Stalin was very satisfied with the performance of his two sons, but Lin Jun could also see that the old man was worried about his sons, "As a parent, in this regard, he is a commander and an ordinary person!" ”

Of course, you can't say it clearly, otherwise Stalin would not have cared about the situation of his sons only when he summoned him: now Stalin is a symbol of iron will, and any tenderness needs to be abandoned!

"How's Kaya?" Stalin asked Lin Jun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Very well, Comrade Stalin."

Regarding his wife's situation, Lin Jun didn't want to say more, although part of his heart was put in Minsk.

"She doesn't want to die at work, you have to let the people below care about it, don't get tired. Also, the People's Health Headquarters directly reported to me that Kaya had done a maximum of 21 major surgeries a day, and you told her that the war would go on for a long time, and she had to pay attention to her body. ”

"Yes, Comrade Stalin." It seems that Stalin crossed himself to give instructions to the following, and paid more attention to this "daughter-in-law" than his two sons: in fact, Stalin also considered for love - if Lin Jun cared too much about his wife, it might not be appropriate, and the old man directly ordered the co-ordination.

"When things settle down, I'll summon Kaya back."

Seeing Lin Jun's inquiring eyes, Stalin smiled rarely: "You don't know how high Kaya's prestige and contribution in Minsk is now, she is already the embodiment of the angel in white in the hearts of the wounded of the Western Front, Comrade Kalinin proposed to award her the title of Hero of the Soviet Union when he coordinated his work with me today." ”

Lin Jun's mind paused, he knew that Kalinin and his wife also had a very good relationship, and sometimes he invited his wife to see him when he was unwell, but he didn't expect to make such a suggestion.

"It is not surprising that Kaya, judging by her contribution in Minsk, is definitely already eligible for the title of Hero of the Soviet Union." Seeing the expression of the general, Stalin said very seriously, "Superb technology and great contribution!" ”

Lin Jun nodded, thinking in his mind: "It seems that there are few medical workers who have won that kind of honor." ”

It's very little, if it weren't for the breakthrough in penicillin research, even the entire range of medicine would probably be nothing!

"Andrey, I read the report, our new weapons often play an unexpected role in combat, and that is what you designed. But I don't think such a technological advantage will last long, and the Germans will soon figure out how to deal with it. ”

This is also what Lin Jun is worried about: there have been many cases on the front line that have reversed the tide of the battle due to the superiority of the Red Army's equipment, or even one-sided. For example, in the forest area of Ukraine's eastern border, a border company equipped with bazookas and AK47s actually destroyed a German mechanized battalion, which was Germany's most elite SS unit equipped with tanks and armored vehicles.

"The technical requirements for rocket launchers and assault rifles are not high, and I estimate that in less than half a year, the German army will be equipped with similar weapons. Our T34 and heavy tanks hit the Germans even more, and it is estimated that the German armament department will figure out ways to deal with it, and it will not be long before their new tanks will appear. ”

The speed at which Germany developed new weapons in World War II was astonishingly fast, and once the adversary's advanced equipment was captured by the Germans, it would not take long for them to copy it or develop better equipment to deal with it. Of course, it is impossible for AK47s and bazookas to make better ones: they are already perfect, but tanks are not so good.

The T34 has already given the Germans enough shock, maybe the "Haw Par" will also appear early, plus the possible imitation assault rifles and rocket launchers, the cruelty of "this World War II" will be "more than ever"!

"What's your way of coping?"

"To win the war with quantity, of course, we must also ensure a certain quality. As for the tank, the design team of Comrade Mikhail Ilyich Koshkin is already trial-producing the new T34 medium tank equipped with a high-power 85-mm anti-tank gun, which will be ready for mass production in a maximum of 3 months. The T34-76 type will be gradually replaced by the existing production line. The design team of Comrade Joseph Yakovlevich Kokin is developing a new type of heavy tank, armed with a 105-mm high-power anti-tank gun, which began to be developed only the year before. ”

It can be said that the armored flood of the Red Army largely influenced the situation of the Great Patriotic War, but Lin Jun has always been very dissatisfied with the Д-25Т25 type 122 mm guns equipped with ИС-1943 heavy tanks in his memory, which are simply self-propelled guns! The fact is that the 25-mm gun of the Д-1943Т122 type was originally a howitzer, only with decent anti-tank capabilities.

But the Д-25Т is really a representative of "stupid, big and black", and the Red Army has no way to choose it - first, Stalin's strict orders, and second, there is no way to get a suitable tank gun to equip the new heavy tank, there is no way!

The huge number of "Stalin" series of heavy tanks in the early Cold War once frightened the entire Western world, but many of their technical parameters were not very good. The year before last, Lin Jun thought that it was necessary to change that situation -- since the Soviet Union had taken the lead in the world in using large-caliber tank guns, and the upper echelons, troops, and research institutions had also fallen in love with the big guys, he simply handed over the general technical parameters and design ideas of the classic British L7 105 mm tank gun in the Western world more than 20 years later to the artillery design department!

