USSR 1941

"You mean 'clique formation'?" Shulka replied: "I know, last time I was transferred because of this, and I have paid attention to this aspect, but the problem is..."

This should be said to be a contradiction.

On the battlefield, if you want to convince your subordinates and want them to obey your orders sincerely, you must empathize with your subordinates' thoughts and lives, and this can also improve the morale, centripetal force, combat effectiveness and everything else of the entire army. This is the key to victory on the battlefield.

The problem is that while doing this, it is establishing its own prestige and unconsciously making its subordinates not trust others except for Shulka, and even sacrifice everything for Shulka if necessary. The 82nd Infantry Regiment The most typical example here is the second battalion led by Sokolov, also known as the "punishment battalion".

Shurka has indeed paid attention to this point since he was transferred to the 82nd Infantry Regiment, but Shurka found it unavoidable, because it was actually forced out by the battlefield. He had to do this for the survival of the troops and himself, otherwise Only let everything go with the flow and develop according to history,

According to the development of history, it does not mean that the Soviet army cannot win. In fact, Shulka believes that even without himself, the Soviet army can win in the end.

The problem is that this means that a large number of Soviet troops will die on the way to charge and counterattack the enemy due to incorrect strategies and tactics, and Shulka himself may be among them.

Mavnovic exhaled smoke, put the notebook in his hand on the table, and said, "Or we can go for a walk!"

Shulka knew why Mavnovic said that.

No matter where it is, as long as it is indoors, it is possible to install bugs. It is impossible to prevent it from being on the phone, under the table, or on the wall.

So if you want to discuss any sensitive topic, the best choice is to be outdoors... Although it may seem unsafe to have a lot of people outside, but within the range of your eyesight, you can completely judge whether the other party can hear the conversation.

Walking on the path outside the air-raid shelter, Mavnovich said to Shulka thoughtfully: "You look like him, Shulka! Valrasha's father, Colonel Modestovich!"

Shulka couldn't help being startled when he heard this, it was the first time he heard the name of Varrasha's father.

"We know that there are usually two types of commanders!" Mavnovich continued: "One is to be responsible to the superior, that is, to follow the orders and instructions of the superior without hesitation in everything. The troops and soldiers... are responsible for them. It is just a stepping stone or a tool. The other is responsible to the next,

They can often gain the trust of soldiers, and at the same time, they are more likely to win on the battlefield! "

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Shulka asked. "We want victory, don't we?"

"Yes, what we want is victory!" Mavnovich replied: "Especially in the Soviet Union at this time, victory is more important than anything. The problem is that there are other things in the army besides victory, Comrade Shulka!"

"Like what?" Shulka didn't understand what Mavnovich meant. He believed that what Mavnovich said might not be as simple as "forming a party for personal gain".

"If it's just victory, if it's just your subordinates trusting you, then maybe it's not a big deal!" Mafunovich said: "Because everyone knows that you, Shulka, are loyal to the Soviet Union and can bring great benefits to our motherland, army and people." A great victory, and even if you are set up as an example, it can also boost the morale of the troops and the people, making them believe that victory will eventually belong to us!"

Mavnovich paused, looked around, and asked in a low voice: "But have you ever thought that after having such a high prestige or energy, walking with some people will change the entire internal pattern? "

"some people?"

Mavnovich didn't answer directly, but just nodded and said, "Some important people!"

Then Shulka understood, Khrushchev.

Then Shulka understood what Mavnovich meant by the "edge of danger"... Shulka's previous idea was simple. He just wanted Khrushchev to win in the end, so he bet on the It was right about him.

The problem is that Khrushchev at this time is not the one who is "under one person and above ten thousand people". The second person is undoubtedly Beria, the People's Commissar of Internal Affairs (Note: Khrushchev is a political commissar, in charge of political affairs). Work).

If before this, Khrushchev, a political commissar, had been at a disadvantage in the power struggle with Beria, then because Shulka stood by Khrushchev's side, Khrushchev might gain unprecedented power. The help makes the two sides evenly matched.

As a result... Shulka suddenly found that he had become Beria's enemy at some point, and it may not be a coincidence that Khrushchev had paid special attention to and supported him in Stagrad, while Akady It may not be a coincidence that Colonel Vichy came into contact with himself... Colonel Akadyevich is the head of the Sixth Directorate of the State Security Service, which is in turn subordinate to the NKVD.

No wonder Akadievich would suddenly appear on the front line to investigate the "spy" and find Shulka. If Shulka hadn't shown his hand and helped Akadievich or the Ministry of Internal Affairs again, Shulka could be a spy.

In other words, there was an open and secret fight before this, but Shulka was so focused on the battlefield that he didn't realize it at all.

Or it can also be said that Shure's stupid people have stupid blessings, help the left side and the right side, which makes the two factions a little confused.

"I understand!" Shulka nodded.

"You really understand?" Mavnovich asked.

"Yes!"

"So you know what to do?" Mavnovich asked again.

"Yes!" Shulka nodded.

"Tell me!" Mavnovich was still a little worried.

Shulka only replied with four words: "Keep your distance!"

Mavnovich nodded appreciatively.

It is not a good idea to join either faction under such circumstances, because it will inevitably offend the other faction, and no matter which faction it is, a person with no background like Shulka can provoke it.

Therefore, there is only one way to survive, and that is to keep a distance and not offend anyone.

"The question is, don't you think it's a bit late now?" Mavnovich asked.

Shulka knew what Mavnovich meant, because he was actually getting closer to Khrushchev now.

But Shulka is also very helpless, does he have a choice?

So playing balance is easy to say, but it is like playing with fire. You don’t know how you will die if you are not careful.
