Red Moscow

Chapter 2511

"This, maybe, maybe, probably..." Faced with the question raised by Agelina, Sokov became hesitant to speak. He secretly muttered in his heart that if Agelina stayed by his side, he would eventually... Who to choose as his wife is really unknown.

 Seeing that Sokov hesitated for a long time without explaining why, Agelina showed a disappointed expression on her face. She loosened her arms around Sokov's waist, took two steps back, and said disappointedly: "Misha, I know that in your heart, you only have your wife, and you don't look down on other members of the opposite **** at all. .”

"Agelina, please listen to my explanation." Seeing the disappointment written on Agelina's face, Sokov explained to her in a panic: "When I met you, I was just a company employee. Commander, not to mention having a translator, there was no radio station in the company at that time, so naturally there were no operators..."

Agelina interrupted Sokov before he finished speaking: "Misha, I was just giving an example. Don't I know your identity at that time? I just want to know, you Have you ever liked me?" Her words were gentle but firm, and every word seemed to be a deep affection that had been brewing for a long time, full of her deep love for him.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I can give you what you want." Sokov said softly, with helplessness and guilt in his voice.

 Hearing what Sokov said, Agelina fell silent. She suppressed the tears surging in her eyes and tried to look strong and calm.

After an unknown amount of time, Adelina finally spoke again: "Misha!" When she spoke, she did not realize that her voice became hoarse due to excitement. She felt that she and Sokov were at the Borodino train station. The reunion was a mistake. She planned to leave this sad place immediately after saying what was in her heart.

Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, she saw Sokov's expression change and he immediately rushed towards her. Agelina felt secretly happy in her heart. Just when she was about to open her arms and hug the other party, she felt that the other party grabbed her arm forcefully and pulled her aside.

Because Sokov used too much force, Agelina felt the pain coming from her arm. She lost her voice and said, "Misha, what are you doing?" At the next moment, she found Sokov standing in front of her. He also pulled out the pistol from his waist, as if to isolate himself from some danger.

"Misha," despite the fact that Agelina is a senior agent, fear still showed on her face when she encountered inexplicable danger: "What happened?" When she asked this, she was still thinking, The war has been over for a long time, will enemies still appear here?

“A fox appeared out of nowhere and approached us quietly.” Sokov, holding a pistol, said without looking back: “I was worried that it would attack you, so I pulled you over.”

 When she learned that Sokov had found a fox, Agelina was not nervous. On the contrary, she asked curiously: "Fox, where is the fox?"

“Here!” Sokov pointed to a snow nest more than ten meters away and said, “Hidden in that snow nest.”

Agelina looked in the direction of Sokov's finger, and sure enough she saw a golden fox in the snow nest. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a beautiful red fox!"

Seeing Agelina's expression, Sokov suddenly realized that he seemed a little nervous. In Russia, foxes are cute animals and are not aggressive. Also, the fur color of the red fox is not red, but yellow.

Although Russians think that foxes are cute animals that are not aggressive towards people, Sokov dare not take it lightly. After all, he is not a real Russian. He knew very well that if Agelina stepped forward to pet the red fox like a kitten, she would definitely be in danger. Therefore, while preventing Agelina from stepping forward, he still aimed the pistol in his hand. The red fox in the snow nest will pull the trigger without hesitation as long as it dares to get closer.

The red fox stood in the snow nest, staring at the two people not far away. After staying for a long time, he finally jumped out of the snow nest and ran towards the distance.

Watching the red fox leave, Sokov breathed a sigh of relief. He put the pistol back into the holster, turned to Agelina and said, "Agelina, let's go back."

 “Okay!” Agelina agreed, took Sokov’s arm, and prepared to walk back.

Unexpectedly, the two of them had just walked a few steps when a loud "boom" suddenly came from behind them.

At the same time as he heard the sound, Sokov once again stood in front of Agelina, and at the same time he drew his pistol and watched the surroundings vigilantly.

