On the night of May 1, 1938, the command of the Third Reich Air Force in Berlin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hermann Goering, the burly commander-in-chief of the Imperial Air Force, received a top-secret telegram from the embassy in Moscow and was carefully analyzing the contents of the telegram in his hand.

The appearance of the latest fighter jets of Soviet Russia at today's military parade in Moscow immediately aroused the great attention of diplomats in the Soviet Union, and the "curious" military attachés and journalists of various countries were soon presented with an official document with the same contents. Within three hours, similar briefings had appeared on the desks of policymakers in the major powers.

"The Russians are very fast." Göring didn't care, the Russians had seen the power of the Mercedes 109 in Spain a year and a half ago, and it would be strange if they hadn't reacted yet, but the most important thing at the moment was to get the performance parameters of the new Russian aircraft, but it was basically impossible to find out such secrets from the Russians, who had always been cautious and secretive, unless they sent the new fighters to Spain to fight their vultures - this was what Göring was troubled about.

Goering's troubles played out in different offices in Paris, London, Italy, Tokyo and Washington at the same time: Soviet Russia would put its new weapons on display, but that was all. Aside from that cookie-cutter official announcement, it's impossible to know anything more.

At this time, the Morana-Sonier MS.406 and Devatina D.520 fighters in France had entered the final stage of development before being finalized, the British "Spitfire" and "Hurricane" had already been equipped with troops, and the Italian MC.200 was also in the final stage of attacking, and the reaction caused by the new fighters over Red Square was not enough to make them hysterical. In contrast to Goering's "limited vigilance," Japan and the United States, because their own development of new fighter planes is still in its infancy, are more concerned about Moscow's actions and strictly order their diplomats stationed in Moscow to obtain more information at all costs.

If the leaders of the capitalist countries knew the true performance of the Lager 3, then they would not want to sleep well during this time, but they would not want to know anything about it unless they fought against the Soviet Aerospace Forces.

In order to keep secrets, dozens of cars went in batches, and Lin Jun also joked with Alexander about this: "I didn't expect that in Moscow we all became ground rats." ”

It's because it's in Moscow, and it's May Day, otherwise there's no need to be so mysterious.

As in previous days, anyone who shoots an AK47 with their own hands will love it, and regardless of the branch of service of those senior officers, "excellent individual weapon" is the only evaluation. It was such a small demonstration that the target for trial production in Izhevsk was turned into a formal mass production order: 50,000 basic and 20,000 folding carriers were required to be supplied to the troops by November this year, at the cost of reducing the production of the same number of Mosin-Nagan rifles and some of the additional raw materials.

What is surprising is that Stalin even asked Tula's military factory to get a batch of prototype grenades, and the handleless and handled, all of which were designed by Lin Jun. Of course, the leaders did not have to experience the throwing of grenades themselves, but they still let the technicians explain in detail the various advantages of the new grenades, and a group of people hid in bunkers to watch the bomb throwing demonstration.

The results speak for themselves, and like assault rifles, a trial batch was made available for the troops to try. Some people also had reservations about the safety and reliability of the wooden-handled grenades, but after Lin Jun personally ran to the bomb throwing trench and threw a few, they all consciously kept their mouths shut.

The production of two RGD-33 man-hours and raw materials can produce five new wooden-handled grenades, and the man-hours and raw material consumption of handleless grenades are also less than RGD-33, and the lethality is not inferior at all, and it can also partially use existing equipment. What needs to be done now is only to provide it to the troops for trial, and if the actual use of the troops is suitable, what remains is the slow transformation of the entire grenade military-industrial system, so that there will be no production chaos.

"Andrey, I think it's appropriate for you to award you the rank of military-level engineer." Alexander made a joke about Lin Jun.

"You're not unworthy of your name, call me?!"

Alexander's military rank was still that of the Red Army, and it was reasonable that his rank should be that of a political worker, and this was all a "problem left over from history" -- a "commander" was in charge of a group of "political commissars."

Unfortunately, Stalin overheard the conversation between the two: "Alexander, I will soon find you about your rank, and all the comrades feel that it is more suitable for you to become a political worker in the army. ”

Alexander had long been accustomed to the current uniform, and when he heard Stalin's words, he knew that it could not be saved.

"A military-level political commissar is more suitable for your current status."

"Thank you comrades for your trust." Alexander was a little helpless.

