The cameraman was wearing overalls and had a beard, looking like a battle-hardened old man.

Maybe this young man has also worked as a war correspondent.

Yang Mingzhi originally did not intend to make any publicity, but when the cameraman mentioned it, it was hard not to question the "various props" he used.

"Are you dressing up like a soldier? Can you provide gun models?"

"Of course!" the cameraman pointedly corrected, "We have been authorized by the army. Since you are going to join the army, you can put on the military uniform in this studio in advance. We also have firearms, but they are not props, but real guns.

"

"Oh? It's really beyond my expectation. I didn't expect that the current military recruitment department is so smart!"

The Soviet Union still implements compulsory conscription. When the war is over, it will return to the recruitment system.

Men's bravery and ruthlessness are engraved in their genes, and their violent instincts are well induced, and they will eventually become an excellent source of soldiers. Therefore, in later generations, countries that recruit soldiers, large and small, often shoot war blockbusters. In this regard, the United States

It was done to the best of its ability. Apart from commercial reasons for making money, the filming of this kind of film is a two-hour hot military recruitment film.

Who doesn’t want to make great military exploits, and who doesn’t want to look heroic?!

Yang Mingzhi continued to ask: "In that case, you only have the uniforms of ordinary soldiers and the most common rifles here."

"Of course."

"It's not suitable for me." Yang Mingzhi shook his head and unbuttoned his black Shuba coat...

Wearing a standard military uniform, the chest is full of medals, and two huge gold five-pointed stars with red ribbons are shining under the spotlight.

The person who came here was definitely not a quasi-recruit, he was clearly a veteran with great military exploits!

No! He is definitely not a veteran!

No one can win the title of Hero of the Soviet Union twice at the same time, and no one dares to commit suicide by forging medals!

He is definitely a general, and probably a high-ranking general! I am probably in a good mood today, so he paid a private visit to the photo studio incognito.

The cameraman was so shocked that he was at a loss. After he recovered, he immediately kicked his assistant, who was also at a loss, and ordered: "Go to the darkroom quickly! Invite...the curator!"

Yang Mingzhi was a little impatient: "My wife and I are just here to take pictures, you don't need to be nervous."

"No! You are a distinguished guest... you must receive the best treatment."

After a while, the legendary curator finally came.

Youdao is that many critical moments in life should be photographed. Even Stalin had to hire professionals to take pictures for him.

The director calls himself Semyonovsky. He prides himself on being well-informed and has met many military officers in the photo studio. He pays close attention to the floating prices of various commodities in state-owned stores, and also pays attention to the war situation reports in newspapers, as well as

Heroic deeds.

The presence of an officer with two Gold Star medals is truly a brilliance, and this officer happens to have an oriental face.

Who is he?

Could it be that he is.

"You...you are..."

"I..." Yang Mingzhi wanted to continue to make up an identity, but the curator directly interrupted him.

"Your medals don't lie! You must be that person. I read your story in the newspaper. It's Belekov! It's General Belekov."

Hearing this, Yang Mingzhi's kind expression suddenly became serious. He never expected that his reputation would become a household name in Moscow?

In this case, any amount of cover-up is unnecessary.

He simply revealed his true identity: "Yes, I am Belekov, and I returned to Moscow on the leader's order."

"Oh, it's such an honor to meet you! To be honest, many generals have come to our photo studio to take pictures. You are the most special customer and the customer with the most honors."

"Haha, I'm afraid he's also the customer with the highest military rank, right? I'm a lieutenant general." Yang Mingzhi said jokingly.

"Ah! I...I am so honored."

There are still more than ten photo studios in Moscow, and each studio often only has five or six people working there. Taking and developing photos are technical tasks. During the war, many such technical talents were recruited. As high-end technical troops, they often

Specialized in developing photos from aerial film taken by reconnaissance aircraft.

Semyonovsky did not have such a high technical level, so he had to stay in the city and take photos of the general public, especially those prospective recruits who were eager to go to the battlefield.

During this trip, Yang Mingzhi wore full military uniform, except for his hat.

The photo studio had genuine hats of junior officers. He thought about it and found that the current Soviet uniforms were still old-fashioned, so that the only thing that could prove the identity of senior officers was the plain military uniforms with some special parts.

Yang Mingzhi faced the camera with a dashing and heroic attitude.

Yang Tao just took off her coat and headscarf. She was dressed very simply today, but the medal on her chest showed her great military exploits, and her protruding belly echoed her military exploits, which was amazing.

