Steel Soviet Union

I have to admit that the red wine brought by Jack is indeed of the best quality.

Even Malashenko, a rough guy who doesn’t care what kind of wine he drinks, and even drinks vodka by shouting at the bottle, thinks this wine is so damn delicious! How fragrant is it? As soon as you pull out the cork, the aroma will flow down your nose and straight to your forehead.

No matter whether the French can fight or not, at least the winemakers are truly speechless, and their ability to surrender is in line with their expertise.

"Hello, madam. Since the day I came to the Soviet Union, I have heard that the general has a particularly beautiful, gentle and virtuous wife. She is the person whom the general cares about most and his only safe haven in the rear. It seems that the news I heard is true. It’s true, Madam is more in line with the standards of a perfect wife than I imagined.”

Although this man was probably a Texas red-neck, if you compare it to the aristocrats whose ancestors were rich and rich, he was definitely a nouveau riche, with no aristocratic temperament or cultural heritage.

But Malashenko didn't want to bring up the bad habits of aristocrats. At least as soon as Jack opened his mouth, his words made people feel particularly comfortable. The personal relationship between Malashenko and Jack is not a dog-eat-dog friend who only flatters you because your family is rich. Comrade Ma felt that he and Jack could still pee in the same pot, so he decided to make this friend.

Although the words were beautifully spoken, there were some minor mistakes that Malashenko felt he had to correct.

"Isn't it too early to use Madam? I said the wedding hasn't been officially held yet.

The conversation between Malashenko and Jack was in English, and Natalia, who was serving the dishes on the side, really couldn't understand it. Jack, who was watching the scene, smiled faintly and then spoke.

"I think it makes no difference. You two will definitely be happy. You will definitely not abandon her, and she will definitely not leave you, so this title is okay, isn't it?"

Malashenko smiled after hearing this. At least in terms of emotional intelligence in verbal communication, Jack is definitely up to par.

"How did you find your way here? Shouldn't you be packing your bags and leaving? Are you still free to come to my place?"

Malashenko didn't mean to ask this to imply "seeing off guests". If he really didn't welcome Jack, Malashenko wouldn't even let Jack in through this door. I could ask this just because I was curious about how Jack came to the door and why he was able to find his home. Other than that, there was no other underlying meaning, that's all.

Jack also knew that his breakthrough was a bit unexpected. It was normal for Malashenko to ask this question. If it were him, he would probably ask similar questions, right? So there is no need to hide or play with the next answer.

"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. I came here after packing my luggage and getting ready. I've already reported to Charlieson, and he knows I'm here to see you."

"I asked Malokov for your address. At first, the guy refused to give it to me. I had no choice but to find Charlieson and ask him to intercede for me. Charlieson called him and the two of them We negotiated with each other for a while, and finally Malokov said that he wanted to ask his superiors for advice, and then called after a while and said that it was okay, but they had to send me here. "

"I didn't see what the street scene was like outside or which road I was taking all the way here. I had no view at all from the back seat of the car. There was also a captain from the Ministry of Internal Affairs sitting with me in the back seat all the way. With a straight face, I was searched before I came. The car is still waiting for me downstairs. I will only be given an hour, and I will have to leave later. It is really not easy to see you. "

""

If Jack hadn't told him, Malashenko would never have imagined that Jack would go through so much trouble and twists and turns to see him.

But after thinking about it, I can understand it. After all, he is a strange foreigner, and he still offered to come to his home, not somewhere else. It's normal for Malokov to be so alert, which also reflects Malokov's conscientiousness and dedication to his work.

With such a good brother responsible for Natalia's secret security in Moscow, Malashenko asked himself that he really didn't need to worry too much on the front line. Now that he thought about it, it was unnecessary.

"Oh, this fried chicken steak with mashed potatoes is so good. It's even more delicious than what my mother makes! General, can you eat such delicious food every day when you are at home? You are so happy that I envy you."

It’s true, this fried chicken cutlet with mashed potatoes is one of Natalia’s specialties. The combination of carbohydrates and deep-fried food is also very high in calories. If you eat too much, you will lose the fat on your body. Keep rising.

Malashenko had this experience before. He stayed at home for half a month after returning from vacation. After returning to the front line, he went to the large scale used to weigh the ingredients in Karamov's logistics department.

Good guy, I gained 12 pounds in half a month, averaging over a pound a day.

Malashenko felt that he had gained a lot of fat on his belly, and his movements into the tank that day were quite clumsy and slow. If I stay for another half month and come back, it will probably be really "arduous" to get into the tank.

Speaking of this matter, Malashenko was actually quite puzzled.

I don’t know if Natalia eats this kind of meal every day when I’m not at home. If so, why doesn’t Natalia get fat? The calories are so high, it shouldn’t be. Or does it mean that the fat that is converted into calories grows in the places where a woman should grow the most? After thinking about his wife's figure, Comrade Ma felt that this was really possible.

Natalia, who had served all the dishes, also sat down and finished the pleasant dinner with her lover and Jack while chatting and laughing.

Knowing that her lover would accompany the guests after dinner, Natalia did not need to say anything, let alone be reminded, so she consciously cleared the dining table, put the cutlery and plates into the kitchen and started cleaning up after the meal.

On the other side, even Jack, who was sitting in the living room enjoying his last chat with Malashenko, could hear the sounds of dishes being washed and water running in the kitchen.

"As a man, not just a soldier, I envy you, General."

"Not only have you reached a peak in your career as a soldier, reaching a level that many people would envy, but you are also continuing to reach the top. In terms of life and emotions, you have such a wonderful lover who is willing to stay with you for the rest of your life. "

"Career and love are the two most important things in a man's life. There are very few people who can be envious of both. You are the most enviable person I have ever met."

Malashenko, who was holding a cigarette between his fingertips, smiled after hearing this. Only in this matter, there is no need for unnecessary modesty, because a girl like Natalia is really his ideal, or most of the time. The ideal image of a virtuous and virtuous wife for upright men is worthy of envy.

"I heard that the US Navy likes to describe warships as girls, right?"

Jack, who heard this, didn't know why. He didn't expect Malashenko to say such a thing, but after thinking about it, he nodded naturally.

"Yeah, I have a few friends who are in the Navy, and they're beating up the bow-legged Japanese monkeys in the Pacific right now. The best one is the flight commander of the USS Enterprise. He likes to say that the Enterprise is "the most charming Girl"."

If we look at the future world a few years later, Malashenko has said countless famous sayings in his life.

However, there is a saying that was spread throughout the Western world through the memoirs written by Jack, so that it has become a favorite among the future U.S. Navy in this changed timeline, used to describe how much a naval sailor cherishes himself. It is applicable to wives and lovers in all kinds of confession and proposal situations, and has become a "universal earthy love phrase for the Imperial Navy".

Jack will never forget the affectionate look in Malashenko's eyes as he looked at his lover's back in the kitchen when he said these next words. This influenced a more important decision Jack made during the Cold War a few years later.

"You know? She is the only Lexington in my life."
