USSR 1941

Chapter 459 The Sixth General Bureau

Shulka rejected the "unreasonable" request of the soldiers, although he wanted to comply.

The ultimate result of this incident was to raise the morale of the 82nd Infantry Regiment to another level.

As mentioned before, due to the widespread phenomenon of "snitching" in the Soviet army, it is difficult to have a trust relationship among them, especially between the superior commander and the soldiers, even Shulka, the "breakout hero" No exception.

In fact, not only in the 82nd Infantry Regiment, but also in the 1st Guards Tank Brigade and even Brest.

Before Shulka was able to gain the trust of his subordinates and superiors, it was entirely because he led them to victory again and again on the battlefield...Victory means saving their lives, and at the same time, no one will be against their own lives, so Of course there was reason to believe Shulka.

However, the situation was different with the 82nd Infantry Regiment.

Shulka did not have the relationship with the 82nd Infantry Regiment on the battlefield, and at the same time he had no chance... because the 82nd Infantry Regiment was almost destroyed as soon as he entered the battlefield.

If there was one thing Shulka deserved the 82nd Infantry Regiment's credit for, it was its reputation as a "breakout hero" and the deeds it had previously advertised.

However, this is obviously not enough for the soldiers to trust Shulka to the point where they can put their lives in his hands. After all, there is a saying that "hearing is believing".

But it's different now.

It can be said that it was Valrasha who made Shurka...Walrasha made such a fuss, and everyone in the 82nd Infantry Regiment understood one thing: Shurka is a trustworthy commander, and his reputation as a "breakout hero" is well-deserved.

The reason is simple, Shulka could have left the 82nd Infantry Regiment for better unit development, but Shulka stayed for them, for the 82nd Infantry Regiment, which not everyone can do.

As a result, the eyes of the Soviet soldiers looking at Shulka soon changed, and the training went smoothly. No complaints.

Of course, some of them occasionally complain.

"My God! I just fell asleep. If we continue to train like this... before the Germans attack, we are afraid that we will be tossed to death!"

If it was in the past, such words would quickly attract a crowd of echoes, and then dissatisfaction with the instructor, Shulka, would soon spread.

But now the situation is the opposite.

"Shut up, Ananievich!" Valery reprimanded: "Comrade Shulka also didn't sleep. You may have forgotten that he was with us all day!"

"Yes! Comrade Shulka didn't need to stay here and suffer with us!"

"So, what can we complain about? Besides, Comrade Shulka is doing this in the hope of saving our lives!"

"Comrade Ananyevich!" Finally Valery said: "If you want, you can continue to sleep, I will apply to Comrade Shulka to transfer you to the logistics force!"

"No, Comrade Valery!" Ananievich immediately jumped up and hurriedly packed his luggage and replied, "I'm just talking..."

"No more voices like this are allowed in the future, understand?" Valery said.

"Understood, Comrade Valery, I'm sorry!"

What this atmosphere brings is the high morale of the 82nd Infantry Regiment... Morale can be used not only on the battlefield, but also on the training ground.

Soldiers will make them take the initiative to receive training and exercise their subjective initiative, which is different from passive training or training under the pressure of orders.

So, in just a few weeks, the 82nd Infantry Regiment was already in shape.

What these soldiers don't know is that these have always been under Shulka's control:

When Shulka and Valrasha were talking, Shulka always knew that someone was eavesdropping outside the door... Although they moved lightly, they still touched a little snow on the eaves.

Valrasha might not have noticed this, but it couldn't escape the ears of Shulka who came from the battlefield.

So Shulka, in saying those words, was partly putting on a play for them.

Of course, Shulka isn't all about acting.

In fact, Shulka had no choice at all at that time... Shulka was originally suspected by the Supreme Command, and if he relied on Walrasha's relationship to climb up at this time, he would definitely attract even greater suspicion.

Therefore, what Shulka wants is to keep a low profile.

Shulka, on the other hand, believed that Valrasha, as a sensitive person, could not go unnoticed.

In other words, she is very likely to have been followed, and she will even be tried as soon as she returns to Moscow... Shulka's refusal of Valrasha is not only protecting herself, but also protecting her.

Even Shulka knew that what he did in Stalingrad was in the eyes of the Supreme Command, but what Shulka did was very common and could even be said to be beneficial to the troops. Shulka continued to toss and turn like he didn't know.

Shulka guessed right, Shulka's every move is actually under the surveillance of the Sixth Directorate of the Soviet State Security Administration (the predecessor of the KGB).

The reason why the Sixth General Bureau is in charge is that Shulka is involved in the research and development of many equipment.

The Sixth General Directorate is responsible for the counterintelligence and intelligence reconnaissance of various defense industry targets and certain scientific research centers. The Supreme Command believes that Shulka probably hopes to break into the Soviet scientific research centers and steal scientific research secrets, especially the T34 tank.

But Colonel Akadyevich, the director of the bureau, felt very headache looking at the pieces of information in front of him.

"It's impossible, Comrade Commissar!" Colonel Akadyevich raised the telegram in his hand, and said, "If he wanted to spy on our scientific research secrets...he wouldn't provide our equipment again and again. Suggested!"

"Maybe that's his method!" said the political commissar, "A soldier, how does he know this? Armor-piercing bombs, mine-sweeping tanks, anti-tank grenades... don't you find it strange?"

"It's really strange!" Colonel Akadyevich replied. "But it doesn't make sense, Comrade Commissar! Especially armor-piercing shells!"

After a pause, Colonel Akadyevich continued: "I asked Sisoy, and his evaluation of this armor-piercing projectile was... If we can develop it, then we can easily kill the Germans. new tank! Do you think it's possible? I mean, if this guy was a spy for the Germans, he wouldn't be stupid enough to tell us about the development of this armor-piercing projectile!"
