Chapter 390: A Miracle

There are still some things to prepare before going to bed, Lin Jun wrote out the idea of developing a night bomber in general, and just now in the Kremlin he discussed strategic issues, Lin Jun did not mention anything about the technical level. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Tomorrow as soon as the promotion ceremony is over, I will meet with the comrades in charge of aviation technology in the armament department, if Comrade Betryakov (chief designer of the Betryakov Design Bureau, head of the ะ ะต-2 project. There are several different translations of this person's name, but here we use the translation method in the early internal reference of our army. In Moscow, I want to see him. Also, at two o'clock in the afternoon I will see Comrade Yakov. โ€

After following Lin Jun for a long time, Gu Shev knew which people Lin Jun was talking about, and he would not be mistaken, "Yes, Marshal." โ€

"Let's all go and rest, it's midnight."

Lin Jun also left his study, freshened up, and then returned to the bedroom and lay down on the bed.

"Kaya should be asleep too, right?" The large double bed seemed empty, and I couldn't sleep for a while.

In front of the flag, emblem, military flag and statue of Lenin of the Soviet Union, and in the presence of all the members of the Supreme High Command, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet and all the members of the National Defense Committee in Moscow, Lin Jun solemnly received the promotion order and certificate of "Marshal of the Soviet Union".

For the promotion ceremony, Lin Jun removed all the bandages tied to his hands, revealing mottled skin, which fortunately would not be obvious in the black and white photos. Because of his bald head, Lin Jun wears a brand new marshal's hat - and he usually doesn't wear a military hat at promotion ceremonies (which is not surprising, as is often the case). ๏ผ‰ใ€‚

Promotion in wartime, everything is simply dealt with, and there is no need to make much action: if it were peacetime, Stalin would probably prepare a grand parade for his deputy commander-in-chief, where Comrade Marshal of the Soviet Union would stand at Lenin's tomb to receive congratulations from the army and the people.

Noon was a busy banquet, Lin Jun was not poured down like before, and everyone was "up to the point", which would be inappropriate.

Yesterday, Lin Jun already had a general understanding of the overall situation of the war so far, although he had just returned from Minsk, which was a fierce firefight, he was not in a hurry at all: why hurry?! Now the Red Army has been on a front of more than 1,000 kilometers and the German army has entered a practical short period of time, and it took the Germans 18 days in history to rush to the periphery of Leningrad!

The Germans already had problems with the wheels of their tanks, and then God will help the USSR and pass this section, and the good days are not far off.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Jun met with Vladimir Mikhainovich Petryakov, the chief designer of the Pe-2, and explained to the latter the idea of developing a night fighter.

"Comrade Marshal, if it is only a carrier aircraft, I can complete the modification and come up with a prototype in half a month, but there may be some problems with the radar required, as far as I know, we have not yet applied any model on board the aircraft."

The designer is telling the truth, now all models of radar in the Soviet Union are huge, and probably only the Pi-8 can be crammed into one, provided that the radar is dismantled and the bomber is not equipped with any armament.

"The armament department will find a way, and all we need for the time being is a low-power radar that can detect targets within a few kilometers, and we still have to rely on ground guidance in the early stage. The carrier aircraft needs to be designed in advance, and there must be no situation with radar and other carrier aircraft. โ€

"I will try to make as much margin as possible in the design, and the indicators will definitely meet the requirements. In terms of firepower, a combination of four 23mm cannons plus two to four 12.7mm machine guns can be used on the front, or a new, more powerful 30mm cannon can be used. Marshal, I think the back-to-back weapon system you mentioned is feasible, but the new cannon is already in short supply, and the mature "Schwark" can be used, and the quadruple power should be sufficient, and it will not affect the demand for other aircraft. โ€

"It's up to you to make arrangements, and there will be special comrades in the radar armament department to contact you."

The designers were sent away, and the deputy head of the Air Force Committee, Air Force Lieutenant General Yakov Vladimirovich Smushkevich, was ushered in, and now he is in charge of the development, production and equipment of aviation equipment of the All-Red Army.

Lin Jun wanted to know about the latest development of aviation equipment, but Yakov told him: Stalin would call him every day and ask only one thing - what is the number of production of various main combat aircraft today?!

The old man was also concerned about the production of equipment, and Stalin's phone calls would be made to the Ministry of Armament, every week - tanks, trucks, artillery, automatic rifles, and even: "How many grenades can we supply to the front line this month?!" โ€

Lin Jun's design of the wooden-handled grenade is indispensable, and it is estimated that there is no simpler, more convenient to manufacture and use in the world. Although grenades may seem insignificant compared to tank artillery, after the start of the war, the demand for the army was an astonishing astronomical amount, with a daily consumption of more than a million for many days in a row!

In the Minsk defensive battle, individual regiments consumed tens of thousands of them a day, and an average of more than ten a person a day! The soldiers threw grenades as stones for money, and in the urban offensive and defensive battles, they almost used their numbers to repel the German infantry, which was precisely because they could get a steady stream of supplies, that the commanders and fighters on the front line were so "defeated". If it had been replaced with the original Type 30 grenades, the logistics department would not have been able to send so much to the front.

It is said that now the Germans also like the captured Soviet grenades - they can be used without opening the box, and they use them in the same way as their own long-handled grenades, and they also avoid the annoying **** assembly that must be carefully operated. The German soldiers did not understand: it was always said that the **** must be installed before use, otherwise it would be too dangerous, but it seems that they have never heard of how dangerous the grenades of the Soviets are in their hands, unless they are smashed on their heads from the opposite side.

It was the Soviet idea of pragmatism that ensured that the front-line troops could receive a steady supply of materials - but was "pragmatism" short-lived? The Soviet designers and workers' comrades proudly said: "No! โ€

In Minsk, some howitzer regiments have already fired shells with 122-mm howitzer barrels that have more than twice the design life, but according to the artillery comrades, they can still fire the same number of shells with the same accuracy.

This may be considered a "miracle".
