CHAPTER 50: WEST-81
On September 4, 1981, on the Baltic Sea coast of the Soviet Union, the largest military exercise in human history finally began. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe volatile situation in Poland has given the West an opportunity to weaken the Soviet Union, and for its own safety, the Soviet government must give a warning to these ill-intentioned individuals. Therefore, the code name of this military exercise is "West-81".
Early in the morning of 4 September, Seryosha was taken by special car to a nearby military airport, and he felt very honored to have the honor to witness this spectacular military exercise. The main reason why everyone came to the airport was that the scale of this exercise was too large, so the Ministry of National Defense specially arranged a special helicopter for everyone, so that you could enjoy this spectacular military exercise from the air.
In the past few days, Seryosha and Chubanov have gotten along well, and under Chubanov's introduction, there are many more opportunities to get along with President Bo. Seryosha had never imagined such an adventure before coming here.
As soon as he got out of the car, Seryosha was picked up by Chulbanov's secretary, who had been waiting here for a long time, because Chubanov did not have to accompany President Bo today, so he arranged Seryosha on his special plane. When Seryosha boarded the plane, Chubanov was already waiting inside.
Seryosha got into the cabin and sat down next to Chubanov, and his secretary closed the hatch for everyone. With Chulbanov's order, the pilot began to take off. The plane began to slowly climb upwards and then flew westward. With the glow of the morning sun, Seryosha's plane finally arrived at the battlefield, and looking down from the cabin, the endless cluster of tanks was slowly advancing forward.
"How is it, are you interested in coming to the Ministry of the Interior to help me!" Chubanov asked, seemingly inadvertently.
"Thank you for your kindness, Chubanov! I'm still interested in the work of the Youth League Committee! Seryosha replied, looking at the torrent of steel below.
"Although I am now the First Deputy Minister of the Interior, Minister Xiaolokov will soon be retiring, and I promise not to treat you badly if you come!" Chubanov tried his best to persuade him.
"Actually, the city of Gorky is not far from Moscow, if you want to relax and relax, you can come to me at any time!" Seryosha glanced back at Chubanov and said.
"Isn't Moscow attractive to you, Seryosha?" Chubanov asked, puzzled.
"I just feel freer in Gorky City, I'm not ready to go on a bigger stage right now!" Seryosha replied. But part of the reason why Seryosha didn't say it was that without Gorky, there was no way to take care of his business. Surprisingly, this reason seemed to convince Chulbanov, and he did not persuade Seryosha again. The two began to focus on the drill itself.
Like all military exercises, the West-81 was divided into red and blue sides for confrontation exercises, with the red side as the attacker and the blue side as the defending side. The units participating in the exercise included mechanized infantry, armored troops, artillery, boat-bridge units, anti-chemical warfare units, surface-to-surface long-range tactical missile units, medium- and long-range strategic missile forces, airborne troops, marines, naval ship units, and front-line aviation units of the Air Force...... Almost all branches of the Red Army were involved. The exercise was divided into eight days, and the first day of the exercise consisted of precision strikes by long-range guided missiles and large-scale armored group assaults. Today, tens of thousands of tanks alone have been dispatched, and even the latest T-80 main station tank and T-72 main battle tank at the bottom of the box have been dispatched, which is really unprecedented. In addition, the director of this exercise did not set the assumption that the result of the exercise would be the victory of the red side or the blue side, and in order to get as close to the actual combat as possible, the troops of the red and blue sides used real swords and guns, and the commanders of both sides were also instructed to adapt to the situation according to the form of the battlefield until the winner was decided.
Throughout the afternoon, Seryosha and Chubanov followed the armored forces closely, watching the invincible torrent of steel storm the city. In the process, the blue air force sent fighter planes to attack and harass several times, but was forced back by the red air defense forces. And on the Baltic Sea, not far from here, the Red Navy of the Soviet Union is also conducting intensive exercises and confrontations, and even dispatched Kiev-class aircraft carriers.
As the saying goes, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway. Although Seryosha and Chubanov are both dressed in military uniforms, and their military ranks are not low, Seryosha has not attended a military academy, and he has not been a soldier for a long time, so he can't see the doorway here. And although Chubanov has the rank of lieutenant general, he is only a lieutenant general of the internal affairs forces, and to put it bluntly, he is a police chief. Therefore, the two of them can only watch the excitement.
At noon, the helicopter carried Seryosha and Chubanov back to the camp for a meal and a short rest. Mr. Bo had been listening to Defense Minister Marshal Dmitry Ustinov report on the exercise all morning, but he was still waiting for Chubanov to come back and have lunch with him, and it seemed that he really liked Chubanov's son-in-law.
At lunch, Mr. Bo asked Seryosha what he thought of the results of the exercise, and Seryosha frankly admitted that he was a layman, except that he couldn't see anything at all, which made Mr. Bo laugh heartily. Mr. Bo himself doesn't like to drink, but he is an old smoker, but unfortunately due to physical reasons, the doctor has forbidden him to smoke again. Originally, Seryosha did not dare to make a mistake, but Chubanov asked Seryosha for a good cigar, and then began to spit clouds and smoke in front of President Bo, and he also encouraged Seryosha to come along. Seryosha was very surprised by this, and Mr. Bo seemed to see his thoughts, and said to him: "If you want to smoke, young man!" Otherwise, when I reach my age, I can only smell other people's cigarettes and have a good time! After saying that, he laughed heartily, and Seryosha also laughed a few times, deducing that he had smoked too much today, but in fact, he didn't dare to tell Mr. Bo that second-hand smoke is more harmful.
Through the contact of Xie Liaosha in the past few days, he found that Mr. Bo is actually a person who pays attention to family affection, and it is said that Mr. Bo also had a lover when he was young, but for the sake of the family, Mr. Bo finally chose to return to his wife's side. He was doting on his children, and even cared about Chulbanov. However, Mr. Bo is not an ordinary old man of the Soviet Union after all, he is the leader of a country, but his love for his family is carried out at the expense of the interests of the country. Seryosha also disagreed. (To be continued.) )
