Chapter 2554 The red visitor from afar

Malashenko didn't know who Kogin was talking to while holding the phone in his hand, but judging from Kogin's respectful attitude, the person on the other end of the phone must not be simple. perform

Did you hear him just say Comrade Marshal? That Bao Buqi was talking to Zhukov.

Malashenko was thinking about this possibility, but since Kogin hasn't hung up the phone yet, it would be inappropriate to ask now because it would be inconvenient to interrupt.

Malashenko simply sat on the side, crossed his legs and drank the cold tea that someone put there on the table to quench his thirst first, waiting for Kogin to finish the phone call.

"Okay, I understand. Please rest assured, Comrade Marshal. That's it for now. Goodbye."

Snapped--

Before Malashenko had time to swallow his sip of herbal tea, he heard the sound of Kejin putting down the phone. When he turned around, he saw that Kejin had finished his work and made the call.

"Are you done?"

Malashenko swallowed the herbal tea in his mouth first, and then asked questions.

"Otherwise? I'll definitely hang up the phone when I'm done. Do I have to call tomorrow morning?"

Kogin's answer was straightforward, and then he went straight to the other single sofa next to Malashenko and sat down, and then spoke.

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

"Take a trip?"

Malashenko was confused and looked at Kogin with puzzled eyes.

"Where are we going? It's not like I don't know that I'm going to lead the team out tomorrow. Could you please let me get on the train and go back to China with you to help you see the new tanks?"

Malashenko also joked while talking, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood. However, Kogin, who was focused on talking about business, did not agree and just continued on with the business.

"I just finished a phone call with Marshal Zhukov. He invited us both to see something wonderful, a spectacular unveiling of a project."

"A spectacular project? And an unveiling ceremony?"

As soon as he heard this, Malashenko was a little confused. When was there a war? How could he hold a project unveiling ceremony while he was on the front line? Is it possible that the prisoner of war camp built in advance for the Germans in Berlin needs to have a groundbreaking ceremony? Malashenko thought with amusement.

On the other hand, Kogin didn't care what Malashenko was thinking, but he also knew that Malashenko probably didn't know the specifics of the matter yet, and what he should say next had already been planned.

"This matter has something to do with you. Do you still remember your application to Marshal Zhukov for the red Stalingrad?"

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

Malashenko, who subconsciously answered, didn't realize the problem until then. His words stopped abruptly, and then he turned to look at Kotin with a slightly surprised expression.

"Wait, you mean we are going to go tomorrow morning."

Smiling Kotin nodded towards Malashenko, the answer was self-evident.

"That's right, the thing has arrived. I just found out on the phone. The confidentiality work is really good."

"Remember what I told you before about those special large flatbed trucks that I saw on the station platform that blocked the station and caused congestion? Those flatbed trucks were all covered with cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside. At that time I just thought these things were blocking the station and wasting my time, but I didn’t expect those things to be the red Stalingrad. Now that I think about it, I still find it a bit unbelievable.”

As the most outstanding heavy tank designer in the Soviet Union, Kogin should have 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 though the thing was made by Nazism, the loving father Comrade Stalin, who had an almost fanatical pursuit and love for giant things, still praised and loved it. He was even willing to give her the name of a city named after himself. She broke free from the shackles of evil and gained Nirvana and rebirth in the hands of the Red Army.

Now, she is no longer the evil Dora used by Nazis to invade and commit violence, but the red Stalingrad who is named the leader, an immortal city that is both a leader and a hero.

This is obviously a perfect name for the 800mm super-giant train gun that was captured outside Stalingrad, with both symbolic and practical meanings.

Malashenko also remembered that he had mentioned to Zhukov before that he wanted to apply for this super cannon to be sent to the front line to participate in its first and possibly last combat operation after it obtained a new name and was reborn. Go to the Middle - Battle of Berlin.

But Malashenko expected that the arrival time of this thing would not be so fast. After all, it is a complex and huge weapon system, not a simple small cannon that can be loaded on a train and pulled over. It should wait at least two days, when the siege troops participating in the Battle of Berlin are ready, then it is almost possible for this thing to arrive.

Malashenko never expected that this thing could be prepared so quickly, but Ke Jin, who saw the surprised expression on Comrade Ma's face, also thought it was not surprising.

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

"I later visited that thing and systematically understood it. I even saw the entire set of reverse mapping drawings of that thing. It was Comrade Stalin who personally requested reverse mapping of this thing. It was not for the purpose of imitating it. This is not It’s a good deal. Comrade Stalin just hopes that we can digest and absorb the more excellent and reasonable designs, and then use them for our own purposes to improve our own technical level.”

"After all, you also know that the Germans still have a few things in their hands that are worthy of our interest. This is true for tanks and the same is true for 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. A complete set of rails must be laid for the erection and muzzle steering of the thing."

"Didn't you capture the German artillery regiment, including its men and cannons? It was the artillery officers of the Germans and the technical support personnel sent by the Krupp manufacturer to guide us. Our people learned how to operate this This thing is a headache. It is as complex as a new recruit learning advanced gunnery. Most of the things inside are completely unfamiliar. This thing is completely different from any artillery we have come into contact with in the past. She is like. It’s like a brand new weapon.”

"Fortunately, we have been working on it for so long since we captured it. I heard that our people have learned everything they need to learn, and now they can operate it alone without the help of the German prisoners. Plus you can ask for this." "Early in the morning, Comrade Marshal can have relatively ample time to prepare and coordinate early. I don't think it is unusual to arrive at the front line and prepare to start deployment now."

"It's 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 will be in bad luck now, and even any known battleship guns will be in front of this thing. Like ants."
