Gorowski was the kind of person who drank alcohol quickly and recovered from hangover quickly. After resting until three o'clock in the afternoon, he chose a small office and held a private meeting here.
The only person present at the meeting was Yang Mingzhi. They were in the same room, and there wasn't even a secretary.
Looking at this formation, it looks a bit like a secret meeting, at least that's what Yang Mingzhi thinks.
Grishenko drove his wife back first, and stayed here alone, facing the current governor with his legs crossed.
The governor held a pipe in his mouth, smoked for a while, and then immediately started talking.
"General, hey, don't be nervous. Now I just want to have a good chat with you in the name of a friend."
"Oh? Friend. Comrade Governor, you know, I am very willing to be your friend."
"Okay, let's talk about reality." Gorowski put the empty pipe on the wooden table next to him and said a little eagerly: "Your new gun underwent detailed testing a few days ago.
I have read a lot of reports. I can confirm that what you developed is indeed a good gun. Comrade Umov speaks highly of it, and my attitude is the same."
"Thank you. I have received a lot of praise for the new gun, but I still feel that there are some flaws that need to be improved."
"Are you too modest, or do you still need some necessary questioning?"
Yang Mingzhi did not speak rashly, and his silent behavior seemed to be acquiescence.
Gorowski nodded: "Well, I am indeed very optimistic about your new gun, but I am actually more optimistic about the rocket launcher you developed. Napoleon once said that artillery is the king of war. Rocket launchers are also classified as a type of artillery.
In my opinion, rocket launchers are the most useful in war.
Your rocket launcher can fly forty kilometers, and its explosive power is at least equivalent to a hundred kilograms of aerial bombs. The battleship's main gun may be able to fly forty kilometers, but in terms of power, your rocket launcher is even better.
I think you should be able to understand what a forty-kilometer range will bring!"
"Yes, I understand, it is a huge strategic advantage!" Yang Mingzhi's answer was relatively calm, but Gorowski's crossed legs were shaking unconsciously.
"Yes! It's a huge strategic advantage. Fortunately, Liguschkov focuses on rocket launcher production, so you now have time to research other weapons."
"Oh? It seems... it seems that you are not optimistic about my assault rifle's... well, it seems that you are not optimistic about its potential?"
"No, that's not what I meant. However, it is an individual weapon after all. I think you are a wise person and should devote more energy to the development of weapons of mass destruction. You should know that the German army and their
The total strength of the servant troops has exceeded 10 million. You and I cannot expect them to surrender voluntarily. We must annihilate them on a large scale to achieve victory."
At first, Yang Mingzhi thought that this small meeting would end in a harmonious and happy atmosphere. Unexpectedly, Gorowski suddenly transformed into an officer.
This person's words were very clear, and they also showed that Golovs basically believed in "big artillery doctrine". There are many such people in the current Soviet Union.
Of course, Yang Mingzhi has no intention of refuting. Just like the current Chinese army facing the Japanese army whose equipment is only "World War I level", it still faces a huge equipment gap. The Chinese army is suffering from insufficient firepower, so after the founding of New China
, the Soviet Union provided a way to build powerful firepower through large-scale use of rocket launchers.
After fifty years of development, China has given rocket launchers a new definition. It is a large number of heavy rocket launchers with a range of more than 200 kilometers. However, this rocket launcher is also equipped with a guidance function, so that its accuracy reaches the level of missiles.
In the 21st century, the definitions of missiles and rocket launchers have become increasingly blurred.
But in the final analysis, the beginning of China's rocket launcher technology started with imitating the Soviet Katyusha. The Katyusha is a weapon with a simple design, low cost, and poor accuracy.
Yang Mingzhi, who has the foresight and foresight, can certainly provide future "teachers" with some super-time and space technologies. The Catfish rocket launcher has better accuracy, which is essentially an improvement on the aerodynamics of the projectile. As for the ultra-long range of the Feiyu rocket launcher, it is also aimed at existing
Improvement of linear thinking in the technology "adding more rice to water".
Currently, the focus of research is suddenly adjusted to rocket launchers?
No! This is very unrealistic. The advancement of linear thinking has ended here. The Feiyu rocket launcher has reached its own research and development limit. If you want to have a longer range, you must solve the engine problem. Regarding this matter, Yang Mingzhi has exhausted his talents.
Yang Mingzhi did not want to tell Gorowski about his difficulties here, and it was also unnecessary.
"Comrade Governor, I think the range of forty kilometers is enough for now. If the Red Army needs to be equipped with a weapon of mass destruction, I think the assault rifle I developed has greater potential in this regard. Maybe you will
I find it very strange, just for killing enemies, an assault rifle will be more efficient."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
"Yes. Because there are certain limitations in the use of rocket launchers, the Er assault rifle itself is an individual weapon, and its scope of application is wider. At present, our army has been using rocket launchers intensively to cover an area with firepower. If it is on a wild battlefield
, if we focus on attacking the enemy's city, of course our army can use rocket launchers unscrupulously, even if it hits the soil and lifts it up to ten meters.
