USSR 1941

"How was the conversation with Comrade Mavnovich?" When Shulka returned to the headquarters, Valrasha was already there waiting for him.

"It's okay!" Shulka replied. In fact, he still didn't come to his senses, because he couldn't believe that he already had such an important position in the Soviet army system, so important that it made the two factions fearful. .

But that seems to be the case.

And not only because of Shulka's prestige in the army.

In fact, Shulka believes that the prestige in the army is only a small unit, and more importantly, Shulka should represent victory, so no matter which side Shulka stands on, the victory of the Great Patriotic War will be on which side... This is obviously very beneficial to the operation of power for the two factions.

This is also the danger of Shulka: if one party confirms that Shulka cannot be supported, they would rather destroy Shulka than let Shulka stand on the opposite side.

"Is there any question?" Valrasha asked with some doubts when she saw that Shulka was a little absent-minded.

"No, no problem!" Shulka replied: "We had a good conversation!"

"That's good!" Walrasha became happy: "I believe you can pass the test with ease!"

"What do you mean?" Shulka asked.

"Comrade Mavnovich didn't need to come to the interview in person, he just wanted to see you!"

Shulka understood that Valrasha thought that Mavnovich had come to guard her.

But it seems that this is indeed the case. If Mavnovich wasn't because of Val Lasha, how could he take the risk of waking himself up?

Then Shulka was a little curious, so which faction does Mavnovich belong to?

"Warrasha!" Shulka asked. "Which side do you, Pravda, have more contact with?"

"What are you referring to? We are in contact with everyone, the troops, the civilians, the wounded...they are all our interviewees!" Then Varasa hugged Shulka's hand affectionately and said with a smile: "And of course you, our 'breakout hero'!"

Forget it, Shulka realized that there was nothing to ask in this way, or that Valrasha didn't understand or come into contact with this level at all, so it's better not to pull her in.

So Shulka didn't ask any more questions.

Walrasha didn't notice Shulka's worries at all. She played with Shulka's collar badge with great interest, and said enviously and proudly: "When I saw you last time, I remembered that I was still a captain, and now I am a captain. Major!"

"You forgot that you are also a major!" Shulka took advantage of the situation and hugged Valrasha.

Varasa shook her head with a smile: "You know it's different, Shulka! Your military rank is earned by victories one by one, and it can even be said that the military rank you obtained is far behind your victories, Everyone knows this! Do you know how proud I am of you?"

Shulka understands Valrasha's feelings, or she puts her focus on Shulka, which is why she is happy and proud of being surpassed by Shulka.

From this point of view, what Valrasha cares about and cares about... honor, military rank, these are too low-level for Shulka.

But the strange thing is that it is precisely the simple thought of such a low level of Valrasha that makes Shulka feel a rare tranquility.

The reason, Shulka thinks, is that he actually wanted it to be so simple in his heart, but was forced to embark on a complicated path.

Things were exactly as Mavnovich said, and soon Khrushchev and Colonel Akadyevich each called to congratulate Shulka on his victory.

Khrushchev even told Zolotarev to keep in touch with Shulka at all times.

In fact, there is no need for Khrushchev to explain this at all, and Zolotarev has long realized this.

Of the two, Shulka was, to be honest, more disappointed with Colonel Akadyevich.

Needless to say the reason, Shulka once regarded Akadyevich as a comrade or friend before that, unexpectedly...

But after thinking about it, Shulka felt that this was too normal, and Akadyevich couldn't decide for himself, and he followed the trend just like himself.

So when Akadyevich found Shulka again a few days later, Shulka had a bad face.

"What's the matter, Comrade Shulka?" Akadyevich asked, "Have you not known me as a good friend since we haven't seen each other for a few days?"

"Oh, no!" Shulka realized his gaffe, and quickly found an excuse: "You seemed to forget to tell me when you left last time, which made my trip for nothing!"

"So it's for this!" Akadyevich laughed: "Sorry, Comrade Shulka! You know, it's like you have to leave suddenly when you have a mission, and I'm no exception!"

"Okay!" Shulka replied: "Then why are you here this time? You can't catch spies again, right?"

"Of course not!" replied Akadyevich, "but speaking of spies..."

Akadyevich shook his head and said, "Shuerka, do you know that you are a genius in this field? I really hope you can become my assistant!"

"You know, Comrade Akadyevich!" Shulka replied: "I can't do without my subordinates. I feel that I belong more to the battlefield. What do you think?"

"Yes!" Akadyevich replied with a smile: "They will not allow the army to lose 'breakout heroes'!"

Shulka believed that Khrushchev was among the "they" that Akadyevich said.

Only then did Shulka know why Akadyevich only brought up this matter in a joking tone... It is almost impossible for Shulka to join the Security Service. Khrushchev has good reasons to prevent this from happening. For example: "Shuerka has won victory after victory on the battlefield, and his talent in war has been obvious to all, but we want to turn him into an intelligence officer, just because he made a few good suggestions in intelligence !”.

Moreover, Shulka believes that Khrushchev's words will be recognized by Stalin.

Because what the Soviet Union now needs more is a commander who can fight, and at this critical moment, it is crazy to transfer a commander who can fight and can fight to the intelligence department.

Therefore, Akadyevich was just talking. Even if he wins over Shulka, he can only give him a reputation.

"Look at this!" Akadyevich took a photo from his pocket and handed it to Shulka, saying, "As I said before, you are a member of the army or know more about the military, and you Invented many things, so I thought... do you know what this is!"

Shulka glanced at the photo, then froze. The photo showed a German V1 missile.
