Chapter 6: small report

Chapter 6 Small Report

Shuerka was escorted to the headquarters by two signal soldiers one after the other.

Major Gavrilov was quite polite to Shulka. He let Shulka sit down on a chair and handed him a glass of water, comforting him: "Don't be nervous, private, I just have some questions I want to clarify, It's good for us all!"

"Yes, Major!" Shulka replied, but still nervously looked at the instructor standing next to Major Gavrilov.

The instructor looked a little smug, needless to say, it must be his fault.

"Your suggestion is very good!" Major Gavrilov said while pacing by the side: "I mean 500 meters, we used your suggestion to repel the Germans' last attack!"

"That's what I should do, Comrade Major!" Shulka replied.

This is true. If the German attack had not been repelled, Shulka himself would have lost his life.

"But..." Major Gavrilo continued to ask: "Why do you know the equipment of the Germans, even the range of their 50mm mortars, and the number of submachine guns?"

Shuerka couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then knew that the problem was here... At this time, the Soviet-German war had just broken out, and it was indeed impossible for an ordinary Soviet soldier to know the detailed data of the German equipment. This alone is enough to characterize Shulka as a "German spy".

Fortunately, Shulka's head turned quickly, and he frowned and replied: "I know it from a Pole, Comrade Major!"

"Poles?"

"Yes, Comrade Major!" Shulka replied: "His name is Sergiak, he speaks some Russian, we chatted a little... He told me this, and I don't know why he knows so much! "

Although these words are simple, they imply a huge amount of information.

But Shulka didn’t say it clearly, which is also Shulka’s brilliance...Leave some suspense for others to guess, especially some reasonable parts, the less you don’t say it, the more it seems true.

Major Gavrilov and the instructor were really fooled. They looked at each other and then nodded slightly to each other.

The emphasis here is on the Poles.

At this time, Poland has been divided between Germany and the Soviet Union. In other words, the Poles fought against the Germans, so it is normal to know the equipment data of the Germans.

In addition, the Polish underground organization often fled to the area controlled by the Soviet Union in order to avoid the pursuit of the Germans (the Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression pact, and fleeing to the other side means safety), so there is nothing wrong with appearing in Brest.

At the same time, Polish and Russian are 40% similar, even if you have never learned Russian, you can communicate...

So, everything makes sense, especially since the Pole has a name.

What Gavrilov and the instructor didn't know was that these were actually given to them by Shulka.

"Very well, Shulka!" Major Gavrilov continued to pace: "So, what else did he say to you? I mean, something of value!"

Shulka suddenly realized that this was his chance, so he replied smoothly: "Yes, Comrade Major. He also said...the Germans are not a good thing, and he told me not to believe any treaty signed with the Germans , he said that sooner or later the Germans will come, and it will be a full-scale and large-scale attack!"

Shuerka has a feeling of spit out, although it is "borrowed" by others.

Major Gavrilov stopped unconsciously, and let out a barely audible wry smile.

Shuerka understood what the wry smile meant...Shuerka hit his heart, or it could be said to be his pain point.

Before the war, Major Gavrilov emphasized his point of view more than once: war is imminent, the dangerous neighboring country on the other side of the Bug River can do anything, since Hitler can tear up many agreements with other countries, then , he can also tear up the friendly agreement with the Soviet Union.

This is not a problem at all. It is normal and encouraged for an officer with combat experience to make some reasonable inferences about potential enemies.

The issue is…

At that time, the high-level Soviet Union believed that it was impossible for Germany to attack the Soviet Union when it was fighting with the United Kingdom. They even suspected that the British intelligence personnel were alienating the Soviet-German relationship in order to reduce the pressure on the country. Therefore, similar remarks were strictly prohibited.

So no surprise, someone made a small report and exposed Major Gavrilov. The charges were: preaching that war against Germany was inevitable and spreading terror among the army.

This charge is very serious. If there is no accident, Gavrilov will be reviewed on the 27th and is likely to be severely punished by party discipline.

Fortunately, an accident happened... At 4 am on the 22nd, the Soviet-German war broke out five days before the review.

It seemed so absurd that Major Gavrilov would be punished for party discipline for foreseeing the war, and it was the war he had foreseen that saved him from punishment.

"Nonsense!" The instructor accused: "If this is the case, why didn't you report it to your superiors? This is very important information, because we are indeed attacked by the Germans now!"

"Comrade instructor!" Shulka pretended to be innocent: "I thought it was just a few nonsense words from the Poles. You know, the Poles want us to fight the Germans. And..."

Shuerka won’t say anything next.

Everyone understands without saying anything, can you report this matter? The result of the report was that Major Gavrilov was charged with spreading terror.

Major Gavrilov nodded slightly to express his understanding. In this regard, he and Shulka can be said to be "sympathetic to each other".

"So..." Major Gavrilov said: "You just said 'the battle is not over so quickly' and asked your comrades to 'be psychologically prepared enough'?"

Shulka couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words. This was what he casually said to Okunev more than ten minutes ago.

Okunev has never left Shulka's sight, so it is impossible for him to reveal it.

Which means...someone tipped off to Command and exposed him. And this is what really brought Shulka to the headquarters.

This makes Shulka a little creepy, but it seems to be quite normal... At this time, the Soviet army was very popular in making small reports, and some people even got promoted by making small reports. The most famous one is Mei, the director of the General Political Department of the Soviet Army. Helis, known as the "King of Small Reports".

"Comrade Shulka!" At this moment, the instructor got excited: "You must clearly realize that when the major emphasized to the whole army that there will be reinforcements tomorrow, you are spreading 'the battle is not over so soon' and similar Rumors, do you realize the seriousness of the problem? This will damage the morale of the troops, this behavior is very dangerous and extremely irresponsible!"
