Chapter 159: Super Salesman

"Well done, Comrade Andrey, we want to propose to award you another medal!" At the celebration banquet after the military parade and mass parade, Lin Jun heard someone shouting to himself. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was not Stalin, who was addicted to awarding medals to love generals, who spoke, but Budyonny, who was in the limelight today, and Kalinin even echoed him. Budyonny has reviewed many military parades, but it is not as refreshing as it is today! Although no one wished him good health, that kind of momentum made Comrade Marshal's blood boil when he thought about it now.

"I have just consulted with the other members of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, and after that time I will award you another Order of the Red Banner. The effect of your proposal is even greater than the result of commanding troops to win a battle, and in the future the military parades of the Soviets will have such loud and imposing slogans as they are today! ”

"Comrade Kalinin, everything is in the service of the USSR!" For this old man, Lin Jun has always respected him.

"Comrades, there are some things you may not know, our first deputy political commissar of the armament department has only been in office for a few months, but the work done and the achievements made in the past few months are impossible for comrades to think of, and I did not expect it!"

Stalin interrupted the conversation of a group of high-ranking officers, and the audience immediately fell silent. Now that the ballroom was occupied by the core of the Soviet power, Stalin decided to take advantage of the fact that everyone had not yet drunk to introduce Andrei's achievements: "Comrades, you all know the contribution of Comrade Andrei to the armament of aviation and armored forces, because the new fighters and tanks we have are the product of the design indicators that he proposed a few years ago, and the facts have shown that the proposal at that time was completely correct. ”

Stalin pulled Lin Jun to his side: "Judging by the results achieved by the appearance of today's new fighters, those capitalist countries have been intimidated by our aviation forces. Everyone here knows that our original fighter is no longer the most advanced in the world, but the aircraft on display today puts us at the forefront of the world's aviation powers! This is inseparable from Comrade Andrei's high foresight. ”

The bearded Budyonny was the first to nod there, and Comrade Marshal was in a very good mood.

"Actually, there is more than that, there are things that the comrades do not know yet: Andrei not only makes suggestions, but is himself an incredible designer of equipment! What I'm going to say below is a first-class secret, and what I hear and see is limited to this banquet hall. ”

As soon as Stalin's words were heard, several officials and officers who did not have a sufficient level of secrecy took the initiative to walk out of the banquet hall.

"All stay, all are trustworthy comrades." Stalin said.

"Comrade Andrei personally designed a variety of weapons and equipment, which will benefit not only the aviation forces, but also our brave and skilled cavalry units, heroic artillery, invincible armored troops, the fearless Red Navy and all other branches of the Red Army."

As soon as they heard Stalin's words, a strange thought flashed through their minds: "Isn't it too exaggerated?" ”

"Some people will think that what I said is exaggerating, but after a while you will understand that what I said is not exaggerating the truth at all." Stalin, of course, knew that these people would think something.

"Now Comrade Gorky has just successfully trial-produced a new type of artillery shell, which is designed to destroy local tanks and various solid targets. Although only 45 mm one-caliber shells have been successfully trial-produced, its armor-piercing ability for high-quality steel armor at any firing distance exceeds 120 mm! ”

For many years no one dared to make any other voice when Stalin spoke, and there were all tried and tested comrades, but now there were several people in the room with a look of surprise - they were all high-ranking officers who were familiar with armaments, and such armor-piercing skills were simply impossible in conventional understanding!

"There is no need to be surprised, Comrade Gorky has already done it, and the design concept and precise design drawings of this artillery shell were completely designed by Comrade Andrei alone, and our artillery shell design experts only did part of the research in engineering materials and live ammunition design in accordance with Andrei's design drawings. Now the 76.2 mm anti-tank gun is equipped with shells that are also in the process of live trial production, and if successful, there will not be any kind of potential adversary's tank that will be our opponent in the next ten years! ”

"I can tell you that the penetration rate of such shells into the armor of tanks is generally more than three times that of caliber! And because it is an armor-piercing projectile, the armor-piercing ability is completely not limited by the range. ”

At this time, the commander of the Red Navy on the opposite side, Vladimir Mitrofanovich Ornov, was overjoyed - if the naval guns of the Red Navy were equipped with such large-caliber shells, then any heavily armored enemy warship would be a vulnerable scrap iron ship.

Lin Jun did not expect that Stalin would bring up his "inventions" on this occasion, and when Stalin introduced the shaped energy armor-piercing bullet, he thought that it might cause misunderstanding among some officers, and now when he looks at Ornov's expression, he knows that Comrade Commander of the Red Navy misunderstood Stalin's meaning.

"This kind of shell has a disadvantage, although its armor-piercing ability is amazing, but it is not the kind of armor-piercing bullet we are familiar with, it will only cause a small diameter of the piercing on the surface of the armor, of course, the internal members of the tank that were hit are either full of holes or completely lose their combat effectiveness, but it is not suitable for destroying large targets such as warships, nor is it suitable for replacing high-explosive shells against large buildings, comrades who want to know more about the performance of this type of ammunition can come and ask me."

Lin Jun had to correct everyone's misunderstanding of the armor-piercing bullet. Although some comrades feel that it is a pity, there is no omnipotence in weapons, and it is already good to specialize in becoming a tank killer.

"Andrei is right, although the range of use is limited, the anti-tank artillery and armored units equipped with it will have an absolute advantage when encountering the enemy's armored forces, because we can easily penetrate their armor."

At this time, Snornik took up a rectangular wooden box at Stalin's signal, "Comrade Budyonny, as our first red cavalry, you have the most say in our brave and warlike cavalry units. ”

Budyonny unconsciously stood upright: "Yes, Comrade Stalin. And Comrade Voroshinov, who was also the best cavalryman. ”

Budyonny gave face to Voroshinov, who was born in the cavalry, and the marshal comrades over there were full of smiles.

