Chapter 840: The Big Picture Has Been Decided

But for the Soviet Union, the Indo-Pakistani war was still not as important as NATO's joint exercises. After the Soviet Union held the powerful Western-81 military exercises, the former Hollywood second-tier star of the United States also organized a series www.biquge.info of military exercises, including nuclear exercises, in order not to let its allies be intimidated by the momentum of the Soviet Union.

NATO's joint exercises, after August 1 in the West, pushed the hostility between NATO and the Warsaw Pact to the highest position. After two-for-tat exercises, the period of détente between the Soviet Union and the United States officially ended. It marks the complete replacement of the decade-long détente advocated by the two sides in a head-on confrontation.

"Whether it's military, economic, technological, human, allies, or geographical location, I'm not afraid of the United States at any point. If the United States wants to fight with the Soviet Union, I will fight to the death. Make America's manifest destiny a joke! Serov pointed to the world map and said, "I believe that as long as our motherland itself does not have problems, sooner or later the United States will not be able to hold out." ”

"Hmm!" Brezhnev looked silent, as if he was asleep if he didn't look carefully, and said slowly, "Ustinov, announce the establishment of the Indian Ocean Fleet, transfer ships from major fleets, and the home port will be set in the port of Pakistan. ”

"Yes, General Secretary!" Marshal Ustinov put back on his wiped glasses and promised in a low voice, "I personally am very much looking forward to the reaction of the Americans, when will the people of the marginal continent understand that Eurasia is invincible." ”

"I think it's safer to go with a nuclear warhead." Serov's words made all the members of the National Defense Committee meeting laugh this time, and it was a deep smile, and the meaning of it was difficult to understand.

Just when the NATO joint exercise was still going on, a bombshell came from Moscow, and the Soviet Union announced the establishment of a fifth main fleet, named the Indian Ocean Fleet.

"We need a stronger and bigger navy to deal with Soviet ambitions, which the Soviets have run out of steam. The United States must respond head-on. Reagan shouted hoarsely as he spoke to Congress. It was as if the U.S. Navy was not prepared, and sooner or later the Soviet Red Navy would attack the United States with powerful Soviet ground forces.

Reagan's move to reinvigorate the US Navy was also seen as a response to the formation of the Soviet Indian Ocean Fleet. The Soviet Union's response was even more simple and direct, and the Kirov-class battlecruiser, the Frunze, which had just entered service, entered the eastern Mediterranean, passed through the Suez Canal to the waters of the Indian Ocean, and with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons, and ships carrying nuclear warheads and 500 missiles of various types, appeared single-handedly in the Indian Ocean.

Compared with the US Navy, which is often dispatched as a whole, this ship is accompanied by the brave class large anti-submarine ship "Admiral Pyridonov" and the Hyundai-class missile destroyer Shenmi, and the Frunze is not a large number of people, but no one dares to underestimate the combat effectiveness of this fleet with only three ships, and even if the US Navy does not care about the missiles on it, it cannot care about the nuclear warheads of the Frunze nuclear-powered missile cruiser.

The news of the entry of the nuclear-powered missile cruiser Frunze into the Indian Ocean was immediately used by Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi as a tool to encourage the Indian army to make persistent efforts. The Soviet Union has already stepped in to help India withstand the threat of the United States. At this time, India can't say anything if it can't make some achievements.

At the same time, the headquarters of Indira Gandhi declared that the friendly relations between the USSR and India were a model of relations between different countries. India was willing to open a port as a base for the Soviet Red Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet. This would not have been in line with India's long-standing assertion that the Indian Ocean is India's ocean. However, this ideal has returned to reality under the constant imminence of the US Navy, and the only thing in the world today that can stare at the US Navy is the Soviet Red Navy.

In order to deal with the threat of the U.S. Navy, India had to pull in the Soviet Red Navy to counteract this pressure from the United States.

India has no choice but to do so unless it abandons its impending victory. But this is impossible, India has even annexed Bangladesh, which used to occupy 60% of Pakistan's population, and there is no reason to abandon the annexation of West Pakistan. You must know that the first bite of India has already been eaten, the difficulty of the second bite has been reduced and the harvest is greater, and India cannot stand still.

Once India wins this war, the shadow of the Sino-Indian border war will disappear completely. India completely threw off the partition plan between India and Pakistan, and Indira Gandhi's father, Prime Minister Nehru, originally disagreed with this matter, and Indira Gandhi, who has always been deeply influenced by his father, also adheres to a similar view.