According to his current position, it would not be too much to give him the title of "General Political Commissar of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army", which is the same as that of the marshal, and besides, this title has been vacant at present, but Alexander's qualifications are not enough, and it is somewhat inappropriate to even raise a few ranks.

The commendation of Comrade Andrei by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet was also changed by today's events, and after the group returned to the Kremlin, Kalinin awarded Lin Jun the fourth medal of "Lenin" for his contribution to the production of Soviet armaments. It turned out that Stalin also wanted to promote Lin Jun's military rank, but Lin Jun politely refused because he was still too young.

"Comrade Kalinin, I just got a design drawing and idea for those equipment, and the specific operation is the credit of the factory comrades."

If you get a benefit, you can't forget about the people who really work, it makes no difference whether you have one more medal or one less, everyone knows that you are the first professional of the Soviet Medal. However, for those comrades who work in a down-to-earth manner at the grassroots level, commendations and medals are not at all what they feel when they confer the medals: they may change a person's destiny, and they are also the most important affirmation of the labor achievements of the grassroots workers, and they must not monopolize all the credit alone.

"We will conduct a detailed investigation, and those who have made meritorious contributions will receive the rewards they deserve."

Kalinin had already prepared the Order of the Red Banner - a commendation from the director of the parade slogan. Now that it's all taken out, there's no reason to put it back, and the content of the award is completely different.

In this way, Lin Jun wore the fourth "Red Flag Medal" on his chest. Lin Jun remembered that the most "Lenin Medals" in history should be Voroshinov and Budyonny (except for the famous Bo Shi), each with eight, and among the people who won the most Red Banner Medals, there should also be the famous "Three Marshals of the First Cavalry Army" (the First Cavalry Army was the Soviet cavalry campaign group during the Russian Civil War and foreign armed intervention in 1918-1920, and the other of the three marshals was Timoshenko, who was not yet a marshal). ), 6 each. And according to the current situation, Lin Jun really can't estimate how many "Lenin" and "Red Banner" medals he will get.

Lin Jun found Ornov, he had been deliberately avoiding the construction of the Red Navy before, but now that the aircraft carrier was about to be completed, he had to care about the development of carrier-based aircraft.

"Yakovlev has already given a design based on a new land-based fighter, and Andrei Nikolayevich Tupolev has designed a carrier-based dive bomber and a carrier-based fish aircraft in cooperation with Comrade Nikolai Nikolayevich Polikarpov, which are expected to be ready for test flights soon."

"I haven't met Comrade Polikarpov for some time, is he still in the Central Design Institute?"

Since the veteran fighter designer "Torrent Brave Retirement", Lin Jun has not seen him.

"Now I am supporting Comrade Tupolev, and it is estimated that I will return to the Central Design Bureau after a while. I met him a few days ago, and he and his design group are currently working on a new long-range heavy bomber. ”

The "king of fighters" switched to the design of heavy bombers, as the designer himself said last year, a big change of direction, "I will go and see after a while, the Soviets need heavy bombers." Lin Jun thought.

The threat of the Soviet Union in recent years has basically come from the land, and history tells Lin Jun that the war will be the kind of hand-to-hand combat, which is reflected in the aviation equipment is the first close support. Germany also had the same problem, Hitler was the first dive bomber, but he would regret it when the mainland was bombed in a mess later, but his planes on the Eastern Front still basically worked, at least on the battlefield.

The strategic depth of the Soviet Union was so great that the German planes could not deal with the targets of the Ural industry, while the first priority of the Red Army's aviation was to support the campaign operations - although the importance of strategic bombers was known in history, they were not the most urgently needed equipment of the Soviets.

But now it's different, Lin Jun is not limited to the immediate threat, if the designers can solve a number of technical bottlenecks that limit the development of Soviet strategic bombers, an appropriate amount of construction of a bomber force with strategic strike capability is should. But the difficulties encountered in making such a big guy are not the troubles that ordinary people can imagine, and Lin Jun does not expect to solve these problems in the short term.

"When will I have time to look at aircraft carriers and new battleships, now the scale is already spectacular."

"I must go, but I have to accompany you at that time, otherwise I may not even be able to enter the factory."

"Just kidding! Is there any place where Comrade Andrei can't go, haha. ”

Now that the commanders of the Red Navy have already sent out invitations, Lin Jun has nothing to avoid. (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.) )
