USSR 1941

As a result, Shulka contacted the R\u0026D department first.

The connection between the combat troops of the Soviet Army and the R\u0026D department was not close, and many people didn't even know where the R\u0026D department was withdrawn at this time.

For example, Golikov needs to go through the Front Army Command or even Zhukov to contact the R\u0026D Department and get the required information. If he wants to get equipment and support, there may be some approval procedures.

But Shulka found Sisoy directly with a phone call... Sisoy left a call to Shulka before, which was originally a back route that Sisoy left for Shulka, that is, in case Stalinger If you can't keep it, you can transfer the 82nd Infantry Regiment away from Stalingrad through Sisoy's relationship.

"Shuerka!" Sisoi on the other end of the phone became nervous when he knew it was Shurka who was calling: "The situation is very bad, isn't it? I'm glad you made this call. Don't worry, I Let them transfer you here immediately!"

Shulka noticed that Sisoi used "you", that is, Shulka was alone.

Shulka thought, this should be because the battle has been going on until now, and Moscow has strictly ordered no one in Stalingrad to withdraw without permission, so Esisoy's ability can only be used to kill Shulka alone. transferred away.

But it doesn't matter.

Shulka replied: "No, Comrade Sisoy! Thank you very much, but that is not why I called, although the situation in Stalingrad is indeed not good!"

"Why is that?" Sisoy asked suspiciously, and then said with some concern: "I hope you can understand that I did not do this for your or personal benefit. You can live for the country, the army, and even this country. Every war is beneficial..."

"I know, Comrade Sisoy!" Shulka said, "But I'm sorry, but this is not the time to talk about this. I want to know, have you fully improved the amphibious landing ship?"

"Amphibious landing ship?" Hisoy was taken aback for a moment, then asked as if remembering something, "You mean the kind of ship used for landing in the Crimea?"

Shulka's heart immediately turned cold when he heard Hisoy's words, and Hisoy seemed to have forgotten about the amphibious landing ship.

"Yes, Comrade Sisoy!" said Shulka, "I want to know about its improvement and production!"

"No problem, Shulka!" Sisoy replied: "I'll send someone to investigate this matter right away, don't you consider what I just said? Comrade Kalashnikov's opinion on this point is the same as I'm unanimously..."

Shulka couldn't help but fainted,

Sisoy still needs to be investigated by someone. Does this mean that the amphibious landing ship is simply missing? !

Shulka glanced at Golikov and Akimovich who were waiting beside him.

They also seemed disappointed.

Golikov even asked Shulka in a low voice: "Ask them how long it will take to improve and produce it now!"

Shulka shook his head and replied: "We need at least a hundred ships, Comrade Golikov. This cannot be produced in a short time!"

You must know that Stalingrad has hundreds of thousands of defenders. Although the amphibious landing ship can be transported back and forth, it is a landing ship with a small capacity after all. If there are not hundreds of ships, it is basically a drop in the bucket.

Golikov couldn't help sighing when he heard the words, and shook his head slightly, which meant that he had to find another way out.

However, after waiting for a while, Hisoi said on the other end of the phone: "Comrade Shulka, I asked clearly, they have completed the improvement and produced more than 200 ships!"

Shulka's eyes lit up immediately: "I heard that right, more than two hundred ships?"

"Yes, there are more than two hundred ships. Is there any problem?" Hisoy replied.

Immediately there was a burst of cheers from the headquarters.

It was only later that Shulka found out that the reason why Sisoy did not know about the project of the amphibious landing ship was that its improvement was too untechnical. It was nothing more than a combination of a car and a boat, and it had already taken shape and only needed to add direction control. system.

The projects in Sisoy's hands are all things like the fin-stabilized sabot-piercing projectile and the intermediate power projectile proposed by Shulka, so of course the amphibious landing ship will not be taken seriously.

"Remember General Vladimir?" Hisoy asked on the other end of the phone.

"Of course!" Shulka replied: "I fought with him in the Crimea!"

"Yes, that's him!" Sissoy replied: "He was very impressed with this kind of amphibious landing ship, and thought it would provide great convenience for the landing operations of the naval infantry brigade. Been following and pushing this project since the battle...I think you need to talk to him, Comrade Shulka! I mean if you need it, because he asked for these amphibious landing ships, he asked for five hundred, And we're not even halfway there!"

"I need to thank him!" Shulka laughed: "No, to be precise, we need to thank him, and Stalingrad needs to thank him!"

"How much do you need?" Hisoey asked.

"all!"

"All?" Hisoy couldn't help but exclaimed: "No, it's impossible! General Vladimir won't agree!"

"No, Comrade Sisoy!" Shulka replied: "He will agree!"

After saying that, Shulka hung up the phone, and then several people in the headquarters screamed strangely and hugged each other happily to congratulate each other.

This was a boon for everyone in Stalingrad, as it meant more bread, bullets, shells, and most importantly, survival.

Of course, Shulka did not need to worry about whether General Vladimir agreed or disagreed.

This is not to say that General Vladimir was soft-spoken.

In fact, being a rear admiral in the navy is enough to show that his status is not low.

Nor was it that Shulka was on friendly terms with him.

Although the friendship between Shulka and General Vladimir is indeed good, there is no friendship to talk about on the battlefield, especially when it involves a large number of equipment for the troops.

The point of the question is Stalingrad.

At this time, the eyes of the entire Soviet Union are focused on two places, one is the Caucasus and the other is Stalingrad.

Stalingrad is particularly conspicuous, not only because of its strategic position but also because of its spiritual significance...Stalin hoped to hold on to this city to win another victory similar to the defense of Moscow.

On this basis, let alone Vladimir, a rear admiral, even if Kuznetsov, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Navy, stopped him, it would not help. Shulka could still easily get these amphibious landing ships.
