Chapter 629: The Upright Kurochkin

Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

Major General Kurochkin, who passed away a few years ago, the former commander of the Warsaw Pact Joint Forces Command, the nephew of Marshal Gretchko, Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union, during Grechko's tenure as Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union, and Ustinov, who was in charge of the development of the Soviet military industry at that time, were called the most ~~high~~leader~~~ Brezhnev's left and right arms, and the three of them had a very close personal relationship, and because of this, Konstantinovich and Kurochkin, who entered the Soviet military primary school by relying on their father's shadow, had become very good friends at that time.

Therefore, Konstantinovich knows him very well this young man who grew up with him, although Kurochkin has been promoted all the way and has the care of his uncle Marshal Gretchko, but Kurochkin himself is not a useless mediocre talent, especially in the field of homeland air defense operations, and has extremely unique views.

Especially after the third Middle East war, after the air defense systems of Egypt and Syria were completely destroyed by the fierce offensive of the Israeli air force, Kurochkin, as a member of the military advisory group, went to these two countries to rebuild the territorial air defense system for the Arab countries.

In less than a year, Kurochikin, with his outstanding talent and efficient organizational and working methods, helped Egypt and Syria rebuild the collapsed prevention and control system, and under his command and coordination, he carried out extremely powerful strikes against the invading Israeli Air Force reconnaissance planes and fighters. As a result, the Israeli Air Force, which has always been unscrupulous in the Middle East, has no choice but to rein in its edge and draw a fighter cordon on the Egyptian-Israeli and Syrian-Israeli borders. Fighters were strictly ordered not to approach, that near-death line of air defense!

Even though the relations between the Soviet Union and Egypt tended to break down due to the coming to power of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, and the military advisory group and expert group in Egypt were forced to withdraw to the country, the air defense combat system led by Kurochkin still achieved shocking results in the fourth Middle East war.

Less than a week after the start of the war, the Israeli Air Force was defeated. Nearly half of the combat planes were shot down, and Israeli Prime Minister Madame Meir had no choice but to ask for help from then-US President Richard Nixon. Subsequently, the United States launched the largest voluntary air transport operation since the Berlin airlift -- Operation "Five Cents".

But even so, it still can't make up for the almost crazy losses of the Israeli Air Force, in order to keep the important strategic fulcrum of the United States in the Middle East. The United States eventually even flew the active combat aircraft of the European Air Wing directly to Israel. After landing, he just changed the logo of the aircraft to something other than Israel, and he didn't even have time to change the paint before he took to the air to fight, so he barely kept Israel's life.

On the other hand, it was a great victory for the Soviet-style air defense combat system constructed by Kurochkin, and the "Sam's Death Arc" and the "Sam Corridor" were not only the lingering horror shadows of the Israeli Air Force pilots at that time, but also the powerful advertising slogans of the Soviet-style equipment that sounded the world. It has become the proudest honor and praise of Kurochkin!

Later, with this achievement, Kurochkin was posted to the Soviet cluster in East Germany. As the chief of staff of the group's air defense forces, during his tenure he was upright and upright, and he was extremely contemptuous and repulsive of the flies and dogs within the Soviet army, coupled with his own extremely short temper.

Therefore, although he achieved very impressive results in the position of chief of staff of the air defense forces in the East German cluster, it is a pity that because of his character, he offended almost everyone who should be offended, and the death of Marshal Grechko, a huge backer who always shielded him from the wind and rain, made him besieged by his colleagues.

As a result, Kurochkin was assigned to the desolate Central Asian Military District, where he worked for seven years with the rank of major general, during which Marshal Ogarkov, who advocated the new military reform, did not think of reactivating Kurochkin, but at the meeting to inspect the Central Asian Military District, Kurochkin bluntly pointed out many irrationalities in the new military reform, especially the sentence:

"If from an individual point of view, I support this reform; if it is from a collective point of view, I am sorry, my dear marshal is with ~~ Zhi, I can only oppose it!"

Completely held the power at that time, so that even Marshal Ustinov had to temporarily avoid the edge of Marshal Ogarkov to his opposite, after that, Kurochkin could only continue to herd sheep in the steppes of Kazakhstan, until Marshal Ustinov completely overthrew Marshal Ogarkov and regained power, and finally remembered the nephew left by his old comrade-in-arms.

Kurochkin was transferred back to the Moscow Territorial Defense Forces Command from the pastures of Central Asia, but this time it was reused, not because of his past brilliant achievements and outstanding military qualities, but mainly because when Marshal Ogarkov was at his best, Kurochkin's daring to confront him in front of him scratched the itch of Marshal Ustinov, plus he was Grechko's nephew, so being transferred back to Moscow to entrust him with a heavy responsibility was just a reward for the struggle within the army.

