Chapter 719: Far East Layout

The morning glow gradually sprinkled colorful dazzling waves on the sea surface of the Golden Horn.

In the large villa area built by the sea, there are already many people who get up early and exercise in the morning, or trot, or walk, slowly walking to their homes.

Wearing a relatively loose goose yellow sportswear, accompanied by two men, two women and four guards, Karenia was leisurely walking around and constantly looking around, looking back little by little those childhood times that had been hidden in the depths of her memory.

Before entering the Central Army University in Moscow at the age of sixteen, Karenia lived in this upscale residential complex. But since she was absorbed by the USSR State Security Council and sworn in, she never returned.

Vladivostok is a scenic tourist health resort, the third largest in the Soviet Union after the cities of the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea.

The urban planners of the Soviet Union, taking full advantage of the characteristics of Vladivostok's hilly terrain, seaside location and large forests, will wear the Primorsky mountain town in a beautiful and unique style, with a beautiful environment and a pleasant scenery.

Returning home after thirteen years, Karenia has become the most popular and honored figure among all the senior generals of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, and this honor even exceeds the respect of all the generals of the Pacific Fleet for the supreme leader of the Soviet Union.

This respect is not due to the fact that Karenia is now serving as director of the Far East Bureau of the National Security Council, but because of her life-saving grace to the core leadership of the Pacific Fleet.

In the original history, on February 7, 1981, a Tu-104A passenger plane with the designation USSR-42332 had just taken off from the Pushkin City military airport near Leningrad (St. Petersburg) in the Soviet Union, and plunged headlong into the runway, killing all 52 people on board. Even more shocking. Among those killed were 16 admirals, including the commander of the Pacific Fleet, and an army general, as well as other core leaders of the Pacific Fleet. The huge Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Union was suddenly left without a leader.

February 7 also became the heaviest day in the history of the Soviet Navy, you know, even in the war-torn World War II, the Soviet Navy lost only 4 generals. In the history of aviation in the modern world, there have been many major air accidents, and most of them will publish relevant materials and information to the public afterwards. For the research reference of experts and scholars. However, the great air crash that occurred in the Soviet Union is still full of suspicions.

And the once unshakable Pacific Fleet has begun to decline since that one-dimensional air crash. After the decline of the Soviet Union in the later period and the neglect of the Russian period, although the Pacific Fleet had a natural harbor in the Far East, its competitiveness in the navy declined sharply, and it was never able to enter the attention of the Russian military and political leadership.

At this time and space, because Yang Weiping has been seeking to lay out the Soviet Union, he attaches great importance to many materials related to the Soviet Union in his memory.

The Tu-104 jetliner is the second jetliner in the world. The airliner was developed on the basis of the first jet bomber developed by the Soviet Tupolev Design Bureau for the Soviet Air Force. The Tu-104A was the Soviet Union's most advanced jetliner from 1970 to 1980. It was the designated special plane of the main members of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and it was also used as a special plane for Brozhnev. The losses caused by the air crash of its improved Tu-104A in 1981 not only quickly brought the Tu-104 out of active service, but also profoundly changed the fate of the Soviet Pacific Fleet.

At the beginning of February 1981, the Soviet Navy's annual naval joint combat command exercise was held at the Leningrad Naval Base as usual, and under the auspices of Admiral Gorshkov, then Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, the commanders of the four major fleets and the principal military commanders of the Navy gathered in Leningrad to take part in the naval command's examination of the command ability of the fleet commands. In accordance with the requirements of the Navy. On 30 January, the commander of the Pacific Fleet and his principal military officers departed from Vladivostok to Leningrad on a Tu-104 plane of the Pacific Fleet. After a week of assessment. They were preparing to return to the Pacific Fleet station, when the good news came: the Pacific Fleet had been rated excellent by Gorshkov in this assessment.

On the plane returning on 7 February, a total of 16 generals of the Pacific Fleet, including Admiral Andult Spilidenov, commander of the Pacific Fleet, Vice Admiral Goorgy Pavlov, commander of the Fleet Air Forces, and Sergei Vasilyevich Fedotov, deputy commander of the Pacific Fleet, and an army general of the Primorsky Naval District also returned to Vladivostok by plane. Other personnel included the principal military chief of the Pacific Fleet and a number of government dignitaries, including Ramakokin, secretary of the CPSU Party Committee of the Primorsky Region, and his wife.

