When Sokov returned to the headquarters, he saw Ponedelin chatting with Smirnov and Gorokhov. He raised his voice and greeted the three of them: "Hello, comrades, commanders!"
The three people who were talking all turned their heads in unison and looked in the direction of the sound. Seeing clearly that it was Sokov, the three of them stood up straight. Ponejelin, who was closest, took the lead to greet him: "Comrade Commander, you are back!"
"Yes, I'm back." Sokov stretched out his hand and shook Ponejelin's hand, and asked impatiently: "How is it? Has any news come back from the scouts we sent?"
"Yes, Comrade Commander." Smirnov nodded and said: "We are studying the report sent back by the scouts... My God!" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly found Sokov's epaulette. There was an extra gold star on it, "Comrade Commander, am I right? There are three stars on your shoulder straps?"
After Smirnov's reminder, Ponedelin and Gorokhov also discovered this detail. Ponejelin asked in surprise: "Comrade Commander, you are actually wearing the epaulettes of an admiral! What on earth is going on?"
Sokov was suddenly promoted to the rank of general, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud. At this moment, when Ponedelin asked, he told the three people what happened in detail.
After listening to Sokov's story, Gorokhov reached out to him first: "Comrade Commander, please accept my congratulations! Congratulations on obtaining a higher military rank."
Then Smirnov and Ponedelin also expressed the same meaning and congratulated Sokov on his promotion to general. After the congratulations of the two men ended, the staff officers and communications personnel in the headquarters who knew about the incident, regardless of their military rank, all stepped forward to congratulate Sokov.
You know, when a group army commander is promoted to general, it means that the superiors recognize this unit. As a member of the 53rd Army, every one of Sokov's men is honored.
Just after accepting the congratulations from the members of the headquarters, the phone on the table rang again. This time it was Kurishenko, the commander of the 41st Guards Division. He said sincerely: "Comrade Commander, I heard that you have obtained the rank of general. On behalf of the commanders and fighters of the entire division, I would like to congratulate you!"
After Sokov expressed his gratitude to the other party, he suddenly thought of a very critical question. Only people in the headquarters knew about his promotion. How did Kurishenko, who was more than ten kilometers away, know? With this question in mind, he asked: "Comrade General, I would like to ask, how did you learn about this news?"
Unexpectedly, Kurishenko smiled and said: "Comrade Commander, of course I have my own news channel."
Hearing that the other party had his own news channel, Sokov couldn't help but glance at the busy staff and communications personnel not far away, wondering if it was one of these people who disclosed the news to Kurishenko .
When Kurishenko heard Sokov's silence, he immediately guessed that he might be suspecting someone in the headquarters of leaking information, so he smiled and said: "Comrade Commander, you must not doubt the comrades in the headquarters, they can No information was given to me. I got the information about your promotion from the front army headquarters."
After hearing what Kurishenko said, Sokov realized that he had mistakenly blamed his subordinates, so he laughed twice. After chatting with Kurishenko for a few more words, he put down the phone.
But unexpectedly, as soon as the phone was put down, the ring rang again. This time it was a call from Lieutenant Colonel Kirillov, commander of the 252nd Infantry Division, who also congratulated Sokov.
In this way, the infantry division commanders and tank brigade commanders all called the army headquarters to express their heartfelt congratulations to Sokov who was promoted.
After finally getting no more calls, Sokov got back to the topic: "Comrade Chief of Staff, tell me, what information did our scouts come back with?"
When Sokov returned to the headquarters, he saw Ponedelin chatting with Smirnov and Gorokhov. He raised his voice and greeted the three of them: "Hello, comrades, commanders!"
