Beria is indeed a treacherous treacherous person, and this order can be said to be effective in one fell swoop:
The first is that this can further consolidate the connection between Shulka and even the 8th Infantry Regiment and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Previously, Shulka's proposal to abolish the political commissar system was deliberately leaked. Now, Shulka and the 8th Infantry Regiment are appointed as instructors for the Internal Affairs Force and the Border Guard Army. This clearly means that he is closing the distance with the military and using practical actions to tell the truth.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the military is a comrade-in-arms of the military, not an enemy.
Secondly, it can enhance the combat effectiveness of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' army in a series.
Enhancing combat effectiveness is secondary, because the combat tasks of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are not urgent. The enemies they mainly target are domestic guerrillas, searching for traitors, and public security. Only when the front line is in emergency, regular troops will occasionally join the front line to fight.
But the result of weak combat effectiveness is that it cannot be recognized by the army... The army is a very realistic unit. They only respect those troops who can fight and fight hard. Everything else is just a cloud, especially in wartime.
This is also one of the reasons why the political commissar system was abolished by Stalin, because the main contradiction at this time was definitely the contradiction between the national army and the enemy rather than the internal political struggle.
Therefore, Beria hopes that the internal affairs force and the border guard force can also become a force with combat effectiveness and respected by the military.
In the end, Beria's move actually helped Shulka escape the siege.
You must know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Political Department are potential competitors. At this time, Shulka is being criticized by the Political Department. If the 8th Infantry Regiment continues like this, it will be difficult to perform or even increase many variables in subsequent training and battles.
.
But if Shulka and his 8th Infantry Regiment were all recruited to serve as instructors in the Ministry of Internal Affairs... the Political Department would be the one who would suffer. To be precise, it would not only be uncomfortable, it could simply be described as "throwing yourself into a trap."
Sure enough, Kirillovic immediately expressed his opposition after hearing the news.
"No, I don't agree!" Kirillovic said: "The 8th Infantry Regiment is an excellent unit. I think it should stay on the battlefield instead of serving as an instructor!"
"Even if you are an instructor, you are still on the battlefield, Comrade Kirilovich!" Shulka replied: "We are just going to teach them how to fight, and of course we will eventually take them to the battlefield!"
"But... that's the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
"Is there any problem?" Shulka asked.
"No, there's no problem!" Kirillovic thought for a moment and then asked, "Does the High Command know about this?"
"I don't know!" Shulka replied: "I just received an invitation from the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
"So we can say no!" Kirillovic said.
"In principle, you can say so!" Shulka replied: "But I want to accept this task!"
Kirillovic said nothing more to Shulka. He immediately went to the radio station to contact his superiors, hoping to seize the opportunity.
A smile appeared on Shulka's lips.
He actually said this to make Kirillovic a little embarrassed, because Shulka knew that if Beria asked Akadiyevich to inform Shulka, then the above matters must have been arranged.
Beria is not an easy person to deal with. How could he leave such a big loophole for people from the Political Department to take advantage of?
Sure enough, after a while Kirillovic came back in disgrace and said: "The Supreme Command decided to send us to Miloway to train the 11th NKVD Infantry Division!"
"Then..." Shulka asked intentionally: "Do you agree, Comrade Kirillovitch?"
Kirillovic didn't answer, just gritted his teeth and walked out of the headquarters.
Andrianka and Mikhailovich couldn't help laughing. Andrianka even imitated Kirillovitch's accent and replied: "Of course, Comrade Shulka, I don't agree.
What else can we do?!”
Miloway had always been the focus of the Southern Front's battle before the war, and it was only now that Shulka was able to lead his troops into this long-famous city.
Perhaps it was because the NKVD troops knew that their instructor group, the 8th Infantry Regiment, was coming, so they organized a large number of people to welcome them on both sides of the street...
Later Shulka realized that this was Shulka's overthinking, and that the NKVD troops would not be so friendly to ordinary troops, even if this troop would become their instructors.
These common people organized themselves to welcome the 8th Infantry Regiment.
Of course, other troops do not have such treatment.
Because in addition to the first batch of airborne troops, there are too many troops that will pass through Miloway in the future. If the people of Miloway greet every troop, they won't have to stand on the street every day to do anything.
But the 8th Infantry Regiment is different. The people of Miloway have long heard of the "Breakout Heroes" and of course they also know about the 8th Infantry Regiment.
On the other hand, this is a brief period of peace between battles, and the motor soldiers coming and going to transport supplies will quickly bring the news out.
So, while the 8th Infantry Regiment was still on its way to Miloway, the news spread.
Perhaps it was just a simple greeting. The car soldier poked his head out of the window and shouted to the marching soldiers: "Hey, comrade! Where are you going?"
"Miloway, is there any other way down this road?"
…
Then, the motor soldiers brought the news to Miloway, and then the whole of Miloway was in a state of excitement, because the people knew that the 8th Infantry Regiment was coming.
So, when the 8th Infantry Regiment marched into Miloway, they were immediately greeted by a burst of warm cheers, with many civilians shouting on both sides:
"Comrade, are you the 8th Infantry Regiment?"
"Comrade Shulka is your regiment leader?"
"Where is he?"
…
Of course, no one dares to say who or where Shulka is.
Just kidding, Shulka didn't dare to take this risk. He knew that there were German spies everywhere, and exposing his identity in such a crowded situation would be almost courting death.
Of course Shulka was not the kind of person who would risk his life just to show off, so he chose to stay low-key in the car... At this time Shulka had completely given up on the jeep.
As for those NKVD soldiers, they are here to maintain order. This is their duty.
Twenty minutes later, the car followed the troops and drove into the 11th NKVD Infantry Division barracks.
Shulka noticed that Kirillovic's face was very serious when he got out of the car, as if he was walking to the execution ground.
As soon as he got off the car, a major came up to him. He only glanced at Srillovic, then walked straight to Shulka, stretched out his hand and said: "Hello, Comrade Shulka! I am the 11th NKVD
Division Staff Officer Gorokhov welcomes you!" (To be continued)
