Chapter 151: Big Trouble for the Equipment Department

Lin Jun's box has become his makeshift office, processing the documents reported from various places during the inspection a few days ago. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Before the info train arrived in Penza, Lin Jun called Gusev over: "Send a telegram to Plant 183 in Kharkov at the railway station, and ask them to send a train to pick up the station tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Comrade Andrei."

"It seems that Comrade Andrei has a little special care for the Kharkov side." Gusev, who walked out of the box, thought.

Yes, Lin Jun took special care of Koshkin, lest this comrade chief designer, who was a little fragile, have some accidents because of his sudden appearance - it is also appropriate to give this national treasure-level designer a special one.

Lin Jun's special care was exchanged for an extremely grand welcome ceremony, and the heads of the Kharkov Comintern Locomotive Plant and the Design Bureau were waiting on the platform for Lin Jun's arrival, and at the front was the chief designer Mikhail Ilyich Koshkin (this is a very interesting peculiar phenomenon, the position of the chief designer in the Soviet military-industrial enterprises, especially in the armored and aviation enterprises, was higher than that of the factory director. On the side was the party secretary and director of the plant, Marksarev, followed by the deputy chief engineer Alexander Aleksandrovich Morozov and several chief designers in charge, and Felsov, who was almost shot, was now looking at the direction of the train with a long neck.

As soon as he got out of the car, Lin Jun shook hands tightly with Koshkin, who came up: "Comrade Koshkin, hard work!" ”

A few simple words can express Lin Jun's mind better than any words of praise, and the general designer also understands the meaning of these words. Without too much politeness, Koshkin gave Lin Jun's hand to the anticipating Maksarov, "Comrade Andrey, welcome to Kharkov again!" ”

Comrade factory director was obviously a little excited, "I received a telegram from you early yesterday morning, and many of our comrades were so excited that they couldn't sleep. ”

"I said Comrade Factory Director, I'm not a peerless beauty, I won't have such a great lethality, right?! Ha ha! Also, to engage in such a big battle, beware of someone saying that Andre's faction is too big. ”

Everyone is an old acquaintance, of course, they should speak more enthusiastically, and the comrades in Kharkov also know Lin Jun's character, and they can hear that this is a standard "Andrean joke".

"You don't know what we're thinking, hehe."

Of course, Lin Jun understands that he is the super lucky star and protector of Factory 183, and with him in Factory 183, he will not be at a disadvantage in the competition with other factories and design bureaus, otherwise the production of T34 will not be so smooth, and of course it is necessary to talk about pomp and circumstance to welcome such an important person.

The bald Morozov wore a hat and looked thinner than Koshkin, Lin Jun did not have much contact with him during the last inspection, but Lin Jun knew very well that Koshkin's best friend and student was a powerful person, and the historical T54 and the epoch-making T64 tank were his handiwork.

After shaking hands with several chief designers in charge, Lin Jun came to Felsov, and then Koshkin on the side said: "Comrade Andrey, the gearbox used on the T34 now is Felsov's design, which is reliable and easy to operate. “

The words of the chief designer are the best affirmation, and Felsov is more excited today than anyone else, and the person in front of him is not only his savior, but also gives him the reputation of a Bolshevik.

"Comrade Felsov, it seems that you have fulfilled the task assigned to you by the Soviets very well."

"Yes, Comrade Andrei." Felsov didn't sleep all night last night, thinking a lot about what he was going to say when he met Comrade Andrei, but now he couldn't say anything, and replied in the most idiotic way.

"Comrade Mark Salyov, has Comrade Felsov's political identity been restored?"

"Not yet, you know the intricacies."

Felsov's party membership was expelled after his arrest, and he is still a mass (it was not easy to join the party in the Soviet Union at that time, especially those who were engaged in scientific research, like Fedor Fedorovich Petrov, the director of the experimental design office of the 172nd Artillery Arsenal and the famous Soviet artillery designer Fedor Fedorovich Petrov, whom Lin Jun met in Perm a few days ago, has been working for more than 10 years, but he is not yet a party member. It is so difficult to join the party, and it is even more difficult for those who have been expelled from the party to restore their party membership. )。

"Comrade Mark Salyov, I think that Comrade Felsov has corrected his original mistakes and proved his loyalty to the Soviets with active work and fruitful results, making up for the losses caused by the original mistakes. In my capacity as First Deputy Political Commissar of the General Armament Department, I ordered that Comrade Felsov be immediately reinstated from the party. ”

What Felsov's work and political attitude were, Lin Jun didn't need to know, his presence on the platform meant everything, at least the comrades in the factory had already affirmed Felsov's work.

