Chapter 905: Integration and Promotion
"Of course I know what the Americans are aiming for, unless you think that the KGB only serves to eat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Serov said silently, then smiled, "I know that the Americans are fooling with the Star Wars program, but I still have to fight." The Americans wanted to suppress oil prices and weaken the Soviet Union, even the Central and Allied countries that weakened the Soviet Union. Not only will I not fight back, but I will help them. They want to take advantage of our foothold in the Middle East and burn the fire of the Middle East on us. I can also get our allies in the Middle East to burn the fire on our American allies. None of those princes can fight. ”
At present, the world oil price has fallen to 26 US dollars, and Serov is very anxious, he hopes that it will fall faster, Iraq and Iran will certainly not be as bearable as the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union does not need dollars to do anything. At least the USSR had other industries to operate, and the industries of these two countries were much weaker than those of the USSR.
Even if it is weak, it is stronger than Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, which are all deserts and cannot be industrialized. Serov was confident that the war would begin as soon as the Soviet Union nodded to Kuwait as an unequal imperialist treaty against Iraq. But now is not the time, Reagan is drawing strength at the end, and he is the same, clenching into fists, looking for opportunities to give each other a hard blow.
"Regarding the start of construction of the Ulyanovsk-class, I agree in its entirety, the first batch of four central ships has already been approved." Handing over the document to Marshal Gorshkov, commander of the Red Navy, Serov looked at the old marshal who had dedicated his life to the Soviet Red Navy and said, "Geographically, our navy is destined to be only an auxiliary force of the army, but even if it is an auxiliary force, it must have the ability to die together with the US Navy." ”
The construction of the Ulyanovsk-class aircraft carriers began four years earlier than in history, and this also depended on the progress of Soviet technology, and Serov must say that he was grateful for the capitalist economic crisis, otherwise many goals and technologies would not have been achieved. That economic crisis made up for many of the technological shortcomings of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union's advantageous projects continued to develop, and several more economic crises were by no means a bad thing for the Soviet Union.
It stands to reason that Defense Minister Marshal Ustinov should attend this meeting, and it seems that there has been a little new change, and Serov wonders a little unruly whether his poisonous apple has worked.
At this military conference, which gathered the Soviet Army, Navy, Air Force, Air Defense Forces, and Strategic Rocket Forces, the general secretary himself could only play a one-man show here and inquire about the experiments of the new tank, the start of construction of the Ulyanovsk-class, and the progress of the production of fourth-generation fighters of the Air Force.
There is also a specific information-based military reform, this voice has been there for a long time, Chief of the General Staff Nikolai? Vasilyevich? Marshal Ogarkov, two years ago, in his article "History Teaches Us to Be Vigilant," Ogarkov once again emphasized that the military revolution in the nuclear age will be followed by a new military revolution based on technological achievements in the field of detection equipment and computer systems, which can bring conventional weapons on a par with nuclear weapons. Guided by this theory, Ogarkov actively carried out the modernization and transformation of weapons and equipment and the testing of new types of combat units. Under his facilitation, experiments with a tactical-level command system using the most advanced digital technology of the time were successful. On this basis, the Soviet Army established the first division-level digital test unit, proving that digital technology can significantly improve the combat effectiveness of troops.
However, contrary to popular belief, the reason for Ogarkov's departure was not the usual exclusion. At least Serov will now be able to find out the conflict in Ogarkov's remarks. Marshal Ogarkov advocated high-tech warfare while maintaining the Soviet Union's current superiority in conventional military strength.
That is to say, Marshal Ogarkov wanted to simultaneously transform the four million Soviet Red Army, which was equipped with tens of thousands of nuclear bombs, more than 300 nuclear submarines, eight aircraft-carrying cruisers, more than 6,000 fighters, and nearly 100,000 tanks, into an army that could blow up bicycles with precision-guided bombs.
In this regard, the general secretary, who is illiterate and militarily illiterate, said that he could not accept it, this is simply a joke, and it is still at the international level. The current size of the Soviet Union has become like that, and it is still questionable whether the Soviet Union can afford to raise it? Do you see how many of those digitized troops the United States raises?
Even Serov couldn't accept it, and to hell with it that other Soviet military commanders could accept it. How much can the general secretary accept? Not even one Western cluster is unacceptable, at most two army groups, preferably one.
"I can only accept the reform of a group army, how can I test my actual combat ability during the reform? You are military and understand the current situation. With the intensification of the confrontation, we can clearly feel the increasing repulsion from the opposite side, of course, this feeling is mutual, the two icebergs have been getting closer and closer, what is needed at this time is to maintain stability, not to change the course, it is very dangerous to change the course rashly, we deviate a little, we may be knocked out of the predetermined track. Serov looked at Marshal Ogarkov and said, "What you need for military reform is a stable environment, and unfortunately, the seventies are more suitable." ”
"The new equipment that is now in service can be tried to be added to the reform, but the reform involving the four million Soviet Red Army soldiers still has to wait." Serov looked at the military commanders around him and was recognized, and the other military commanders applauded in support of the general secretary's decision.
