Chapter 675: Hold the pulse of the Chinese army
"This is the decision that is most in the national interests of the USSR!"
Marshal Sokolov's voice was flat and easy-going, and so was the amiable smile on his face, and the tone with a thick Ural accent echoed for a long time in the ornate No. 2 office, not a beautiful melody, but a poisonous arrow that pierced the heart;
The other senior Soviet generals present were a little surprised, but not surprised, because in their hearts, the Soviet No. 2 person standing in the center was just a rubber stamp with a false name, you know, as early as the end of Brezhnev's life, the Soviet departments developed a tradition of doing their own thing;
Especially in the army, in terms of some major decisions, the Soviet Minister of Defense and the Chief of the General Staff met to draft a plan, which can basically be a certainty, after all, these plans are just in the frail and ill and unclear mind of the political ~~governance~~ bureau nursing home to read and go through the motions, the real decision-making power is still in the hands of the heads of various departments;
Andropov seemed determined to change all this, but his life was too short, and in less than a year he followed in the footsteps of Brezhnev and rushed to the hospital before the inauguration of the newly appointed Chernenko, a situation that gradually became a customary habit over the course of a long time.
Since it is a habit, it is best not to change, or even inconvenient forever, so many senior generals chose to be silent, or even coldly watched, and their mocking eyes were swept back and forth at Ge~Er~Ba~Qiao~Fu, as if it was an X-ray machine, which could illuminate the humility and cowardice in the heart of Ge~Er~Ba~Qiao~Fu
In the face of Marshal Sokolov's indifferent response, the fierceness in Go~Er~Ba~Joo~Fu's eyes suddenly became a little worse, and there was no expression on his fair face, but it was like a cold Siberian snowfield, condensed with a layer of frost that would never thaw, it looked more and more pale, and it became more and more cold, and then smiled coldly:
Could it be that an all-out confrontation with China is the highest interest of our great ancestors~~~ country? Or is it your ultimate goal to fight a nuclear ~~~ war with them?"
"This"
Marshal Sokolov opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word, because Go~Er~Ba~Choi~v pointed out the embarrassment faced by the Soviet Union at the moment, which was also the last thing Marshal Sokolov wanted to see, according to his original plan, it was only to raise the combat readiness level of the Soviet troops stationed in Vietnam, and put pressure on the transitional committee just established by the pro-China faction and the Lord-peace faction in Vietnam, so as to achieve the purpose of influencing or changing the political situation in Vietnam;
But I never thought that this move was misjudged by China, and then provoked a strong reaction, and even did not hesitate to use ballistic missile test launches and ground ~~~~nuclear ~~!~~ tests to show determination, when the situation became more and more severe, Marshal Sokolov was a little difficult to ride the tiger, but as a firm hardliner, it was impossible to make him bow his head, so he ordered the Far East campaign group to start large-scale military exercises, its deterrent meaning is self-evident, but also made the Sino-Soviet situation more and more tense
"Even if there is a full-scale confrontation, it is not a big deal, our nuclear ~~~ missiles are dozens of times more than theirs, and the state of technology is more than fifteen years ahead, once the war starts, I can guarantee that all China's nuclear ~~~ facilities and strategic missile bases will be destroyed within fifteen minutes, as for the conventional forces"
The tough Soviet army will never bow its head because of threats, if anyone dares to provoke, then the response must be a more ferocious fist, this is the universal value that the fighting nation believes in, Marshal Sokolov, as the supreme existence in the Soviet army, the outstanding elite of the fighting nation, naturally adheres to this value engraved in his bones, so he can't bow his head, so he has to face it toughly, so he becomes crazy:
"I admit that China has developed rapidly in terms of weapons and equipment in recent years, whether it is a new type of squad weapon, or a high-performance artillery, or an improved air defense system, but it is eye-catching, but, hehe"
As he spoke, Marshal Sokolov couldn't help laughing, his seemingly kind expression was suddenly replaced by irrepressible contempt and ridicule, his broad shoulders subconsciously shrugged, and the corners of his mouth also completed a graceful arc downward, making an extremely strange look:
"So what? All of this is on the ground, and the real war is far beyond the ground, in the air, At sea or even in distant space, but these China do not have it, the Chinese Air Force composed of J-6 is a balloon that blows up, and it will burst when it is stabbed, as for their navy, it is not worth mentioning, losing the cover of air and sea power, even if their ground power is strong, it must be a fish and meat to be slaughtered, and they still want to confront us with such strength, I can only say that I admire the courage of those Chinese colleagues ~~~ Zhi!"
