In fact, an INF treaty would have a limited effect on the total number of nuclear weapons of the Soviet Union and the United States, only one-twentieth to one-thirtieth of each other's nuclear weapons. Pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info signing or not only has a certain symbolic meaning, which is to mention the geographical superiority of the United States, the Soviet Union's medium-range missiles have no threat to the United States at all, can only threaten Western Europe.

Soviet missiles could not hit the United States. And the United States medium-range missiles could strike deep into the territory of the Soviet Union: the Pershing-2 missile could reach the Moscow region at its maximum range, while the land-based cruise missile could hit almost the Urals. Given this geostrategic asymmetrical situation, Moscow is extremely interested in banning such missiles with a treaty. And Washington, on the contrary, does not want such a treaty at all, but is under strong pressure from American society and NATO allies, who are afraid of an intensification of nuclear confrontation on the European continent.

Therefore, the countries that were most enthusiastic about the signing of the INF Treaty between the Soviet Union and the United States were the European countries of the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, France, and the United Kingdom.

The mentality is that you can aim your strategic nuclear weapons at each other, but don't use Europe as a battlefield, because for the United States and the Soviet Union, medium-range missiles themselves are only a small part of the arsenal.

Judging by the number of missiles reduced by both sides, the Soviet Union suffered very much. Because the USSR was going to cut more than twice as many medium-range missiles as the United States, of course, this was a pros and cons, but from a strategic point of view, even if the USSR destroyed ten times more than the United States, it was advantageous for the USSR: you know, this meant that for it a component of the strategic nuclear threat disappeared. For the U.S. mainland, the treaty did not reduce any threat. Soviet medium-range missiles would not have reached the United States.

Today, the negotiations have been going on on intermittently for many years, and more than a hundred meetings have been held. Serov concluded that the United States was not willing to withdraw its intermediate-range missiles at all, so he always united with Ustinov and advocated continuing the confrontation without negotiations.

Of course, this is not Serov's goal, he also wants to eliminate the threat of medium-range missiles to the Soviet Union, but he can't learn from Go's map and keep making concessions to achieve his goal. Instead, make it look like I have a lot of strengths. During the seven or eight years of negotiations, at first the United States only thought that the Soviet Union was posturing, but later it was discovered that the Soviet Union was really not ready to talk about this matter.

After Reagan came to power, he was under great pressure, especially after the Plaza Accord, and Western Europe hoped that Reagan would show some sincerity and not let the confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States always take Europe as a hostage. For seven or eight years, the Soviet Union had been uninterested in such unfair negotiations, and Reagan was willing to make such a gesture to appease Europe.

Still? Now that the USSR is not interested, the INF Treaty would be unfair to the USSR if peace had continued, but how happy the USSR would have been if war had come and no nuclear weapons had been deployed on the European continent. Lao Tzu's tank army is finally useful, and the remaining short-range missiles, which even Poland can't reach, still want to fight the Soviet Union?

If this treaty is concluded, there will be only one disadvantage, and that is to undermine Serov's authority. However, the general secretary didn't care, he kept a group of old people in the presidium of the Central Committee, because he was afraid that a few capable members would really come out and challenge him with this matter. And Tikhonov these people could not ......

Serov and General Baghramyan talked deeply about this issue, and it was very uncomfortable to always hold it alone. At the current pace, the chances of starting a war against the Federal Republic of Germany are zero! It's zero, the tank army of the USSR could not attack with so many medium-range missiles, and medium-range missiles were the biggest obstacle to the Soviet offensive. Those nuclear artillery, nuclear mortars are not taken into account.

There were some favorable factors in this historical time and space, because the Soviet Union was still about to go-for-tat against the United States' counteroffensive, so some of Reagan's small actions did not come in handy, such as the Soviet Union's shooting down of a South Korean civil airliner and the Soviet Union's seven-hour nuclear war exercise was not held, that is to say, the original historical hostility between the Soviet Union and the United States escalated little by little from the 80s and finally reached 100 percent, and now it has skipped the process of escalation and directly reached 70 percent. There is no need to let some of Reagan's rogue moves be performed. The hostility is now weighty......

"Actually, why do Western European countries do this, those nuclear weapons are protecting them." General Baglamyan shook his head, he was a soldier, and he couldn't understand the things that involved too many levels for a while.

