Chapter 926: The United States
"The total number of Chinese soldiers is about 3.8 million, slightly surpassing that of China in terms of number and ranking first in the world. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info After the disarmament three years ago, we have reduced a lot of pressure. Of course, this has something to do with the gradual restoration of relations between our two countries. ”
The Minister of Defense, Marshal Akhromeyev, gave a detailed account of the situation in the eastern neighbor of the USSR, which, in addition to Comrade Minister of Defense, Marshal Sokolov, Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Kulikov, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Warsaw, was detailed. It was not at all difficult to find a few marshals from the USSR who dared to fight as military commanders.
Reagan's move was not surprising at all. It's easy to see a zero-sum game. Unite with China to find us in trouble and solve the biggest threat. Serov said indifferently to several military leaders, "Normal actions, do the same as me, in the face of the strength of the Soviet Union, Reagan also had to deal with it with all his strength and reach a certain compromise." ”
What did Reagan feel about socialism, does it need to be said? However, the United States confronted China and the Soviet Union at the same time, and even the United States, which is now fighting chicken blood, cannot do it, and the United States had a much greater advantage in the 50s than it does now. First stabilize China, concentrate on attacking the Soviet Union, and after the main enemy, the Soviet Union, is eliminated, it is natural that China can easily be killed with a backhand. Beautifully completed the United States' counterattack this time.
Think beautifully! It would be unlucky enough for the Soviet Union to come up with a map of Go, and for Reagan it was all pie in the sky, and it was expected that both countries would have brainless leaders? It is better to pray for God to appear and prove the existence of the Soviet atheism, and there is great hope for the collapse of the atheistic ideas of the Soviet Union.
Reagan, who was re-elected in the election, immediately forgot his pre-election proposition and directly kicked out the fraud. As far as the Soviet Union is concerned, the most direct consideration is whether the nearly four million soldiers of the Ministry of Defense will turn around and become enemies of the Soviet Union, as the marshals of the Ministry of Defense are worried about.
"General Secretary, are we appropriately strengthening some guards on the eastern border?" Defense Minister Marshal Akhromeyev proposed very seriously, from Marshal Ustinov's self-confident defense minister, who saw that the US military was aliens in his eyes, after the death of the new defense minister, Marshal Akhromeyev, has become a very realistic commander, and the very tangled thinking of the Soviet military has returned, and Serov understands that there are always people who want to harm me......
After understanding it, the general secretary still would not agree with the other party's opinion, and directly refused, saying, "There are so many countries bordering the Soviet Union, should we pursue absolute military superiority over any neighboring country?" Know that our borders are the longest in the world! Moreover, the military superiority itself is in our hands, and strengthening it is only to consolidate this superiority, and there is no need at all. ”
"But the necessary precautions must also be taken." The Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Sokolov, sided with Defense Minister Akhromeyev, and before the seventies, China's explosive posture could frighten the whole world, including, of course, the Soviet Union. Who doesn't have a headache when they come across such a neighbor? The other party still has so much manpower?
It's a pity that the general secretary is obviously a little out of energy, and his posture is becoming more and more like Hawking's development, this posture is that he did not listen to the opinions of several marshals, and even the second secretary Ligachev who was present was embarrassed, thinking about whether to remind the general secretary and pay attention to the occasion.
When Ligachev's embarrassment became more and more serious, the general secretary woke up, on the one hand, because several marshals had finished expressing their thoughts, and the general secretary with a bright look in his eyes reminded everyone that it was just you who had a delusion.
Stretching out her hand, little Valya directly took a Russian document, which was translated by the KGB, and Serov, who was holding the document, said, "This is a public document issued by the Military Commission of our neighboring country, you can take a look, the time was just three days ago." ”
Marshal Akhromeyev, Marshal Sokolov, and Marshal Kulikov nodded and took it and read it. The faces were very solemn, and it was obvious that the above content was very interesting to these marshals.
"Now, you should be relieved, right?" Serov stared at the document in his hand and smiled, "What do you think?" A commercial army? And how much more combat power? Is it an opponent of our Soviet Armed Forces? ”
Marshal Akhromeyev, Marshal Sokolov, and Marshal Kulikov looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
"That's right, whether it is fighter planes, tanks, grassroots firepower, we are far superior to China, the only shortcoming is that the other side has a little more people than us, but this is not irreparable, our armaments can offset the opponent's numerical advantage, the only thing worth worrying about is the spiritual level." Serov looked at several marshals and said coldly, "Now that the other side has disarmed mentally, the situation has changed from each dominant position to our comprehensive superiority." ”
"Do you want to increase the armed forces on the eastern border?" Serov asked a few military bigwigs very easily.
