With the sinking of the strategic nuclear submarine Yuri, the Tang Empire realized the great military threat posed by the nuclear submarines of the Soviet Navy.

Zhang Meng convened a meeting in front of the emperor, and only high-ranking officials from the three armies of the Tang Empire attended, which was set as a top secret.

At the meeting, Zhang Meng demanded that all submarines of the Soviet Navy be monitored 24 hours a day and all terrain, focusing on monitoring the movements of nuclear submarines, and that one or two nuclear submarines of the Tang Army should be tracked and located near each Soviet nuclear submarine.

This order also applies to the U.S. Navy, which is to monitor all U.S. nuclear submarines as well as the movements of the Soviet Navy's nuclear submarines.

In addition, the underwater sonar array proved to be a very useful and necessary underwater listening system after this military operation to encircle and suppress the Yuri.

Zhang Meng attached great importance to it and allocated secret funds to support it, requesting all-terrain coverage and deployment in the coastal areas of the United States and the Soviet Union.

The Tang Army's underwater sonar array system can be divided into two parts, one part is the vertical sonar array system of the deep-sea channel, and the other part is the upward view sonar array system of the shallow sea coast. The former is deployed at a depth of 1,000 meters in the deep-sea channel, in a suspended state, in a longitudinal split network attitude, and each group is equivalent to the function of the towed sonar array system carried by the Tang Army's anti-submarine cruisers.

The latter is a semi-buried sonar array system on the continental shelf along the shallow sea coast, which is deployed in the natural extension area of the continental shelf, and is a stone structure on the surface to prevent detection by hostile countries.

Whether it is a deep-sea vertical sonar array or a shallow-sea upward sonar array, their function is similar to that of a towed sonar array system, replacing the water sonar buoy sensor dropped by anti-submarine aircraft, and it is even more undetectable and destroyed by enemy countries.

In fact, the United States and the Soviet Union have already begun to study this kind of underwater sonar monitoring device, but the science and technology of the two countries are not enough to solve a key problem, that is, the huge impact of the underwater thermosphere on underwater acoustic propagation. The Tang Empire broke through this technical threshold, enabling the deployment of the Tang Army's underwater sonar array system.

The Tang army then launched an operational plan codenamed "Jellyfish". A large number of warships and submarines were dispatched to secretly deploy an underwater sonar listening array system along the coasts around the United States and the Soviet Union under the cover of military exercises in the waters around the United States and the Soviet Union, and the system was changed to regularly send intelligence to the nearest Tang military base to comprehensively collect the sea conditions in the waters around the United States and the Soviet Union, and to know the situation of the entry and exit of US and Soviet submarines in and out of the ports in the palm of their hands.

When necessary, the Tang Army can directly extract the listening data of the sonar array, grasp the movements of the US and Soviet submarines at the first time, and make various countermeasures.

When the Tang Army deployed a 'jellyfish' listening system to the coastal areas of the United States and the Soviet Union on a large scale, the Soviet Navy was already in chaos. Lost contact with the strategic nuclear submarine Yuri for a long time. This made the Soviet side very nervous and uneasy. They don't know whether the Yuri nuclear submarine sank by accident on its own, or was sunk by the Tang Army, and the most worried thing is that it was captured by the Tang Army, in that case. The last strategic killer weapon of the Soviet Union will no longer be effective, and it will no longer be able to balance the Tang Empire.

Gorbachev was still triumphant before, and the Yuri floated in the waters near the mainland of the Tang Empire, which undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Soviet Union, but within a few days, the Yuri lost contact and was completely silent, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Gorbachev and the face of the Soviets, for the sake of face. Gorbachev had to announce a tight lockdown.

However, the families of the Yuri nuclear submarine could not tolerate it, and soon exposed to the media that the Yuri had not returned to the Soviet Union, and the matter immediately caused a sensation. The republics, which still had some hope for the Soviet Union, suddenly understood that the Yuri must have been wiped out because it touched the scales of the Tang Empire, this kind of thing is not understood by the civilians, but the politicians of various countries are the mirror in their hearts.

Despite Gorbachev's efforts to explain why, the entire Soviet Union was already panicking.

To add insult to injury, a rare June snowstorm broke out in the Soviet Union, and a sudden snowstorm fell in most parts of the Soviet Union, causing all the crops in the farmland to freeze to death, hundreds of thousands of people were frozen to death by the sudden cold and frostbite, and millions of livestock were buried and killed by the blizzard, which dealt a devastating blow to the Soviet Union's agriculture and animal husbandry.

The vitality that had just recovered from the Holodomor was once again in a desperate situation, and the Soviets were plunged into an unprecedented famine.

The hungry Soviets gradually rioted, smashing and looting everywhere, causing social turmoil in the Soviet Union, and Gorbachev sent troops to brutally suppress it, and finally gave the Tang Empire a pretext, and the Tang Empire began to impose comprehensive sanctions on the Soviet Union under the banner of human rights, which intensified the turmoil in the Soviet Union.

In order to obtain grain abroad, the Soviet Union was forced to give in to the Tang Empire, and Gorbachev was forced to accept the terms proposed by the Tang Empire to reduce strategic offensive nuclear weapons in order to reduce nuclear weapons as the Tang Empire's humanitarian food aid to the Soviet Union.

The Tang Empire will use the number and value of nuclear weapons reduced by the Soviet Union to calculate it into food, and then export it to the Soviet Union to solve the imminent crisis of famine in the Soviet Union.

At the same time, the Tang Empire also sent a note to the United States at the same time, demanding that the United States also join the nuclear disarmament treaty.

As a result, Tang, the United States, and the Soviet Union began comprehensive nuclear disarmament, and the three sides completed their nuclear disarmament plans within five years by reducing 5,000 nuclear weapons per year.

In fact, the Soviet Union no longer wants to compete with the Tang Empire for hegemony, so it will happily carry out nuclear disarmament and save military costs to restore people's livelihood, otherwise it will lose its country. The United States, on the other hand, thinks it is a little smart, they only reduce those nuclear weapons that do not pose any threat to the Tang Empire at all, and secretly develop them faster and more powerful, and they can change orbits in the air and make the Tang Empire invincible nuclear missiles, so that the United States can use the smallest nuclear weapons to deter the Tang Empire and maintain the current situation.

In this regard, the Tang Empire has a clear mirror in its heart, but it does not break it, so that the Americans obediently carry out nuclear disarmament and have their own ways to deal with them in the future.

Gorbachev was subservient to the Tang Empire, and was therefore forced to agree not to interfere with the Soviet republics' desire for independence by force, and to re-hold a referendum on whether the Soviet Union would disintegrate.

On New Year's Day 1982, the republics of the Soviet Union held a referendum on whether to maintain the Soviet Union, and all of them agreed to dissolve the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union collapsed in an instant, and Gorbachev stepped down as a result.

In this way, the world's original three-legged situation, in the end, the Soviet Union was the first to be dragged down, and only Tang and the United States remained.
