Chapter 148: The Red Hammer - The God of War
Lin Jun, who gave the order to go to Kharkov, withdrew his order half an hour later, because he found that he could not only go to Kharkov this time for inspection: there were still several documents that had to be handled by himself, and Kharkiv could only be the last stop of this inspection.

"This time it will take a detour, first to Gorky, then to Perm and Izhevsk, and finally to Kharkov."
Hearing Lin Junxin's arrangement, Gusev did not show any dissatisfaction, although he had already spent some effort to book a train to Ukraine just now. "Chief, do you need to comrade the local department first?"
The cities that Lin Jun was going to were all important military industrial bases of the Soviet Union, and Gusev knew that some of them were too busy in this circle.
"No, I like to do surprise inspections, and the first stop is Gorky's 92nd Arsenal."
"I'll arrange it right away."
Ten minutes later, Gusev appeared in Lin Jun's office again, "Chief, there is a train to Gorky tonight, do you want to leave tonight or tomorrow." ”
Fekochinov told Gusev that Comrade Andrei likes to act vigorously and resolutely, and it is obvious from today's order that Lin Jun is in a hurry to go to the inspection site. The city of Gorky is also more than 500 kilometers from Moscow, and you can reach it tomorrow morning by night train; If it's tomorrow's train, you won't be able to get to work until the day after tomorrow – that's not Lin Jun's style.
"What time is it?"
"Seven o'clock in the evening."
Lin Jun looked at the time, it was only 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still six hours.
"I'll leave in the evening, and I'll go to Zhukov in an hour to get ready."

Lin Jun is a person, his energy is limited, if he has to manage everything, it is too late to work 24 hours a day, and he doesn't understand most of the equipment at all, in order to avoid his blind command, he consciously did not interfere. However, since he had always been concerned about the research of the Red Army's direct suppression of firepower equipment, all documents of this new type of artillery equipment had to be signed by him before they could be adopted.
The most important and large Soviet artillery manufacturing base was in Leningrad, but the most important research bases were in Gorky, Perm and Izhevsk, east of Moscow - the Gorky Grabin Design Bureau, headed by Vasily Gavrilovich Grabin, and the Experimental Design Office of the 172nd Artillery Arsenal in Perm, headed by Fedor Fedorovich Petrov, were important research and development institutions for Soviet artillery under the tube. During this time, there were test materials of new artillery in both places and sent them to the equipment department, "it is better to look at boring data than to see the real thing" - this is Lin Jun's habit, and these guns are all models that Lin Jun was once familiar with, and they need to be cared about.
Grabin and Petrov were both prominent figures in the history of the study of Soviet artillery, and both were later Heroes of Socialist Labor; The "mass-produced" ZIS-3 76.2 mm cannon in World War II is the research result under the leadership of Grabin, it should be the largest number of equipment produced in the same type of artillery in World War II, accompanied by the Red Army from the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, and finally hit Berlin, and the volunteer soldiers on the Korean battlefield also used it to teach a good lesson in the United ****; The result of Petrov's design office, the M-30 (also known as the 1938) 122-mm howitzer, is definitely the super-main force in the suppressive fire of the Soviet artillery: anti-tank, fire suppression, and attacking, none of which it can't do.
Lin Jun likes the artillery strategy of the Soviet army, and the reputation of the "god of war" of artillery is not deserved: whoever has enough artillery, powerful enough, long enough, and accurate enough in those years and months is the boss! The Soviet Red Army's consistent tactic is to scorch you first, and then let the armored torrent advance in great depth -- the Germans in World War II are the most qualified to express their opinion on the artillery tactics of the Red Army: Compared with the overwhelming shelling of the red giant hammer, the shelling on the Western Front was like a drizzle. In the later stages of the Great Patriotic War, the Red Army often deployed between 200 and 300 barreled guns per kilometer of frontal front in the direction of the assault (note that mortars are not included). It is common for a campaign to concentrate tens of thousands of artillery pieces, and this kind of firepower suppression density is impossible for other countries to do.
What to do if there are snipers in the house during the storming? What about the stubborn resistance of the enemy guards in the building? Simple, as long as you shout on the intercom, the artillery comrades will pull the 152-mm heavy gun directly in front of the target, and directly aim at it and a fierce bombardment can solve the problem, and there is no need for the infantry comrades to risk their lives.
As a staunch supporter of artilleryism, Gorky and Perm had to take care of artillery research themselves, and Izhevsk had another purpose - because it was now one of the most important centers for the research and manufacture of small arms in the Soviet Union, and historically the base for the manufacture of AK47s.
The AK47 drawings drawn by Lin Jun racking his brains should also be turned into real objects, and he wanted to delay a while to pay attention to it, but the wonderful complex of AK47 continued to torment Lin Jun, and he couldn't wait. Lin Jun does not have to worry about this: in order to quickly and well complete the order of the first deputy political commissar of the General Armament Department to try to produce the M38 intermediate power gun cartridge, the comrades of the gun and ammunition design department have already escorted a full set of drawings to Izhevsk as soon as possible, and the designer comrades there are making every effort to try to produce them.
In times of war, don't pistol and go to the front to inspect the troops? That's not Lin Jun's ideal situation - you can rest assured with an AK47 on your back, and it can better reflect the temperament of a soldier!

