Chapter 204 Measures


    "May I know your name, Comrade Lieutenant?" Shulka stopped what he was doing and raised his head to ask.


    "Of course!" The lieutenant replied: "My name is Kshnikov, Comrade Second Lieutenant, how about you?"


    Kshnikov, this guy is really Kshnikov, the guy who designed the AK47!


    Shulka almost jumped up with excitement.


    Shulka guessed it, the tank driver, usually likes to study and tinker with some gadgets... It seems not surprising that such a soldier will be recruited into the 4th Tank Brigade, he can drive tanks and repair tanks, the 4th Tank Brigade Soldiers like this are needed.


    "Second Lieutenant, Comrade Second Lieutenant..." Kshnikov''s cry woke up Shulka who was in a daze: "What''s your name?"


    "My name is Shulka, Lieutenant!" Shulka hurriedly replied: "It''s an honor to meet you, Comrade Lieutenant!"


    "Are you Shulka?" Kshnikov bent down and looked at the muddy Shulka in surprise, and asked, "The ''breakout hero'' they called you?"


    "Yes, Comrade Lieutenant!"


    Then Kshnikov jumped down from the turret, held Shulka''s hand tightly, and said: "Sorry, Comrade Shulka, I didn''t recognize you. Although I saw you in the newspaper, but ..."


    "I know, Comrade Lieutenant!" Shulka spread his hands, showing the mud all over his body, and said, "If you don''t go back to the tank, I won''t recognize you soon either!"


    Then the twoughed at the same time.


    The behavior of the two quickly made the instructor on the side dissatisfied, and he shouted loudly into the mud: "Go back to your post, I believe you can chat more happily on the battlefield!"


    These words are considered polite. This may be due to the influence of Shulka''s reputation, otherwise he would have scolded him long ago!


    Shulka and Kshnikov knew that they were wrong, so they hurriedly shook hands again and returned to their posts ording to the order.


    The training time is very tight, and there is almost no time for rest.


    Kshnikov found him while he was eating lunch. He was holding buckwheat paste in one hand and ck bread in the other... The food in Stalingrad at this time was still good. After all, this is thergest tractor factory in the country. The soldiers ate food ording to the same standard as the workers in the factory: pea or millet or buckwheat paste, two slices of bread, mashed potatoes, and ten grams of butter.


    Shulka made room for Kshnikov while nibbling on the bread, and Kshnikov sat down next to him.


    "Comrade Shulka!" Kshnikov muttered while trying to chew his food, "Do you know what impressed me the most?"


    "What?"


    "Minesweeper tank!" Kshnikov said. "You actually used stone mills to clear mines. What a stroke of genius... How did youe up with this? It''s amazing!"


    Shulka should have guessed it a long time ago. Kshnikov, who likes to tinker with these things, will of course only be moved by this kind of invention.


    "Unfortunately, it is no longer useful!" Shulka said: "It has been raining until now, and it is difficult for the tank to move forward on the road, let alone push a heavy and big roller in front!"


    "Yes!" Kshnikov nodded: "But this does not affect that it is a very good invention, especially it also won a battle in Kyiv..."


    "Comrade Lieutenant, Comrade Company Commander!" At this moment, the actor sitting next to him interjected with a bitter face: "Why don''t you discuss inventing something to use on it?"


    As he spoke, the actor raised his head towards T34 in the mud pile.


    "That''s right!" The veteran said, "Otherwise, we''ll just spit out all the foodter!"


    Kshnikovughed: "That''s mud,rades, the best way is to build a road with good drainage and good road conditions!"


    Shuerka also responded angrily: "Why don''t you think of a way..."


    Shuerka was stunned before he finished speaking, and then cursed to himself: "Why did I forget it, the training for a few days is for nothing!"


    "What?" Kshnikov and the soldiers looked at Shulka curiously.


    The actor who was still wolfing down stopped his movements and asked, "Comradepanymander, is there a solution?"


    The cautious look seemed to be afraid that Shulka would be scared away by speaking louder.


    "Yes, there is a way!" Shulka put the lunch box on the ground, got up and stepped on the mud and walked to T34. After looking at it, he said to the soldiers who followed: "But I need some tools!"


    "What tools do you need?" Kshnikov replied: "I can solve it, I have been working here for half a year, and I can borrow it from Comrade Sisoy!"


    Kshnikov said that he worked for half a year, and he came here to guide the production of the device for recording the number of bullets fired by tank machine guns and the fuel consumption meter for tanks he invented.


    That is to say, he has certain contacts in the field of military scientific research in this tractor factory.


    Shulka thinks he is much better than Sisoy.


    Perhaps Sisoy has more professional knowledge than Kshnikov, such as tank suspensions, engines and other high-tech gadgets... For these scientists like Sisoy, they are definitely professional.


    The problem is that Sissoi does not have enough understanding of the needs of the battlefield.


    This is actually amon problem among scientists from all over the world, even in modern times.


    Kshnikov is different. He is a soldier, a tank soldier, and he likes to invent designs since he was a child. For example, he disassembled the rm clock and made his own small toys. Gas is what the army really needs, such as two things that have been put into production, and he will design a tank track in the future.


    From this point of view, Shulka thinks it would be a waste to send this kind of person on the battlefield, in case something happens on the battlefield...


    These are all things to sayter, but the tool Shulka requested at this time is actually very simple.


    "First of all, I need a log with a hard texture and arge diameter...300MM, and a length of 3 meters 3!"


    "Leave this to me, Comrade Company Commander!" The thief immediately added, "There are a lot of logs like this behind the workshop!"


    Said, called the actors and left.


    Then Shulka turned his gaze to Kshnikov and said: "I also need two wire rope sets, one end can be put on the log, and the other end can be caught in the tooth hole of the track, you know what I mean? "


    Kshnikov quickly understood what Shulka meant. He stared at Shulka with wide-eyed eyes, and said a little excitedly, "You mean, stuck the log under the track?"


    "Yes!" Shulka nodded.


    It''s easy to talk to Kshnikov. If it''s Sisoy... I''m afraid I can''t exin it for a long time.
