Steel Soviet Union

Speaking of which, Iushkin is quite a grown man.

Most of his peers are already good at playing tricks at this time, but Iushkin is still a junior brother who has never even held a little girl's hand.

Even though he is a good player in physically conquering the German stick, when it comes to romance, Iushkin is just blind - he knows nothing about it.

"Well, there are so many beautiful girls in our division's field hospital. You can choose from blonde to black hair. There are so many good-looking girls, so you can't pick one out?"

Among the five people sitting there, only two are unmarried and have children: Iushkin and our old comrade Ma.

If Comrade Commander is not married, it may be because he is busy with official duties and burdened with trivial matters. If you mention this reason, everyone here will believe it.

But Yiushkin did nothing all day long. When he had free time, he would put his hands in his pockets and wander around. You were even lazy when you were repairing cars and moving artillery shells. Artyom was now puzzled. Didn't Iushkin spend his free time wandering around looking for prey and solving his life-long affairs? What's the point of not being able to find a wife?

To an outsider it may seem that this is the case, but what about Iushkin? But he had his own grievances, and seemed hesitant to speak, as if he didn't know how to speak.

"Okay, don't make it difficult for him."

"Whenever this boy sees a beautiful girl, he acts like a new recruit returning to the battlefield. Not to mention going to pick up girls, his legs are shaking as if he has stepped on a switch, and he stutters when he speaks. I told him last time, Thanks to the Nazis on the opposite side, they sent a group of rich and powerful men. If a group of Germanic women with blond hair and blue eyes showing their thighs came here, wouldn't you, Iushkin, have a nosebleed on the spot and faint from excessive blood loss? What a fight."

Pfft hahahaha——

As soon as Malashenko said this and before he finished speaking, Artyom, who was sitting next to Iushkin and eating meat, was the first to laugh at the top of his lungs.

"I'm going, what's the matter? Hey, I mean, Iushkin, I don't see this on weekdays. He's so majestic on the battlefield. After a while, "Artyom, hurry up! ", and then "Artyom, didn't you fucking eat, Sukka?" My sister can reload faster than you! "Why are you so cowardly and weak when dealing with this girl?"

Artyom, who had never heard of Iushkin's misdeeds, made fun of him on the spot, which made Iushkin, who was already a little embarrassed, blush as red as a monkey's butt, and he blushed so hard that his neck was thick. He wanted to defend himself but couldn't say a word, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Don't worry, I'm thinking about your kid getting married."

"When this battle is over, I will be your go-between. I will find a good-looking man for you, and I'm sure he will have a fat son. In the future, our leader will have a second-generation artilleryman who will succeed his father. I turned around and continued to fuck.”

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, you must light up a cigarette. If a man comes to the table without a cigarette or wine, he might as well sit at the table with children.

With a cigarette in his hand and smoke coming out of his mouth, the arrogant Malashenko had already decided to give Iushkin an "arranged marriage" as a "leader."

It's not that Malashenko is being feudal, it's just that, if Iushkin is such a bird, you have to let him really solve life-long affairs by himself. If he meets a girl with good character, then it's okay to say that he is a fool. You are lucky.

But you are going to meet some kind of green tea scumbag or a rotten crotch. Tsk, Malashenko doesn’t want to see such a good prospect like Iushkin ruined because of personal emotional problems. It is no exaggeration to say that Malashenko plans to help Iushkin to the senior command level. Now it can be seen that this boy has some potential in this area. He has a serious academic background and a brain that makes him think quickly. If you train more, I believe you will become a general in the future.

After talking about Iushkin, or the chatter about Iushkin's future lifelong events, Malashenko, who was holding a cigarette in his hand, knocked on the table to signal, and Artem quickly took it. The right to speak smiled and spoke.

"Me, I don't have any special circumstances or requirements."

"As for me, as you all know, I am a monk by the wayside, not a serious Red Army soldier, and I have never been to a military school."

"I'm not afraid of Comrade Commander blaming me. In fact, after the war is over, I want to go back to Ukraine and my hometown in Odessa to continue working as a shipyard worker. When the Germans came over, we dismantled and blew up the shipyard equipment. They were blown up and taken away, and they were basically completely destroyed. At that time, I was sitting on the slipway with a few workers and felt very sad. These were all the belongings we had saved little by little, and the unfinished ship. The shell is the fruit of our hard work, and it’s just wasted.”

"I swore at that time that one day I would fight back with the Red Army, drive away these Nazi bastards and rebuild everything in the past. Several of us workers agreed and swore together, and then we signed up to join the Red Army together. , take the initiative to fight against those naughties! We shipbuilders have plenty of strength! We are not short of courage, we workers are one of the masters of the country!”

"I think about it now as if it was yesterday, but that was already 41 years ago. Time has passed, things have changed, and the workers who swore with me to rebuild the shipyard and join the army to serve the country, now I am the only one left. Still alive, the last one I had any contact with was Babulski who died last year.”

"He was a pilot, flying an Il-2. He once told me in his letter that if one day he died and could not come back, please ask me to take part of his ashes back to Odessa and bury them in the new building. He is a local in Odessa like me, and we both grew up playing in the shipyard.”

"He sent me part of his ashes in advance, fearing that he would not have a chance after his death. It was part of the ashes of his left calf. During a flight combat, he was shot through the cockpit by a German anti-aircraft gun and was interrupted. With one leg, I relied on the remaining leg to step on the rudder and drove the severely damaged aircraft back to the base to land. I was lucky enough to save my life but refused to leave the blue sky. "

"After that, he wore a prosthetic leg and continued to fly into the air to fight. He took and burned the left calf that was broken in the cabin. Some of the ashes were sent to relatives who had been evacuated to the Urals, and the other part was sent to the Urals. It's here with me. Firstly, it was a thought, and secondly, it was a relic he gave to me in advance, so that I could fulfill his last wish. But he actually got it right and I actually became it. The person he had expected to fulfill his last wish."

Watching Artem take out the ashes that had been hanging around his neck and made into a necklace in a small metal tube from his clothes to display, everyone who understood the story behind the small object couldn't help but fall into silence.
