Chapter 55 Equipping the "Investigators"2
"As for the leadership responsibility of other comrades, I personally only need to deal with the administrative aspects, and there is no need to elevate the investigation to the party discipline. The www.biquge.info is now a special period, and the Soviets need us to develop a new type of tank, and if this accident is dealt with in an expanded manner, the development of a new type of tank will inevitably be affected, and this will affect the military construction of the Red Army. Now the leadership of the plant is most familiar with the development of new tanks, and if the leadership changes, I think everyone understands the disadvantages arising from this! ”
Lin Jun's speech relieved everyone who attended the meeting, they were afraid that this "special envoy" comrade would make a big move, if Lin Jun wanted to deal with anyone, he only needed to make a phone call to the Kremlin to solve it, and now he absolutely has the power of "life and death" for the leadership of the Kharkiv Comintern Locomotive Plant. Although the special envoy said that he would deal with the administrative aspects, he also stressed that no personnel adjustments should be made, which was obviously to protect the leading comrades of the factory.
"Comrades, we must not underestimate the importance of the class struggle, and we also need to pay attention to the issue of class struggle in the factory. Lin Jun's words will not let you grasp the "handle", although he is being used by Stalin.
Looking at everyone in the meeting, everyone looked at themselves, and no one thought of interjecting. In fact, no one dared to interject, Lin Jun is now their "protector", if he didn't have an idea, maybe in the middle of the night there would be a member of the "anti-rebellion" committee of the Harko Party Committee or the Red Army Automobile and Armored Vehicle Administration Committee to come to him to "talk", and now Comrade Andrei is "in charge", this accident can be disposed of in the factory, which makes the leaders see Lin Jun as "the Virgin Mary".
"Of course, the above opinions are only my personal opinions, and if I need to make written materials for the accident handling opinions to the higher authorities, I can also write them. The aftermath of the accident was the responsibility of Maksaryov and other comrades at the plant. Speaking of this, Lin Jun paused, "Comrade Maksalyov, then I'll leave it to you." ”
"Yes, Comrade Andrei. I'll give you the final processing report. Maksaryov's address to Lin Jun has changed, becoming "you" instead of "you".
"Your administrative rank is much higher than mine, so it's better to call you "you", you say yes. A comrade in his 50s calls himself "you", which sounds really awkward.
"Hehe, okay, Comrade Andrei."
"Today, because of the accident, so far I have not learned about the situation of the experimental T32 tank (the experimental version of the T34), so I will take this opportunity to let the comrades introduce it."
Comrade "Special Envoy" has already put the topic and focus of work on production, can you not be active?!
"Comrade Andrey, then our newly appointed chief engineer, Comrade Koshkin, will give a briefing on the development of the new tank." It was Mark Salyov who spoke.
"Comrade Andrey, after we received instructions and design goals for testing new tanks, we, the 190 design bureau and the plant, shifted the focus of our work to the design of the new T-32 tank. The most important difference between it and the previous design of the fast tank is that it abandons our traditional wheel-track walking system and adopts a single tracked walking system. There are two reasons for abandoning the wheel-track dual-purpose running gear: one is to simplify the tank design to facilitate large-scale manufacturing in wartime; The second is that the weight saved by the travel system can be used to strengthen the armor protection. These two points are also required in the technical specifications of the new tank. Moreover, the T-32 tank is also equipped with a more powerful 76 mm gun, and the armor is also designed as inclined armor, which can face potential threats. Now that we have built a full-size wooden model, we are working on a prototype. We intend to install the БД-2 experimental diesel engine developed by the Kharkiv Comintern Locomotive Plant on the new tank, and the finalization of the БД-2 will be completed, and it is estimated that the engine will be ready for small-scale production in the next quarter. ”
"Very well, comrades have worked hard. The use of diesel engines and 76-mm guns in the new tank is very good, the reliability of diesel engines is good, and if it is a gasoline engine, it is devastating once it is hit on the battlefield. "Actually, what Koshkin said Lin Jun knows, and it's just an encouragement.
"Comrade Mark Salyov, as far as I know, Comrade Koshkin has only been in office for a few months, is the original chief designer, Comrade Felsov, here now? I have something to ask him.
Why did Lin Jun ask about the situation of the original chief designer, and the reason for this is only known to him, because he wanted to save a talented tank designer. Although the "anti-rebellion" movement has been somewhat downplayed because of its own connections, it is still raging in many places.
Lin Jun's words made Maksarev unable to cope with it at once, because Felsov had already been "purged", and although he had not yet been executed by the Kharkov "Purge" Committee, his life was not long in coming.
