Chapter 2904
After entering the tent, Sokov said to Polytic: "Comrade Colonel, you have entered the defense zone of our brigade. What are your plans next? Should you stay here and fight with us, or go to the Army Command to receive a new mission?"
Belkin, who followed him in, said to Sokov: "Comrade Brigade Commander, after they came here, I immediately reported the situation to the headquarters."
"What do you say to Comrade Commander?"
"Comrade Commander is not in the headquarters." Berkin replied: "It is said that he received a notice from General Zhukov and went to the Front Command."
"Oh, so that's it." Sokov raised his hand and looked at the time. "I'll call the headquarters to see if the commander has returned."
After saying that, he picked up the phone on the table and called the Group Army Command.
After the phone was connected, a strange male voice came from inside: "This is the duty room of the Army Command."
Sokov guessed that the person who answered the phone should be the staff officer on duty at the headquarters, and hurriedly said: "I am Lieutenant Colonel Sokov, the commander of the Infantry Brigade. If there is an important situation, I need to report to the commander or the chief of staff immediately."
The on-duty counselor was originally going to ask Sokov to call him after dawn, but when he heard him say this, he immediately changed his mind and said politely: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, please wait for a moment, and I will turn the phone over immediately."
The familiar voice of Malining soon came from the earpiece: "Lieutenant Colonel Sokov, you call here at this time. Is there anything important?"
"Comrade Chief of Staff." Sokov glanced at the people standing next to him, and then said, "I want to ask, how does the headquarters plan to settle the 315th Division?"
"315th Division?" Malining heard this number and hesitated for a moment, then said, "Are you talking about the unit that just returned from behind the enemy?"
"That's right!"
Malining was silent for a moment, then said: "Your deputy once reported this matter, but since Comrade Commander has not returned yet, we have not made any arrangements for the 315th Division for the time being."
"Comrade Commander hasn't come back yet?"
"Yes, haven't been back yet."
When Sokov learned that Rokosovsky had not returned to the Army Command, he couldn't help but feel anxious: "What should we do with the 315th Division?"
"Lt. Colonel Sokov, don't worry." Malining said: "You must be very tired after rushing for such a long time. Let's take a break first. It's not too late to come to the headquarters to discuss this matter after dawn."
"Okay, I get it."
After Sokov put down the phone, he apologized to Politic and Harlanchuk: "Two commanders, since the commander has not returned yet, the Chief of Staff Colonel Malining cannot make any arrangements for you for the time being. Why don't you go and rest first? After dawn, I will take you to the Army Command?"
"Lieutenant Colonel Sokov, since this is the case, then let's go and rest first. If there is anything, I will talk about it after dawn."
After Sokov ordered Romanov to take the two of them to rest, he saw Khabarov standing in the corner and remembered that the other party had appeared in front of him for so long, but for various reasons, he had time to understand the reason for the other party's disappearance, so he pointed at him with his hand and said, "Anton, come out with me, I have something to ask you."
Khabarov was happy when he heard this, and hurriedly followed Sokov out of the tent and walked towards the nearby no one.
After arriving at an open area far from the tent, Khabarov looked around and found no figures, and then he asked with some urgent questions: "Misha, are you?"
Sokov did not answer immediately, but looked around. He knew that if his and Khabarov's next words were heard by outsiders, it would probably cause a stir, so he should be cautious and see the surrounding environment before talking.
After looking around and confirming that no one eavesdropped on his conversation with Khabarov, he spoke, "Anton, what did you just say? Did you know me before?"
Khabarov grinned, "Misha, I remember when you asked me for my name, I only said that my surname was Khabarov. What was his specific name, but I didn't say it to anyone. But you can call out my real name Anton in one word, but it still cannot be said that you are the Misha I know?"
At this moment, Sokov did not hide it, so he nodded and admitted: "Yes, I am Misha."
Seeing that Sokov had admitted his identity, Khabarov grabbed his hand and asked excitedly: "Misha, why did you come to this era?"
Sokov glanced at him and said unhappily: "We have come to this era for no reason while looking for you. I am still having a headache. How can I go back to the future?"
"'We'?" Khabarov noticed that Sokov was talking about "we" rather than "me", and couldn't help asking curiously: "Misha, who else has come to this era besides you?"
"It's a policeman who accompanied me to find you." Sokov explained to Khabarov: "After you and another person disappeared underground in the Hoflin Hospital, my friend and I went to your missing location to try to find your whereabouts. Unexpectedly, I accidentally fell into a deep pit. When I woke up, I found myself appearing in the wilderness near Kiev."
After Sokov spent more than ten minutes telling his experience, he asked back: "Anton, can you tell me how you came to this era?"
Khabarov was silent for a moment, then said, "We went to the underground expedition of Hoflin Hospital. But after walking far, we encountered a road collapse and the group was trapped in a room. Braun and I took the initiative to explore the way. We found a soft soil and started digging, trying to dig a passage. Unexpectedly, as we dug, the passage collapsed again, burying both of us below. When I woke up, I found that we had come to this era."
"Where is your companion named Braun?" Sokov asked.
Khabarov shook his head and said with a bitter face: "After I woke up, I found myself in a town full of ruins, surrounded by fleeing people. I asked someone and found out that the war was going on. In order to survive, I could only escape with them. But on the way, I was surrounded by the Germans in an air-raid shelter, and then rescued by the soldiers."
When Sokov heard this, his face showed a shocked expression: "Wait, Anton, according to you, it hasn't been long since you came to this era?"
