At first, Kalashnikov, who was in a panic, did not look too seriously at the man on the hospital bed.
Kalashnikov only judged based on his own experience that the colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had somehow caught him here and asked the man on the hospital bed to complete the task. The man lying on the hospital bed should be at least one
General, this is a big shot that I can't afford to offend! I don't dare to look directly at him when I don't understand the situation.
It wasn't until Malashenko took the initiative to greet Kalashnikov and threw him an apple that Kalashnikov, who raised his head, could see the true face of the man lying on the hospital bed.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Kalashnikov was shocked when he took a closer look with his eyes.
Even though Kalashnikov, who was a tank soldier, retreated to the rear and was not on the front line, he was always concerned about the progress of the war on the front line. From time to time, he used various information acquisition channels to learn about his comrades on the front line and how the heroic Red Army tank troops were doing.
From the descriptions in newspapers and other people's mouths, and even from the loudspeakers used for broadcasting, Kalashnikov saw and heard more than once that the words were always related to "Fascism was defeated" and "the Red Army".
The name associated with the exciting good news of "win": Dimitri Drukovich Malashenko.
And when the man who had appeared in the photos in Pravda many times appeared in front of him, Kalashnikov, who recognized Malashenko at a glance, was still a little unbelievable. Such a first encounter was indeed too much.
It was sudden and unprepared.
"You are the hero of the Soviet Union! You are the tank hero Colonel Malashenko! I...I have many special reports and columns about you. I even cut them out from newspapers, collected them, and posted them in my notebook
It can be used as learning materials, I...I...I..."
Seeing that Kalashnikov was so excited that he was a little speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment. Malashenko, who was used to others looking at him in this way, didn't get too hung up on this little thing and pointed with a smile.
He pointed to the chair next to his hospital bed and spoke again.
"Sit down and talk, Comrade Kalashnikov. I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Malokov, who sent the man to Malashenko, did not stay too long and did not place any restrictions on Kalashnikov's personal freedom. He just said, "Colonel Malashenko said you can go back."
Then you can really go back." After leaving these words, he took his adjutant and stepped on the accelerator and drove back to the Lubyanka Hotel.
Knowing that Malashenko had something serious to talk about, Anya did not disturb him too much. She told Malashenko not to sit in one position for a long time and to pay attention to his activities. After that, he packed his things and left the ward.
I don’t know where Iushkin went with his two good friends Kirill and Seryosha. All in all, only Malashenko and Kalashnikov were left in the ward.
Of course, this is also the most suitable conversation environment for Malashenko, bar none.
"Kalashnikov, are you still designing your own small arms?"
Kalashnikov, who was worried about what to say next, was slightly taken aback when he heard this, but quickly nodded to Malashenko.
"I have always been doing it, Comrade Colonel. I am motivated to make a weapon that can minimize the casualties of our comrades on the front line. It should be more reliable than all current light weapons! It can also be used in the worst combat environment.
It can perform freely! As long as the soldier is alive, it will be the most reliable comrade beside the soldier! It will not suddenly malfunction and kill the soldier!"
Kalashnikov described the goals he had set in life, becoming more and more excited as he spoke, but at the last moment when he should have reached the climax, Kalashnikov suddenly lowered his head again, as if his ball had deflated.
"But I haven't succeeded so far, Comrade Colonel. The first submachine gun I built was not selected. Maybe it was too rough in workmanship and had some problems. I think I should be able to improve it."
"I'm waiting for the next opportunity. I will participate in the competition with better works. As long as the comrades on the front line can use the best weapons, I am willing to continue to work hard!"
At any time in this world, there will always be situations where a horse with a thousand li horse will appear, but a bole will not always appear.
Kalashnikov, who has not yet been discovered, is still waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to display his talents and let his excellent works come to the fore.
Even if you don't interfere too much, this opportunity will eventually come.
The only regret was that it was too late. Kalashnikov failed to complete Kalashnikov's long-cherished wish to use his work to reduce casualties for his comrades on the front line. Instead, it became a world-famous horror that killed more people than the atomic bomb.
murder weapon.
Looking into the eyes of Kalashnikov sitting in front of him, Malashenko could read the emotions of perseverance and perseverance. He asked himself that he had messed up the timeline he was in now, and he was constantly doing nothing.
Rashenko simply decided to add one more thing and be a good person once to make up for Kalashnikov's regretful lifelong wish.
"If you were given an opportunity to realize your dream, would you cherish it? Kalashnikov."
Malashenko's questions were always raised too suddenly and without any warning. Kalashnikov, who was not mentally prepared, was stunned for about two or three seconds, and quickly changed his mind after a slight hesitation.
For a determined nod.
"I think I do, Comrade Colonel."
"Well..."
There is no use in talking too much with Kalashnikov in the ward. It is best to leave the discussion of specific weapon design to later.
Malashenko, whose eyes were rolling rapidly in his sockets, quickly put together a completely feasible plan. This initially formed plan could basically bypass most of the existing known problems and troubles, allowing Kalash to
Nikov's design came to prominence as quickly as possible through his own hands. The key depends on whether Kalashnikov is willing to listen to his own arrangements.
"I am very appreciative and optimistic about your design and efforts, Kalashnikov. If you are willing, I will take you to a place where you can devote yourself wholeheartedly to the design of small arms. There will be sufficient supply of resources and assistants as you wish.
You can choose, and your work can be quickly sent to the battlefield where it can be tested in actual combat."
"It's not in Moscow, and it's certainly not on the front line. You will have a completely new and completely different working environment. There are people I know well there, and I will do my best to help you realize your dream. But I also have a condition, I
It only requires that the work you design is good enough, otherwise it will just be empty talk. Are you confident that you can do it?"