Soon, Sokov discovered that the place where the sound came from was exactly the direction the red fox left. On the snowy land, the black explosion spots are particularly eye-catching. Next to the smoking crater, the mutilated body of the red fox can be clearly seen.

“Misha, what’s going on? Why is there an explosion?” Agelina asked nervously.

"Landmine, it's a landmine." Sokov already understood what was going on through the observation just now. At this moment, when he heard Agelina asking him a question, he replied: "The red fox that just left accidentally stepped on a landmine..."

 “Why are there landmines?” Agelina asked puzzledly.

"This was once a battlefield of fierce fighting." Sokov explained to Agelina: "Although four years have passed since the battle, there must still be a lot of mines remaining on this battlefield. This red fox is unlucky. Well, I happened to step on one of them and blew myself up.”

“What a beautiful fox.” Agelina said regretfully: “It’s such a pity that it was blown to death like this.”

The two of them did not dare to stay, so they walked quickly towards the museum along the footsteps they had come. Sokov just wanted to return to the museum quickly, and then notify the local garrison and ask them to send people to clear the landmines on the Borodino battlefield. Otherwise, when Bagration is reburied, if someone accidentally steps on a landmine, That would be troublesome.

When he was still dozens of meters away from the museum, Sokov saw the curator, Yakov and some staff standing at the door, among whom Yakov still had a pistol in his hand. When he saw Sokov and Agelina coming, he quickly stepped forward and asked loudly: "Misha, what happened? Where was the explosion?"

“On the Borodino battlefield, there are still remaining landmines.” Sokov said to Yakov: “A red fox accidentally stepped on the remaining landmines and was killed.”

"Hell, it's been several years since the Battle of Borodino, so why are there still landmines left behind?" After Yakov said this to himself, he asked with concern: "Is everything okay with you two? "

"No, we have nothing." Sokov said to Yakov: "Yasha, you go tell the curator and ask him to contact the local garrison immediately and send people to clear the remaining mines on the high slopes, so as not to wait until Pakistan What danger happened when Gradion was reburied?" Yakov nodded, quickly ran to the curator, and relayed to him what Sokov said.

The curator learned that residual mines were found on the battlefield in Borodino. Although no one was harmed, this was a safety hazard after all. Bagration's remains will be reburied in two days. If anyone accidentally steps on a landmine, there will be a big problem.

After the curator made the call, he immediately came over and reported to the two men: "Comrade generals, I have called the commander of the local garrison. He said that they will arrange manpower as soon as possible to clear the mines buried on the hillside. .”

"When will they come?" Sokov couldn't help but feel a little scared when he thought of the red fox that was killed. If he and Agelina continued to walk forward, they might step on the landmine, and then the two of them would be killed. People become like mandarin ducks with the same fate. In order to prevent something like this from happening again, he must find a way to nip the hidden danger in the bud as soon as possible: "You won't say as soon as possible, and then you won't see anyone for a few days, right?"

 Hearing what Sokov said, the muscles on the curator's face twitched violently several times, as if he was struck by what he was saying.

Seeing the curator's expression, Yakov couldn't help but frowned: "Comrade Director, did we guess correctly that the local garrison will not appear at all in a short period of time?"

"The commander of the garrison said," the curator carefully explained, "Since we don't have engineers here, if we want to clear the mines, we must transfer engineers from other places. In this case, the delay will definitely be a bit long. "

"Where is the phone?" Although Sokov does not have a specific position now, his military rank is here. He decided to use his rank to urge the local garrison to send someone to solve this problem as soon as possible: "I want Call the local garrison commander.”

“Comrade Generals,” the curator knew that the two generals in front of him had extraordinary backgrounds, so naturally he would not offend them. He quickly and respectfully said, “Please follow me, and I will take you to the curator’s office to make a call.”

Sokov and others followed the curator to the office. The curator pointed to the phone on the table and said: "This phone can be used to contact the local garrison."