On February 7, it snowed in Leningrad. Afternoon. The Pushkin military airfield received information that a small snowstorm was coming, but it was puzzling that no one had ordered the flight to be canceled.

After the tower gave the take-off command to the Pacific Fleet plane, the pilots taxied a distance of less than a few hundred meters. Didn't even taxied to the edge of the runway and took off in a hurry. The pilot crew are all excellent pilots of the Pacific Fleet Air Force, and they have been flying similar aircraft for more than 10 years. Their take-off maneuvers, using the internationally popular balancing method that had just been introduced in the Soviet Union at the time, allowed the aircraft to fly quickly off the ground, but in doing so, it brought the aircraft one step closer to disaster: the rapid climb caused the lift of the aircraft to drop rapidly, and with it, the ratio of lift to the weight of the aircraft also decreased, in this case, the balance of the aircraft was reduced to the limit.

The aircraft that had just lifted off was only 50 meters above the plane when it encountered a strong flanking current. In order to overcome this air flow, the pilot habitually pressed the aircraft in the direction of the air flow to the right. Unexpectedly, the extremely unstable fuselage encountered a strong air current, and the plane suddenly fell headlong to the ground like a kite with a broken string, and it took only 8 seconds from take-off to finally fall to the ground.

Yang Weiping was not sure whether Karenia's father, who held the important post of deputy commander of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, was among them. However, this kind of life-saving grace that can ease the relationship between Karenia's father and daughter, Yang Weiping still decided to help Karenia.

Besides, in Yang Weiping's entire layout before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Far Eastern Military District and the Pacific Fleet will be an extremely important link, and he is also willing to help with this kind of major event that can change the overall fate of the Soviet Pacific Fleet.

And so. Yang Weiping found an opportunity to reveal this information to Karenia, and Karenia arrived at the airport on February 7 before the improved Tu-104A took off, claiming that KGB had received information that the Tu-104A had potential safety hazards.

Admiral Durt Sbilidnov of the Pacific Fleet and Vice Admiral Goorgy Pavlov, commander of the Fleet Aviation, naturally attached great importance to KGB's intelligence.

After careful inspection by an emergency troubleshooting investigation team composed of experts from the Tupolev Design Bureau and ground crews, it was finally determined that the flaps of the Tu-104A aircraft had asymmetry when opened. If this fault is not eliminated in time. After the aircraft takes off, the guide body will be tilted severely, and the Tu-104A will be overloaded, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

The conclusions of the aviation experts' investigation were enough to make Admiral Durt Spilidenov, Vice Admiral Goorgy Pavlov, commander of the fleet air force, and others break out in a cold sweat at that time.

If Karenia hadn't rushed over in time to prevent this Tu-104A from taking off, they, the core generals of the Pacific Fleet, would definitely have been killed.

In the following investigation into the cause of the accident, Karenia, of course, will not tell the truth about the source of the intelligence, but claims that it is a conspiracy orchestrated by Western spies. And took advantage of the situation to launch a huge anti-traitor and counter-espionage operation throughout the Soviet Union, which made Europe and the United States nervous.

As for why Yang Weiping learned in advance that this Tu-104a had a potential safety hazard, Karenia also selectively forgot about it. She didn't think it was a conspiracy arranged by Yang Weiping. Because Yang Weiping and his Tiangong Group's power in the Soviet Union was almost zero, it was impossible to plan such a shocking conspiracy that would be enough to deal a fatal blow to the Tiangong Group. It's an automatic brain supplement, attributing this to the fact that Boss Yang, the son of God, can really see the future with his eyes.

It was also after this incident that further strengthened Karenia's almost blind worship and superstition towards Yang Weiping. She not only gained the gratitude and friendship of all the core leaders of the entire Pacific Fleet, but also naturally extended her hand into the Tupolev Design Bureau, providing a lot of technical information reference support for the industrial mass production of the Y20B Global Overlord strategic and tactical bomber designed by Yang Weiping.

