"Like you've designed something useful!" Shulka said.

"I did!" Kalashnikov replied.

Kalashnikov was referring to the tank machine gun counter and fuel consumption gauge that he designed.

"No, no, it's not just that!" Shulka said, "There are other things that are important enough to get the attention of their superiors!" ”

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

"And they do!" "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 were not complicated, so that the scientists could easily do it if they designed them, but the problem was that the scientists didn't know that the soldiers fighting on the front line needed this.

"But what could it be?" Kalashnikov asked.

The question stumped Shulka.

He wanted to tell Kalashnikov directly about the development of the AK47, and even if he needed, Shulka could draw him a big look.

The question is......

At this time, the development of AK47 was only afraid that it would not be accepted by the Soviet high-brass, and the rifle that could fire in bursts had to be redesigned...... This would all be considered a waste of sorts.

At least that's what Hitler thought, believing that the rifle was almost equivalent to a submachine gun for every soldier, and that the range was not as far as the enemy's bolt rifles and light machine guns, which was a great challenge to logistical and industrial production and probably not ideal.

As a result, Hitler rejected the production plan for the STG44 rifle, after which the military deceived the Führer with the MP43, that is, the number of the submachine gun.

The Soviet Union, on the other hand, began to develop intermediate bombs when it knew the power of the STG44 on the battlefield, so it had the AK47.

To put it simply, it is now proposed that this kind of advanced consciousness will overturn the entire country's ammunition production line and even eliminate all the design of the bolt rifle, and it is still a tank lieutenant or infantry second lieutenant who proposes this design...... It is more likely that it will be directly vetoed than that of Kalashnikov to the attention of the R&D department.

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

Thinking about it, Shulka said: "It can be anything, Comrade Kalashnikov!" All the things we need, like a minesweeper tank, why don't you improve it? I don't want to have to use a mill to demine the battlefield all the time! ”

"That's right, Comrade Shulka!" Hearing this, Kalashnikov couldn't help but stand up: "Why don't we improve it?" Design a specialized minesweeper tank! ”

"Yes, that's what we need!" "It's best to use it in mud, I mean...... Mill minesweepers are difficult on muddy roads, and soon we will have similar difficulties in fighting in the snow, that's what we need, isn't it? ”

"That's right!" Kalashnikov said: "Why don't we use iron rollers instead of stone rollers? ”

"That's right!" Shulka agreed: "Iron rollers will not be blown up as easily as stone rollers, even if they are crushed with anti-tank mines...... It was also only blown up a hole, and that won't even affect its continued demining! ”

"Yes, it's an iron roller!" Kalashnikov said excitedly: "As long as we control its weight or give it some extra power, it will not become a burden on the tank, but may increase the contact area between the tank and the ground, so that it is less likely to fall into mud or snow......"

"Great idea!" Shulka said: "I almost saw this minesweeper tank advancing on the battlefield towards the enemy's positions!" ”

"No, it's our idea, Comrade Shulka!" Kalashnikov said: "I could not have thought of this without your reminder!" ”

"Don't talk about that!" 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, that's the most important thing!" ”

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

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

If this does not keep the developers from paying attention to Kalashnikov, then they can only be blamed for their lack of eyes.

What Shulka didn't expect was ...... Sure enough, the developers noticed Kalashnikov, but at the same time Shulka.

Because Kalashnikov was very kind to tell them that this was the idea of him and Shulka, and Shulka, as the pioneer of putting the mill into the battlefield as a demining equipment, can be said to have more credit.

So it is Shurka that is more noticeable than Kalashnikov.

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

"Comrade Shulka!" Sisoy shook Shulka's hand and said, "It's nice to see you again, I didn't expect you to have a new design like this......"

"New design? You're talking about minesweeper tanks? Shulka said: "Sorry, Comrade Sisoy! That's what Comrade Kalashnikov thought! ”

"He told me it was your idea!"

"It's our idea, but he's thinking more ......"

"I remember the last time you modified a tank antenna!" Sisoi said: "It turns out that you are right, they will never find our command vehicle again!" ”

After a pause, Sisoy continued: "We think your ideas are unique, they don't even require complex technology or industrial capabilities, they can be very effective with simple modifications...... So, I don't know if you're interested in working with us? ”

At this moment, Katukov burst in through the door and answered Shulka bluntly: "No, I don't agree!" Comrade Sisoy, we need Shulka, the front needs Shulka here! ”

"I know!" Sisoy replied, "But Shulka may have a bigger role in the R&D department, and he's just a soldier here......"

"He's not just a soldier!" Katukov said: "He is still a 'breakout hero', and even Moscow needs him here!" ”

……

Sisoy and Katukov argued, and Shulka was left to the side.

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

"Of course!"

"Do you think that if I leave the battlefield," Shulka said, ...... "that is, sitting in an office, can you still think of such things as minesweeper tanks?" ”

Hearing this, Sisoi couldn't help but be stunned.
