Bagramyan smiled slightly and asked: "Do you like singing?"

Kozlov's eyes lit up: "Of course, I am the singer in the company." "Work hard and strive to become a singer like Kozlovsky!" Bagramyan encouraged him by patting him on the shoulder.

He raised a cow to drink fresh milk and get butter; raised 3-5 sheep to eat mutton skewers; raised two pigs to eat sausages and ham; and also raised a few chickens. And all of this is happening right before our eyes, and everyone knows it. When we were studying the Russo-Japanese War at the Military Academy, we laughed at the Russian general Sakharov for transporting a cow in a warm car. And our Major General Golubev went even further. Can such a general produce good soldiers? Absolutely not. What he thought of was not the motherland or his subordinates, but his own belly. His weight had reached 160 kilograms.
