USSR 1941

Upon hearing this, Colonel Akadyevich spread his hands and said, "It would be great if you could answer a few questions for me!"

Shulka frowned involuntarily.

"What's the matter, Captain?" Seeing that Shulka looked a little off, 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!" replied Colonel Akadyevich.

"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 had actually investigated him before this, and might even have learned 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 about 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 speak 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 being able to speak German and being able to speak 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.

Therefore, the best solution is not to give them any clues.

As for other things, such as Shulka's suggestions to his superiors, and the development of some useful new equipment...it 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, then drank the wine on his own.

Shulka asked in surprise, "That's it?"

"Otherwise, what else do you think?" Colonel Akadyevich asked back, and then, as if he had come to his senses, he said "Oh" and praised with a glass of wine: "Vortega is very good!"

Shulka couldn't help laughing. This was probably the easiest conversation he had ever had with a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

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".

This time Colonel Akadyevich came to question and test, in fact, he was under the pressure of the political commissar, or it could be said to persuade the political commissar to find a better reason, and he also had some personal interests.

"I have to say..." Akadyevich clinked glasses with Shulka and said, "You did a great job in Stalingrad, really great! When everyone thought Stalingrad was about to fall At that time, you successfully stabilized your position and thwarted the enemy's plot time and time again!"

After a pause, Colonel Akadyevich moved the chair closer and asked, "But what I'm more interested in is...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 this, Shulka knew that his guess was right. The colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in front of him was not simple. He actually knew 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 was always under Akadyevich's surveillance.

Seeing Shulka's strange expression, Colonel Akadyevich explained: "Relax, Captain! I am from the Sixth Directorate!"

Seeing 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" when 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 in charge of the defense industry and scientific research center counterintelligence industry, so we know how incredible it is that they should have found the right direction through trial and error after trial and error, and all you have are ideas!"

Only then did Shulka realize that there was another loophole, that is, his own idea was so perfect that even scientists felt inferior.

"This may be 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…”

At this point in the conversation, Shulka seemed to believe what Akadyevich said before, and this might 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 his shoulders.

Shulka understood the meaning of Akadievich's words. They were not facing the 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!"
