The name Deggalev is not familiar to everyone, but it occupies an important place in the history of light weapons in the entire Soviet Union, and his greatest works are two machine guns - DP27 and DShK, which are commonly known as Depp and Deshka.

Maybe not everyone is familiar with the name DP27 and Depp, but as long as you have watched old movies, especially old movies of World War II, you should have an impression of a light machine gun that uses plate-fed ammunition. This is Depp, short for the machine gun used by the Deg Galev infantry.

Anyway, Li Xiaofeng has a deep impression of this machine gun with a very novel ammunition supply, mainly because when he watched "Children of Heroes" when he was a child, he had too deep an impression of Wang Cheng carrying the radio station and holding Depp. Subconsciously think that this weapon is very dragging and awesome.

Because of this deep impression, he naturally remembered Depp's designer Deg Galev very well, and if Federov had not accepted his invitation, he would probably have invited Deg Galev to be the chief designer of small arms in North Industries.

Of course, as an aside, although the Depp machine gun looks very trendy, the scorpion's unique bizarre ammunition feeder at that time gave it the feeling of a duck in a flock. However, this kind of machine gun is also Xiao He defeated Xiao He, although the large plate with bright and blind kryptonite eyes has a relatively large ammunition capacity (47 rounds), but there are many problems, the reliability is relatively poor, the weight is relatively large, it is not suitable for offensive operations, and it is more complicated to press the bullet into the plate, it is far better to use a simple and reliable magazine to feed the ammunition.

So after the end of World War II, the DP27 was improved to the RP46 with a special bomb feeding device. Makes it possible to feed bullets with a chain (after dismantling this device.) You can also use the bullet disc).

Throughout World War II. Not only was the Soviet Red Army equipped with DP27, but during the Anti-Japanese War, the Soviet Union also assisted the bald Chang Kaishen with this machine gun, and even Chang Kaishen spent money to buy two batches. Therefore, as soon as some of the public elites who did not seek to understand it saw the photos of the Turkish Communist Party using Depp at that time, they subconsciously sprayed, thinking that this was the real evidence that the Soviet Union had supported the Turkish Communist Party in fighting the civil war. In fact, it can only be said that Chang Kaishen is a qualified transport captain.

Getting back to the point, when Li Xiaofeng knew that the mustachioed man in front of him was the famous Deg Galev. Immediately excited, he was recruiting talents, and Lao Jie sent it to the door, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Suddenly, he swept away the bad mood brought by the suitable Americans, and began to greet Deggalev enthusiastically.

"Welcome Vasily. Alexievich, it's a pleasure to see you......"

It can only be said that this stupid lack is so happy, he has forgotten what Deggalev just said, otherwise, he would definitely not be so happy.

Deg Galev was also in no mood to greet Li Xiaofeng. Directly interrupted him and said: "Andrey. Mr. Petrovich, please hurry up and find a way to rescue Vladimir. Grigorievich. He was arrested on trumped-up charges and will soon be shot! ”

Federov?

Oh, by the way, I just said Federov is here. Li Xiaofeng was obviously stunned, he hadn't kept up with Degegalev's rhythm, but immediately he woke up and shouted: "What? You repeat, Vladimir . What happened to Grigorievich? ”

Deggalev could only repeat one side again, and immediately Li Xiaofeng's face fell, and he asked in disbelief: "You mean, someone framed Vladimir with counter-revolutionary charges. Grigorievich, threw him into prison, ready to execute him? ”

"That's right, Vladimir. Grigorievich asked me to come to you for a way......" said Deggarev impatiently.

"Slow down, slow down!" Li Xiaofeng made a comforting gesture, "Explain the situation little by little, who framed him?" What exactly is the crime? ”

Deggalev hurriedly said: "It was the Tula Oblast Cheka who arrested him, and they framed him as a lackey of the bourgeoisie, a counter-revolutionary in the service of the bourgeoisie and the Tsarist army, and they were ready to shoot him tomorrow!" ”

Tula State Cheka? Li Xiaofeng thought about it, the Cheka had not been established for two days, and he really didn't know who was in charge of the anti-rebellion work in Tula Oblast, which is an important heavy industry state in Russia and the main source of weapons and ammunition, the central government should send a reliable and competent person to take charge of the anti-anti-rebellion work, after all, there is no chaos there.

He picked up the phone and asked, "Check it out for me, who is in charge of the Cheka in Tula region?" ”

Soon, the answer was given on the other end of the phone - Minzhensky.

Well, this name makes Li Xiaofeng a little painful, it's not the first time he's dealt with Minzhensky, the last time the two sides had a very unpleasant quarrel with the chief of the special section, and it seems that the relationship between this playboy and Stalin is very unusual, could it be that this is the next three indiscriminate tricks of the steel envoy?

Don't blame Li Xiaofeng for having such suspicions, the character of the steel is indeed a bit like that, and if he suffers such a big loss in Moscow, he will definitely take revenge. However, in view of the complicated situation in the party and the overall arrangement of the overall situation by the mentor, Stalin should not retaliate against him with too drastic means, at least not directly in the party, so it seems to be a good breakthrough to save the country and take Federov and NORINCO.

