Chapter 859 NKVD 11th Division

Beria is indeed a treacherous and cunning man, this order can be said to serve multiple purposes in one fell swoop:

First of all, this can further strengthen the connection between Shulka and even the 82nd Infantry Regiment and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Previously, it was intentional to leak Shulka’s proposal to abolish the political commissar system, but now Shulka and the 82nd Infantry Regiment are appointed as the instructors of the Internal Affairs Forces and Border Guards. The Military Ministry of the Interior is a ally of the military, not an enemy.

Secondly, it can increase the combat effectiveness of the Ministry of Internal Affairs army in series.

Increasing combat effectiveness is secondary, because the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ combat tasks are not urgent. They mainly target domestic guerrillas, search for traitors, and public security.

But the result of weak combat effectiveness is that they cannot be recognized by the army... The army is a very realistic unit. They only respect those troops that can fight tough battles. Everything else is just a cloud, especially in wartime.

This is also one of the reasons why the political commissar system was abolished by Stalin, because the main contradiction at this time must be the contradiction between the national army and the enemy rather than internal political struggle.

Therefore, Beria hopes that the internal affairs force and border guards can also become a force capable of fighting and respected by the army.

In the end, Beria's move actually helped Shulka out of the siege.

You must know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Political Affairs are potential competitors. At this time, Shulka is being blamed by the Ministry of Political Affairs. If the 82nd Infantry Regiment continues like this, it will be difficult to display or even increase many variables in the subsequent training and combat. .

But if Shulka and his 82nd Infantry Regiment are all drawn to the Ministry of Internal Affairs as instructors... the Political Department will be uncomfortable. To be precise, it is not just uncomfortable, it can be described as "self-inflicted".

Sure enough, after hearing the news, Kirillovich immediately expressed his opposition.

"No, I don't agree!" Kirillovich said: "The 82nd Infantry Regiment is an excellent unit. I think it should stay on the battlefield instead of serving as an instructor!"

"Even if you are an instructor, you are still on the battlefield, Comrade Kirillovich!" Shulka replied: "We are going to teach them how to fight, and of course we will eventually take them to the battlefield!"

"But...that's the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."

"Is there any question?" Shulka asked back.

"No, no problem!" Kirillovich thought for a while, then asked again: "Does the Supreme Command know about this?"

"I don't know!" Shulka replied: "I just received an invitation from the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

"So we can refuse!" Kirillovich said.

"In principle, you can say that!" Shulka replied: "But I want to accept this task!"

Kirillovich didn't say anything to Shulka. He immediately went to the radio station to contact his superiors, hoping to seize the opportunity.

A smile appeared on the corner of Shulka's mouth.

He actually said this to embarrass Kirillovich, because Shulka knew that if Beria asked Akadievich to notify Shulka, then the above things must have been arranged.

Beria is not easy to deal with, how could he leave such a big loophole for the people of the Political Department to take advantage of.

Sure enough, after a while Kirillovich came back in disgrace and said: "The Supreme Command decided to send us to Milovy to train the 11th NKVD Infantry Division!"

"So..." Shulka asked deliberately: "Do you agree, Comrade Kirillovich?"

Kirillovich didn't answer, just gritted his teeth and walked out of the headquarters.

Both Andrianka and Mikhailovich couldn't help laughing, and Andrianka even imitated Kirillovich's accent and replied: "Of course, Comrade Shulka, I don't agree." What else can I do?!"

Milove, before the war, had always been the focus of the southern army's contention. It was only now that Shulka was able to lead his troops into this long-known city.

Perhaps because the NKVD troops knew that their instructor regiment, the 82nd Infantry Regiment, was coming, so they organized a large number of people to welcome them on both sides of the street...

It was later that Shulka realized that this was because Shulka was thinking too much, and the NKVD troops would not be so friendly to ordinary troops, even if this unit would become their instructors.

These people are spontaneously organized to welcome the 82nd Infantry Regiment.

Of course, other troops do not have such treatment.

Because in addition to the first batch of airborne troops, there are too many troops that will pass through Miloway in the future. If the people of Miloway welcome every troop, I am afraid that they will not have to do things and stand on the street every day.

But the 82nd Infantry Regiment is different. The people of Miloway have heard of the "Breakout Heroes" and of course they know the 82nd Infantry Regiment.

On the other hand, this is a short period of peace between battles, and the car soldiers who come and go to transport supplies will quickly bring the news out.

While the 82nd Infantry was still on its way to Milloway, word got out.

Maybe it was just a very simple greeting. The car soldier poked his head out of the window and shouted to the marching soldiers: "Hey, comrade! Where are you going?"

"Melloway, is there any other place from this road?"



Then, the auto soldiers brought the news to Miloway, and then the whole Miloway was boiling, because the people knew that the 82nd Infantry Regiment was coming.

So, when the 82nd Infantry Regiment marched into Milloway, there was a burst of warm cheers immediately, and many of them shouted from both sides:

"Comrade, are you the 82nd Infantry Regiment?"

"Comrade Shulka is your head?"

"Where is he?"



Of course, no one dared to say who or where Shulka was.

Just kidding, Shulka didn't dare to take this risk, he knew that there were German spies everywhere, and revealing his identity in such a crowded situation was almost courting death.

Shuerka is certainly not the kind of person who would risk his life just to show off, so he chose to stay in the car in a low-key way... At this time, Shurka has completely given up on the jeep.

As for those NKVD soldiers, they are here to maintain order, this is their duty.

Twenty minutes later, the car followed the troops into the barracks of the 11th NKVD Infantry Division.

Shulka noticed that Kirillovich had a very serious face when he got out of the car, as if he was going to the execution ground.

As soon as he got out of the car, a major came up to meet him. He only glanced at Srillovich, then went straight to Shulka and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Comrade Shulka! I am the 11th NKVD Division staff officer Gorokhov, welcome to come!"