At nine o'clock in the morning on February 17, a train from Moscow arrived in Gorky. Outside the station, there was heavy snowfall, and four Red Army officers appeared on the platform - something puzzled the station staff, who should have been picked up by car, especially one of them, who was obviously a senior officer, but the station had not been notified of the arrival of an important person.
"Chief, I'll borrow a car." Leonov put down the suitcase in his hand and said.
"Well, don't cause too much trouble to the comrades at the station."
Ma didn't bother to know, but a car appeared in front of several people in less than 10 minutes, but the type of car was a bit unexpected by Lin Jun.
There are no special cars at the Gorky railway station, only a few trucks that pull goods. When Leonov appeared in front of the stationmaster on duty, showed his "Cheka" certificate and explained his intention to borrow the car, the stationmaster on duty reported to the stationmaster with a record-breaking efficiency and explained to Leonov the situation of the station's vehicles.
The conditions at the station Leonov knew that the whole of the USSR was the same, but it was a bit unreasonable to ask Comrade Andrei to go to the arsenal by truck, but fortunately there was another option - there was still an empty gas wagon in the garage of the station, which had been converted to transport parcels.
"Postal Car" made Lin Jun feel very funny, because he thought of the plot in the movie "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth", and he didn't expect that he would have to be a mail returner.
"Very well, comrades, this opportunity to ride the mail truck is not always available."
The "postal car" has a metal carriage, which is more comfortable than a tarpaulin truck on a snowy day. In order to arrive at the 92nd Arsenal as soon as possible, it was the driver of the station who drove the car, and the little comrade driver often proudly mentioned this incident to people many years later: "I was Comrade Andrei's driver back then!" ”
Of course, Comrade Andrei is the only one who can make him so proud, but when someone else asks: "Have you spoken to Comrade Andrei?" ”
"Of course, Comrade Andrei also thanked me for coming!"
Comrade Driver is telling the truth, Lin Jun will express his gratitude to every comrade who has provided convenience for him, but Comrade Driver's "bragging" about how pleasant it is to chat with him is pure fiction, because it was Leonov who sat in the co-pilot's seat, and Lin Jun arrived at the arsenal in an iron-walled cargo box.
You can't be isolated from your own chief at any time - this is the first creed of Lin Jun's staff officers, and the co-pilot seat of the gas pickup truck can only sit one person, Lin Jun has to sit on the empty sack containing the mail.
The mail truck arrived at the arsenal half an hour later and was stopped at the gate.
"Don't report to the top first, the factory comrades will take us to visit the factory first."
Lin Jun wanted to know the current situation in the military-industrial complex from the ordinary workers, not from the reports of the leaders - there was always a difference between what he heard from the workers and what he learned from the officials, and it was the same in the Soviets.
Gusev was the last to walk out of the duty room, "This is not only an order from the head of the armament department, I also ask you here to keep it a secret for the time being, I think comrades can understand this." Also, put our luggage away, I don't want anyone else to see it. ”
The head of the armament department temporarily inspected, and the comrades below might violate the order and want to report to the factory, if so, Lin Jun would not be able to say anything at that time, but now Gusev is issuing a special order in the name of a "Cheka" officer, which can definitely ensure that Lin Jun will not be disturbed by the cadres in the factory.
