The city of Saratov, where the Suvorov Junior Military School is located. Yevgeny. Konstantinovich. Sbelski has been living in the city for more than half a year, and from being uncomfortable at the beginning to gradually integrating into the collective, he has adapted to the life of the military academy and is already somewhat comfortable with it.

The Suvorov Junior Military Academy is not a military academy in the true sense of the word, its main role is to give the descendants of military personnel and the orphans of martyrs a place to study and live, and only admits teenagers between the ages of 12 and 17. After graduating from the junior military academy, you will not get a military rank, and you will not be able to directly enter the army to serve, to put it bluntly, it is equivalent to a stepping stone, and you can apply for other regular military academies in the Soviet Union more conveniently.

If you really want to join the army and want to be an officer, it doesn't mean much to enter a junior military academy. Of course, it doesn't hurt if you go to a junior military school, because it's the same as you've already walked into the barracks with half a foot.

What's more, this military academy, which was established in 1934, had a very close relationship with the military in the early days, because most of the students were the descendants of middle and high-ranking officers or the orphans of martyrs. The Red Army was happy to open the back door to these themselves, and it was relatively easy for them to get into regular military academies.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that the atmosphere of xenophobia in the junior military academy is very strong, and it is not the descendants of soldiers or the orphans of martyrs, and life in this is a bit difficult.

For example, Yevgeny's early days were dark, he belonged to the rare species of the school, not only was he over the age limit (17 years old), but he was not a descendant of active military personnel and an orphan of martyrs, at that time. In the whole school, he belongs to the unique special existence zài.

It wasn't even the students who looked at Yevgeny with a different eye. Even the school's leadership has a problem with this. At one time, the vice-principal and the dean of education were strongly opposed to accepting Yevgeny as a freak, but this did not shake the will of the headmaster Vasily, who very forcefully suppressed these voices and allowed the alien Yevgeny to enter the school.

Speaking of Vasily, everyone is familiar with the former messenger of a certain immortal, and later the driver and life secretary. After a certain immortal entered the Politburo, because the work became more and more complicated. And Vasily was too honest, and if he continued to stay with a certain immortal, he might have hurt him. Therefore, Li Xiaofeng arranged for Vasily to be the principal of the junior military academy.

This position is high enough for the administrative level to be considered a department-level unit according to the Celestial Empire, and the actual work is not complicated, and the junior military academy does not have the complicated interpersonal relationship between the regular military academy and the local area, which is suitable for a simple and practical person like Vasily.

Anyway, Vasily himself was quite happy, and to be honest, since his boss entered the Politburo, he was quite unhappy in Moscow as the struggle became more and more intense and complicated. Able to get out of that whirlpool and deal with a group of relatively innocent children. He felt relaxed all of a sudden.

As the boss's former life secretary, Vasily naturally knew whose child Yevgeny was, and naturally had to take care of one or two. According to his original idea, the boss's own nephew is studying under him, not to mention taking care of him, how much he has to take care of it, right?

But what Vasily didn't expect was that the boss didn't allow him to take good care of Yevgeny, as long as he opened a back door on the issue of admission, the rest would be treated as if Yevgeny was the most ordinary member of the school.

This made Vasily very incomprehensible, thinking that his boss was too old-fashioned, and the nephew of a dignified Politburo member, what was it to go to the Junior Military Academy to study? Even if you have to pay attention to the so-called impact, it is not bad, right?

Li Xiaofeng smiled at this and said, "It is precisely because it is not bad that there is no need to care." ”

Vasily immediately couldn't understand, and later Yakov solved the riddle for him: "Comrade Andrei naturally doesn't have to care about the trivial matter of sesame mung beans, and the Politburo members take advantage of the public house is not enough for people to laugh at!" Besides, Comrade Andrei wanted to make that kid suffer a little and see the truest side of this society. ”

Yes, Li Xiaofeng still thinks this way, and he has come to a conclusion from his own personal experience: "The young man does not suffer hardship, and the old man is sad." ”

It's not a good thing that life as a teenager was too easy and comfortable. As the saying goes, there is no motivation without pressure, and it is hard to imagine that the boy who comes to the clothes to reach out and eat to open his mouth can be motivated. Of course, he didn't plan to train Yevgeny into any so-called pillars, he felt that with that kid's qualifications and family background, he didn't care whether he became a pillar or not. And the so-called pillars are just a special kind of hardship, and the pressure is too great.

Li Xiaofeng only hopes that Yevgeny can get in touch with the real society, understand a little bit of human suffering, and not really become a second ancestor or a gentleman in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to put him in the special place of the junior military academy and beat him.

Poor Yevgeny didn't know that he had fallen for his uncle's misdeeds. After entering the military academy, he was unaccompanied, and the lack of corresponding background was very special, and for a while, he was really worse than dead. Isolated from the circle of classmates, he didn't even have a friend who could talk, and the school leaders didn't like him, so you can imagine how difficult it was for him to live.

