Chapter Seventy-Six: Promotion

With the help of Haybeck, the test flight of the 109 went very smoothly, and the designers quickly got to know its external characteristics almost thoroughly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info There is another thing that Lin Jun finds interesting: the Ministry of Internal Affairs gave the Germans the surname "Zhukov", of course, this surname is still relatively common in the Soviet Union.

Lin Jun originally wanted to personally test fly this 109, but all the comrades involved in the research work did not agree, which even alarmed Stalin. The danger of flying an unfamiliar aircraft was very high, and for the safety of his subordinates, Stalin did not agree to Lin Jun's request, but only agreed that he could fly the plane after five test flights by other test pilots.

At this time, Lin Jun could only watch Ilyushchenko, the chief test pilot of the Central Aircraft Design Bureau, "snatch" the "honor" of the first test flight 109 from his hands, no way, now his safety has been put in a very high position.

After two weeks of test flights, the Soviet Union has basically mastered some of the characteristics of the 109B, and Lin Jun also "got his wish" and drove the 109 into the air.

To be honest, the feeling of flying the Bf109 is very good, although the 109, which has been replaced with the logo of the Soviet Air Force, can only fly strictly according to the predetermined route, but the psychological satisfaction is not experienced by others: what is it? Messerschmidt 109!

Although it may be the fighter that has shot down the most enemy planes in history, it still feels that it has a number of flaws: for example, the 109's circling performance is not very good, which is related to its high wing load.

And during this time, the newest I-16-3 also flew to the Zhukov Academy. Lin Jun felt that its performance had improved after the test flight, although it was not as good as the 109, but it could be seen that Polikarpov had put a lot of thought into the improvement of the I-16, and its poor stability, which has always been a headache, had been greatly improved. And the new firepower configuration also increases the intensity of firepower, which is very beneficial for attacking enemy air targets.

A batch of new paper drop fuel tanks was also shipped, and Lin Jun was very satisfied with the 150-liter and 200-liter fighter jet drop tanks. If you had these ovoid guys in Spain, you would have just run to bomb the Seville airport.

One month later, the team of designers was evacuated from the Zhukovsky Academy, the 109 was secretly mothballed, and the "Comrade Zhukov" was sent to the Far East to start his new life.

"They will teach you Russian first, and then you will treat yourself as if you have amnesia and start your new life today." These are the words that Lin Jun gave to "Zhukov".

Where will he go? Probably only Yenov and the person in charge knew that of course, the "butcher" had promised Lin Jun that he would not secretly ask for his life. Lin Jun was very concerned about what he had said: "Comrade Yenov, I used the reputation of a fighter pilot to guarantee the safety of his life to that German, so please take care of it when the time comes." ā€

"Comrade Stalin told me, don't worry, that German will be safe."

No matter how bold Yenov was, he didn't dare to go against Stalin's will, and after listening to Yenov's answer, Lin Jun was relieved. From the beginning of the Great Purge, Lin Jun had no good impression of the NKVD: he was definitely worthy of his title of "butcher".

In fact, Yenov also has an opinion about this Andrei: he knew some of Andrei's previous actions. But he never wanted to take this Andrei how, because Stalin put it there. Yenov knew very well: if he had to deal with Andrei, who always liked to do some "small actions" below, Stalin would definitely destroy himself.

There were many "Yenov", but Andrei had only one - he knew that. Moreover, the two events that happened half a month ago also made Yenov understand again the importance that Stalin attached to this Andrei, and this Andrey is not a "fuel-efficient lamp" and will kill people without blinking!

But neither Yenov nor Lin Jun knew that soon they would experience a head-to-head confrontation, and this confrontation might be a big earthquake!

态态态态态态

More than half a month ago, Lin Jun was busy "campaigning" in addition to paying attention to the research of the college. In fact, he did not need to spend any effort at all, and it was not really "elected" at all, but only to show his face at some meetings: Stalin wanted to appoint him a member of the Military Council of the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR. When Stalin told him the news in early March, Lin Jun was taken aback.

Why push? The lowest military rank of this committee member is the second-class army level, and Lin Jun is just a colonel. Although he had the title of "Special Inspector of the Ordnance Department of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army" during the "inspection" some time ago, it was unofficial, and to put it bluntly, Lin Jun was a colonel with "no real power".

From such a "white body" to a member of the Military Committee of the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR, the speed of promotion is definitely faster and more dangerous than riding on a rocket! I wonder what Stalin thought ?!

It's a pity that Lin Jun's opinion was immediately vetoed by Stalin, and he told Lin Jun: This is not only his decision, but also the proposal of Molotov, Yenov, Kalinin and many other members of the Central Executive Committee, and the marshals of the military also basically agreed: only Marshal Tukhachevsky had some opinions, thinking that Andrei's qualifications were not enough.

