Then the officers turned their attention to Shulka, even Major Mikhailvich.

Shulka knew what that gaze meant...... The Fifth Infantry Company can be said to have been formed by Shulkali against public opinion, especially since Shulka promised to treat the Fifth Infantry Company as an ordinary unit.

To be honest, this is a bit unfair to other troops, how can a soldier who has deserted and made mistakes be on an equal footing with other troops? If that's the case, shouldn't the others have a chance to become deserters?!

So the officers complained about Shulka's approach, and Valery was the one who was the most vehemently opposed.

It's just that because Shulka is highly respected in the army, they don't dare to say anything.

Now, because the superiors have this order, that is, let the 5th Infantry Company be at the forefront as cannon fodder...... To agree or not to disagree, in the end it is up to Shulka's opinion.

After thinking about it, Shulka nodded and replied, "No problem, you can assign tasks as you want!" ”

As soon as Shulka said this, all the officers breathed a sigh of relief.

Valery's boulder hanging over his heart was finally put down.

Valery thought to himself, it turned out that Shulka had said that it was bluffing to treat the Fifth Infantry Company like an ordinary unit, or that he was just deceiving the Fifth Infantry Company to behave well on the battlefield, otherwise he shouldn't have responded so simply now.

At the same time, Valery felt a sense of relief.

Because he was finally able to avoid the thankless task of commanding the 5th Infantry Company...... Can't interfere too much, these guys are disobedient, and if they don't report something, they will be lynched, which has affected the prestige of Valery, the battalion commander.

But what the officers didn't know was that Shulka had his own ideas.

"I don't have an opinion on how to arrange the task!" Shulka set his eyes on Mikhailvich and pleaded: "But I want this battle to be commanded by me!" ”

"No problem!" Mikhailvich nodded without thinking.

In fact, even if Shulka didn't ask for it, the command was in his hands.

"Comrade Captain!" After the meeting, Valery stopped Shulka with an embarrassed look: "I'...... There's a request! ”

"You want me to inform the Fifth Infantry Company of the decision of the meeting and the deployment plan?"

"Yes, Comrade Captain!" Valery said: "You seem to know everything! ”

It's not hard to guess.

This is related to the question of Shulka's commitment to the 5th Infantry Company, and at the same time Valery cannot suppress this "deserter company", so it is likely that there will be a conflict with the 5th Infantry Company when he "breaks the promise", and Valery is sandwiched between the 5th Infantry Company and Shulka.

"This is your duty, Comrade Valery!" Shulka said, "Do you have to worry about giving orders to your own men? ”

"I'm not worried about this, Comrade Captain!" Valery replied with some helplessness: "If they are really ordinary troops, I can order them to be arrested and sent to a military court if they do not obey the order...... But they don't worry about it at all, and they don't bother with it! At the same time, your orders should not interfere too much with their management......"

"Just like ordinary troops, Comrade Valery!" Shulka interrupted Valery: "I've told you this more than once, they're just an ordinary army!" ”

"Yes, Comrade Captain!" Valery straightened up and left.

Valery is not to blame for this, he has never dealt with such a thing, so he is a little torn.

As a result, Valery, who is not good at words, of course, could not handle the matter.

This was also expected by Shulka.

In fact, it was not that the Soviets were "bad at words", but that they did not like to quarrel if they disagreed on a matter, and they preferred to solve it with their fists.

This incident was no exception, and Sokolov couldn't help but get angry when the command heard about the task assignment plan, and slapped the table on the spot to fight Valery...... In the end, Valery did not mess with him, and although he had many guards around him who could easily stop Sokolov, Valery chose to accept Sokolov's challenge with his bare hands.

Seeing that the situation was not good, one of the guards immediately ran to the regiment and reported to Shulka.

Shulka simply replied, "I see!" ”

This made Major Mikhailvich a little incomprehensible.

"Shouldn't you deal with this?" Major Mikhailvich asked.

"It's not time yet!" Shulka said, "You can wait! ”

"Wait?" Major Mikhailvich looked at Shulka suspiciously.

"Yes, I'll take care of it, Comrade Major!" Shulka replied.

"Okay!" Major Mikhailvich nodded: "I shouldn't interfere, should I?" Do you know what's going to happen next? ”

"Yes, of course I do!"

So Major Mikhailvich said no more.

Then, the impact soon expanded.

The news reached the 5th Infantry Company, which rushed to the battalion headquarters in anger, and Valery's men were fully armed and ready to fight, and seeing that a mutiny was about to break out, Shulka walked to the scene of the crime in a hurry.

As soon as Shulka appeared, the scene fell silent.

This was not only because Shulka was the only commander who could convince both sides, but also because Shulka was the one who made a promise to the 5th Infantry Company, and the officers and men of the 5th Infantry Company hoped that Shulka would give them an explanation or give them a decision.

Shulka had people drag Valery and Sokolov out of the command and asked: "Can you tell me who won?" ”

The two seem to be evenly matched, because they both have blue noses and swollen faces.

"Comrade Shulka!" Sokolov said indignantly: "I was about to go to you, you promised to treat us as ordinary troops, but Comrade Battalion Commander did not think so......

"This is what I agree with!" Shulka interrupted Sokolov.

"What?" Sokolov was a little incredulous, and then a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "But Comrade Shulka, this is obviously not a normal combat mission......

"So what do you think is a normal task?" Shulka asked rhetorically.

"This is sending us up to death!" Sokolov objected: "We're still a 'punishment camp', aren't we? Our role is to consume enemy bullets and shells, isn't it? I believe in you, and my soldiers believe in you, but you have betrayed us! ”

"You think so?" Shulka asked rhetorically.

Without waiting for Sokolov to answer, Shulka turned to the soldiers of the 5th Infantry Company and asked aloud: "You think so too?" Think tomorrow morning's mission is a mission to death? Think you're still a 'punishment camp'? Think I've broken my promise? ”