But apart from these two battlefields, in other battlefields, the performance of rocket launchers will be greatly reduced.
You see, in the ongoing Battle of Stalingrad, my assault rifle must have this huge tactical advantage in street fighting.
We will definitely invade Germany in the future. Compared with the situation in the Soviet Union, German cities are denser, and fierce urban battles may become the main battlefield of the war. Since it is an enemy city, we can of course launch a large-scale artillery bombardment first, but there will definitely be
A large number of enemies are hiding in the basement, and the infantry still has to fight with the enemies in the streets.
By then, assault rifles will definitely be better than submachine guns. What a pity. Mine fought guerrilla warfare in Belarus for a year. These research and development plans should have been implemented long ago. If assault rifles could be equipped on a large scale earlier, Stalingrad
The battle situation will be much better.
Thousands of young warriors sacrificed their lives needlessly because they lacked suitable weapons for street fighting and lacked tactical advantages. As far as I know, many of them are from Siberia, and even come from citizen families in Novosibirsk."
The topic came up with street fighting, but it was a pity that Gorovsky had no experience in street fighting. The main battles he participated in during the Soviet-Russian Civil War took place in the wilderness. It was difficult for him to think straightforwardly about the cruelty of street fighting.
Belekov's last words touched him greatly. In August and now September, a large number of letters arrived in Novosibirsk Oblast. They were none other than death certificates of soldiers.
Gorovsky calmed down. Although he would go to the newly born Omsk Oblast to serve, he would also be responsible for recruiting troops there. No matter how many people were recruited, the newly formed troops would first belong to the Siberian Military District.
There are certain differences between my own opinions and those of Belekov, but they both have the same goal of reducing the number of deaths.
In any case, Gorovsky knew that he had no right to interfere with Berekov's weapons research and development.
"Oh, dear general, I just heard yesterday that you are developing another light machine gun?"
"Yes, it is true. It is also an improvement on my assault rifle."
"Oh, you are so great. Among all generals, you are unique. Are you a scientist or a strategist?"
"You are so flattering."
Obviously, the general has to go a long way in developing firearms. Gorovsky knew that one of Stalin's major expectations for the general was to continue to develop rocket launchers with a larger range. However, Stalin did not agree on the documents he sent.
It is written very clearly that Moscow has no objection to Belekov developing any new weapons other than rocket launchers.
Since the leader means this, if he tries to criticize Belekov again, it will be fine if others don't accept it.
An assault rifle that combines a rifle and a submachine gun, and a mysterious light machine gun. If they really perform well, the leader will be satisfied.
Because Stalin himself has always supported automatic weapons, but it is a pity that he must temporarily succumb to reality.
The scene was a bit awkward, and Gorowski didn't know what to say for a while. After much thought, he finally came up with a topic.
"Ah, Comrade General. Your wife is also a hero of the Soviet Union. I have also seen some information about her service in the army, as well as some other information."
Yang Mingzhi shrugged, "It seems I shouldn't have sent her back so early. Her Russian is not bad. You can chat with her directly."
"No! All husbands know their wives very well, and I am indeed very interested in her. She is only eighteen years old, and has already won honors that many soldiers will never get in their lifetime. You know, the current army is in great need of heroes, both men and women.
The army has announced the enemy kill rankings, are you aware of this?"
"Ranking list?" Yang Mingzhi scratched his stubble-covered face, feeling a little funny for a moment.
Did the Soviet Union really create a kill list? This is a real and pure war, not a video game!
Thinking about it more carefully, it seems that the Soviet Union came up with a "sniper shooting ranking list" very early. At that time, they were crazily promoting Pavlyuchenko.
If there really is a public kill ranking list, it does have huge positive significance.
Yang Mingzhi pretended to understand and nodded: "I have heard about it a little bit. In my opinion, it is very meaningful, because a hero is by no means unique, there are thousands of imitators behind a hero."
"Haha, you are right. Perhaps you should be able to guess that the person currently ranked first is Speroskina trained by you! Regardless of the statistics of male or female soldiers, Speroskina
Her record is number one, but now she doesn’t have to go to the front line anymore, and her record is fixed at 403.”
Speroskina, a very kind name! Yang Mingzhi closed his eyes for a moment, and the figure of the little blond girl was vaguely visible in his mind.
"Comrade Governor, do you have any news about her current condition?"
"No, but I'm sure that heroines like her are protected. Let's talk about this ranking. Among all the heroines, Speroskina is first and Pavlyuchenko is second.