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng must ask clearly whether this is Stalin's revenge, "You just said that the Tula Prefecture Cheka was arrested for the purpose of serving the bourgeoisie. Grigorievich's, then what are the more specific charges, such as what kind of bourgeoisie did he serve? ”

Deggalev made a puzzled expression and asked rhetorically: "Andrey. Mr. Petrovich, you really don't understand? ”

"Understand what?" Li Xiaofeng was also puzzled.

Deggarev was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face became even more strange, and he said: "According to Vladimir. Grigorievich himself said that he worked for a company called NORINCO, acted as their chief designer, and ......"

Speaking of this, Deg Galev hesitated, and Li Xiaofeng asked a little anxiously: "And what?" ”

Gritted his teeth. Deggalev seemed to be out of his mind: "And he said. The other chief designer of this company is you. I also praise you for being a genius in the design of automatic weapons......"

The corners of Li Xiaofeng's mouth twitched twice, he could understand that when Deggalev talked about this, he was ready to take it calmly, and when he entered the second building of Lubyanka, he probably knew where he had come. The big bosses of the Cheka in the Moscow region are also in the service of the bourgeoisie is undoubtedly explosive news, and Dzhegarev may suspect that he will kill people.

Li Xiaofeng couldn't laugh or cry, although it was understandable that Degegalev wanted to go wrong, but he really didn't have any plans to leave it behind. In fact, NORINCO's relationship with him was no secret at all in the upper echelons of the party.

They all knew about this company and its relationship with him, but as long as this company financed the Bolshevik revolution, they would not pursue the class nature of this company, after all, North Industries was the two most combat-ready regiments armed for the Bolsheviks, and it was at the lowest ebb of the Bolsheviks. At this point, they won't make a fuss about it.

"Does the Tula Cheka know this?" Li Xiaofeng suddenly asked.

The nervousness on Deggalev's face became more and more obvious, and he thought more and more differently, but he still replied stubbornly: "I'm not sure, but Vladimir. Grigorievich definitely did not betray you! ”

"What can't be sold!" Li Xiaofeng knew that he had to explain it clearly. Otherwise Deggalev would have thought more and more, "NORINCO has been financing the Bolshevik revolution. Everyone including Comrade Lenin knows about my relationship with this enterprise. You don't need to be too nervous! ”

Deggalev's eyes widened visibly, to be honest, he was surprised by this answer, but if it was true, then he could breathe a sigh of relief, "So, Vladimir. Grigorievich was wronged? That's great! ”

For the excitement of Deggalev, Li Xiaofeng had a kind of ruthless and naïve thought for no reason, if I were you, I wouldn't have started cheering so early, things are not so simple!

"Ordered to arrest Vladimir. Is Grigorievich Minzhensky? Li Xiaofeng suddenly asked.

"That's right, that's the name!" Deggalev said excitedly, "Do you know him? ”

"It's not just acquaintance," Li Xiaofeng sighed, "It's just an enemy!" ”

When the first half of the sentence came out, Deggalev was so excited that he was about to cry out, but the second half of the sentence poured cold water on his head, and he asked dumbfounded: "You mean?" ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded, "You guessed it right, I also suspect that this is Minrensky wanting to take revenge on me!" ”

"Ahh Deggalev exclaimed and cried: "That Vladimir. Isn't Grigorievich hopeless! ”

"Not necessarily!" Li Xiaofeng sighed again.

Deggalev didn't know what Li Xiaofeng was afraid of, he immediately said: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and find a way!" ”

Li Xiaofeng made a gesture to calm him down, and dialed the phone again: "Comrade Petrovsky?" Yes, I'm Andrey. Petrovich, I have one thing to ask you...... That's right, did the Tula Prefecture Cheka report to you about the arrest of a small arms designer, whose name is Vladimir. Grigorievich. Federov ...... No? But as far as I know, the Tula Cheka is going to be executed for counter-revolutionary crimes, yes, it is said that he will be executed tomorrow! ”

There was silence on the phone, presumably Petrovsky was asking his secretary something, and after a while he spoke again, "Comrade Andrei, in this way, I will ask the Tula Chika about this, but I must remind you that the Tula Chika is specifically responsible for this matter, and if they have already made a verdict and want to overturn it, it is not enough for me to call. If their attitude is resolute, then I cannot casually dismiss their resolution...... So if you think Vladimir . Grigorievich is innocent, it would be better to go to the Tula region in person, communicate with them to do work, or report to the Politburo so that they do not rush to carry out the death penalty......"

Petrovsky said a lot, and the central meaning Li Xiaofeng heard it, that is, he was powerless, of course, whether he was really powerless or fake powerless, it was hard to say.