After asking for the garrison's phone number, Yakov picked up the phone and started dialing.

 After waiting for a moment, the call was connected. Yakov said into the phone: "Let your commander answer the phone... What, who am I?... Listen up, I am General Yakov and General Sokov from Moscow... How about, Can you ask your commander to answer the phone now?"

Soon, there was a different person on the other end of the phone: "Hello, Comrade General, I am the garrison commander, Captain Terelenko. Do you have any instructions?"

"Comrade Captain," Yakov said into the phone: "I am now in the museum in Borodino. Not long ago, I asked the curator to call you and asked you to send someone to clean up the debris on the Borodino battlefield. Landmine, why don’t you act in time?”

Hearing what Yakov said, Terelenko immediately began to complain: "Comrade General, it's not that I don't send people to deal with this matter, it's because we don't have engineers at all. If we want to clear the landmines, we must hire them from other places." Engineers come here. You also know that I am just a captain and I am not qualified to mobilize the engineering troops."

"Okay, okay," Yakov said "Okay" three times in a row, and then said: "Since you are not qualified to mobilize engineers and soldiers from other places, then I will contact the engineers and soldiers. You only need to send people to maintain order. This There’s no problem, right?”

"No, no, Comrade General, of course there is no problem." Terelenko said cautiously on the phone: "As soon as your engineering unit arrives, I will personally take people to Borodino to maintain order."

After seeing Yakov making the phone call, Sokov asked: "Yasha, where do you plan to transfer engineers and soldiers from?"

Yakov held his chin and thought for a while, then said to Sokov: "Misha, although I know that there is an engineering unit of more than a hundred people stationed more than 20 kilometers away from here, but I have no right to mobilize it. them."

"Then what should we do?" Sokov couldn't help but frowned after hearing this: "Although today's mine only killed a fox, who knows whether it will kill other animals in the future, or even kill... Tourists in Borodino.”

“I’ll call Comrade Ustinov to see if he can come forward and ask this engineering unit to come over and clear the mines.”

When Yakov answered the phone in Ustinov's office and explained that he needed help from engineers, Ustinov said impatiently: "Yasha, they are indeed stationed near Borodino." There is an engineering force, but to mobilize them, you need to negotiate with some departments.”

"Comrade People's Commissar," Yakov said, "I came to Borodino this time to observe the reburial ceremony of Bagration. But if the landmines are not cleared, then it is not ruled out that there will be something wrong with King Qin during the ceremony. There is a possibility of stepping on a landmine. Just now, Misha went for a walk and almost stepped on a landmine."

When Yakov was still thinking about how to persuade Ustinov, Ustinov heard that Sokov almost stepped on a landmine, and his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees: "What, Misha almost stepped on a landmine?" Landmine, are others okay?"

"It's okay, he's fine." Yakov said: "When he was wandering around the battlefield in Borodino, he met a fox that appeared out of nowhere. When the fox was frightened by him, he just stepped on it. A landmine killed him on the spot.”

"I will cooperate with the relevant departments as soon as possible and ask them to send the engineering unit there." Ustinov said to Yakov on the phone: "When they arrive, let Misha point out the exploding missile to them. Where are the mines? Also, when the engineers are demining, you try to keep a distance from them to avoid danger. Remember?"

"No problem, no problem," Yakov felt more at ease when he saw Ustinov agreeing to communicate with the relevant departments: "As soon as the engineers arrive, we will assist them in clearing the mines."

After Yakov put down the microphone, he said to Sokov: "Misha, Ustinov has promised to send engineering troops over as soon as possible. Once the engineers arrive, the mines on the Borodino Highlands will be dispatched soon. You’re clean.”

But Sokov is not as optimistic as Yakov. He knows very well that the location maps of these mines laid during the war must have long been lost, and individual mines may have been changed by the erosion of rain. Location. Even if hundreds of engineers come, it may not be possible to clear all the remaining mines overnight.
