Chapter 946 Malashenko's Troubles

After going through all the above processes and details carefully, Malashenko finally realized that his "favor" for Karamov was indeed a bit too much, so that even Political Commissar Petrov asked an ironic question like "Can you bear it?"

Political Commissar Petrov, who was more careful than Malashenko, had actually noticed the subtle and subtle changes in Karamov a long time ago. But Political Commissar Petrov knew clearly that he could not deal with Karamov's problems by himself, nor was it convenient to take the initiative to ask Malashenko. If this kind of thing was not done well, it would leave a rift, which would be very detrimental to the unity of the troops in the long run.

The shrewd Political Commissar Petrov only consciously or unconsciously actively influenced Malashenko at the subconscious level, asking Malashenko to go to the grassroots troops and walk around among the soldiers.

As Political Commissar Petrov expected, Malashenko, who talked to the soldiers about everything, realized that something was wrong after a few days.

Whenever Karamov was mentioned, everyone either kept their heads down and didn't speak, or they grumbled and cursed behind his back. Malashenko even accidentally saw someone spitting in Karamov's direction.

On the surface, they didn't dare to offend the popular person around the brigade commander and the chief eunuch of the entire brigade. The battalion commanders of each combat battalion were afraid that the chief eunuch who held the power of logistics and maintenance would think of them and strangle them in some seemingly insignificant but actually fatal details.

Once the battalion commanders saw Karamov, they still had to smile. When they went to Karamov to receive the tanks and logistics supplies that had been repaired, they even had to bring Karamov some gifts, a few boxes of good cigarettes and a bottle of high-quality vodka.

Karamov, this idiot, also accepted everything, but what was even more bizarre was that this smart guy never enjoyed it himself, but sent it to the brigade headquarters to honor the brigade commander and the political commissar.

Malashenko, who had a big heart like a well, didn't realize what was going on for a long time. He thought that Karamov had sent the surplus supplies to the troops. Political Commissar Petrov was also silent, waiting for Malashenko to personally deal with the matter. This matter was indeed full of constraints and inconveniences for him to do.

Malashenko was hesitant and difficult to deal with Karamov's matter, but it was at this very delicate but important moment that Political Commissar Petrov, who realized that the time had come, finally stepped forward and chose to speak.

"If you want to deal with Karamov's problem immediately, then my advice is that you'd better not do it, and put this matter aside first and wait."

"If you take any measures against Karamov now, the results will be unpredictable. We can't rule out that someone will gloat over Karamov's misfortune or even take advantage of Karamov's misfortune. We don't know how many people Karamov has offended."

"Once such a situation happens, let alone you, even if I personally take action, I can't solve these problems. Karamov will inevitably feel a huge gap and frustration because of these setbacks, and the logistics and field maintenance camp he is responsible for are important factors related to the outcome of the battle, and are the key point that cannot have any problems."

Political Commissar Petrov put down the teacup in his hand. He believed that the Malashenko he knew could listen to these advices and understand them. Convincing Malashenko is the most critical point to solve the problem.

"Put the matter aside for now and deal with it after the battle of Stalingrad is over. Anyway, I estimate that it will not take more than half a month, and everything is basically a foregone conclusion."

"Another point is that objectively speaking, Karamov only has some problems at the subconscious level. According to my observation of him, he is still a good comrade worthy of trust. We must be cautious and prudent in dealing with Karamov's problems. We cannot ruin a good comrade because of this, but we cannot condone and cover up his talent and ability, because this will make more comrades feel disappointed."

"Similarly, it will also cause damage to your personal reputation, influence and leadership, so I believe you should be very clear about what to do and what not to do."

To be honest, these words of Political Commissar Petrov really touched Malashenko's heart.

Although Karamov has a bad reputation now, this is only limited to the level of bad reputation.

In terms of reality, Karamov has not made any major mistakes or neglected his duties. All the work he is responsible for is well organized and handled well.

If the problem lies there, Malashenko feels that it may be that Karamov was given too much power at once, causing a good comrade who could have been recognized by his comrades and superiors to lose himself a little.

Fortunately, it is still in the early stages, and Karamov is a guy with high IQ and EQ.

For such a smart person who is good at thinking, a little knocking may achieve very good results. Karamov, who feels that something is wrong, will definitely think about it. According to past situations, it should not be difficult for Karamov to figure out the problem and taste, as long as he is not deliberately playing crazy.

Thinking of this, Malashenko, who exchanged glances with Political Commissar Petrov, nodded slightly. Malashenko could read the taste of "heroes think alike" from Political Commissar Petrov's eyes, and what to do next was relatively clear.

"Then according to your idea, I will go to remind him from the side first, stop the car first, and then solve the problem after the battle?"

Hearing this, Commissar Petrov smiled slightly and nodded slightly.

"Okay, that's what I plan to do, so let's do it for now."

"Then let's do this. I'm good at military matters, but you still have to take charge of political issues. You should first consider how to handle this matter at the brigade headquarters after the war is over. We have to prepare something in advance. A solid plan.”

"Also, you must pay attention to both ends. Karamov looks carefree, but he always likes to think. I don't want to destroy him because of this matter. I can't find anyone to replace him now, okay? "

Malashenko asked in a tentative tone, not in a commanding manner.

Political Commissar Petrov certainly knew what Malashenko meant, and of course he expected such a result, so he grinned again without any surprise.

"Do you remember what I just said to you?"

"What?"

"I said you must be reluctant to let go, otherwise Karamov wouldn't have gone astray on his own. He knows best how much you care about him."

Malashenko blushed a little and didn't know how to answer for a moment. After all, among the thousands of words in the world, the truth is the most difficult to refute.

Malashenko, who was holding the commander's periscope in the turret, still vividly remembered the events that happened not long ago.

The infantrymen climbed up the engine tail hatch and hid behind the turret as a bunker. The roar of the Deshika heavy machine gun at the rear of the turret, which poured down bullets, could be clearly heard in the car.

Karamov has always been very serious about his work, and his handwork is always impeccable and close to perfection. Of course, this is what Malashenko appreciates most about him.

"Forget it. After the battle, we can just deal with it normally. Just let him know his mistake."

Malashenko sighed softly and thought so.
