As soon as the group walked up to the second floor, a major came over.
The junior cadre walking in front saw the other party and hurriedly came forward to greet him: "Comrade military representative, there is a general who wants to see the comrade director of the factory. I wonder if he is in the office?"
The major tilted his head and looked behind the young cadre, and happened to see Sokov being supported by Asiya and Koshkin. He quickly ran forward, stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, comrade general! I am the instrument factory. Major Kudlin, the army representative, I resolutely obey your orders, please give instructions!"
Sokov gently broke away from Koshkin's support and raised his hand to return a military salute: "Please rest a moment, Major Kudrin! I am Lieutenant General Sokov. I have something to talk to the director of the instrument factory. Do you know where to find him?"
"Of course, Comrade General." Major Kudrin did not associate the young general in front of him with the general with great military exploits who often appeared in newspapers and radio. However, facing a commander whose military rank was much higher than his own, he still showed due respect: "Comrade the factory director is talking to a family member of an employee in his office. I will take you to him right now."
"Misha!" After Asiya heard what Kudrin said, she whispered to Sokov: "Could the employee's family he mentioned be my mother?"
"It's possible." Sokov thought it was very likely, and nodded: "When we go to the office, we will get the answer we want to know."
Since there was a military representative leading the way, it was obviously inappropriate for a small cadre to follow him. After saying something to Sokov and others, he returned downstairs again.
Soon the group of people arrived at the door of the factory director's office. The door was open, and they could see everything in the room clearly from the corridor. Asiya, who was supporting Sokov, suddenly exclaimed and rushed into the door, hugging a middle-aged woman standing in the room.
Sokov saw that the middle-aged woman had some similarities with Asiya between her eyebrows, and guessed that she must be Asiya's mother, so he walked into the room with a cane.
Asiya pulled the middle-aged woman in front of Sokov and introduced with a blushing face: "Mom, this is my husband Misha."
"Hello, mother!" Sokov waited for Asiya to finish speaking, then he reached out to the middle-aged woman and said respectfully: "I am your son-in-law Misha. I am very happy to meet you."
The middle-aged woman looked at the young general wearing a brand-new military uniform in front of her with an expression of disbelief on her face. She never dreamed that the son-in-law she had never met was actually a general.
Major Kudlin, who was standing next to him, waited for the two parties to finish their greetings, then smiled and said to Sokov: "Comrade General, let me introduce to you, this is Comrade Prazorev, the director of the instrument factory. "
"Hello, Comrade Factory Director." Sokov came here to help Asiya inquire about his father. Naturally, his attitude towards the factory director was very friendly. He said politely: "Nice to meet you."
Prazorev looked at Sokov and asked excitedly: "Comrade General, I would like to ask, are you General Sokov who once served as the commander of the 27th Army?"
"Yes, Comrade Factory Director." Sokov gave an affirmative answer to Prazorev's question: "I am the General Sokov you mentioned."
After receiving the affirmative answer, Prazorev immediately stretched out his hands to hold Sokov's hand tightly, and said a bit gaffefully: "Comrade General, it is my honor to see you here. To be honest, You said that the Industrial Bureau organized a condolence team to visit your troops six months ago. I originally signed up, but I fell ill unexpectedly two days before departure, so I was unable to go. Otherwise, I would have been able to go half a year earlier. Getting to know you.”
Sokov glanced at Major Kudrin, the military representative next to him. Seeing the shocked look on his face, he couldn't help but asked Prazorev in surprise: "Comrade Factory Director, how did you recognize me?" I am very curious, how did Prazorev do it without even a soldier like Kudrin identifying himself?
"Comrade General," Prazorev replied with a smile: "My son is also in the 27th Army. In the photo he sent me back, there is a photo of him and you. I often look at this photo, naturally. I will remember you. As soon as you walked in, I felt familiar, so I asked tentatively, but I didn't expect it was really you."
As he spoke, he took out a wallet from his pocket, opened it, took out a photo inside, handed it to Sokov and said, "Look, this is a photo of him and you."
Sokov took the photo and saw that it was a photo of himself and a sergeant. Looking at the familiar face of the sergeant, Sokov thought for a long time before he remembered that this was a soldier of the Belkin Regiment of the 84th Division. Due to his heroic performance in the battle, he single-handedly blew up two German tanks and also He killed more than 30 German officers and soldiers. When I awarded him a medal, I took this photo with him.
Sokov no longer remembers the name of this soldier, but since Prazorev showed this photo to himself, it is still necessary to say a few words. While handing the photo back to Prazorev, he said with a smile: "Comrade factory director, your son is amazing. Before we took this photo, a battle had just ended, and he blew up two A German tank and more than 30 German officers and soldiers were killed."
Although the record Sokov mentioned, Prazorev had already known about it and had told others about it on multiple occasions. However, others think that achieving such a record is too far-fetched. Every time Prazorev mentioned this, everyone just agreed casually, but they were skeptical in their hearts.
Among the skeptics, Major Kudlin, the military representative of the factory, was naturally indispensable. When he heard Sokov say this, he couldn't help but ask: "Comrade General, has he really achieved such results?"
Sokov noticed that Prazorev frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with Kudrin's question. He smiled faintly and said, "Comrade Major, of course the results are real."
"Comrade General, to tell you the truth, I have fought on the front line before." Kudrin said to Sokov: "At that time, in order to destroy a German tank, we had to sacrifice at least seven or eight soldiers. So I When I heard that one person destroyed two tanks, I couldn’t help but have doubts about such a record.”
"Comrade Major, you are right." Sokov said: "In the early days of the war, because our commanders and soldiers had no anti-tank experience and were not familiar with weapons, it would naturally take a lot of effort to destroy the enemy's tanks. price."
