"Our advantage over NATO has never been so great. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info This depends on the improvement of the entire geographical environment. The liberation of the southern front will inevitably bring about some favorable reactions, and our deployment will also have to be changed. Serov put down his whip and sat down in his seat and continued, "Of course, because the pressure is reduced, proper disarmament can begin. ”

No one wants to have so many foreign troops on their territory, which is understandable for Serov, and it is understandable that he still has to do this, and the deployment of military forces forward will put more pressure on NATO, which must be done.

"Because of NATO's complete defeat in the south, in order to maintain balance, the Federal Republic of Germany has carried out a new round of military expansion, and the Federal Republic of Germany's Wehrmacht originally had a size of about 500,000, and according to our information, it will expand by 250,000 on this basis, reaching a scale of 750,000, and once the DPR People's Army is completed, it will be under unprecedented pressure." Marshal Grechko, Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union, said meaningfully, "We must respond." ”

The German People's Army was not weak, with 2,380 tanks, 7,620 armored vehicles, and 2,500 artillery pieces; 400 combat aircraft, 90 helicopters; 191 ships. It is not weak in any region, but it is not enough on the front line of the confrontation in Europe, and the German People's Army has only 170,000 men.

"Yes, if we face the Federal Republic of Germany again, it will make the military power of the two countries even more unbalanced." Commander of the Third Army of the People's Army of the GDR, Heinz? Major General Handke nodded and replied. Due to historical reasons, the ranks of front-line commanders in the GDR were generally relatively low, and the rank of general at the level of commander of the group army was not high. However, the military personnel who are not at the level of members of the Central Committee and do not have complicated specific work are not included in this list.

The West German Wehrmacht numbered 490,000, three corps, and thirteen divisions. Most of the small arms are American-made. Artillery, Wuzhidu was slightly more than East Germany and relied on NATO air defense. Purely in terms of ground forces, West Germany was in a defensive posture, but it was not necessarily afraid to face the East German People's Army, and the problem was the presence of the main Soviet cluster in the GDR.

"We all know that in addition to the large gap in the number of tanks, the GDR has no less artillery and helicopter gunships than the Federal Republic of Germany, and the most imbalance is manpower. The population of the Federal Republic of Germany far exceeds that of the GDR, not to mention the blood-sucking of the GDR in the first place. Serov looked at the generals of the Warsaw Pact countries around him and said, "It is impossible for the GDR to expand its army, and the reason is the same as that of Czechoslovakia, the population is insufficient, and once the army is expanded, it will affect the normal economic development." ”

"For a long time, most of the armed forces of the Warsaw Pact were on the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union was under considerable pressure for this, and under our current advantage, it is very necessary to appropriately adjust the garrison, discuss the appropriate distribution of our troops, and take into account military and economic development. This is the original intention of this joint military meeting. After Serov finished speaking, he waited for the generals of these countries to think that the Soviet Union would appropriately disarm the meaning, but it did not mean that the entire Warsaw Pact would be the same.

"That is, some countries want to disarm, and some countries want to expand their armies?" General Jaruzelsky paused for a moment and asked, "In this way, we are just adjusting the main direction of the present and retracting the energy that had to be divided into troops in the Balkans?" The concentration of forces puts more pressure on the West. ”

"Comrade Jaruzelsky is right, that's how it is." Defense Minister Marshal Grechko nodded, this is the purpose of this Warsaw Pact joint military meeting, to dismantle some units that are still equipped with old fashion, and to complete the renewal of armaments. In fact, the Warsaw Pact was simply facing the western front of Europe, and not only did it not decrease its strength, but it also greatly increased the liberation of the Romanian and Bulgarian People's Armies.

"Of all the Allied countries at the moment, only Poland and Romania have the fastest population growth, so the Soviets want the two countries to take some responsibility, and the Romanian People's Army will have a division on the east bank of Sovietgrad, as well as Bulgaria and Greece, and the southern cluster to monitor Turkey, completely weakening this threat. So the Western Front would require Poland to take greater responsibility, and Poland would have enough population to do this. Poland should expand its army by 30,000 to 50,000 troops, that is, two to three divisions, to relieve the pressure on the GDR, and at the same time we will mobilize five tank divisions and motorized rifle divisions from the Caucasus to strengthen the northern cluster in Poland, which is expected to have about 170,000 troops by then, so as to maintain the balance after the expansion of the Federal Republic of Germany. ”

The Soviet Union's suggestion was that everyone nodded, the GDR still had to resist the pressure of NATO, only two countries had expanded its army, Poland and Romania, and the Bulgarian People's Army remained the same in size, and as a strategic reserve for the Warsaw Pact, the Greek Wehrmacht would be the greatest help to the Soviet Union if it defended its own country.