"Judging from the current situation, it should be unnecessary." Marshal Akhromeyev considered for a moment and did not mention the expansion of the army.
"Then, now I want to make some adjustments to the border armed forces, the border guards of the KGB will take over the border crossings, severely crack down on cross-border smuggling, the armed forces of the military will withdraw from the daily management of the borders, and the armed forces of the Soviet Union will disengage from China." Serov not only refused to agree to the advice of several bigwigs of the Ministry of Defense, but also allowed the Soviet armed forces led by the Ministry of Defense to be separated from the daily maintenance of the border, and in the future, all the eastern borders of the Soviet Union were handed over to the border guards.
Several marshals nodded in agreement, saluted Serov and Ligachev, and left the Kremlin one after another to return to the Ministry of Defense.
"Our leadership in the field of reflection is being strengthened like never before." Serov said to Ligachev.
"That's right, General Secretary." Ligachev understood that the reintroduction of Yugoslavia and Albania was only superficial, but the interior was that the Soviet Union had no country in the ideological field that could challenge it. The USSR was socialism, and now no country can question it.
Serov can easily see from history that among the theories that could have an impact on the Soviet Union, they all advocated more revolutionary theories, the Trotskyists of the Stalin period, and the post-war period from China to Albania.
"For many years, we have been attacked on two fronts, the reformists of the European Communist Parties, and the reformists who think that we are not revolutionary enough, and the reformists are no match for us in terms of the degree of harm, because the European Communist Parties, no matter how much they reform, will only make them look like socialists. The latter is a great threat, and now ......" Serov suddenly paused, but immediately his voice reasserted, "this threat is gone!" ”
At least in sight, there will not be any existing socialist countries that can challenge the Soviet Union ideologically.
"But will we be able to get back on track in the future?" Ligachev does not want to see countries in the same camp like this.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, and although the Soviet Union was angry at China for repeatedly opposing itself, it did not have in its heart the idea of restoring relations like the 50s, and Khrushchev and Brezhnev had tried to do so. But the current progress over history, that is, there has been no direct firefight. Cold War and restrained friendly ......
"They may need an elder to restore the value of the country, discreetly and practically, just like Brezhnev, but the cadres of our general secretary are for life, and it is better not to appear in other countries." Serov stood up and straightened his shirt and said, "I'm going to rest for a few days, and I'll be back after Reagan's visit." You lead the Secretariat on a number of issues. ”
Ligachev nodded, even if the general secretary is not in the Kremlin, there will be no challenger. Anyone who doubts authority, as soon as he sees the four police cadres who remain in Moscow, lacks the courage to carry out all the intrigues in the face of such a situation.
In terms of personality, Serov was more inclined to Khrushchev and did not fit the image of a leader in the definition of a Soviet.
In addition, the US Government has successively announced that it will allow the export of technology that can be applied to military applications to China, abolish the ban on the export of lethal weapons to China, and include China as a friendly African ally in the transfer of technology. In the field of science and technology, the two sides signed an agreement on cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy and an agreement on cooperation and exchange in science, technology and education. On the economic and trade front, the two countries have signed a textile trade agreement, a maritime agreement and a memorandum of understanding on satellite launches.
Reagan could indeed afford to pay more than Serov, who did not dare to agree to so many conditions at the risk of hollowing out the Soviet Union.
"These things, don't worry, there's nothing to be afraid of. Do what you have to do, and don't put pressure on China. Serov put down the phone and walked to the automatic gas station. After manually refueling, go inside and find the only staff member to pay.
"Don't let me rest!" Little Valya wore sunglasses, and when the general secretary finished paying, she muttered with some dissatisfaction, the two people who disguised themselves as father and daughter were both spies and did not let others recognize them.
"The next stop is Yaroslavl Oblast? Stop talking nonsense, this matter is really important, and the Secretariat's report should be as it should be! Serov calmed the restless little girl. The two general secretaries didn't go far, they just drove out and walked around.
Reagan's desperate move is tantamount to the beginning of the hollowing out of the United States, that is, China's military strength in later generations is far from the United States. If China had had the relative military strength of the Soviet Union, the number one imperialist country would have been kicked off from its position as the world hegemon long ago.
