Zhukov waited for Fronin to express his stance, greeted us to sit down on the chairs around the table, and then said to me with a serious expression: "Lida, what you hear next will be top secret. You want Promise me that you must not disclose it, otherwise you will know what the consequences will be."

Hearing Zhukov's words, I quickly stood up and expressed my position: "Comrade Marshal, please rest assured, I will never reveal what I hear next to anyone." After saying this, I couldn't help but fight. Encouragingly, my heart asked me if I should find a reason to leave, otherwise, if I know too many things that I shouldn't know, I will be in danger of being wiped out at any time.

"It's best for you to understand this. I believe you can keep your promise." Zhukov listened to me, nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and pressed it down, and commanded: "Sit down."

After Zhukov waited for me to sit down, he asked Ustinov who was sitting across from him: "Comrade Ustinov, there are no outsiders here. Oshanina also knows the origins of Engineer Fronin. You can tell me about it. Will the new equipment of the troops be installed soon?"

"No problem, Comrade Deputy Commander." Ustinov replied very readily: "But since Engineer Fronin is in charge of this matter, it is more appropriate for him to explain to you."

"Marshal Zhukov," Fronin stood up from his position, took the pile of materials handed to him by Ustinov, bowed slightly to Zhukov, and said respectfully: "Please allow me to You report on the new equipment currently developed. In this year or so, we have produced 50 T-54 and T-55 tanks, six T-72 tanks, and 100 pt-76 water tanks. Cars. Two hundred zsu-57-2 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns..."

"Wait a minute, Comrade Engineer." Zhukov heard halfway and interrupted Fronin's words and asked in a puzzled manner: "From the tank model you mentioned. The T-72 tank should be the best. But why are only six cars produced?"

"That's it, Comrade Deputy Commander." Seeing Fronin's embarrassed expression, Ustinov hurriedly came out to explain: "With our existing technology, we can't produce enough T-72 necessary. Special steel."

"It turned out to be like this." Zhukov said softly, with a regretful expression on his face involuntarily. after awhile. He looked up at Fronin, waved his hand at the opponent, and said, "Comrade Engineer, please tell me about the characteristics of these new tanks."

When Zhukov asked about his profession, Fronin opened his mouth: "The T-54 tank evolved from the T-44 tank. The first prototype was made in 1946." It may be that Zhukov's face was seen. At a loss, he also deliberately added: "The T-44 tank is a medium-sized tank that appeared in 1944. It not only inherited the advantages of the T-34, but also created a new era of tanks in our country."

When Zhukov heard Fronin say this, he simply "Oh", nodded faintly, and instructed him: "Comrade Engineer, please go on."

"The initial design of the t-54 began in October 1944. It was carried out by the Okb-520 Design Bureau. The prototype design was completed in December of that year, and the prototype was also manufactured by the 183rd Stalin Ural Tank Factory in February 1945. The prototype was tested and passed between March and April 1945, and was designated by the military as Type T-54. The body structure and power unit of this prototype are the same as the T-44. The difference is that the armor is thicker, respectively. Yes: Front armor: upper part, lower part 90mm, side 90-, top 30mm, turret base diameter increased to. And has a newly designed cockpit and observation window. "Fronin did not look at the information in his hand, but for each This data is still at hand: "...Although t-54 still has many problems and defects. It was officially announced to enter service on April 29, 1946, and mass production began in 1947."

"Comrade Engineer. I want to ask you a question." When Zhukov heard this, he couldn't help interrupting Fronin again. Seeing his attention focused on himself, he went on to ask: " How did the t-54 tank perform in the battle against the German tanks?"

After Fronin, who introduced the information, was interrupted, the expression on his face was very serious. When he heard Zhukov’s question, his face couldn’t help but smile: "Comrade Marshal, you are worrying too much. Our t-54 is fundamental. There was no chance to compete with the Germans because they were defeated by us in 1945."

"We defeated fascist Germany in 45 years?!" Zhukov looked at Ustinov who was sitting next to him with some doubts. The latter nodded with a smile, and said affirmatively: "Yes, Comrade Deputy Commander. Although Engineer Froning’s amnesia was very serious and he could not remember the specific battles, he told me more than once with certainty that we completely defeated Germany in May of 45 years."

After listening to Ustinov’s words, Zhukov turned his head to look at Fronin, and asked carefully: "Comrade Engineer, if I don’t understand wrongly, our T-54 tank, which is about to be put into actual combat, is in real history. I have never competed with German tanks. Am I right?"

"Exactly correct, Comrade Marshal." Fronin gave Zhukov an affirmative answer.

"Do you absolutely use these tanks to deal with the German Tiger tanks?" Zhukov asked cautiously: "You must know that in the previous battle, we had a large number of T-34 tanks that were destroyed by the German Tigers. Even the 45mm anti-tank gun can't help them."

"Relax, Comrade Marshal." For Zhukov's concerns, Fronin immediately gave him a reassurance, "Once our T-54 tank is put into actual combat, the battle loss ratio should be around 1:8."

