It's actually very easy to get the handle. It only requires Major Ball to confess some information, such as home address, unit number, and some military intelligence.
As Shulka said, the point is not that this information has any military significance. An anti-aircraft artillery battalion commander would not have much valuable intelligence.
The point is that this information can prove that Major Ball was captured by the Soviet army and confessed his information.
One day, if Major Bauer is disobedient and disobeys orders, the Soviet army can also shout into the loudspeaker in the direction of the German army: "Germans, say hello to Major Bauer on your behalf..."
Of course, this information needs to be further verified, otherwise Major Ball will just make up a bunch of lies and fool Shulka and others.
When Akadiyevich went to verify the information, Major Ball said to Shulka: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Of course!" Shulka replied: "Otherwise, would I waste so much time chatting with you?"
"I mean...I will not accept the mission you give me!" Major Power said: "Such as stealing intelligence or something like that!"
"We don't need you to do this either!" Shulka replied: "If we can end this war, then we don't need to steal intelligence at all, don't you think?"
Major Ball nodded in agreement.
"But you must not think that there are no constraints!" Shulka said: "They may ask you to contact you every once in a while to report the situation, and at the same time... there will be people watching you or contacting you. I'm not sure, because I...
…”
"I know!" Bauer replied: "You are an infantry major, not from the Military Intelligence Agency!"
Bauer saw the difference between Shulka and others from his military uniform.
"I don't care about this!" Major Ball said: "Because I think what you say is right, and I will do what you say, but not for you!"
Shulka nodded: "But there is no difference, so our goals are the same!"
"So!" said Bauer: "I don't need to worry about your surveillance and control!"
Shulka shook Bauer's hand with satisfaction, convinced that he had succeeded.
"There's something, Major..." Shulka looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "I think you need to make a contribution, so that they will trust you more. If you are lucky, you may be promoted. So
Better for our plans!”
"How to perform meritorious service?" Major Power asked.
"The troops that are fighting with you now!" Shulka said: "I mean the 51st Army, the political commissar is called Shevchenko!"
"Well, let's go..."
Because the Russian language is quite convoluted, Major Ball could not learn it for a while, so Shulka had to teach him again.
"He is from Moscow. He served as the political commissar of the 1st Division of the 7th Army of the Northwest Front in Leningrad last November. This division was once surrounded by your 89th Mechanized Division on the outskirts of Leningrad. It broke through and fled back to Leningrad with heavy casualties.
, remember?”
"Yes!" Ball nodded.
"He has a son and two daughters!" Shulka continued: "The son is fifteen years old, and the daughters are nine and three years old..."
"But..." Major Power asked doubtfully, "What's the use of knowing all this?"
"Don't you think this information is similar to what we asked you for?"
Major Ball was still confused.
Shulka couldn't help but sigh. This Major Ball seemed to be an upright person, so he would not take this turn.
"Do you know who caused our troops to attack your defense line one after another during this period?" Shulka explained: "It's because of political commissar Shevchenko. If you can provide advice to your superiors...
… Let’s just say that you unintentionally mastered the private information of some political commissars when you were escaping disguised as a Russian. Coincidentally, this political commissar was surrounded and broke through in Leningrad. So, why couldn’t he have been captured by you and captured?
What about those who developed into 'spies' and were intentionally released?"
Major Ball couldn't help but say "oh".
"This private information plus some details of the Battle of Leningrad!" Major Ball said: "For example, which line of defense we successfully broke through, we can say that we know the Russians from the intelligence obtained from Shevchenko.
Deploy!"
"Yes!" Shulka nodded.
"Then..." Ball thought for a moment and said, "Do you want us to greet Shevchenko on the loudspeaker?"
"Yes!" Shulka nodded again.
"But why is this?"
"We will cooperate with you in a play!" Shulka said: "Catch Shevchenko and even postpone the attack. And you will gain the trust and reuse of your superiors, do you understand?"
Major Power suddenly understood and nodded and replied: "Understood!"
In fact, everything Shulka did was for this.
Assassinate Hitler?
Schulka knew that this had little hope. Historically, this action had even failed. Although it did split the German officer class and cause heavy losses to the German army, the German army was already at the end of its rope at that time.
Shulka only hopes to use Major Ball's hand to pour dirty water on Shevchenko... Nothing is more powerful than the enemy's "report". Then Shevchenko will at least explain why the enemy knows that
More private information about him.
Shulka knew this because he took the time to call Trufanov.
Trufanov is the commander of the army group, and he has information about Shevchenko and his previous combat experience.
When the time comes, Shevchenko will probably have a hundred mouths that cannot explain clearly.
Even if he could finally tell the truth, at least he would have to be investigated for the time being, and the 51st Army... would be able to act as planned according to the original plan.
At this time Akadiyevich came back and nodded to Shulka, indicating that what Major Ball said was true.
"We will arrange for you to return to the army, Major Ball!" Akadiyevich shook Major Ball's hand and said, "But before that, I think you should make some disguises and sort out your words.
!Wish us happy cooperation!”
Major Power seemed a little dissatisfied with Akadiyevich, so he left in a perfunctory manner.
Of course Akadiyevich wouldn't mind this, and after Major Ball left, he punched Shulka in excitement.
"Good guy! Well done, Comrade Shulka!" said Akadiyevich: "Do you know what this will bring us? This is definitely no less than winning a battle... Major Ball just
The first one, there will be a second one, and a third one in the future! The Germans’ civil strife will start from here! It’s unimaginable that you would come up with this method!”
Shulka just smiled. What Akadiyevich didn’t know was that something else he didn’t know was developing quietly. (To be continued)