Even at one point Yevgeny himself retreated, feeling that his current life was even more terrible than being controlled by his money-worshipping mother. However, after the midterm exams, his situation began to change.

Why? Yevgeny's grades were quite good, ranking first in his grade. Of course, this is actually a bit of a victory, after all, the educational environment he started in was not comparable to the classmates around him. Military families, especially those who came from the revolutionary war in China, have a literate education that is only the case, and even a considerable number of middle-level officers are illiterate and expect the illiterate people to educate their children well. Hey, let's put it this way, the only way to teach a child a lesson when the Russian soldiers are drunk is a stick.

And Yevgeny received the best aristocratic education, and he went to college preparatory department as a child, and going to university was like playing, compared with the half-baked military school education, he was too much higher.

It's not just a big lead in cultural performance. It's also second to none in sports. Especially fencing, which has a strong aristocratic flavor. In this course, he can be said to be invincible in the world.

Anyway, after this midterm exam, Yevgeny was in the limelight again, and the young man inherited Konstantin's excellent genes, and he was beautiful and amazing. After proving the strength, it is not difficult to integrate into the collective.

After integrating into the new collective, Yevgeny did gain something, and he found that the classmates who had previously rejected his pride were actually a group of pitiful people. For example, the descendants of the so-called middle and senior officers, don't look at their fathers as regiment commanders, division commanders or army commanders. But family life is not particularly harmonious, and beating children is like a common meal, and if it doesn't like it, you will beat it up. Moreover, their living conditions are not particularly good, compared with the toiling masses, they can eat enough and dress warmly, and occasionally open foreign meat to enjoy the life of the so-called foreign bourgeoisie, more often than not, they are ordinary and ordinary.

Even Yevgeny was embarrassed to talk about his family, let alone his way of life, when most of the children of "high-ranking officials" could only eat meat every once in a while, and wore clothes remodeled from their father's old military uniform. Yevgeny owned his own car. The clothes in the wardrobe are all high-end custom-made, and even a set of clothes is only worn once. As for what is eaten and drunk. It was even more of a luxury that was unimaginable to the surrounding turtle classmates. Anyway, compared to these turtle classmates, Yevgeny felt that he was too extravagant, and that he was simply a damned bourgeoisie, and should be dragged out and executed.

However, Yevgeny did not dislike these little friends, but thought they were very cute, they were more innocent, more righteous, and more sincere than Yevgeny's previous friends. There is no need to pretend to communicate with them, you can say whatever you want, and even foul language is not taboo at all.

Anyway, after getting acquainted, Yevgeny felt that such a life was very comfortable. Yes, it's free, as if you've put down your shackles. In this relaxed atmosphere, the semester ended before I knew it, and when the final exams were over, and Yevgeny was reluctantly preparing to say goodbye to his new friend and return to his home, which he did not want to go back to, an unexpected situation happened.

"Students, I regret to inform you that your vacation has been canceled." Vasily's expression was a little gloomy, as if something bad had happened, "According to the instructions of the Military Commission and the General Staff, you must stay in the school and start your life for the new semester immediately. In addition, students who have reached the age of 18 can apply for military schools in advance......"

To be honest, Yevgeny didn't think it was bad news at all, it was good news for him, and he really didn't want to go home and listen to the money-worshipping mother. However, when he returned to the dormitory, more friends were discussing the issue of applying for military school.

"The last time I went home, I heard my dad say that we might be going to war with Germany, so the military academy needs to expand!" The eldest son of the commander of a certain army, who was very well-informed, said in a conspicuous manner.

Don't look at the children of the military academy are simple, but showing off and showing off everywhere are unavoidable, and soon another son, who is said to be the head of a certain section of the General Political Department, Korzhakov, crossed his legs and said: "What is this, my father said, war will inevitably break out this year." For this, he was so busy that he didn't have time to go home. ”

War. The word used to be a bit distant from Yevgeny, and when he returned to Moscow on the last October Revolution Day, he seemed to have heard the well-informed uncle say: "By June 1941 at the latest, war will inevitably break out." ”

At that time, he thought that the uncle who was very undisciplined was scaring him to play, but who would have thought that it seemed that the storm was coming?

While Yevgeny was thinking nonsense, his friends shouted:

"I signed up for the Armored Forces Command College this afternoon, I have long wanted to drive a tank to fight the German devils!" Korzhakov said.

Kombarov crossed Erlang's legs and said disdainfully: "What's the point of driving a tank." My father said that artillery is the god of war, the most powerful, and I went to the artillery command college. ”

Soon the teenagers had a gossip discussion, they wanted to do anything, and when the discussion reached the most intense, the teenagers simply rushed directly to the teaching building and enthusiastically signed up for the exam.

