Chapter 830: Code Name West 81
All the newspaper pages were illustrated with news about the Mumbai fire, but Serov didn't read a single newspaper. Since you are ashamed www.biquge.info don't always sprinkle salt in your heart. Rather than more than 50,000 dead and wounded, he hoped that India's intelligence services would be more efficient and capable, and the KGB left a lot of evidence pointing the finger at Pakistan. Most of this evidence was left several years ago.
For example, the piles of gas canisters piled up were sold by the KGB from Pakistan to the slum kilns. Five years ago, there was still some waste fuel, and some scrap cotton piled up, all of which were shipped from Pakistan. The time is three years ago and six years ago, respectively, and as long as the Indian intelligence services have the heart, they can still know the origin of these things.
"Don't send me any more news about the Bombay fires, Valya, you intercept this information." Serov is not good at giving such orders in the open, so he can only control himself from looking. At the same time, he told the life secretary little Valya alone.
"I see, don't worry." Major Valya folded her long legs, and she did not hesitate to do anything the man commanded, even if she was the same age as Serov's daughter Yulia.
"Hmmm! Is Reagan in good health? I was discharged from the hospital in ten days! He was more concerned about the news in the United States, as he said at the beginning of the assassination, and there was no need to bother to find out if Reagan was dead. The American media would have told the Soviet Union about this, and that was exactly what happened, and it saved the KGB a fortune.
The hospital's chief of thoracic surgery, Benjamin? L. Aaron decided to perform a thoracic operation that lasted one hour and forty-five minutes because the president's internal bleeding did not resolve. During the eventual surgical removal of the bullet in the emergency room, Reagan lost more than half the blood of an adult. And the hospital staff who participated in the operation did not know that the bullet could explode at any time.
The news was leaked out after the fact, and Serov could only sigh that Reagan really shouldn't die, but for him, this is a good thing, the General Political Commissar wants Reagan to live more than anyone else, otherwise Reagan is dead, who knows how many years this tug-of-war will take?
But he knew that Reagan would only be able to be discharged from the hospital, and that was it. It is impossible to recover without half a year. The current Reagan could not work at all, and it is estimated that his health is worse than that of the current Brezhnev.
The KGB is an intelligence service, the essence of the work will not change, after reading a piece of intelligence, Serov sealed the photos inside, these are some photos of the interior of the Ticonderoga-class cruiser of the US Navy, which was given to the KGB by a sergeant major of the US Navy, then serve on that Ticonderoga-class cruiser.
This sergeant major is not a spy for the development of the KGB, if you have to compare, this officer is similar to the Cambridge Five Masters of the United Kingdom, and he recognized the communist ideas of the Soviet Union, and finally began to contact the Soviet KGB when he was in service, providing intelligence on the US Navy, because as we all know, the only obvious gap between the Soviet Union and the United States in terms of military strength is in the navy.
The biggest dream of this five-ruble man who brought his own dry food was to live in the Soviet Union, a society where everyone was equal in propaganda, and he wanted to leave the United States and live in the Soviet Union after providing the photos. However, Serov knew what the real Soviet Union was like, and how could he agree to such a request.
The General Political Commissar never thought that the Soviet Union was as bad as the United States said, and certainly not as good as the Soviet Union itself propagated. It is better for this officer to stay in the United States, and coming to the USSR will definitely see the real situation in the USSR. Moreover, in terms of value, the KGB also hoped that the other side would remain in the United States, and in the end, with ideals and reality, the First General Directorate let this naval officer continue to serve the United States. It is hoped that in the future it will be possible to make a greater contribution to the Soviet Union.
"It's a pity, it's not Ali Burke!" Serov laughed as he spoke, he also felt that he was too greedy. Ali Burke was only in the design, and the Ticonderoga-class cruisers were the main force of the US Navy now. In addition, the Kidd-class already has one in the hands of the Soviet Union, and it is believed that the newly built ships of the Soviet Red Navy will definitely be more optimized.
Even with arrogance, Serov could not say that there was no gap between the Soviet Red Navy and the US Navy, this is pure fart. If the 100-year navy is just talking, then the Soviet Union's 20-year catch-up should now be on an equal footing with the United States.
"I mobilized ten tank armies and armies of all arms, plus the Warsaw Pact army to conduct military exercises." In the Kremlin, Defense Minister Ustinov's eyebrows were full of confidence, and he even spoke with a hint of brilliance, "There is no plan for the exercise, until the winner is decided, the Warsaw Pact coalition forces play the role of the blue side and are responsible for defense." ”
"And, of course, the traditional Blue Army under Comrade Serov, and what is the name of that army now." Ustinov asked suddenly, because the army that played the role of an imaginary enemy was always changing names.
