Steel Soviet Union

Personally speaking, Malashenko really wants to continue fighting under Vatugin. ReadМ

Among the many superiors he has followed, Malashenko dare not say that Vatutin is the one with the best command ability. In actual combat, Vatutin did make command mistakes at certain times. This must be admitted. .

But if you want to name the boss who has the best relationship with Malashenko, Comrade Ma will answer two names without even thinking about it.

One of them is, of course, Zhukov. Malashenko will never forget the kindness he received from his acquaintance.

Next, the person who can be treated on the same level as Zhukov in Malashenko's heart is naturally Vatutin. In other words, except for Vatutin, no one else can hold such a heavy weight in Comrade Lao Ma's heart.

Of course, this weight only refers to the relationship between superiors and subordinates and comrades-in-arms, love is not included.

If we talk about the matter and the truth, it is indeed a good choice to follow Konev at this time. It is not an exaggeration to say that he picked up a piece of gold while walking or a treasure fell from the sky.

Because even in the post-father era, when Zhukov lost power, it was in the normal timeline in Malashenko's future memory where no time traveler existed. At that time, Konev was still prosperous and held a high position in the Soviet Union. Zhukov's exclusion and suppression did not affect him at all. Konev, who was the Marshal of the Soviet Union, could still enjoy what he deserved. everything on.

Malashenko is very aware of this situation, so it stands to reason that he should settle the relationship with Konev in advance and grasp the olive branch as soon as he extends it and seize the opportunity to get close to him. This is the correct understanding in general. Choice, this is called seizing the opportunity and making plans for the future.

But in essence, Malashenko is not a person who likes to follow the crowd and rush to curry favor with the leader. This is purely due to his character and personality, whether before or after the time travel.

Otherwise, Malashenko wouldn't have to wait until now to try to curry favor with his future leader. He would have already looked for an opportunity to curry favor with Khrushchev.

Wouldn't it be better to establish a good relationship with the future Communist Party of the Soviet Union in advance and get it right in one step? It’s not like this opportunity has never happened before. If Malashenko really wanted to do this, why wait until now to curry favor with a marshal? This is obviously unreasonable.

So in the final analysis, Malashenko is a person who pursues peace at his core.

Malashenko doesn’t even want to have a life with ups and downs and awesomeness. If you really want to ask him what he wants most in life, Malashenko will definitely answer without hesitation, “I want to go back and be with you tomorrow.” The beautiful daughter-in-law warms the bed and contributes to the Soviet Union’s population restoration project.”

Everything he has done since time travel has been a helpless act forced by the situation. At first, he did it as a last resort to save his life. Later, he was caught up in the craze of the Great Patriotic War and couldn't help himself if he wanted to escape.

Even now, Malashenko cannot control his own destiny and can't do whatever he wants. He still has to follow the instructions of his superiors and lead his troops in various expeditions here and there, and in various battles.

Apply for retirement now? Don't even think about it.

Malashenko himself knows that applying for retirement now is purely because he wants to make a fuss. If he really makes a big fuss, he might be treated as a deserter and sent to jail or even shot. If you want to retire, you must at least wait until the end of the Great Patriotic War and have a stable life for two years. This matter is not something you can control at all.

Regardless of others, Malashenko bets that Zhukov would never allow him to retire in the first place and would never let him retire.

Having said all that, Comrade Lao Ma is nothing more than a person who wants to pursue himself as much as possible under the premise that conditions permit. If there is really no other way, he can only aggrieve himself and adapt.

But now that Zhukov has asked for his thoughts and opinions, Malashenko must act according to his true thoughts. He can't just say "I really want to get close to the new Soviet Marshal" right?

If these words were really said out loud, if nothing else, Malashenko estimated that his relationship with Vatutin would definitely be cast into a shadow. If these words reached Vatutin's ears, how sad would this honest and sentimental big brother who regarded him as his brother be.

It is said that when a woman is betrayed, her life will be shattered, and when a man is betrayed, his soul will be shattered.

Therefore, both emotionally and logically, Malashenko wants to continue fighting with Vatutin.

It’s not that Vatutin is very good, but after learning from Zhukov that Vatutin was also desperately trying to keep him in front of Comrade Stalin, Malashenko really didn’t want anything else and wanted to continue to follow the old leader.

Don't say it's you Konev who wants someone, I won't go.

Even Khrushchev now wants me to go over and have sex with him. As long as Vatugin doesn’t drive me away, I will never go!

But what if Zhukov and Vatutin rob people?

This is a possibility that has not been considered by Comrade Lao Ma. As for whether it will happen one day in the future, it is too early to say.

Malashenko's answer was honestly within Zhukov's expectation.

According to Zhukov's understanding of Malashenko, this guy is also a bloody man who values ​​loyalty and affection, and his sensibility is almost as close as his rationality.

Asking Malashenko to do such a thing of betraying his feelings to seek a better career, Zhukov expected that there was a high probability that Malashenko would not be able to do it.

The facts and results before him also proved Zhukov's guess that Malashenko was indeed not that kind of person.

For Zhukov himself, this answer can be called "quite satisfactory."

For no other reason than to see such a new star of the Red Army whom he single-handedly promoted could say "no" to "ungratefulness" so decisively and without hesitation, Zhukov felt that he had not made a mistake and used such force. Determined to pull this kid up is the right thing to do.

Of course, being capable is one thing, but no one wants to spend so much effort, only to end up with an "ungrateful and unjust" white-eyed wolf, right? And Zhukov also believes that these are definitely Malashenko's true thoughts and innermost thoughts, because he knows him as such a person in the world. Malashenko who says this can be said to be familiar and unchanged. .

If Malashenko does not betray Vatutin today, Malashenko, who still has a future tomorrow, will not forget his kindness.

This is probably the most gratifying certainty for Zhukov today.

To take a step back, this can also be understood as an opportunity for Zhukov to test Malashenko, right?

The human heart is often such a complicated thing that cannot be explained clearly in many twists and turns.

Only by peeling away layer by layer like an onion and getting to the core can you see the truest essence hidden behind everything.
