In addition to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Golikova quickly got the news.

This was not reported by Shulka or Major Mikhailvich, and certainly not by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In fact, the Ministry of Internal Affairs also took this incident as a shame.

This was not only because of the impact of the Isaev incident, but also because a considerable part of the 5th Infantry Company was originally considered "traitors to the Motherland" and "incorrigible" by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and wanted to be shot.

But it is precisely this part of the people who becomes a qualified warrior on the battlefield.

So, whatever the reason, this is a resounding slap in the face to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and at the same time, it has a certain negative impact on the prestige of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The internal system of the Soviet army is often like this, sometimes it is clear that the goals of several units are the same, for example, there is no contradiction between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the 5th Infantry Company, or there is no contradiction between it and Shulka, all in order to use those deserters as much as possible to serve the war.

However, there will be disagreements when it comes to implementation.

At the same time, the aim of the Ministry of the Interior at this time was to strengthen the national security situation in the chaos of the war, and in this regard Shulka should be strongly encouraged.

But this is not the case, because it directly touches the interests of the Ministry of Internal Affairs...... If Shulka's approach is universal, it will on the one hand prove that the shooting of deserters by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is wrong, and on the other hand, it will illustrate the incompetence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs from another angle.

Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was supposed to report and publicize to the command of the group army as soon as possible, was silent in this regard.

If it weren't for the fact that they had checked Shulka's details and knew that they couldn't move him, maybe Shulka might have been investigated for this.

This was also true, because the head of the regiment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Major Zogtalyov, who was in charge of the port investigation, called the command of the army group to inquire about the situation in Shulka.

"Do you know about the situation of Comrade Shulka, deputy commander of the 82nd Infantry Regiment?" Zogta Lev asked.

"Of course!" Golikov replied.

"How's he doing?" Zogtaliov asked: "I mean the performance in Stalingrad!" ”

"Outstanding!" Golikov replied: "We held Stalingrad almost on his advice!" Any questions? ”

Zogta was silent for a while, then replied: "No, there is no problem! ”

In fact, this made Zogtalov feel very tricky, because if this was the case, it would mean that Shulka could not be investigated casually.

Golikov put down the phone and was a little uneasy, so he asked Akimovich to go to the 82nd Infantry Regiment, because the fact that the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would personally call meant that nothing could have happened or even a trivial matter.

"Have you offended anyone?" Akimovich did not see Shulka when he arrived at the headquarters of the 82nd Infantry Regiment, when Shulka was directing the battle at the front.

"We have always offended the Germans!" Major Mikhailvich replied.

The officers and men in the command headquarters all laughed.

"I'm serious, Comrade Mikhailvich!" Akimovich replied: "I'm talking about my own people!" ”

When Mikhailvich saw Akimovich's serious face, he knew that the problem might not be small.

He thought about it, and then he knew what was going on.

"We asked for a group of deserters from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who should have been shot!" Major Mikhailvich replied: "But I don't think it offends them, it's with their consent!" ”

"No, it's not!" Akimovich replied that he also did not think that this would upset the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After thinking about it, Akimovich asked again: "How are these deserters now?" ”

"They're good!" Major Mikhailvich replied: "We formed them into a company, and they performed brilliantly on the battlefield!" ”

"Excellent?"

"Yes!" Major Mikhailvich shook his head and replied: "No one expected such a situation, and it took only a few days for Comrade Shulka to subdue these deserters...... I mean, they're convinced, and they're now a pretty good force. Can you imagine this? A few days ago he was a deserter, but now he is a valiant soldier, without a warlord, without eyeliner, and without shooting! ”

"Shulka?" Akimovich was dumbfounded.

"Yes, Shulka!"

After a long time, Akimovich nodded and replied: "Yes, who else but him can do this!" ”

Akimovich seemed to know what was wrong and returned to command to report to Golikov.

Golikov couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"This Shulka ...... Others offend people because they are incompetent, but he is able to scold people because he is too capable! ”

"Comrade Golikov!" Major Akimovich asked with some concern: "In this situation, it seems that the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs want to debunk this myth and save face, so they deliberately target Shulka ......"

"They shouldn't be able to find the handle!" Golikov said.

But the look on his face betrayed this, and Golikov knew that no one would be able to escape from the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs if he wanted to find a crime.

After a moment of silence, Krylov suggested: "Unless, let's report this first!" ”

"Escalate?"

"Yes!" Krylov nodded: "On the one hand, if this matter is characterized by the superiors as correct, then the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs can no longer interfere with it. On the other hand, this has a positive effect on all the guilty deserters, which may be beneficial for the Battle of Stalingrad......"

"Yes!" Golikov said: "They will follow the example of the 5th Infantry Company and promote it throughout the army, as long as they fight bravely, they may be treated as ordinary troops and receive the same treatment, which will boost their morale!" ”

"That's what I mean!" Krylov nodded.

Golikov then ordered Akimovich to immediately investigate the situation of the 5th Infantry Company and submit a report to the Front Command.

Of course, there were no problems in this regard, because it was Zhukov who actually commanded the armies of both fronts...... He will certainly support Shulka, and he will not let go of this morale-boosting opportunity.

However, what others didn't expect was that the latter was not very effective in the whole army, and there was even a lot of chaos.

The reason is ...... It's not as simple as it seems, on the one hand, forgiveness, and gratitude on the other, and then hit it off.

The most important thing is the mutual trust between each other, and Shulka also took a lot of effort and a bit of luck to do it.

So, this became something that no one but Shulka could do.