Of course, the upright Kurochkin did not like this kind of political struggle to rise to power, so after learning that Konstantinovich was about to be appointed to Iraq as the head of the military advisory group, he took the initiative to find this childhood friend, hoping to go to Iraq and prove his worth as a professional soldier on the real battlefield.

Although Konstantinovich is mediocre and a little greedy, he is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person, not to mention that he also knows that Kurochkin himself is also a talented person, so without saying a word, he immediately transferred this good friend to his command, thinking that relying on Kurochkin's talent, he can provide him with great help in Iraq.

But he never thought that Kurochkin, whom Konstantinovich had high hopes for, became his biggest stumbling block in Iraq, not only following the strategic idea of Ivashutin's defense in the later period, but also like the stubborn old guy, he sneered at the welcome within the Soviet army, greedy ~~dirty~~~bribes~,

And so it goes. Let Konstantinovic be said to be the first two big, you must know that he came to Iraq to serve as the head of this military advisory group, in addition to accumulating achievements. Just to get more benefits, if he still follows the old routine of Iva Shutin, then he will not be able to eat enough to get rid of that old guy so hard.

But if you want him to oppose Kurochikin, there is no way, first, Kurochkin is his childhood friend, and sometimes he can't erase his feelings, and secondly, second. And the most important reason, that is, with his mediocre skills, he can't find the fault of Kurochkin. Because Kurochkin, whether it is a tactical arrangement or a strategic arrangement, there is nothing wrong with it.

Faced with this situation, Konstantinovich naturally could not sit still. Since I can't come forward to fight. Then he found some helpers, so he transferred Major General Ivanov, who had just been removed from the East German cluster, and Major General Ivanov was indeed a person who was very good at figuring out the thoughts of his superiors.

Not only did he present a brand-new German sedan and Japanese electrical appliances within a week of joining the company, but in less than half a month, the tone of the advisory group was completely changed to an aggressive offensive posture, although Kurochkin objected more than once.

But in front of Major General Ivanov's flexible wrists and excellent popularity. Kurochkin's opposition was so small that it could be ignored. Let Konstantinovich not offend his childhood friend, and it is very logical to weaken Kurochkin's authority in the Military Assistance Corps, and finally only hand over the Iraqi territorial air defense forces to his leadership, which can be regarded as Konstantinovich's last bit of kindness to remember the old feelings.

However, what Konstantinovich did not expect was that the air offensive war planned by Major General Ivanov was so anticlimactic that now the losses were so heavy that even returning had become a problem Otherwise, if the Iraqi Air Force attack group really wants to be buried in the Iranian desert, not to mention what will happen to the Iraqi military and political side, at least in the distant Moscow will not spare him

"My dear friend, Ivanov there has been"

"Don't worry, Lieutenant General Tong~~ Zhi, I have ordered two fighter regiments to go to pick up!"

In the microphone, Major General Kurochikin's voice was still stiff like a metal collision, and Lieutenant General Konstantinovich's scalp was a little numb when he heard the other party's voice clearly, but after he heard the other party's voice clearly, he could hardly believe his ears, and the persuasive words and contrived emotions that had been brewing for a long time all turned into surprised bounces, and he got up from his seat with a "poof~~" and asked in disbelief:

"What you said is true?"

"Am I the kind of person who tells lies?"

"No! no!" Lieutenant General Konstantinovich hurriedly responded with a smile: "Thank you so much, my friend, you not only saved the Iraqi Air Force, but also saved our comrades~~ Zhi, seriously, when I return to Moscow, I will definitely apply for a medal to the Ministry of Defense for you"

"It's not a matter of talking about medals yet, Comrade Zhong~~ General, I remember that I repeatedly reminded you before this that the Iranians are planning a big conspiracy, so I suggest that you immediately withdraw the missiles deployed on the Iran-Iraq border ~~Dao~~guide~~, otherwise"

"My dear friend, now the focus is on the Air Force, not on the missile forces!" Before Kurochkin could finish speaking, Lieutenant General Konstantinovich, who had long been disgusted by his mechanical preaching, immediately interrupted him, and then couldn't wait to end the conversation:

"Anyway, you're our big hero this time, okay, that's it, the Iraqi side is still waiting for me to have a meeting, so be it"

After speaking, without waiting for Kurochkin to speak again, Lieutenant General Konstantinovich hung up the phone with satisfaction, and then left the communication room with a happy smile, but on the other end of the phone, Kurochkin held the blind voice of the telephone receiver, stood for a long time, a pair of knife-carved eyebrows slowly twisted into a big pimple at the center of the eyebrows
