Steel Soviet Union

Chapter 2252??Night time

"The German guy's house is quite nice. I can finally have a good sleep tonight. I have to go to bed early later. I haven't slept in a proper house for a while.

Iushkin, who came to the division headquarters for a "visit", was staying with Malashenko, and Artyom, who was also pulled by Iushkin for a walk, was with him.

The new partners of Iushkin and Artyom are getting better and better with each passing day, and they can also find a sense of mutual recognition in combat cooperation. This is very important for the effectiveness of combat. Being familiar with each other is very important. As a prerequisite for better fighting, Malashenko, as the commander of the vehicle, is of course happy to see this happen.

"Are you still full after dinner? I still have it here. I can have someone heat it up for you. Only when you are full can you sleep soundly."

Sitting next to the fireplace with Iushkin and Artyom, Malashenko, chatting and drinking hot tea, asked Iushkin if he had had enough for dinner.

You must know that this guy is a standard big-bellied man. Although he has a slim figure and doesn't have any extra fat on his body, if he doesn't fill up two lunch boxes for you after one meal, I'm afraid it's just today. The child is not easy to handle, so he must be underfed.

Malashenko, who was well aware of Iushkin's appetite, just asked casually, not that he really thought Iushkin didn't have enough to eat at night. The leader's food supply always kept you full. No problem, there is no shortage of staple food or non-staple food, and meat is available every day.

But I really didn't expect that Iushkin, who didn't know how much he had eaten at night, actually wanted to eat more just before going to bed.

"I'm really hungry. What can I eat?"

"Hey, if I didn't ask you, would you really not be hungry anymore?"

Malashenko, who was suddenly amused, did not mean that he could not meet Iushkin's request, but he did not let the cooking team set up a small stove for Iushkin in the middle of the night.

It's already around this time, and even the cooking team has finished washing dishes and washing pots, clearing up the stalls and turning off the flames to get ready for a rest. After all, the cooks have to get up very early the next morning to prepare a hot breakfast before the big troops get up and set off. In line with the principle of going to bed early and getting up early, it is still appropriate to rest early at night. Rashenko didn't want to disturb them.

There are other ways to fill Iushkin's stomach. Although Malashenko doesn't really want to trouble anyone, especially a stranger he only met after arriving in a new place, this is the only way he can do it now.

"Go and call the owner of this house, tell him that I have something to ask for, and be more relaxed. It's getting late. There's no reason to be arrogant by requisitioning someone's house and disturbing their rest."

"Yes, I'll do it right away, Comrade Commander."

Some things can really be done with a single order, so there is no harm in arranging it yourself. After all, it is relatively more secure to do things by yourself.

After a while, the guard squad leader sent out by Malashenko brought over a young woman who was still charming. It seemed that she must be the head of the family.

This woman is about forty years old, and the passage of time has inevitably left traces of the vicissitudes of time on her face, but this does not prevent her from still being a relatively attractive face, or in other words, relatively beautiful. Temperament. This is not something that will disappear completely after reaching a certain age, it will only change as time goes by.

The house that was temporarily requisitioned by the leading division as the division's headquarters belonged to her family. Speaking of specific circumstances, I heard that the male owner of the house had just fallen ill and passed away not long ago. He was a relatively powerful businessman in the town. , so our family can have this kind of three-story house with a single courtyard, which is very impressive in a small town.

The businessman's connections and financial resources during his lifetime were pretty good, but it was rare to be able to keep his wealth in these troubled times and war years. After his death, these things were naturally left to several of his closest family members: his wife and two daughter.

When he first arrived here, Malashenko was a little surprised and strange that this magnificent small building and single courtyard was actually owned by a woman. This seemed a bit unbelievable during the war years.

However, after hearing the whole story from the mayor who "actively cooperated", Malashenko did not ask any more questions or make any excessive demands.

He just told the mayor that the courtyard and small building would be temporarily requisitioned for one night. At dawn tomorrow, the Red Army would set off and leave. By then, the courtyard would remain the same as before.

The Red Army will not kill people or set fires, and they will not impose any demands on others. I hope the mayor can talk to the hostess of this house and handle the requisition matter. After all, he is the local chief executive. With good connections, it is easier to work with the Red Army and have the support of the Red Army behind it. That's what it means.

The mayor, who was timid but not stupid, was also eager to prove his worth to Malashenko, so he took over the matter without saying a word, saying that he would take care of it and would take care of it.

The entire leadership division moved in as a matter of course and prepared to spend the night temporarily. The mayor later reported that the hostess of the family was very willing to cooperate and offered to take her daughters to the old house in the corner of the yard. They had to deal with it for one night so that the entire small building could be given over to the Red Army.

Malashenko knew that this might be the result of what the mayor said to the hostess and used his own connections to do things. Maybe the hostess’s intention was not like this. But at least judging from this result, Malashenko feels that he still has to thank others a little.

If you really want to live in someone else's house for free and don't pay for hotel expenses, but are so arrogant and unreasonable, then that's a bit too much, isn't it? Comrade Lao Ma has always been reasonable. If you respect me a foot, I will respect you a foot. Everyone can give each other face and have fun until the end.

However, Malashenko, who had a lot of things to do at hand, quickly forgot about this matter. He said that he wanted to thank the hostess of the house, but in the end, he didn't think of it at all. It was only now that he was serious about it. I met him in person for the first time.

"Hello madam, I am the supreme commander of the Red Army troops stationed in the town. You can call me Malashenko. First of all, thank you for your willingness to provide your house to support the Red Army. Furthermore, it is so late and should not disturb your rest. , but I want to ask you for help with something now. I don’t know if it’s convenient? Please don’t be restrained. Just say whatever you want, but it doesn’t matter.”
