The third more

Marshal Ogarkov's proposal for the construction of the naval vine system and the acceleration of the construction of a modern navy was only for the better implementation of the Soviet submarine saturation strike strategy. The Red Navy fleet has been clearly stated in its task of reshaping the fleet, with new ballistic missile nuclear submarines as the core, and the implementation of a "nuclear containment strategy".

All ships of the Red Navy should be restored to full cover for the ballistic missile nuclear submarines to enter the launch position, and the combat mission of the Red Navy should also be clear, the ballistic missile nuclear submarines should be given priority, the whole fleet should serve the ballistic missile nuclear submarines, and any fleet of the Red Navy should make it clear that conventional strikes are only a hobby of the Soviet Navy, and they have only one job, which is to safely escort the ballistic missile nuclear submarines into the launch position. The Soviet Union's naval construction plan was slightly different from that of the United States, because after all, the people's naval construction was aimed at the goal of nuclear war.

Therefore, the Soviet Navy only needs seven ballistic missile nuclear submarines to be successfully launched, which can inflict "irreparable losses" on any country in the world and force the other side not to dare to start a war.

Under this construction idea, the Soviet Union began the work of opening up sources and reducing expenditure. Yanayev's vine system construction is a shot in the arm in the heart of the Navy, and then Yanayev will begin to drastically reduce the Navy's maritime forces, although some people may not be able to accept this plan, but this is a guarantee to ensure that the Red Navy maintains the highest combat effectiveness.

"In the next two years, four Kenda-class missile cruisers will be phased out and phased out, including Grozny, Admiral Fokin, Admiral Golovko, Varyag."

"In the next three years, 10 Golden Eagle A-class cruisers such as Karanstad, Admiral Isakov, Admiral Nasimov, Admiral Makarov, Marshal Voroshilov, Admiral Okgabolsky, Admiral Isachenkov, Tymoshenko, Vasily Chabaev, Admiral Yumashev, etc., will be phased out."

"Over the next three years, phase out the Type 985 destroyers Modern, Excellence, Desperate, Steadfast, Inspire, streamline the size of all fleets, improve reconnaissance capabilities, and ensure that our nuclear submarines can accurately hit the opposing aircraft carrier fleet."

Yanayev's words are like a knife on Smirev's head, these actions are completely slashing the current naval scale, the Soviet Navy, which was already a little tight, also hoped that Yanayev could add an aircraft carrier, but did not expect the expected aircraft carrier did not come, but reduced the size of the original aircraft carrier battle group.

Smiryev was a little unacceptable, and everyone present couldn't accept it, it was as if they had just been given a piece of candy and immediately slapped in the face. That's not how this carrot and stick policy is played.

"Any questions?" Yanayev looked around at the silent crowd, who were now more silent than when they were hit before, and they cut off more than two dozen ships in one go, which was unacceptable to anyone for a while.

However, the general secretary's policy was correct, the Soviet Union did not need to be caught in a dead circle of arms race with the United States, and it was necessary to maintain a strong navy, as long as it maintained a nuclear submarine strike force that could wipe out the entire United States after being attacked.

"What to do with the obsolete ships, General Secretary Yanayev?" Smiryev asked, "If you dismantle these ships at once, you must know their whereabouts."

"Sell, all to countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The funds from the sale were used to build up our fleet of nuclear submarines, as well as to upgrade our current destroyers, anti-submarine ships and frigates. Yanayev replied without hesitation.

"Huh?" General Misreev thought he had misheard.

"Are there any problems with the sale of all the two dozen old ships that have been eliminated?" Yanayev asked rhetorically.

What an internationalist spirit to knock out the ships in service and then sell them to other countries!

Smiryev simply didn't know what Yanayev was thinking about. Others also frowned, is this to weaken the Soviet Navy to make up for the military strength of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region?

Just when everyone was indignant, Yanayev said lightly, "Do you know what will happen in the Asia-Pacific region if you sell the Kiev-class and Hyundai-class to China, sell some missile destroyers to North Korea, sell shore-to-ship missile systems to South Korea, and win over Japan to build shore-to-ship defense forces?" ”

"An arms race in the Asia-Pacific region?" Yazov immediately reacted that when Yanayev was dismantling and eliminating old ships, he also used them to promote arms sales to the Soviet Union, and selling a ship and weapons could be much more profitable than selling a Kalashnikov rifle.

Yanayev pointed to the South China Sea region and said, "First of all, the sale of the Kiev and Hyundai classes to strengthen the naval power of the allies, I think they have tolerated the Philippines, Vietnam and other countries for a long time, and the United States, which is fanning the flames behind the scenes, is trying to build an island chain to blockade China, and the aircraft carriers and ships sold at low prices are equivalent to a timely rain for them, even if they have not yet formed combat effectiveness, those small countries in the South China Sea who are trying to provoke must weigh the power of anti-ship missiles." And if China had been subdued in the maritime dispute, the Soviet Union might not have a single ally in the international community that could speak for itself. ”

Among the five permanent members, Britain and the United States are hardcore allies, China and the Soviet Union are red allies, and only one France has been in a state of grass on the wall.

"Then there is South Korea and North Korea, no matter how they sell arms, their military power will be maintained on the balance of the tip of the knife on the Korean Peninsula, and the only countries that generate revenue are the forces behind us. And finally, Japan, which sold some obsolete models, do you think anything will change the situation with regard to the dispute over the South Kuril Islands? There will be no, if they really want to do it, then we can tolerate the loss of one ship, but the price paid by Japan is the whole country. ”

In the sound of heavy breathing, Yanayev ended the meeting, and at this time he should have understood almost clearly, and those who were unwilling to accept Yanayev's reform plan also accepted Yanayev's reform plan, and accepted the Soviet Red Navy, which had been reduced in number but greatly improved in strength.

"So, are there any questions now?" (To be continued.) )
