Steel Soviet Union

Malashenko, who basically understood what Kotin meant, nodded.

The completion of the "Super Tank" 701 project is not only related to Kojing's own personal honor and future career. Malashenko also wants to change to this nearly invincible Steel Godzilla as soon as possible to let the group of German lawmen who don't know the heights of the sky. Heath felt the pain.

"I understand what you mean, Comrade Kotin. When I return to Moscow this time, I will find a way to submit some of my thoughts and opinions before I leave, but I can't guarantee how effective it will be. After all, I'm just a soldier. , not a talented designer like you, maybe my words don’t carry as much weight as your own.”

Malashenko's words are based on the fact that he has not been cordially received by his loving father, Comrade Stalin, but Kotin has long been a popular figure among his loving father, Comrade Stalin. This seems to Malashenko to be true. Makes sense.

But from the perspective of Kotin across the table, it is too important for Malashenko to make suggestions to Moscow!

What is the most lacking thing in the reports and opinions you submitted? It is the actual combat experience and results that are truly demonstrated through numerous military exploits! Written reports and opinions without the support of excellent practical results can only be empty talk, the purest theoretical concepts and paper talks.

Kotin, who has been squeezed out more than once because of the big bosses in Moscow questioning actual combat issues, is very depressed. Even the current IS1 heavy tank mass production plan was dragged into the current one because of such doubts and dogs. Caused by blood.

And now, with Malashenko, an excellent partner who has long been famous in the motherland, Kojing's most lacking problems in the field of practical combat have been completely made up for!

There are opinions and suggestions supported by Malashenko's identity, plus the theoretical basis support report submitted by himself, and the two are combined together.

Ke Jin feels that there may be few or no such perfect combinations in the world. If he were one of the big guys in Moscow, he would never be able to find any obvious problems.

If you question the theoretical basis and performance parameters, then I, Ke Jing, will personally come forward to overturn your doubts one by one.

If you question whether the new tank may encounter unexpected situations or be unsatisfactory when put on the battlefield, then I will bring up Malashenko and put it here, implying that if you have more actual combat experience than this person, you might as well go to the front line to find his theory in person. , and see if you convince him with your words, or if he finally convinces you with the head of a Kraut.

Of course, the confident Kojing took it for granted that no senior cadre and comrade who held a high position and cherished his life would be willing to do this, or even have the idea of ​​doing so.

Malashenko didn't know that Kojin was so excited and valued his thoughts, but even if he knew, Comrade Ma probably wouldn't take it too seriously. After all, cooperation is a win-win situation! He has such high value to Ke Jing. Strictly speaking, this is a great good thing.

People who have no use value will often be swept into the garbage dump of history. The word cooperation itself can be understood as a synonym for benign mutual use.

After finishing everything and specifically telling Kogin to give the new tank to him for actual combat testing, Malashenko embarked on a journey back home with great satisfaction.

However, what Malashenko, who was sitting in the hard-seat train carriage looking out the window at the beautiful winter scenery, didn’t know was that at this moment at the Kubinka weapons testing site in the western suburbs of Moscow, the Soviet Red Army troops who were waiting were preparing for a battle that would be devastating. A weapons test that will go down in history.

This year's Moscow is not as extremely cold as at the end of 2001 and the beginning of 2002. Relatively speaking, it can even be called much warmer.

Of course, this is only for the people who are born and raised on this land. For the group of fascist invaders who have been brainwashed by fanaticism, this winter will still take the lives of thousands of German soldiers. , including the wounded soldiers of the Sixth Army who were frozen into sticks.

In the past, weapons tests conducted in Kubinka also included many important projects. Big bosses from Moscow, not far away, often came to the site in person and sat around to watch.

But today, the people who came to eat melons and watch the excitement were indeed a little different from before, and they were very rare.

"Comrade Stalin, the testing work is ready to be completed. We can start at any time, just waiting for your order."

Because his subordinates were worried that the leader would catch cold due to the wind, they were asked to go indoors to warm up temporarily by the fire. Sitting by the heater, Comrade Stalin, who was wearing a military coat and was a loving father, still had his favorite small pipe in his mouth and took a sip at the end. After taking two puffs of cigarette, he stood up and responded to the captain of the guard who reported to him.

"Inform Zhukov that they are all in place and testing can begin."

"Okay, Comrade Stalin."

Waiting for the leader to enter before entering the room last. This is a stupid thing that newcomers in the workplace will do with low emotional intelligence. Veterans will rush to their places before the leader enters for the finale, such as taking a special plane from the front line. Zhukov and Vasilevsky rushed back.

"It seems that Comrade Stalin is very satisfied with this super weapon and has called so many people to watch it. Congratulations, Comrade Zhukov, the young man you cultivated has done another great thing for you to bring glory to you."

He moved two chairs and sat in the open space after the snow had been cleared to wait. After being praised by Vasilevskiy, Zhukov smiled proudly.

"Not only you, I also didn't expect that he could do such a sensational thing."

"When I received Vatutin's telegram, you can't imagine what my expression was like. In fact, even I can't describe it accurately. Comrade Stalin will definitely like this captured weapon, and its significance is not even Lost to those unfinished naval battleships."

While listening to Zhukov expressing his opinions, he nodded frequently and glanced at the other chairs around him from the corner of his eye. There were also bustling crowds arranged to come and watch.

Vasilevsky smiled mysteriously, then turned to Zhukov and laughed softly.

"Have you heard? The naming activity for this weapon has been completed. Comrade Stalin personally selected the one he was most satisfied with and completed the naming. No weapon has enjoyed this kind of treatment in the past."

Zhukov, who was busy running around on the front line, almost flew back to Moscow at the last minute. After getting off the plane, he drove straight to Kubinka to attend the test, so Zhukov said nothing to Vasilevsky. I don't know anything about it.

"Really? Tell me, what's your name?"

Vasilevsky, who was pretending to be mysterious, showed a proud expression of "I guess you won't know", and continued to smile and spoke slowly again.

"Considering how this weapon came about, and other political factors that you will certainly understand, the name ultimately chosen by Comrade Stalin himself was very monumental, and it was called Red Stalingrad."