"Confederate Army!" Serov didn't want to change his name all the time, the key was that the group of children brought back from Vietnam had grown up and reached the age of service, and this imaginary enemy force had exceeded 100,000 people, and if the group of American illegitimate children were fully grown up in two years, the number would be nearly 200,000. He, the great liberator, had brought back a group of people in Iran two years ago, and for at least twenty or thirty years, the Soviet Union would have absolutely no shortage of imaginary enemy troops.
"The coalition army and the Warsaw Pact coalition army form the blue side troops, but it still seems to be a little thin, I put the Cheka division and the KGB division in it, so that the blue side will have about 350,000 troops to defend. It is also more in line with the proportions of the Warsaw Pact and NATO. What do you think? Comrade Ustinov! As he spoke, Serov seemed to remember something, "Shall we put two atomic bombs and rehearse a nuclear assault march?" ”
Ahem! Brezhnev coughed twice, he was actually not willing to interrupt the interaction between the Minister of Defense and the General Political Commissar, but he still had to remind, "The location of the exercise is on the plains of Belarus and Ukraine, I think, it is better not to add nuclear assault exercises, not all the armies of the Warsaw Pact countries can withstand it." ”
"Isn't it as close to actual combat as possible?" Serov tilted his head, isn't that a nuclear war? What other options exist?
"It is a conventional war that is as close to actual combat as possible, and of course we can replace the atomic bomb with other weapons. After all, it is our own country, and it is still somewhat inappropriate to use an atomic bomb. "Marshal Ustinov is also embarrassed, even if it is to bomb two in Mongolia, he will not object, but Eastern Europe is absolutely not good.
"The code name of the exercise is West-81, and to put it bluntly, it was originally intended for NATO." Brezhnev interjected: The great leader is still the chairman of the defense committee, and he cannot remain silent when the general political commissar and the defense minister are discussing.
"Reagan's life is so big, he hasn't even died!" Andropov, who had been silent because of the discussion exercise, said that in fact, the exercise itself was prepared for Reagan, but he didn't expect Reagan's life to be very hard, and he didn't die.
As the Kremlin was discussing the August 1 exercise in the West, Foreign Minister Gromyko hurriedly pushed the door open, nodded and greeted everyone, and then whispered to the general secretary, "The Indian government is ready to send a delegation to visit Moscow." They're coming soon, and it's set for three days. ”
"In such a hurry? Wasn't Indira Gandhi supposed to be devastated by the Mumbai fires? Chernenko, who was also unmotivated, asked, "Did you come here to ask for help?" It's not impossible. ”
Brezhnev was also very strange, but he still agreed to this matter, India, as a big country, is very worthy of the Soviet Union's struggle, and India's geographical environment has no conflict with the Soviet Union, and the population explosion cannot blow up the Soviet Union. It is that its own strength is a little weaker, and there is a consensus at the top of the Soviet Union that China is stronger than India.
The look of embarrassment on Serov's face flashed, this was done by him, and the Indian delegation came to Moscow in such a hurry, most likely because it had already found evidence left by the KGB, this time it came to the Soviet Union to enlist support.
"Let's announce the news of the exercise, otherwise I'm afraid that NATO will be scared to pee my pants when the time comes." Serov changed the subject, and Ustinov agreed, further proposing to invite NATO countries to become observers for a closer look.
The time for the exercise was set for 17 June, and it was immediately announced through the TASS news agency, and all countries were invited to come to the Soviet Union to watch the big exercise, codenamed West-81.
When the news came, the entire NATO countries were in an uproar, and the code name of this exercise of the Soviet Union was obvious, that it was aimed at NATO. Soon, however, various countries expressed their willingness to watch the Soviet Union's large-scale exercises.
At such a time, even if all NATO countries have no bottom in their hearts, the military leaders of various countries must act as if they do not care, lose the battle without losing the battle, and cannot scare them into not even moving with a single piece of news. Even if you really can't beat it, you have to make an appearance to convince the people of your country that the two are completely fighting.
Later, various news was leaked and began to circulate in Western European countries, "This exercise mobilized 850,000 troops, including the Soviet Red Army, the KGB Internal Guard, and the troops of the Warsaw Pact countries." The Red Army of the Soviet Union as the Red Side, and the Warsaw Pact Coalition Forces, including the Greek Wehrmacht, as the Blue Side, exercised without a plan until the winner was decided. ”
Soon an explosive piece of news was leaked, "The imaginary enemy unit of the Soviet Union, the traditional Blue Army, numbering more than 100,000, is the illegitimate son of an American soldier who has always been adopted by the KGB, and comes from all the places where the United States has been stationed." ”
Once this news is missing, in addition to shocking, it is followed by making people laugh, how can it be so ironic? (To be continued.) )
