Chapter 1364 “mak 44”

This weapons test is crucial, not only for Malashenko, but for the entire Red Army infantry unit.

Before going to the actual battlefield, the new assault rifle has to pass the range test. If you lose weight on the shooting range, stretch your belt, stretch your crotch, and have problems, then even if you go to the battlefield, it will only be for nothing and the Germans will laugh at you.

To put it bluntly, Malashenko is really unsure about the AK that was born in advance. This is not only a question of a gun, but also whether I will be invited to the Lubyanka Hotel for tea by the blue hats of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the end, I might even be rewarded with a peanut, "Let me do it again." Call Comrade Stalin!” is by no means an imaginary final cry.

"Damn it, I feel like my heart is about to jump out of my throat. Don't make any jokes for me! If something goes wrong, you won't be able to decide!"

In fact, before the real test begins, there is another interesting thing worth mentioning separately.

After the end of Kotin's personal secret letter written specifically to Malashenko, there was actually another brief letter in the envelope, which Kalashnikov wrote specifically to Malashenko.

The main content of the letter is nothing more than a huge thank you to Malashenko, thanking the comrade general for giving him a stage and opportunity to realize his dream, which Kalashnikov never dared to dream of before.

After this is a brief log description of some weapon development processes, as well as a general summary of the initial performance of the weapon. Kalashnikov tried to use a brief text to increase Malashenko's confidence, and only after Malashenko believed that there were absolutely no problems with his masterpiece would it be officially finalized, produced on a small scale and sent to the front line.

Kalashnikov, who slept almost all night long either in the office or in the factory workshop, had the absolute confidence and courage to commit to all this.

In addition to these routine matters, what shocked Comrade Lao Ma the most but made people laugh and cry was the suggestion that Ke Jin attached at the end of the letter.

"Comrade General, according to my country's past naming convention of small arms, if this assault rifle can be officially mass-produced and officially named and numbered, I think it will probably be called "Kalashnikov assault rifle." , but I don’t really like and agree with this name.”

"You have put in great efforts in the creation and mass production of this weapon. I have always seen it, Comrade General. I think I just followed the direction you guided and implemented it. It is such a joy and excitement that I am so happy to be the one who is your will and plan.

"For this reason, I hope that this assault rifle in the future can be called the "Malashenko Kalashnikov assault rifle." Your name comes first, my name comes last, and you are the one who plays the role. The creator who leads, guides, and plays the most important role.”

"This is the fact and the truth, and it will never change. As practitioners of truth, we have an obligation to let every soldier who uses this weapon to defend the motherland and people know the truth and spread the praises. I want all Everyone knows your achievements, Comrade General, you should not hide behind the scenes on such an epoch-making matter, this is all I want to say."

Kalashnikov is a young and very honest handsome guy. Malashenko knew about this situation from the beginning. This is completely consistent with the records of Kalashnikov's character and experience in history books.

But being so honest as a person, as a true designer, putting the name of the person who is equivalent to his mentor in front of the name of the weapon he designed himself, he is willing to succumb to the second place and be a pendant "accompanying the prince" Malashenko really didn’t expect that Kalashnikov would sincerely want to do this.

"This is the honor you deserve, Kalashnikov. I never intended to usurp the title of your masterpiece. Your name should be used together with your works on the right path to defend the motherland and people." . At the same time, the name "Kalashnikov" should be sung and praised everywhere in the land of the motherland and in the mouths of the soldiers. "

"It's also an honor for me to be able to guide and help you. I can't wait to see those evil Nazi fascists bow down to the powerful power of our new assault rifles, and this is all your masterpiece. , your credit.”

"So never make similar words or suggestions in the future. You can regard this as my order. Once the new assault rifle becomes a big success, it will definitely be named after you. This is the only thing that will never change. of truth.”

This part of the content was attached to Malashenko's reply. After it was packaged, it was handed over to a trustworthy person and sent directly to Kotin in the rear area, waiting to be handed over to Kalashnikov. moment.

It is really interesting to say that when I think about the possibility that AK may be accidentally called "MAK44", Malashenko, a time traveler with future memories, feels inexplicably dumbfounded and speechless.

"Malashenko Kalashnikov assault rifle? What the hell is this name? It's really embarrassing to laugh."

Malashenko, who was speechless, shook his head slightly, but the elite soldiers of the fully armed combat engineer battalion on the side were already ready.

"Attention everyone! Load your guns and aim at the target——"

The commander who personally issued the order was none other than Varosha, who knew how big the matter was and recommended himself to Malashenko to go into battle himself.

The comrade leader rolled up his sleeves and became the test commander himself. This was a big event that had never happened before.

The soldiers participating in this target shooting test are all veterans of the combat engineer battalion and have rich experience.

However, despite this, the comrade leader, comrades and deputy division commanders, and comrades political commissar all came to visit the scene. Even the usually energetic comrade battalion commander was reduced to a supporting role and a scene that was difficult to pay attention to, but it still made these already... The veterans who realized how important the test they participated in felt a little nervous and even had sweaty palms.

"I hope this gun works as well as it says!"

This is the most real thought in the minds of almost all veterans and soldiers at this moment. The black holes in their hands are already pointed at the target in a neat row.

"Fire!!!"

As Varosha received an order from Malashenko's eyes, whether the AK that was spawned in advance worked well or not, it was the final moment when both the mule and the horse had to be pulled out.
