Although there are still many questions, for example, Kogin still doesn’t know how Malashenko came up with so many unreasonable opinions all at once. Is it possible that he has been thinking about this all day long when he has free time?
Maybe, it is possible, but it is no longer important to Kotin who is familiar with Malashenko. Anyway, this is not Malashenko's first behavior, and he has long been used to it.
Ke Jin knew very well what he should do next, and there was no need to say anything more, or it could be understood that everything that needed to be said was said.
Although the tank-related discussion has ended, Kotin still has other things to discuss with Malashenko, which are also very important things. The sooner they can be discussed, the better.
"Kalashnikov, he is still here with me... What happened to the new batch of guns I sent you last time? Let me tell you the truth, I have not even been able to sleep because of this recently.
I can't sleep well, and I'm always worried. I'm always hanging on. You'd better tell me an answer that can cope with it. It must be like this."
You really can't say that Kotin is cowarded or anything like this. Once the crime of mass-producing standard firearms without targets and orders is proven, neither Malashenko nor Kotin can escape. One of them counts.
Everything needs to be checked.
There is nothing to say for future reference. The most terrible thing is that in the end, you may get shot. It is not a matter of whether you can save your life.
Ke Jing, who was very busy during the day, had to worry about this matter when he finally had time to rest at night. It was impossible to sleep directly as if nothing had happened.
Kogin, who was lying on the bed tossing and turning, was still worried. He even considered asking Malashenko what he thought through some means. After all, it wouldn't be a problem if he kept being so worried. He would not even be able to sleep if he didn't talk about it.
Not sleeping well is really torture.
But before Kotin could take action to ask Malashenko for advice, Malashenko came to visit him personally, suddenly returning from the front line for a visit without any prior warning. This saved Kotin from having to worry about it again.
Go ask Malashenko for trouble.
"Oh, if you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten about it, those new guns."
Malashenko, who had finished talking about important matters but whose stomach was not completely full, was still stuffing large pieces of barbecue into his mouth heartlessly. He stuffed it so hard that it was difficult to chew and he almost couldn't swallow it.
, Malashenko picked up the fork on the table and stabbed it down his throat, and then said to Kotin in an almost whimpering manner.
"That batch of guns... hiccup... There is no big problem with that batch of guns. It can even be said that they are completely in line with the expectations. The performance is very good and can meet the needs of the battle."
"All of these guns were used to re-equip the combat engineer battalion of our division, and were used as elite forces. We fought several close-quarters battles in succession, and the soldiers responded strongly and gave this gun unanimous praise."
"The Germans almost collapsed in front of the overwhelming firepower of this new gun. There was no suspense about their chances of winning. Even two of these new guns together can suppress the German machine guns at a medium distance, although only temporarily.
Yes, but it’s enough.”
"The only shortcoming is that there are too few bullets, so I can't manage enough to fight. Even if I use them sparingly, I can only use them after two relatively high-intensity local battles. Didn't you see that scene? The soldiers almost ran away
The division headquarters came to me to ask for bullets and asked me why such a good gun should be restricted by bullets? Doesn’t our motherland even have enough bullets for the soldiers? "
"But... there are some things that cannot be said to the soldiers. You know why, it's a secret. I can only find any excuse to get rid of the soldiers, that's it."
I picked up the napkin on the table and wiped the fat on my mouth and hands. I was satisfied with the food and wine. I lighted a cigarette quite comfortably. Comrade Ma started to compete with the gods after the meal and took a long breath.
After getting angry, he continued to speak to Ke Jing.
"All in all, things went very smoothly, just as we had expected and agreed upon."
"This new type of assault rifle performs very well on the battlefield. It is a true combination of the advantages of a rifle, a submachine gun, and a machine gun. It is enough to cause a revolution in light weapons. I have submitted the combat report to Commander Vatutin.
Marshal Zhukov also knows about this matter, and they will handle the follow-up matters. We just need to wait patiently."
Vatutin and Zhukov both know!?
Kogin, whose eyes were wide open, was shocked when he heard Malashenko's words.
What was already outrageous is now known to even the big shots, and Ke Jin is eager to know what this news means.
"What's their attitude? What did they tell you? How will this matter be handled in the future? Have they told you in detail?"
Kotin knew that Malashenko's status and identity in the Red Army military circles were extraordinary, far beyond the ordinary major generals. Many famous Red Army generals and commanders had deep or shallow friendships with this young man.
Even his father-in-law, Marshal Voroshilov, mentioned Malashenko and supported him at the family dinner to have more contact with Malashenko. He directly stated that it would be good for him to get closer to Malashenko.
.
Malashenko said that he used this special relationship to do this, but Kogin still believed it.
With Malashenko's ability, it is not difficult to accomplish this through these big people, or at least he can find these big people to help. With this face and ability, ordinary major generals cannot do this.
Looking at Kogin's anxious and impatient expression, Malashenko smiled slowly and did not intend to hide anything, so he spoke directly.
"Things are going very smoothly. Marshal Zhukov will personally return to Moscow to handle this matter. He now has in his hands not only the combat report I submitted, but also the battlefield situation investigation he wrote personally, which contains the actual situation of the soldiers.
Feedback, he also took the sample gun away with him."
"I won't go into the details. You and I both know what will happen to this matter in the future. Some words... well, just understand them. The Chinese have a saying that "you can only
"The meaning is indescribable", you should understand what this means."
Malashenko did not intend to say the name of the man who sat on the highest throne of power in the Kremlin. Some words just needed to be pointed out. Malashenko believed that with Kotin's IQ he could definitely understand.
Zhukov could be asked to bring a bunch of materials, reports, and a sample gun to report the situation in person. Even if you look at the entire Soviet Union, there is only one man with such qualifications.
Similarly, only this man can issue special orders to bypass rigid regulations and put this powerful light weapon, which was born in advance with special means, into mass production, thereby changing the war.
