Chapter 995 Loving Father No. 7

"Comrade Kejing, I have thought about it carefully just now, and I think what you said makes sense. The navy's 100mm naval gun is indeed not suitable for us in the short term.

Malashenko, who was mid-sentence, immediately grabbed a design sketch beside him. The thick barrel and the huge muzzle brake were clearly visible on this hand-drawn sketch. Malashenko used the appearance of a time traveler. His vision determined that what he held in his hands was the future of the Red Army's tank force.

"Since the Navy's 100-meter gun is not good, our Army's own A-19 field gun should be very suitable!"

"Its output is large enough and the technology is mature. It is not as troublesome to complete the on-board improvement of the army field gun as it is for the naval gun. In terms of ballistic performance, muzzle velocity, and armor penetration depth, it may be worse than the 100 gun, but The coordinated operation of a large-scale tank group can maximize its advantages. The important thing is that this solution is completely achievable in the short term.”

Malashenko said this on a whim, as if he could already see the majestic figure of the IS2 heavy tank. The 122** could easily knock down the German tigers and leopards with one shake. How touching this scene must be. Beautiful scene!

But what Malashenko didn't know was that at this moment, Kogin was also happy and excited. He coincided with Malashenko's idea and was happy and excited to be able to pee in a pot.

"You are right, Comrade Malashenko, that is the fact!"

Before Ke Jin, whose eyes were shining brightly, had time to say anything, a person who seemed very close to him sitting next to him stood up from his chair with a sudden sound. The extremely excited and cheering expression really startled the unprepared Comrade Ma.

"Comrade Kokotin, who is this?"

Malashenko didn't recognize the guy in front of him with a face so ordinary that he couldn't recognize it, and he couldn't find any memory about this face in the time-travel memories he brought from his previous life.

The slightly embarrassed Kogin was stunned by Malashenko's question, then turned to look at his right-hand man next to him, then quickly stood up from the chair with a smile and introduced Malashenko proactively.

"I didn't take care of it before, Comrade Malashenko, I'll make it up now."

"This is my most capable assistant, the core designer and engineer of the Second Special Design Bureau: Comrade Nikolai Fedorovich Shashmulin."

"He is presiding over the firepower upgrade program for IS heavy tanks. Recently, I have been going to the factory almost every day to do other work. Comrade Shashmulin is leading the entire team to complete program discussions and sketching. He My opinion is also to use 122mm field guns as a firepower upgrade plan, so I was suddenly so excited just now. This is a kind of recognition.

""

After listening to Kogin's brief introduction, Malashenko was not too surprised, but completely focused his attention on this person named Shashmulin.

Malashenko had never seen Shashmulin's photo, or he had seen it while studying abroad, but later forgot about it because he was not impressed.

But it is only the special name Shashmulin that Malashenko has kept in mind until today.

In the existing historical trend, Shashmulin, as the number one talented tank designer under Kotin, has been reused and presided over the design plans of multiple Red Army heavy tanks. It can be said that almost all heavy tank design plans completed in the name of Kotin In all of them, this master figure is present and involved.

And Comrade Shashmulin's actual masterpiece is even more famous in history.

Most of the design plans and details of the famous IS7 heavy tank were actually completed by his team under his leadership. In the future, the IS8 heavy tank, which was a downgraded version of the IS7, also had his participation. Even until the later IS8 was changed from T10 to the final version of T10M, Shashmulin played a role that cannot be ignored in the entire process.

Malashenko always felt that he only noticed Kotin, the father of the Red Army's heavy tanks, and seemed to have forgotten the existence of another very important figure.

Well now, Malashenko, who met Shashmulin for the first time, is convinced that he has found the right person this time!

Not only do I want to instill in Comrade Kotin the correct truth from the future, but I also must not let go of Comrade Shashmulin!

As a future traveler, Malashenko knows very clearly that the power of the IS7 heavy tank does not lie in individual weapons and equipment or vehicle-mounted equipment, but in its strong design concept and integration capabilities.

The main gun of the IS7 is an imported product of a Red Navy 130mm naval gun. The engine is a ready-made product that was removed from a Red Navy boat and put into the car. The armor part does not have fashionable composite armor added, but Finished with pure homogeneous steel armor.

Because of this, the more powerful a heavy tank like the IS7 is, the more it actually proves the ability of the designer who is in charge of this project.

They are also ready-made three-element firepower and mobile protection equipment. The seventy-ton gadget made by the Germans is as shabby as the Tiger King.

But look at the awesome Comrade Shashmulin, he can take a bunch of ready-made things and use his own advanced design concepts to integrate them into an extremely terrifying seventy-ton steel Godzilla!

The IS7 heavy tank is different from any heavy tank of the same era. It is a super heavy tank that has achieved an almost perfect balance and is extremely powerful in terms of the three major elements of firepower, mobility, and protection.

Not to mention anything else, it is possible for a heavy tank with advanced technology at the end of World War II to use pure homogeneous steel armor as protection to achieve almost the same defensive effect against kinetic energy bombs as the famous T64A main battle tank of the Soviet Red Army. .

Using an ingenious weighted defense design of homogeneous steel armor, it has achieved almost the same defense level as composite armor. This kind of awesome thing cannot be done by just pulling it out by an individual.

Malashenko is not sure whether he can use his own influence to get Shashmulin, Kotin's top genius designer, to complete the research and development of the IS7 heavy tank ahead of schedule. If he can, this will definitely be the ultimate counterattack against Germany in his hands. Stick Noble Phantasm.

Even if the Germans bring out the mobile bunker called Mouse, in front of IS7, the Iron Godzilla, he will still be killed by a hammer. There is no second or third possibility. "How can I lose on the face of a flying dragon?" That's the situation.

But while I am excited, I must also consider the current reality.

No matter how strong the IS7 heavy tank is, it must be something that can only be considered in the next year or even longer.

The top priority right now is to complete the upgrade of the IS1 heavy tank that has just received the mass production license as soon as possible, so that it can appear on the battlefield with a new appearance as an IS2 heavy tank. To do this, he must work with Kogin and the equally awesome Sha Comrade Shmulin, finalize the final plan as soon as possible.
