??Recommend a book from a friend: Rebirth of the Almighty Richest Man, by Ming Qiao. Rebirth means that the cards in your hand are all king bombs. Holding Wang Zha full of hands and being reborn, Wei Mingrang not only wanted to let his family live a good life, but also changed the fate of countless people.

??**********

Shulka admitted that there is no way to deal with his own people. For him, it is more dangerous to deal with the enemy, but it is very simple, because you only need to achieve one goal, that is to knock the opponent down while you are still alive... Then, you can use everything Means include cheating, cheating, abducting, and cheating.

??In fact, "stealing and abducting" the enemy is not called "swindling and abducting", it is called strategy.

??However, when Shulka faced his own people, he felt that there were many restrictions, because usually he could not hold a gun to his head or press his neck with a bayonet, let alone "swindle and abduct".

?? This made Shulka feel a little helpless.

??But the deputy instructor is different. He is familiar with the internal rules and systems of the army, and is very good at using them as his own tools to make every soldier afraid of his means.

??From this point of view, it is correct for the commander and the instructor to take care of the outside and the inside.

??In fact, this is Shulka's underestimation of himself, and it is a serious underestimation.

?? One day, when Shulka was discussing this with the sub-instructor, the sub-instructor looked at Shulka like an alien.

?? "Do you think you can't do anything to your own people?"

"Is not it?"

??The deputy instructor spread his hands: "If there is no other way, that Cossack will be willing to be punched by you without saying anything? His subordinates dare not make trouble in front of you?"

?? Shulka thought it was true.

?? "Come on, Comrade Shulka!" said the deputy instructor: "If it weren't for you, this army wouldn't be what you see it at all, understand?"

?? "But I didn't do anything!" Shulka said puzzled, "I mean internal reorganization!"

?? "No, you did it!" The deputy instructor said: "You led them to defeat the enemy time and time again, and that's the most important thing!"

So Shulka understood what the deputy instructor meant. This is what people usually call prestige. Because Shulka won the battle, he established prestige in the army. Simply put, the soldiers habitually think that listening to Shulka Erka's is right.

??So Shulka doesn’t need to do anything, he doesn’t even need to have good marksmanship or amazing arm strength or play with the system and rules like an instructor, the soldiers naturally dare not challenge Shulka.

??What Shulka didn't know was that the reason why he had a friendly "conversation" with Captain Bogdan of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Kyiv before was because of his prestige, otherwise it should not have been a conversation but a direct arrest.

??Even Captain Bogdan would believe that a large part of the deputy instructor's "rehabilitation" about Shulka was due to Shulka's previous achievements.

?? "You may consider removing Kuzia's squad leader!" The assistant instructor brought a cup of tea and handed it to Shulka.

??Crimea is rich in tea, and the deputy instructor got some from somewhere.

?? "I don't think it's useful, Comrade Deputy Instructor!" Shulka said after thanking him: "The Cossacks listen to him, so no one wants to be this squad leader!"

??Actually let alone the squad leader, even the veteran platoon leader can’t hold back, those Cossacks have formed their own faction...

?? "They should have been disrupted when they were organized!" Shulka said: "Unless they are transferred to different units now! But I don't think veteran comrades will agree with this approach!"

??The deputy instructor nodded in agreement.

??He is also very clear about the relationship between them. It is really not a big deal to transfer those Cossacks, and it can perfectly solve the problem of "forming cliques".

But the point is that this will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops: Although the Cossacks usually do some petty theft or bullying, they can also unite and advance together when fighting, even because they always cooperate to do some thieves The little touches work well with each other.

??If they are split up... first of all, the combat effectiveness of that squad will be lost, and the newly formed squad will have to be familiarized with again, and it is naturally unpopular for Cossacks to be inserted into other squads, and those who are usually bullied by them are unwilling to cooperate with them.

??It is not difficult to imagine that the combat effectiveness of the entire company will be affected, and as a result, more people will die.

?? There is nothing more serious than this, and this is the main reason why the Cossack squad has not been split... The 333rd regiment has always been fighting, and has always had combat needs, so it has not been able to split it.

?? "You are right!" said the assistant instructor, "You make the decision!"

?? Let’s talk about it after the defense of Moscow, Shulka said to himself... If he is still alive, he must remove the Cossack squad, and the Cossack squad leader must also be removed!

??Of course, this can only be done if the Cossack class, including himself, is still alive.

??Thinking of this, Shulka couldn't help sighing.

??In this battle that lasted for more than three months, the casualties of the Soviet army reached 650,000 people... This is more than half of the troops invested by the Soviet army.

??Who knows whether his army is part of the 650,000 people or not?

??The train continued to gallop forward with a rhythmic "click" sound, and finally arrived in Moscow five days later.

??Crimea is only 1,000 kilometers away from Moscow. If calculated at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, it would only take 20 hours. However, because of a large circle and waiting for scheduling, the journey was fully lengthened by 5 times.

??Everyone thought that the train would bypass Moscow and go straight to the battlefield... This is what the soldiers heard from other troops.

?? "The enemy is still tens of kilometers away from Moscow, so don't even think about going to Moscow to take a look. The train will turn a corner from the circular railway and throw you into the battlefield!"

?? It is well known that Moscow has a circular railway.

?? This circular railway forms a circle around the city of Moscow, which allows all trains that need to pass through Moscow to go in any direction it needs to go without entering the city.

?? Of course, if the final destination is Moscow, there is no need to circle this circular railway.

??So everyone was surprised when the train staggered off the circular railway and headed straight for Moscow.

?? "Are we going to Moscow? I mean inside the city!"

?? "Did they drive in the wrong direction?"

?? "Are we going to resist the enemy in Moscow?"

??…

?? Shulka looked out the window. It was seven o'clock at night, not too late. For the capital city of Moscow, it should be brightly lit.

?? But it is in the dark, and occasionally a roadblock and a sandbag bunker can be vaguely seen in the street. There are almost no pedestrians on the street, only groups of militiamen patrolling with guns on their backs.

?? It is clear that Moscow, like Kyiv and Odessa, entered a pre-war state of martial law.
