Chapter 593: suggestion
Shulka frowned involuntarily.
"What's the matter, Captain?" Seeing that Shulka looked a little wrong, Colonel Akadyevich asked, "Is there any problem?"
"No, no problem!" Shulka replied: "Colonel, have you heard of the Battle of the Brest Fortress?"
"Yes, of course!" Colonel Akadyevich replied.
"If your question is after that battle, then I can answer you!" Shulka said.
"What's the meaning?"
"Before that!" Shulka shook his head in pain: "I don't remember anything..."
Colonel Akadyevich couldn't help but "oh", then nodded slightly, with no surprise on his face.
So Shulka knew he had made the right bet this time.
Colonel Akadyevich actually investigated him before this, and may even know something from Okunev.
Although Shulka didn't know the specific identity of Colonel Akadyevich in front of him, he knew that the person who could come to him at this time must not be an ordinary member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"Not many people know this!" Shulka said: "I don't know what happened, even my parents need to be introduced by comrades from the same town..."
"Then why are you telling me this?" asked Colonel Akadyevich.
"Because I have to, don't I?" Shulka replied.
"So, you don't know why you know German?"
"German? No, that's English!" Shulka replied.
"Oh, yes, it's English!" Colonel Akadyevich pretended to remember wrongly.
There is an essential difference between knowing German and knowing English, because Britain and the United States are allies of the Soviet Union at this time.
Shulka actually thought about this problem a long time ago.
As an ordinary soldier, why can he speak English?
Maybe Shulka can find an excuse, such as learning from a British businessman, or having traveled abroad... The problem is that the Ministry of Internal Affairs may find out every detail based on these clues.
So, in order to cover up a lie, Shulka needs to make up more and more lies, which will definitely show his feet in the end.
So, the best solution is not to give them any clues.
As for other things, such as Shulka's advice to his superiors, and the development of some useful new equipment...that can be said to be a sudden inspiration or for survival.
This makes perfect sense, firstly because these suggestions are good for the Soviet Union, and secondly because these suggestions and those equipment have not appeared in this world, so there is no other possibility except that Shulka came up with it.
"Very good!" Colonel Akadyevich nodded, and then continued to drink on his own.
Shulka asked in surprise, "That's it?"
"Otherwise, what do you think can be done?" Colonel Akadyevich asked back, and then, as if he had come to his senses, he said "Oh" and praised with a glass: "Vortega is very good!"
Shulka couldn't help laughing, this may be the easiest conversation he had with the Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel.
What Shulka didn't know was that the Colonel Akadyevich in front of him had always been more inclined to believe in the "breakout hero".
Colonel Akadyevich came to question and test this time, in fact, under the pressure of the political commissar, or it can be said to persuade the political commissar to find a better reason, and to bring some personal interest.
"I have to say..." Akadyevich clinked glasses with Shulka, and said, "You did a great job in Stalingrad, really great! In a place where everyone thought Stalingrad was about to fall At that time, you successfully stabilized your position and defeated the enemy's plot time and time again!"
After a pause, Colonel Akadyevich moved the chair closer and asked, "But I'm more interested in...how did you think of those equipment?"
"you are right…"
"Amphibious landing ship, the middle power bomb!" Colonel Akadyevich said: "There is also that strange armor-piercing bomb...it sounds very interesting!"
Hearing Shulka, he knew that his guess was right. The colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in front of him is not simple. He actually knows such things as the middle power bullet and the tail-stabilized shell-piercing armor-piercing bullet. These are undoubtedly top secrets.
But in other words, he has always been under the surveillance of Akadievich.
Seeing Shulka's strange expression, Colonel Akadyevich explained: "Relax, Captain! I am from the Sixth General Bureau!"
Looking at Shulka's blank face, Colonel Akadyevich suddenly realized: "Sorry, the Sixth Directorate was formed before the Battle of Brest, so you shouldn't know!"
Colonel Akadyevich laughed "hehe" as he said that.
"I just thought of it suddenly!" Shulka replied: "I don't know why I thought of it!"
"Inspiration?!"
"Yes, inspiration!" Shulka nodded. "I'm not even sure if those are feasible, they're just an idea!"
"Your ideas have been proven to be feasible!" Colonel Akadyevich sighed: "Without exception, this is why the political commissar doubted you... You know, the Sixth Directorate is responsible for the defense industry and the scientific research center. Counterintelligence industry, so we know how incredible it is that they are supposed to find the right direction through trial and error after trial and error, and all you have are ideas!"
At this time, Shulka realized that there was another loophole, that is, his idea was so perfect that even scientists felt inferior.
"Maybe this is the power of war!" Shulka said: "I was forced!"
"Yes, the power of war!" Akadyevich laughed: "So sometimes I wonder whether I should fight the enemy face to face on the battlefield like you, and then on the verge of life and death, will I There are those fascinating thoughts…”
Talking here, Shulka seems to believe what Akadievich said before. This may really be just an ordinary, private conversation.
Then, Akadyevich sighed again: "But, you know, we each have our own tasks, what we have to do..."
Akadyevich shrugged.
Shulka understood what Akadievich meant. What they were facing was not an enemy, but more of their own people. This can be said to be a kind of helplessness, at least for Akadievich.
After thinking about it, Shulka said, "May I give you a suggestion, Colonel!"
