Steel Soviet Union

If you're joking, you're joking; if you're talking about business, you're talking about business.

For old friends Malashenko and Kotin, they must have their own sense of when to do what. After a brief joke, the first person to speak was Comrade Ma.

"Okay, let's chat later. Tell me quickly, what kind of treasures did you bring me this time? It's worth it for you to come so far to the front line."

Malashenko intuitively judged that if it was worth Kotin's personal involvement, then there must be "tough work". Kotin should not come all the way to do "bad work" in front of others, and Kotin The next answer was as expected.

"There are quite a lot of new things, what should I tell you first? Well, let me introduce to you first. I think you should be most interested in it."

Having known each other for a long time, Kogin basically figured out what Malashenko liked and what type of equipment he liked, and he thought he could guess almost everything.

And here is Malashenko.

Instead, he followed Kejin's pace and soon came to the nearest heavy tracked armored combat vehicle.

Before Kogin could say anything, Malashenko, who was standing in front of this giant steel body, first exclaimed. This terrifying thing in front of him didn't even need to be introduced by Kogin. Malashenko was able to describe its life experience. I'm pretty sure I guess.

"Oh my god, is this made of the IS6 body and chassis? Did you really make it before the Battle of Berlin?"

The huge steel body lying in front of Malashenko at this moment was reasonable but also made Malashenko feel a little surprised.

It is reasonable to say that it is because Malashenko has made an appointment with Kogin long ago. The thing in front of him must be built, and there are already mature design ideas and readily available technology.

To say that it surprised Malashenko is because Malashenko did not expect that this thing would actually be delivered to the leading division before the Battle of Berlin, as Kotin had promised. Put into actual combat use to enhance combat effectiveness and test equipment performance.

Although it is said to be an integration of ready-made reliable technology and mature shelf products, it is still a product born from the application of new designs. Malashenko originally thought that no matter how good Kogin was, it would take a lot of time to demonstrate the design and modify it. After the first prototype was trial-produced, there might be a second, third, or even more modifications. Supplementary versions are added to continuously improve and improve.

But I didn't expect that this old boy Ke Jing would even save the prototype car, and send a large number of complete equipment.

Malashenko didn't know how many of these vehicles Kogin had brought with him, but when he turned around, he discovered that there were many vaguely visible huge black figures parked in the not-so-distant night. In the dark under blackout.

Although the exact number cannot be seen clearly, there are definitely quite a few visible to the naked eye.

Facing Malashenko's surprised look, Kotin, who raised the corners of his mouth and was quite proud, just stepped forward and stretched out his hand, proudly patted the side armor plate of the steel beast in front of him and smiled.

"Look what you said, I will definitely do what I promised you, or do you remember when I broke an appointment?"

""

Malashenko smiled helplessly after hearing this, and when he thought about it carefully, Kogin was indeed right. Kogin had never let him down or failed to make an appointment beforehand.

"Okay, you're done being surprised. What I want to see is your expression. Now it's time to get down to business."

Upon hearing this, Malashenko immediately pricked up his ears and tried to listen carefully. He was even more attentive than when he took the class of the sexiest young woman teacher in his previous life at the university. He looked like this for fear of missing a little detail, and Ke Jing’s introduction also followed closely.

"First of all, as you can see, this is a new variant vehicle modified from the body and chassis of the IS6 heavy tank. The traditional turret has been removed and a new combat module has been installed."

"Of course, although the appearance of this combat module has changed a bit, I believe you can recognize it. To be precise, this is the real mass-produced version of the TOS-1 rocket assault tank we originally agreed on. What is in front of you is the finalized one The first batch of vehicles from the battalion you got earlier can only be considered trial versions at best, used to verify technology and obtain actual combat feedback data. "

"The production volume of the trial model of the previous version was too small. I don't think it is necessary to have a separate name. Maybe our descendants will dislike us for unnecessary naming."

"So the official version of this thing is also called TOS-1 rocket assault tank. Different from the previous trial version, this batch has received the official written approval from the General Administration of Equipment. This name will be in the Red Army equipment sequence from now on. The official name of the equipment in service, and your role in it being able to pass the review so quickly and obtain the production quota are indispensable. "

"Your actual feedback report and opinion letter, and Marshal Zhukov's approval, the entire approval process was passed with almost no delay. It was even faster than the last time IS7 was finalized and put into production, and the formal approval and production indicators were obtained. Even faster."

"Without your help, I estimate that this thing will not be finalized and put into production until next year at the earliest. It will not be able to catch up with the end of the Great Patriotic War, let alone participate in actual combat."

"As Shashmulin often said, we military workers who work on tanks and vehicles really have to thank you in the end. Without your help, the hard work we put in to perform our duties at our jobs would not be transformed into It will definitely take longer to become a practical dream product, and it is even uncertain whether the results can be approved and transformed.”

Although Kotin and Malashenko often exchange some polite words about carrying people in a sedan chair, this is always inevitable for the two people who hold high positions and often have to talk in front of their subordinates. It has nothing to do with whether they are sincere or not. No matter it is now or in the future, no matter how the world changes, it cannot be avoided. This is one of the essences of human interaction.

However, Malashenko could tell from what Kojin said now that he was truly sincere. Kojin was truly grateful for his "help."

Although this is indeed unnecessary in Malashenko's view, in pragmatic terms it is just "mutual help".

"I'm not just helping you, helping you is helping myself. I also hope to get useful equipment as soon as possible. This will allow more ordinary and brave soldiers to survive until the end of the war and return home with honor. Is there anything more worthy of pursuit than being reunited with your loved ones?”

At this point, Malashenko and Kotin, who looked at each other and found "identity" in each other's eyes, both smiled at the same time.