.And your Belekova, she ranked ninth with 74 enemies killed.
This ranking is constantly changing, because the cold-gun combat in Stalingrad is becoming normalized, and a group of active male and female sharpshooters in the vast theater are setting new records.
I have received some special information. Recently, there was a man named Zaitsev who began to rise to prominence in Stalingrad. On September 21st alone, this young man from the Ural Mountains wiped out twenty German soldiers.
.I heard from the commander of the military region that you seem to know this young man?"
"You..." For a moment, Yang Mingzhi suddenly felt upset. He secretly cursed himself for why he mentioned this name in the military camp.
Things are even more strange. Zaitsev, who belongs to his own plane, was drafted into the army and sent to the battlefield early. The only thing that remains unchanged is that a master is a master. In the rubble of Stalingrad, it was thought that fighting madmen were rising.
After calming down, Yang Mingzhi pretended to be surprised and said: "That Zaitsev? He is a worker. Didn't he just join the army recently? Why did he suddenly arrive on the battlefield?"
"Oh? It seems we are not talking about the same person."
"That should be the case. As a soldier, I still wish Zaitsev of Stalingrad to become a hero of the army."
Gorowski didn't say anything more, he was really thoughtful. According to the information, the general's wife is only eighteen years old now, and she was still young when she won all the achievements. However, looking at her swollen belly, it is really necessary to
As a joke, millions of people died in the so-called cruel war, and the general and his wife could not wait to take action to save the shrinking population of the Soviet Union.
These words cannot be said straightforwardly. Gorovsky’s in-depth exchange with Yang Mingzhi gave him great feelings. There is only one reason. He is also a Chinese. This Belekov and he have met before.
Those are completely different. How to describe it? It is like a contemporary Soviet citizen facing the serfs of the Tsarist Russia era a hundred years ago.
"General Berekov, let's talk about something else. You and your wife are both recipients of the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, and both of your home countries are China. When I was young, I met many Chinese people, and now in Novosibirsk
I have seen elderly citizens when I was young. You are completely different from those Chinese people. I feel strong confidence in you. It's so strange. The Chinese people I once met were like a herd of sheep.
Most of them came to the Soviet Union to do business, and later we deported them. Oh, sorry, my words may have been a bit harsh. The Soviet Union had reasons to deport foreigners who were staying illegally."
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle, and Yang Mingzhi's open mouth became very embarrassed.
Maybe this Gorowski didn't mean it. He should be full of goodwill toward himself, but his attitude towards other Chinese people is probably just average.
"Ah, Comrade Berekov, China and the Soviet Union are allies now. I think China still has a group of elites, and you are such an elite. I believe that your home country will gradually become rich and powerful. But we have to admit that,
China is indeed very weak now."
Today's China is extremely weak and impoverished. This is a basic fact. Discriminating against poor people is simply a common human disease. When it is magnified to the national level, it is very normal for strong countries to discriminate against weak countries. In this regard, Germany under the rule of Mustache has already
into extremes.
Yang Mingzhi pretended to smile for a while, with a hint of sternness in his smile: "Indeed, China is very weak now. But I heard that a few decades ago, Tsarist Russia had no people. There were only 130,000 nobles and nearly a million people in the country.
Hundreds of millions of serfs. Those serfs are weak lambs. As far as I know, there was a Cossack named Pugachev who led his troops to resist the tsar. What a coincidence, I discovered that the person who promoted me was also named Pugachev."
"Haha, I know about that. That's an interesting coincidence!"
The atmosphere became a little more lively, and Yang Mingzhi continued: "Later, Comrade Ulyanov appeared, and he led the serfs of Tsarist Russia to build a brand new country. Under the governance of Comrade Stalin, the Soviet Union quickly became a powerful industrial country.
.I think the future of China will be like this. You will see in your lifetime that China in ten years will be like the Soviet Union in 1920 because of the end of a hundred years of war. Although people at that time
Life is still poor, but the people are no longer lambs, but sleeping lions. China will quickly become a modern country. By that time, I think Comrade Stalin will be very willing to form an alliance with his Chinese comrades, because we are
Strive for the same goal.”
Confidence! Excessive self-confidence! Everything Berekov said seemed to be a prediction of the future. But the prediction was somewhat unrealistic.
Gorovsky felt that Berekov was overly optimistic.
This kind of person with great talent and always self-confidence is indeed very rare in the Soviet army. Alas, it is a pity that he is not Russian.
On the surface, Gorowski agreed with Yang Mingzhi's outlook, but in his heart he felt regretful.
He became a Soviet citizen and kept talking about Belarus as his second hometown. However, just like the Cossacks could not forget the freedom in the steppes, Belekov could not abandon his homeland.
