Chapter 1035: It's a Trap
Secondly, it is well known that during the Cold War the United States was afraid of the Soviet Union. The United States feared not a Soviet nuclear attack on its homeland, but an entire European ally under the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons. The Soviet Union's strategic plan at the time was also to ensure the destruction of Europe and to strike at American military bases in the Pacific and Alaska in the north.
Therefore, even if the "Star Wars Project" did bear fruit, it would not threaten the Soviet Union's strategic plan at all, and after the implementation of this plan, it would only make the US homeland more tightly defended. By the time they fully succeeded in this "Star Wars program" and deployed it to Europe for protection, it was not known when and when it would be done, and the Soviet Union did not need to be in a hurry at all.
Third, at that time, the United States, Europe, and the Soviet Union themselves all knew that the Soviet Union had a more powerful nuclear attack force and missile penetration capability than the United States. It was inevitable that the United States and Europe would desperately catch up with the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union had long been prepared for this. They will not be unfamiliar with the United States' plan to build an anti-missile system, the essence of which is to build an anti-missile system, and its essence is nothing more than strengthening their shield. It was not at all as some people say, that the Soviet leaders panicked when they heard of this opportunity, and they seemed more panicked than ordinary people. Since the dawn of mankind, the spear and shield have been alternately improved, and the leader of any country has this awareness, how can he be frightened by a plan that is still on paper?
Fourth, the Soviet Union's science and technology were on a par with the United States at that time, especially in the aerospace and military industries, and even surpassed the United States; if the Soviet Union considered itself second, then the United States did not have enough confidence to recognize itself as first. Since their science and technology are so advanced, they have the ability to have the means to scientifically evaluate the "Star Wars program" of the United States, and although it is not necessarily possible to predict that this plan will die because the technology is not up to it, it can at least be judged that the United States will not be able to achieve this goal in a short period of time. Even if the Soviet Union wanted to pay attention to it, track it, and prevent it, there was no need to use all its strength to engage in so-called competition. The Soviet leadership was not as stupid as some people think.
Fifth, judging from the armaments budget that was later revealed, the Soviet Union did not greatly increase its military financial input because of the US "Star Wars program," and the greatest use of its military spending was still on the Afghan battlefield. Moreover, at that time, the Soviet Union was in financial difficulties because of the shortage of food and light industrial products, and most of the funds were spent on the purchase of grain and the import of light industrial products, and there was not much money to increase in the arms race. Talking about how the US "Star Wars program" dragged down the Soviet Union is just that some people themselves put gold in their faces.
Sixth, the Soviet Union's espionage skills are not small, if the CIA and the FBI of the United States are very powerful, then the Soviet KGB's reputation is not small, it can be said that the KGB at that time had a terrible horror, and they were almost pervasive. The Soviets, although they did not necessarily know how the "Star Wars program" was going, had some understanding.
The last point is that the Soviet Union is not at all worried about this so-called plan, which is the main reason why the United States finally launched this plan on its own: the Soviet Union has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, more than half of the world's nuclear weapons combined, enough to destroy the entire earth dozens of times. If the Soviet Union really wants to destroy Europe, no matter how tight the anti-missile system deployed by the United States in Europe is, it makes no sense for them to detonate a few hydrogen bombs on their own borders, and Europe will have to surrender, and there is no need to break through any defense system at all.
If the United States, believing that it had a well-armed anti-missile system, was comfortable and bold in carrying out a nuclear bombing of the Soviet Union, it would be a big mistake, unless the Americans were fools. The Soviet Union did not need to launch missiles carrying nuclear weapons at all, and the missiles did not need to break through the defenses of the United States at all, and just let the nuclear submarine lurking on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean explode a few high-yield nuclear weapons in the Pacific seabed. A 10-million-ton nuclear bomb will set off huge waves hundreds of meters high, will cause a powerful earthquake, and the monstrous waves and powerful seismic waves will sweep across the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding areas of the Pacific Ocean, not only Hawaii and Guam will become no man's land, but also Benjamin, South Korea, eastern China, the Philippines, Australia, Canada, and even the United States will face an unbearable catastrophe...... The Soviet Union paid nothing more than a few parts of the Far East, which were nothing compared to their vast territory. If they really want to mess with the Soviet Union, they can still make a desperate bet and directly use the Soviet Union itself to destroy the world several times.
