Anyone who hears about such a powerful new weapon for the first time will be quite curious. Comrade Zhu’s reaction was completely within the normal range. Vatutin had just heard that Malashenko had created such an awesome thing.
When that happened, his reaction was basically the same as Zhukov's.
There is no doubt that Zhukov, who raised this question today, is lucky. Vatutin can satisfy Comrade Zhu's desire to see everything.
"I think you asked the right person, Comrade Marshal. You don't have to go down to Malashenko to feast your eyes. When Malashenko sent the report, he also sent me such a new assault rifle.
The matching bullets and firearm parts are all available, making it a complete set of weapons.”
"Oh? Is there anything else?"
For Zhukov, who was full of curiosity, what Vatutin said was undoubtedly great news.
Zhukov really planned to wait until he got to the army tomorrow to get the new gun. He took a good look at it and wanted to ask Vatutin first about his experience of getting started with the gun. He really didn't expect such a surprise waiting.
Hold yourself.
"Come on, take me to see you. I can't bear it anymore."
It is not easy for Zhukov to say that he cannot help himself. Zhukov, who exudes a calm, capable and sophisticated aura, can deal with most things without panic, as usual.
He was so looking forward to a firearm that he even took the initiative to use words like "can't help" to describe it. Vatugin, who nodded for a moment, understood how "itchy" Comrade Marshal was feeling at the moment. In this case, he had better hurry up.
It would be best to take Comrade Marshal to have a quick look.
The AK sent by Malashenko was placed in Vatutin's own office. It was put in a weapons box and hidden under Vatutin's chair. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter or leave the office of Comrade Commander without permission.
, relatively speaking, putting it in your own office is undoubtedly the safest option. Taking Zhukov there to see it in person can also avoid unnecessary people and ensure safety.
Under the leadership of Vatutin, Zhukov soon came to the office and saw the true face of the legendary "new assault rifle" in Lushan.
For the sake of safety, the weapon box with a small lock was specially opened by Vatutin himself, and the items contained in it lay quietly inside the box waiting to be touched.
A strange-looking new gun, two empty magazines, a few firearm accessories and a small set of maintenance tools, this was all Zhukov could see.
"That's it? Malashenko's new assault rifle?"
Although he clearly knew that the thing in front of him was the rightful owner he was looking for, for some unknown reason, Zhukov still asked Vatugin as if it was a bit unnecessary, and he naturally received an affirmative answer from the other party.
"Yes, Comrade Marshal. The weapon does not have a name yet. Malashenko calls it an assault rifle, which is a product that combines the advantages of a submachine gun and a rifle. Judging from the actual combat effects, this is indeed the case. This new weapon has both a submachine gun and a rifle.
With its advantages, it is an absolute handy partner for soldiers."
Vatutin volunteered to be the commentator and explained to Zhukov the objects placed in the box in front of him. Zhukov nodded briefly and took a deep breath. Then he stretched out his hands and took out the items from the box on the desk in front of him.
It is a masterpiece that will go down in history in the history of human small arms. Touching its texture and feeling its weight once you get your hands on it, you can't help but be amazed.
"It's very comfortable to hold and feels better than Bobosa in the hand. The weight is also suitable. The empty gun weighs about the same as an ordinary rifle. It will not be too heavy after loading the bullet. It is very suitable for soldiers.
marches and battlefield movements.”
Click——click——
Zhukov, who praised the excellent feel of the new gun in his hand, loaded the gun. Although the magazine was empty and there were no bullets to be fired, the crisp sound of the barrel impact was still heard clearly, which made everyone who heard the sound heard it.
Zhukov nodded with satisfaction with a smile on his face.
"Although I haven't actually fired it yet, my first impression was that it was a very good weapon. The report said that the person who designed this gun was a young man? Is this confirmed? I always feel that this is only an experienced weapon.
, something that can only be designed by a master like Comrade Deggarev, the feel and weight seem to be tailor-made for frontline soldiers.”
In 1944, Kalashnikov was not yet the world-renowned super gun king in the 21st century. At this moment, he was just a young and unknown firearms enthusiast and a fledgling small arms designer.
The childish aura has not completely faded away, and he is far from the serious firearms master in people's minds.
"Yes, Comrade Marshal, the person who designed this gun was indeed a young man named Kalashnikov. He was so young that he was even a little ridiculous. He was two years younger than Malashenko. He was a tank of our Red Army before.
A gunner and commander of the army commanded a T34 medium tank in combat. Later, he was injured on the battlefield and was sent to the rear to recuperate. He was unable to return to the front line because of his injured arm."
"After that, he went to many places to design firearms, including train locomotive depots and small arms design bureaus. He stayed in many places. Last year, he made a small splash by participating in the National Small Arms Design Competition, but it was very difficult.
It’s a pity that I wasn’t chosen.”
"Malashenko found him when he returned to Moscow to recuperate. It is said that after communicating with him for half a day, he believed that he could create an epoch-making new weapon. After that, you and I both know that even Comrade Kotin was attracted by Marashenko.
Ke was dragged into the trap, and I don’t know what method he used.”
Naturally, Vatutin and Zhukov did not know that Malashenko did not have any special super power of predicting the future, but just because of the future time travellers. They knew that Kalashnikov was an absolute genius and king-level master in designing firearms.
.
So he asked someone to proactively find Kalashnikov and wanted to make some "big news" ahead of his time. After all the tricks, Malashenko actually got it done.
"Well... it sounds unbelievable. I will ask Malashenko carefully later to ask for details. By the way, this designer named Kalashnikov, where is he now? Where is he?
"
Malashenko had a keen eye for talent and dug out such a young master of firearms design. Out of trust in Malashenko's work, Zhukov believed that this young man named Kalashnikov had outstanding talents and had passed the practical test.
The work is emerging and deserves attention and important responsibilities.