The restoration of party membership needs to be decided by the party committee, and it is reasonable that it cannot be used in the form of commands, but there are special circumstances, such as joining the party in the line of fire -- the roar of the official: Whoever takes the mountain will let him join the party in the line of fire!

Lin Jun's current position happens to be in charge of all the military-industrial enterprises of the Red Army related to equipment: he can manage production, and his title can manage all political issues.

The first deputy political commissar had already issued an order, and the Party Committee of the Comintern Locomotive Factory went back to follow the follow-up procedures, and there was no need to discuss.

A long car drove out of the station platform (this is not surprising, the cars of the military factory can generally drive directly into the platform, everyone is the same, Lin Jun went to the uncle in his previous life and enjoyed such treatment many times. Not to mention picking up important people. Cherikoshkin sat next to Lin Jun, while Maksalyov sat in the passenger seat.

Along the way, the two kept introducing Lin Jun to the current production situation of the factory. "Mark Salev. How much does T34 produce per month now? ”

"It's still just getting started, not counting the previous prototypes, where we produced 85 units in January and 150 rolled off the assembly line last month."

"How much production potential is there left? The production is still too small. Lin Jun was not satisfied with such a production speed.

"At present, there is only one production line, and we are organizing manpower to build a second production line."

"We're going to get other factories to join the production of the T34, Koshkin, you have a backup of all the necessary materials for production, and by the middle of the year at the latest, we will have the Stalingrad Tractor Plant also produce the T34, and then you or Morozov will need to go to Stalingrad for some support."

This is a plan that the General Armament Department has drawn up some time ago, but it has not yet been implemented.

"Rest assured, we're ready."

"Comrade Andrey, now we have a big problem, that is, all military regions have sent telegrams hoping that their tank units will be replaced with new tanks, but the National Defense Committee has not yet given any instructions in this regard." Comrade factory director looks like a bitter melon.

"It's the same with us, it only shows that our new tanks are so good that everyone wants to be the first to equip them, and even Comrade Voroshinov complained to me about this. Wait a few more days and there will soon be clear instructions. ”

In fact, Lin Jun has long had his own ideas about which troops will be equipped with new tanks first: the Leningrad Military District, the Western Special Military District, the Belarusian Military District and the Kiev Special Military District are the first ones, and these military districts will be the first to need T34, but the pressure from other quarters should not be underestimated. It stands to reason that this hot potato should be decided by Voroshinov and Budyonny, but Stalin seems to have his own ideas and has also consulted Lin Jun's opinion, but there is no clear order so far, and things are just like that.

The heads of the military council knew which military districts needed new tanks first, but Stalin didn't speak, and the commanders of the military districts were fighting to the death, all of them were in a posture of playing with you if you didn't give me Lao Tzu, and as a result, Budyonny still went to ride his horse, and this old guy was cunning - he also wanted the first batch of T34s in the Moscow Military District, but as a veteran of the cavalry victory theory, he was not as eager for new tanks as other commanders, Moreover, it is easy to lose the handle of fighting in the capacity of marshal and deputy People's Commissar of National Defense. Good equipment is the first to protect the capital, and Budyonny, who is also the commander of the Moscow Military District, is well aware of this convention, so he simply hides and pretends to be generous.

Voroshinov did not come to the meeting, and Stalin had not yet expressed his position anyway, so that he was happy to be idle, so as not to make Stalin think that he was favoring or favoring a certain military district in the west.

This is how a strange phenomenon has emerged, new equipment is being produced in a steady stream, but the troops just can't accept it, the armament department and factories are drowned out by telegrams sent by various military districts, but no one can move without a word, and the National Defense Committee is waiting for Stalin's meaning.

"Damn peacetime, that's how Nini crooked!" Lin Jun was annoyed when he thought of this, but fortunately, Stalin had already given him some news, and a decision would come out this month.

"I said Comrade Mark Salyov, where are we going?"

Lin Jun felt that there was something wrong with this driving route, and it was not the route to the factory when he came last time.

"Hehe, Comrade Andrey, we have prepared a big gift for you, and you will understand later."

After the convoy drove for half an hour, Lin Jun realized that the general direction was still right, but it was heading to the tank test site near the factory.

Lin Jun's attention when he arrived at the test site was completely attracted by the scene in front of him, a row of brand-new T34s lined up in front of him, and the huge square composed of more than two hundred tanks exuded an incomparably oppressive atmosphere!

"Comrade Andrey, this is our T34!" (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the WWW.QIDIAN.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