Yevgeny was also taken by this stream of people to register, which in his opinion was not a big deal, and he felt that it would be easy to get into any military school with his grades. But he soon found out that things were not so simple, the same night that his registration form was handed in. He was invited to the office by the headmaster, Vasily.

"Cadet Evgeny. Konstantinovich. Sbelsky was ordered to report for duty! ”

Yevgeny saluted with a straight look. It's like that. But looking at his immature face, Vasily had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Cadet Yevgeny, do you sign up for the Armored Forces Command Academy?" Vasily asked, holding a form.

"Yes, Headmaster, I volunteered to be a qualified commander of the armored corps of the Red Army!"

Vasily looked at the serious Yevgeny, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, as a former secretary to the Politburo, he still has the most basic information skills. Vasily knew very well that the war would inevitably break out, and this round of expansion of military schools was a signal, if nothing else, this batch of cadets would be fast, and at most two years of training would have to replace the losses of the front line and enter the battlefield.

Having witnessed the First World War and the Revolutionary War at home, he naturally knew very well what the fate of these inexperienced young officers would be. To be honest, he really didn't want to watch this kid who grew up lose his life on the battlefield.

After a short silence, Vasily asked: "Yevgeny." Does your uncle know your choice? ”

Yevgeny was actually a bit of a young man's naivety, and he thought it was entirely his own business. What does it have to do with his uncle?

Vasily replied with a smile: "Yevgeny, your uncle has given you to me. Such a heavy choice is not child's play, you should discuss it with your family first and then make a decision. ”

Seeing that Yevgeny was a little unconvinced, Vasily reminded again: "Otherwise, I can't approve your registration form, and even if I do, your uncle can easily call it back." So, you better contact the family first! ”

Yevgeny walked out of the office sullenly, and he did not understand why his own fate had to be arranged by others, and what was the reason! So much so that when he returned to the dormitory, he seemed very depressed.

The gossip friend asked: "Evgeny, what's wrong with you?" Lost in love? ”

Yevgeny shook the registration form in his hand and said in frustration: "The principal did not agree with my registration. ”

Konbarov was stunned and asked, "Why?" ”

"He wanted me to get my family's consent first."

Konbarov asked again: "Why, your parents are not willing to let you join the army?" ”

Yevgeny sighed: "Their opposition is a small matter, the main thing is that my uncle is having a hard time. ”

Korzhakov said nonchalantly: "What a simple thing, if it doesn't work, let my dad call your uncle, a matter of words!" ”

Yevgeny smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, my uncle is very difficult to convince!" ”

Korzhakov still didn't care so much, he pulled Yevgeny up with a big grin, and walked in the direction of the communication room, saying as he walked: "My father is from the General Political Department, and he is the best at doing ideological work...... Besides, Guan Rong joined the army, the party and the country have called on us to join the army to defend the motherland, how can your uncle drag his feet, his consciousness is too low, he should be educated well! Besides, if I just let my dad be the principal, I don't have to worry about your uncle! ”

Soon Korzhakov borrowed the phone from the communication room and dialed his father: "Dad, my classmate needs your help with this matter...... Yes, it's to apply for the military academy, not to let you open the back door, my brother is excellent in character and learning, the first in the whole grade, but the family doesn't agree with him to sign up, you just call our principal and ask him to agree to sign up...... Yes, it's that simple! ”

I have to say that Korzhakov is still a little clever, he is well versed in the reasoning of officialdom and is ready to put pressure on Vasily from top to bottom. But it turned out to be interesting. Soon his old man, who worked in the General Political Department, called, and scolded Korzhakov: "You little rabbit cub don't meddle in your affairs, it's not your turn to dictate the housework at home, study honestly at school, and don't do too much!" ”

This reprimand made Korzhakov is second monk confused, and he was a little angry on the phone, isn't it just a little help? As for it?

Later, when Korzhakov was admitted to the Command Academy of the Armored Forces and returned home to Moscow, he learned how big the Yevgeny classmate who had never talked about his family background was, and that his own uncle, who was not very ideologically conscious, was actually his immediate boss and a member of the Politburo, and the people who could do his ideological work could be counted on one hand in the entire Soviet Union.

Later, when Korzhakov met Yevgeny at the Armored Forces Command Academy, he scolded Yevgeny's classmates for pretending to be coercive, and pressed someone to treat someone in the most luxurious and expensive restaurant in Moscow to make amends.

So why did Li Xiaofeng agree with Yevgeny's choice? The reason is simple, war may be terrible for some people, but for a child with an immortal uncle, it is really nothing, at least it is not difficult to save his life. Besides, since Yevgeny has this desire, it would be good to go to the battlefield and exercise.

Of course, the practice of a certain immortal made Victoria furious, and she almost had to fight with a certain immortal, but this was not a problem for Li Xiaofeng, and it was settled in minutes. The real big thing for him was the war, and when the time entered April 1941, the atmosphere of the rain was about to come over the entire Soviet Union...... (To be continued......)
