Beria does have reasons and needs to solve this problem.
This is not only a matter of improving the combat effectiveness of the troops. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the Ministry of Internal Affairs troops has always been a secondary demand for Beria. The main demand is to enhance the relationship between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the army.
But whether it is a primary demand or a secondary demand, it is required to solve the problem of the Ministry of Internal Affairs troops being arrogant and not cooperating with ordinary troops, because as long as this problem exists, the relationship between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the army will not be good.
As the saying goes, "Three feet of ice cannot be frozen in a day." This problem cannot be solved easily. Even Shulka believed that Beria had thought of asking Shulka to solve this problem from the beginning...
This problem cannot be solved by the Ministry of Internal Affairs itself, because on the one hand, the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot take action, and on the other hand, they cannot gain the trust of the military.
If Shulka, the middleman and "breakout hero" at the same time, takes action, the effect of pulling out a thousand pieces of gold can be achieved.
It doesn't get more perfect than this.
Thinking of this, Shulka felt as if he had fallen into a trap set by Beria.
This made Shulka feel a little uncomfortable, because it was Shulka who had the historical knowledge, and he should be the one who thought about the matter first, not Beria.
From this perspective, it does not mean that historical knowledge can solve all problems.
"What's going on, Comrade Shulka?" Sarayev couldn't help but ask when he saw Shulka sitting in a daze without speaking for a long time.
"Nothing!" Shulka replied: "Comrade Beria asked me to train you!"
"Of course!" Sarayev replied, feeling a little strange at the same time. They had known this for a long time.
What Sarayev didn't know was that the "training" Shulka was talking about was completely different from the previous "training".
The matter is very difficult, but of course Shulka cannot be troubled.
After a night of thinking and organizing, Shulka made several requests to Sarayev:
"First of all, change the military uniforms into ordinary infantry uniforms!" Shulka said: "Is this okay?"
"No problem!" Sarayev replied, this is not a big deal, just an order is enough.
But Sarayev didn't understand: "But, what does this have to do with military training?"
Sarayev didn't know that the point was to wear off the sharp edges of the Ministry of Internal Affairs troops, and Shulka didn't know if he could tell him his true intention. After all, this was Beria's intention. Of course he didn't tell him.
The reason for not telling.
For example, if it is clearly stated that the purpose is to build a good relationship with the military, then the military may not appreciate it when it is actually implemented.
Therefore, Shulka could not say it clearly.
After thinking about it, Shulka replied: "Any unit needs coordination, Comrade Sarayev! Especially during combat, I mean...the Ministry of Internal Affairs troops do not have many troops. On the battlefield, your
Both wings are usually composed of ordinary infantry. You need to fight with ordinary infantry and fight on the battlefield like them! So I need every one of you officers and soldiers, including you, Comrade Sarayev, to forget that you are a soldier.
You are a soldier of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you should be an ordinary soldier on the battlefield!"
"That makes sense!" Sarayev nodded, then turned and ordered to the staff: "Immediately, let each of Zahar prepare three sets of military uniforms, infantry uniforms!"
"Yes, Comrade Sarayev!"
Shulka's real purpose is to let these officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who feel that they are superior feel what it is like to be an ordinary infantryman, and at the same time, it will be easier to be accepted by ordinary infantrymen... If they always wear the uniform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I am afraid that they will never
Neither of them can integrate into the army, and the military uniform is the barrier between them.
"Second point!" Shulka continued: "No one is allowed to identify themselves!"
"What do you mean?" Sarayev asked doubtfully.
"I mean, no one is allowed to say that he is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" Shulka explained: "Whether it is facing civilians or other soldiers! Can it be done?"
Sarayev thought for a while, then nodded and replied: "Yes, of course I can!"
This is also not a big problem, at least that's what Saraev thinks so far.
Then Sarayev asked again: "What do you think we should do if our identity is exposed?"
"Then he is an ordinary infantryman!" Shulka replied.
Sarayev was a little surprised. This punishment was a bit harsh, because it meant dismissal from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
However, this was nothing to Shulka, so Shulka almost forgot about it.
"The third point!" Shulka said: "Learn and abide by the infantry regulations!"
Sarayev was a little strange and asked: "Comrade Shulka, do you want to turn us into an ordinary infantry unit?"
"That's my hope!" Shulka shook his head: "But I'm worried that you won't reach this level!"
Shulka's words surprised Sarayev. He had always thought that it would be a waste to regard the Ministry of Internal Affairs troops as ordinary infantry troops. The Ministry of Internal Affairs troops would degrade themselves, but it seemed that Shulka did not think so.
In fact, Shulka did not think so.
The troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs may have a stronger will to fight than ordinary troops, but their role on the battlefield is far inferior to that of ordinary infantry. They even cause artificial instability due to reasons such as the Ministry of Internal Affairs troops' disobedience to commands. This is Shu Shu's point.
Erka had learned this lesson before on the battlefield.
But of course, no one in the Ministry of Internal Affairs troops, including Sarayev, thought so.
"Any questions?" Shulka asked.
"No, no problem!" Although Sarayev looked unhappy, he finally nodded and replied: "They will be ready soon!"
Sarayev was right, the 11th Infantry Division was quickly prepared:
Everyone put on brand new infantry uniforms and studied the infantry regulations overnight.
In fact, it is not necessary to learn the infantry charter. The reason is that the Soviet infantry management is very chaotic. Many recruits entered the army as soon as they learned how to shoot and have no idea what the infantry charter is.
The reason why Shulka asked them to learn it was because it would let them know that the system of ordinary infantry is different from that of the Ministry of Internal Affairs troops.
"So, Comrade Shulka!" Sarayev appeared in front of Shulka wearing a new military uniform and asked: "Where should we go for training?"
"Of course it's the 51st Army!" Shulka replied: "That's the unit I'm in!"
Shulka put down the phone and found it strange to see Sarayev looking eager to try.
Then Shulka understood that Sarayev was a little unconvinced. He did not believe that the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could not compare with ordinary troops. (To be continued)
