Chapter 257

When I was in a daze holding AK47, Vlasov asked bizikov curiously: "Comrade Colonel, why does this engineer Comrade say that Rita is his life-saving benefactor?"

I was in a daze when I heard Vlasov's question. I couldn't help but feel excited and stare nervously at bzikov to hear his answer. But I soon found that I was worried about nothing. The identity of Florin seemed to be a top secret. Bzikov took a look at me and said lightly: "the last time Rita went to the city for treatment, she encountered an air raid on the road. By chance, she saved the engineer's life."

As for some perfunctory explanation of bezikov, Vlasov seemed to see something wrong. He just let out a sound and didn't continue to ask. Instead, he took the assault rifle from my hand, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then asked florin, "senior engineer Tongzhi, what are the characteristics of this kind of assault rifle?"

Florin stepped forward, took the rifle from Vlasov's hand, put it on the table, and began to give us a detailed introduction: "this kind of rifle is my newly developed assault rifle, with a length of 870 mm and a weight of 4.3 kg. It uses 7.62 mm bullets, that is, the moxinnagan rifle bullets currently used by our army are fed by an arc magazine with a capacity of 30 bullets. The safety / fast / slow handle is on the right side of the casing, and the semi-automatic or full-automatic launching mode can be selected. The pull handle is on the right side of the casing. Compared with the rifles equipped in other countries, this kind of rifle has a short body and a short range, which is suitable for close combat. "

Mr. Lin picked up his rifle and looked at it. Without saying anything, he put it back on the table. Vlasov said with some disapproval: "this kind of rifle is equivalent to a new submachine gun."

"At the same distance, assault rifles and submachine guns are not only more accurate, but also more lethal than assault rifles," he said

Vlasov said, turning to Mr. Lin, "what do you think, comrade deputy commander Lin?"

With a slight smile, President Lin said, "without investigation, there will be no right to speak. It's no use just talking on paper here. We need to know that practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Only after our own practice can we know the performance of this kind of gun. "

"Well, let's go out and find a place to try the power of this weapon." Said Vlasov, picking up the rifle on the table again, and asking for bzikov's advice: "Comrade Colonel, come with us?"

Bezikov nodded in agreement and asked florin, "Comrade senior engineer, are you with us?"

The old man waved his hand, sat down and said, "I won't go. I'm a little tired. I want to have a rest here. " At this point, he looked up at me and said, "female commander, I don't know if I have the honor to ask you to stay and have a chat with me?"

I laughed awkwardly, and immediately felt that neither staying nor going. Fortunately, Vlasov helped me out: "Rita, since senior engineer comrades feel tired and want to sit down and have a rest in the headquarters, you can stay with him."

"Yes Since the commander said so, I naturally stayed.

When all the people left, I poured a cup of black coffee for the old man, pushed a plate of biscuits in front of him, and warmly welcomed him: "senior engineer Comrade, please try the biscuits baked by the cooks in our army."

Instead of speaking, Florin looked around and then asked in a low voice, "Rita, how is vaskov? Or should we say that there is a warrant officer? "

When I first heard vaskov's name, I didn't remember who Florin was talking about. But when I heard what he said about the brigadier, I immediately understood who he was talking about, and I was scared out in a cold sweat. Regardless of his words, I rushed to the door, opened the door and looked out with some guilty heart.

Sitting outside on duty was a lieutenant. Seeing me standing at the door, the officer quickly stood up to salute me and asked, "chief of staff, do you have any instructions?"

I looked at the empty corridor and was relieved. Then I asked him carefully, "commander, have they all gone out?"

The lieutenant on duty looked at me in surprise and replied, "yes, commander Vlasov, deputy commander Lin, interpreter, Captain Yushchenko, and the new Colonel left together." After a pause, he asked me carefully, "chief of staff, what can I do for you? Do you need me to call them

I waved my hand and said, "no, I'm just asking. You go on duty. " After that, regardless of the blank faced lieutenant, he slammed the door.

After closing the door, looking back, Florin was enjoying his coffee. I went to him and sat down. Looking at the old man in front of me, I asked in a low voice, "Comrade engineer, don't you have amnesia? How could you suddenly ask brigadier vaskov? "

With a proud smile on his face, the old man also replied to me in a low voice: "when I was in the subway station, didn't you warn me that it was Stalin's time. If I want to live safely, I have to change my way of thinking and regard myself as a person who has been living in this age. To live a long life, you have to learn to act stupid. "

I approached him and asked, "Comrade engineer, what's going on? You have confused me. "“ It's easy! " "After hearing what you said, I've been thinking about how to pretend to be confused without the suspicion of the authorities," Florin explained to me. Just on the way to meet the air raid, I was injured and admitted to the hospital, so I had an idea to pretend amnesia. I didn't expect that I cheated all the people. " Seeing the proud expression of the old engineer, the stone hanging in my heart fell to the ground, and then I turned my words to the point. I asked him curiously, "I didn't expect you to make assault rifles so soon. But I have a question. Can we produce so many rifles in such a short time? Is it because we have built another gun production line? " After asking this question, I immediately denied my guess, "no, no, even if I have to go on the production line, one month is not enough. What's the matter?" The old engineer looked at me like an alien monster and said, "Rita, it seems you are really a layman. Don't you know that these assault rifles are all hand-made by the workers of the Izhevsk machine factory? "“ But can workers produce qualified products just by spelling out the drawings you provided? " With a sigh and a look of defeat, Florin explained, "do you remember the technicians in the subway station? You know, many of them were originally workers in the arms factory. Not to mention the construction according to the drawings, even without the drawings, these skilled workers can still assemble the assault rifles with suitable parts. "“ But didn't all the workers die in the German air raid after they left the subway station? " The old engineer waved his hand and said, "it's impossible. Except for the same car Engineer sherekin who was killed in the air raid, the rest of the technical workers are alive and well. They are working in a workshop specially provided for them in the yizhevsk machine factory. These AK47 assault rifles are produced by them working overtime."“ AK47, the original name of this assault rifle is AK47. " I pretended to be suddenly enlightened and agreed. Then I deliberately understated: "the number 47 should be the year of the army. If this assault rifle has been equipped with our army since 1942, should it be renamed ak42?" When he heard me say this, he was stunned for a long time before he said thoughtfully, "you're right. Although this gun is the AK47 of later generations, it has been released so many years in advance that it can only be called ak42. "
