At a time when the Soviet Union was in turmoil due to the conflict between China and the Soviet Union in the South China Sea, the Soviet military base in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, thousands of miles away, was unusually calm.

Vladimir Butin stood on the roof of the house near the dock of the military port, dressed in a neat summer uniform of the Soviet Navy, staring at the rows of mighty and majestic warships in the harbor, as well as the officers and soldiers shuttling back and forth, his cold eyes flashed with a touch of warmth, but more complex than that, it was difficult to hide...........

"I don't know if it's right or wrong to do that!"

I don't know how long it took, when a gust of sea breeze mixed with a fishy smell blew violently, Butin's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, and the faint voice passed along the sea breeze and poured into the ears of his best friend Rogozin, who shook his head with a wry smile, and then said meaningfully:

"Right or wrong, you're still standing here!"

Listening to Rogozin's words, Bujing's face was also filled with a wry smile, yes, he was standing here, not only that, because he unreservedly informed Ye ~~Li~~ Qin of the loss of the fleet and its causes and consequences, so that the latter took the opportunity to take advantage of Go~Er~Ba~Qiao~Fu's stupid behavior to expand his power, Bujing Yanran became Ye~~Li~~Qin's most relied on confidant, not only did he suffer losses due to the conflict,

On the contrary, he was directly promoted to the deputy mayor of Leningrad by Ye ~~Li~~ Qin, it can be said that Bujing followed the Sino-Soviet conflict in the South China Sea can be described as a step to the sky, directly from the military to the political arena, becoming one of the few big winners in the conflict, but for some reason he was never happy as a winner:

"People are there, but the country is gone..........."

There is some helplessness in Butin's words, but more of an endless sadness, which many people may not understand, but Bujing is very clear that if the problems of the Soviet Union in the past are just small cracks in fine porcelain, although they affect the beauty, they still maintain the whole.

However, now, not only the previous cracks have not been repaired, but also gradually spread and expanded, and what is even more terrifying is that there are countless heavy hammers hitting the fragile porcelain, under the broken bones, the whole porcelain is already hopeless, and the catalyst that led to the current scene of the Soviet porcelain is the Sino-Soviet conflict in the South China Sea that has just ended!

As a colleague and friend for many years, Colonel Rogozin is well aware of Butin's concern about the current situation in the Soviet Union, and he is not so, as a former KGB agent, the current Soviet army officer, strong patriotism fills his heavy chest, even if he is dissatisfied with some leaders, it does not mean that he can accept the collapse of a powerful country, so he shook his head sadly and said in a deep voice:

"Maybe it's really as you said before, the U.S. plan is really appalling, the 'Pearl of Peace' is beautiful to say, but it is more powerful than the most terrifying nuclear ~~ bomb, alas........"

Rogozin did not finish his words, but a long sigh was a thousand words, and Butin was the same, in fact, he knew about this plan of the United States a few years ago, but even so, he still underestimated the ambitions of the Americans, because he could not have imagined that Ye ~~Li~~ Chin with the support of the United States did not want to replace Go~~Er~~Ba~~Joe~~, but was ready to completely dismember this powerful country:

"Looks like we should do something!"

Bu Jing slowly raised his head, looking at the endless blue sky, his slightly narrowed gaze shrank again, and then suddenly it became round, and a touch of resolute fierceness burst out in an instant, and his tone became more firm:

"Something must be done.........."

............

"We have to do something, we can't just turn a blind eye like that!"

In the policy conference room of the Pentagon, the seat of the US Department of Defense, located in Arlington, Virginia, southwest of Washington, the US capital, the voice of General Colin Powell, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, roared angrily; in the center of the conference room, on a large screen that flashed brightly, the wreckage of the RC-135 strategic reconnaissance plane was prominently displayed, and in the upper right corner of the screen, the heads of Weinberg, Statham, and other victims were hung on it, which was particularly abrupt:

"We can't let our children die in vain, not only for the precious lives of American citizens, but also for the honor of the American military and the United States!"

Powell's voice kept echoing in the conference room, and the meaning he wanted to express was self-evident, that is, to use force to carry out a powerful blow to the party responsible for the crash of the RC-135 strategic reconnaissance plane, even the Soviet Union did not hesitate to do so.