Each of the remaining countries disarmed a few thousand to 20,000 yuan, and at the same time some equipment from the 50s was decommissioned and replaced with equipment that was more reliable after the Soviet Union had been tested in this war, and the equipment that had been decommissioned was sent to the Middle Eastern countries.

What equipment was produced but not satisfied, look at the Soviet European military districts and Warsaw Pact countries did not equip them, but the border guards and Middle Eastern countries used them, this kind of equipment is transitional equipment, the T62 tank is like this, and the MiG-25 is also like this after the mutiny. The military was not satisfied with the equipment itself, but only allowed the weapons to be used before more reliable equipment could be used.

To a certain extent, the T62 is only a deep improvement of the T54, and it is a step backwards compared to the T54 in terms of ergonomics. The division of labor and integration within the Warsaw Pact countries is much higher than that of NATO, which only requires that the ammunition and key communications equipment of each member state be common. In addition to the Soviet Union, the Warsaw Pact has limited strength in the research and development of weapons and equipment, especially heavy weapons are basically copied from the Soviet Union, and the people's armies of Eastern European countries are to some extent only the second-line auxiliary forces of the Soviet Army, and for the second-line auxiliary forces, T54 is enough. The third is that the Soviet army is actually not satisfied with the T62, the T62 can only be regarded as transitional equipment in the Soviet army, and the Soviet army had high hopes for the T64 and T72, which is destined that the output of T62 cannot be compared with T54 and T72.

This time, in order to show its sincerity, the Soviet Union took out the T72 that shined in the war against Turkey, mainly because the four major tank factories of the Soviet Union were already operating at full capacity, but because the Soviet Union had many allies, it was still not available, and after this meeting, the T72 tanks would enter the armies of other Warsaw Pact countries in turn.

It was also for this reason that Ustinov began to examine the question of the location of the fifth tank base in the USSR. The Soviet Union had four tank bases, two in Russia, one in Ukraine, and one in Central Asia. As for the choice of the fifth tank base, Defense Minister Marshal Grechko believes that it is necessary to choose in the Siberian region.

"If you choose from Siberia, there will be some cost problems, but this is not high compared to the high planned cost of the T80 tank!" Marshal Grechko said indifferently that the manufacturing cost of the T80 tank is 400,000 rubles, which is nearly three times higher than that of the T64 tank.

"In Siberia? It was calm over there, and Jura said there was no threat. Ustinov thought about it.

"Only a general political commissar like him, who is not a soldier, would think that a country with 4.8 million troops is not a threat." Marshal Grechko snorted, "The deployment of the Far East is a bit too arrogant, what if the other side raids the Trans-Siberian Railway?" ”

"Four million and eight thousand soldiers? All deployed on the Sino-Soviet border? That's just 1.5 million soldiers. Serov corrected unhurriedly, and then continued with a change of tone, "The Siberian KGB Red Banner Border Guards plus the Red Army also have more than 600,000 people, although the tanks are a little behind, at least there is no problem in cleaning up the imitation of the T54, right?" There are twice as many helicopter gunships, large-caliber artillery, air power and even nuclear weapons as a whole of China. I really don't know where that fear of the Ministry of Defense comes from? ”

"But they have so many soldiers, we should also be on guard." Marshal Gretschko changed his tone.

"You also know that there are many Chinese, so we can't compare the numbers, India can compare with China, and the Indians have been preparing to recover more than 200,000 square kilometers of land in the northeast." Serov was unreasonably weak at the mention of India, but quickly disguised it. Whether the Indian army is fighting or not, it seems unlikely that they will try to deceive Marshal Grechko.

"And then we're not going to do anything?" Marshal Grechko asked with a look at whether you were a spy or not.

"Of course not, advance preparation is necessary, and from now on it is really necessary to be prepared, just like I did in the Caucasus, to prepare military supplies in Mongolia and the Far East, as well as in the Kazakh region, and to complete the reserve little by little in five years." Serov thought for a moment and said, "The preparation time has been extended to five years, and no one will find out about each wagon." It can be concealed to the greatest extent, and this offensive defense does not need to be completed by means of increasing troops. ”

"As for the new tank building base, the plant for the production of T80 tanks, can be placed in Komsomolsk Amur. This preparation is sufficient. "Serov must make a proper compromise, otherwise Marshal Grechko will now really wonder if he is a co-spy.

At the time of the completion of the tank manufacturing base in Amur Komsomolsk, the T80 tank was almost finalized, and it could be put into production directly in Eastern Siberia, because there are more European spies in this world, and the cost of the T80 tank has dropped a lot, and the reliability of the T80 tank, which has stolen a lot of technology from France and Italy, is much higher than that of the same period in history, and it will not always fail.
