The just-concluded joint operations exercise on the border has successfully made Serov once again brush up on his presence, as the biggest demon, the bloodiest executioner, the most cunning enemy, and the most ruthless villain of the Soviet Union. www.biquge.info He once again appeared on the pages of Western newspapers, and every once in a while he became the savior of these newspapers, and the comrade general political commissar said that it was not bad.

Serov, a representative of the hardliners of the Soviet Union who undermined peace in a sea of condemnation, has long been accustomed to accusations, after all, the peace-loving Brezhnev is already there, and his role must be that of Serov, a war maniac. Some newspapers were also kindly reminding the Soviets that peace was not easy to come by, that the efforts of First Secretary Brezhnev should not be undermined by Serov, and even reminded Brezhnev that the youngest member of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the USSR was very dangerous and should be eliminated as soon as possible......

First Secretary Brezhnev smiled at this and said that everything was under control. Serov knew about Brezhnev's reaction because he had already received a surveillance report in the morning. I have to say that Beria made too many preparations back then, and if he hadn't been killed suddenly, it would have been really scary, and now these preparations have been received by him, the current intelligence chief.

Serov attended the meeting because he was himself a member of the National Defense Council, and Ustinov attended the meeting because he was the secretary of the Central Committee in charge of army building, and the Soviet armament system and production progress were in his hands.

After listening to the opinions of the Ministry of National Defense, the two will make an assessment of the current economic scale of the Soviet Union and then draw up a production plan, and draw up a long-term plan while the US military is still eating rubber in Vietnam, and strive to maintain a balance of power with the United States in all respects for 10 years or more. The Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, including in any field, was still very optimistic about the current situation, believing that it was not a big problem to catch up with the military strength of the United States.

Three-quarters of the Soviet Army's strength was deployed in the Soviet Union's mainland and Eastern Europe, totaling 3.2 million troops, in addition to about 80 percent of medium- and long-range missiles, 70 percent of the naval forces, and 75 percent of the air force and air defense forces. These projections gave the Soviet Union a dominant position of military power in Europe. The military power of the USSR was significantly strengthened during the Brezhnev period. Its land forces have always been very strong.

This advantage is on the front line of confrontation in Europe, but in fact the military strength of the Soviet Union is still not the opponent of the United States, and the military strength of the United States in Europe is obviously not as significant as that occupied by the Soviet Union, and the military strength of Britain, France, and Germany is itself stronger than that of the allies of the Soviet Union, and the military strength of the Eastern European allies of the Soviet Union is supported by the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Air Force is a force that mainly competes for frontline air supremacy, and the Soviet Air Force is equipped with nearly 10,000 aircraft of various types, all of which are provided by the Soviet aviation industry department, and the Soviet aviation industry has a very high level of science and technology, and its scale ranks second in the world, and is composed of five aviation armies, including the 24th Air Army, the Fourth Air Army, the 46th Air Army, the 36th Air Army, and the 30th Air Army. The strategic bombing of the Soviet Aerospace Forces mostly replaced bombs with missiles with long-range attack capabilities.

As for the Red Navy, where the gap between the USSR and the United States was greatest, it exposed its weaknesses during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Since then, the Soviet Union has vigorously expanded its navy and built an armed force with ocean-going combat capabilities. Two years ago, during the Middle East War, the Soviet Black Sea Fleet sailed into the Mediterranean Sea and last year into the Indian Ocean. The Kirov-class strategic cruisers, which are catching up step by step, and have left a strong mark in the history of the Cold War, have already passed the argument and can start construction as long as Ustinov nods.

"Comrade Serov, I heard that the KGB has received a piece of information that the United States may use space for operations?" Ustinov has just arrived at the Ministry of Defense, and he has not yet said anything about the problems of the land, sea and air force, the strategic rocket forces, and has directly smelled the space field.

"Well, there's this information, but with current technology, it's unlikely." Serov simply admitted the existence of this information, and the KGB detectives heard the news that the United States was conducting research on the possibility of using outer space to conduct space warfare. This is the first time that the Soviet Union has received relevant information, why the United States started the Star Wars program, and the Soviet Union immediately accepted it with confidence, and believed that it was not a hoax.

It was because the Soviet Union had already gotten the news in this regard at the end of the sixties, so once Reagan's Star Wars program was launched, the Soviet Union, which had been doing relevant research for a long time, quickly reacted and immediately took over the Red Star operation plan, and then a number of monsters that appeared in the Soviet Union in the eighties, such as giant ground effect vehicles, Buran, An-225, and Energia launch vehicles, many preliminary work began to be prepared for a long time.