Obviously Zhukov heard this data for the first time. He grew his mouth in surprise, and then asked gaffefully: "The battle loss ratio is 1:8. Isn't that an exaggeration?!"

"Comrade Deputy Commander," Ustinov said again: "This is just a conservative estimate. After all, we are about to equip troops. It is a new tank that transcends this era. I think such a battle damage ratio is credible. ."

"Yes, Comrade Marshal." Fronin added without losing the opportunity: "If our t-72 is put into actual combat, the battle damage ratio can even be increased to 1:20 or higher..."

Rao Zhukov is highly knowledgeable, but after listening to Ustinov and Fronin's words. He turned his head and looked at me with a wry smile and said, "Lida, if I didn’t know that Engineer Fronin came from the future, and Comrade Ustinov was also a person who never lied, I must have thought that what I heard was Fantastic Nights."

"Comrade Marshal, I am the same as you. I feel that what I have heard is completely incredible." Although I am not surprised that a military expert like Fronin can launch such a new weapon, but in their In front of the three of them, I still tried to put on a surprised expression: "If these tanks are really put on the battlefield. Then even if the German tanks are superior in number, they still can't escape the ultimate fate of being defeated by us."

Zhukov nodded in agreement with what I said, and then asked Fronin: "What about the amphibious tanks and the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns?"

"The pt-76 light amphibious tank is a light amphibious armored vehicle developed by China after World War II. It can completely replace light tanks or cruise tanks such as t-26 and bt...." Florin continued to talk. "According to the statistics of the Soviet armed forces, during the Great Patriotic War, about 68% of enemy aircraft were shot down by 25 to 37 mm small-caliber antiaircraft artillery. Therefore, the Ministry of Weapons and Equipment proposed to develop a 37 mm self-propelled aircraft. Anti-aircraft gun. In 1945, based on the Su-76m self-propelled artillery hull, the zsu-37 37mm self-propelled antiaircraft gun was developed. It simply installed the l/63m1939 37mm antiaircraft gun on the armored fighting vehicle....and The zsu-57-2 self-propelled artillery, which was finalized and produced in 1955, is based on the t-54 main battle tank. An open thin armored rotating turret is installed. The car body consists of an armored chassis, turret, twin artillery, engine powertrain, and aiming System, communication and fire-fighting equipment composition..."

Although Zhukov and Ustinov listened with gusto, I, who had a little knowledge of weapons, fell asleep. I secretly pinched my leg with my hand, lest I fell asleep because what Fronin said was too boring, and at the same time I had to pretend to be fascinating.

Fronin spoke for an hour or two. Only barely came to an end. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and was looking for an opportunity to ask when Zhukov could leave. Zhukov turned his head and asked me: "Lida, let me ask you. If you want to allocate these tanks to the Central Front, which army do you plan to give?"

I was always worried about how to help Chernyakhovsky propose to Zhukov to supplement the tank and artillery. Hearing this, I couldn't help feeling ecstatic. But on the surface, I had to pretend to be nonchalant, pretending to think for a long time, and then slowly replied: "Comrade Marshal, based on my observation and understanding in the Central Front in the past two days, I think this The batch of tanks can be replenished first to General Chernyakhovsky."

After saying this, I glanced at Fronin secretly, saw a smile on his face, and at the same time nodded insignificantly. From Fronin's reaction, I knew that there was nothing wrong with my proposal, so I turned my attention to Zhukov with confidence and boldness.

After Zhukov heard this, he did not immediately express his views, but instead asked with a smile: "Lida, tell me your reasons, why do you assign these new tanks to the 60th Army of Chernyakhovsky?"

"That's it, Comrade Marshal." I finally found an opportunity to speak nicely for Chernyakhovsky, and naturally I wouldn't let it go easily: "According to my observations, General Chernyakhovsky He is a very capable commander. He has a decisive style and rich experience in organizing and commanding large corps operations. He is good at concentrating a large number of troops in the main assault direction to carry out assaults on the enemy. He is especially good at using tank corps to attack the German army Intersperse roundabouts, and divide and encircle. Therefore, I think that assigning new tanks to him can give him the best function."

"You make a lot of sense." After I finished talking about my views, Zhukov said his true thoughts: "General Chernyakhovsky once served as a tank division commander and a tank army commander~www. lightnovelpub.net~ I have my own unique insights on commanding tank operations. I am very relieved to hand these new tanks to him."

Hearing Zhukov's personal promise to allocate the new tank to the 60th Army, the rock hanging in my heart fell to the ground, and I finally lived up to Chernyakhovsky's expectations. After the new tanks entered the defense zone of the group army one after another, even if I didn't say anything, Chernyakhovsky remembered my feelings.

Then, Zhukov and Ustinov formulated a detailed plan for which factory should be arranged to participate in the production of tanks and assault rifles. Because these are all secrets, I didn't look closer, but deliberately kept a certain distance from them.

When everything that should be arranged was arranged, Zhukov stood up and said to me: "Lida, it's getting late, let's go back."

I, who had been waiting for impatiently, heard Zhukov’s words, as if listening to the sound of nature, I quickly stood up and replied loudly: "Yes, I follow your instructions!" (to be continued)
