USSR 1941

In fact, it is not Shulka that is needed, and of course Shulka cannot mobilize the air force.

To be precise, what is needed is Shulka convincing Mehlis... Now everyone knows that Shulka is the only one who can persuade Mehlis, and other people's suggestions will be bad, because the current Mehlis is self-righteous, When other people want to tell him what to do, they will often be criticized by him for no reason.

This is actually a kind of preconceived notion, just as Stalin often employs people who are not objective, so is Mehlis.

But this seems to be easy to understand, just like Shulka and his troops rescued Mehlis, so Mehlis didn't trust his own guards but trusted Shulka's combat troops more... People who don't understand will be more subjective and stubborn to think that this is the safest way, and it's useless for anyone to reason with him.

Shulka's suggestions to Mechellis time and time again have been proven to be effective, especially "effective" on Stalin's side... As a result, Mechellis has been praised by Stalin many times, so Mechellis It can almost be said that Shulka is the only one who has been identified.

The instructor also warned Shulka for this.

"I think it is necessary for me to remind you, Comrade Shulka!" There was some hesitation in the instructor's eyes, as if he was still considering whether to say it near this moment.

"What?" Shulka asked.

"Well, some people...don't trust him too much!" The instructor didn't name Daoxin, he even talked about him: "You know, many of our fighters are not what they seem on the surface! You don't Know what's on their minds, they're likely to be dangerous to you, I mean..."

Hearing this, Shulka knew who the instructor was talking about.

Shulka couldn't help being moved when he heard this. You must know that Mechlis is the director of the General Political Department, and the instructor's superior's superior's superior... Mechelis should be the one the instructor is trying to curry favor with.

On the other hand, Mehlis's nickname of "King of Small Reports" is not in vain. His eyeliner is everywhere in the army, even in Shulka's army... Mehlis passed The method of recruiting recruits was added. Although they were well camouflaged and other fighters didn't even notice, Shulka and the instructor were not fools.

Therefore, these words from the instructor may cause him trouble at any time, and this "disaster" is not a small "disaster".

But the instructor still took the risk of saying this.

"I know, comrade instructor!" Shulka nodded gratifiedly at the instructor: "I know what to do,

And I believe that no matter what others are like, I always have a few trustworthy comrades in arms! "

The instructor nodded in understanding.

Shulka does know what he is doing, and he also knows that it is dangerous to do so. For example, General Vladimir accidentally revealed some information... If it is not resolved quickly, I am afraid that the relationship between him and Mehlis Relations between them have begun to deteriorate.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe what Shulka has done as "playing with fire".

Even one day, when the victory of this war is decided, Shulka has reason to believe that Mechlis will deal with him with all his strength... Shulka is the insider and participant of all these things, Shulka still knows the truth of "cooking a rabbit to death".

Want Mehlis to "recognize heroes and value heroes"?

Forget it, he is not such a person at all, he doesn't even know what a hero is, he only has power and desire in his mind.

However, at least for now, Shulka must cooperate with Mahlis, because only by using him can Shulka mobilize more resources and put them into the immediate battlefield more reasonably.

At Katukov's request, Shulka returned to Feodosia.

Shulka went back on a half-track vehicle. Of course, this speed is different from the marching speed of the troops. The distance of 50 kilometers was reached in only one hour.

The reason why he had to talk to Mehlis in person was because Katukov was worried that Mehlis would command blindly without Shulka by his side... This has happened before. When the brigade was attacking Zhankoy with all its strength, Mechlis ordered the naval infantry brigade, which had just landed in Feodosia and had not yet gained a foothold, to attack Sevastopol at the same time on a whim.

"We can attack on two fronts!" Mehlis said, pointing to the map: "This will allow the Germans to deal with each other, and they can support Sevastopol. In addition, they can perfectly surround the enemy and finally drive them from Kerry. Get out!"

This is total bullshit.

First of all, Sevastopol is a solid fortress, with more than a dozen indestructible forts equipped with large-caliber artillery. They can blast the heavy German equipment into the sky from a long distance, and the people stationed in Sevastopol are still well-trained Su Su's naval infantry brigade, so there is no need to worry about it falling in a short time.

Secondly, occupying Zhankoy can complete the encirclement of the German army. Of course, there is no such thing as a "perfect encirclement" when dividing troops to attack Sevastopol. To do so was even to disperse the force and deprive the 1st Guards Tank Brigade attacking Chankoy of backup.

The ammunition shortage of the 1st Guards Tank Brigade when repelling the Romanian Cavalry Brigade was also related to Mechelis' "nonsense" encirclement plan.

"Watch him!" said Katukov. "At least nothing will happen until we reach Zhankoy and occupy it. What we need is not only the air force, but also strong reinforcements and sufficient supplies, otherwise It is impossible to capture Khoi, and even if it is achieved, we will not be able to defend it!"

"Yes, Comrade Colonel!" Shulka replied somewhat helplessly.

Mechelis' headquarters is still the bunker fortification... As long as there are enemy planes flying in the sky, Mechelis dare not move to the city to enjoy the spacious and bright villa.

"Shulka!" Seeing Shulka walk into the headquarters, Mechlis greeted him happily: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Comrade Shulka, I heard that you fought another beautiful battle on the battlefield." Victory, what is it this time?"

"It's the remnant of the German 46th Division, Comrade Mechlis!" Shulka replied, "We annihilated them before they laid mines!"

"Oh, yes! The German 46th Infantry Division!" Mechlis waved his hands excitedly: "Do you believe it? It was this unit not long ago, the 46th Infantry Division. They fought with the strength of one division." The Kerch Peninsula where Kulik was stationed by hundreds of thousands of people collapsed thousands of miles away! However, the same army was defeated by you with only two companies!"

Of course there was an element of exaggeration in this, and Shulka's troops only defeated one of them, but of course Shulka would not be stupid enough to correct him.
