Chapter 395: Ashore
"We might be able to get the boat ashore!" Shulka said.
"What?" Major General Vladimir looked at Shulka with a puzzled expression.
Shulka did not answer, he turned his gaze to Mehris, who was sitting at his desk drinking brandy while reading the newspaper, and asked: "Comrade Mehris, I want one, is that okay?" ”
"Of course!" Mehris put away the newspaper and asked, "Give me a name!" ”
"Kalashnikov, he is now at the tractor plant in Stalingrad!" Shulka said: "I hope he can come right away, the sooner the better! ”
Mehris bowed his head to Alexei and ordered, "Let him come at once!" ”
After thinking about it, Mehris asked Shulka again: "Will it help to attack the Crimea?" ”
"Yes, it could be of great help!" Shulka replied.
Mehris immediately stopped Alexei, who was in contact: "Contact the plane, immediately!" ”
"Yes, Comrade Mehris!"
With Mekhlis as a "partner", things are much easier, because he can mobilize almost all the resources of the Soviet Union, and even the commander-in-chief of the Navy, Kuznetsov, is afraid of him...... There is a saying that "it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain", and Mehris is obviously the kind of "villain" who cannot afford to offend, not to mention that he also has the status of "representative of the Supreme Command", and de jure he also has the right to command.
Kalashnikov arrived more than an hour later, his face a little pale.
"I didn't expect us to meet so soon, Comrade Kalashnikov!" Shulka greeted Kalashnikov and shook Kalashnikov's hand.
Kalashnikov nodded in shock, then saluted Mekhlis.
Without even raising his eyelids, Mehris responded, "Over to you, Shulka!" ”
Kalashnikov looked at Shulka with his mouth half-open, and then at Mekhlis.
"What's wrong?" Shulka asked.
Kalashnikov shook his head slightly, pulled Shul aside and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean?" ”
"What do I mean?"
"What do you mean by calling me here?"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"You bastard, Shulka!" Kalashnikov angrily punched Shulka: "I almost wanted to jump off the plane and escape, you know? ”
This made Shulka even more confused.
It was later learned that the problem was with Mehris's reputation...... Anyone who is named "hand-picked" by Mekhlis usually ends well, and Alexei called the Stalingrad Tractor Plant in the name of Mekhlis.
The "King of Small Reports" is well deserved, not to mention that it is so urgent, and a special plane and guards were sent to escort Kalashnikov over...... In fact, it was indeed escorted, because Alexei did not explain what happened, and the instructor of the tractor factory immediately asked Kalashnikov to be "controlled".
This instructor must have regarded Kalashnikov as a "class enemy".
So you can imagine how Kalashnikov was tormented on the plane, as he said, he almost wanted to jump off the plane altogether.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Kalashnikov!" Shulka smiled wryly: "I didn't expect this! ”
"Forget it!" Kalashnikov let out a long sigh of relief: "The next time you look for me, you should tell me!" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Mehris on the other side.
"Of course!" Shulka then introduced Major General Vladimir to Kalashnikov.
"Now, can you tell me what you can do?" Major General Vladimir looked at Shulka expectantly.
"Here's what I think!" "We need to carry out a landing operation in Crimea, because the climate is cold, so we don't want to get our boots wet in the shallows......"
Kalashnikov nodded in understanding, and as a Soviet, he certainly knew the consequences of getting his boots wet in such weather.
"But what can we do?" Kalashnikov was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Invent a pair of waterproof boots?" ”
Kalashnikov laughed as he spoke, this obviously did not solve the problem.
"No, Comrade Kalashnikov!" Shulka said: "I hope that our ships will sail ashore and even charge the enemy beachhead!" ”
"Drive ashore?" Kalashnikov looked at Shulka suspiciously: "How can I get the ship ashore?" Put wheels on it? ”
"Why not?" Shulka asked rhetorically.
"What?" Kalashnikov was just joking, he didn't expect Shulka to take it seriously.
"Why don't you put wheels on the ship, like a jeep?" "Then we put another motor on it, so that our ship could rush ashore without blocking the troops in the rear on the one hand, and on the other hand without getting wet on boots and clothes, and even in front of the enemy's lines!" ”
Major General Kalashnikov and Major General Vladimir were stunned when they heard this.
"This, this is whimsical, Captain!" Rear Admiral Vladimir said: "Put the ship on wheels......"
"Why not?" Kalashnikov's eyes widened and he said excitedly: "Great idea, Shulka, it is indeed possible!" ”
"Won't the wheels sink into the shallows?" Major General Vladimir asked.
"As long as the boat is moving fast enough!" Kalashnikov said: "In addition, the beach is frozen because of the low temperature, and it is possible that the one who gets stuck in it is very low!" ”
"Okay!" Major General Vladimir said helplessly: "We have enough time to produce this thing...... Do I mean this kind of ship? ”
"I think so!" Kalashnikov replied: "Because we have low requirements for it, we just need it to be able to advance a hundred to two hundred meters, right?" ”
"Yes!" Shulka nodded in agreement.
At least for this operation, what they wanted was that the charging soldiers would not get their boots and clothes wet, and that it would be enough for them to rush one or two hundred meters to shore.
"So!" "We only need to make simple modifications to the hull, such as welding a few wheels, and then using the motorcycle's motor to drive it through a belt, we don't even need a steering wheel......"
From the needs of this operation, it is true that there is no need for a steering wheel.
"But we need to brake!" Shulka said: "That is, if you want it to stop, you can stop!" ”
"Of course!" "Braking is much simpler than the steering wheel, it doesn't take much time!" Kalashnikov said. ”
Then the two turned their gaze to Major General Vladimir.
Major General Vladimir spread his hands: "If you can get it out, of course I'll have no problem!" ”
