Chapter 950: The French
"Where has Valenov been lately?" It wasn't until after his son had left that Serov remembered that he had wanted to ask his brother what he was doing, but he hadn't seen him for a long time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the White House National Security Council meeting, President Reagan stressed the importance of the attack on Libya to the United States, which was attended by a series of senior U.S. officials, including Secretary of Defense Weinberg and CIA Director Casey.
For the United States, there must be a premise for evaluating any military action, that is, whether the Soviet Union will stop the United States. The Soviet factor has always been a factor that the United States must consider before doing something, and this time is no exception.
"We believe that the radiation strength of the Soviet military in Libya is not enough to launch a confrontation with us, of course, we also consider how we should act after Libya really asks for help, and the Soviet Union really assists." Defense Secretary Weinberg said with great ambition, "As we all know, the Soviet Union cannot rush to Libya from land, even if Egypt itself has a military advisory group of 80,000 people, it is not enough." ”
"What the Ministry of Defense means is that the Soviet Union should not actively interfere with our attack on Libya, and even if Gaddafi asks for help, the possibility of support is very small. This is not a land operation, it is inevitable to use the navy and air force, the Soviet Union's Eastern Mediterranean Fleet home port is in Greece, and the important ports are Syria, Albania and Yugoslavia, and the Soviet Union has not yet obtained it. Our newly equipped Aegis system is already capable of neutralizing the threat of Soviet heavy anti-ship missiles. ”
The experience of introducing digital computer-assisted automated combat systems during the Vietnam War made the US Navy more and more confident in using computers to enhance the ability to track and control multi-target and master intelligence, so it decided to integrate all the detection, command, control and combat systems in the development of the next generation of surface ship combat systems. The control stations and operators under the respective systems were no longer allowed to work in isolation, and the Aegis was finally formed.
Reagan nodded, and after Secretary of Defense Weinberg finished speaking, CIA Director Casey stood up and said, "We generally know about military sites, air defense positions, and launchers for anti-ship missiles throughout Libya. Those countries that bought Soviet weapons would not be able to form an airtight network with numbers like the Soviet Union, and it was okay to deal with some ordinary countries, but it was completely impossible to fight with our US military. ”
Both the military and the intelligence services gave an affirmative answer, at least from a purely military point of view, that the US military itself did not have any problems, and this answer made Reagan very satisfied. The United States needed a victory to shake off the fear of socialist countries after the Vietnam War, and Grenada was just an appetizer, and Nicaragua was not a proper meal. Even the planned operation against Libya was somewhat inadequate in Reagan's view.
If Reagan was willing to ask, maybe Serov would have told him that you can't do that. It was the Gulf War under President Bush that restored the United States' self-confidence in the war. Since Reagan is still cautiously probing, the general secretary will not say.
"I hope that this military operation can revive the morale of the US military and clear the suspicions after the Vietnam War, the US army is of course the most powerful army in the world, and the Soviet armed forces are nothing, this is the real fact, not what many people think!" Reagan encouraged in a firm tone, "To show our strength, but also to give confidence to our allies, especially the Western European countries." ”
Senior officials of the "USA......" National Security Council shouted in unison, and the time had come for the U.S. military to regain confidence.
Reagan was very dissatisfied with the fact that the various socialist parties and communist parties in Europe occupied half of the country, and he believed that this was the reason for the existence of the Soviet Union. France is also colluding with Western European countries to get the United States and the Soviet Union to sign an intermediate-range nuclear missile treaty, and Reagan does not want to sign such a treaty at all, and only when the Soviet Union's nuclear missiles are aimed at Western Europe can the US stationing troops in Europe show its own value. That is why it has always insisted that all medium-range missiles of the United States and the Soviet Union must be dismantled, and the Soviet Union, which has suffered a huge loss in quantity, will not agree.
Reagan and Serov definitely had a common language in terms of dissatisfaction with Western Europe, and as poisoned patients who believed in Stalin's Comintern line, the head of the big secret service was very dissatisfied with the existence of the Socialist International. He was not afraid of how popular the Socialist International was, and as a place beyond the control of the Soviet Union, he wished there would be more of this stronghold.
The discontent was that he had always feared that the ideas of the Socialist International would affect the Soviet Union. When he first advocated the political dimension of reform, he used the Socialist International as a reference to propose humane and democratic socialism. In the end, the Soviet Union collapsed, but after the 21st century, people can find that the suicide gene of the Socialist International has always existed, but Western Europe is a chronic suicide in this regard, and the unlearned Gotu is committing acute suicide.
