Chapter 800 Bribery

This is indeed a good idea, because the defense force of the German scientific research base in Penamünde is not weak, but the special forces that the British army can send are very limited. It is obviously not a good choice to let the special forces attack.

However, if the Polish guerrillas are allowed to attack while the British special forces attack from another direction, that is, the sea... This direction is unexpected by the Germans, and the defense is also the weakest, so it is really possible to succeed.

The only problem is, this is actually telling Shulka when the British will attack.

But of course Shulka would not agree so readily, he frowned in embarrassment: "Comrade John, this is not a trivial matter, that is the Polish guerrillas, a considerable part of our intelligence sources and sabotage Germans The main force of logistics, their loss means the improvement of the German logistics situation!"

John is a sensible person, and he immediately understood the meaning of Shulka's words.

"This is not a problem, Comrade Shulka!" John said: "Of course we will give you a considerable amount of compensation! In addition..."

As he said that, John kicked the small suitcase he brought with him in the direction of Shulka, and Shulka immediately understood that this was a personal bribe for him.

At that moment, Shulka's thoughts were very complicated. He had never faced such a situation, that is, the bribery of intelligence personnel... Although he knew that this was often done by British intelligence personnel, it was actually done by intelligence personnel from all over the world. People even sent whole boxes of counterfeit British pounds and US dollars to intelligence personnel for them to distribute around.

So Shulka is now in a dilemma: accept it, and there will be a handle in John's hands in the future; don't accept it, it seems that the kindness is hard to turn down, and this suitcase looks heavy, to be honest Very tempting for Shulka too.

Although Shulka also knows that he doesn't have many opportunities to use these bribes, who doesn't love money?

After thinking about it, Shulka gave an unnatural "huh" and then said: "Okay! Comrade John, I will report the situation you mentioned to my superiors and seek approval, but of course, this It depends on whether your compensation is enough for us to use the Polish guerrillas!"

"Of course!" John replied with a pun: "Don't worry, Comrade Shulka! We won't let you down!"

Then John stood up contentedly and shook hands with Shulka, saying: "I wish us a happy cooperation, Comrade Shulka!"

"Happy cooperation!" Shulka replied.

After John left, Shulka rubbed the overcoat that was hanging on the chair on the ground with an excuse, and when he bent down to pick it up, he picked up the small suitcase under the table in the overcoat, and then told Ah Kadievich found an excuse and went upstairs to the second room on the corner... It was the dormitory that Beria had arranged for Shulka.

After locking the door, Shulka opened the suitcase and took a look. As expected, there was a whole box of large-denomination banknotes, some of which were rubles, and the rest were British pounds.

John seems to have considered this point very carefully. The ruble is for Shulka to spend in the Soviet Union, and the British pound is the international currency, which can be spent no matter where you go.

That is to say, if Shulka's acceptance of bribes is revealed in the future and he needs to defect, it is time for the pound to play a role.

Shuerka didn't think much, he threw the suitcase on the bed and covered it with a quilt, and then went downstairs.

It was not until the next day when Beria came back from a meeting to talk to Shurka that Shurka mentioned this matter to Beria.

"I received a box of money, Comrade Beria!" Shulka said: "I think it's a bribe for me!"

"Oh?" Beria raised his eyebrows and asked with great interest, "Does anyone else know?"

"No, I don't know!" Shulka replied.

As soon as Shulka heard Beria ask this question, he knew that Beria thought the same as himself.

"You did a good job!" Beria nodded appreciatively.

Although there were not many words, both of them knew what was going on.

In fact, from the very beginning, Shulka never thought of taking this bribe for himself. He is not an idiot, and of course he knows that it is not a good thing to be caught by the British. The British can knead the dough in whatever way they want, otherwise the British just need to report to Akadyevich or someone else, and Shulka's treason will not go away.

So, the correct approach was to slap the table and reject John's bribe at that time.

However, the correct approach is not necessarily the best approach.

If the British think that Shulka has been bribed, they will safely obtain information from Shulka, and Shulka can selectively and windwardly give some information that is beneficial to the Soviet Union, such as continuing to Picking up the conflict between Britain and Germany, let Britain continue to open up the direction of the second front.

The reason why "cannot let other people know" is because no one can guarantee whether other people in the Soviet State Security Agency will be bribed by John... It is very common for intelligence personnel to bribe each other, especially among allies.

Reason It is relatively safe for allies to provide intelligence.

For example, in Britain and the Soviet Union at this time, the betrayal of intelligence between them can sometimes not be called treason but a kind of intelligence sharing... If the intelligence is sold to Germany, it will be reflected and discovered on the battlefield immediately. Not so with an ally, it can be good and hard to spot.

That's why Shulka avoids everyone.

Otherwise, if Shulka opened the box in the office and announced his innocence on the spot, the British would probably know about it immediately and then understand that Shulka was not really bought.

"It's in my dorm!" Shulka said, "I'll bring it later..."

"No, Comrade Shulka!" Beria said, "It's yours!"

"Mine? That's a lot of money!" Shulka said.

"I know!" Beria replied with a smile: "You deserve it. You didn't do anything to harm the interests of the Soviet Union. On the contrary, you won many benefits for the Soviet Union. The British are willing to give these...that's you earned, understand?"

"Yes, Comrade Beria!" Shulka was a little excited, because he suddenly changed from a poor man to a rich man, but he soon became embarrassed again: "But, I don't even know where to put it. where!"

It's true, Shulka is on the battlefield most of the time, there will be no place to hide money there, and there is no need.

Beria laughed: "Why don't you find a place to live in Moscow?"
