USSR 1941

  Chapter 802 Combat Power

  In London, England, Churchill and his intelligence chief also rejoiced at John's progress in the Soviet Union.

   "It's a bit of a surprise!" Menzies said: "The 'Breakout Hero' was bought off so easily by us!"

   "No one doesn't like money, Stuart!" Petry said: "What's more, he received our money. In principle, he did not betray his country, because we are allies with the Soviet Union, which is very important!"

   "Maybe!" Menzies said. "But I don't understand why they put 'Breakout Heroes' in charge of this project. I mean, it's an NSA mission, and this secret is at stake!"

   "Perhaps, this secret was discovered by the 'Breakout Hero'!" Petri replied: "As we guessed before, the 'Breakout Hero' and his troops captured Karachi and found something there!"

   "But even so!" Menzies said: "The normal way is to hand over the information, and then the National Security Bureau is responsible, isn't it?"

   "Who knows?" Petri shrugged: "If you are interested, you can go and investigate!"

Churchill did not speak. After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, he said: "I am also thinking about this issue. I mean, if the 'breakout hero' is only in charge of this task temporarily, and he will return to the front line to fight soon, then he What is it worth to us?"

   This stopped Petri from asking.

Churchill is right, only working in the National Security Agency is more likely to get access to more useful intelligence, if you are fighting on the front line... the information Shulka knows may be valuable to Germany, but it is meaningless to Britain, because They are the ones who sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. They don't care who wins or loses. They only need to care about whether the war continues.

  Because it was MI5 who bought Shulka, Petri had to give an explanation.

"It will be useful, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" Petry said, "At the moment we can at least get the assistance of the Polish partisans. I believe we will have many unexpected surprises!"

   Churchill nodded and said, "I hope so!"

   What Churchill and Petri didn't know was that Shulka did give them some "surprises", but it was not about intelligence.

  The next day, John probed Shulka for this information.

  Since Shulka accepted John's small suitcase, John felt much more at ease with Shulka... This was not only because of "short hands", but also because he had a handle in his hands.

   "Comrade Shulka!" John said: "Partisan affairs..."

   "Applying!" Shulka replied: "I think it depends on how much compensation you can give!"

   "Of course!" John then asked again: "Comrade Shulka, I am a little curious. As a 'breakout hero', you are commanding operations on the battlefield. Why did you..."

   "It's none of your business, Comrade John!" Shulka grimaced.

  Shuerka knew that even if he took a bribe, he couldn't behave like a grandson, otherwise he would be led by this guy in the future.

"It's nothing, Comrade Shulka!" John approached Shulka and said: "I just thought, if one day you return to the army to fight, can I provide you with some information related to the German army! You know, mutual benefit ..."

   This is a good thing. After all, the information Shulka provided to the British is trendy, but the information John gave himself may be directly related to the outcome of the battlefield.

So Shulka nodded, and then whispered: "Okay, Comrade John! The superior hopes to get a month's supply. I'm talking about the cooperation of the guerrillas, at least not less than half a month's supply! "

  John nodded in satisfaction.

  This request is very reasonable. You must know that this is a guerrilla organization, and the value they can create in the future is likely to be far more than half a month's supply.

  If the British government didn’t know the Soviet Union’s cards, they wouldn’t know how to “call the price”. Now it would be much easier.

   Of course, John and the British government didn't know that what they were doing was a mission doomed to failure.

  The losses of the Soviet Union were minimal, and even the attack of the Polish guerrillas would not be hurt.

   Soon, the Soviet Union reached an agreement with the British government. The British government exchanged half a month's supply for the coordination of the Polish guerrillas, and another half month's supply in exchange for the command of the guerrillas.

   "They will send agents to receive the Polish partisans!" Beria said: "They don't want any problems in coordination!"

   Shulka nodded.

  The British are very smart in doing this. Even if the Polish guerrillas are only used to "build the plank road", it doesn't mean that they can just shoot a few shots at will and get away with it.

   It's just... If the British have the command, then the Polish partisans accidentally leaked the content of the plan, let alone the Soviet Union.

   "Of course, only a part of the guerrillas will perform the task!" Beria said: "What the British need is manpower!"

   Of course Shulka understood what he meant.

   What the British really needed was manpower, so before giving command to the British, most of the guerrilla cadres went on other missions or merged into another sector.

  Of course, these are actually trivial matters. The important thing is that the British operation cannot succeed this time, but it is a breeze.

   "You've done a good job, Comrade Shulka!" Beria said, "But this time I'm not looking for you to talk about that, I want to hear your thoughts on the army!"

   "What do you think about the army?" Shulka was a little puzzled.

   "Yes!" Beria picked up the coffee on the desk and took a sip.

   "I don't know...what you mean, Comrade Beria!" Shulka said.

   "This is a time of war, Comrade Shulka!" Beria said: "The most important thing for an army during a war is combat effectiveness, so I only care about combat effectiveness!"

"Oh, yes!" Shulka said: "The combat effectiveness of our army has been improving. You know, they have learned a lot when fighting the enemy. The soldiers are constantly growing in battle, and the officers' command is getting better and better. Getting more proficient..."

  Suddenly, Shulka stopped talking.

  He realized why Beria cared about the combat effectiveness of the army.

  Because, if there is anything that hinders the development of the army on the battlefield and makes its combat effectiveness and command low, it is the political commissar who can't fight but has command power on the battlefield.
