Chapter 238 Firmly Control the Fourth Division

"Report to the commander, Lieutenant Colonel Tikhonov is here to respond." A few days later, a dusty armored commander rushed from the Far East to the headquarters of the 4th Armored Division.

Although Andrei's current position is the staff officer of the Moscow Military District, as his former subordinate, Tikhonov still likes to call him commander. Although it has only been a few months, almost all the troops in Hokkaido have a good impression of this young commander.

"Tikhonov, were you complaining on the plane about which bastard gave the order to send me back to Moscow?" Andrei asked Tikhonov while sitting in a chair.

These words made Tikhonov's face turn red. Indeed, he had said such words on the plane. When he received this order, Tikhonov's face was full of dissatisfaction.

Go back to Moscow? What's in Moscow? There's no war to fight there! Even though it's the heart of the country, even though he was promoted to the rank of division commander, Tikhonov still didn't want to go there. Now, the island country has gathered several tank divisions in the southern part of Hokkaido, and the war can start at any time! At this time, he was transferred back!

"It was I who suggested to Marshal Ogarkov that you be transferred back." Andrei said, "Remember, no matter what position you are in, it is for our Soviet Union, whether it is fighting or the reform of the Fourth Tank Division now! It is all for the strength of our Soviet Union and for the protection of our country! In revolution, there is no distinction between high and low, and no distinction between positions!"

Tikhonov stood up straight and saluted Andrei: "Yes, Comrade Commander, I will definitely contribute my strength to the strength of our Soviet Union in my new position. But what is this reform about?"

After rushing back from afar, Tikhonov was still very puzzled, wondering what the 4th Tank Division was doing mysteriously.

"Equip us with advanced technology and equipment, and make the situation transparent and the command flat through advanced command systems and battlefield transmission systems. All of this is under discussion. If the reform is successful, one tank division will be more powerful than the two existing tank divisions." Andre said, "When you come back this time and become the commander of the 4th Tank Division, the burden on your shoulders will be heavier. Not only do you have to promote the reform of the army, but you also have to firmly control this army. You may have heard that a large number of soldiers from the 4th Tank Division retired. Those soldiers all came here to make a living. The combat effectiveness of the 4th Tank Division is very low."

The reorganization of the 4th Tank Division has of course spread to the whole army. The other armies of the Moscow Military District are now stepping up their combat skills training. After all, this is just a warning to others. Who knows which unit will be targeted next. This has started with the top military leaders. For example, the commander of the 4th Tank Division, Colonel Mironov, has been forced to retire! He was promoted to the rank of division commander and would have been promoted to major general in the next step. But at this moment, he suddenly became a civilian. This guy is really unlucky.

Fortunately, this was just a military reorganization, not a purge. That was a time when everyone was in danger.

"I know, Commander. Don't worry. Within half a year, I will turn the 4th Tank Division into an iron army as strong as the 67th Regiment!" said Tikhonov.

"How many people did you bring back this time?" Andre asked.

Not only was Tikhonov transferred back, but a group of troops from Hokkaido were also mobilized.

"I brought 300 people with me. They are the most experienced and powerful soldiers in the tank regiment." Tikhonov said: "They must be cursing me in their hearts now."

"Okay, these 300 people must become the backbone of the 4th Tank Division, play their leading role in middle-level leadership positions, and transform the 4th Tank Division!" said Andre.

Tikhonov uses his own men most easily. By bringing these people with him, he will also bring the spirit of the 67th Regiment. Of course, on the other hand, it will also allow him to firmly control this army!

Those young masters have left, and the 4th Tank Division will become the most powerful force in the Moscow Military District! If anything happens, this is a powerful force!

Andre's heart was tense and he dared not relax.

………

Moscow, Kutuzovsky Prospekt 173.

"Father, you must help me! It's all because of Andrei! If it weren't for him, I would be the commander of the 4th Tank Division now!" Shelov looked at his father, General Tsvigun, with a look of unwillingness and anger.

Because of cheating in the exercise, which resulted in the death of a comrade, Lieutenant Colonel Shelov was brought to a military court. The final result, of course, was nothing. With the help of General Tsvigun, the military court finally acquitted him. However, he could not stay in the army and his rank of lieutenant colonel was not retained. He returned home in disgrace.

This made Shelov very angry. He certainly did not think it was his own problem, and always believed that it was Andrei's personal revenge.

"Father, Ekaterina originally liked me because of Andrei! Now, Andrei has taken my woman away, and that's not enough, he is even retaliating against me! I must avenge myself!" Seeing that his father didn't say anything, Shelov continued to make his demands.

"Enough!" General Tsvigon raised his voice and said to his disappointing little son, "You were in the tank division, and you actually used buried explosives as targets to deceive your superiors! When you really get to the battlefield, do you still want to come back alive? You always go the wrong way! I sent you to the 4th Tank Division and placed great hopes on you! But what about you? You disappoint me so much! Shelov, reflect on your mistakes at home! If you don't want to stay at home, just go to work at the city government!"

As the son of a general, Shelov did not have to worry about his job. As soon as he was fired from the tank division, General Tsvigun found him a position in the Moscow City Government.

"No way! I won't go there to be a clerk! If I go there, I have to at least be the head of a department." Shelov turned his head and walked back.

Looking at the back of his disappointing son, General Tsvigon's hands were shaking with anger. Originally, I thought he had become a better man in the Fourth Tank Division! If he could become the commander of the Fourth Tank Division, I would be more confident. But now... the Fourth Tank Division is in Andre's hands. However, this kid is stubborn and will not change. He is not to be feared.

"Ding-ling-ling." Just then, the phone on the table rang.

Picking up the phone, General Tsvigun's tone suddenly changed: "What? The General Secretary is ill? Yes, Comrade Chairman, I will go to the headquarters immediately and go with you to visit the General Secretary."