The L7 rifled tank gun, the first to adopt self-tightening tube technology, is the first standard tank gun in the Cold War NATO countries, with the most tank models and the most extensive equipment countries, that is, the vitality is still very strong in the 21st century! Of course, Lin Jun didn't ask the Soviet designers to come up with a "technical ******", which would have made it impossible to create the L7 series, just try to get as close as possible.

Since the beginning of the previous year, a team of designers began a painstaking technical battle, and after many failures, they finally produced a 105 mm tank gun with acceptable comprehensive performance such as production requirements, power, and service life, which was finalized as a 105 mm tank gun of the 1940 type. In this way, the 1940 105 mm tank gun became the first type of artillery designed specifically for tanks in the Soviet Union (historically, the Soviet artillery designed specifically for tanks was the 2A20 115 mm smoothbore tank gun, which only appeared in the 60s). ）。

However, the 1940 105-mm tank gun was not immediately equipped with the troops, because there were no tanks equipped with it, and the cannon designed with great effort and countless manpower and material resources in a short period of time seemed to be a burden on the chicken - even the tank designers thought so, and they could not understand why Comrade Prenyakov of the Kremlin wanted to make such an unusable design.

If it weren't for Lin Jun's status and personal prestige, some people would have thought that the development of the 105-mm tank gun was a waste of Soviet resources -- such a large-caliber and powerful guy could bomb the heaviest tank to pieces with a single shot, and even pierce it. In a few years, the power of the 76-mm tank gun is enough, which is a clear waste of resources!

Stalin was still far ahead, and this year, during the expansion of the industrial base in the Urals, a production line of new 105-mm tank guns was set up in Chelyabinsk, and by now about 500 tank guns are stored in warehouses.

The comrades of the Urals had a headache at the thought of the more than 500 tank guns piled up in the warehouse - they were completely useless chicken ribs, but now the chicken ribs became the beloved braised beef! Kokin in Leningrad was in a hurry to get them, and the new heavy tank designed by his design bureau was explicitly called for a new 105-mm tank gun - although the 76-mm long-barreled tank gun was powerful enough, the sharp-eyed Kokin (or else, Comrade Kokin would not have been so successful in history!). Being able to foresee the trend of the development of tanks in the world in a few years, the heavy tank and the 105-mm tank gun that he is designing now are simply a perfect match!

Although the tank industrial base in the Urals was fully established, the Comintern plant in Leningrad was still in an important position, and Kokin's design bureau was there, and it was estimated that it would not be long before the heavy tank units of the Red Army would receive the first heavy tanks armed with 105-mm tank guns.

As for the naming of the tank, Kokin asked his father-in-law and Lin Jun, and Voroshinov and Lin Jun both thought the same - in the name of Stalin! It won't be long before the prestige of the "Stalin" tank will spread all over the world!

For Koshkin in Kharkov, the work he needed to do was much easier than that of his old rival Kokin - now the Red Army was armed with a much larger number of T34s than the KV-1 heavy tanks, and the T34s were more popular with the troops, except in exceptional cases. Long before the T34 was equipped with troops a few years ago, according to Lin Jun's suggestion, Koshkin had already made enough technical reserves, and the installation of the 85-mm tank gun on the T34 is now very easy: for several years, Comrade Chief Designer has been making minor repairs and repairs to the T34-85 design that did not have trial production, and now the T34-85, which is about to be put into production, can be said to be fully technologically mature.

As for the issue of light weapons, Lin Jun, who is in charge of equipment production, has a very clear direction - to "lock" the designs of assault rifles and rocket launchers before the end of the war, because they will be perfect for at least 20 years! The development of a new type of general-purpose machine gun is not very difficult; The DEG Galev ДПМ 7.62 mm modified light machine gun continued to be mass-produced until the end of the war: compared to the original ДП, the "turntable" machine gun, which began production last year, had a recoiling spring in the tail of the gun (after continuous firing of the original model, the heating of the barrel caused the reentry spring under the barrel to heat up and change the performance of the weapon, which affected the normal operation of the weapon. ）

Because the structure of the Deg Galev light machine gun is simple, the whole gun has only 65 parts, the manufacturing process requirements are not high, it is suitable for mass production, and even an apprentice can build it, which is essential for war! And the mechanism of the gun acted reliably, although the mass was a little large, but for the Red Army it was not a big problem. The new general-purpose machine gun was successfully trial-produced, and Lin Jun would not have let it be mass-produced until the Soviet Union reversed the giant wheel of World War II - the army urgently needed a large number of light machine guns, and ДПМ was the best choice!
