Arc of Gunfire

Wang Zhong continued to perform his duties: "Don't lose to the girls! Are there any more? Come on, boys!"

At this time, a group of people stood up. Wang Zhong saw that they were actually the Melania People's Army, and hurriedly asked them to come to the middle of the venue.

"Let's phantom Melania's..."

Wang Zhong hesitated. Calling brothers felt too warlord. Although calling comrades-in-arms was okay, it couldn't express the meaning of "although the nationalities are different, we work together."

After hesitating again and again, he felt that there was only one word that was most appropriate, and he said again: "Let's welcome Melania's Davarish!"

There is no better word than this. This word was originally called by the navy, and later it was extended to mean comrades-in-arms and people with common aspirations.

The same aspirations refer to overthrowing Prosen and liberating the fallen hometown.

Melania's people originally planned to perform directly, but when they heard Wang Zhong shout "Davarish", they stopped and looked at Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong: "Keep going, Dawasili, forward, Dawarisi!"

The Melanians looked at each other and immediately began their performance. The song they sang was in Melanian language, but Wang Zhong had heard the melody and knew it was Melanian's military song.

The Melanians danced a traditional dance to the accompaniment of the military song, which was a different flavor compared to the Ante people's dance that was against the knee joints.

Next, Wang Zhong, apart from occasionally taking the lead in making trouble and provoking the competition between the divisions and units, watched everyone show their talents at other times.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, the truck drove from the kitchen and directly lowered the railing of the truck bed, turning it into a huge dining table, revealing dishes in baskets and large basins.

An old lady with a huge spoon appeared and shouted to the girl dancing with the soldiers: "Don't waste time, come and share the food!"

The girls then said goodbye to the boys and ran to the truck.

Wang Zhong heard the auntie muttering: "You girls, you are wearing bags for carrying things! What will you use to carry your luggage in the future? That fierce quartermaster will be fierce to you again, and then you will come to me like little birds to seek justice!"

A girl shouted: "Auntie, Lieutenant General Rokossov said that he would give each of us new bags!"

The auntie looked at Wang Zhong with annoyance: "Lieutenant General, how could you do this? Do you know how precious flour bags are now? The best bags are in short supply everywhere. You have given hundreds of bags to the girls, but these bags should have been used to carry flour to feed your soldiers!

"You may lose the battle in the future if you do this!"

At this time, the atmosphere was very lively. When they heard that Lieutenant General Rokossov's command art was questioned by the auntie in the cafeteria, they immediately started to make a fuss.

In addition to the fuss, there were also young people who knew the auntie and asked: "Auntie Ilyinichna, do you know who he is?"

Auntie Ilyinichna: "Why don't you know? He is in the newspaper every day! Auntie, I can't read, but I can still read pictures! This is Lieutenant General Rokossov! "

The young soldier asked again: "Then do you know what he did?"

Auntie Ilyinichna: "Hey, he caught a lot of General Proson! What's the big deal? I have a hook for driving pigs, and I can catch a fat pig weighing dozens of kilograms. Can a general be heavier than a pig?"

Wang Zhong understood that this was an old farmer who had not read much.

So he asked: "Auntie, why are you cooking?"

"Because my child went to the war, the kind parish priest came to evacuate, and I said I was waiting for my child to come back, but he took out a 20-jin doctor's sausage and said, Ilyinichna, take this sausage, think about the benefits of the church, and leave quickly.

"Then I left. The sausage was really good! I wanted to take my cow with me, but the priest said no, you should get on the tractor and go, so I left the cow behind. I wonder if the people of Prosen fed my cow well!" The old lady said a lot, but she didn't say why she cooked. It seems that many old people are like this. They get off topic as they talk. Wang Zhong changed the subject: "What are we eating today?" "Today is the last day of the year. What else can we eat?" Aunt Ilynikina lifted the cloth covering the basket, revealing the dishes on the plate inside, "Fish jelly salad, I ordered one, it's delicious, come and give you one." As she said that, the old lady picked up a plate and stuffed it into a girl from the cooking team, so the girl trotted to Wang Zhong and smiled when she handed it to him. Wang Zhong's attention was all on the dish. This dish looked very similar to a kind of snack that Wang Zhong would eat for breakfast in his hometown, called thousand-layer cake. Anyway, this thing doesn't look like a salad at all. Looking from the side, it was divided into many layers. The top layer was red, followed by white close to fish soup, creamy yellow of some unknown kind, and pure yellow at the bottom.

He sniffed it closely and it smelled like herring.

Although Wang Zhong had eaten a lot of Ante specialty food, this kind of salad was the first time he had seen it.

So he cut a small piece with the edge of the fork and put it in his mouth.

Although it was food he had never seen before, Wang Zhong took a big bite out of the curiosity of the Seres people about eating.

Then he frowned. The red layer on the top was actually beetroot, yes, the beetroot used to color the beetroot soup. The fish soup in the middle was fish jelly with a lot of herring meat. This part tasted very good. Below was mayonnaise and cheese, and finally at the bottom was mashed potatoes.

The fish jelly and mashed potatoes both tasted good, and the taste of red cabbage was okay after I got used to it, but the mayonnaise and cheese in the middle were a bit weird.

This dish can only be rated as exotic.

Of course, for Ant people, this is probably the taste of hometown.

