  Chapter 1696 Admission Notice

  Just as the Soviet army was fighting the German army in the Kyiv area, Sokov, who had no official and a light body, was recuperating in the military hospital in Lubyanka. Seeing that the weather outside was good, Asiya pushed Lunev to go outside to bask in the sun. As soon as she reached the door of the ward, she saw Lunev walking in from the outside.

   "Good afternoon, Lunev." Sokov, who was sitting in a wheelchair, waved his hand at Lunev, and greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, why are you free to visit me today?"

"Misha, are you going to go out to bask in the sun?" Lunev, who was standing at the door, did not move out of the way, but said to Sokov with a smile, "Don't rush out for now, I have something good to do." To inform you."

   "Is there something good to tell me?" Sokov's first thought came to his mind. Could it be that the other party is helping Shtemenko to be a lobbyist again and wants to join the General Staff? Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Lunev, if you still persuade me to join the General Staff, I think you should save yourself. I will go back to the front after I recover, and I will definitely not go to the General Staff."

"Don't worry, I didn't come to see you today to let you join the general staff." Lunev stepped forward to take control of the wheelchair from Asiya, and pushed Misha towards the hospital bed. : "I came to see you today, and I was entrusted by Lieutenant General Velyovkin Rahalsky to bring you something."

"Lieutenant General Velyovkin Lakhalsky asked you to deliver something to me?" Sokov repeated the strange name, frowning and asked in confusion: "I don't seem to know him, is he what for?"

   This time it was Lunev's turn to frown: "No way, Misha. You don't even know the dean of the Frunze Military Academy."

   "Hehehe," Sokov said dryly, "I don't have a chance to study at the Frunze Military Academy, so naturally I don't care who the dean of the academy is."

"I didn't have a chance before, but it doesn't mean I won't have a chance in the future." Lunev said with a smile: "I came here today to inform you that you have been officially admitted to the Frunze Military Academy, and you can go to the academy with the admission letter tomorrow. According to reports, the study time is eight months."

   As he spoke, Lunev took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Sokov: "This is your admission letter."

   Sokov took the envelope and opened it, and there was indeed an admission notice inside, with the seal of the Frunze Military Academy on it. He casually handed the notice to Asiya who was standing aside, and murmured, "It's really the admission notice from Frunze Military Academy."

   Lunev said: "Misha, congratulations, you can enter the Frunze Military Academy to study. Among the friends I know, you are the only one who is exempted from the entrance examination."

  Sokov was taken aback when he heard this, and then asked: "Do you still need an exam to enter the Frunze Military Academy?"

Lunev put a serious face on his face and said seriously: "Misha, look at what you said, do you think that anyone who wants to enter the Frunze Military Academy can enter it? The entry requirements for students are extremely strict. Combined Arms Advanced Command School, who has served as a battalion-level commander for more than two years, has practical experience in unit command, has good combat quality, is under 38 years old, and has the rank of captain or major.

  The admissions method is to be recommended by the leader first, and then reviewed by the college one by one. Only after the qualification is confirmed, can you be eligible to take the exam and admit the best. The subjects of the examination are Russian language, mathematics, physics, literature, tactics, technical equipment and so on. "

   "Oh, it's so strict." Sokov asked a little puzzled: "Then why can I enter without an exam?"

"Because you have been recommended by Zhukov, Vasilevsky and Konev at the same time," Lunev explained to Sokov, "plus your excellent performance on the battlefield, so the academy is willing to make an exception for you. , let you enter without examination."

   "I don't know what to learn in the academy?"

"The original schooling system is three years. In the first year, you will learn basic tactical theory and regimental offensive and defensive tactics. In the second year, you will learn divisional tactics and command. In the third year, you will learn the theory and command of group army campaigns. Two or three months before graduation, you will also learn front army battles, etc. Relevant knowledge." Lunev introduced to Sokov: "But because it is during the war and there is an urgent need for well-trained officers on the battlefield, many crash courses for officer training have been opened, reducing the learning time to three months."

   "Then how are my eight-month courses organized?"

"Since you already have the experience of commanding a group army, the learning time of regiment-level and division-level tactics and command will be reduced to two months. For the remaining six months, focus on learning the theory and command of the group army or front army campaign .”

  Hearing this, Sokov couldn't help feeling ecstatic, and let himself learn the battle theory and command of the front army level. Does this mean that he will have the opportunity to serve as a front army level commander in the future?

Just as Sokov was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard Asya ask Lunev: "Lunev, as far as I know, the Frunze Military Academy moved to Tashkent shortly after the outbreak of the war, and Misha must not be allowed to go there. Are you studying so far away?"

Lunev said with a chuckle: "Assia, your information is already out of date. With the improvement of the battlefield situation, Moscow has been completely freed from the threat of the German army, so many agencies that have been relocated have returned to China. To Moscow. And the Frunze Military Academy is one of them."

   "Lunev, Misha's rank is now a lieutenant general." Assia continued to ask: "Let him study with a group of mid-level officers, won't everyone feel restrained?"

  Asiya asked this question because she was worried that in the officer training class, there were a group of captains or majors, and a lieutenant general who suddenly appeared to study with them might bring psychological pressure to everyone and make everyone feel restrained.

Faced with Assia's worry, Lunev said with a relaxed expression: "Assia, don't worry about this. The superior has already considered this issue. Misha will study this time according to the level of his training class. , to adjust his rank."

Seeing the blank faces of the two, Lunev further explained: "For example, in the training class for learning basic tactical theory and regimental offensive and defensive tactics, the rank of officers is usually captain or major, and the rank worn by Misha is captain. ; when learning division-level tactics and command, Misha’s rank will be changed to lieutenant colonel; when it comes to the group army campaign theory and command training class, there are many general students there, so Misha can wear his original rank.”

"Lunev, the notice says to report tomorrow." Asiya said worriedly, "But Misha still has a cast on his leg, can you discuss it with the academy, and wait for Misha to walk before going to study? "

   "It doesn't matter. I have already discussed with Velyovkin. According to Misha's current physical condition, he is allowed to go to class in a wheelchair."

  Asiya did not make up her own mind for Sokov, but looked at him and asked, "Misha, what do you think?"

"If you can go to class in a wheelchair, there is no problem going to the academy to report tomorrow." Sokov looked up at Lunev and asked: "Lunev, what I care about is whether I will live in the academy after I enroll. , or go back to the hospital every day after school?"

   "Your injury hasn't healed yet, and you still need to continue treatment. Naturally, you should go back to the hospital after school every day." Lunev said reasonably, "I will arrange someone to drive you every day."

  Seeing that Lunev has considered all the issues that should be considered, Sokov is not hypocritical, nodded and said: "Okay, Lunev, please send someone to send me to the academy to report tomorrow."

"No problem." Lunev raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said to Sokov, "I still have something to do, so I have to go first. I will send someone to pick you up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and take your new military uniform by the way." bring."
