Chapter 995 Kind Father No. 7

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

Malachenko grabbed a design sketch beside him halfway through his words. The thick barrel and the huge muzzle brake were clearly visible on this hand-drawn sketch. Malachenko, with the eyes of a time traveler, determined that what he held in his hands was the future of the Red Army's tank forces.

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

"Its production is large enough and the technology is mature. It is not as troublesome for the Army's field gun to complete the vehicle improvement as the Navy's naval gun. In terms of ballistic performance, muzzle velocity, and armor penetration depth, it may be worse than the 100mm gun, but the coordinated operations of large-scale tank groups can maximize its advantages. The important thing is that this plan is completely feasible in the short term. "

Malachenko was so excited when he said this, as if he could already see the majestic figure of the IS2 heavy tank. The 122mm can easily knock down the Germans with a shake. What a touching and beautiful scene!

But what Malachenko didn't know was that at this moment, Kotin was also happy and excited. His thoughts coincided with Malachenko's and they were happy and excited to urinate in the same pot.

"You are right, Comrade Malachenko, that's the fact!"

Before Kotin, with his eyes shining, had time to speak, a person who seemed very close to him took the lead and stood up from his chair. The extremely excited and cheering expression really scared Comrade Ma who was unprepared.

"Comrade Kokotin, who is this? "

Malachenko didn't recognize the guy in front of him who looked so ordinary that he couldn't recognize him in the crowd of embarrassments. He couldn't find any memory of this face in his memories of traveling back to his previous life.

The slightly embarrassed Kotin was stunned by Malachenko's question, and then turned his head to look at his right-hand man beside him. Then he hurriedly stood up from the chair with a smile and took the initiative to introduce him to Malachenko.

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

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

"He is in charge of the firepower upgrade plan for IS heavy tanks. I have been busy with other work in the factory almost every day recently. Comrade Shashmurin led the entire team to complete the plan discussion and sketch drawing. His opinion was also to use the 122mm field gun as the firepower upgrade plan, so he was suddenly so excited just now. This is a kind of recognition.

""

After listening to Kotin's brief introduction, Malashenko was no longer too surprised, but focused his attention on the man named Shashmurin.

Malashenko had never seen Shashmurin's photo, or he had seen him during his study abroad, but later forgot because he didn't have a deep impression.

But only the special name Shashmurin, Malashenko has kept it in his heart until today.

In the existing historical trend, Shashmurin, as the number one genius tank designer under Kotin, was reused and presided over the design of many heavy tanks of the Red Army. It can be said that almost all the heavy tank design plans completed in the name of Kotin have the figure and participation of this master.

And the actual masterpiece of Comrade Shashmurin is even more famous in history.

Most of the design plans and details of the famous IS7 heavy tank were actually completed by him and his team. Later, he also participated in the IS8 heavy tank, which was a downgraded version of the IS7. Even until the IS8 was modified from T10 to the final version T10M, Shashmurin played an important role in the whole process.

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

Now, Malashenko, who met Shashmurin for the first time, is sure that he has found the right person this time!

Not only must he instill the correct truth from the future into Comrade Kotin, but Comrade Shashmurin must not be let go!

As a future time traveler, Malashenko knows very well that the strength of the IS7 heavy tank is not in a single weapon or vehicle-mounted equipment, but in its strong design concept and integration capabilities.

The main gun of the IS7 is an imported product of the Red Navy's 130mm naval gun. The engine was removed from the Red Navy's small boat and put into the car. The armor part does not have fashionable composite armor, but is completed with pure homogeneous steel armor.

That is why the more powerful a heavy tank like the IS7 is, the more it actually proves the ability of the designer who presided over the project.

The same three elements of firepower, mobility and protection are all ready-made, but the seventy-ton thing that the Germans have come up with is nothing more than a piece of crap like the King Tiger.

But look at the awesome Comrade Shashmurin, who can combine a bunch of ready-made things with his advanced design concepts into an extremely terrifying seventy-ton steel Godzilla!

The IS7 heavy tank is different from any other heavy tank of the same era. It is a super heavy tank that has achieved a near-perfect balance and is extremely powerful in terms of firepower, mobility, and protection.

Apart from other things, it can make a heavy tank with the technical level of the late World War II, which only uses simple homogeneous steel armor as protection, achieve a defense effect against kinetic energy bullets that is almost the same as the Soviet Red Army's famous T64A main battle tank.

The clever weighted deployment design of homogeneous steel armor has achieved a defense level almost the same as that of composite armor. This kind of awesome thing cannot be done by just anyone.

Malashenko is not sure whether he can use his influence to make Shashmurin, the number one genius designer under Kotin, complete the research and development of the IS7 heavy tank in advance. If possible, this must be the ultimate weapon against Germany in his hands.

Even if the Germans bring out the mobile bunker of the Rat, it will be beaten to a pulp by the IS7, the Iron Godzilla. There is no second or third possibility. "How can you lose when the dragon hits you in the face?" is what he meant.

But while he was excited, he also had to consider the current reality.

No matter how powerful the IS7 heavy tank is, it must be a situation that can only be considered a year or even longer in the future.

The current priority is to upgrade the IS1 heavy tank, which has just obtained the license for mass production, as soon as possible, so that it can appear on the battlefield with a brand new posture of the IS2 heavy tank. For this reason, he must finalize the final plan with Kotin and the equally awesome comrade Shashmurin as soon as possible.