"What was the most trusted partner of our valiant cavalry fighters of the Red Army?"

"War horses and swords! Comrade Stalin. ”

"Comrade Budyonny, from now on our valiant cavalry fighters of the Red Army will have a third trustworthy partner." Stalin motioned to the captain of his own guard to open the box: "That's it, the AK47 assault rifle designed by Comrade Andrei." ”

Lin Jun was completely impressed by Stalin's wisdom, and in such an occasion and atmosphere to build momentum for AK47, as long as Budyonny and Voroshinov supported it, the large-scale installation of AK47 was a matter of course.

Stalin took out the box with a folded holder, and its formidable shape immediately attracted everyone's attention. Stalin skillfully opened the butt of the rifle and handed it to Budyonny.

The bearded marshal is definitely an expert among cavalry combat experts, and it can be seen at a glance that this should be a brand new gun, not to mention the formidable appearance, and the most important thing is that if the cavalry marches and fights with it behind its back, it will not hinder the operation at all! -- This is very important for the cavalry, and the reason why the cavalry has not been strong is because the big guys carry the same thing, and even the DP machine gun is limited in many ways when firing on horses.

At this time, the captain of the guard took the one from Muto, and Stalin handed it to Voroshinov.

"The newly designed ammunition used can fire single shots or fully automatic fire, with a magazine capacity of 30 rounds. Spot firing is suitable for firing at individual targets within 300 meters, a single shot can solve targets within 400 meters, concentrated firepower can hit group targets within a distance of 800 meters, and the warhead has lethality at a distance of 1,500 meters. Not only suitable for general infantry units, the folding tray model is suitable for any environment, and tank troops, airborne troops, ships and cavalry units with limited space can also be very convenient to use. The manufacturing process is simple, powerful, reliable and easy to operate, and the cavalry comrades do not have to worry about the problem of using recoil immediately. ”

Stalin vigorously "promoted" Lin Jun's design, and also "tossed" Shi Leming out, "After the dinner, interested comrades can go to the shooting range together and try it for themselves." ”

The Chief of the General Staff of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, Boris Mikhainovich Shaposhnikov, who had not spoken, "borrowed" the gun in Budyonny's hand and carefully observed it for a while: "It is a good gun just from the appearance, and I will test the gun later." ”

The Chief of the General Staff has not touched a gun for many years due to physical reasons, which shows that no one can resist the magic of the AK47 - for the two AK47s, civilian cadres like Comrade Kalinin behaved better, and the high-ranking officers behaved much more gracefully than a group of hungry wolves who saw a fat sheep!

There is Comrade Stalin as a guest "salesman", but there is no equipment that cannot be "sold", and the only thing left is not to rush to grab it.

Since it has been verified by the Military Academy of the General Staff, it means that it has undergone rigorous research -- unlike Voroshinov, the People's Commissar of National Defense, a high-ranking officer with a unit in his hands has to consider all aspects, and the most important thing is to equip the troops with the best and most advanced equipment.

At the outskirts of the crowd was Shi Lemin (he was not of high rank, but his position determined that he was eligible to attend this banquet. I know bitterly: "Hurry up and make up a set of explanations, and it will be a question from the comrades who are bombarded indiscriminately!" ”

Seeing the reaction of the officers, Stalin knew that today's purpose had been accomplished, and it worked very well.

He interrupted the discussion: "Comrade Andrei's design is not only this, but also a new type of grenade, which is not inferior to the current model in terms of power and various other properties, and the production cost is only about half of the existing grenade, and the man-hours are generally shortened. There are several other weapons of important design, the most important is a single anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade, the total combat weight does not exceed 10 kg, which can accurately destroy heavy tanks at a distance of 150 meters, and if high-explosive ammunition can destroy a living target at a distance of 400 meters, it can equip our front-line infantry in a maximum of three months. ”

"Andrey, how long is that?" Budyonny asked quietly.

"You can carry it on your shoulders and march on horseback, or you can hang it in a cloth bag and hang it in the saddle. The length of the carrying state is less than 70 cm, and the weight is less than 6 kilograms, that is, the length of the combat state is only about one meter, and the weight is up to 10 kilograms. According to my design, it is estimated that the ammunition equipped with the principle of the new armor-piercing warhead mentioned by Comrade Stalin just now should be able to penetrate more than 200 mm of vertical steel armor, and if it is against a pillbox, it is estimated that it will be no problem to drill a hole in the reinforced concrete with a thickness of 600 mm. Lin Jun has narrowed down the data a bit.

"When the time comes, you have to notify me first."

"No problem, Comrade Marshal."

An anti-tank weapon that the cavalry could easily carry was something Budyonny had only dreamed of, let alone such a high-performance playstyle.

"But Comrade Marshal, although the recoil is not very strong when the game is fired, the sound is so loud and scary that it will frighten the war horse, and it is not good to shoot on the horse."

"Hehe, it can be easily carried and can be used at critical moments, and I don't expect to have a cannon that shoots on a horse." The marshal is also a man who understands.

When the RPG is finalized, the first person who comes to the equipment department to grab the equipment is probably a bearded man - it is better for someone to grab it than for no one to ask for or even oppose it, although Lin Jun wants to equip it first is the infantry unit.

In fact, there are five people here who know that Andrei's proposal for equipment is much more than that, but it must not be said - more and more Soviet physicists are gathering in distant Novosibirsk because of a top secret within a top secret.

"Comrade Kalinin, you still have to propose the award of Comrade Andrei at a later time, at least after the banquet."

If there was one of the Soviets' least known secrets after the May Day parade in 1938, it was that sales of alcohol prepared in the Kremlin's kitchens on that day hit an all-time low.
