Chapter 374: The King of Small Reports
This lieutenant general is Mehris, who is known as the "king of small reports".
Mekhlis held many titles, such as Director of the General Political Department, Political Commissar of the First Class Army, Deputy People's Commissar of Defense, and at this time he commanded battles at the front in his capacity as a representative of the Supreme High Command...... In fact, it is said that he is commanding the battle, and everyone knows that this guy wants to take the hitchhike of the Soviet counteroffensive to cross a little gold and add a little halo to himself, lest others say that he will only make a small report.
Knowing that the person in front of him was Mehris, Shulka understood.
Mehris is a well-known person who flatters horses, as the so-called like gathers like things, and most of the people around him are naturally not very capable and temperamental, so it is normal for all kinds of "unprofessional" performances to be performed before.
Shulka regretted that if he had known that it was him, he should have let the Germans take him prisoner, and even took advantage of the chaos to clean him up.
But now, it's too late.
"I don't think I've ever seen a car like this!" After getting on the half-track, Mehris asked curiously.
"Yes, Comrade General!" Shulka replied: "This is a half-track that has just been developed!" ”
Because of the noise made by the half-track, Shulka had to speak louder.
The instructor looked a little nervous, and he explained to Mehris with some stuttering, "We just received ten for testing, and we didn't expect to run into you ......"
"Why don't I know?" Mehris asked, as if someone was hiding something from him.
"This ...... Comrade Mehris! The instructor replied: "Maybe it's because scientists have always disagreed with this half-track!" ”
"Don't agree? Why not? Mehris asked.
"You know!" The instructor explained: "They think that the production of this kind of car is a waste, its capacity is not as good as that of a car, and it is a waste of tank tracks, and it is also more time-consuming to produce, so they ......"
"What a bunch of fools they are!" Mehris couldn't help but laugh: "I think it's good, it's much safer than a jeep." If I had been in this half-track instead of a jeep, I would have looked good with those Germans! ”
"Yes, yes!" The instructor had some difficulty answering this.
"How, then, did they agree to produce a half-track in the end?"
"It's Comrade Captain!" The instructor looked at Shulka: "He convinced the scientists and designed this halftrack!" ”
"Oh!" Mehris looked at Shulka: "This halftrack you designed?" ”
"Yes, Comrade Mehris!" Shulka replied.
"Do you think it has any merit?" Mehris asked again.
"Good off-road performance!" Shulka replied casually: "There is basic defense, and it is also easy to increase the required weapons, such as machine guns and rocket launchers, to expand them...... If we had just fought the Germans with cars, we would not have won so easily! ”
"That's right, Comrade Shulka!" Mehris patted Shulka on the shoulder: "I saw just now, it's very suitable for front-line operations, and we should produce more of these half-tracks!" I'm glad you have such an eye! ”
Shulka had a feeling of wanting to vomit, this Mehris knew nothing, but he wanted to pretend to know everything and everything was under his control.
The instructor secretly glanced at Shulka, meaning to let Shulka cooperate.
Shulka nodded helplessly and replied: "Yes, Comrade Mehris, you have won the prize!" ”
"Comrade Shulka!" Mehris asked, "I'm curious...... Why did you shoot that *** lackey at me with a gun, and don't you worry about him pulling the trigger before he dies? ”
"Comrade Mehris!" The instructor suddenly became nervous again: "At that time, Comrade Shulka didn't know that it was you, he was just a first-aid person......
"I didn't ask you!" Mehris interrupted the instructor.
The instructor immediately became silent...... Mekhlis was a figure who could turn the clouds in the Soviet Union, for example, at this time he was the representative of the Supreme Command, a person who had not attended a military school and had no combat experience, and could almost be said to be illiterate, but he could actually represent the Supreme Command to command the Soviet army on the front line.
"I think that's the best option, Comrade Mehris!" Shulka replied.
Shulka understood at this moment that Mehris would not be grateful to Shulka for saving his life. Instead, he could even grab something out of it and put a hat on Shulka.
"Give me a reason!" "Otherwise," said Mehris, "I have reason to believe that you did not care at all about the life of a general at that time!" ”
"I'm aiming at the enemy's belly!" Shulka replied: "If it is something else, then it is true, as you say, when my bullet hits the enemy, my finger pulls the trigger......"
"Wouldn't it be impossible to pull the trigger by aiming at the enemy's abdomen?"
"No, he would too!" Shulka replied: "But, whoever is conditioned to arch after a blow to the abdomen, so ...... He pulls the trigger and fires a bullet at your feet! ”
Mehris was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "That's right, Comrade Shulka! I know this, and I should thank you for saving my life! ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do, Comrade General!" Shulka replied coldly.
At the command of the 1st Guards Tank Brigade, Mehris said angrily to Katukov before his ass was hot: "Why don't you attack yet? While the rest of the troops were chasing the enemy, you stayed in Rzhev to recuperate! Don't you think such cowardly behavior is shameful? ”
Katukov was stunned by this call, and he was stunned for a while before replying: "Comrade Mehris, we have been ordered to garrison Rzhev ......"
"So now the order has changed!" "Now is the time to completely drive the lackeys out of our country, and the Soviet Union will not tolerate any act of fear of war, not even the 1st Guards Tank Brigade!" ”
"We need the order of Comrade Rokossovsky!" In desperation, Katukov could only answer like this.
"You need orders?" Mehris raised his eyebrows disdainfully: "Okay, I'll give you the order!" ”
As he spoke, he led his subordinates to the communication room, leaving Shulka and Katukov staring at each other.
"Looking at each other" doesn't seem appropriate, because if the eyes could kill, Katukov would have killed Shulka several times.
"Where did you get this guy from?" Katukov grumbled in a low voice.
Shulka reluctantly spread his hands and replied, "It's a long story!" ”