It's a pity that there are no more pro-American countries around the Soviet Union, otherwise he really wants to find an unlucky guy to try Marshal Ogarkov's army after reform, and the final reform decided to select troops from the Western cluster in the GDR, and after discussion, two Guards tank divisions and two Guards motorized rifle divisions of the Second Guards Tank Army were used as pilots.
Serov also has to consider the candidate for the next defense minister, and if Marshal Ustinov is always like this, it is very doubtful whether he will be able to withstand this year, and maybe there will be a funeral at the end of the year. There are two candidates, one is Marshal Ogarkov, who is preparing for reform, and the other is Marshal Akhromeyev. He is more inclined to the latter, loyalty, not to the general secretary, but to the country.
He is qualified to serve as Minister of Defense in terms of integrity and ability, but can his elder brother, Senior General Baglamyan, be Minister of Defense? Of course that's okay, as long as he's shameless enough.
After consideration, after the death of Marshal Ustinov, the change of military leadership in the USSR was that Marshal Akhromeyev became Minister of Defense and Marshal Ogarkov was appointed commander of the Western cluster. Bagramyan General Serov is ready to be transferred back to the post of commander of the Moscow Military District.
Marshal Ogarkov can toss hard in the Western cluster, he has concluded in history that when the war really comes, the United States will definitely not fight a world war with the Soviet Union, as long as the Soviet Union is not greedy, it is completely possible for the international anti-Soviet forces to open up the Indian Ocean by default, and the Indian Ocean matter has now been resolved, and it is certainly not the general secretary who puts such a marshal in the Western cluster, and it is certainly not the general secretary who can't sleep.
After the meeting of the Ministry of Defense, Serov immediately convened a security meeting in the afternoon, and as for the meeting of the Central Presidium, it was an evening affair, the US elections were already in full swing, and he needed to concentrate the forces of the Soviet Union as soon as possible. Now he needs to know the progress and effectiveness of the anti-slacking movement.
"With the installation of a comprehensive monitoring system, the country's losses and waste have been greatly reduced, and theft in particular has been improved the most!" "After a survey of 300,000 state-owned enterprises in the country, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that the service life of machines has increased significantly, and the wear rate has decreased significantly," reported the Minister of Internal Affairs Fedorchuk. ”
"Industrial efficiency has increased by 6 percent year-on-year, and the country's economic growth will inevitably return to more than 10 percent this year." General Bobkov also reported the good news, although the initial investment in the monitoring system was huge, but it was quickly recouped from the improvement of industrial efficiency, although it was met with some dissatisfaction.
Didn't you see all this dissatisfaction Serov? What's the grievance? Those who don't have clean hands will be dissatisfied, and they really regard the country's products as your home? After working in a TV factory for a year, he can assemble two TVs with parts and watch them by himself, don't expect this kind of thing to happen in the future, and control the two behaviors of theft and waste is in his opinion, the victory of the anti-sabotage movement.
"Immediately build a highway to Iraq and Iran, and the governments of both countries have already asked for help from us. What's next? Comrade Malakov, Chairman of the Bulgarian National Security Council, said that it is necessary to learn from the Soviet Union's introduction of a comprehensive system of social surveillance, Comrade Tsvigon, you should pay attention to this. Serov asked Tsvigon to pay attention to this, and since the Soviet Union had proven to be effective, there was no reason why Bulgaria, which was in line with the Soviet political and economic system, should not be effective.
Counting Andropov's tenure, two years after the anti-sabotage and anti-privilege campaign, Serov, who saw the obvious results, began to prepare to spread the results to Eastern Europe. The Warsaw Pact countries are all relatively pure planned economic systems, and since the Soviet Union is effective, then these countries must have a role, and there is a difference between large and small.
Reagan was about to start raising his broadsword to shear the sheep, and Serov was going to come in reverse and give all the Warsaw Pact countries chicken blood. No matter what the final effect is, it will definitely be stronger than it is now, and it will be a little stronger. Waste and sabotage are common problems in countries like the Soviet Union, and if the Soviet Union can control it, the Eastern European countries will certainly be able to control it as well.
Two days later, Serov met with an American economist in the Kremlin, which, according to later generations, belonged to the five rubles in the United States, which was a lot in the United States in those days. The general secretary, who did not deal with Reagan, had a common language with this man. Returning from a visit to Moscow, the economist Galbraith praised the economic achievements of the Soviet Union, explaining that "the success of the Soviet system lies in its ability to concentrate all human resources." ”
