Big Time 1958

Chapter 16: Decathlon

This is really good news. Looking at Serov, who was doing abstract sketches, Issemothny showed a meaningful smile. Serov, who had no idea that he was being tricked, completed the vase and handed the drawing board directly to him. Lucani, let her secretary deliver to the teacher. Serov, who is famous in the art department for his abstract sketches, naturally couldn’t let ordinary students see his great works. So after creating this genre, he found a teacher for himself, who was a KGB sketch expert. .

“I think my painters seem to be a lot better! What do you think?” Serov checked himself, and then looked at Issemotny with expectant eyes, his hands clasped together, and there was a rare trace in his expression. Nervous, it is quite similar to the children who completed their homework and waited for the teacher’s praise when they were young.

Isemotny looked at Shelov’s work with a hint of shock, and then a sly smile rose on the corners of her mouth and said, “It’s a little bit of progress, as long as you can see the progress!”

“Oh, that’s good! I don’t think my fingers are shaking anymore…” Serov rubbed his hands twistingly, looking quite relieved, obviously trusting the top students who graduated from Garzna’s Secret Service City. In fact, with his memory that is getting stronger and stronger now, he can completely remember the two little girls, Issemottny and Lucani. There was no painting course at all during the training process. That is to say, the two little girls’ The conclusion is completely unreliable…

What kind of temperament does a soldier king have, like muscles like gas explosions? Or the kind of temperament that stands out from the crowd, with sharp eyes? At least Shelov didn’t feel any superiority in seeing this group of soldier kings selected from various units. It was obviously a group of ordinary people there.

These are from the Taman Division, the Dzerzhinsky Division, the Police Corps directly under the Secret Police Headquarters, the GRU Instructor and Guidance Brigade, and as for the rest of the people, their troop prefixes are either red flags or guards! There is also an airborne soldier, each of which has a glorious history and has survived the famous battles on the Soviet-German battlefield.

These pacesetter-level soldiers from different systems, wearing the military uniforms of their respective units, stand together without the imposing manner of elite soldiers. Mixing and matching various military uniforms is more like a mob.

“You can’t use common sense to figure it out!” Serov, who was almost blinded, comforted himself silently. Except for the color of the uniforms of the naval infantry, almost all the Soviet uniforms had appeared in front of him. At least it’s still a standard military posture, and it’s really difficult for the GRU soldier, the AK47 assault rifle has only been in service for a few years, and he can use it like the M1891 Mosin-Nagan rifle. There seems to be engraving on the butt. Can GRU’s weapons be used casually?

“Welcome all comrades to the Third General Administration as guests. Everyone is a soldier, so I naturally feel close to you when I see you!” At this time, Serov forgot his duty to trouble the Red Army and forced himself to be a soldier and a soldier. This group of soldiers is close to the king, and it is rare to see three-star soldiers like them.

“Comrade Serov, do you have a mission to call us?” asked the Dzerzhinsky division soldier in black uniform.

Task? “Yes, I have a task for you!” Serov’s brain crashed for a while, but fortunately his response was still within the normal range and quickly filled his own loopholes, “We found the decathlon world champion Kuznetzo. Comrade husband and wrestling champion Comrade Medvedi, you and two well-known athletes. I hope you can learn from the two comrades how to strengthen the body, and also hope that our world champion can learn the perseverance in the army. …”

“It doesn’t have to be that we will lose, right? The world champion will definitely win?” Although it was only one person who protested, Serov’s words certainly didn’t just arouse dissatisfaction with one person, which can be seen from the expressions of other soldiers.

“Let the results show that you are not talking empty words!” Shelov said very coldly, it is good to have self-confidence as a soldier, but it is better to speak arrogantly after victory. Soldiers in particular should understand this. Considering the level of athletes who have been training all year round, even if these soldiers are veritable elites, Serov still thinks that the two world champions will win.

Decathlon consists of 100m run, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400m run; 110m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin, 1500m run. The results of the competition are calculated according to the special track and field all-around scoring table formulated by the International Athletics Federation, and the scores obtained from each individual result are added up. In Serov’s view, except for the limited projects such as shot put and 1500 meters, basically these soldiers should be all negative.

The location of the confrontation was selected in Kuibyshev, southeast of Moscow. This used to be the most dangerous time for Moscow during the Great Patriotic War. The base camp where the Soviets launched a counter-offensive was different from what ordinary people think. In fact, the Soviet government did evacuate from Moscow to this place. , Of course it didn’t take long, the Soviet government came back soon after Moscow was relieved, so most people don’t know much about it.

Kuibyshev is a relatively large city around Moscow, and it has also been valued by the Soviet government. Both in terms of urban construction and the original ecological environment, it has been maintained well. Like other Soviet cities, there is still a People’s Stadium that is similar to other cities. , as to whether it is the same drawing is unknown.

Perhaps because of the vast area and sparse population, the temperature here is much colder than Moscow. Serov, who was wearing a cotton hat, put his hands in the sleeves of his coat and held it in front of his stomach, just like a proletariat who has been tormented by years. The image of a worker walked into the stadium with a long breath. The seats inside were empty. Judging from the thickness of the snow, it had not been put into use throughout the winter, but the stadium’s track and other facilities had been cleaned.

“Hello, comrades!” As soon as Serov came in, these people looked at him strangely, but he didn’t know what was going on.

It’s no wonder, if it weren’t for the two female secretaries who followed Serov wearing bright mink coats, Serov would look pretty good in this way, but such a comparison makes Serov more and more rubbed…

“Comrade Kuznetsov, Comrade Medvedi! I have recruited ten pacesetters from various units, they have achieved very dazzling achievements in the revolutionary army, and they will compete with you in wrestling and decathlon. Confrontation on the project. After the confrontation, you also have to follow the soldiers to carry out military training in field survival, of course, including me…” Shelov finally pointed his finger at himself, and he, the director of the field survival training, also wanted to participate.

【I seem to understand what the problem is, the root cause is that I seem to be too timid now, and I can’t let go when writing chapters. The good thing is to do it and not to be cowardly, or to fan the flames in the world is the king’s way… 】
