USSR 1941

  Chapter 801 House

So Shulka has a house of his own. This house is located on Lenin Street. It looks like a very ordinary apartment building. Shulka owns one of the houses with about 100 square meters, three bedrooms and one living room. .

   This house was of course arranged by Beria, with all the furniture and cooking utensils inside.

When Akadyevich brought Shulka here, he said: "If you need anything, for example, if you are not satisfied with the decoration or accessories, just tell me, and I will arrange for someone to remodel it immediately! In addition... walk east along the street for a hundred Domi is the market, where you can buy ingredients or other things you need!"

   "Thank you!" Shulka looked around, typical Russian styles, such as fireplaces, chandeliers, etc.

   "That's good enough!" Shulka said. "Not to mention...I'm not sure I'll be able to live here for a few days!"

Akadyevich laughed: "As a matter of fact, if you want, Shulka! I mean, if you can become a member of the State Security Service, you know what I mean! Then live here every day, wake up in the morning Go to Work!"

  Shuerka nodded, but still politely refused: "You know, Comrade Akadyevich, the battlefield needs me! I don't think the superiors will allow me to leave the battlefield!"

  Akadyevich nodded in understanding.

   Shulka knew that Akadyevich did have this intention, that is, to recruit Shulka into the National Security Bureau to become one of them.

  But Shulka knew that Akadyevich's idea was wrong, and he didn't understand Beria's real intention.

  The reason why Beria values ​​Shulka so much is at least in part because of Shulka's influence in the army, which is very important to Beria.

  Because as we all know, the relationship between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the army is not very harmonious, and it can even be said to be enemies.

   Fortunately, Beria's rival, the Political Department, also had a bad relationship with the military.

   These are not important if it is in peacetime, because officers, generals, and marshals in the army are all used for review and shooting:

According to statistics, from the 1930s to the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, 3 of the 5 marshals were executed, 3 of the 5 first-level army commanders were executed, 12 second-level army commanders were executed, and the other 67 army commanders were executed. 60 out of 199 division commanders, 221 out of 397 brigade commanders, 401 out of 456 colonels...

   In other words, what the military thinks doesn't matter at all, and they shouldn't have any other thoughts than following orders.

  But after the war broke out, it was different.

  War does not allow the army to be disorganized and cohesive to form a piece of sand, because the result of this is the collapse of thousands of miles in the early stage of the war.

This is also the contradiction that Shulka has always faced: if he wants to win a battle, he must care about his subordinates living and dying with them, because only in this way can the troops have combat effectiveness and can survive on the battlefield, and such a result is inevitable. It was "forming a party for personal gain" that made the troops willing to obey Shulka's orders and even ignore the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Political Affairs.

In this way, as the war deepens, the cohesion of the army becomes stronger and more victories are achieved, and the people also support the army more and more... As a result, the status of the army becomes higher and even easier Master the right to speak.

   There is a saying that "the fist is the last word", and the army is the "fist" during the war, and everything else is empty.

  Both Khrushchev and Beria saw this.

   Khrushchev is not too worried about this, because the Political Department has more direct control over the army, and they even directly participate in the command of the army, although the frontline officers and soldiers are often verbally dissatisfied with the political commissar.

   Beria's Ministry of Internal Affairs is clearly behind in this regard.

So it is obvious that only if Shulka stays in the army as a "breakout hero" will it be more useful to Beria. If it is true that Shulka joins the National Security Bureau ...As a result, Beria lost contact with the army and even further offended Khrushchev and the army, while Beria got nothing more than Shulka, a think tank.

   This is obviously not what Beria wants.

From this point of view, Shulka knew that Akadyevich was not the kind of manipulator in the city government, otherwise he would not have persuaded Shulka to join the National Security Bureau again and again. God will destroy himself.

   This made Shulka feel better.

  Because at least Shulka knew that Akadievich’s previous contacts were not all because of wooing him, maybe Akadievich himself didn’t understand the stakes.

   "So, do you need me to bring your parents?" Akadyevich said: "So when you return from the battlefield or pass through Moscow, at least you have a chance to meet them!"

   "Can you?" Shulka asked.

   "Of course!" Akadyevich replied, "I'll arrange it right away!"

  Shuerka was a little helpless. He was actually reluctant to bring his parents from the countryside.

  Because he knows what's going on with this suite... Beria can definitely assign a separate villa to Shulka, but then he won't be able to monitor effectively.

Therefore, Shulka believes that at least a few of the neighbors of this apartment are members of the National Security Bureau. They pretend to be husband and wife or other families, and they are arranged here for long-term surveillance, or it can be said to protect Shulka's set. house.

   It feels bad to be watched, but there is nothing Shulka can do about it.

   Because there is no escape, even in the army, let alone in Moscow.

  Like Shulka's parents, aren't they being watched in the countryside? Instead, it would be safer to take them to the city and place them here.

  So Shulka didn't think too much about it. He went straight into his room, took out the small leather bag from his backpack, and found a cabinet to throw it in.

  One good thing about this house is that Shulka never has to worry about thieves.

If there is, then this thief will be the most unlucky thief, because they will be caught and inspected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the next second... These thieves will even be suspected of being German spies and sent to steal spy for information.

   So Shulka didn't even look at the safe in the closet.

   Then he lay heavily on the bed without taking off his shoes.

  Shuerka looked around, and suddenly felt a strange feeling... Although these were not arranged by Shurka, and some things were not satisfactory, Shurka finally had a place to stay.

   Or it can also be said that the duckweed that has been floating outside finally has a root.