Semyonovsky could not feel the majesty of this lieutenant general. He had seen many senior officers, among whom there were not many who were domineering. Everyone's personality was equal, and everyone was lining up honestly.

However, the officer had to break into the photo studio without hesitation and forcefully demanded to be the first to take the photo.

Both "Pravda" and "Izvestia" have publicized this Belekov. He is an inventor and an excellent guerrilla commander. If the person in front of you is indeed Belekov, then this man is really gentle and personable.

.

Maybe this is the Chinese. He and his wife were restrained and calm. They looked at each other casually. From his eyes, Semyonovsky could not feel murderous intent. It was a kind of murderous look that he had seen in many battles.

Stability after too much blood.

With more experience, the former young boy will become calm and sophisticated. The same is true for soldiers. Those prospective recruits who are not afraid of anything, if they have participated in several bloody battles and survived, I am afraid that their sharpness has been completely worn away.

You will neither be reckless nor fearful of war, you will just face everything calmly.

Semyonovsky wanted to know about Belekov's great experience, but there were a large number of young people joining the army during this period. His darkroom alone had more than 500 photos waiting to be exposed.

"What a pity, General. I really want to chat with you more and see the comrades queuing up behind me. I don't think we can linger any longer. Do you... do you need some props?"

"And there are props? What are they?"

"For example, a Cossack saber."

"No need." Yang Mingzhi shook his head and urged, "I'm not a Cossack, let alone a Bashkir. I'm Chinese, that's all. Take pictures quickly, don't cause trouble to other people."

The work of taking pictures is very simple and quite fast.

Yang Mingzhi stood up straight. He tried hard to stop his chest and deliberately showed all his medals. His expression was serious, and it seemed that this was the only way to show off his general style.

Yang Tao had a kind face, and she hugged her husband's left arm sideways, with her little head pressed against her husband's shoulder.

The two of them completed today's shooting with the mentality of taking ID photos...

Everything seemed to be over. Curator Semyonovsky, who pressed the shutter himself, asked specifically: "General, I must tell you that you are a general, and I can develop the photos for you in advance. I estimate that by tomorrow afternoon, you will

You can come and collect it. Do you have any other needs?"

"Yes! I want a large photo, just as our wedding photo. It needs to be at least fifteen feet. In addition, um... it must be framed for me. In addition to the largest one, I also want the original film, and the usual

Two big and small photos.”

"Your demands are a bit too much." Semyonovsky looked embarrassed, "My workload has to increase, but..."

"Is it a matter of money? It doesn't matter, I will pay cash immediately."

"Okay. Originally, the price of taking pictures and developing film is only ten rubles. According to your requirements, it will cost fifty rubles according to the regulations. We can also provide some high-end mounting materials, with several prices."

"Stop!" Yang Mingzhi quickly stopped this natural salesman, "I want the most expensive one. Is one thousand rubles enough?"

"Enough! That's enough. You need to pay a total of four hundred rubles. What do you think?"

"Can."

"Do you have any other requests?"

Yang Mingzhi felt that it was enough. He should take his beloved wife to other stores to see what else was available, just like hunting.

But Yang Tao stretched out her slender little hand: "I have a request."

"Aren't you satisfied with taking pictures?" Yang Mingzhi was a little impatient.

"No! You're here, why don't you take a few more pictures? Anyway, I'm your woman, and you wouldn't let your woman take just one picture? I see there are some props and clothes in the dressing room?"

Yang Mingzhi felt that facing the camera lens had aroused his wife's narcissistic spirit.

No matter what, I have a lot of money in my pocket for this trip, and I will definitely have enough money to make her look beautiful.

"Comrade Director, I'll do it for you. I'll pay you a thousand rubles for completing all this."

"What? A thousand rubles?! That's too much." Semyonovsky was very happy to take on a big job today, but a thousand rubles was really a huge sum of money.

The income from the state-run photo studio is handed over to the relevant committees, and most of the income is turned over to the national treasury and used as weapons purchase funds. All staff also exchange food stamps for food, and the ration for each person is only an average of 400 grams of black bread per day.

the lowest limit.

"What? One thousand rubles is too little? One must not be greedy."

"No, no matter how your wife shoots, the amount you pay is five hundred rubles. The remaining money..."

"Just use the rest as a tip! Use the money to buy some food and slightly improve everyone's food."

"Well, thank you, honorable general."

Yang Mingzhi fought hard, exhausted countless brain cells, and relied on strong luck to climb to the position of lieutenant general.