"Even if it is unlikely, this will not delay us from researching first, and the relevant technical reserves still need to be done. I will apply with the Presidium of the Central Committee and make relevant grants, and I believe that Comrade Serov will also support it. Ustinov asked noncommittally, apparently expecting this.

"Research is no problem, and I will definitely support it." Of course, this kind of secret research costs money, but if compared with the cost of the Star Wars project, it is still very cost-effective. There is a difference between having enough time to study some technologies slowly and having time pressure to study them at the urging of the central government, and the pressure and funding of the latter are much higher than the former.

As for that big fool Reagan, if he dares to propose a Star Wars plan in this time and space, Serov is ready to fight and fight with the United States in ten years to see who dies.

After expressing his gratitude, Ustinov began to talk about the topic, explaining in front of the old marshals of the Ministry of Defense that the Soviet Union's armament plan for the next few years was, in general, to strengthen the superiority of the land forces in Europe, to maintain the balance of power in the air force, to make up for the inferiority of sea power, and the short-term goal of the navy was to form a balance of power with the US navy.

For the military personnel of the Ministry of Defense, they are of course welcome, and they welcome any plan to expand the armament. It's not enough to be idle, these soldiers who experienced the Great Patriotic War have a purpose after the end of the war, that is, they will never let their descendants fight in difficult conditions, so even if the Soviet Union can't use more tanks, they will continue to produce there. A battalion of troops had 40,000 assault rifles in their warehouses to prevent them from being too late to produce when war came.

"I have no objection at all about the domestic military strength, but what we are pursuing is the overall strength, we in the Soviet Union want to confront the United States, we want to confront the United Kingdom, we want to confront NATO, East Asia, Japan, South Korea, the Middle East and Iran, can we do it ourselves? Isn't our homeland a little too tired? Serov stood up and said, "Except for Western Europe, the economic conditions are not bad, but there are still a few countries that are ironclad on the side of the United States, South Africa, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. On the side of Australia and New Zealand, I am ready to support Indonesia as an opponent, but Indonesia's current military strength does not have any advantages. ”

"Jura, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Ustinov's heart moved, and he asked in a speculative tone, "You mean, a large-scale arming of allies outside the Warsaw Pact?" Mobilize the forces of these countries and disperse the pressure on our country? ”

"Of course that's the case, is it possible that we are alone in the world?" Serov thought of the arrogant attitude of the Soviet military in history, and then changed his tone, "Of course, I don't doubt that you have the determination to do this, but why does our country have to work so hard?" We defeated the United States, and the benefits are all our own country? Can't they do something? These allies, such as Egypt, Iraq, and Syria, are well within themselves of building larger armies. ”

"Tapping into the potential of allies? What are the countries of Sudan and Iraq? Ustinov muttered to himself, "It's not impossible, after all, these two countries are also socialist countries." ”

"For example, in the Middle East, if we give Syria, Iraq, and Egypt three countries three countries each three thousand tanks, what will happen? 10,000 tanks, and then Israel will encounter a rather embarrassing situation, just like Western Europe, that is, they will dispatch all their air forces to shoot out all the missiles in stockpile, and the remaining tanks of the three countries can still rush into Israel and destroy this US spokesman in the Middle East with their backhand. Serov stood up and gestured with open arms, "Indonesia's surrounding environment needs a strong navy, we can help Indonesia build such a navy, anyway, the headache is the Americans, Australians, anyway, it's not us, I personally mean that all the allied armaments combined, with sixty percent of the strength of our Soviet Union, it is enough to deter the surrounding skeleton." ”

"That is, all our military alliances combined, if we have 100,000 tanks, they should add up to 60,000, we have ten cruisers, and they should likewise have six." Ustinov had to say that this idea was very bold, and in fact, the Soviet Union had a certain degree of defensiveness against all its allies: "But what if they feel that they don't need us anymore?" Isn't that the case in Yugoslavia? ”

"Anywhere in the world, it should be within our strategic considerations. We are interested in any piece of land, and if we confront the United States with this purpose, it will be a matter of time before we rely on our allies, right? Comrade Ustinov, now that our allies are developing at a very fast pace, we can't afford to take all the responsibility on our own, right? Serov was silent after speaking, this truth is not difficult to understand, the other party will definitely understand. (To be continued.) )
