Chapter 819: persuade to surrender

??Chapter 819 Persuading surrender

?? "Paulus?" Zolotarev and Trufanov exclaimed almost simultaneously.

?? "Why is he the key?" Trufanov asked: "I mean, he is indeed the key, but we can't use it, can't we?"

"You mean... assassination?" Zolotarev said, but quickly denied the conjecture: "No, even if he was successfully assassinated, it would not affect the morale of the Sixth Army, and it might even make the Germans Together with the enemy!"

?? "Of course not an assassination!" Shulka replied: "I mean... German soldiers were influenced by Paulus or German propaganda, so they didn't know the battle situation and kept their morale, but Paulus himself knew the battle situation!"

?? "Of course he knows!" Trufanov spread his hands: "But of course he won't tell others, will he?"

?? Obviously, Trufanov was somewhat confused by Shulka.

"Of course!" Shulka replied: "However, the German soldiers didn't know the truth and thought they had hope of breaking through, so they could ignore the amnesty. Paulus knew the truth, he knew that the 6th Army's chance of breaking through was very small, so... he could ignore the amnesty order?"

??Hearing this, Trufanov and Zolotarev couldn't help being stunned.

?? After a while, Trufanov said: "Shurka, you really want to persuade Paulus to surrender, commander of the 6th Army! No, this is crazy, it has almost no chance of success!"

Zolotarev objected: "Although I also think its success rate is very low, why don't we try it? It's not bad for us, is it? If there is a harm, it is the loss of a few spies, But if it succeeds, the benefit it can bring is the 6th Army, the entire 6th Army!"

?? This is of course, if Paulus is persuaded, he only needs to raise his arms... Those subordinates who originally planned to hesitate between surrendering and not surrendering must have surrendered with Paulus.

?? "Yes!" said Shulka, "It's no loss for us!"

The reason why Shulka made this suggestion is not only because of "no loss", but also because he knew that Paulus had the heart to surrender... In history, he brought his troops to surrender to the Soviet army, so don't think about it. , Paulus at this time must be more entangled than his subordinates.

?? "So, what should we do?" Trufanov, he was obviously convinced, because things are indeed as Shulka said, even if they fail, there will be no loss.

?? "I think we need to contact the Security Bureau first!" Shulka said.

??Trufanov and Zolotarev couldn't help but look at each other, neither of them liked dealing with people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

?? But now it seems that we have to do this, because the German spies who instigated the rebellion have always been contacted by the Security Bureau, and the Political Department and the army have no relevant contacts at all.

?? This point was of course Shulka's intervention, because at this time Shulka could even be regarded as half of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not to mention that he had a personal relationship with the director of the Security Bureau Akadyevich.

??Akadyevich received the telegram and was silent for a while before agreeing.

?? But this does not mean that Akadyevich is not willing to help Shulka.

??Akadiyevich is going to report to Beria.

?? Beria was overjoyed when he saw this telegram, and he, who has always been able to keep calm, even stood up excitedly at that moment.

?? "Very good!" Beria ordered to Akadyevich: "Fly to Miloway immediately, use the fastest speed, and do our best to cooperate with Comrade Shulka!"

?? It is not surprising that Beria would be so excited.

??It is necessary to know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as the main force responsible for domestic internal defense, has always lacked combat achievements and has become ill-fated.

??At the same time, as mentioned before, both Beria and Khrushchev are fighting for the support or control of the army, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has always been at a disadvantage in this regard.

??But now, Shulka has created an opportunity for the Ministry of Internal Affairs...to persuade Paulus to surrender.

For the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was like a big pie falling from the sky, knocking Beria unconscious. Although Beria also knew that the success rate of persuading Paulus to surrender was extremely low, but if it succeeded, then the encirclement and annihilation The 6th Army and even the victory of the Stalingrad Defense War, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a lot of money.

?? Therefore, Beria stopped Akadyevich when he turned to leave, and added: "If necessary, all resources of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be used!"

?? "Yes, Comrade Beria!"

??So half an hour later, Akadievich boarded a plane to Znamensk, and then appeared at the 51st Army headquarters that night.

??Akadyevich embraced Shulka enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "Comrade Shulka, I didn't expect us to meet so soon!"

?? "Yes, Colonel!" Shulka said: "Nice to meet you!"

While holding Shulka's hand, Akadyevich glanced at Zolotarev next to him, and said, "Comrade Beria is very satisfied with your performance, so I have been sent to assist you in your work. If you need anything, tell me!"

??Shuerka was a little helpless.

?? Obviously, the reason why Akadyevich emphasized so high-profilely that "Beria is very satisfied with you" is that besides praising Shulka, it is more important to tell Zolotarev, the political commissar.

?? Needless to say what its intention is, it is to imply that Shulka is a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then he can tell Khrushchev through Zolotarev.

?? At the same time, it also means to further force Shulka to stand in line.

??What else can Shulka do? He can only acquiesce.

?? "The way it is!" Shulka said: "We need someone close to Paulus, I hope you have such a spy!"

?? "Of course!" Akadyevich took out a document from the folder and handed it to Shulka, saying, "I'm ready, he will be a very suitable candidate!"

??Shuerka took the document and took a look. Colonel Bergman, staff officer of the 14th Armored Army.

??Shuerka nodded. If it is an ordinary staff officer, it may not be enough, but if it is a staff officer of the armored army... You must know that the main force and elite of the German army are the armored forces, and it is obviously very important to be able to serve in the staff of the armored army.

Akadyevich joked: "It was our luck that we were able to capture him. This guy seemed to be showing his courage to go to the battlefield. One night he personally led the troops to observe the terrain, and it happened that we were organizing a counterattack at that time." ,then…"

?? Needless to say, the unlucky colonel was captured by the Soviet army and gave some useful information, and then the information became the handle of the Soviet army and then released him back to become a very valuable spy.
