Because of some things back then, the southern cluster of the Soviet Union has always existed in this historical time and space, and the garrisons are mainly responsible for Hungary and Romania, so it can be said that the Soviet army in Romania is not strong, in fact, the Soviet Union does not have many garrisons in several other countries except for the Western cluster, and the combined combat effectiveness is not as strong as the Western cluster. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The garrison in Romania and Hungary is less than 80,000, and even fewer in Romania.

The command of the Southern Cluster, in the Konstancha region on the border with the USSR, was commanded by Colonel-General Provarov. Admiral Provarov is generally in Hungary, and the general headquarters of the Southern Cluster is in Hungary, because Hungary was almost out of the control of the Soviet Union, so the command organs of the Southern Cluster are generally there, and the Romanian side is the backup command.

Constanta's proximity to the Black Sea, with ports and Soviet trade, is also the most economically developed region in Romania. It is a very nice place to the west with the Danube River basin. The Soviet troops in Romania had a strict scope of activity and pledged not to interfere in the internal affairs of Romania, but in fact the possibility of interference in the internal affairs of the Soviet army remained for as long as the Soviet troops had been present.

"Comrade General Political Commissar, I wonder if I came here from Moscow this time, do you have any work to order?" Admiral Provarov greeted Serov to the command and asked about the purpose of his visit this time.

"In view of my relatively large reputation, during de Gaulle's visit to Romania, I came to ask Ceausescu to pay attention to the existence of the Soviet Union." Serov stretched and walked to the window, which was a nice place. In fact, because of their size, the gap between rich and poor in these Eastern European countries is even lower than in the Soviet Union. Of course, it does not mean that the socialist countries can close the gap between the rich and the poor, and Yugoslavia cannot do this, the wealth of the most developed regions of the Soviet Union is about seven times that of the poor regions, and the figure of Yugoslavia is even greater than that of the Soviet Union.

"After Ceausescu came to power, it was obvious that relations with us had turned cold, and this invitation to France's de Gaulle to visit was obviously a demonstration against us, so we had to react somewhat and inform Bucharest that starting tomorrow, the Soviet troops in Romania would begin a three-day military exercise in which Romanian troops were welcomed."

If the Warsaw Pact countries do not count the Soviet Union, then the largest army is Poland, and the second largest is the Romanian People's Army. This cannot be blamed on the Soviet Union, who made these countries very backward before, the Romanian People's Army is no different from other Warsaw Pact countries in other respects, except for its unique military uniform, but the number is a little more. This is also in line with the demographic situation of the Warsaw Pact countries, which are the second most populous countries besides Poland.

This army did not play a role in the great changes in Eastern Europe, as did its counterparts in other allies. The military forces that really fought for Ceausescu until the last moment were their counterparts in the KGB, the security forces of the Romanian Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Romanian Ministry of Internal Affairs, which Sahatovsky helped to establish, and the Romanian People's Army, which was almost several times larger than himself, and fought until the death of Ceausescu and his wife.

During Ceausescu's rule, Romania did not allow Warsaw Pact troops to enter Romania for live exercises. Apparently afraid that things in Czechoslovakia would repeat themselves in them, but that was after the withdrawal of the Soviet garrison. In the world in which Serov lived, Soviet troops never withdrew.

On 15 May, a special plane carrying French President Charles de Gaulle slowly landed at the Bucharest People's Airport. Ceausescu and his wife personally greeted de Gaulle at the airport, and the two sides made a very friendly journey to the hotel arranged by Ceausescu for de Gaulle, and on the same day the Soviet troops in Romania announced that they would begin military exercises and invited the Romanian People's Army to participate.

Hundreds of T54 tanks left the barracks of the Soviet army, they were mighty with the smell of steel, and behind them were Soviet armored personnel carriers, self-propelled guns and towed guns, forming a magnificent scene that stretched for more than ten kilometers. The dust splashed up during the march obscured the sky and the helicopter gunships were constantly circling overhead, and anyone who looked at it would feel that it was impossible to organize the advance of such an army, and if it was an enemy, there was no doubt that it would be crushed.