"Yenov wants to harm me!" This was Lin Jun's first thought.

"In fact, the achievements of the work you have done have shown that you are capable of this job, and administratively speaking, you only need to be promoted by one level: two years ago, you were already the acting chairman of the Party Committee of the Kovsky Air Force Academy, and under normal circumstances, it is at least a position that can only be held by military-level cadres, and you are doing a good job."

Stalin's words made Lin Jun completely thoughtless: although Arkhipov's post of chairman of the Party Committee of the Kovzhukovsky Air Force Academy had been restored two years ago, his "deputy" had not issued an official document to revoke it, and Lin Jun had long forgotten that his position had not been abolished, and no one had mentioned it. This is unlikely, because the appointment of military personnel in the Soviet Union was subject to very strict regulations, unless: this was a deliberate "foreshadowing" left by Stalin. Few people will care about whether this "running around" Andre still has any positions that have not been removed, and when it is necessary, he can easily move out and block some people's "mouths".

Lin Jun could only "accept his fate": he had to admire Stalin's "strategic vision," and the great man just saw and thought farther than ordinary people -- Lin Jun admired Stalin's "clever calculation" "from the bottom of his heart."

Because Lin Jun's rank was too low for that position, Stalin simply promoted him to division commander in the name of the Soviet Defense Committee.

Lin Jun, who walked out of Stalin's office that day, carried a wooden box containing the uniform of a divisional commander, and felt as if he was sleepwalking - even the uniform had been made, and it was definitely "premeditated."

"Grandpa, your Junjun is already a general." He silently said to his relatives in another time and space. In the future, the division commander will be a major general, and Andrei will go down in history as the youngest general in Soviet history.

态态态态态态

On March 17, 1937, just after nightfall, Lin Jun had not eaten at home when the phone rang. Stalin on the other end of the phone demanded that he rush to the Kremlin immediately.

Lin Jun called the driver, the guards, and his confidential staff officer and rushed to the Kremlin. These "entourage" of Lin Jun were assigned to him just two days ago, because now Lin Jun's identity is different from before: he is not only a division-level commander, but also a member of the Military Committee of the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR, and many high-ranking officers with this rank are also commanders of major military regions.

How can Lin Jun do it now that he doesn't have a few followers.

These "followers" were all personally selected by Stalin for Lin Jun, and all of them were politically reliable and first-class professional officers, all of whom were the elite of Stalin's own "guards" and had received the most rigorous training from the "Cheka". is like the driver who is now driving, Captain Snornick, 27 years old, not only has first-class driving skills, but is also a "fighting expert" and sharpshooter; In addition to his outstanding secrecy skills, the 29-year-old confidential staff officer Major Fikochinov also has a lot of other skills, knows English and German, and is also an expert in espionage, and it is estimated that Lin Jun ordered him to bomb the German Reichstag, and he has a way; Protecting Lin Jun's safety was Lieutenant Landskot, only 25 years old, Cossack. Landscoch is a very "interesting" officer, and this "interesting" is not so much about how lively he is, but about what he usually wears. In addition to the pistol he carried, he also had a cold weapon: more than 10 daggers in the style of flying knives were inserted in a row of leather bags diagonally on his chest, and his Cossack combat knife was always hung on his waist, which made people know at a glance that it was not easy to mess with, as if they were afraid that others would not know that he was a Cossack and the "chief's" guard. Lin Jun and him "sparred" twice, but each time he was very "hit", and it was only at Lin Jun's request that the two reluctantly fought a tie when they switched to sabre sparring.

Cossacks could carry cold weapons with them, although they were not allowed in Moscow, but since they were bodyguards of important people, of course, they could make exceptions. Landeskoch is the guard of the "bright place", and Lin Jun knows that Fekochinov, who is always half a step behind him, is better than Landskocchi.

The three officers that Stalin assigned to Lin Jun were actually for his safety, and Lin Jun did not need to worry that they would become "spies" around him: these people were simply the "prince" guards, and as long as he did not take action to "bring down" Stalin, they were absolutely reliable. If he is in danger, the three of them will block bullets for themselves - Lin Jun can be sure of this.

None of Snornik, Landskoc, and Fekochinov had any relatives, and had been raised by the Soviets to be absolutely loyal to the Soviets - perhaps this was one of the criteria for selecting the "chief" guards. Lin Jun's father told him: There are two kinds of guards in chief, one is to cultivate orphans who have been "brainwashed" since childhood, and the other is a large group of family members.

After learning about the life experiences of the three people, Lin Jun had a taste of "sympathy", so he arranged for them to live in his own home at that time, anyway, there are many rooms at home, and they are treated as family members. Comrade Sanwei's "guard" obviously couldn't adapt to this "family-style" life all of a sudden, and although they didn't say it, Lin Jun could still see that they were very happy to have a "home" feeling.
