Arc of Gunfire

Chapter 602 Old Friends (Update 40/84)

After roughly ascertaining the enemy's intentions, on March 24, after three days of train travel, Wang Zhong's special train entered St. Ekaterinaburg Station.

Before entering the station, Wang Zhong saw through the window that the railway tracks outside were full of people, as if people from the entire capital had gathered on both sides of the railway tracks.

Someone saw him through the window and shouted.

Wang Zhong lowered the curtains and looked back at Lyudmila: "Just because I expected that the crowd might be so enthusiastic, I didn't really want to come back."

Lyudmila: "Alyosha, boosting the morale of the masses is also one of your tasks. You have achieved such a brilliant victory and you should use it to inspire others."

As she spoke, she stepped forward, straightened Wang Zhong's military uniform, adjusted the position of each medal, and said with a smile: "Look, your handsome and beautiful dress will become the dream of all the Yebao girls tonight." "Middle man."

Wang Zhong smiled: "Do you think this is appropriate?"

Lyudmila: "You have been the person of my dreams for a long time."

Wang Zhong was caught off guard by the straight ball. Although they were an old couple, he was a little shy and could only hug the girl to hide it.

"You," Lyudmila complained in her arms, "do you know that the medal is very hard and is hurting my face?"

"Oh, I'm sorry." Wang Zhong hurriedly distanced himself, and then discovered that there was indeed a mark left by a gold star on Lyudmila's face.

Embarrassed.

Wang Zhong rubbed the mark with his hand. This action made Lyudmila laugh: "Don't worry, we will get off the bus ten minutes later and it should be fine."

Just when Wang Zhong was about to speak, the train began to slow down—yes, there were so many people on both sides of the railway just now, but the train did not slow down at all and passed directly through the middle.

Wang Zhong looked out the window. The train had already entered the station. The platform was full of palace guards in costumes. It seemed that Olga had come out to greet him in person.

When the train stopped, the military band on the platform began to play.

Amidst the music, Wang Zhong heard the sound of the train door opening, and someone was talking loudly: "Is it this carriage? It looks so simple, but it is also in line with the general's style. Oh, I smell the fragrance, it's the general Chef Siris!”

Wang Zhong turned around and opened the door of the special box, and said to the strong man who was noisy in the corridor: "Egorov, are you healed?"

The bear-like Yegorov laughed loudly: "Okay! Of course there is still a little disadvantage, it will hurt when it rains, but it's basically gone!"

Wang Zhong: "Isn't that just unreasonable? You continue to take leave and recuperate. The war will not come until June. Before then, relevant matters can be handed over to your chief of staff."

Yegorov frowned: "Is it going to be June? The enemy has not recovered yet, we should actively attack!"

Wang Zhong: "How to attack during the mud? When even tanks can get stuck in the mud, and all cars cannot be used, how can we ensure the logistics of the troops?"

Yegorov sighed: "That's right. I still miss the days when we could carry food and ammunition and break into the enemy's defense lines and continue fighting for several weeks. It's better now."

Wang Zhong: "Times have changed, you should also know this."

"I know." Yegorov scratched his scalp, "Anyway, the guards are always at your disposal, General."

Wang Zhong nodded and changed the subject: "Okay, I'm going down. I can't keep His Majesty waiting."

Yegorov hurriedly gave way, but as a result, he was too big, and Wang Zhong could only pass sideways when he gave way.

Wang Zhong can pass sideways, but Lyudmila may not.

Yegorov suddenly realized this problem, turned around, opened a small door, and got into the small private room behind the door.

This time the lower road is completely cleared.

Wang Zhong took Lyudmila's hand, walked through the carriage and came to the door.

Olga, who was dressed up, stood among a large group of guards and maids, looking at Wang Zhong with a smile.

Wang Zhong smiled, stepped off the iron ladder at the door, and stood on the platform with his feet.

Olga looked like she wanted to run up and give Wang Zhong a hug, but she restrained herself. Instead, she walked up to Wang Zhong with steps worthy of the Tsar's status: "My greatest general, the entire Yekaterinburg is looking forward to your triumph!”

Wang Zhong: "The greatest general does not dare to be a general. We still have many experienced generals who are proficient in the art of war. Moreover, my victory is not due to me alone, but to the entire army and all the people of Nan'ant."

"Even in the occupied areas, the people are still fighting against Prosen. Without them, there would be no victory for me."

Olga: "You are always so humble, my general."

Wang Zhong: "This is not modesty. I can tell you 110,000 stories of ordinary people fighting bravely. For example, the story of a child named Little Griff, who killed many Ploson soldiers!

"I only did a small amount of work, and the victory belongs to the people of Ant."

