Zhukov noticed a detail, a detail that was not particularly obvious and easy to miss, but was real and objective...
No matter which time it was, Malashenko's answer always seemed to speak to his heart, as if...as if he already knew himself very thoroughly. After asking himself many times, Zhukov
, I really felt the real existence of this feeling.
Maybe this is Malashenko deliberately speaking in the direction he wants to hear, but there is no doubt that Malashenko does have the ability to do what he says. In the past, many Germans have been defeated miserably at his hands.
The bodies and wreckage are proof of that.
When it comes to physically conquering German sticks, Malashenko is an absolute expert.
Looking at the smiling but courageous young major general in front of him, Zhukov even subconsciously had the idea of "Isn't he a little too good for his age?" After a short silence, Zhukov finally smiled at Mara.
Shen Ke opened his mouth.
"Well, I believe you can do it. When the news of your triumphant victory comes, I will personally report to Comrade Stalin and ask for credit for you."
Zhukov, who was busy with frontline matters, didn't know much about the new heavy tanks that had just been reloaded. He only had some widely circulated hearsay information that could be used for analysis and reference.
It is said that Kotin, who designed this new type of heavy tank, attended the seminar on equipment development directions hosted by his kind father Comrade Stalin with a full set of design plans and Malashenko's actual combat feedback report.
I personally made the decision to mass-produce it.
According to legend, something happened at the venue at that time that made Ke Jin stand up from his chair on the spot and become emotional.
Opponents of the plan reiterated the same old tune, believing that it is not necessary to frequently replace the production line and mass-produce a brand new heavy tank when the Stalin 2 heavy tank has just been finalized and mass-produced and can ensure an absolute advantage over the enemy's armored forces.
This will affect the overall production of heavy tanks, which will have a negative effect on the frontline war.
Seeing that his plan was about to be poisoned by someone's mouth, Ke Jin was so excited that he stood up from the chair with a roar.
Kogin first spoke with data and analysis reports, proving that the design of the IS6 heavy tank has the same parts as the IS2 heavy tank as much as possible. Even if it is mass-produced immediately, it will not have much impact on the overall output, and it will soon
It can be restored, and the IS6 is a powerful weapon with more advanced armor layout design, completely acceptable cost and man-hour consumption.
Then, Kogin once again picked up Malashenko's actual combat feedback report and held it high in his hand, and said something unforgettable to the big bosses who had objections.
"If you know more about heavy tanks on the battlefield than Comrade Malashenko, you can write a similar report to refute me. In any case, Comrade Malashenko spoke highly of the new heavy tanks.
It played a huge role in the confrontation with the enemy on the frontal battlefield."
"Even he is suggesting that the Red Army's heavy tank units be re-equipped in batches as soon as possible. Only by taking early action can we cope with the enemy's next plan! I remind comrades, don't wait until the enemy's new heavy tanks appear on the battlefield.
If we rush to find countermeasures, countless Red Army tank soldiers will pay the price with their lives on the battlefield!"
The opponents could not come up with the same things or new arguments to counter the handwritten report in Kotin's hand with Malashenko's autograph.
After all, in terms of combat experience and performance alone, no other commanders and fighters of the Red Army's heavy tank units can compete with that Malashenko. It is impossible to try to overturn the report in Kotin's hands on this issue.
This man, who was horrified by the German prisoners of war as the "Steel Butcher", was best at using the Germans' tragic defeats to refresh his own record. This had always been the case. Even his loving father, Comrade Stalin, was very dissatisfied with this young tank soldier.
The major general was highly praised.
"Sit down first, sit down and talk slowly, Kogin. Comrades are just brainstorming. This is a discussion, not the final result. We can continue to talk slowly."
When Comrade Stalin spoke, Kogin naturally did not dare to disobey, and immediately followed the fatherly comrade's slowly downward gesture and sat down.
"I have clearly listened to the views and speeches made by the comrades just now. Now let me talk about my personal views."
"The enemy's tank replacement speed has indeed exceeded our previous expectations. Here I would like to ask everyone, do you remember which comrades said before that our KV heavy tanks can maintain equipment advantages over the enemy until the war?
Isn’t it necessary to change the generation if you win?”
"..."
As soon as Comrade Stalin said these words, many people at the venue immediately became uneasy.
The saying "A man is with you like a tiger is with you" is applicable everywhere. At this time, Stalin brought up old things again, brought out the rhetoric that had been proved to be wrong by facts and could no longer be stupid, and even put it in plain sight...
...
What is the purpose of this? Is it to settle the mistakes made in the past? Or is it just a matter of fact and that's it?
Everyone can only make wild guesses in their minds and cannot be sure of the answer, and no one dares to stand up and take the lead. Following Stalin's words, it is best not to do such an offending and unpleasant thing.
Seeing that his words had achieved the desired effect, the entire venue was silent, a pin drop could be heard, and the atmosphere was so solid that it was almost suffocating.
Stalin nodded slightly, then slowly opened his mouth while holding the original Malashenko report that he had been reading in his hand.
"Since our troops need it, we must use it! We must give the heaviest Red Army iron fist blow to the brutal Fascist enemy!"
"Draw up a mass production plan and report it to me, attaching an accurate time point that you think is appropriate, Ke Jing. Put this matter as your first priority, and hand it over to me personally when it's completed."
The overall strategic situation has become increasingly clear. The landing of the British and American forces in Sicily has put Hitler at a constant risk of being attacked from both sides.
Having won the decisive battle of Kursk, he had almost completely regained the strategic initiative and re-established a huge advantage over the enemy. This was something Stalin knew very well.
Some plans that were previously constrained by huge strategic disadvantages and did not dare to be carried out are now changing with the changes in the situation. Comrade Stalin, who has sufficient and reliable conditions, once again exerted his iron-fisted style and tried his best to
Against all odds, the mass production plan and plan submitted by Kejing was finally approved in person.
The mass production of the new IS6 heavy tank, which was intended to be mass-produced and eventually gradually replace the IS2 heavy tank, was officially opened on October 29, 1943.
