USSR 1941

"Like you designed something useful!" Shulka said. ★ Www.sLzwww New Ideas Chinese Network★

"I did!" Kalashnikov replied.

Kalashnikov was referring to his designs for tank machine gun counters and fuel consumption gauges.

"No, it's not just these!" Shulka said: "There are other things, which are important enough to attract the attention of the superiors!"

"It's almost impossible, Comrade Shulka!" Kalashnikov said. "There are a lot of people doing this, I mean the scientists..."

"They do!" said Shulka, "but don't you think they usually don't know what we need?"

Kalashnikov nodded in agreement.

In fact, the counters and fuel consumption meters he designed are not complicated, and they can be easily completed if the scientists design them. The problem is that the scientists don't know that the soldiers fighting on the front line need this.

"But what could that be?" Kalashnikov asked.

This question stumped Shulka.

He wanted to directly tell Kalashnikov to develop the AK47, and Shulka could even draw him a big picture if necessary.

The issue is……

At this time, the research and development of AK47 is afraid that it will not be accepted by the high-level Soviet army. The rifle that can fire continuously, and the bullets have to be redesigned... This will be considered a waste of some kind.

At least that's what Hitler thought. He thought that this kind of rifle is almost equivalent to equiping every soldier with a submachine gun, and the range is not as far as the enemy's bolt-type rifles and light machine guns. This is a huge impact on logistics and industrial production capacity. The performance may not be satisfactory due to the challenges.

Therefore, Hitler vetoed the production plan of the STG44 rifle, and then the military used the MP43, that is, the number of the submachine gun to deceive the head of state before it could be produced.

The Soviet Union, on the other hand, knew the power of the STG44 on the battlefield and then began to develop intermediate ammunition, so the AK47 came into being.

To put it simply, this kind of advanced consciousness is now proposed to subvert the entire country’s ammunition production line and even eliminate all bolt-type rifle designs, and it is a tank lieutenant or infantry second lieutenant who proposed this design... more likely to be directly Veto instead of getting Kalashnikov noticed by R\u0026D.

At the same time, Shulka also knew that Kalashnikov would not accept ideas and ideas that were directly proposed and then presented to him.

After thinking about it, Shulka said: "It can be anything, Comrade Kalashnikov! All the things we need, such as mine-sweeping tanks, why don't you improve it? I don't want to have to use the roller all the time. Demining the battlefield!"

"That's right, Comrade Shulka!" Kalashnikov couldn't help standing up when he heard the words: "Why don't we improve it? Design a special mine-sweeping tank!"

"Yes, that's what we need!" Shulka said. "It's better to use it on muddy ground, I mean... roller minesweeping is difficult on muddy roads, and soon we will be fighting on snow. There will be similar difficulties, and that's what we need, isn't it?"

"Exactly!" said Kalashnikov. "Why don't we use iron rollers instead of stone rollers?"

"That's right!" Shulka agreed: "Iron rollers will not be blown apart as easily as stone rollers. Even if they are crushed with anti-tank mines...it will only be blown with a hole, and this even It will not affect its continued demining!"

"Yes, it is an iron roller!" Kalashnikov said excitedly: "As long as we control its weight well, or give it some extra power, it will not become a burden on the tank, but it may increase the load on the tank." The contact area with the ground, so that it is less likely to get stuck in mud or snow..."

"Great idea!" said Shulka. "I almost saw minesweeper tanks marching towards enemy positions on the battlefield!"

"No, it was our idea, Comrade Shulka!" Kalashnikov said. "I couldn't have thought of this without your reminder!"

"Stop talking about this!" Shulka said: "I think you need to contact your friends in Stalingrad, and then let this tank appear on the battlefield as soon as possible, this is the most important thing!"

"That's right!" said Kalashnikov. "I'll go right away!"

After Kalashnikov left, Shulka couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If that doesn't get the developers to notice Kalashnikov, then it's their blindness to blame.

What Shulka didn't expect was that... the R\u0026D staff really noticed Kalashnikov, but at the same time they also noticed Shulka.

Because Kalashnikov told them very kindly that this was the idea of ​​both him and Shulka, and Shulka, as the pioneer of putting the roller as a demining device on the battlefield, can be said to have done more.

So more attention is paid to Shulka than to Kalashnikov.

That night, Sisoi rushed to Moscow from Stalingrad, and the first thing he looked for was Shulka.

"Comrade Shulka!" Sisoi held Shulka's hand and said, "I'm glad to see you again. I didn't expect you to have a new design like this..."

"New design? You mean minesweeper tank?" Shulka said. "Sorry, Comrade Sisoy! That was Comrade Kalashnikov's idea!"

"He told me it was your idea!"

"It's our idea, but he thought of more..."

"I still remember that you modified the tank antenna last time!" Sissoy said: "It turns out that you are right, they can't find our command vehicle anymore!"

After a pause, Hisoi continued: "We think your ideas are very unique. They don't even require complicated technology or industrial capabilities, and they can achieve good results with a simple transformation... So, I don't know. Are you interested in working with us?"

At this time Katukov broke in from the door, and answered Shulka bluntly: "No, I disagree! Comrade Sisoy, we need Shulka, and the front line needs Shulka here!"

"I know!" Hisoy replied: "But Shulka may be able to play a bigger role in the R\u0026D department, and he is just a soldier here..."

"He is not only a soldier!" Katukov said: "He is also a 'breakout hero', even Moscow needs him here!"

...

Sisoi and Katukov argued endlessly, but Shulka, the person involved, was left alone.

"Comrade Sisoy!" Shulka said, "Can I say a few words?"

"certainly!"

"Do you think that if I leave the battlefield..." Shulka said, "that is, sitting in the office, can I still think of things like minesweeping tanks?"

Hearing this, Si Suoyi couldn't help being stunned.