"Yes." Khabarov thought for a moment and gave an accurate answer: "Today is the third day I have come to this era."
"But, I came to this era by accident after you disappeared. Now it's been more than two months. How could you only have been three days?"
"I don't know much about the specific situation." Khabarov shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "I guess the time flow rate we have experienced is different, so although the time between traveling back and forth is only one or two days apart, the time error of coming to this era is the difference between three days and two months."
This matter was too complicated, and Sokov had no intention of figuring it out. What he was most looking forward to now was to return to the future as soon as possible, so he asked Khabarov: "By the way, your friend is Braun, and this name doesn't sound like a Russian."
"You're right, he's not Russian, but German."
After hearing this, Sokov twitched violently at the corner of his eyes and asked in confusion: "Anton, why are there Germans among your friends?"
"Braun is also a dig party. When he came to Moscow, he wanted to find some valuable cultural relics on the battlefield in the past." Khabarov explained to Sokov: "Who knew that he was not lucky. An accident happened when he followed us for the first time."
"Do you know where he is?"
"I don't know." Khabarov shook his head and said, "I just said that after I woke up, I found that I was the only one, and Braun was missing. By the way, Misha, the policeman who traveled with you, do you know his whereabouts?"
"Of course, of course, I know." Sokov nodded and said in a sure tone: "She is now in Moscow and is an ordinary police corporal."
"Ah, is she a woman?" Khabarov said in surprise: "I just heard you say that a policeman went deep into the ground with you to find our whereabouts. I thought it was a male policeman, but I knew it was a woman."
"If my guess is correct, we have four of us who have arrived in this era. I'm afraid we will have a chance to return to the future after everyone has gathered together."
Khabarov's emotions became excited when he heard that he could return to the future: "Misha, do you have any way to get us back to the future?"
"I've watched a movie "We're from the Future" before, and you recommended it to me." Sokov looked at Khabarov and asked, "Do you remember?"
"Remember, of course." Khabarov began to recall the plot in the movie: "In the process of hunting treasures, the four digging parties in the movie met the old lady who gave milk. She must have helped her find her missing son and retrieved her silver cigarette box. The four of them were drunk at that time and agreed to the old lady's request casually. When they went swimming in a nearby lake, they unexpectedly came to the Patriotic War. The general plot was like this."
"Yes, it's true." Sokov nodded and said, "Later, when they were performing reconnaissance missions, they were unfortunately captured by the German army. In the wooden house where they were imprisoned, they unexpectedly met the old lady's son and obtained the silver cigarette box in his hand. After escape, they participated in another battle. After the battle, they returned to the lake again, and when they returned to the future."
"Misha, it's like playing a game. We have to complete a specific task before we can continue to the next level." Khabarov said thoughtfully: "That is to say, if we want to return to the future, we must first get all four of us together. You're right?"
"Well, I think this should be the case." Sokov nodded and said, "Now you, Victoria and I, have appeared. But your German friend Braun has no whereabouts now. Only by finding him can we have a chance to return to the future."
When talking about finding Braun's whereabouts, Khabarov's face showed a bitter expression: "Misha, I have a bad premonition. Maybe Braun is in the German camp at this moment, and finding his whereabouts is more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack."
"If so, it's troublesome." Sokov said with some headache: "Unless we know which unit he is in the German army, we have a glimmer of hope to find him."
"Misha, don't worry." Khabarov comforted Sokov and said, "Don't we already have three people now? I believe it will be a matter of time before we find Braun."
"I have never seen what Braun looks like, and even if we meet, I'm afraid I can't recognize him." Sokov said to Khabarov: "I don't think so. Just stay by my side as a guard. This is also necessary when we catch German prisoners of war, you can check on my behalf to see if there is Braun inside."
"It seems that this is the only way. I will stay by your side for the time being." Khabarov nodded in agreement with Sokov's proposal and was willing to stay by Sokov's side as a guard. He asked curiously: "I just saw a young man in the tent, who is he?"
"That's Romanov," Sokov said casually: "The future is an amazing big shot."
"The great man in the future?" Khabarov began to frown and think after repeating Sokov's words.
Seeing that he was reluctant to speak, Sokov was about to tell him who the Romanov William, who was valued by him, was surprised to hear Khabarov say, "Misha, have you called the other party's name wrong?"
"Did you call the other party's name wrong?" Sokov looked at Khabarov in confusion, not understanding why he said that.
Seeing Sokov looking at himself with a puzzled look, Khabarov explained: "If I read it correctly, he should be Grigory Vasilyevich Romanov. His surname is Romanov, not Romanov. Misha. I remember that every time you read these two surnames, you always like to confuse them."
After hearing what Khabarov said, Sokov couldn't help but blush. He did pronounce "Romanov" as "Romanov".
"Yes, right, right, it's Romanov." Since it was his own mistake, Sokov naturally followed the good: "I was wrong."
Khabarov seemed very excited to confirm that the young man he had just seen was Grigory Romanov, who had great achievements in the future. "Misha, you should know the future achievements of this person, right? I have thought it through now that even if we can't go back to the future, as long as we have a good relationship with Romanov, we can make a name for ourselves in the future."
"I do know Romanov's future achievements." Sokov reminded Khabarov: "So we must try our best to ensure his safety, otherwise if something unexpected happens to him, the history we know will definitely deviate. Therefore, we must try our best to avoid this."
"I know, Misha." Khabarov assured Sokov: "I will do my best to protect Romanov's safety."
