USSR 1941

  Chapter 727 is farther

   Soon, Major Bauer was taken to Akadievich's temporary headquarters.

  Just as the German army usually executes the Soviet political commissar, if the Soviet soldiers know who is a party member among the captured German soldiers, they will also pull him to the side of the road and shoot him in the back of the head.

  Fortunately, Major Bauer did not get such treatment, but the few bruises on his face and the blood at the corner of his mouth told Shulka that he was not having an easy time.

   "Major!" A translator asked Bauer in German: "We need to know more about you!"

   The translation was brought by Akadyevich. The General Intelligence Bureau will never lack people who can speak German, otherwise they would not be able to do this intelligence.

   Major Bauer said nothing, looked at the few people in front of him with contemptuous eyes, and then smiled.

   "You'd better tell everything you know!" Akadyevich stepped forward and grabbed him, and said to him fiercely: "Otherwise you will know what happened to you!"

   "What will be the end?" Major Bauer asked back: "Shoot me in the head? Or send me to Siberia? I know what will happen to me, don't try to scare me!"

   "Really?" Akadyevich punched him hard, and then asked while punching: "So you know this? Or this, and this?!"

   "Comrade Akadyevich!" Shulka stopped this senseless behavior.

  As I said before, although Akadyevich is the director of the General Intelligence Bureau, the Soviets usually speak with their fists, and the Intelligence Bureau is no exception.

   "Let me try!" Shulka said.

  Akadyevich nodded slightly, then pushed Major Bauer to the ground, turned and walked away.

   Shulka offered Major Bauer a cigarette.

  Major Ball refused, although his eyes were full of desire.

   "Go on!" Shulka said: "If you are not afraid of death, would you still be afraid of smoking a cigarette?"

  Major Ball seemed to think it was reasonable, and then he took the cigarette and drank it with his bruised and bloodshot lips.

   Shulka helped him light it up.

   Before Shulka could speak, Major Bauer said: "If you think this will make me speak, then you are wrong!"

   "Of course not, Major Bauer!" Shulka replied with a smile: "Have you ever thought that you have the hope of going back alive?"

   "Do you think I have?" Major Bauer laughed: "I know your tricks, trick you into what you want, and then..."

  Shuerka smiled and shook his head: "You are an anti-aircraft artillery battalion, you should know that the information you know is actually of little use to us!"

  Major Bauer couldn't help being taken aback, this is right.

  What important information can the antiaircraft artillery battalion know? All they have to do is to disperse to a certain anti-aircraft artillery position according to the order, and then pay attention to the enemy's fighter planes in the air...the value of intelligence they can know is not even as much as that of an infantry soldier. The location of the tank guns was almost unknown to the anti-aircraft artillery units.

   "Then...why do you want to know more?" Major Ball asked suspiciously.

   Shulka didn't answer, he wanted to whet Major Bauer's appetite first, or it could be said to brainwash him.

   As for how to brainwash, there are actually many examples.

   "Who do you think will win this war, Major Ball?" Shulka asked, lighting his own cigarette, like two soldiers gossiping in a trench.

   "Of course it is us!" Major Ball replied proudly: "We have already reached here!"

   "Really?" Shulka asked back: "If I'm not wrong, your situation in the African battlefield is not optimistic either!"

   At this time, Rommel's army encountered the British Alamein defense line in North Africa, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

   For Rommel, who was short of troops, equipment, and supplies, a stalemate was a disadvantage, and the longer the time, the less optimistic it would be.

   But Major Ball did not admit this.

   "On the contrary, Major!" Bauer replied: "We are invincible in North Africa!"

   "So..." Shulka said, "Do you think you can defeat Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and the United States at the same time?"

  At this time, although the United States has not directly participated in the war between Britain and Germany, it has provided a large amount of American equipment in North Africa and reached an agreement, and then landed in North Africa in November, that is, a few months later.

  Major Bauer showed some strangeness in his eyes, and then replied: "What are you talking about? I am already your prisoner, and these have nothing to do with me!"

"No, this is about you, Major!" Shulka asked: "Do you think you can defeat so many countries at the same time? Or, in other words, do you agree with your head of state? Simultaneously with Britain, France, the Soviet Union, America at war, and he's telling you that Germany will win the war! Do you believe he's right?"

  Major Bauer couldn't help being silent.

  In fact, as long as a normal person understands that this is impossible.

  If anyone still believed it when the German army quickly attacked the city of Moscow, then the failure of the Battle of Moscow and the deactivation of the Battle of Stalingrad have made most German officers and soldiers realize that this is an unwinnable war.

Shulka believes that Major Bauer thinks the same way, because he is a soldier on the front line, and he knows what kind of energy the Soviet army has, rather than those fanatical SS soldiers in the rear who blindly think that the failure of the front line is due to the army or It was the general who made the mistake.

   But Ball is still struggling.

   "France is already under our control!" Major Ball said: "The United States may not join the war!"

   "You think so?" Shulka laughed.

  This can't even convince himself that France is like a time bomb that may explode at any time, and it is only a matter of time before the United States enters the war.

   "Okay!" Bauer asked angrily, "What the **** does all this have to do with me?"

"If this is a war that cannot be won!" Shulka continued: "Then Major Bauer, I hope you will think clearly whether what you are doing now is saving Germany or dragging Germany to the bottomless the abyss!"

   When Shulka said this, Major Bauer was stunned.

  The high quality of the German army also has its two sides.

  High quality can enable them to play a stronger subjective initiative on the battlefield, and sometimes it is even a stroke of genius.

  But it also has its side effects. These high-quality and better-educated officers and soldiers will think about the outcome of the war and the future, and they will see farther.

   And Shulka just wants them to see further.

   If Major Ball could see further, then Shulka would have succeeded.
