If you're joking, you're joking; if you're talking about business, you're talking about business.
For old friends Malashenko and Kotin, they must have their own sense of when to do what. After a brief banter, the first person to speak was Comrade Ma.
"Okay, let's chat later. Tell me quickly, what kind of treasures did you bring me this time? It's worth it for you to come so far to the front line."
Malashenko intuitively judged that since it was worthy of Kotin to personally take action, there must be "hard work". Kotin should not come all the way to do "bad work" in front of others, and Kotin
The next answer was as expected.
"There are quite a lot of new things, what should I tell you first? Well, I'd better introduce you to the ones I think you should be most interested in."
Having known each other for a long time, Kogin basically figured out what Malashenko liked and what type of equipment he was fond of, and he thought he could guess almost everything.
And what about Malashenko?
Instead, he followed Kejin's pace and soon came to the nearest heavy tracked armored combat vehicle.
Before Kotin could say anything, Malashenko, who was standing in front of this giant steel body, first exclaimed. This terrifying thing in front of him didn't even need to be introduced by Kotin. Malashenko was able to describe its life experience.
I'm pretty sure I guess.
"Oh my God, is this made of the body and chassis of the IS6? Did you really make it before the Battle of Berlin?"
The huge steel body lying in front of Malashenko at this moment was reasonable, but it also made Malashenko feel a little surprised.
It is reasonable to say that it is because Malashenko has made an appointment with Kotin long ago. The thing in front of him must be built, and there are already mature design ideas and ready-to-use technology.
To say that it surprised Malashenko is because Malashenko did not expect that this thing would actually be delivered to the leading division before the Battle of Berlin, as Kotin had promised.
Put into actual combat use to enhance combat effectiveness and test equipment performance.
Although it is said to be an integration of ready-made and reliable technology and mature shelf products, it is still a product born from the application of new designs. Malashenko originally thought that no matter how good Kejin was, it would take a lot of time to demonstrate the design and revise it.
After the first prototype car is trial-produced, there may be a second, third, or even more modified and supplementary versions to continuously improve and improve.
But I didn't expect that this old boy Ke Jing would even spare the prototype vehicle and send a large number of complete equipment.
Malashenko didn't know how many of these vehicles Kotin had brought with him, but when he turned around, he discovered that there were many faintly visible huge black figures parked in the not-so-distant night.
In the dark under blackout.
Although I can't see the exact number clearly, there are definitely quite a few visible to the naked eye.
Facing Malashenko's surprised look, the corner of his mouth raised. The rather proud Kotin just stepped forward and stretched out his hand, proudly patted the side armor plate of the steel beast in front of him and smiled.
"Look what you said, I will definitely do what I promised you, or do you remember when I broke an appointment?"
"."
After hearing this, Malashenko smiled helplessly, and when he thought about it carefully, it was indeed what Kojin said was right. Kojin had never let him down or failed to make an appointment beforehand.
"Okay, you're done being surprised. What I want to see is your expression. Now it's time to get down to business."
Upon hearing this, Malashenko immediately pricked up his ears and tried to listen carefully. He was even more attentive than when he took the class of the sexiest young woman teacher in his previous life at the university. He looked like that for fear of missing a little detail, and Ke
Jing’s introduction also followed closely.
"First of all, as you can see, this is a new variant vehicle modified from the body and chassis of the IS6 heavy tank. The traditional turret has been removed and a new combat module has been installed."
"Of course, although the appearance of this combat module has changed a bit, I believe you can recognize it. To be precise, this is the real mass-produced version of the TOS-1 rocket assault tank we originally agreed on. What is in front of you is the finalized one
The first batch of vehicles from the battalion you got earlier can only be considered trial versions at best, used to verify technology and obtain actual combat feedback data."
"The production volume of the previous version of the trial model was too small. I don't think it is necessary to have a separate name. Maybe our descendants will dislike us for unnecessary efforts in naming the issue."
"So the official version of this thing is still called TOS-1 rocket assault tank. Different from the previous trial version, this batch has received the official written approval from the General Administration of Equipment. This name will be in the Red Army equipment sequence from now on.
The official name of the equipment in service, and the fact that it was able to pass the review and obtain the production quota so quickly is indispensable for your role in it."
"After your actual feedback report and opinion letter, and Marshal Zhukov's approval, the entire review process was passed with almost no delay. It was even faster than the last time IS7 was finalized and put into production, and the formal approval and production indicators were obtained.
Even faster."
"Without your help, I estimate that this thing will not be finalized and put into production until next year at the earliest. It will not be able to catch up with the end of the Great Patriotic War, let alone participate in actual combat."
"As Shashmulin often said, we military workers who work on tanks and vehicles really need to thank you in the end. Without your help, the hard work we put in to perform our duties at our jobs would not be transformed into
It will definitely take longer to turn it into a practical dream product, and it is even uncertain whether it can be approved and transformed.”
Although Kotin and Malashenko often exchange some polite words about carrying people in a sedan chair, this is always inevitable for two people who hold high positions and often have to talk in front of their subordinates.
Whether they are sincere or not has nothing to do with each other. Whether it is now or in the future, no matter how the world changes, it is unavoidable. This is one of the essences of human interaction.
However, Malashenko could tell from what Kogin said now that he was sincere in it. Kogin was truly grateful for his "help."
Although this is indeed unnecessary in Malashenko's view, in pragmatic terms it is just "mutual help".
"I'm not just helping you, I'm helping myself. I also hope to get useful equipment as soon as possible. This will allow more ordinary and brave soldiers to survive until the end of the war and return home with honor.
Is there anything more worthy of pursuit than being reunited with your loved ones?"
At this point, Malashenko and Kotin, who looked at each other and found "identity" in each other's eyes, both smiled at the same time.