Because. Although Li Xiaofeng did not deal with Petrovsky. But Sverdlov has been heard to evaluate him. Limited ability, steady work, is a good person. The evaluation of the good man is not a good evaluation for a political activist. To put it bluntly, such a person is another manifestation of wall grass, and it is even inferior to wall grass. At least the grass on the wall still knows that the wind makes the rudder, and the good man has neither his own opinions, nor can he adhere to his principles, and be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day. It is essential to go with the flow and get by in a timely manner.

In the Bolsheviks, the most famous good man is Kalinin, this brother is not ordinary old, but he has not made any significant achievements, all forces are not offended, and he does not speak casually, as the nominal head of state of the Soviet Union later, this brother is a mud bodhisattva.

And now, Li Xiaofeng has met another mud bodhisattva, and Petrovsky is also like this. I am afraid that he also knows that this matter is strange, and he does not want to participate in the internal struggle between the two powerful forces of Lenin. So just fly up and kick the ball away.

Hanging up the phone, Li Xiaofeng felt strange in his heart, although he could understand Petrovsky's distress, being in his position was very painful, and being a good man was a last resort. However, having to be a good man does not mean that he will not do things, and Li Xiaofeng made it very clear on the phone just now that Federov is a well-known designer of light weapons and a rare talent, and it is a pity that such a person is executed on trumped-up charges.

It stands to reason that if Petrovsky had the slightest degree of principle, he would not be able to agree with Minrinsky to be so nonsense, but he was not principled, and he would just kick the ball when he was afraid of something. Even if you say that you are responsible for communication, but you don't do anything, this kind of behavior is the most intolerable thing for Li Xiaofeng.

He angrily dialed the phone number of the mentor, and said in his heart that you don't care, then don't blame me for making a small report, but probably a certain immortal has done a lot of things that hurt people's character recently, so although the phone is connected, the tutor is not there.

"Comrade Krupskaya, that's how it is, Vladimir. Grigorievich is a well-known designer of small arms in our country, and Minzhensky actually wants to execute him under the pretext of serving the North Industries, isn't this playing the piano indiscriminately? You know the nature of North Industries, this is simply a matter of careless human life! ”

As soon as she heard this kind of thing, Krupskaya on the other end of the phone was also embarrassed, how Petrovsky came to power, she knew too well, it was completely the result of Lenin's struggle with Trotsky, and now she had to use this person, so both Lenin and Trotsky had to save a little face for this person.

It stands to reason that Petrovsky should at least communicate with Minzhensky, explain the reasons, and at least do a good job of communication and resolution. But it's really strange that this product is so afraid of things and doesn't do anything.

Therefore, Krupskaya understands Li Xiaofeng's anger very well, but, as mentioned earlier, Lenin was also embarrassed on the Cheka issue, and this matter also involved the power of the Stalin family, and the mentor needed to be carefully considered when he intervened.

So Krupskaya could only sigh and ask: "Andrey, this Vladimir. Is Grigorievich really so important? ”

Li Xiaofeng said very resolutely: "He is the most famous and best expert in light weapons in my country. China's light weapons industry is inseparable from this person, he is very important! Otherwise I would not have had to personally react to Comrade Lenin on this issue! ”

Krupskaya nodded and said: "In that case, I think you should rush to Tula Oblast immediately and communicate with Comrade Minrensky first, if you do not communicate well with him, it is only right for Comrade Lenin to intervene again......"

Li Xiaofeng understood as soon as he heard it, if he didn't rush to Tula Prefecture immediately, if he didn't show his attention to Federov, then the mentor naturally didn't have to show his attention to Federov.

"I'll go to Tula Oblast right away!" Li Xiaofeng immediately agreed, "Vasily. Alekseevich, without further ado, let's go at once! ”

As soon as the words fell, the office door was pushed open again, and Frunze walked in: "Let's go?" Where are you going? ”

Li Xiaofeng patted his head, it was really inappropriate for him to leave in such a hurry, after all, Moscow still needed him to preside over the overall situation, but now that Frunze is here, it saves him a lot of effort.

"Comrade Mikhail......" Li Xiaofeng hurriedly told Frunze what had happened, as soon as he heard that such a major event had happened, Frunze naturally would not be ambiguous, not to mention that he was originally engaged in military work, and he was not an ordinary concern for weapons or something, so he immediately said: "I have heard of Vladimir. Grigorievich's name, he is the best expert on light weapons in our country, what the hell is Minzhensky doing? It's just a mess! You can go with confidence, Moscow has me watching, nothing can happen! ”

Even, Frunze also gave Li Xiaofeng a surprise: "There are many of my old comrades-in-arms in Tula Prefecture, I will introduce a few people to you, you can ask them for help if you have any problems after you go!" ”

Li Xiaofeng suddenly sighed with great emotion in his heart, people are different, Frunze's relationship with him is actually average, and there was a conflict in the previous paragraph, but when it comes to a critical moment, when it comes to issues of principle, he can be unambiguous, which is a world of difference from Minzhensky's wanton nonsense and Petrovsky's inaction!