The courage of admiring China's ~~~ Zhi was said by Marshal Sokolov loudly and meaningfully, but everyone present could hear Marshal Sokolov's tone of admiration, which was clearly mockery and ridicule, and the senior Soviet generals present not only did not object, but even confused and indifferent, but nodded or sneered in approval;
Marshal Sokolov is right: In recent years, China's weaponry has indeed developed rapidly, whether it is in the primeval jungles of northern Vietnam or in the plateau and mountainous areas of Afghanistan, whether it is in the icy waters of the South Atlantic, or in the vast deserts of Iran and Iraq, China's new weaponry will always give people an unparalleled shock.
In particular, in the contest with Soviet-style weapons and equipment, they will always be overwhelmed, and even will gain an overwhelming advantage, just like the just-concluded battle between China and Vietnam, whether it is the advanced "Yenisei" passive electronic reconnaissance system or the latest "Tornado" 300-mm rocket launcher, they have all been defeated by China's equipment of the same type and ended in a disastrous defeat.
In the face of such a result, the senior generals of the Soviet Union were shocked and unbelievable, they did not expect China to make such rapid progress in the field of military equipment, but shock does not mean fear, and disbelief does not mean retreat, because as the world's most capable and efficient military organization, the Soviet army has already been on the pulse of the Chinese army;
That is, the development of China's weapons and equipment is too deformed, yes, in recent years, many new weapons and equipment have sprung up, appearing in the equipment sequence of the Chinese army, which has made the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army unprecedentedly improved, but it is not difficult to find that most of these weapons and equipment are concentrated in guns, ammunition, and the improvement and upgrading of the original missiles, in short, they are basically weapons and equipment developed around the roadbed platform;
In terms of air supremacy, which is crucial in modern warfare, China's related weapons and equipment have developed extremely slowly, or even stagnant, although according to reliable intelligence, China has also determined several advanced fighter development plans, but it has not been effective, and as for the naval strength, it is not worth mentioning, and the newly started construction of the "Luda" class destroyer still uses the technology of the World War II period, although it is a new ship, but it is far behind the times!
How can such a top-heavy weaponry system withstand the all-round attack of the Soviet army on land, sea, air, and space, without blind spots, and with a large density? You must know that in the air, the MiG-29 and Su-27 are not at all the old Jian-6 and Jian-7 that can look up, not to mention the "troika" composed of the Tu-22M3, Tu-95, and the latest Tu-160, and China's defense line will be shattered with just a few waves of air raids;
As for the navy, the battle of the Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Union alone is more than ten times that of the entire Chinese Navy, when the 10,000-ton missile cruisers, nuclear ~~~ power cruisers, and powerful missile destroyers can approach the coast of China, and the powerful underwater nuclear ~~~ power submarines can completely block the entire Chinese coast.
Because of this, although the senior generals of the Soviet Union were surprised by the development of China's weapons and equipment, they did not feel that there was any essential change in this, China is still the China that only relies on a moment of courage to support, it is still a backward China, and small changes cannot affect the general direction of the essence in any way, this is the most essential judgment of the Soviet army, and it is also the reason why they are fearless, because they have pinpointed the pulse of China and confirmed the deformity of the development of China's weapons and equipment.
There is really nothing to be afraid of, even if it is not a military Go~Er~Ba~Qiao~Fu, because he believes in the judgment of these generals, after all, they are all heroes on the battlefield who have fought a lifetime, and both their vision and judgment are vicious to the extreme; The husband's heart was very angry at this time:
"I don't care if your judgment is accurate or not, but you must stop me immediately, stop unconditionally, this is the meaning of Chernenko with ~~~ Zhi, and it is also my meaning, and it is also the meaning of the political ~~~ governance ~~~ Bureau, so, my dear marshal with ~~~ Zhi, you still obediently implement it, otherwise"
Go~Er~Ba~Joe~Fu paused, the fierce color in his eyes became colder and colder, and the meaningful smile for no reason made the white face that seemed to be covered with thick ice even more mysterious, and then Go~Er~Ba~Joe~ Fu looked Marshal Sokolov up and down again, and said word by word in an elegant and gentle tone:
"If you don't want to learn from Gorshkov to retire when you are in the prime of life, then you will obediently implement it!"
Marshal Sokolov couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately looked left and right, and indeed did not find the figure of Marshal Gorshkov of the Soviet Navy, and suddenly a cold sweat soaked the back of his clothes, and at this moment he realized that he could hold the pulse of the Chinese army, but no matter what, he could not allow the pulse of Go~Er~Ba~Qiao~Fu (to be continued. )