"Comrade Andrey, Felsov is now in prison because he designed a bad gearbox last year, which led to a delay in production."
"It turns out that this is the case, and it was a serious mistake to design a bad gearbox, but Felsov still had some talent, and he could still make a contribution to the construction of socialism. Of course, the important work cannot be handed over to him, but he should still have the possibility of saving. Lin Jun is talking carelessly, in fact, many failures of this "bad" gearbox are caused by improper operation, he has studied the development history of T34, so he knows that this Felsov is very "wronged".
"In that case, I will go with you to the Kharkov "Suppression" Committee and take Felsov back to the factory. Let Felsov be Comrade Koshkin's assistant, I think this person can still be used for waste. Now stepping up production is the first priority, I think the meeting will be here first, the time is already very late, comrades should rest early after a busy day, and the official inspection will begin tomorrow. Comrade Maksaryov, we will now go to the "Suppression" Committee. ”
Now Lin Jun has become the de facto head of the Kharkov Comintern Locomotive Plant, and no one cares about refuting his words. "Make full use of your rights" - this is Lin Jun's idea.
Mark Salyov did not dare to disagree at all, the "special envoy" comrade represented the attitude of Stalin and the Central Executive Committee, and if he said "no", he would not put his head in a noose! Besides, at the meeting, Comrade Andrei was obviously helping the comrades in the factory to exonerate himself, and of course he had to bear the burden of his own face.
As soon as the two arrived at the office of the Kharkiv "Suppression of Rebellion" Committee, Lin Jun explained his intention to the officer on duty, and the man hurriedly called to report to his superiors.
No one has ever dared to say good things about those "enemies and saboteurs," let alone vouch for them, and it is even more inconceivable that such a direct source is as unthinkable as a fantasy -- this is what the members of the Kharkov "Suppression" Committee think.
After receiving the phone call, all the committee members rushed to the committee's office, because the person who came to ask for someone was the Kremlin's "special envoy," and although he was only in charge of factory production, he was a "Hero of the Soviet Union" and a popular Kremlin person.
As soon as they walked into the reception room where Lin Jun was, the attention of the committee members was attracted by the young colonel's attire - two orders of Lenin, three orders of the Red Banner, two orders of the Red Star, medals for war wounds, the medal of "Honor" and two Spanish high medals, all of which told others that this was an inviolable and important person.
Although there are some people who have been "purged" so far in the "purge" movement with high medals, none of them are colonels, nor are they so young, let alone have such a strong background as the young Andrei.
Once again, Lin Jun's reason is: Now the Central Executive Committee needs to develop a new weapon as quickly as possible, and the "saboteur" Felsov in your hands still has some use value, so I want to bring him back to the factory to assist in production. Of course, you don't know the specific situation (what is produced) yet, because your comrades do not belong to the production group of this research and development project, and your level of secrecy is not enough, so I'm sorry.
Lin Jun directly hung his name on the Central Executive Committee, and it is estimated that they would not dare to do anything.
Seeing that the committee members did not dare to make a decision, "I can call Comrade Yenov, of course he will never like to be called by someone so late." If this would still embarrass the comrades, I could also call Comrade Stalin directly. Lin Jun used a "naked threat": If the "butcher" was unhappy or the "special envoy" comrade added a few words of vinegar on the phone, then the members and comrades of the "anti-rebellion" committee were very likely to be "purged." Report this to Comrade Stalin ?! The commissioners absolutely did not want that to happen.
"Comrade Andrey, this, of course, does not need to bother Comrade Stalin and Comrade Yenov. It's a good thing that the saboteur can still serve production, and we all think so. Now we're going to the prison to take someone, and you just have to go through the formalities. "The chairman of the chair knows what is a wise decision.
"Of course, the formalities still have to be done, and I hope he will be able to participate in the production tomorrow. Then we'll go to prison now. ”
Lin Junke is an anxious person, and what needs to be done must be done immediately, and these committee members must not be allowed to have the opportunity to "do their tricks."
In fact, Lin Jun also thought about it a lot, borrowing the courage of the three of them, these committee members did not dare to "do tricks", and now they just hoped that the saboteur had not been tortured to death by those guards and interrogators.
This comrade "special envoy" is very fond of this person, but nothing must happen! That's all the committee members can say. He was the one who could talk directly to Stalin and the "butcher" on the phone, and if he was not satisfied, he would be very bad if he went back and made another call!
An ordinary clerk in the Kremlin can make the head of an official in the field fall to the ground, not to mention this Comrade Andrei in front of him.
