Chapter 2554 The Red Visitor From a Distance

Malachenko didn't know who Kotin was talking to on the phone, but judging from Kotin's respectful attitude, the person on the other end of the phone must be no ordinary person. Ye Yan

He just said Comrade Marshal? He might be talking to Zhukov.

Malachenko thought it was possible, but since Kotin hadn't hung up the phone yet, it was not good to ask now, and it was not convenient to interrupt.

Malachenko simply sat aside, crossed his legs, and drank the cold tea on the table that no one knew who put it there to quench his thirst, just waiting for Kotin to finish the call.

"Okay, I know, please rest assured Comrade Marshal. That's it for now, bye."

Pah——

Malachenko hadn't had time to swallow a mouthful of cold tea when he heard the sound of Kotin hanging up the phone. He turned his head and saw that Kotin had finished the call.

"Are you done?"

Malachenko swallowed the cold tea in his mouth first, and then asked.

"What else? You must hang up the phone after you say you're done. Are you going to call tomorrow morning?"

Kotin's answer was straightforward, and he went straight to another single sofa next to Malachenko and sat down, and then spoke.

"You'd better go to bed early tonight. You have to go with me tomorrow morning."

"Go?"

Malachenko was puzzled, looking at Kotin with puzzled eyes.

"Where to go? I'm going to lead the team tomorrow. You know, can you let me get on the train and go back to the country with you to help you see the new tanks? "

Malachenko joked as he spoke, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood. Kotin, who was focused on talking about business, did not agree with him, but just continued to talk about business.

"I just finished a call with Marshal Zhukov. He invited the two of us to see something good, a spectacular project unveiling ceremony."

"Spectacular project? And an unveiling ceremony?"

Hearing this, Malachenko was a little confused. When was the time to hold a project unveiling ceremony when he was at the front line? Could it be that a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the prisoner-of-war camp built in advance for the Germans in Berlin? Malachenko thought with a bad taste.

On the other hand, Kotin didn't care what Malachenko was thinking, but he also knew that Malachenko probably didn't know the specific situation of the matter. What to say next had been brewing long ago.

"This matter is related to you. Do you remember that you applied to Marshal Zhukov for the Red Stalingrad before? "

"Remember, I was thinking that if I didn't use this thing in Berlin, I wouldn't be able to use it later."

Malachenko answered subconsciously until then he realized the problem, his voice stopped abruptly, and then he turned his head to look at Kotin with a slightly surprised expression.

"Wait, you mean we are going there tomorrow morning?"

Kotin nodded to Malachenko with a smile, the answer was self-evident.

"Yes, the thing has been delivered, I just found out on the phone, the confidentiality work is really in place. "

"Remember what I told you before, the special large flatbed trucks that blocked the station and caused congestion on the platform of the station? Those flatbed trucks were all covered with tarpaulins, and you couldn't see what was inside. At that time, I just thought these things blocked the station and delayed my time, but I didn't expect that those things were actually the Red Stalingrad. It's still a bit unbelievable to think about it now. "

As the most outstanding heavy tank designer in the Soviet Union, Kotin had naturally seen the giant Red Stalingrad with his own eyes.

It can be said that among all the weapons and equipment captured by the Red Army, it is the most legendary masterpiece of human mechanical engineering and war weapons.

Even if that thing was made by the Nazis, Comrade Stalin, a loving father who had an almost fanatical pursuit and love for giants, still praised and loved it, and was even willing to give her the name of the city named after him, so that she could break free from the evil shackles of the Nazis and be reborn in the hands of the Red Army.

Now, she is no longer the evil Dora used by the Nazis to invade and commit violence, but the Red Stalingrad named after the leader, which is both a leader and an immortal city of heroes.

This is obviously the most suitable for the 800mm super-giant railway gun captured outside the city of Stalingrad, both A name with both symbolic and practical meaning.

Malashenko did remember that he had mentioned to Zhukov before that he wanted to apply for this super cannon to go to the front line and put it into the first and perhaps the last combat operation after it was given a new name and reborn - the Battle of Berlin.

But Malashenko expected that the arrival time of this thing should not be so fast. After all, it is a whole set of complex and huge weapon systems, not a simple small cannon that can be loaded on a train and pulled over. At least it should wait until two days later, when the siege troops participating in the Battle of Berlin are ready, this thing will be almost likely to arrive.

Malashenko never expected that the preparation speed of this thing would be so fast, but seeing Comrade Lao Ma's surprised expression, Kotin also felt that this was not surprising.

"At present, it seems that the relevant preparations have probably started a long time ago."

"I visited that thing later, and also systematically learned about it, and even looked at the entire set of reverse surveying drawings of that thing. Comrade Stalin personally requested that this thing be reverse surveyed, not to copy it, which is not cost-effective. Comrade Stalin just hopes that we can digest and absorb the more excellent and reasonable designs in it, and then use them to improve our own technical level."

"After all, you also know that the Germans still have some tricks that are worth our interest, such as tanks and artillery."

"According to my understanding, if that thing is to be deployed, the engineering troops must enter the construction site at least a week in advance to start preparations, and must lay a complete set of rails sufficient for the installation and muzzle turning of this thing."

"Didn't you capture the German artillery regiment with both people and artillery at that time? That is, the German artillery officers and the technical support sent by the Krupp manufacturer Without the guidance of the support personnel, our people have a headache learning how to operate this thing. The complexity is no less than that of a new recruit learning advanced artillery. Most of the things in it are unfamiliar. This thing is completely different from any artillery we have come into contact with in the past. It is like a brand new weapon. "

"Fortunately, it has been so long since it was captured. I heard that our people have learned everything they should learn and can now operate it on their own without the help of the German prisoners. In addition, you made this request early, and Comrade Marshal also had relatively ample time to prepare and coordinate early. I don’t think it’s surprising that he has arrived at the front line and is ready to start deployment now. "

"It is estimated that in a few days, it won’t be too long before you can call this thing for artillery support. The Germans in the city are in big trouble now. Even any known battleship guns are like ants in front of this thing. "
