As if in response to Yang Weiping's speech at the London International Airport, the Soviet Ministry of Defense soon announced that the Soviet Armed Forces would carry out a modern military reform, that all units would be split into new groups, that logistics would be improved, and that the military-civilian joint construction would be advocated to help the garrison assist local governments in strengthening infrastructure construction.

The measure taken by splitting up the new group was to change the "group army" to the "army." In addition, the logistics units of all units invested in infrastructure construction have been transferred to the front army to form a logistics group army and an engineering group army, and a large-scale logistics command has been set up to serve the front-line combat units in a unified manner, so as to strengthen the logistics support capability of the front-line troops.

When Yang Weiping received this news from the Soviet Ministry of Defense on the "Führer-1" plane, his first reaction was that Andropov listened to his proposal and began to "slim down" the Soviet armed forces while satisfying the existing vested interests of the diehards.

Although the Soviet army's army group was one level higher than the army, its strength was only at the army level, and the logistics of the army group was only at the level of a division in the United States. It belongs to Yan zhòng's top-heavy, and if the war really starts, its logistics support will basically be finished in the first three days.

As we all know, modern warfare is fought with logistics. On the surface, the Soviet Union carried out military reforms, and on the surface it appeared that the size of its army had been reduced, but its combat effectiveness had increased a lot compared with before the reform.

And the most important thing is that the Soviet Union's practice of changing from "army group" to "army" can enable the vast majority of Western people to reduce their "psychological fear" of the Soviet Union to a great extent, and see the dawn of peace in Europe.

As far as the die-hard conservatives in the Soviet Union were concerned, the change from a "group army" to an "army," the establishment of a large-scale logistics group army and an engineering group army, and the formation of a large-scale logistics command meant that there would be many more vacancies for "generals, generals, lieutenant generals, and major generals." This allows the military bigwigs to take good care of their respective henchmen, which can be described as a great joy.

It's just that the military strategists of Western countries are extremely depressed about this. Because in their opinion, the Soviet Union did this, and the strength of its front-line combat units deployed in Europe did not decrease but increased. On the surface, the front-line combat units of the Soviet Union have become "army" units, and their size has shrunk by nearly half. However, the surplus logistical group army and the engineering group army obviously made up for the shortcomings of the Soviet combat units in terms of logistical support.

The most enthusiastic response to this was undoubtedly the socialist countries of Eastern Europe. The fact that the big brother of the Soviet Union decided to let the Soviet garrison help their country to vigorously develop infrastructure construction is simply the greatest blessing for the proletarian toiling masses in the world!

All of a sudden, the Soviet Union's reputation in the international community was sharply raised.

Andropov was able to successfully take this step, and Yang Weiping knew that the chances of renewing the life of the Soviet Union against the sky were a few points greater.

The military is supposed to be the largest consumer group, but if the army can also produce productivity, the compound effect can be extremely huge.

When advising Andropov, Yang Weiping built a great disarmament in the Soviet Union. The units that have been laid down can be formed into the railway corps and the road and bridge engineering corps. Concentrate this force on the construction of a permafrost high-grade highway from Moscow to the Far East. In addition, Yang Weiping also built a new way to reduce the wartime mechanism production capacity of the Soviet Union's military industrial enterprises to a quarter, and while retaining the potential for conversion to production, the saved enterprise resources were used to produce construction machinery and field tactical trucks.

To this end, Yang Weiping did not hesitate to take out the Peterbilt 389 heavy truck project to cooperate with the Soviet Union, in order to use the huge military production capacity of the Soviet Union to build a world-class heavy truck manufacturing base in the Far East, and then greatly promote the rapid growth of the Soviet logistics industry.

In the face of the Soviet Union's first move to show goodwill to the people of Europe. The U.S. government has surprisingly chosen to remain silent.

As a result, Yang Weiping had just gotten off the plane at West Berlin International Airport. He was blocked at the airport by media reporters from all over the world.

Yang Weiping did not let the reporters ask questions one by one, but held an instant speech at the airport:

"I am deeply pleased with the decision of the Soviet Union to take the lead in withdrawing half of its troops from Europe. Chairman Andropov is worthy of being the leader of a major country who loves world peace, and he has made the people of Europe and the people of all countries in the world see the true sincerity of the Soviet people in safeguarding world peace!

World War II was over, and Europe had just ended, and the wounds of war had not yet had time to recover. The Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union was ushered in again. The United States claimed that in order to deal with the Soviet invasion of Europe, NATO member countries had formed Army Group North, consisting of the First Army of the Netherlands, the First Army of West Germany, the First Army of Great Britain, and the First Army of Belgium, and Army Group Center composed of the Third Army of West Germany, the Fifth Army of the United States, the Seventh Army of the United States, and the Second Army of West Germany.

