Chapter 351
Early in the morning, Yuri woke up from a deep sleep. What woke him up was a small alarm clock on the bedside table.
The shape of the alarm clock is very interesting. It is a shape of the Soviet army conquering the Reichstag in Berlin, with words celebrating Victory Day on it. Obviously, this is a special edition small alarm clock celebrating the victory of the Great Patriotic War.
Beside him, the blushing Angelica was still sleeping. No one knew what kind of sweet dream this woman had. Her sexy lips were slightly upturned, and there were two shallow dimples on her cheeks. A few strands of hair were scattered from her forehead, half covering the corners of her lips, making her look quite sexy.
The floor-to-ceiling window in the room was covered with curtains, and only a pink table lamp on the bedside table was on, illuminating only the part of the bedside, while the light in the entire room seemed a little dim.
Yuri sat up from the bed, walked barefoot to the window, reached out and pulled open the heavy curtains. Immediately, bright light shone in from the window, driving away the darkness in the entire bedroom.
Angelica on the bed groaned in dissatisfaction, rolled over in bed with her butt facing the window, and covered her head with the pillow, trying to sleep a little longer.
Yuri turned his head to look at her, and seeing her long legs exposed under the thin blanket, with the torn stockings still wrapped around her skin, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out to gently stroke her legs.
"Hmm..." Angelica groaned in dissatisfaction and pulled her legs under the thin blanket to avoid his harassment.
However, Yuri was obviously not so easy to get rid of. He looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table and felt that there was still time, so he laughed and jumped onto the bed. Soon, indescribable sounds were heard in the bedroom.
After an unknown amount of time, the bedroom returned to silence again. Lying on the bed, Yuri lay on Angelica's snow-white body, his face buried in her slender neck, breathing heavily while recovering his exhausted energy.
Angelica put her arms around his back, stroking his sweaty back and said, "Let's have a child. I want a child. Well, maybe I can apply for an easier job so that I can take better care of the family in the future. What do you think?"
Yuri did not answer directly. He raised his head from his wife's neck and kissed her moist lips. He said, "I will support any decision you make. If you want to make more progress, I will support you as well."
Angelica shook her head, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't. She just reached out and patted his butt, then changed the subject and said, "If you don't get up from me, you'll be late. You were just promoted yesterday, and if you're late today, people will gossip about you."
Yuri chuckled, buried his head in his wife's chest and nibbled it twice, then turned over and got up from the bed and quickly went to the bathroom.
As a husband, he knew very well what his wife meant by what she had just said. The so-called application for a less stressful position was actually equivalent to quitting the struggle for a career in politics and finding a job with little real power to retire in.
Anteliya used to be a very ambitious woman, well, you could say a strong woman. It was definitely not an easy thing for her to climb to a core position in the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of Ukraine at the age of more than 20, not to mention that she has now entered the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Youth League.
Of course, Yuri's influence is inevitably at work, but there is no doubt that Angelica herself is indeed working very hard.
It is such a woman who is now ready to give up her ambition and focus on taking care of her husband and children. This must be a very difficult decision in itself. However, from another perspective, it is also a wise decision.
Yuri has a bright future, which can be seen by almost everyone in the core of power in the Soviet Union today. Comrade Stalin, who has a bad temper, admires him very much. It can even be said that Comrade Stalin promoted him. From a small second lieutenant to the current Soviet marshal, the leader of the second echelon in the core of power, every step of Yuri's promotion is closely related to the promotion of Comrade Stalin.
Yuri himself may not understand this point now. If we talk about direct descendants, he is actually Comrade Stalin's true direct descendant . He grew up step by step under the gaze of Comrade Stalin. In other words, he is actually a hero created by Comrade Stalin himself. Among all the existing Soviet marshals, none of them has the same experience as him, and none of them has the advantages that match him.
Now, no one can say how much Yuri will grow in the future, but what is certain is that as his wife, Angelica will have to make certain sacrifices.