"That's well said." Belinsky's voice came from behind the Tsar. The maids and servants gave way one after another. The Patriarch walked through the crowd and came to Wang Zhong. "Everyone is the Messiah. Everyone is the Messiah. He is a hero who saves his motherland.”

After speaking, Belinsky extended his hand to Wang Zhong: "Comrade General, your consciousness has surpassed that of many of our bishops."

Wang Zhong held Belinsky's hand: "I just learned something during the war."

From the time when Loktov was rescued by the people, Wang Zhong had some insights, and more and more.

Belinsky: "Very good, very good. Write down your feelings and publish them on the front page of the church's official newspaper!"

Wang Zhong: "Of course, I will."

Olga: "Can you show it to me before publishing? I also want to know what you feel, after all, you are my brother."

Wang Zhong: "Of course, I will send a copy to the Summer Palace."

"Okay." Olga changed the subject, "There is still a ceremony to be carried out. I have asked them to keep it as simple as possible, but the chief steward of the palace said that this will boost the morale of the capital, and the Patriarch also agreed."

Belinsky: "I do agree."

"Then let's start!" Olga said, naturally holding Wang Zhong's hand.

The chief steward of the palace suddenly came out and whispered: "Your Majesty, you can't hold the general's hand. You can only review the guard of honor and the military band side by side."

Olga reluctantly let go of Wang Zhong's arm.

The chief steward of the palace then stepped back with satisfaction.

The ceremony began immediately. The music played by the military band changed to the farewell of the Ante woman. The guard of honor all raised their heads and chests and stared at Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong followed the steps of the Tsar and walked in front of the guard of honor with her. Lyudmila, Yegorov and others stood by and waited for the ceremony to end.

At the end of the red carpet, there was a small platform with a microphone on it. Wang Zhong guessed that he should give a speech, but unexpectedly, Olga stood up first and started to give a speech.

"All citizens of Yekaterinburg! Grand Duke Rokossov, who annihilated one million Prosen troops, has returned triumphantly! You may have learned from the newspaper that he was appointed commander of the Khazaria Front a month ago and will lead our country's most elite troops to recover Khazaria, which has been occupied for two years!

"In order to express my expectations for Rokossov, I decided to confer the title of Grand Duke Rokossov as the King of the Kingdom of Khazaria. "

Wang Zhong's brows were twisted into knots. When he had some free time for the first time after crossing over, he took the time to learn about the background knowledge. He knew that the crown of the Kingdom of Khazaria had always been held by the Tsar, which means that Olga was not only the Tsar, but also the king of the Kingdom of Khazaria.

Now Olga directly gave one of the crowns to Wang Zhong. This operation-

Wang Zhong looked at Belinsky, who shook his head gently, probably meaning "I don't know either."

Sudden attack, Wang Zhong looked at his sister, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether she just wanted to express her expectations without thinking about it, or whether she was shrewd and wanted to pull the now popular General Rokossov onto the chariot of the nobility?

In any case, Wang Zhong decided to make his position clear at this time, so he waited for Olga to finish her speech and step down, and went directly to the podium: "Thank you, His Majesty the Tsar, for your respect for me. I am also happy to accept this crown, but all the current signs show that the era of the nobility is over.

"I felt it particularly clearly during the Battle of Abavakhan. It was the people of Ant who fought the invaders to death, and it was the people of Ant who repaired the railway in the snowstorm to ensure the supply of the army. The people were the protagonists of this great Patriotic War.

"And the nobles are also part of the people of Ant, such as my father and the brother of His Majesty the Tsar. They all died on the battlefield with ordinary soldiers.

"So, when the war is over, I will hand over the crown and scepter to the Agsukov History Museum, and only retain the honorary title, so that these old and unsuitable things will be decently retired."

When Wang Zhong said this, he stared at Olga.

And Olga was smiling all the time, and her true thoughts could not be seen.

Wang Zhong: "My speech is over."

The nobles present looked at each other, while the ordinary people cheered.

Olga suddenly took the lead and clapped hard: "Good! It's very well said, brother!"

Did you call me brother directly? What for?

Wang Zhong walked off the podium.

Olga rushed over and gave him a hug - this hug Wang Zhong originally thought he would get when he got off the car.

When the two separated, Wang Zhong suddenly found that Olga's face was also printed with a medal mark.

But Wang Zhong didn't use any force this time, so Olga pressed herself hard.

Of course, the people around couldn't see the mark on Olga's face. They just cheered excitedly, and the deafening cheers reached the sky.

Olga: "Let's go! I prepared a welcoming banquet in the Summer Palace! Many people were invited!"

Wang Zhong: "You know I don't like the red tape of the nobles."

"Hey, since you won the battle, all the nobles in Yebao are learning your way of doing things. Suddenly, everyone doesn't like those red tapes anymore." Olga said.
