Sokov felt that what Sidorin said was very reasonable. After laughing, he got up and went to the next room.
He planned to find a place where no one was around to call Asiya, so as not to worry about speaking in front of everyone. After the call was connected, Asia's angry voice came from the receiver: "Are you willing to call me?"
"Asia, I'm really sorry just now." Sokov said apologetically: "I shouldn't have any doubts about you..."
"Okay, no need to say anything." Asia interrupted Sokov's words before he could finish.
"How is your injury? Does it affect your walking?"
"Don't worry, the injury has healed a long time ago." Sokov said with a smile: "Marshal Zhukov came to inspect the defense area a few days ago. I followed him for two or three hours, and there was no problem at all."
"You should be more careful and don't get hurt again." Asia said, "If you get hurt again, I'm afraid you won't be as lucky as last time."
"Well, I understand."
"There's nothing wrong, so I'll just hang up. I've been very busy at work recently."
"oh."
"Remember to call home when you have time. I'm at home every night."
"OK."
"Hang up!" Sokov held the microphone from which the blind tone came. After being dazed for a while, he returned to the war room.
Sidorin saw Sokov entering the door and asked with a half-smile: "The call is over." Sokov did not answer, just nodded. Seeing that Ponedelin was not in the room, he asked casually: "Deputy Commander Where did the officer go?"
"Colonel Kirillov called and said something happened." Sidorin said: "He went out after answering the phone." Perhaps because he was worried about Sokov, he specifically added,
"I think it's nothing serious, otherwise he wouldn't have left without even saying hello." Koshkin came in from outside and said to Sokov: "Comrade Commander, Commander of the 25th Guards Regiment Lieutenant Colonel Lesiev wants to see you. Will you let him in?" Milesiev was the first regimental commander personally appointed by Sokov after he became the commander of the 48th Group Army.
According to Sokov's thinking: He must have encountered some trouble at work when he came to see him.
Thinking of this, he said to Koshkin: "Let him come in." Soon, Koshkin walked in with Milesiev.
After Miresiev saluted, Sokov did not talk to him in circles, but asked directly: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, you came to me because you encountered any difficulties at work?"
"No, Comrade Commander." Unexpectedly, Milesiev said: "I have something very important to report to you, so I came here in a hurry."
"whats the matter?"
"Comrade Commander, it's like this." Miresiev explained: "There was a soldier in my regiment who was an employee of the Minsk State Bank before the war. After the war broke out, they were ordered to transfer a batch of gold from the vault Transfer..." As soon as he heard about transferring the gold in the vault, Sokov suddenly became interested: "Then what?"
"Comrade Commander, I was about to say something." Miresiev said with some embarrassment, "but you interrupted me."
"Keep talking."
"When we retreated to the vicinity, we were bombed by enemy planes, and the road ahead was blocked by roundabout German troops." Miresiev said: "Under the circumstances, we continued to follow the original plan and headed toward Moscow. Transferring gold was already an impossible task. The bank leader who led the team decided to hide the gold and wait until the German troops were driven away before digging it out. However, due to the emergency situation, they were not left to dig holes at all. At that time, the bank leader ordered people to throw the gold into the swamp. After doing all this, the bank leader continued on his way with the empty truck to prevent the Germans from discovering that they had hidden gold here." Sokov finished listening. After Miresiev's narration, he turned to Sidorin and said, "Comrade Chief of Staff, what do you think I thought of after listening to the Lieutenant Colonel's narration?" Sidorin pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: " Comrade Commander, if I guess correctly, you are thinking of the missing Tsarist gold."
"Yes, I did think of the missing Tsar's gold." Sokov said: "After the Aurora's cannon was fired, a large amount of Tsar's gold did disappear. Among them, the Tsarist Russian Admiral Kolchak led That batch of gold mysteriously disappeared in the Siberian snowfields." Sidorin nodded and added: "Kolchak's army was completely wiped out when it crossed Lake Baikal, and Kolchak himself was also killed by the Czech Army. The betrayal was handed over to our army. Since then, the whereabouts of the gold has become a mystery. Our government believes that part of the gold may have sunk into Lake Baikal, and the rest of the gold has fallen into the hands of Kolchak's allies. Unfortunately, there is not enough evidence to convince the other party. Admit the truth.”
"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel," Sokov said to Milesiev: "What happened to the bank leader? Did he report a batch of gold that sank in the swamp to his superiors?"
"No, Comrade Commander." Miresiev shook his head and said: "I heard from the bank employee that they were bombed again by German planes during the transfer. The bank leaders and most of the people were bombed. He died, and he was also injured and fainted on the spot. When he woke up, he found that there were corpses all around and there was no living person. He struggled to escape into the forest and hid there for two days. Later, After encountering a fleeing refugee force, he followed him back to the rear." Sokov felt that what Sidorin said was very reasonable. After laughing, he got up and went to the next room.