The chiefs of staff of the various branches of the US military who attended the meeting were somewhat noncommittal about General Powell's proposal, but no one dared to stand up and express their opposition for no other reason, but because Admiral Powell's prestige among the current US military is really terrifyingly high, and since Reagan proposed the new containment doctrine, General Powell, who has a strong conservative tendency, is his staunchest supporter.

It is precisely because of this that he was appreciated and promoted by Reagan, and Powell also lived up to expectations, and made great achievements for President Reagan in a few years:

In 1983, when he was the commander of the US Third Army, he commanded the US military to invade Grenada, and used his original special operations and rapid maneuver tactics to quickly and completely occupy this somewhat alienated US satellite country in less than 48 hours.

In 1986, Powell, who had become the commander of the U.S. European Command and the commander of NATO's allies, commanded the "Golden Canyon" operation of the air raid on Libya.

The two partial battles not only allowed the US military to completely shake off the haze of the Vietnam War and regain confidence, but also brought Colin Powell's prestige to the peak, and the US media praised him without hesitation, and even compared him with Eisenhower and MacArthur, the meritorious generals of the US military during World War II.

It is precisely because of this that when President Reagan nominated him for the new chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in February this year, neither the people, the media, nor Congress had the slightest opposition, and it was almost a miracle in the history of the post.

Admiral Powell glanced at everyone in the venue, and the four stars on his shoulders shimmered with dazzling essence under the illumination of the lights, just like his fiery gaze at the moment, which was enough to burn all the enemies:

"I have made a detailed operational plan to carry out a surgical strike on the Soviet military base in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, and completely pull out the largest Soviet military base in the open sea, of course, I can't let go of China's indirect responsibility, and send the 'Constellation' aircraft carrier battle group of the Seventh Fleet to the South China Sea to carry out patrols, expel Chinese military ships, and maintain freedom of ...........navigation in the South ~~~ sea area."

Powell's voice was gloomy and cold, as if every phrase was a piece of bloody raw meat, and countless lives were about to be destroyed between swallowing, such a crazy and bold bloodthirsty action, even the generals of the various branches of the US military who experienced the cruelty of the Vietnam War were a little secretly speechless,

Powell is clearly going to war with China and the Soviet Union at the same time, once the war starts, it is tantamount to the third world war, as for its tragedy, it may not be called the last, but it is absolutely unprecedented, you must know that both the Soviet Union and China are nuclear ~~ countries, if they really go crazy and retaliate, who dares to guarantee that the United States mainland will be attacked?

"Uh....... General Powell, although we cannot just let the perpetrators go unpunished, is it too risky to start a war like this, knowing that it will be retaliated against by the Soviet Union and China!"

Finally, an Air Force general couldn't help it, withdrew his gaze from the screen, and wrinkled his brows to express his concerns, but just as his words fell, Admiral Powell waved his hand indifferently:

"Retaliation?What do you think they will use to retaliate?Nuclear~~weapons?haha~~~ Don't be kidding, who do you think they can use nuclear~~ weapons, and who would dare to use nuclear~~ weapons, the USSR or China?"

Powell looked at the Air Force general diagonally opposite, and then a thick finger poked at the battle plan in front of him, making a "knock~~" sound, and his tone became more unceremonious:

"General, please take a closer look at the contents of the plan, before expressing your opinion, the CIA's intelligence above clearly states that the Soviet Union is in chaos, division seems to be a foregone conclusion, and everyone only recognizes the US dollar in their eyes, who still has the heart to care about the life or death of Cam Ranh Bay at this juncture? If this is really the case, why do you think China will withdraw its troops on its own after severely damaging the Soviet 'Minsk' aircraft carrier? A patient is a patient, no matter how big it is, he is still a patient!"

"How can there be China, their determination in the South China Sea this time, as well as the combat effectiveness they have shown, should not be underestimated!"

Another general reminded, but the sneer on Powell's face became more intense and gradually became sarcastic, and said unabashedly:

"The last thing to fear is China!" (To be continued.) )
