Chapter five hundred and seventy-three suggestions
Upon hearing this, Colonel Akadievich spread his hands and said, "It would be great if you could answer a few questions for me!"
Shulka couldn't help but frowned.
"What's the matter, Captain?" Seeing that Shulka looked a little strange, Colonel Akadiyevich asked: "Is there any problem?"
"No, no problem!" Shulka replied: "Colonel, have you heard about the Battle of Brest Fortress?"
"Yes, of course!" replied Colonel Akadeevich.
"If your question is after that battle, then I can answer you!" Shulka said.
"What's the meaning?"
"Before that!" Shulka shook his head painfully: "I don't remember anything..."
Colonel Akadiyevich couldn't help but said "Oh", and then nodded slightly, with no surprise on his face.
Then Shulka knew that this time he made the right bet.
Colonel Akadiyevich had actually investigated him before, and might even have learned something from Okunev.
Although Shulka did not know the specific identity of the Colonel Akadiyevich in front of him, he knew that the person who could come to him at this time was definitely not an ordinary Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel.
"Not many people know this!" Shulka said: "I don't know what happened. Even my parents need introductions from comrades from the same hometown..."
"Then why are you telling me this?" asked Colonel Akadeevich.
"Because I have to say it, don't I?" Shulka replied.
"So, you don't know why you know German?"
"German? No, that's English!" Shulka replied.
"Oh, yes, it's in English!" Colonel Akadiyevich pretended to remember something wrong.
There is an essential difference between knowing German and knowing English, because Britain and the United States were allies of the Soviet Union at this time.
Shulka had actually thought about this problem a long time ago.
As an ordinary soldier, why does he know English?
Maybe Shulka could find an excuse, such as learning it from a British businessman, or having been abroad himself... The problem is that the Ministry of Internal Affairs may be able to find out every detail based on these clues.
Therefore, in order to cover up a lie, Shulka needs to make up more and more lies, and the truth will eventually be exposed.
Therefore, the best solution is not to give them any clues.
As for other things, such as Shurka's suggestions to his superiors and the development of some very useful new equipment... they can all be said to be a sudden inspiration or for survival.
This makes perfect sense, first of all because these suggestions are good for the Soviet Union, and secondly because these suggestions and the equipment have not yet appeared in this world, so there is no other possibility except that they were thought up by Shulka.
"Very good!" Colonel Akadiyevich nodded, and then continued to drink.
Shulka asked in surprise: "That's it?"
"Otherwise, what else do you think you can do?" Colonel Akadiyevich asked, and then, as if he had come to his senses, he said "oh" and praised with a glass of wine: "Votega is very good!"
Shulka couldn't help but laugh. This was probably the simplest conversation he had with the Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel.
What Shulka didn't know was that the Colonel Akadiyevich in front of him had always been more inclined to believe in "breakout heroes."
This time, Colonel Akadiyevich came to question and test, actually because of the pressure from the political commissar, or it could be said that he wanted to persuade the political commissar to find a better reason, and also had some personal interests.
"I have to say..." Akadiyevich clinked glasses with Shulka and said: "You did a great job in Stalingrad, really great! When everyone thought Stalingrad was about to fall,
At that time, you successfully stabilized your position and thwarted the enemy's plots time and time again!"
After a pause, Colonel Akadeevich moved his chair closer and asked: "But what I'm more interested in is...how did you come up with those equipment?"
"you are right……"
"Amphibious landing craft, medium-power bombs!" Colonel Akadiyevich said: "And that weird armor-piercing bomb... It sounds interesting!"
When Shulka heard this, he knew that his guess was correct. The colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in front of him was not simple. He actually knew about such things as intermediate-power bullets and fin-stabilized discarding sabots. These were undoubtedly high-level secrets.
But in other words, he was always under Akadiyevich's surveillance.
Seeing Shulka's strange expression, Colonel Akadiyevich explained: "Relax, Captain! I'm from the Sixth General Directorate!"
Seeing Shulka's confused face, Colonel Akadiyevich suddenly realized: "Sorry, the Sixth General Directorate was established before the Battle of Brest, so you shouldn't know!"
As he said this, Colonel Akadiyevich burst into laughter.
"I just suddenly thought of it!" Shulka replied: "I don't know why I thought of it!"
"inspiration?!"
"Yes, inspiration!" Shulka nodded: "I'm not even sure if those are feasible, they are just an idea!"
"All your ideas have been proven to be feasible!" Colonel Akadiyevich sighed: "Without exception, this is why the political commissar doubts you... You know, the Sixth General Directorate is responsible for the National Defense Industry and Scientific Research Center
The counterintelligence industry, so we know how incredible this is, they are supposed to find the right direction through experiments and failures over and over again, but all you have is ideas!”
Only then did Shulka realize that there was another flaw, that is, his idea was so perfect that even scientists felt inferior to it.
"This may be the power of war!" Shulka said: "I was forced!"
"Yes, the power of war!" Akadiyevich laughed: "So sometimes I wonder if I should be like you and fight the enemy face to face on the battlefield, and then on the edge of life and death,
There are those fascinating thoughts…”
At this point in the conversation, Shulka seemed to believe what Akadiyevich had said before. This might really be just an ordinary, private conversation.
Then, Akadievich sighed again: "But, you know, we each have our own tasks, what we have to do..."
Arkadyevich shrugged.
Shulka understood what Akadiyevich meant. They were not facing enemies, but more of their own people. This could be said to be a helplessness, at least for Akadiyevich.
After thinking about it, Shulka said: "Can I give you a suggestion, Colonel!" (To be continued)
