Chapter 1573 Another Question

Although there are still many questions, for example, Kotin still doesn't know how Malashenko came up with so many fantastic ideas at once. Is it possible that he spends all his free time thinking about this?

Maybe, it is possible, but it is no longer important for Kotin, who is familiar with Malashenko. (っ◔◡◔)っAnyway, this is not the first time Malashenko has done this, and he has long been accustomed to it.

Kotin knows very well what he should do next, and there is no need to say more, or it can be understood that everything he should say has been said.

Although the discussion about tanks has ended here, Kotin still has other things to discuss with Malashenko, which are also very important matters, and the sooner the better.

"Kalashnikov, he's still here with me. How's the batch of new guns I sent you last time? I'll tell you the truth. I haven't been able to sleep well recently because of this. I'm always worried and anxious. You'd better give me an answer that can deal with it. It has to be like this."

You really can't say that Kotin is scared or anything about this matter. Once the crime of privately mass-producing standard firearms without indicators and orders is confirmed, neither Malashenko nor Kotin can escape. They will all be investigated.

There's nothing to say about the investigation. The most terrible thing is that in the end, you might get shot. It's hard to say whether you can save your life.

Kotin, who is busy during the day, has to worry about this matter when he finally has time to rest at night. It's impossible to sleep as if nothing happened.

Kotin, tossing and turning in bed, is always worried. He even thinks about whether he should ask Malashenko's opinion through some means. After all, it would be a waste of time to be so nervous. It would delay things and make it hard to sleep. It was really torture.

But before Kotin could take action to ask Malashenko for his ideas, Malashenko came to visit him in person without any prior warning. This saved Kotin the trouble of asking Malashenko again.

"Oh, if you hadn't said it, I would have almost forgotten about it, the new batch of guns."

After talking about the big things, Malashenko, who was not yet fully full, was still stuffing a large piece of barbecue into his mouth without any heart. He stuffed it so hard that he had difficulty chewing and was about to swallow it. He picked up the fork on the table and poked it down his throat. Then he spoke to Kotin in an almost sobbing manner.

"There is no big problem with that batch of guns. It can even be said that it is completely in line with the expectations. The performance is very good and can meet the needs of the battle.

"All of these guns were taken to our division's combat engineer battalion for replacement and concentrated as elite forces. After several consecutive close combats, the soldiers responded strongly and gave unanimous praise to the guns. "

"The Germans almost collapsed and fled in front of the overwhelming firepower of this new gun. There was no suspense at all. Even when two of these new guns were together, they could suppress the German machine guns at a medium distance. Although it was only temporary, it was enough. "

"The only shortcoming is that there are too few bullets and there is no way to fight enough. Even if they are used sparingly, they can only maintain two local battles with relatively high intensity before they are almost used up. You didn't see the scene. The soldiers almost ran to the division headquarters to ask me for bullets, asking me why such a good gun was limited by bullets? Can't our motherland even provide enough bullets for the soldiers? "

"But there are some things that cannot be told to the soldiers. You know why. This is a secret. I can only find an excuse to fool the soldiers, that's all. "

Taking the napkin on the table to wipe the fat on his mouth and hands, Comrade Lao Ma, who was full of wine and food, lit a cigarette and started to talk to Kokin after dinner.

"In short, things are going very smoothly, just as we expected and agreed before. "

"This new assault rifle has a very eye-catching battlefield performance. It is a weapon that truly combines the advantages of rifles, submachine guns, and machine guns, which is enough to cause a revolution in light weapons. I have submitted the combat report to Commander Vatutin, and Marshal Zhukov also knows about this matter. They will handle the follow-up matters. As for the two of us, we just need to wait patiently. "

Vatutin and Zhukov know about it!?

Kotin, with his eyes wide open, was shocked when he heard what Malashenko said.

This was already an outrageous thing, but now even those bigwigs know about it. Kotin is eager to know what this news means.

"What are their attitudes? How did they tell you? How will this matter be handled in the future? Did they tell you in detail? "

Kotin knew that Malashenko's position and identity in the Red Army were extraordinary, far beyond that of an ordinary major general. Many famous Red Army commanders had deep or shallow friendships with this young man.

Even his father-in-law, Marshal Voroshilov, mentioned Malashenko and supported him to have more contact with Malashenko at a family dinner, directly stating that it would be good for him to get closer to Malashenko.

Malashenko said that he used this special relationship to do this, and Kotin still believed it.

With Malashenko's ability, it is not difficult to get this done through these big figures, or at least he can find these big figures to help, and have the face and ability, which ordinary major generals cannot do.

Looking at Kotin's anxious and impatient expression, Malashenko smiled slowly and didn't intend to hide anything and spoke directly.

"Things are going very smoothly. Marshal Zhukov will go back to Moscow to handle this matter in person. He now has not only the combat report I handed in, but also the battlefield situation survey he wrote himself, which includes the actual feedback from the soldiers. He also took the sample gun with him."

"I won't say much about the details. You and I both know what will happen to this matter in the future. Some words, well, just understand. The Chinese have a saying that "it can only be understood but not expressed in words". You should understand what this means."

Malashenko didn't intend to say the name of the man sitting on the highest power throne in the Kremlin. Some words only need to be mentioned. Malashenko believes that Kotin can definitely understand them with his IQ.

There is only one man in the Soviet Union who can let Zhukov bring a bunch of materials, reports, and sample guns to report the situation in person.

Similarly, only this man can issue special orders to bypass rigid regulations and put this powerful light weapon that was created ahead of time through special means into mass production, thereby achieving changes in warfare.
