Chapter 600: 0 里迢迢 (1/2)
Your own tank is the best!
The tank code-named a-32 has been given the t-32 tank, and it is the famous T-34 tank in the later world, but now, this project is under pressure.
In this era, the Kharkov Design Bureau is not well-known. The one who has become the leader of Soviet tank designers is Kotin of the Kirov Factory.
However, Kotin's design did not conform to the actual situation of the current Soviets. He blindly increased the weight of the tank, but could not solve the bad mechanical problems, and his own tank was the best design!
Mikhail Ilyich Koshkin firmly believes in his design. At the beginning, at his insistence, he abandoned the complex wheel-track tank chassis and developed a full-track medium tank, especially After creatively using the diesel engine, all the indicators of the tank have been perfectly balanced.
This is the tank the Soviet needs! Koshkin was quite sure of this, but he was bitter.
Comrade Stalin didn't know the progress of his tank. Of course, all of this was the ghost of Kotin. Even in Kotin's mouth, his tank had so many failures that there was no possibility of service at all.
A few days ago, when he heard the news from Moscow, Koshkin was quite angry. At the same time, he made a bold choice.
Doesn't it mean that your own tank has frequent mechanical failures and cannot be shaped at all? Then use a practical action to break this rumor!
From the Ural Mountains, drive directly to Moscow, this remote road of thousands of kilometers, to test the performance of your tank! This long journey is the best show!
Koshkin suffocated his anger. He even took the tank personally and was responsible for directing the advancement of the tank. After a few days, they traveled thousands of kilometers, and the tank on his side did not show any mechanical failure. .
In terms of time, just right, when they arrived at Kubinka, it happened that Comrade Stalin was there!
Koshkin was extremely excited. He knew that the time had come to decide the fate of his tank.
”Cough, cough.” Koshkin coughed twice. I don't know why. He always coughed recently. Before setting off, some people were worried about his body, but he insisted on coming.
He is the chief designer of this tank, and he will work hard for the future of this tank!
”Crunch.” The t-32 tank stopped to the side of the kv-1 tank. Compared with the appearance, the t-32 tank was obviously smaller. However, for some reason, Stalin looked at the t-32 in front of him. I feel more cordial, especially the turret, which looks very smooth and nice.
”Comrade Stalin, on behalf of the Kharkiv Locomotive Factory, I have come to offer you a gift. We drove this T-32 tank from Kharkiv. After three days, it traveled 1,200 kilometers. I came to Moscow on time and accepted your review.” Coming off the tank, Koshkin reported loudly to Stalin.
At this time, Stalin and his party had already shifted their interest from KV-1. Stalin looked at Koshkin and said, ”You said, this tank has driven thousands of kilometers in three days?”