On the same day that the Indian army captured Karachi, the Soviet Red Navy reached the Arabian Sea and stayed off the west coast of India, while the U.S. Seventh Fleet approached the Bay of Bengal and reached the east coast of India. The two most powerful navies in the world are facing each other from a distance on the Indian mainland.

Thanks to the economic crisis in the United States in the seventies, President Carter successively rejected the US Navy's demands to increase military spending. In 1981, the strength of the Soviet Red Navy and the U.S. Navy was the closest. If calculated in terms of total tonnage, the Soviet Red Navy was the most powerful maritime power in the world. However, the accounts cannot be calculated in this way, the US Navy has a large and medium-sized surface ships that account for the majority of the total tonnage, and the Soviet Union occupies the majority of the tonnage is the underwater nuclear submarine force. In the event of a confrontation on the ocean, the Soviet Red Navy was still no match for the Americans.

However, if the land-based forces are within reach, the Soviet Red Navy can completely fight with the US Navy, and the Soviet naval aviation includes up to hundreds of backfire bombers, and with the support of this air power, the Soviet Red Navy can deal with eight to 12 US heavy aircraft carriers at a time according to its own calculations.

Both the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea were within the range of Soviet backfire bomber formations. Not to mention the missile positions that the entire of Southeast Asia was dotted with Soviet-placed positions. Marshal Ustinov, Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union, said at the right time, "We want the US Navy to calm down, and once the United States is involved in a war on the subcontinent, anything can happen." India's population is 20 times that of Vietnam, and the Vietnam War has not been around for 10 years. Forgot how you failed so quickly? ”

Unlike the Korean War, the direct dispatch of troops by the United States failed to protect South Vietnam as it did South Korea, and the rapid collapse of South Vietnam after the withdrawal of American troops made it impossible for the United States to even comfort itself for a draw.

Ustinov's seemingly valuing act of valuing peace was nothing more than pouring salt into the hearts of the Americans. The Soviet Union also fought a war, and after half a month, a new Kurdish state was established. Turkey, a powerful country in the Near East, is directly locked in a cage, and as for the constant exchange of fire on the Kurdish and Turkish borders, what's the problem, it's not the Soviets who died.

This is also the reason why Americans beat the drum in their hearts whenever they think of confronting the Soviet Union, and people like Reagan who think that the United States has great advantages are a minority, and most people know the world, and the first thing they see is only the desperate country on the world map that spans Europe and Asia and has a large area. As for how much tundra in the USSR was unsuitable for human habitation, how could the average person think. People in many countries have never even seen snow, so naturally they have no concept of the cold zone, how can they know how convenient it is.

The Soviet Red Navy and the U.S. Navy faced off from afar on the left and right sides of India, and Indira Gandhi carried it with the paranoia of a woman, insisting that the Indian army continue to attack and must occupy Pakistan. At the same time, it said that India has no intention of annexing Pakistan, but only wants to judge Pakistan's high-level officials who planned the fire.

However, this time the other countries did not believe a word, and Serov finally pulled India's reputation to the same level as China after China's notoriety in the world, and the untrustworthy country already has two members.

The Afghan People's Party said that it was necessary to liberate the Baluchis, and at the same time said that Afghanistan is a unified multi-ethnic country, which can fully protect the rights and interests of the Baloch people, and the form of the state can be completely discussed, and the federal system of the Soviet Union can also be discussed. Amin certainly doesn't want to do that, but he still does it for the good of Afghanistan as a whole.

After a month of fighting from the north and the south, India has suffered more than 50,000 casualties, and Pakistani soldiers have suffered similar casualties. But where Pakistan suffers is that 350,000 soldiers have become prisoners of war. The war on the northern front in Afghanistan was much less intense, with nearly 10,000 Afghan casualties and the entire homeland recovered. Through this war, the situation in Afghanistan has suddenly stabilized, and as previously estimated, Afghanistan has temporarily transferred its contradictions through the war.

"Chairman, according to our estimates, if the top level of Pakistan chooses to go into exile, there are three places, the United States, China and Saudi Arabia, whether to send people to intercept and kill." Servanov, head of the General Affairs Department, made a gesture of slitting his throat, indicating that he would prevent future troubles.

"What's the matter with us? Those people run wherever they like, that's the problem of the Indians, and we have no obligation to help the Indians solve the problem. It is still the old rule, we want Pakistani American-style weapons, the army, navy and air force, radar and some electronic equipment must be shipped back to China. Serov bit the crab leg and said, "I estimate that when I go back to Saudi Arabia, the United States is typical unreliable, in fact, China is the same, only Saudi Arabia may take in Pakistanis."