Of course, it cannot be said that the "Star Wars program" is useless and useful in preventing and dealing with local wars and small-scale wars, but it is simply not enough to deal with world wars. The vast territory of the Soviet Union and its leading technology were the best weapons against this project. The Soviet leadership did not need to dance to the baton of the American Ronald Reagan axe, and President Reagan did not expect the Soviet Union to follow suit, he was a politician who put forward this huge plan only to deceive the voters and to benefit the arms dealers.
From the time the "Star Wars Program" was proposed to the end of the project, $250 billion was spent in just 10 years, and it was only those arms dealers who were fattened.
In fact, the best defense, the best plan, is how to keep the parties from going berserk, how to make the parties stay together calmly and negotiate. It doesn't matter if there are small-scale fights and killings between big countries, they must not be ruined, and a small earth cannot withstand the violent toss of big countries.
Guo did not expect that this plan appeared two years in advance in this life, and that the things that the US political axe used to fool their own people in the previous life were actually used to fool China in this life.
Guo Zhuocheng smiled sarcastically, but he did not rush to deny the matter, but looked seriously at the text handed to him by Li Guanding.
When Guo Zhuocheng held back his inner smile and read the text, the supreme chief, Yu Gangqiu and others were waiting for him quietly, some drinking tea, some smoking cigarettes, their eyes swept over Guo Zhuocheng's face from time to time.
The article is not long, only three pages, but only the first page is about the "anti-missile defense system," and the other two pages are the assessment of this system by relevant Chinese experts.
Guo quickly swept through the briefing on the "anti-missile defense system" and then set his sights on the assessment of Chinese experts. For the assessment of these experts, he looked at it word by word. These assessments were also apparently excerpted, neatly printed on typewriters. Guo Zhuocheng couldn't see many familiar expert names from above, and Qian Xuesen's name was also impressively listed.
Some of these experts agree with and some oppose it, some say that the technology is feasible, some say that it is completely fantastical, some say that the funds needed are too huge, some say that it is a powerful weapon that cannot be mastered, and some say that it can be seen from this plan that the technology of the United States has reached an unprecedented height...... Almost all of these experts evaluated from a technical standpoint, and a few explained their usefulness from a military point of view. But no one analyzes it from the height of politics, does not look at it from a global perspective, and I don't know if it is because they are unwilling to seize the power of the politicians, or because they really don't have the ability to think about it.
Guo Zhuocheng hadn't put down the materials in his hand, and was still thinking about how to answer questions to the supreme chief and others in his mind, so he heard the supreme chief say: "Don't think about it too much, now you can say whatever comes to mind in your heart." We'd like to hear your first thoughts first, and then we'll talk about how to deal with the U.S. policy. ”
Guo Zhuocheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "Yes, I am not an immortal, how can such a big military matter be decided by me Guo Zhuocheng alone, and I am now at most providing advice to the supreme chief and putting forward reference opinions." If you add too much subjective things to your heart, it will affect the decision-making of the supreme leader, and you only need to say what you know. ”
Guo put the material on the table and said with certainty: "This is a trap!" It is impossible to achieve such a complete function, and even if it can be implemented in the future, it will not make much sense. It was developed against the Soviet Union, but a real clash of great powers could not be prevented by any system, and the conflict could only be nipped in the bud as much as possible. ”
The supreme chief smiled and said, "I don't know if these functions can be realized, but it really doesn't make sense to build this system. I remember an ancient story about a man holding a spear in his hand and saying that it was the sharpest hair in the world and could pierce through any shield. Then he raised the shield in his hand and said that it was the strongest shield in the world. This is where the word contradiction comes from, and now the United States is boasting that this system is the hardest shield in the world, and perhaps it will not be long before they boast that they have the sharpest spear. It is impossible for us in China to follow the United States in blind coaxing, and if we see that others have a hard shield, we will go up and learn from them, and if they have a sharp spear, we will have to raise funds to buy them. ”
The Supreme Chief continued: "The Chairman said that the atomic bomb is a paper tiger, which is not to say that the atomic bomb is not powerful, but that the decision-making process of pressing the atomic explosion button is troublesome, and there are many issues to consider, especially the retaliation of the other side, which is why the atomic bomb is difficult to function. The Soviet Union and the United States are both nuclear powers that can destroy the earth several times, no one wants to hide behind any defense system and throw atomic bombs at each other, can't you bomb yourself if they can't blow it up, when the country really comes to the end, they may destroy the earth, and everyone will die together, so that the goal of striking the enemy can be achieved. ”
