"Maybe you are right!" Major Gavrilov said: "But you can't say it, understand? No one can say it!"
"Why?" Shulka asked.
"You know why!" Major Gavrilov replied.
Then he looked around and left. Before leaving, he added: "Forget this, don't tell anyone!"
"Yes, Major!" Shulka replied.
But the answer was this, and Shulka couldn't hold it back in the end.
While squatting next to the car to eat, Shulka looked at the tanks more than 100 meters away among the bunkers, pretending to be casual and asked the actor in a low voice: "Okunev, I wonder why they don't concentrate the tanks.
Get up and use it!”
The actor was stunned for a moment, stopped biting the bread, and then replied: "It seems that you haven't recovered yet, Shulka, I thought you were back to normal!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Shulka said.
"Okay!" replied the actor: "Because Tukhachevsky wanted to do it, Shulka, remember him?"
Shulka couldn't help but say "oh".
Of course he knew Tukhachevsky. He was one of the five earliest marshals of the Soviet Union. He was a very talented military strategist and was known as the "Soviet Napoleon".
His contributions include suggesting the establishment of mechanized forces, air force, airborne troops, etc., as well as proposing the development of T34 tanks, military jet engines, etc.
But what impressed Shulka most was that Tukhachevsky proposed a military theory of centralized use of tanks and the coordination of air force, infantry, airborne and other arms... These theories were later adopted by the German army.
Proved to be completely correct.
Shulka believed that if the Soviet army was organized according to Tukhachevsky's ideas, then it would not be the German army but the Soviet army that would roam the earth.
The problem is... Heydrich, then the head of the German "security police", used a counter-intuitive plan at this time. He disguised a series of evidence of Tukhachevsky's "treason" and deliberately leaked it to the Soviet Union.
Needless to say, the result was that Tukhachevsky, together with seven generals, was arrested and executed for "treason". (Note: Rehabilitated in 1956)
Therefore, of course, the military theory put forward by the traitor Tukhachevsky could not continue to be used, because it was "a theory with ulterior motives in trying to subvert the Soviet army."
So of course Shulka cannot reiterate this theory.
"Fuck you!" Shulka couldn't help but cursed. At this time, he felt as if he was being tied hand and foot to fight the Germans, and the person who tied him was none other than the Soviets.
"Is there any problem, Comrade Sergeant?" A pair of boots appeared in front of Shulka.
Shulka looked up and saw that it was deputy instructor Olga.
"No, there's no problem, Comrade Deputy Instructor!" Shulka stood up.
"Very good!" Olga nodded: "If you have any situation or idea, I hope you can report it to me in time, understand?"
Why did he feel that he and his deputy instructor were not friendly forces on the same front, but enemies who were fighting for intrigues and wits?
Despite Major Gavrilov's repeated warnings, Shulka couldn't help but bring it up in front of General Kirponos.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, Comrade Sergeant!" General Kirponos ignored Major Gavrilov's attempts to smooth things over because Shulka had successfully aroused his curiosity.
"That's it, Comrade General!" Shulka thought for a while and said: "I think the bunker and the 'log cabin camouflage' tactic are enough to withstand the German attack. So... do we still have
Is it necessary to deploy tanks between bunkers and become bombing targets for the Germans?"
General Kilponos nodded in agreement. Deploying tanks on the defensive circle was indeed a bit superfluous.
What's more, the focus at this time is no longer the defense of the front, but the outflanking of the enemy's Central Army Group in the rear.
"So, you think we should pull the tanks back?" General Kilponos asked.
"Yes!" Shulka replied.
"And what are you going to do with these tanks?" General Kilponos asked.
Shulka hesitated for a moment and then replied: "I think they should be gathered together to form an army, Comrade General! An independent army!"
General Kilponos couldn't help but be stunned, and then he understood the reason why Major Gavrilov tried to stop Shulka.
Major Gavrilov sighed, looking helpless.
General Kilponos looked at Major Gavrilov and then at Shulka. He was silent for a while and then asked Shulka: "What are your plans? Withdraw them, but
It’s not for hiding in a bunker as a toy or for viewing!”
"Of course, Comrade General!" Shulka replied.
General Kilponos was a smart man, and he would not have withdrawn the tanks just to protect them and risk "making a mistake" by gathering the tanks together to form a force.
Shulka knew this, so of course he prepared a plan.
General Kilponos looked around, winked, and took Major Gavrilov and Shulka to a small room next to them.
It was Admiral Kilponos's lounge. The furnishings inside were very simple, with nothing else except a bed, a table and a lamp on the table.
Of course, this is just a superficial appearance.
Admiral Kilponos opened the drawer, took out a bottle of vodka from the drawer, raised it, and said: "I occasionally hide here and take a few sips!"
Major Gavrilov laughed.
This time, they didn't even ask for wine glasses. Admiral Kirponos took a few sips from the wine bottle and then handed it to Major Gavrilov.
"Speak, Comrade Sergeant!" Admiral Kilponos said to Shulka: "You can speak freely here, if Major Gavrilov will not tell the truth!"
Major Gavrilov, who was drinking from a bottle, almost choked.
"I need a map, Comrade General!" Shulka said.
Of course, maps are indispensable in the lounge. Admiral Kilponos took one out of the drawer and spread it out on the table.
Shulka pointed to the map and said: "The Kiev defense line is more than fifty kilometers away from Kiev, and the Germans will push the front all the way to the Dnieper River and outside the Kiev defense line, which will form a protrusion outside the Kiev defense line!"
"What is the purpose of this protrusion?" Admiral Kilponos asked.
"If we organize an armored force!" Shurka said, drawing an arc from the protrusion to the south on the map...
General Kilponos and Major Gavrilov couldn't help being stunned.
