Chapter 462: move
Shulka knew what Katukov meant.
Katukov worried that Mehlis would be bad for Shulka.
It should be said that this is very possible, because all the focus of everyone is now on Shuerka. If Shuerka disappears, then there will be no proof, and Mehlis only needs to open his mouth to tell a lie.
But Shulka believes that the situation has not reached this point.
First of all, if the news was propagated by the Germans, then there is no doubt that Stalin also knew about it. Although Stalin spent most of his time in the Kremlin, he was still very well informed in terms of intelligence.
In this way, if Mechlis attacks Shulka, it will be a cover-up.
What's more serious is that if Mehlis did this, he would not only steal the achievements of the "breakout hero", but also kill the "breakout hero"...It's nothing that Mehlis deceived Stalin. Even if he knew the truth, he would not do anything to Mehlis.
But if Mehlis' killing of Shulka arouses the anger of the whole army and even the people, it will make things out of hand, especially at this critical moment of fighting the German army, when even Stalin It is also necessary to severely punish Mehlis and other civilians for indignation.
Although Mehlis is an idiot in military affairs, he is a veteran in politics. He would not be so stupid to put himself to death.
How would Mehlis deal with himself? Shulka did not know.
Shulka only knows that now is not the time to leave here.
So Shulka replied to Katukov: "No, Colonel. I think I should go back!"
The radio station was silent for a while, and Katukov asked again: "Have you thought about it?"
"Yes, I think about it!" Shulka replied.
"I will keep in touch with Comrade Zhukov!" Katukov said: "If anything happens, report to me immediately!"
"Yes, Colonel!"
Shulka was moved in his heart.
Mechlis was a turbulent figure in the Soviet military and political circles. If he wanted to bring down someone, it should be common sense that everyone would try to get rid of him, even the Soviet marshal who had made many achievements.
But now, instead of doing this, Katukov tried his best to help Shulka... If Shulka is charged with any crime, he will undoubtedly become an accomplice.
Putting down the phone, Shulka looked at the instructor.
"See what I do?" the instructor asked.
"Is it time for you to do something?" Shulka said: "I won't blame you, because this is not up to you!"
"Oh yes!" said the instructor, "Maybe I should arrest you and bring you before Mehlis, eh? You want me to do that?"
When the instructor said this, other fighters turned their attention to the instructor. The Cossack even put his hand on the submachine gun and said coldly: "You won't do this, comrade instructor!"
"Look!" The instructor spread his hands: "Am I that stupid? If I did that, these guys would throw me into the sea immediately, and then tell others that I was tempted to jump by the mermaid in the sea !"
The soldiers couldn't help laughing with a "coax".
"I won't do that, Shulka!" The instructor said: "Don't think of me as that kind of person, I am one of you, we are comrades-in-arms!"
The instructor shouted to the other soldiers: "Have you heard what I said? We are all in one group, and no one is allowed to be a traitor!"
"Of course, Comrade Instructor!"
"We've been together a long time ago!"
"The captain saved our lives, and it's already earned!"
…
This is equivalent to the soldiers showing their position to Shulka, including the instructor.
Shulka did not refuse, because he knew that it was too late to refuse or even persuade them not to do so: as long as three people know something, it is not a secret, let alone there is a company and an engineer battalion here.
"Thank you!" That's all Shulka can say. Being able to support himself at the last moment, especially in this situation, is not what "Xie" can say clearly.
Shulka knew what this meant, it was different from going into battle to kill an enemy, although the result seemed to be the same, risking his life.
However, they are willing to obey Shulka's order to fight the enemy. Although there are personal reasons for Shulka, the essence is to sacrifice for the motherland and the people in the Soviet army system, not for Shulka. They will become heroes after death. The family will be proud of it too.
The current situation is completely different. They chose to side with Shulka more because of Shulka. As a result, it is very likely that they will be labeled as "treason" and "espionage". will be implicated.
But they still chose Shulka, which is what moved Shulka.
Soon, the warship landed in Feodosia.
When Shulka and others walked up the gangway to the newly repaired ferry, they saw two American jeeps and three half-track armored vehicles waiting on the shore.
The atmosphere became tense in an instant. The soldiers took down their guns from their backs one after another, and some even loaded their rifles.
"No, comrades!" Shulka ordered: "No shooting without my order, keep calm!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Alexei stepped out of the vehicle, he looked at the soldiers who were on the verge of arrows in confusion, then seemed to understand something, and then said to Shulka: "No, Shulka, Mehli Stu wants to meet you!"
"The captain should be with us!" the instructor replied: "We will go with him to Mehlis!"
"No, Comrade Instructor!" Alexei shook his head: "Comrade Mechlis' order is Comrade Shulka alone!"
"We will not leave Comrade Shulka alone!" said the Cossack.
"I'm the captain's assistant, at least take me!" The actor stood up.
Alexey looked at Shulka.
"Comrades!" Shulka stopped his soldiers: "I will be fine, trust me!"
As he spoke, Shulka nodded to Alexei and got into the jeep with him.
"They are loyal to you, Comrade Shulka!" said Alexei.
"But that's not a good thing sometimes, is it?" Shulka replied.
"Yes!" Alexei nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said: "You are very smart, Shulka, you know what to do!"
