USSR 1941

  Chapter 169 Mess

  The guerrilla headquarters quickly entered the cancellation process, and even General Kirponos had nothing to do about it, because as long as he said "violation of Order No. 270", no one could stop it.

  So, Admiral Kirponos just patted Shulka on the shoulder and left.

   "Withdraw!" Major Gavrilov said: "We have tried our best, this is not your fault!"

   Shulka nodded silently, and then the assistant, under the command of Major Varenka, began to sort out the documents and seal them up.

Shulka seemed to lose all sense of the people coming and going in front of him. He couldn't understand why it was so difficult to do something in the Soviet military system, and even some things were clearly correct, and other people knew it was correct. Even those in the Ministry of Internal Affairs knew in their hearts that this was the right thing to do... but to kill it in the bud.

   "What about the guerrillas sent out?" Major Varenka asked.

   "Stop the operation and get them ready to retreat!" Major Gavrilov said: "We will arrange for people to withdraw them!"

  Major Varenka nodded, and then communicated the order through the radio.

Shulka couldn't watch or listen anymore, stood up and walked out of the office, and then habitually walked into the lounge next door... There are no good memories here, and it is not a good place to hide, Shu Just as Erka was about to leave, he found the assistant instructor resting on a bed in the corner.

   "Finally you can rest for a while, can't you?" said the assistant instructor.

  The assistant instructor has not been idle during this period. On the one hand, he needs to do ideological work for the teaching group, and on the other hand, he is also responsible for the distribution of propaganda and mobilization tasks for the guerrilla squad.

   "Yes!" Shulka said, and went to the window to look out at the pattering rain.

   "So this is not a bad thing!" The deputy instructor got up, walked up and handed Shulka a cigarette... German cigarettes, the front army headquarters has no shortage of such things.

  The two lit cigarettes for each other, and Shulka took a long puff of smoke and said, "Thank you, Comrade Deputy Instructor, if it wasn't for what you said...I don't think this matter would have ended like this!"

Shulka knew this very well. The main reason why the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs changed their attitude towards him so quickly was because of the deputy instructor...the assistant instructor was sent by them to monitor Shulka, so his words were the most persuasive. Guiding significance.

   "You don't have to thank me, Comrade Shulka!" The deputy instructor replied coldly: "I'm just telling the truth!"

   "But..." Shulka said: "There are not many people who dare to tell the truth, are they?"

  The deputy instructor was taken aback for a moment, then smiled stiffly, and replied: "Yes!"

  This answer surprised Shulka, because as the deputy instructor, he shouldn't have answered like that. He should have scolded Shulka with a straight face, or just pretended he didn't hear it.

  His "yes" means that the assistant instructor is also making mistakes and giving others the blame. If Shulka goes to make a small report...the assistant instructor will pay the price for this mistake.

   "Why?" Shulka asked, "You shouldn't have answered like that!"

"Then how should I answer?" The deputy instructor asked back: "Are you indifferent if you continue like this? No, Comrade Shulka, we should change. If this continues, Kyiv will be finished, Moscow will be finished, and we... will also be finished. Already!"

   As he spoke, the assistant instructor took a puff of his cigarette, looked out the window and fell into deep thought.

  Shuerka somewhat understood what the assistant instructor meant.

  If it is in peacetime, there is no big problem with this system, and you can toss about it as you like behind closed doors.

   But now it is a time of war, and it is a critical moment... There will be problems if it continues like this.

   Not only is there a problem, but the problem is even bigger. It can almost be said that it is fighting the enemy with its own hands and feet tied.

  War should be unscrupulous, not limited to only rushing and fighting but not guerrilla warfare.

  From this point of view, Shulka does not seem to need to thank the assistant instructor, because helping Shulka is helping himself.

   "Do you know?" said the assistant instructor: "I'm Estonian, I wasn't even allowed to go to the front line for a long time, and now I finally got my dream status, only to find out that it might be wrong..."

  Although the assistant instructor didn't go into details, Shulka understood what he meant.

   Estonia was ruled by Tsarist Russia in history. It declared independence after World War I, but only 21 years later, that is, in 39 years, the Soviet Union once again included Estonia in its sphere of influence.

   These are easy to say, but there must be cruel struggles in reality... Almost all officers of the Estonian Army were forced to retire, and some of them were even executed and sent to Siberia.

  The deputy instructor was an Estonian, but he was able to gain the trust of the Soviet army to become a deputy instructor... The setbacks in this are unimaginable to outsiders.

   But what is more painful, as he said, is to climb to this position after going through all kinds of hardships, but the belief is shaken, that is to say, I found that I was wrong.

   "So, you are responsible for this, understand?" said the assistant instructor.

   "What?" Shulka didn't understand what the assistant instructor meant.

   "I believe you are right!" said the assistant instructor, "Don't let me down, or I will send you to prison with my own hands!"

   Shulka laughed: "But what can I do now? They have dismantled the guerrilla headquarters!"

   "I believe you are not just the guerrilla headquarters!" The deputy instructor said: "If that is the case, then you are not worthy of my life's work or even my life to speak for you!"

  The assistant instructor's words are not exaggerated at all. He said good things for Shuerka before, but he actually used himself as a guarantee for Shuerka.

  If the Ministry of Internal Affairs insists that Shulka is a traitor who violated Order No. 270, then the deputy instructor will also be finished.

  As an assistant instructor, he shouldn't be so stupid.

   But he was so stupid, he chose to side with Shulka.

   It's ironic that a man sent to spy on Shulka has become his accomplice.

   "Now!" The deputy instructor threw the cigarette **** that was left on the ground and stamped it out with his feet: "I have done what I should do, and the rest is up to you! Comrade Shulka!"

  The assistant instructor walked back to the bed, lay down very gracefully and covered the quilt, and then really fell asleep...because Shulka heard snoring.

  Shuerka could only smile wryly at the window alone, he is not a god, so what can he do in such a mess?