Frankly speaking, Anjelia received a lot of help from her husband during her promotion, but at the same time, as Yuri's wife, her promotion ceiling is not possible. It is impossible for the wife of a member of the Central Committee to be the main leader of a key department. This is to be criticized. Therefore, Anjelia's choice to quit the official career and enjoy the life of raising a husband and children is a truly wise choice. Otherwise, sooner or later someone will come to talk to her about this issue.
Of course, this is a wise choice not only because of the impression that voluntarily withdrawing from the organization will bring, but also because this kind of sacrifice in career will help to improve family relationships. After all, Yuri is a very philandering man, and this is almost known to everyone. The sacrifices that Anjelia made in her career will more or less have some impact on Yuri. This may not stop him from picking wild flowers, but it will make him pay more attention to family issues.
Angelica was well aware that her husband had some unclear women outside, and she even knew that several of them had maintained abnormal relationships with him for a long time. However, she didn't care about these. What she needed was to have such a family and Yuri was her husband.
It is not easy to be the wife of a powerful man. While enjoying the highlight moment, you have to be prepared for another kind of hardship. Angelica has always been wise and she knows how to choose.
When her husband brought back the Marshal Star, Angelica had already made a decision. She was even prepared to fire the chef at home. From now on, she would let her husband eat the meals she cooked. No matter how good her cooking skills were, she had to make her husband familiar with and even get used to everything about her. In her opinion, this was the most important thing to maintain a family.
At five minutes past seven, Yuri left the villa and went out.
There were three cars parked on the path outside the villa courtyard, one was the car that Yuri had always been riding in, and the remaining two were GAZ military jeeps. In the two jeeps were his guards, all of whom were from the guard force of the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs - yes, with his promotion to marshal, his guard standards also changed. All his previous guards were replaced with brand new ones. At this point, he could no longer make decisions on his own.
The power you enjoy will determine the constraints you will be subject to. In this regard, the Soviet Union did a very good job during the Stalin era.
As usual, the first thing to do after leaving the villa in the early morning is to go to the construction site of the Palace of Soviets. The purpose of doing this is not to check the progress of the project, but to remind everyone involved in the project that the Kremlin attaches great importance to this project, so both the construction period and quality must be done to the best.
After a tour of the construction site of the Palace of Soviets, he arrived at the Kremlin before 8:30. At 9 o'clock this morning, Comrade Stalin was going to hold a meeting in his office. It was a core meeting on the development of nuclear weapons. In the past, Yuri was not qualified to attend such meetings. All he needed to do was to handle the part of the work he was responsible for. But now, he received a notice to attend the meeting. On the one hand, this showed his promotion in status, and on the other hand, it also indicated that Comrade Stalin needed him to have a comprehensive grasp of the entire project.
Why did Comrade Stalin need him to have a comprehensive grasp of the entire nuclear weapons development project? Yuri didn't know the reason, but he felt that this would not be a bad thing.
Perhaps because it was quite early, there were not many people downstairs of Comrade Stalin's office building in the Kremlin. There were only a dozen cars parked in the parking lot in front of the building.
When Yuri got out of the car, he happened to see Academician Ioffe, the president of the Academy of Sciences with a big forehead, walking towards him from the corridor opposite the parking lot. His huge forehead was shining in the sunlight, giving people a greasy feeling.
Yuri hesitated for a moment, wanting to wait for the old man to come over and go upstairs with him, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.
Old man Yofei is now an important person in charge of the weapons development project, and is also in charge of specific technical work. His identity is relatively sensitive, and Yuri doesn't want to cause trouble for himself. Therefore, he pretended not to see the shiny forehead and walked quickly towards the stairs in front of the building.
"Yuri, Comrade Marshal Yuri Arkhipovich," he didn't expect that he had only taken a few steps when he heard the old man's voice calling him from behind.
Yuri stopped and turned to look in the direction of Yofei, only to see that he had quickened his pace and was jogging towards him.
"Good morning, Academician Yofei," Yuri couldn't leave the old man alone at this time, so he could only greet him with a smile.
"Good morning," Ioffe a little out of breath, "Comrade Marshal Yuri Arkhipovich, I want to talk to you."
