So Shulka had a house of his own. This house was located on Lenin Street. It looked like a very ordinary unit building. Shulka owned one of the houses with about 100 square meters, three bedrooms and one living room.
.
Of course, this house was arranged by Beria, and it is fully equipped with furniture, cooking utensils, etc.
When Akadiyevich brought Shulka here, he said: "If you need anything, for example, if you are not satisfied with the decoration or accessories, just tell me and I will arrange for someone to renovate it right away! In addition... walk east along the street.
More than a hundred meters away is the market, where you can buy the ingredients or other things you need!"
"Thank you!" Shulka looked around and saw typical Russian styles, such as fireplaces, chandeliers, etc.
"This is already good!" Shulka said: "Not to mention...I'm not sure I can live here for a few days!"
Akadiyevich laughed: "In fact, if you want, Shulka! I mean, if you can become a member of the National Security Service, you know what I mean! Then live here every day and get up in the morning
Go to Work!"
Shulka nodded, but politely refused: "You know, Comrade Akadiyevich, I am needed on the battlefield! I don't think my superiors will allow me to leave the battlefield!"
Akadievich nodded in understanding.
Shulka knew that Akadiyevich did have this intention, that is, to recruit Shulka into the National Security Bureau to become one of them.
But Shulka knew that Akadiyevich's idea was wrong, and he did not understand Beria's true intention.
The reason why Beria valued Shulka so much was at least partly because of Shulka's influence in the army, which was very important to Beria.
Because as we all know, the relationship between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the army is not very harmonious, and they can even be said to be enemies.
Fortunately, Beria's rival, the Political Department, also had a bad relationship with the military.
These would not be important at all if it were in peacetime, because officers, generals, and marshals in the army are all used to review and shoot:
According to statistics, from the 1900s to the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, 5 marshals were executed, 5 first-level army commanders were executed, 1 second-level army commander was executed, and 60 of the 67 army commanders were executed.
, 16 out of 199 division commanders, 1 out of 97 brigade commanders, 401 out of 456 colonels...
In other words, what the military thinks is not important at all; they should not have any other thoughts except obeying orders.
But things changed after the war broke out.
War does not allow the army to be disorganized and without cohesion, because the result will be a collapse in the early stages of the war.
This is also the contradiction that Shulka has always faced: if you want to win the war, you must care about the life and death of your subordinates, because only in this way can the troops have combat effectiveness and a way to survive on the battlefield, and such a result is inevitable
It was "partying for personal gain" that made the troops willing to obey Shulka's orders and even ignore the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Political Department.
In this way, as the war deepens, the cohesion of the army becomes stronger and stronger, more and more victories are achieved, and the people increasingly support the army... As a result, the status of the army is getting higher and higher, even very high.
Easily grasp the right to speak.
There is a saying that "the fist is the last word", and during war, the army is the "fist", and everything else is empty.
Both Khrushchev and Beria saw this.
Khrushchev was not too worried about this aspect, because the Political Department had more direct control over the army, and they even directly participated in the command of the army, although frontline officers and soldiers were often vocally dissatisfied with the political commissar.
Beria's Ministry of Internal Affairs is clearly lagging behind in this regard.
So it is obvious that Beria will be more valuable if Shulka stays in the army and becomes a "breakout hero". If it is true, as Akadiyevich said, Shulka joins the National Security Bureau
...The result was that Beria lost contact with the military and even further offended Khrushchev and the military, while Beria gained nothing more than Shulka, a think tank.
This is obviously not what Beria wants.
From this point of view, Shulka knew that Akadiyevich was not the kind of person who plays deep-rooted politics, otherwise he would not have persuaded Shulka to join the National Security Bureau again and again. He did not realize the reality of this.
The meeting will destroy himself.
This actually made Shulka feel more comfortable.
Because at least Shulka knew that Akadiyevich’s previous contacts were not all due to wooing him. Maybe Akadiyevich himself didn’t understand the stakes involved.
"So, do you need me to bring your parents here?" Akadiyevich said, "So that when you come back from the battlefield or pass through Moscow, you will at least have a chance to meet them!"
"Is that okay?" Shulka asked.
"Of course!" Akadiyevich replied: "I'll make arrangements right away!"
Shulka was a little helpless. He was actually reluctant to bring his parents from the countryside.
Because he knew what was going on with this apartment... Beria could have assigned a separate villa to Shulka, but that would make it impossible to monitor effectively.
Therefore, Shulka believes that at least a few of the neighbors in this apartment are members of the National Security Bureau. They pretend to be couples or other families and are arranged here to monitor or protect Shulka for a long time.
house.
It felt bad to be watched, but Shulka could do nothing about it.
Because you can't escape it, even in the army, let alone in Moscow.
Just like Shulka's parents, wouldn't they be monitored in the countryside? Instead, it would be safer to bring them to the city and place them here.
So Shulka didn't think much about this. He walked directly into his room, took out the small leather bag from his backpack, then found a cabinet and threw it in.
One good thing about this house is that Shulka never has to worry about thieves.
If there is, then this thief will probably be the most unlucky one, because they will be caught and put under strict scrutiny by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the next second... These thieves will even be suspected of being German spies and sent here
A spy who steals information.
Therefore, Shulka didn't even look at the safe in the closet.
Then he lay down heavily on the bed without even taking off his shoes.
Shulka looked around, and suddenly felt a strange feeling... Although these were not arranged by Shulka, and some things were not satisfactory, Shulka finally had a place to stay.
Or it can be said that the duckweed that has been floating around finally has a root. (To be continued)
