Chapter 866: International Democratic Alliance

The missile was a next-generation replacement for the Soviet Granite anti-ship missile, but it did not go well. Historically www.biquge.info until 1986, when the experiment was stopped, the success rate was only 50 percent. While theoretical data is absolutely all-encompassing, the sheer unreliability is enough to make people scratch their heads.

The establishment of an independent system by the Soviet Union and the-for-tat confrontation with the United States really made Soviet scientists feel a lot of gray hair. The success rate in theory is only half, and I don't know what percentage to reduce to in practice.

But as long as research is not interrupted, Serov believes there is always hope. Anti-ship missiles are not necessarily completely incapable of fighting carrier-based aircraft, and there is no such thing as a completely absolute thing in the world. The Kirov-class battlecruisers will be equipped with next-generation anti-ship missiles in the future, and will undertake the task of confronting the new generation of US aircraft carrier battle groups.

Marshal Ustinov, who is now focusing on the next generation of weapons of the Soviet Union. Including the new generation of equipment for the space and the army, navy and air force, and what Serov knows, almost all the weapons developed by the Soviet generation have died abruptly. Including a new generation of tanks for the Army to replace the T80 tank, a new generation of anti-ship missiles for the Red Navy, and a new generation of fighters for the Air Force. It can only exist in the imagination of military fans in later generations. Unlike another looming Nazi black technology in later generations, almost all of the black technology of the Soviet Union has produced experimental weapons, not simply existing on drawings.

Of course, the General Political Commissar is a military blind, but who said that a military blind can have curiosity. He wanted to see the Ulyanovsk sailing on the sea, and to see the thousand-kilometer anti-ship missiles in service. See the Soviet stealth fighter, not the deception that Russia barely made.

It is a pity that his rebirth did not bring any benefits, and there was no place to help Soviet weapons specialists in this matter. It can only provide some spiritual strength, hoping that Soviet scientists will suddenly open their minds and overcome the relevant technical difficulties.

This possibility is almost equal to none! So Serov can only do one thing well, pay money, and give weapons experts a good research environment, express the importance of the party and the state to the defense industry, and there will be nothing left.

The weather in London this month is definitely not good, but the arrival of US President Ronald Reagan still gives the whole of Britain a shot in the arm, and the once sun-setting empire is now in great need of support. To tell the truth, Britain's continuous decline has made the Labour Party take the blame, which is completely a crime, Britain has lost its colonies all over the world, and it is simply unable to support the continued existence of the Grand Fleet with its own strength. Even if the Conservative Party remained in power, it would not be able to contain Britain's decline.

Every Englishman did not expect that Britain would not even be able to win against Argentina, which had declined. At this time, it was not advisable to put the blame on the previous government, and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, as the initiator of the war, was under tremendous pressure.

The person directly responsible for any war is the current government, and this is the dilemma that Thatcher faced. And at this difficult moment, US President Ronald Reagan happened to be at the right time to be at Margaret Thatcher's side.

Reagan's arrival gave Thatcher great spiritual strength, and in an interview with all the British people live, Reagan looked serious and insisted that the United States would stand with Britain, emphasizing the importance of the special relationship between Britain and the United States. And the accusation of Argentina for starting a war spread to the whole world, and Latin American countries expressed their dissatisfaction, believing that the United States had betrayed its attributes and stood with European countries.

The Latin American countries have forgotten that these countries as a whole cannot be compared with the entire Western European countries, and even if they are allies, they must be divided into three, six, nine, and so on, Argentina considers itself an ally of the United States, while Britain is a de facto ally of the United States. By this time, the protest march in Argentina had done nothing more than to break a few pieces of glass in the US embassy.

At the same time as Reagan's visit to Britain, the British Expeditionary Force, with the support of the U.S. Navy and Air Force, landed on the Falklands in the final phase of the Falklands War. Of course, at the same time, in the onlookers of the Soviet Red Navy. Since the sinking of the British aircraft carrier, the U.S. fleet has disengaged and moved into a safe distance, and at the same time has increased its naval forces in the Falklands waters.

In all fairness, it is basically impossible, if not allowed, that the Soviet Red Navy wants to use anti-ship missiles to penetrate the US defense and control network and replicate the results of the British task force. This could only happen unless Moscow ordered the Red Navy to fight a war that would end with us.

In order to defeat the Soviet Union, Reagan traveled thousands of miles to London to help the current British government tide over the difficulties. The United States knows exactly what the Labor government is like, and it is nothing more than that the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union has nothing to do with Britain, and the United States is responsible for everything. Reagan wanted to gather forces around the world to defeat the Soviet Union, and that would certainly not allow the Labor Party to come back to power.

