Chapter 1580 “Enhanced version of room allocation”
"Are you planning to leave? Are you leaving now?"
Malashenko informed Kotin that he was planning to leave on the morning of the fourth day after he came to Kotin. Kotin seemed a little surprised when he heard this.
He originally thought that Malashenko would stay for at least a week before leaving, at least to help keep an eye on the new composite armor trial production plan that was being intensively prepared. Samples of this low-tech thing could be produced soon.
Prepare for testing.
"It's almost time. I have to leave early."
"I have already given your technicians instructions and left handwritten notes and sketches on some of the technical essentials and key points of the new composite armor and the new discarding sabot armor-piercing projectile. I have also explained it to you and me several times."
"You no longer need my help here. The is4 heavy tank project review is basically at the end. You don't need me to help you speak and write a report. The output will not be high, but it still meets your earlier design expectations.
, it is enough to be used intensively by elite troops. Guys whose mobility cannot keep up with the main rhythm are really not suitable for large-scale deployment."
It was also during the few days that Malashenko stayed in Kotin that the is4 heavy tank project review submitted by Kotin earlier had basically passed.
Comrade Stalin was very interested in Kotin's statement that "the Guards need to use more elite equipment to play a more important battlefield role."
In other words, this is directly related to Comrade Stalin himself, who was a fan of big-tube heavy tanks. Out of personal preference and reuse of Kotin, he agreed to this project that already had a prototype on the front line and performed well.
.
However, due to reasons such as high cost and lengthy construction time, the mass production priority of the is4 heavy tank is not high, and it is ranked behind the is6 heavy tank and the isu-152 self-propelled artillery.
Although Kejin has made as many adaptable improvements as possible in the design of subsequent mass-produced vehicles, trying to make the is4 heavy tank have more accessories that can be common with the is6. But this is a newly designed heavy tank after all.
The objective reality of the need to open a new production line made it possible that even Comrade Stalin, who was in charge of Longyan Dayue, did not grant too many production quotas to Kejing.
First try to mass-produce a batch on a small scale and install more elite Guards tank divisions to test the effect and see how strategically advantageous this powerful 60-ton new heavy tank can be, and then decide on subsequent production.
The problem of increasing or decreasing.
It is expected that only 150 to 200 of the first batch of mass-produced IS4 heavy tanks will be produced and sent to the front line at the battalion level to be replaced by the Red Army tank divisions.
Although the result is not too surprising, at least the hard work was not in vain and the approval was obtained. This is enough for Kejing who has experienced too many storms and failures.
Since Malashenko has already decided to leave, Kogin will naturally not say anything more and force Malashenko to stay. After all, Malashenko is not here to travel, he is brought here.
There are a lot of things to do, and it is normal for someone to take leave from the front line and rush back to do business. The tight schedule is normal.
"Where do you plan to go after you leave? Go directly back to the front line? Or go home and rest for a while?"
Malashenko, who came to Kotin's office to tell Kotin that he was about to leave, was holding a cigarette in his mouth, puffing on smoke and talking about private matters with Kotin. This is what the two brothers have done recently.
It’s rare to have some private time in a few days.
"I still have some things to deal with, and I can't go home yet."
"Oh, by the way, I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me. There is something else I need to tell you. You need to know."
He reached out and flicked the ashes into the exquisite ashtray on Kotin's desk. Malashenko, who had no intention of hiding anything from Kotin on this issue, then spoke slowly.
"After I leave you, I plan to go to Morozov. I need to talk to him in person about some suggestions for design improvements."
"I know you may have something to say about this, but it's not too late to hear what I have to say first, and then I'll say it again."
"Our division is no longer a pure heavy tank unit. The organization and scale of the unit are getting larger and larger, and they are constantly upgraded. From the beginning of a single heavy-armed assault unit, it has become more and more integrated and multi-mission combined units.
This is an inevitable development law."
"It was only after I installed some new medium tanks that I realized that Morozov's design ideas were really lagging behind yours."
"The Germans' armored forces and anti-armor weapons are increasingly strengthened by our continuously upgraded heavy tank power. But under such circumstances, Morozov's design has not been matched.
Speed up the update. If things go on like this, the gap will become wider and wider, which will become increasingly detrimental to our Red Army. After all, medium tanks are the support of more troops."
"From the perspective of the overall macro-strategy of our Red Army, Morozov needs and should get some help now. This is what I plan to do and why."
In fact, as early as the last time he went back to the rear to rest, Malashenko wanted to go to Morozov to talk specifically about the development and upgrade plan of medium tanks and give him some ideas and suggestions, so as to provide another boost to the Red Army tank force.
.
It's just that that time, Malashenko, whose first priority was to deal with Kalashnikov's mess, was really busy and never left the ground.
In the end, I was so busy that I forgot about it. The days flew by so fast, and my half-month vacation was used up.
After returning this time, Kalashnikov's issue has been settled, and Kotin's issues are basically busy. Everything that needs to be done and what needs to be said is in place.
Malashenko, who was always thinking about Morozov's side, decided not to miss the opportunity this time. He had to give Morozov a hand no matter what and improve the design and improved design of the medium tank as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when Shashmulin's IS7s are all on the battlefield, the medium tanks are still using T43 or even T3485, which are in the same frame as the IS7s and accompany them in the battle. However, the German guns on the opposite side will all be upgraded if they are not kept intact by then.
Versions of Tiger King, Hunting Tiger, and even more terrifying monsters that you don’t even know what ghosts are.
If t3485 and t43 could be personified, they would probably say "I'll bite your motherfucker".
This kind of "wonderful scene" is far better than "Anton Star Room Allocation" and "Sergei File". Just thinking about it, Malashenko couldn't help sticking out his tongue and shaking his head. He could not let such a scene happen under any circumstances.
happens and must be prevented.
The focus of all this is not on how Malashenko should help Morozov. With the memory brought about by Malashenko's status as a later time traveler, this kind of thing is just a trivial matter at best.
The crux of the problem lies precisely in Kotin, who does not see eye to eye with Morozov and has an obvious competitive relationship.