Now that the great enemy of the Soviet Union is present, the chief of the big secret service must say with a clear conscience and the Socialist International that we are all socialists, and that in the future when there is a chance to cut off the Virgin who knows about protest but does not know about armed protest.
"There seems to have been a little more recent reports of U.S. accusations against Libya." Little Valya muttered with the newspapers of major news in the United States, of course, they didn't scold the big spies, and the scolding had already been singled out.
"Hmmm! Well? Serov instantly returned to normal from Hawking's state, straightened his back, and startled little Valya. But he didn't care about that, just took the giant globe on the table and stared at Libya's position.
No wonder Reagan has not moved recently, if using bombers to help the Honduran junta bomb guerrillas counts as action. It turned out that the big move of holding back was to clean up Kadazuo. As for the reason, in fact, there is no need for a reason, just say one. If you really can't find it, saying that your country is not free is also a reason to beat you.
When the Soviet Union beat Turkey, it also entered it in the name of liberating the Kurds who had been treated unfairly, and as long as it was a country, how could it not find a reason for war.
After reading several newspapers in a row, the United States accused Libya of supporting international terrorism, and this reason almost made Serov laugh, and he wanted to laugh even more than the original history, which is also a reason? There is only one reason, Libya is anti-American.
Will Libya be intimidated? This will never happen, because the world is balanced, and some countries are pulling the United States to balance the Soviet Union, and some countries are pulling the Soviet Union to balance the United States. Libya belonged to the latter in the eighties, and Cardazo, of course, did not have much affection for the Soviet Union, but even more towards the United States, which was contemptuous of the Arabs.
Of course, this premise is that the Soviet Union is still alive, and if there is no country that can look as strong as the United States, Cardazo will definitely not be tough to the end, and may choose to kneel in the face of heavy pressure, and nothing is important. However, the United States has always had a tradition of killing whole families, and countries that choose to kneel also have no good fruit to eat.
"Let Comrade Gromyko communicate with France, which is traditionally the sphere of influence of the French, and tell the French that maybe the United States may solve the problem by military action, and at the same time inform Libya of this news." Serov immediately issued an order that the Soviet Union would not interfere in this US military operation, and the Soviet armed forces also needed to assess where the US military was now. Moreover, just as he thought, when the Soviet Union existed, those anti-American countries that were beaten would get closer to the Soviet Union after being beaten.
Later generations had an argument that the Soviet Union was besieged by the whole world in the war in Afghanistan, but in fact it did not, at least France also endorsed the Soviet Union's attack on Afghanistan. In the 80s, when the Soviet Union was in decline, France helped the Soviet Union in almost all major matters to prevent the imbalance of power in the world. Help the Soviet Union oppose the deployment of neutron bombs by the United States, provide loans to help the Soviet Union tide over the difficulties, and resist Reagan's Star Wars program. But with such an ally in the enemy camp, it could not stop the Soviet Union, which was about to commit suicide.
Mitterrand soon thanked the Soviets for the information and gave clear assurances that "the United States cannot use the French mainland, nor any of the French bases in Africa, be it naval or air bases." France will also allow Spain and France to take a common position. ”
The reply to the letter shows the domineering spirit of the old imperialists, and the French now think that the world is very good, and if the contrast is unbalanced, there will be no chance for France to exert influence. At least so far, France's position as the world's top three is still very stable. Sitting on one-third of Africa and more than 10 million square kilometers of maritime territory, it is a force that no one dares to underestimate.
Washington, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff William? Crowe submitted an operational plan to President Reagan, which proposed to carry out night air raids against five Libyan targets, including three in Tripoli and two in Benghazi, with A-6 carrier-based attack planes of the Sixth Fleet's "Coral Sea" and "America" aircraft carrier formations and F-111F fighter-bombers stationed at the United States Air Force Base in Inluckenheath.
At the same time, the U.S. Navy's Sixth Fleet has been slowly moving in preparation for Operation Golden Canyon, codenamed Operation Golden Canyon. UN Ambassador Vernon? Walls was ordered to leave for various countries to begin lobbying.
And that in Vernon? Before Walls departed, the Soviet newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda publicly warned that the United States had the intention of waging war against Libya, followed by statements from all socialist countries that if the United States took military action, it would be a typical imperialist act of war. French President Francois Mitterrand announced that he would try to dissuade Reagan from abandoning military action.
"French!" Reagan shouted out in a gaffe.
