Shulka refused the soldiers' "unreasonable" demand, although he was tempted to accept it.

The end result of this incident was to raise the morale of the 82nd Infantry Regiment to another level.

As mentioned earlier, because of the widespread phenomenon of "making small reports" in the Soviet army, it is difficult to have a relationship of trust with each other, especially between superior commanders and soldiers, even Shulka, the "breakthrough hero".

In fact, this was true not only in the 82nd Infantry Regiment, but also in the 1st Guards Tank Brigade and even in Brest.

Previously, Shulka was able to gain the trust of his subordinates and superiors because he led them to victory on the battlefield again and again...... Victory meant saving their lives, and at the same time, no one would be at odds with their own lives, so of course there was reason to believe Shulka.

However, the situation with the 82nd Infantry Regiment was different.

Shulka did not have the same relationship with the 82nd Infantry Regiment on the battlefield, and at the same time he did not have the opportunity to ...... Because as soon as it entered the battlefield, it was almost the day of the fall of the 82nd Infantry Regiment.

If there is anything Shulka deserves to be trusted by the 82nd Infantry Regiment, it is the reputation of the "Breakout Hero" and the deeds that were previously advertised.

However, this is obviously not enough to convince the soldiers to trust Shulka to the point where they can put their lives in his hands, after all, there is a saying that "hearing is nothing".

But now it's different.

It can be said that Valrasha made Shulka...... Vallasha's fuss made everyone in the 82nd Infantry Regiment understand one thing: Shulka is a commander who can be trusted, and the "Breakout Hero" is worthy of his name.

The reason is simple, Shulka could have left the 82nd Infantry Regiment to develop in a better unit, but Shulka stayed for them, for the sake of the 82nd Infantry Regiment, which not everyone can do.

As a result, the Soviet soldiers soon looked at Shulka differently, and the training went smoothly, and Shulka even called them out of the warm bed at night or at any time, and they did not complain.

Of course, there are a few people who complain about it occasionally.

"Oh my God! I just fell asleep and continued to train like this...... Before the Germans attacked, we were afraid that we would be tossed to death! ”

If it had been before, this would have quickly led to a chorus, and then the dissatisfaction with the instructor, Shulka, would have spread very quickly.

But now the situation is the opposite.

"Shut up, Ananiyevich!" Valery reprimanded: "Comrade Shulka also didn't sleep, you may have forgotten, he was with us all the time!" ”

"Yes! Comrade Shulka didn't have to stay here and suffer with us! ”

So, what more can we complain about? What's more, Comrade Shulka did this in the hope of saving our lives! ”

"Comrade Ananiyevich!" In the end, Valery said: "If you want, you can continue to sleep, and I will apply to Comrade Shulka to transfer you to the logistics troops!" ”

"No, Comrade Valery!" Ananiyevich immediately jumped to his feet, and while scrambling to pack his bags, he replied: "I'm just talking......"

"No more voices like this will be allowed, understand?" Valery said.

"Understood, Comrade Valery, I'm sorry!"

This atmosphere brought high morale to the 82nd Infantry Regiment...... Morale can be used not only on the battlefield, but also on the training ground.

Soldiers will make them take the initiative to train and take the initiative, which is not the same as the result of passive training or training under the pressure of orders.

So, in just a few weeks, the 82nd Infantry Regiment was already in shape.

But what these soldiers don't know is that these are actually under Shulka's control all along:

While Shulka was talking to Valrasa, Shulka always knew that someone was eavesdropping on the door...... Although they were light-hearted, they still touched a little snow on the eaves.

Valrasha may not have noticed this, but it couldn't escape Shulka's ears from the battlefield.

So, when Shulka said those words, he was partly acting in a play to show them.

Of course, Shulka isn't all about acting, either.

In fact, Shulka had no choice at all...... Shulka was originally suspected by the High Command, and if he relied on Valrasha's relationship to climb up at this time, he would definitely attract even greater suspicion.

So, Shulka wants to keep a low profile.

Shulka, on the other hand, believes that Valrasha is a sensitive person and that it is impossible for her to go unnoticed.

That is, there is a high probability that she has already been followed and will even be put on trial as soon as she returns to Moscow...... Shulka rejects Valrasa's approach, not only to protect herself, but also to protect her.

Even Shulka knew that what he did in Stalingrad was in the eyes of the Supreme Command, but what Shulka did was very common and even beneficial to the troops, so they turned a blind eye and didn't know how to let Shulka continue to toss like this.

Shulka guessed correctly, Shulka's every move was actually under the surveillance of the Sixth Main Directorate of the Soviet State Security Service (the predecessor of the KGB).

The reason why the Sixth Directorate is in charge is because Shulka is involved in the research and development of a lot of equipment.

The Sixth Directorate, which was responsible for counterintelligence and reconnaissance of various defense industry targets and certain scientific research centers, believed that Shulka was likely hoping to break into Soviet scientific research centers and steal scientific research secrets, especially the T34 tank.

But the director, Colonel Akadyvich, had a headache when he looked at the information in front of him.

"This is impossible, Comrade Commissar!" Colonel Akadyevich raised the telegram in his hand and said: "If he is there to spy on our scientific secrets...... He wouldn't have advised us on our gear again and again! ”

"Maybe that's his method!" The commissar said: "A soldier, how does he know this? Armor-piercing shells, minesweeper tanks, anti-tank grenades...... Don't you think it's weird? ”

"It's strange!" Colonel Akadyevich replied: "But this does not make logical sense, Comrade Commissar!" This is especially armor-piercing! ”

After a pause, Colonel Akadyevich continued: "I asked Sisoy, and what he said about this armor-piercing projectile was...... If we can develop it, then we can easily take out the new tank of the Germans! Do you think this is possible? I mean, if this guy was a spy for the Germans, he wouldn't be stupid enough to tell us about the development of this armor-piercing projectile! ”