Serov, in his capacity as General Political Commissar of State Security and Commissar of National Defense, addressed the Soviet soldiers participating in the exercises: "Today's world is far from being peaceful. In the far reaches of Southeast Asia, where the inhabitants are bombarded by conservative imperialism, the agents of imperialism in the Middle East, Israel's cruel treatment of the local Arabs, the African continent where mankind originated, where all kinds of dictators are rampant, and those at the bottom of society are eagerly awaiting a day of change. Who can save them? Only you, glorious and fearless Soviet soldiers. We were born in the great and glorious October Revolution, our noble mission made our experience shine brightly, and after the brutal Great Patriotic War, the great Red Army always prevailed over the enemy, just like the great Soviets, Ula ......"

"Ula, Ula, Ula!" Tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers below shouted in unison, dispersed in the performance of the military band, and in the distance they had already assembled, and the neat and unsightly Soviet military equipment was slowly moving, and the exercise officially began.

"Just get a few hundred people with a few tanks, is that called a drill? That's called acting, and if we don't show the armed forces of the Soviet Union, some people still think that we have achieved nothing for so many years. After saluting all the soldiers and seeing them leave, Serov, who came down to the rostrum, took off his gloves and said to General Provarov, commander of the Southern Cluster, flatly, "It's a pity, if it's in China, we can simulate a nuclear raid and put two atomic bombs to simulate a nuclear war." ”

The opponents of the Soviet Union were not afraid of the Soviet Red Navy at all, at least in the current era, and as long as the Red Navy developed a nuclear submarine force, the biggest threat to that thing was to hide. It's really not a good exercise project. The opponents of the USSR were afraid of the ground forces of the USSR, and even ordinary people could see them at a glance and immediately remember the shocking scenes.

Serov and the commander of the Southern Cluster, Colonel-General Provarov, immediately boarded the helicopter gunship and followed the slowly moving but indestructible torrent of steel on the ground in the sky, and the momentum was manifested in every way, in the dirt turned out of the tank tracks, in the roar of the engines, in the expressions of Soviet soldiers in armored personnel carriers, and even in the blades of the towed artillery guns against the cold light.

The acting project of the Southern Cluster is still a large-depth assault that the Soviet Union is good at, but in order to take care of Ceausescu's emotions, the direction of this large-depth assault is towards the border of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet garrison of the Moldavian SSR is the defensive side, confronting the Soviet troops of the Southern Cluster in Romania.

Blitzkrieg is a tactic that pins hopes on an offensive, while a large-depth assault requires more preparation and more armor to form a continuous strike. Therefore, blitzkrieg is Germany's method of warfare in the event of a general disadvantage, and a large-depth assault is the dominant strategy of the Soviet Union, like the tide of the sea, wave after wave.

The military exercises of the Southern Cluster immediately drew various interpretations, and many newspapers believed that the Soviet Union used this military exercise to warn Ceausescu, who invited de Gaulle to visit.

But de Gaulle's reaction is faster than that of Romania, since De Gaulle came to power, France has obviously been able to toss more than before he took office, De Gaulle will use everything to brush up the presence of France, many hot events The United States and the Soviet Union have not yet expressed their position, but suddenly found that France has given a comment first, from the perspective of creating a big news, de Gaulle is far better than the prime minister of the same era.

"Such actions by the Soviet military are unnecessary, and the friendly relations between France and Romania are determined by the friendly feelings of the two peoples and the national interests. This should not be interfered with by some powerful country, and I can only see the timidity of the Soviet military in this exercise, and no amount of steel can hide the fragile hearts of some people. "In Bucharest, the capital of Romania, de Gaulle expressed his opinion about the exercise to the Romanian reception staff.

"Romania will only choose friends in its own interests, and for the Soviet Union, of course, Romania respects, but Romania still has to think about the problem from its own position." Ceausescu finally left room to evaluate the exercise, believing that if it weren't for the fact that there were still Soviet troops stationed in Romania, he would definitely not let go of the Soviet Union so easily.

"I hope that when the time comes, you will be able to accept the reality and the indifference now." Serov has just received a telegram from Lubyanka, in which there are two more important things, the first is to talk about the situation in France, some political parties in France have officially come to the forefront, and several professional politicians in the procession have participated in the procession: Socialists Mitterrand, Mendes? Francis, the leader of the French Communist Party, Waldeck? Roger et al. The KGB had already contacted the French Communist Party through its Fifth Division in France. Marshall.

The other thing was Sahatovsky's coded telegram, which was deciphered to show that he had already arranged for Bucharest and had been given a plan for De Gaulle's itinerary for the following week, which was to make De Gaulle ill at the right time. (To be continued.) )