"Because medium-range missiles will only put Western Europe at risk, and the United States will be fine. The most important reason is that normal people will not start a nuclear war, and the Cold War has been going on for forty years! Serov pointed to his nose and said, "Many people think that I am another Khrushchev, who happened to meet an opponent who also loves to perform." Reagan and I are a pair of psychopaths......"

With the current situation, no one will live a good life but think about how to die together, but Reagan felt that it was necessary to weaken the Soviet Union and even defeat it, Serov also thought so, except for the two of them, no one in other countries thought so, but thought that the fate of the two big brothers was not good, and there were so two people as supreme leaders.

"Speak as if you know Reagan well!" General Baghramyan smiled, still thinking that this matter was out of the blue.

Of course! Serov was silent, what kind of person Reagan was, what kind of way of thinking, his own concubine knew best.

Serov and Reagan have always had no interest in meeting each other, which does not delay the enthusiastic European leaders from constantly matchmaking, and if the INF treaty can really be signed, the two will really inevitably meet.

After the year, the general secretary did not immediately go to work, but went to a very secret testing ground, which was dimensionally close to the Arctic Circle, a wasteland that did not even grow coniferous forests. However, there is still a small city here, but it is now abandoned, and all the staff have been evacuated.

Originally used for gold mining, the town was abandoned in the late seventies and is now being used for experimentation. Because of its proximity to the Arctic Circle, the temperature here is much cooler than in Moscow, close to minus forty degrees. There is not a single settlement within three hundred kilometers, and there may be some Chuvash people, but it should not be a danger to them.

If the city also has life, this city that only appears on military maps is dead, and the ruins are not a ruined garage, a ruined farmhouse, a ruined factory, but the whole city, and after a while, the silicate cement of the city's buildings, streets, and buildings will be weathered into sand, and steel and profiles will be corroded into metal slag. The cottage was turned into sawdust and dirt.

The city, which had been abandoned five years ago, was not yet in its final stages, at least many of the buildings were intact and ready to move in after simple repairs, but it was better not to come in winter, but it took a long time for the Interior Guard to restart the frozen heating system, and when you opened the window, you could still see the image of Lenin printed on the level of a building not far away.

There was no equipment to be transported, waste profiles, sports equipment, KAMAZ cars, Lada cars, Muscovites, were discarded in a haphazard manner. Here, there is no fear of theft, and it doesn't matter if he decays or not. Because even if you move him, there is no road to transport.

Just like Chernobyl, the general secretary came all the way to see the world in a scientific manner, and at the same time as a tour, but mainly to see the experimental data with his own eyes. He certainly wouldn't have come a year ago, because it's really about the same as Chernobyl, where experiments on nuclear leakage are being carried out.

The maximum range of contamination that can be caused by 1.5 kilograms of weapons-grade uranium, and how to create greater nuclear contamination. It was here that research was carried out, and after several tests, the data on the maximum damage was released, and these days the nuclear physicists, who wore radiation suits, fulfilled their task.

Good steel must be used on the cutting edge, and Serov must know how to make the most of the limited sources of pollution, preferably without being immediately discovered, after all, the energy of Kodak's nuclear reactor is far worse than that of a nuclear power plant, that is, it is cheap to stand in densely populated areas. As for whether this test is harmful to nature and reason, the general secretary of atheism does not care.

Soon, Serov left here, and at the same time ordered the city to be abandoned again, all the participants signed confidential documents, and at the same time went to the KGB to report, all the test materials were confiscated, and all the animals used for the experiment were killed.

From now on, when Serov was busy with work, he began to carefully formulate the battle plan again, and the last time he was so serious was when he was cleaning up Turkey, he also did not know when this battle plan would be used, and it would be revised at any time. As last time, the general secretary did not tell anyone.

"If I'm blasting a big Ivan from Novaya Zemlya, the entire European defense system will be destroyed, right? At that time, when the electronic jamming was turned on, could you buy it out for 24 hours? "The general secretary is seriously considering this possibility, believing that no equipment can withstand 100 million tons of nuclear weapons, and all equipment should be burned out.

No, we still need to continue to demonstrate! While the general secretary was studying whether to come to the world war to help the fun, General Chebrikov arrived from the Lubyanka and brought some latest information on the Middle East.

"South Azerbaijanis want to be incorporated into the USSR?" Serov frowned and was silent for a moment and said, "This kind of thinking is not good for us, it is not good at all, could it be a rumor spread by the Americans?" Our position must be expressed to the People's Party of Iran, the USSR will never approve of this, and there is hope for Iran's territorial integrity at any time.