To this end, the Soviet Union deployed three tank armies, two combined armies, one aviation army, and 20 motorized infantry and tank divisions on the front line of the NATO Allied Central Cluster to prepare Czechoslovakia and East Germany to resist military pressure from the Western camp.

This kind of long-term military confrontation. It has not only caused a huge hidden danger of war to the peace of Europe and the world, but has also brought heavy economic burden, mental pressure and psychological burden to the people of European countries.

The two world wars have caused severe destruction and disasters to all mankind and to the planet on which we live together, peace is not easy to come by, and the tragedy of the world war cannot be repeated! The people are the decisive force in defeating fascism and the real driving force pushing history forward; countries with different ideologies and social systems can unite on an equal basis to jointly deal with the challenges facing the survival and development of mankind; countries should coexist peacefully with each other, and the destiny of mankind is closely related.

The two world wars were a contest of the comprehensive national strength of the two belligerents. The mobilization of economic power by both sides in order to win the war brought the production of the countries of the world closer together as a result of these two world wars. In particular, after the post-war economy took off again under the impetus of high technology, the process of world economic integration is no longer subject to human will.

While international competition is becoming increasingly fierce, international cooperation has also become a top priority for governments. It was this interdependent international economic relations that formed an important factor in restraining the outbreak of a new world war. This negation of the war itself, which emerged from the most tragic war to date, has developed greatly with the rapid growth of the world economy today, and has historically suppressed the expansion of a series of local wars and conflicts after World War II.

I solemnly implore all governments to conscientiously study the 'Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence' advocated by the Chinese government as the ideological guideline guiding international relations, strengthen international cooperation between countries, seek common ground while reserving differences, and seek common development, which is the fundamental solution to maintaining world peace." I firmly believe that world peace and development are the inevitable trend, and in the new course of economic globalization and political multipolarization, how to effectively avoid war and maintain peace in a lasting way should become an important issue that all mankind is most concerned about and will inevitably solve!

Here, I strongly appeal to all governments and peoples to use their wisdom and talents more rationally, abandon all kinds of extreme concepts, especially the 'Cold War' mentality formed in the past 40 years, and join hands to solve every international problem." Only in this way can we create a new century of common prosperity and lasting peace! Let us jointly cherish the living space of mankind that all mankind shares!"

There is no doubt that Yang Weiping's speech at West Berlin International Airport was greeted with applause from the people of all European countries. "Peace and development" has become the most popular keyword in major media, newspapers, and magazines around the world.

On the second day of Yang Weiping's visit to West Germany, the governments of the Soviet Union, Syria, and Iraq issued a joint statement: In order to maintain world peace and alleviate the hidden danger of war caused by the strategic geographical location occupied by the Suez Canal, the three countries decided to work together to build a grand canal connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Euphrates River in the northwestern Syrian plain to facilitate the transportation of oil from the Persian Gulf by European countries.

As soon as this statement was issued, the eyes of governments around the world fell to the ground. Even Iran and Iraq have temporarily ceased their fires because of this major event that has caused a sensation around the world.

All the politicians, military strategists, and economists in the world have invariably leaned on the world map to seriously analyze the feasibility of the Soviet-led Syria-Iraq Grand Canal and its impact on the world economy.

In particular, after connecting the Syria-Iraq Grand Canal and the Kra Canal with a new route, China, Thailand, Cambodia, Japan, South Korea and other countries in Asia suddenly found that once this new route is opened and put into operation, the ocean transportation from Europe to Asia will be shortened by at least 4,500-6,000 nautical miles.

As a result, Japan and the ROK did not care whether the US bosses agreed or not, and immediately gave a positive response to the Syrian-Iranian Grand Canal plan, and the governments of the two countries strongly requested to join this epoch-making new canal plan.

The Chinese Government also followed suit with a speech to the outside world, claiming that the Syrian-Iranian Grand Canal and the Kra Canal will be a great initiative in human history entering the new century and will be of great significance as an irreplaceable milestone in world economic integration!

The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and other Arab "big tycoons" have sent heavyweight delegations to visit Syria, and their intention to participate in the Syrian-Iranian Grand Canal project is obviously very firm.

The Egyptian government did not jump out against the Syria-Iraq Canal plan as Singapore and Indonesia did when they opposed the Kra Canal plan, but only said that the plan was beautiful, but the reality is cruel, and such a huge project cannot be completed and completed.

The British and French governments responded to the Syrian-Iranian Grand Canal plan almost simultaneously, claiming that both the British and French governments were willing to fulfill their responsibilities and obligations as permanent members of the United Nations in order to maintain peace and stability in the Middle East, and hoped that the governments of the Soviet Union, Syria, and Iraq would form a Syrian-Iranian Canal Joint Stock Company as soon as possible and absorb other shareholders.

Britain and France have made such a statement, where can the US government calm down? (To be continued......)
