Chapter 786 Discussion
Originally, Shulka thought that it would take some time. After all, this is Karachi, where the communication lines have not yet been perfected, especially Karachi's air supremacy is basically in the hands of the German army, so there is a process: Akadievich will go back first. , Then convene the scientists to discuss it, and then call Shulka, which will take at least ten days.
On the other hand, the battle situation on the Miloway line of defense is basically stable. Although Stalingrad is getting hotter and hotter, it will basically not affect Karachi because it is separated by the Don River. This gave the 51st Army and of course gave Shulka a rare rest. Time... Although every now and then enemy planes fly overhead and dive bomb the anti-aircraft units, but that's not about the infantry.
Shuerka intends to use this time to spend a few more days with Valrasha.
There is a saying called "Hero's Tomb in Gentle Township". It seems that women should not come to places like the front line, because Shuerka feels that he is inevitably distracted in commanding troops... If it is normal at this time, Shuer Ka should be concerned about the supply situation of the troops or the status of the fortifications, or go to the front line to chat with his subordinates and make a few jokes, anyway, he is idle anyway.
But Walrasha has been following Shulka all day long since she came, and she never left out of sight for almost a moment.
"You're here for an interview, aren't you, Comrade Valrasha!" Shulka asked, "Is it your mission to follow me?"
"Don't you think I'm on a mission?" Varrasha spread her hands and replied, "Look, I'm getting a full understanding of the battlefield life of the 'Breakout Heroes'!"
Shulka was speechless for a while, because this seemed to make sense.
Just because there is Valrasha by her side, no matter where Shulka goes, she becomes the focus...or it can also be said that it is the foil of the focus. No matter where Valrasha goes, she can mingle with the soldiers. Calling out many of them by name, Shulka couldn't do it.
But to be honest, Shulka enjoys such a day, or only in this way can he feel alive.
But this does not seem to be a good thing, because it will take Shulka out of that "war state", making it take a while to adapt, which means adding some risks.
This can be said to be a contradiction.
But this situation ended soon, much sooner than Shulka imagined.
"Shulka!" Less than half an hour after Shulka talked with Akadyevich, Akadiyevich called the headquarters: "The superior decided to let you go with me! "
"Now?"
"Yes, now!" Akadyevich said: "This may be much more serious than we thought!"
This is indeed very serious, even more serious than anyone can imagine... because no one could have imagined that such a humble guy, or a "flying" bomb, would change the global war pattern in the future.
So Shulka could only temporarily hand over the command to Andrianka and bid farewell to Varrasha in a hurry. That night, he boarded the train with Akadievich in Karachi.
The train cars are full of empty seats.
It wasn't just that Akadyevich had his guards packing the entire carriage, but the rest of the carriages were similar.
Needless to say what the reason is... At this time, Karachi is the front line, and war materials are constantly being transported from the rear, but there are almost no things transported back.
Some time ago, there were still wounded and corpses being transported back. Now there are not many wounded, only some ragged civilians scattered in other compartments.
These people were not able to evacuate in Karachi at the beginning. Most of them are old people and women. Some of them went to other places to seek refuge with relatives, and some had no purpose...There is no way out for staying in Karachi, because Karachi will be in for a long time in the future. It will be the front line, which means that all supplies must be given to the troops. It is not only unsafe for the people to stay here, but even food cannot be guaranteed.
So the return train from Karachi was safer as the Germans were short on ammunition and resources and they wouldn't want to waste aerial bombs on a train that wasn't carrying supplies.
As soon as Akadyevich sat down in the chair, he said to Shulka: "I told them your idea and asked Sisoy for advice. Comrade Sisoy agreed with your idea! He hopes to further Discuss this with you!"
"So, are we going to Znamensk?" Shulka knew the temporary foothold of Sissoy and others.
"No!" Akadyevich replied: "Let's go to Moscow!"
"Moscow?" Shulka was a little puzzled. If it was just a discussion meeting, there was no need to travel thousands of miles to Moscow.
"Yes, Moscow!" Akadyevich replied, and then said nothing.
The train goes all the way from Karachi to Elista... Elista is a city in the south, that is, in the opposite direction from Moscow and Stalingrad.
But Shulka knew why he drove here.
This should be the so-called "fastest route"... Both the railway station and the airport in Stalingrad are under the strict blockade of the Luftwaffe, so it is very dangerous to take a train or a plane.
But Elista is far away from Stalingrad and is located in the rear of the Soviet defense line. The German planes have no time to take care of the city, so they can transfer to the plane with confidence.
Sure enough, they took a car to the airport immediately after getting off at the train station.
Along the way, Shulka saw a different scene from the front line. There were militiamen patrolling with red armbands, migrant workers carrying boxes of ammunition and supplies, and people carrying guns on their faces. It was full of dazed or excited recruits.
Shulka doesn't see this kind of scene often, because he stays more on the front line and in the army.
Although he knew before that that no one would be spared in a war, and every member of the entire country must pay more or less for this, or it can be said to be a price, but when he really saw this scene, Shulka Only then did I really feel the weight of the war.
Akadyevich seemed to see through Shulka's thoughts, and he said with some emotion: "You are not the only ones fighting the enemy, Shulka! You may not believe it, but in order to ensure the supply of the front line, the rear starved to death, Those who are exhausted to death are no longer a minority!"
Shuerka certainly believed it, which can be seen from the thin faces of the people.
"So!" Akadiyevich said: "We should do everything we can to end this war as soon as possible!"
Shulka nodded and replied: "I hope so!"
