703 and has been an important city ever since, and is now a large industrial complex in the Soviet Union.
And a few decades ago, the October Revolution also began here!
Unfortunately, in later generations, the city changed back to its original name, St. Petersburg, and at the same time, it also represented the end of a great era. Thinking of this, Andre was very emotional in his heart.
Fortunately, the distance from Moscow to Leningrad is only more than 600 kilometers, and the train will arrive in eight hours.
"Ivan, come on, we're getting off!" When the train rolled into the station with black smoke (coal-fired heating), little Ivan was still bouncing and reluctant to wear an overcoat.
At this time, Andrei and Catherine were already dressed neatly, a white leather coat was worn on Catherina's body, and she suddenly looked extremely noble and elegant, which was bought in a Moscow department store before departure, and it cost Andrei a whole month's salary, and it hurt a little at the time, but now, seeing Ekaterina so beautiful, Andrei suddenly felt that it was worth it, a woman is a person who pleases herself, her wife is beautiful, and she also has face!
When Ivan was dressed in an overcoat, the three of them went out together, and on the platform, there was already a pair of middle-aged men and women waiting there.
Andrei's father, Vladimir Nikolayevich Tolstoy, and Andrei's mother, Lyudmila, were at this time watching their son and leading his daughter-in-law out of the car.
Since Andrei went to the aviation school, he has hardly been back, the army is too busy, and now, his son is back, and he has brought back a beautiful daughter-in-law! Looking at Catherine, who got out of the car in white, old Vladimir grinned, not caring at all that the cold wind was pouring into his mouth.
Wait, why is there another child? What's going on? Not married yet, and the children are so old? Andrei's mother, Lyudmila, froze for a moment.
"Mom, Dad, you're all here, I'll introduce you, this is Catherine, who is now working in the Moscow Central Hospital." When Andrei saw the two, he hurriedly said.
Seeing that his father did not speak, and his mother's eyes were also looking at the little kid who was watching left and right, Andrei hurriedly said: "This is Ivan, and Catherine is his godmother." ā
It turned out to be a godmother! Hearing this, the two were relieved: "Catherina, you are so beautiful. Lyudmila said: "It's cold outside, let's go, let's get out of the station quickly." ā
Outside, they got into a Moskva car, and the group drove out of the train station.
Andrei held Catherina's hand, which was already a little red from the cold, and little Ivan, as if he was not afraid of the cold, lay on the glass as soon as he got into the car, looking outside.
"Are we going to the suburbs?" Little Ivan couldn't help but ask as he watched the buildings in the city gradually move away.
"Yes." Andrei's father, who drove the car, said: "We went to the suburb of the town of Bor, where there are beautiful windmills and big factories. ā
After Andrei's father came to the Leningrad power station, he did not live in the city of Leningrad, the factory area is seventy kilometers away, and it is a little far home, so he lived in the town of Bor, which is near the power station, anyway, Andrei's mother is a housewife, and wherever Vladimir goes, she follows.
"Okay, great!" As soon as little Ivan heard that there was a windmill, he was immediately very happy and clapped his hands and cheered.
Leaving the city and driving onto the road outside, you can see the surrounding vast fields, the river has not yet frozen, and the river is flowing, moistening the East European Plain here. Everywhere there was a peaceful field scene, and the windmills in the distance were turning with the wind.
The houses in the suburbs are very large, and in a courtyard, Andrei's father stopped the car: "It's here." This is our new home. Ekaterina, I have wronged you. ā
"No, it's good here." "I also like this kind of rural life. ā
Andrey took Catherine's hand, got out of the car, and took little Ivan with him into the room, where the fireplace was burning vigorously, and the whole room was very warm.
The power plants were built only a few years ago, and after they were built, they can effectively alleviate the power shortage in the northwest, and they are the most advanced nuclear power plants in the Soviet Union.
Although living conditions in Kiev were better, Vladimir, an old Bolshevik, when he heard about the shortage of skilled workers here, volunteered to come here and continue to make his contribution to the cause of socialism.
He was most concerned about his son, in addition to work, and when he learned that his son had become a Hero of the Soviet Union, he was proud of his son, and now, his son was getting married, which filled his heart with joy.
The family is happy.

Baltic Sea.
This is the inland sea of northern Europe, the marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean, and the dependent sea of the Atlantic Ocean, between Scandinavia and the European continent. The Baltic Sea is almost surrounded by land on all sides, and the entire sea surface is between Sweden, the Soviet Union, Denmark, and Germany. Due to the fact that the north is almost close to the Arctic Circle, part of the sea is frozen in the cold winter.
During the current Cold War, the Baltic Sea has always been a dark wave, and it is also one of the key areas of confrontation between the Soviet Union and NATO, where the Soviet Union has one of the four powerful naval fleets, the Baltic Fleet, once the East and West go to war, the Baltic Fleet needs to start from here, hold the sea, and form a deterrent to Britain.
At this time, on the sea, a large warship was sailing.
The long-bow ship type has a slender bow and obvious drift above the waterline. This type of warship is very different from the previous Soviet warships, more like the later modern and dreadnought class ship types, such a design can effectively prevent deck surges, and minimize the resistance of the bow of the ship. The hull has a folded line angle, the bow freeboard is high, and the rear bridge, chimney and other superstructures are very low and wide, which lowers the center of gravity of the whole ship, and is conducive to reducing the wind resistance of the superstructure and the ship's bomb surface.
The entire warship appears to be in one go from head to tail, and is divided into the front armed area, the front bridge, the transition section building, the chimney, the rear armed area, and the sonar facilities. The overall is compact and concise, and the deck is relatively clean and tidy, without any superfluous furnishings. This kind of warship is the newest large anti-submarine ship of the Soviet Union Project 1135!
