Chapter 1589 Convince Him

How to give Morozov confidence and make him believe that installing 100 guns on the vehicle is a feasible and effective solution at the moment is the core point that Malashenko is considering now.

"Is the 100-gun useful? I think so. There is no problem with its performance on paper. It can deal with any tank currently in service with the Germans. Even those bulky and huge King Tigers can be easily taken down, as long as they are at a normal firing distance, there will be no problem."

"But it is not enough for me to think it is useful. I am just experienced in actual combat, and what I say may not be 100% absolutely correct. This still needs to be verified in practice."

"How to verify? Simple. You give me the prototype vehicle that you think is fine, and we will shorten the process and take it to the front line for testing. Whether the car is good or not, we will know it by testing it with those Germans. As long as there is no problem with the feedback from the front line, it will immediately go into large-scale mass production."

"In this way, the time problem you are worried about will be solved, and all the Red Army tank units on the front line can use the new car as soon as possible. This is a best of both worlds solution, Comrade Morozov."

The solution that Malashenko proposed to Morozov was the cooperation model that he had maintained with Kotin before.

Kotin modified the prototype plan according to Malashenko's suggestions. After the prototype was built, it was fully and reliably tested at the factory and delivered to Malashenko after confirmation.

Next, Malashenko will conduct more specific actual combat tests. Generally speaking, the prototype built according to Malashenko's experience and knowledge from the future will not have any major problems, and it will basically pass the actual combat performance on the battlefield.

After getting Malashenko's actual combat feedback, Kotin had to make some minor changes to the prototype for mass production.

Some of them were based on cost control and ease of production, and some were modifications to some unreasonable details. In most cases, the models that are truly put into mass production will be slightly weaker than the prototype. After all, the prototype carefully polished and built according to the top version is responsible for testing all systems and data, while the full-powered production line is completely different.

Based on this special cooperation model, the mass production progress of various heavy tanks designed by Kotin has been greatly accelerated by more than double or even double the speed.

Morozov didn't know that Malashenko and Kotin had always done this, and he was even a little surprised when he first heard about it.

"Will this work? If the prototype has fatal defects, it will be a big problem if it is delivered to the front-line troops. I have never heard of this being done."

Malashenko probably guessed that Morozov would say this, and the corresponding answer was already prepared.

"Let's take a step back, Comrade Morozov."

"Even if the prototype has fatal flaws as you worry, what can we do? The worst result is that we lose one, two, or three prototype tanks, and maybe a few soldiers. But how many people die on the front line every day? Sacrifice is not about the number of people, but about what the meaning is, what the soldiers' sacrifices have brought."

"What have you gained? The answer is simple. The lost tanks can let us know where the fatal flaws on the battlefield are, which is much better than wasting time on the test field. It is better to solve the problem in the prototype stage before mass production than to leave it to solve it after mass production begins."

"By then, it will not be as simple as losing a few tanks and a few people. It will be the loss of tanks and the sacrifice of soldiers of the entire battalion and regiment. What do you think? Which of these two situations is better? "

"Besides, this is just the worst case scenario we expected. We can also think about the good side and think about what the good results will be. "

"The result is that the tanks that have been proven to be excellent in actual combat can be put into mass production as soon as possible. Or what I just said, imagine how many soldiers' lives this will save? The earlier these excellent and reliable new equipment are used, the earlier the war may end. "

"No, let alone one day, even if the war ends a few hours earlier, or even dozens of minutes earlier, think about how many soldiers will survive? Everything we do is of great significance, you have to believe this. Then keep this in mind at all times and devote yourself to work. This will give you unlimited work motivation, isn't it? "

Malachenko feels more and more like a qualified lobbyist, or a negotiation expert.

This speech sounded a bit long-winded, but in fact it was all true. Even Malashenko himself felt that "what I said was really fucking right". As a native of this era, Morozov could not be untouched. You have to know that this was a "super brainwashing" from a time traveler from the future.

Ahem, brainwashing is a derogatory term, or "reasoning and moving" is more appropriate.

""

Morozov did not answer directly, but leaned on the sofa with Malashenko and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Malashenko did not intend to interrupt Morozov's thinking. It was normal to need a little time. Morozov had to slowly digest what Malashenko had just said.

If it were him, Malashenko felt that he would probably be in Morozov's current state. There was nothing strange about it. He just needed to wait patiently.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe three to five minutes, or maybe longer.

When Morozov, who was sitting on the sofa, finally opened his eyes again, Malashenko immediately came to the answer at a glance: He had definitely made a decision!

Why do you say?

Because the look in Morozov's eyes at this moment has silently explained everything. The saying that the eyes are the window to the soul is not in vain. Many things that need no words can be explained clearly with just the eyes.

"Will you help me? Comrade General. If I really want to do this, I need your experience, your advice, and all the help you can. If you don't get these, then this can only be empty talk."

The good news is that Morozov has really thought about it seriously and considered all the issues and details that should and must be considered. You can hear it just from his words.

The even greater good news is that Malashenko had made a decision long before arriving on this trip and it has not changed yet.

"The answer is inevitable, Comrade Morozov, otherwise, why do you think I would come back from the front line to find you? That's why I am here."

Malashenko's words were as firm as his eyes. Morozov, who had found the answer he wanted from the comrade general, had the same look on his face at this time.

"Come with me, Comrade General, I want to take you to see something that will definitely interest you."