The Pacific Fleet of the USSR did not follow in the footsteps of history, and the position of the Far Eastern Military District did not suffer any losses. Under Karenia's threading of the needle, a large number of former North Burmese enterprises began to gradually settle in the Far East of the Soviet Union.

Yang Weiping, of course, does not dare to brazenly reach out in the European territory of the Soviet Union. We can only keep our eyes on the Far East first.

Already during the Great Patriotic War of the USSR, the industry of its Far East was essentially in the service of the military. Postwar. The Soviet policy in this regard remained unchanged, giving priority to the development of the defense industry and gradually establishing a number of cities in the Far East centered on the military industry. The common feature of these new cities that the Soviet Union expanded after World War II was that they had a single production structure and were designed to serve military production.

In Binshanbian District, for example, more than 90 percent of its district centers are towns serving the military industry. Such as: Arsenyev, who made airplanes. Veliky Kamen, which is engaged in the repair and maintenance of nuclear submarines, Dalnegosk and Kavalerovo, which specialize in the extraction of raw materials for the defense industry. All these raw materials are used at an extremely low rate in civilian industry.

Based on strategic considerations in the Far East, the Soviet Union had a very large number of military facilities and garrisons in the Far East, with 1.5 million troops and the Pacific Fleet. Many enterprises must first undertake the task of directly serving the troops in their own regions, so that the military industry is objectively in a priority position for development.

Karenia focuses on about forty military-industrial complexes. Thirty-two of them formed the regional military-industrial complex, which belonged to the Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry, the Ministry of Aviation Industry, the Ministry of Electronics Industry, the Ministry of Radio Industry, and the Ministry of Defense Industry of the USSR.

After Andropov came to power and began to implement gradual reforms, most of the defense enterprises of the USSR were transferred to the specialized bureaus of the USSR Federal Ministry of Industry. In 1985, the output value of these enterprises accounted for almost 90% of the total output value of the military-industrial complex.

In fact, there were many civilian enterprises in the USSR that served the production of the military-industrial complex. These civilian enterprises also produce military products. Such as the Khabarovsk Petroleum Processing Plant, the "Zhiboi-1" Plant, the Khabarovsk No. 1 Reinforced Concrete Products Plant, the Sunrise Sewing Machine Plant and the Electronic Technology Plant, the Sulfuric Acid Plant, the Far Eastern Diesel Engine Plant, the Khorsk Hydrolysis Plant and so on. For decades, the Soviet Union's forced expansion of its military potential beyond the limits had led to a high degree of militarization of the economy of the Far East, reaching or even exceeding the actual needs of national defense.

Due to the strong military flavor of the industry in the Far East, it also affected the production structure of the region's manufacturing industry. In addition, the enterprises belong to different departments, and the collaborative relationship between them is quite weak. As a result, the dispersion of talents and funds and redundant production have led to the narrow specialization of the production sector, the implementation of supporting production, and the lack of a developed scientific research base. The development and design of the project was largely limited to certain high-quality components and parts, and the vast majority of raw materials and accessories were supplied from the central regions of the Soviet Union.

In response to this situation, Karenia, who had already been taught face-to-face by Boss Yang, already had a comprehensive improvement plan. The first to enter the Far East of these former North Burmese enterprises are the catfish that stir up this pool of muddy waters. With the Far Eastern Military District and the Pacific Fleet as protective umbrellas, these former North Burmese entrepreneurs who came to the Soviet Far East to enclose land and pan for gold are naturally like fish in water in this resource-rich and fertile land.

Karenia returned to Vladivostok this time, in addition to making a special trip to inspect and comfort the entrepreneurs and workers of OUCC who started a business in the Far East on behalf of Boss Yang, but also had an important task.

As the head of the Far Eastern Bureau of the USSR State Security Committee (KGB), Karenia naturally had access to all the archives of the KGB Far East Division. And in view of the fact that the world's major intelligence agencies and organizations have entered China to show their magical powers, Karenia feels that KGB certainly cannot be left behind.

It's just that because Sino-Soviet relations have fallen into a historical freezing point since the early sixties, KGB's power in China is very limited. Therefore, Karenia decided to use a group of hidden personnel secretly planted in China by the Far East Bureau back then, and prepared to have an unprecedented "big competition on the same stage" with her counterparts in Western countries!
