USSR 1941

  Chapter 726 Spy

"Uh... just a little trouble!" Shulka replied: "As you can see, the 51st Army is blocked by the enemy here and cannot move. There are thousands of casualties every day, and the situation is getting worse and worse as time goes by. The less optimistic you are!"

   Shulka did not tell Akadyevich the truth.

It's not that Shulka doesn't trust Akadyevich, but Shulka understands that even if Akadyevich knows about things like this, it won't help, and it will even embarrass him... You must know that Vchenko was sent by the Supreme Command, and he could even represent Stalin to a certain extent.

  So Akadyevich would feel very embarrassed when he knew this... If he can't help Shulka, he needs to explain more.

Akadyevich, failing to see Shulka's strangeness, laughed and said: "I am not worried about that at all, Comrade Shulka! No enemy can stop you, touch you, I only worry about your enemies!"

   Shulka smiled wryly.

Maybe Akadyevich is right. If you really want to break through the line of defense in front of you, it may not be difficult. The difficulty is that the 51st Army can't break through, and at the same time Shevchenko is driving the soldiers forward to die... This has become an unresolved knot.

  At this moment, Shulka suddenly frowned, raised his head and asked, "Comrade Akadyevich, why don't we develop our own 'spies' like the enemy?"

   "Develop your own 'spy'? What do you mean?" Akadyevich didn't understand Shulka's words.

   "I mean the captives, those German officers we captured... I don't think their value should just be sent to Siberia for drudgery!"

   "You mean... put them back like the Germans used captives?"

   "Yes!" Shulka said, "Why not? If they can provide us with information!"

"A very good idea!" Akadyevich nodded heavily, and said, "Before that, we only thought of them as invaders and enemies. If they are to be punished with the cruelest punishment, they must not be allowed to escape. I never thought that they could be used to play a greater role..."

   Speaking of this, Akadyevich hesitated for a while, and then said: "But this requires the consent of the superior, even the consent of Moscow!"

   "Of course!" Shulka replied.

  If you do this privately, you will most likely be charged with "collaborating with the enemy".

   But this shouldn't be a problem, because for the Siberian wasteland, an officer is no more valuable than a soldier, but on the battlefield, the role that can be played in the intelligence system is obviously much greater.

   Sure enough, it didn't take long for Akadyevich, who was in contact with his superiors, to return.

   "The superiors are very supportive of this plan, Comrade Shulka!" Akadyevich said excitedly: "You have opened up a new intelligence direction for us! Besides, I don't know if you have time?"

   "What?" Shulka pretended not to understand what Akadyevich meant.

"I hope you can organize this plan with me!" Akadyevich looked at Shulka with sincere eyes: "You know, we usually rarely deal with combat troops, even the enemy's. So , this plan needs more people like you to participate, and now I am not sure who is trustworthy and proficient in these!"

   Akadyevich was right.

   This plan is first of all to break through the psychological defense of the captives, and as the intelligence department, Akadievich and others are not good at this... because they don't understand the psychology of the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line.

  Secondly, you need to know some basic military knowledge, so that you can know which aspects of intelligence are most needed by the military or front-line combat troops.

   And it takes someone like Shulka involved.

  Actually, this was what Shulka was waiting for, but he still frowned pretending to hesitate, and said, "I don't know, Comrade Akadyevich! The superior..."

   "I will deal with this problem!" Akadyevich replied immediately: "I will arrange everything, you and your subordinates, at least in these few days, I mean before I find a suitable candidate!"

   "Okay!" Shulka nodded.

   "Great!" Akadyevich hugged Shulka excitedly.

   It is not without reason that Akadyevich was in such a hurry.

There is a time limit for developing a prisoner into a spy. It is impossible to capture a German colonel a month ago, and then release him after developing into a spy, and then let the German army believe that he escaped by himself... The discipline of the German army is not good. As loose as the Soviet army, they will record and register the missing and dead in detail, and will also conduct interrogations on these returning officers and soldiers, and will send them back to the army only after they are confirmed.

  So, this kind of thing should be as soon as possible.

  It’s best to just capture a captive, develop him into a spy within a few days and then release him back, telling them that they were not captured at all, they just hid in the forest or somewhere to find a chance and escaped.

The Germans often do this, because there are indeed many Soviet officers and soldiers in this situation... The main reason is that this is the land of the Soviet Union, and there are Soviet civilians everywhere, so many officers and soldiers who were injured or separated from the main force were among the civilians or It was the cover or protection of the underground guerrillas who fled back to the Soviet-controlled area, and Mikhailevich was one of them.

   And among the officers and soldiers who fled back, there were actually many spies developed by the German army mixed in, so the Soviet army was always hard to guard against.

   Now that Akadyevich wants to do the same, he must do it as soon as possible.

   Soon, Akadyevich and Shulka were presented with a document about the prisoners.

  The two looked for candidates while looking for candidates. Shulka picked one of them and handed it to Akadyevich, saying, "Major Ball, commander of the 83rd Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion!"

   "Well, is there anything special about it?" asked Akadyevich.

  "His anti-aircraft artillery unit was completely wiped out by us, and almost none of them fell!" Shulka replied: "Do you know what this means?"

  Akadyevich said "Oh" and said: "No one knows whether he has been captured!"

   "Yes!" Shulka said: "All he needs is a lie, such as where to hide, and when the enemy leaves, he will take a detour and escape, and what route he will take to return!"

  Akadyevich looked at the end of the document, then frowned, and said: "This guy is a party member, I hope he was not executed, maybe...he is not so easy to persuade!"

   "We have to at least try!" Shulka said.