This requires not only the strength of the United States alone, but also the strength of the world. Relying on the United States alone, Reagan was really afraid that the United States would not have enough power, and if the Soviet Union was not enough to pose a threat to the United States, he would still use such a rush to promote his own ideas, and it was precisely because of the strong strength of the Soviet Union that Reagan had an anti-Soviet policy, otherwise he was afraid that he would not have a chance in the future.

Reagan brought great sincerity this time, especially when Margaret Thatcher was in a difficult period, of course, this is certainly not for nothing, and the special relationship between Britain and the United States cannot be provided free assistance, and the United States does not have free genes. The United States and Britain share this in the same vein, and even brothers must settle accounts.

A broad united front against the Soviet Union was something that Reagan had been brewing in his heart for a long time, and it happened that this time Britain was in difficulty, and Reagan could more easily achieve his goals, which was why Reagan was willing to come and be an angel in person.

At 10 Downing Street, Reagan and Margaret Thatcher had a separate meeting, a secret meeting that easily reminded us of the Munich conspiracy, and in fact it was much the same, except that this time it was not against Czechoslovakia, which had no ability to fight back, but against another superpower, the Soviet Union, which was putting a lot of pressure on Western Europe.

"A broad alliance of the free world, strengthening the ties of the free world and jointly dealing with the Soviet problem, is something that needs to be done now!" Both the United States and Britain were native speakers of English, and Reagan and Thatcher communicated largely without barriers. Reagan's reforms had been carried out, the most dangerous time had passed, and now he was beginning to set his sights on the Soviet Union, his real opponent.

Of course, the current reform of the United States is far from being successful, and it would be better if other countries could sacrifice their own interests to ensure the prosperity of the United States. Now Reagan is not in a hurry, he still needs a year to see the effect at home, if the effect of the reform is not good, then he has to pick a fat sheep to kill, is it Japan? Or the Federal Republic of Germany? Or do you kill both? Isn't the United States supporting these two countries just to do so one day?

"Britain should reassert its international influence, and I am of course very supportive of President Reagan's idea!" Margaret Thatcher thought about it for a moment and said that if Britain could not win the Falklands War, it would be a devastating blow to national self-confidence, and it was impossible to support American policy in such a situation, so the immediate question was still to win the Falklands War.

Of course, Margaret Thatcher is bargaining, compared to being a-stirring stick, Britain is not targeting anyone, but looking at the whole world and saying that all countries are rubbish, now that she knows Reagan's purpose, she must ask Reagan to come up with quid pro quo to ensure Britain's interests, which has nothing to do with the personal training of the two, it is purely a negotiation between countries and countries.

What's more, the personal relationship between the two is the same thing, after a short period of contact, excluding the intimate part shown in the outside world, Reagan and Margaret Thatcher both believe that the other party is not a good person to contact.

"With the help of the United States, Britain can certainly win this war, and this is also a good opportunity to show NATO unity." The confrontation continues, and Reagan is also putting pressure on Margaret Thatcher by talking about things within the framework of NATO.

On the evening of Reagan's visit to England, British troops landed on the beach in the waters of St. Calus, on the north shore of East Falkland. About 4,000 men from the 3rd Marine Brigade and the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the Parachute Regiment were disembarked by landing vessels; and succeeded in establishing a safe beachhead the next day. Brigadier General Thomson planned to occupy Darwin and Goose Green first, followed by Port Stanley.

The British 2nd Parachute Battalion, numbering about five hundred, approached and attacked Darwin and Ego, which were defended by the Argentine 12th Infantry Regiment. Fierce fighting continued from night to the next day, and in the end the British lost seventeen men, the Argentines fifty-five, and another 1,000 and fifty prisoners.

"Argentina is also called the Army? What is this battle loss ratio? If such a thing had happened in the Red Army, the commander could have been killed on the spot, accused of being an imperialist agent. "Marshal Ustinov, Minister of Defense, felt that he had to re-evaluate the Falklands war, and the two countries were looking to see who had what effect?

"Huh? Well! Serov vaguely agreed, absent-mindedly, he wanted to know what Reagan and Thatcher had discussed, and always felt that this matter had something to do with the Soviet Union, and it was by no means a further step in the special relationship between Britain and the United States, and there were other things.

But the private meeting between the two, he really couldn't get the news, as an intelligence director, this kind of knowing that the other party's secret meeting was aimed at him, but he couldn't know the specific mood, which made Serov very uncomfortable.

What exactly did the United States and Britain brew in 1982 and 1983? The spy leader unfolded his imagination, considering that the United States unswervingly supported Britain as well as European countries, a Reagan report in the British newspaper made him solve the doubts in his heart, squinted his eyes and said, "International Democratic Alliance? ”