But Wang Zhong, with the intention of eating everything, took another bite.

It doesn't seem so weird anymore, I'll try it with another bite.

In this way, Wang Zhong tried to finish this strange solid salad.

His first words after finishing the meal: "Is there any Chanaki stew? Bring me some."

Belinsky's favorite Chanaki stew is also quite to Wang Zhong's taste, and the walnut jam pie is also good.

Lyudmila directly took away the empty fish salad plate and put the bowl of stew into Wang Zhong's hand: "I knew you liked it."

Wang Zhong ate the stew while watching others enjoy the food.

The nights are getting darker, signaling that the New Year is approaching.

When the meal was almost done, the girls from the cooking team appeared pushing a trolley containing wine. In order to keep the temperature of the wine barrels, there was a charcoal stove on the trolley!

"There aren't that many goblets," the girl pushing the cart shouted, "just use your kettles. The first barrel is filled with sparkling wine, and the second is your favorite vodka!"

The soldiers stirred when they heard vodka.

But Wang Zhong saw that they all drank the champagne obediently from the water bottles with thermal sheaths, and then took the vodka.

It seems that during the Chinese New Year, you have to drink sparkling wine first and then vodka.

Otherwise, these wine men would definitely make vodka first.

The secular church has always promoted sparkling wine - that is, champagne - as part of its propaganda. However, after so many years of promotion, the production of champagne has increased, but it cannot sell vodka.

When Wang Zhong saw the car coming to him, he also took some champagne and put it into his mouth, and then some vodka.

Just when the group was satiated and sipping some wine, the loudspeaker at the Kubinka training ground began to play bells - this was the arrival of the New Year.

Wang Zhong held the kettle with a thermal cover and turned to Lyudmila: "Happy New Year."

Liu Da also smiled: "Happy New Year, may you win more battles."

Wang Zhong nodded: "That's natural."

The bell from the loudspeaker rang out for the last time, and then there was music, which seemed to be a variation of the Tsar Ode. Wang Zhong had a premonition that Olga might be giving a speech.

Sure enough, Olga's voice appeared: "Subjects of the empire, this year has been a difficult year for us. The Prosen Empire massacred our brothers and sisters, our friends, and even our parents. They were cruel Killing prisoners and civilians, leaving a blood debt on this land!

"Compatriots, in the past year, Ant's territory has been filled with sorrow."

Wang Zhong was wondering at this time whether Olga would reveal the truth about the Tsar's death. However, the people in Yebao had long known that the Tsar was clamoring for surrender, so he was killed.

After all, there were too many people in the Summer Palace on the day he went crazy, and there were many people who came to rescue him, and they all heard him.

Finally, Olga mentioned this incident: "The Plossians even fired cannons at the Summer Palace. At that time, my father was already on the verge of collapse because of his brother's martyrdom. As a result, the Plossans' cannon broke his nerves." The last string made him go completely crazy!”

So in the end, the Tsar was not accused of treason, but went crazy.

Olga: "It turned out that the guard's gun was taken away by my father, and he just swallowed the gun and committed suicide."

Okay, it reminds me of a country where someone was shot eight times in the back and then concluded that he committed suicide.

Yingjiang, don’t look at others, I’m talking about you!

Olga: "The great sadness has seized me, but I know that at this time I must straighten my back and wear this heavy crown! I, Olga Nikolayevna Antono Funa, I promise to lead you to victory! No matter how long it takes, we will regain our homeland, and then invade the culprit's country and completely eliminate the source of the atrocities!"

Wang Zhong nodded: "Very good, short and powerful, without any discussion, only emphasizing the results."

For an illiterate old peasant like Mrs. Ilinichna, this kind of speech is most appropriate.

After all, Ant’s older generation still has many old farmers, so they have to understand.

The Tsar's speech ended and the music started again, but this time it was not the Tsar's Ode, but the Holy War.

The soldiers began to cheer: "Hurrah!"

After all, after drinking, Ulla’s voice kept coming and going.

Wang Zhong turned to Pavlov and Popov and said: "Be careful tonight. Don't leave drunk people on the playground. It will be bad if they freeze to death."

Pavlov patted his chest: "Don't worry! Also, Happy New Year!"

Just as Wang Zhong was about to respond, thin snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

It wasn't the violent goose-feather snow more than a month ago, but snow that was so fine that it was somewhat inconsistent with the style of Ant's country.

Wang Zhong suddenly remembered an old saying: Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest.

At this time, Popov said to Wang Zhong seriously: "Your Majesty General - no, Davarisi, I strongly request that your set of work procedures be spread to all the chaplains accompanying the army."

Wang Zhong: "You mean singing? Is it the kind of dance competition where you compete with each other?"

Popov: "There is also the singing competition. I thought about it. In this kind of singing competition based on troops, although everyone is only competing for the pitch of their voices, and the victory or defeat is almost just a battle of spirits, it plays an important role. Strengthen the role of collective consciousness.”

Nonsense, this is something that the iron army from another time and space has figured out over the years.

Popov: "You should come to us for lectures, Davarish."

Wang Zhong: "No, I have too many lectures to do. Just go and talk to them, or let Pavlov summarize it into a booklet. I read Pavlov's post-war experience That’s a good summary!”

"Me?" Pavlov was shocked, "You ordered me again!"

Wang Zhong waved his hand: "That's it!"
