Chapter 873 Perfect World

"A powerful super weapon that can have a key impact on the overall battle situation" is indeed the right way to describe Miss Dora.

In the Sevastopol Fortress, the eldest sister Gustav showed amazing combat power far beyond any land equipment of the same era. Whether it was reinforced concrete fortifications or battleship turrets protected by heavy armor, they all took the name and took it all. Even the ammunition depot buried ten meters deep under the concrete could not escape the enemy. A 7-ton armor-piercing shell hit it and spiraled up on the spot.

Although this is a super heavy equipment that requires a long time to deploy and is very troublesome, if used properly in the battle, this super first-class SSR-level siege treasure can still exert an extremely huge combat power.

In the battle of siege and fortification, it is an absolutely invincible magic weapon, which can minimize casualties for the attacker holding this city treasure, eliminate the enemy's solid bunker defense force, and open up a path to the final victory.

If it weren't for the fact that this city weapon could be of great use in future offensive battles, and that he had captured it for free without spending a penny, Malashenko would not have risked being dismissed from office to capture this thing.

Petrov's description and report were indeed fine, but Malashenko was still very depressed because he was worried and didn't know how Vatutin would deal with him.

"Alas"

Malashenko, who was almost depressed, came to the table and pulled out a chair and sat down. Political Commissar Petrov, who put out his cigarette with one hand, looked at Malashenko quietly with an expression that didn't make any sense, until our brigade commander was willing to take the initiative to speak out his thoughts.

"If I am dismissed, will the higher-ups let you lead the troops or let Lavrinenko take over? I always feel that now is the time to pack up and get ready. I am not kidding."

Political Commissar Petrov, who is usually serious, couldn't help but be amused by Malashenko's serious look. He shook his head and answered like a kind father comforting his son who did something wrong.

"First of all, we don't rule out the possibility of being dismissed, but before considering dismissal, let's see what results your unauthorized actions have brought."

Political Commissar Petrov put away his smile and changed his serious look, quietly attracting the attention of Malashenko with a sad face.

"Did our troops suffer serious casualties because of your unauthorized order? No. The morale of the troops was high. The soldiers cheered and celebrated because they broke through the strength of a German regiment and exceeded the mission objectives given by their superiors. Of course, they also captured the Germans' super weapons. This is the ultimate reason why everyone was so happy that they couldn't help themselves."

"Don't say it's our own troops, even the ones you forcibly tricked in, well, just treat it as a trick. Even the infantry battalion that was tricked in and not affiliated with our brigade, the soldiers gathered in front of the Germans' super cannon and marveled."

"The evaluation of the soldiers can best reflect whether the orders of a commander are correct. Listen to how the soldiers outside evaluate you? You are a well-deserved Soviet hero. With these evaluations, how bad can the results be?"

Hearing Political Commissar Petrov say this, Malashenko's expression gradually became a little better. Political Commissar Petrov, who felt that it was time for him to add the last fuel, continued to speak.

"I am not from the artillery, and even after being a political commissar for so many years, my tactical command has been somewhat stagnant. But I can say with certainty that the super cannon outside is not an ordinary piece of technical equipment."

"This super cannon will not only alarm Commander Vatutin, but also General Zhukov and even Comrade Stalin. We all know that Comrade Stalin has a very strong personal preference for large-caliber heavy artillery and powerful heavy tanks. I think you must have considered this when you made your own decision, didn't you?"

The big and thick 203 is always pulled out for a stroll at the Red Square parade. No matter how the new heavy tanks are designed or whether they work well in actual combat, when they pass in front of the Red Square in a line, Comrade Stalin's face is always the brightest with a smile on his face.

Commissar Petrov's guess was not "guessing the emperor's will". The supreme leader Comrade Stalin had a strong and special hobby for heavy artillery with thicker barrels and those mighty and domineering heavy tanks. This was well known among the Red Army commanders and fighters who were slightly higher in status and more or less prudent.

Commissar Petrov was just talking about something that was not often said on weekdays, "it can only be understood but not expressed in words". There was nothing wrong with it in essence.

Based on Commissar Petrov's understanding of Malashenko, who was a little shrewd, Malashenko's firm belief was beyond doubt, but under the firm belief, Malashenko was actually a little egoist who "never did anything that was thankless if he could avoid it".

However, the "self" in this egoism was often the entire army. Malashenko always put himself in the right position, considered and issued orders for the entire army as the highest commander of the army, whether in the past or now.

Political Commissar Petrov, who has lived to this age, can see through many things that young people cannot see through, and has a more thorough understanding of the nature of some things.

No one in this world is absolutely perfect. Only by learning to be tolerant can we see the world openly. Narrowness and prejudice will only narrow the road ahead and eventually lead to a dead end.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the more or less imperfections in Malashenko that I can see myself in his youth. This is not only a strong personality manifestation of an independent consciousness, but also the fundamental reason why Malashenko can improve himself more and more in his continuous growth.

The world that is born perfect only exists in idealism. Political Commissar Petrov is willing to fight for idealism all his life so that future children and the younger generation can live in a better motherland. But at the same time, I can clearly realize that I am not in the beautiful idealistic world described by my predecessors, and I can't use the concepts in the absolute idealistic world to demand and restrict anyone in the current era.

Malashenko, who was hit by Political Commissar Petrov's thoughts, was a little embarrassed. He scratched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly, and the haze on his face just now was swept away.

"That's right, Comrade Political Commissar, you are right. I did have the plan you mentioned. I thought that this super weapon would definitely allow Comrade Stalin to re-recognize our troops and recognize us in a new and higher way. To be honest, this is too important for us."
