Chapter 330: colonel
"No no..." Colonel Chernytsev looked at Shulka's sudden realization, shook his head and said, "It's not like you think, Comrade Shulka, I didn't know you because of my father! In fact, My father knows you because of me!"
Shuerka couldn't help being puzzled when he heard the words.
"I am from the 251st Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Comrade Shulka!" Colonel Chernytsev stepped forward to hug Shulka, and said with a smile: "Have you not remembered yet?"
Shuerka couldn't help but "Oh" and said, "We fought together!"
"More than just fighting together!" Chernytsev said, "You also saved my life!"
After Colonel Chernytsev said this, Shulka reacted. He did save an officer that day, but because it was too dark and the battle was urgent, he didn't even see that the other party was a colonel.
"Are you the wounded officer?" Shulka said.
"Yes!" Colonel Chernytsev nodded: "You finally remembered!"
"He was brought back covered in blood!" Dr. Anatoli continued, "I took the bullet out of his left arm, and he told me that you saved him!"
While speaking, Dr. Anatoly stepped forward and hugged Shulka, and said, "Thank you, Comrade Shulka, you saved my only son!"
"You saved me too, Doctor Anatole!" Shulka replied: "So, we're even!"
Doctor Anatoly couldn't help laughing, he sighed and shook his head, and said: "You know, Comrade Shulka, sometimes I wish he could be like you!"
As he spoke, he glared at Colonel Chernytsev.
Colonel Chernytsev couldn't help but smiled awkwardly, and said, "Can we talk alone, Dad!"
Dr. Anatoly patted Shulka on the shoulder and went out without saying anything.
"I don't think you can stay in the hospital any longer, Comrade Shulka!" Colonel Chernytsev said. A blow to our morale and confidence to continue fighting! Besides, I think what they are more worried about is that you may pose a greater threat to them on the battlefield in the future!"
Shulka nodded in agreement.
If it weren't for these reasons, they wouldn't have had to assassinate a second lieutenant at all.
"Would you like one?" Colonel Chernytsev took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and asked, "Didn't the doctor say you can't smoke?"
"Of course!" Shulka took the cigarette and lit it in front of Colonel Chernytsev.
"What are you going to do, Colonel?" Shulka asked, "I mean, the wounded!"
"It's very simple!" Colonel Chernytsev replied: "Check their injuries, focusing on the lightly wounded!"
Shulka understood what this meant.
If spies want to sneak in, they must injure themselves or each other, and this will always leave some clues...Experienced doctors can judge according to how far away they were injured based on the severity of the injury.
In addition, they can also investigate under what circumstances they were injured, what witnesses and so on.
Of course, they are not necessarily all spies, it is possible to do so to avoid war.
But what is the difference to the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, deserters will be executed anyway.
"May I make a request?" Shulka asked.
"certainly!"
"I hope you don't, Colonel!" Shulka said.
Colonel Chernytsev looked at Shulka suspiciously and asked, "Why?"
"Because the others are innocent, Colonel!" Shulka explained: "The four who assassinated me could have been all of them."
"But there may be others!"
"Yes!" said Shulka, "but for the possibility, for the one or two traitors, is it worth affecting morale?"
"Affects morale?"
"I mean, if someone is innocent!" said Shulka, "who fought valiantly on the battlefield, but with wounds that look like self-injury, and there's not enough evidence...then he'll be considered a traitor! So what will the soldiers on the front line think? They have to face death on the battlefield, and there is no doubt that they have to be careful of their wounds in the hospital when they return to the rear!"
Hearing this, Colonel Chernytsev couldn't help being silent.
The situation that Shulka said is indeed very likely to happen, because there are all kinds of strange things on the battlefield, just like the wounded who was directly hit by a mortar shell but survived.
"I mean, we are not worth doing this for possible traitors!" Shulka said: "Their conspiracy has been exposed, I just need to move to another place, even if there are traitors hiding in it, they will be useless... The chances of them continuing to be useful are slim, and we're messing around with it and it may even affect the entire army!"
Colonel Chernytsev nodded in agreement.
In fact, this is not just Shulka's point of view, Colonel Chernytsev also received similar orders.
The Supreme Command has known for a long time that many traitors used by the German army have been mixed into the army, but the Ministry of the Interior has not made any major moves.
This is not in line with the style of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If it had been at any other time, I am afraid that the investigation would have been full of storms and chaos.
But now is an extraordinary time.
When the front-line soldiers and the Germans are fighting tensely, if the Ministry of the Interior is rummaging through the boxes and censors of its own soldiers and its own army... This will not only affect morale but even cause a certain degree of backlash.
So, during this period of time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has actually been suppressing itself.
"So, you mean..."
"It's time for me to leave the hospital!" Shulka said, "As soon as I get out of here, all problems will be solved!"
"No, Comrade Shulka!" Chernytsev said: "You should continue to recuperate!"
"My injury is almost healed!" Shulka said: "Besides, the hospital is not much safer than the battlefield!"
"I can arrange for you to go somewhere else!" Chernytsev said, "A safe place!"
"I don't think there is a 4th Tank Brigade anywhere... no, it should be 1st Guards Tank Brigade Safe!" Shulka said.
This is true. Most of the First Guards Tank Brigade are comrades-in-arms who know the basics. Many people have been in the army since the Brest Fortress. Everyone knows whether they have been captured or not.
After thinking for a while, Chernytsev nodded and replied: "They are in Stalingrad, I will arrange an itinerary for you right away!"
