USSR 1941

Soon, that Major Bauer was taken to Akadyevich's temporary headquarters.

Just as the Germans usually executed Soviet political commissars, Soviet soldiers would pull him to the side of the road and shoot him in the back of the head if they knew who was a member of the captured German army.

Fortunately, Major Ball did not get such treatment, but the few bruises on his face and the blood at the corner of his mouth told Shulka that he was not having an easy time.

"Major!" a translator asked Bauer in German: "We need to know more about you!"

The translator was brought by Akadyevich. The General Intelligence Bureau will never lack German-speaking people, otherwise they would not be able to do the intelligence.

Major Bauer said nothing, looked at the few people in front of him with contemptuous eyes, and then smiled.

"You'd better tell everything you know!" Akadyevich stepped forward and grabbed him, and said to him fiercely: "Otherwise you will know what happened to you!"

"What will happen?" Major Bauer asked back: "Shoot me in the head? Or send me to Siberia? I know what will happen to me, don't try to scare me!"

"Really?" Akadyevich punched him hard, and then asked while punching him: "Then do you know this? Or this, and this?!"

"Comrade Akadyevich!" Shulka stopped the senseless behavior.

As I said before, although Akadyevich is the director of the General Intelligence Bureau, the Soviets usually speak with their fists, and the Intelligence Bureau is no exception.

"Let me try!" Shulka said.

Akadyevich nodded slightly, then pushed Major Bauer to the ground, turned and walked away.

Shulka offered Major Bauer a cigarette.

Major Power refused, though his eyes were eager.

"Come on!" Shulka said, "If you are not afraid of death, are you afraid of smoking a cigarette?"

Major Power seemed to think it was reasonable, and then he took the cigarette and drank it with his bruised and bloodshot lips.

Shulka lighted it for him.

Before Shulka could speak, Major Bauer said, "If you think this will make me speak, then you are wrong!"

"Of course not, Major Bauer!" Shulka replied with a smile, "Have you ever thought that you have the hope of going back alive?"

"Do you think I have?" Major Bauer laughed: "I know your tricks, trick you into what you want, and then..."

Shulka smiled and shook his head: "You are an anti-aircraft artillery battalion, you should know that the information you know is actually of little use to us!"

Major Bauer couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, he was right.

What important information can the artillery battalion know? All they have to do is to disperse to a certain anti-aircraft artillery position according to the order, and then pay attention to the enemy's fighter planes in the air... The value of the intelligence they can know is not even as much as that of an infantry soldier. At least the infantry knows the deployment of firepower on the defense line or The location of the anti-tank guns, while the anti-aircraft artillery units were almost unknown.

"Then...why do you want to know more?" Major Ball asked suspiciously.

Shulka didn't answer, he wanted to whet Major Bauer's appetite first, or it could be said to brainwash him. starter

As for how to brainwash, there are actually many examples.

"Who do you think will win this war, Major Ball?" Shulka asked while lighting his own cigarette.

Like two soldiers gossiping in a trench.

"Of course it's us!" Major Ball replied proudly: "We've already reached here!"

"Really?" Shulka asked back: "If I'm not wrong, your situation in the African battlefield is not optimistic!"

At this time, Rommel's army encountered the Alamein defense line of the British army in North Africa, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

For Rommel, who was short of troops, equipment, and supplies, stalemate was a disadvantage, and the longer the time, the less optimistic he would be.

But Major Power did not admit this.

"On the contrary, Major!" Ball replied. "We're invincible in North Africa!"

"So..." Shulka said, "do you think you can defeat Britain, France, the Soviet Union and the United States at the same time?"

At this time, although the United States has not directly participated in the war between Britain and Germany, it has already provided a large amount of American equipment in North Africa and reached an agreement, and then landed in North Africa in November, that is, a few months later.

There was some strangeness in Major Bauer's eyes, and he replied: "What are you talking about? I am already your prisoner, and this has nothing to do with me!"

"No, this is about you, Major!" Shulka asked: "Do you think you can defeat so many countries at the same time? Or, in other words, do you agree with your head of state? Simultaneously with Britain, France, the Soviet Union, America is at war, and he's telling you that Germany will win the war! Do you believe he's right?" Starter

Major Ball could not help but fall silent.

In fact, as long as a normal person understands that this is impossible.

If anyone still believed it when the German army quickly attacked the city of Moscow, then the failure of the Battle of Moscow and the deactivation of the Battle of Stalingrad have made most German officers and soldiers realize that this is an unwinnable war.

Shulka believes that Major Bauer thinks the same way, because he is a soldier on the front line, he knows what kind of energy the Soviet army has, rather than those fanatical SS soldiers in the rear who blindly think that the failure of the front line is due to the army or It was the general who made the mistake.

But Ball is still struggling.

"France is already under our control!" Major Ball said: "The United States may not join the war!"

"You think so?" Shulka laughed.

This can't even convince him that France is like a time bomb that may explode at any time, and it is only a matter of time before the United States enters the war.

"Okay!" Ball asked angrily, "What the hell does all this have to do with me?"

"If this is a war that cannot be won!" Shulka continued: "Then Major Bauer, I hope you think clearly whether what you are doing now is saving Germany or dragging Germany to the bottomless the abyss!"

When Shulka said this, Major Bauer was stunned.

The high quality of the German army also has its two sides.

High quality can enable them to exert stronger subjective initiative on the battlefield, and sometimes it is even a stroke of genius.

But it also has its side effects. These high-quality and better-educated officers and soldiers will think about the outcome of the war and the future, and they will see farther.

And Shulka just wants them to see further.

If Major Ball could have seen further, then Shulka had succeeded too.
