"Hey, Colonel!" Shulka couldn't help but say to the instructor in English: "I think you should be polite!" ”

“WTF！” The instructor turned around: "What did you say?" ”

"I say!" Shulka stepped forward and said to the instructor word by word: "You should be polite, otherwise you will be in danger!" ”

"Oh, really?" The instructor couldn't help laughing: "What kind of danger, second lieutenant?" ”

"Do you know why they disobey you?" Shulka replied solemnly: "Because they don't agree with what you say at all, or even the opposite...... They probably destroyed more German tanks than you've ever seen, and before you say that, you should first ask them about their combat history! ”

The instructor couldn't help but be stunned, because of the principle of secrecy, the instructor did not have access to the information of the 1st Guards Tank Brigade, and the British colonel did not understand the language with the soldiers...... In fact, the bigger reason was that he disdained to talk to these Soviet soldiers.

But the instructor, of course, did not show weakness, and he laughed: "Ensign, you may not know that I fought in Africa......"

"I know!" Shulka replied: "But how many German tanks are there in Africa?" ”

The instructor was momentarily speechless, because at this time the whole world knew that the British army was defeated in the first place, and it was only one armored division, and it was a light armored division. (Note: 5th Light Armorer)

"I'm kind!" Shulka added: "Look at the waterga they drink...... You don't know them, and if they have an opinion about someone, they usually don't complain, they drink a whole bottle of that thing and beat you up, whether it's an enemy or their own. You don't want that, do you? ”

Stephen believed this, because the Soviet top brass had also given him a Wadga, double the ration.

Stephen even secretly drank a little...... Stephen used to drink wine every day when he was in Africa, so he didn't think it was a big deal to take a few sips.

As a result, he soon collapsed in bed, but luckily the consequence was that he was half an hour late the next day, and no one else noticed.

Since then he has never dared to touch the waterga that was given to him, but he was too embarrassed to show weakness in front of others, so he secretly poured out the water, mixed it with water in the wine shell, and drank a few sips and praised it from time to time.

Stephen couldn't understand how these seemingly thin, malnourished Soviet soldiers could drink this thing one sip after another without changing their faces, and still carry it to the battlefield...... This is crazy!

Although Stephen knew in his heart that Shulka was right, he still didn't admit it.

"Thank you for your advice, Second Lieutenant!" "But, I know how to train them!" ”

Shulka didn't answer, he just smiled and left.

"Who is he!" Stephen asked the translator beside him.

"He's the commander of the third company, and he just came back from recuperation, colonel!" Translate the answer.

"Uh-huh!" Stephen laughed, "In other words, he should have joined them in training......"

"No, Colonel!" The translator replied: "He is the exception, I think it's up to him to decide!" ”

"Why?" Stephen asked, confused.

"Because ......" the interpreter didn't know what to say for a moment, so he borrowed a phrase from Shulka: "Because he destroyed more tanks than you've seen, Colonel!" ”

Stephen looked at the translator with an incredulous look in his eyes, and he thought that the people here must be crazy!

"Comrade Shulka!" When Katukov saw Shulka walking into the command headquarters, he couldn't help but stand up happily and took the initiative to step forward and shake hands: "Long time no see!" ”

"Yes, long time no see, Colonel!" Shulka was a little surprised by Katukov's return, and he was not even fully recovered, because Shulka was still inconvenient to see Katukov's movements.

Katukov seemed to know what Shulka was thinking, so he spread his hands and replied: "No way, I am needed here!" ”

Shulka nodded in understanding.

If Major Zakhakavich was still competent in the previous battles, now the evaluation and training of these British and American tanks is not a person who is competent for ordinary people, he must be an expert in tank tactics like Katukov.

"How?" Katukov asked: "Have you seen the tanks and think they are ...... Oh, I guess you should check out these! ”

With that, Katukov handed Shulka a document.

Shulka flipped through it and looked at it, and it was the performance data of those tanks.

In fact, Shulka does not need to look at these data at all, he knows the weaknesses of these tanks.

"British tank...... It's too slow! "The top speed is only 24 kilometers per hour, which is almost half of the T34!" American tanks were large and poorly protected, and they could easily be destroyed by the Germans! ”

Katukov nodded in agreement: "That's right, Comrade Shulka, it seems that you also know quite a bit about tanks!" ”

"I have to understand, Colonel!" Shulka replied: "Because these things are often needed to save lives on the battlefield!" ”

Colonel Katukov couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not like a hero would say, Shulka!" Colonel Katukov said: "Although you are right, and the battlefield needs people like you precisely in it!" But...... It's enough to say these words in front of me, understand? ”

"Yes, Colonel!"

"Looks like they sent us a pile of scrap metal!" Katukov said.

Shulka didn't answer.

Shulka knew in his heart that he couldn't say that...... Britain and the United States had reason to help the Soviet Union, because at this time the Soviet Union was generally beaten badly by the German army, and even most countries in the world believed that Moscow would fall this winter.

Therefore, Britain and the United States really wanted to help the Soviet Union, because only by helping the Soviet Union to drag it on for a longer period of time would Germany not be able to turn around and go all out against Britain and the United States.

The problem was that shortly after the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, Britain and the United States urgently provided reinforcements to the Soviet Union, and they could only provide some existing equipment that could be easily sent to the Soviet Union.

This is the case with these tanks, which Britain and the United States themselves use.

"Still, we'll have to try to use these tanks!" Katukov said: "After all, it is better to have tanks than not to have them!" ”

As he spoke, Katukov raised his head to the staff officer next to him and said, "Let Instructor Stephen come here!" ”

"Yes, Colonel!"

Then Stephen walked into the command headquarters.

Katukov shook hands with Stephen and said, "Colonel Stephen, introduce, this is Comrade Shulka...... In the future, he will participate in the training of tank units with you! ”

"Him?" Stephen couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at Shulka, which quickly turned to anger.
