Chapter 285 Discussion

The plane landed directly at the Stalingrad Tractor Plant.

A tractor factory of this size certainly has a place to land planes.

As soon as the door was opened, the actor rushed off the plane, and even fell and rolled down when he walked down the boarding ladder due to unsteady footsteps.

This embarrassment made Major Yefimshi and his subordinates couldn't help laughing.

Major Yefimshi said to Shulka: "Your subordinates don't seem as calm as you, Comrade Shulka!"

"Yes!" Shulka replied: "He's just better at killing people!"

Major Yefimshi and the others fell silent in an instant.

Yefimxi and the others may not have malicious intentions, but those of them sitting in the office will not understand that those who have fought together on the front line are bound by life and death. This kind of relationship is even more reliable than blood relationship.

So, to make fun of an actor is to make fun of Shulka, and Shulka will stand by the actor without hesitation.

"Are you all right, Okunev!" said Shulka, "Put your chest up like a soldier!"

"Yes, Comrade Second Lieutenant!" The actor wiped his mouth, and strode forward with his chest straightened out.

However, he was handsome for only three seconds, and before he took a few steps, he heard a "wow", and he took another breath of bitterness when he bent over.

It was Kalashnikov who came to greet Shulka, and he said nervously: "Comrade Shulka, you can't believe how much they value this discussion... Many people have come. But you have to be mentally Prepare…"

"What psychological preparation?" Shulka was a little strange.

"They will basically not let this plan pass!" Kalashnikov replied.

"But you just said that they value this discussion!"

"I think..." Kalashnikov spread his hands and replied helplessly, "They just want to see the 'breakout hero'!"

Shuerka had black lines on his face.

Kalashnikov brought several people into a conference room, which should be a place for gun testing, because before Shulka went upstairs, he saw an indoor shooting range downstairs, and there were a few gunshots from time to time. Come.

The upstairs conference room has very good sound insulation. After closing the door, you can hardly hear the gunfire.

Sure enough, just as Kalashnikov said, the conference room was crowded, and there was warm applause immediately when Shulka and others came in.

Sisoi came forward to shake hands with Shulka and said: "Comrade Shulka, welcome to visit our factory again..."

"Inspection?"

Before Shulka could react, he heard Sisoy say to others: "Comrades, let us warmly welcome Comrade Shulka, the 'breakout hero'!"

Then there was another round of applause.

"We are honored to have Comrade Shulka today!" Sisoy went on to say: "Comrade Shulka bravely faced the Communist invaders on the front line and defeated them time and time again to defend Moscow from its inviolability." The enemy has invaded, and now we ask Comrade Shulka to tell us about his experiences at the front..."

"Comrade Sisoi!" Shulka interrupted Sisoi: "It seems that our topic today is not this!"

"I know, Comrade Shulka!" Sisoy said, "We can wait and talk..."

"No, we should talk now!" Major Yefimshi stood up, and he was doing Shulka a favor.

"Well, Comrade Shulka!" said an old man with a beard standing up. "In that case, let's talk! We don't think half-tracks are realistic... A half-track can How many people can it carry? One shift? It’s only one-third of the car, but the cost and production hours are twice or even more than the car!”

"The cost and man-hours of the T34 tank are more than the car?" Shulka asked.

"Of course!" The old man replied.

"So does that mean we don't need tanks?" Shulka said: "Do we drive cars to fight against enemy armor?"

The old man couldn't help being speechless.

"Our production capacity is limited, Comrade Shulka!" Sisoy said: "If we produce half-track vehicles, we have to reduce the production of cars, and the cars we produce can't even meet the needs of the battlefield!"

The old man continued: "What's more, we also defeated the enemy without half-track armored vehicles, just like Comrade Shulka's fourth tank brigade!"

Everyone in the conference room laughed heartily.

"Yes!" Shulka replied: "But you don't know that when we followed the tank in a car, along the way, people were shot and died because of the lack of protection of the car, or were hit by bullets, or were killed. Shrapnel hit!"

The meeting room quickly fell silent.

"Sitting in the car, we are only separated from the enemy by a layer of canvas!" Shulka continued: "We can't even see the enemy, because our sight is blocked by the canvas, and our back is facing the enemy, and the enemy But they can see us... To be precise, they don't see us, they just need to point their guns at the rear compartment and pull the trigger, it's that simple!"

"Those are all comrades who have been with me through life and death! They have fought many battles, and some of them even fought here with us from the Brest Fortress!"

"I believe that on the battlefield they can flexibly avoid the enemy's muzzle, and they even learned to judge the explosion point based on the sound of the shell, but... in the car they have no choice but to sit there quietly and wait Shrapnel and bullets go through the canvas and knock them down!"

"A total of seven soldiers! On our way to Tver, seven of my men fell under stray bullets! This is even more casualties than our face-to-face combat with the enemy on the battlefield!"

Shulka wasn't lying, but that was mostly because his troops fought in armored trains.

But of course, Shulka would not go into such detail.

"We only need to produce one kind of car!" Shulka finally concluded: "A kind of car with armor protection, only need armor against stray bullets and shrapnel, you can avoid all this!"

The meeting room was silent.

After a while, the old man replied: "We express our regret to the comrades who died on the front line. They are all brave. But..."

"Let's put it this way!" Major Yefimshi replied on his behalf: "Comrade Shulka, what we are in short supply now are tanks, cars, and anti-tank guns, so...we think that the production of this kind of equipment for the purpose of protecting soldiers It's not urgent!"

The old man, Hisoi and others nodded silently.

So Shulka understood that other reasons are actually secondary. The important thing is that the Soviet army believes that they have no shortage of people compared to equipment, or that as a soldier, they should carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of death rather than Always think about protection and safety.
