Chapter 1580 "Power-Enhanced 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 new sabot-piercing projectiles, and I have explained them to you several times."

"You no longer need my help here. The review of the IS4 heavy tank project is basically at the final stage. You don't need me to help you speak and write reports. 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 review of the IS4 heavy tank project submitted by Kotin earlier had basically been passed.

Comrade Stalin was very interested in Kogin's statement that "the Guards need to use more elite equipment to play a more important battlefield role." 【】

Or perhaps this is directly related to Comrade Stalin himself being a fan of big-tube heavy tanks. Out of personal preference and the reuse of Kejing, I 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 used in common with the IS6. But after all, this is a newly designed heavy tank, and the objective reality of needing to open a new production line made even Comrade Stalin of Longyan Dayue not grant too many production quotas to Kejing.

First try to produce a batch of small-scale mass production 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 adding or subtracting trade-offs.

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 did not come here for a trip. He brought a lot of things with him and took leave from the front line to rush back to do business. The tight schedule is normal and reasonable.

"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 chatting about private matters with Kotin. This is what the two brothers have done recently. It’s a rare 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 Kogin's desk. Malashenko, who did not intend to hide anything from Kogin on this issue, then spoke slowly.

"After I leave you, I plan to go to Morozov's place. I need to talk to him in person about some opinions on design improvements."

"I know you may have something to say about this, but it's not too late to hear me out first and then speak up."

"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 begun to move more and more towards an integrated, multi-mission synthetic unit. This is an inevitable development law.”

"It was only after I installed some new medium tanks that I discovered 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 widen and become more and more disadvantageous 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 deserves some help now, and that's 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. .

Only that time, Malashenko, whose primary task was to deal with the Kalashnikov issue, was so busy that he never left.

In the end, he was so busy that he forgot about it. The days passed quickly and the half-month vacation was over.

This time, he not only dealt with the Kalashnikov issue, but also basically dealt with the problems on Kotin's side. He did what he should do and what he should say.

Malashenko, who was always thinking about Morozov, decided that he could not miss the opportunity this time. He had to help Morozov and improve the design and improvement of the medium tank as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when Shashmurin's IS7 went to the battlefield, the medium tanks were still using T43 or even T3485, fighting together with IS7. And the Germans on the opposite side might have used the upgraded King Tiger, Jagdtiger, or even more terrifying monsters that no one knew what they were.

If T3485 and T43 could be personified, they would probably say "Fuck you".

This "wonderful scene" far surpasses "Anton Star Room Division" and "Sergei File". Malashenko couldn't help but stick out his tongue and shake his head just thinking about it. He couldn't let such a scene happen anyway and must stop it.

The focus of all this is not on how Malashenko can help Morozov. With the memory brought by Malashenko's identity as a time traveler in the future, this matter is at best a trivial matter.

The focus of the problem is precisely Kotin, who is at odds with Morozov and has an obvious competitive relationship.
