The second more

After the events in Cyprus, Turkey was the only country that was unwilling. The www.biquge.info was fooled by the United States, and then suffered a war with the Soviet-backed Greek regime over Cyprus, so that no one could bear it. Maziel's anger doomed him to make both the United States and the Soviet Union pay the price.

Mazyer's targeted retaliation was chosen in Syria and Iraq, and for Turkey, it was also an opportunity to expand its influence in the Middle East. Iraq is still at war, and Syria is barely able to maintain stability under the protection of Russia. But through the situation in Iraq, the Assad family has begun to have a kind of uncontrollable domestic turmoil, coupled with the CIA's turmoil, Mazyel also believes that this is the best time to make the Middle East worse.

After all, after killing these countries, it is possible that Ottoman Turkey will replace the Arab world as the new leader of the Islamic world.

At a time when Maziel was secretly plotting a bold new attempt, Moscow was entering a relatively calm external environment. Having solved the Turkish problem, Yanayev turned his attention to the Black Sea Fleet. Through this confrontation in the Black Sea, Yanayev discovered a problem, which was also reflected by Yazov and Smiryev at the same time, that the air defense capability of the Black Sea Fleet tended to be saturated, and he even believed that the Black Sea Fleet no longer needed one more Glorious-class cruiser to be placed in the Black Sea Fleet, and that the new Glorious-class could be transferred to the Pacific Fleet to improve the combat strength of the surface fleet in the Pacific.

When Turkey realized that the surface fleet was not enough to deal with the Black Sea Fleet, in addition to introducing eight Perry-class ships, Turkey was also stepping up arms purchases with the United States to purchase new attack submarines.

In this case, it became especially important to strengthen the anti-submarine capabilities of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet. To this end, before the meeting of the Ministry of Defense, Yanayev also discussed with Yazov and Smiryev about the development of the Black Sea Fleet.

"Regarding the construction of the Black Sea Fleet, I have a proposal here. The Yazov was remodeled to extend its service until about 2020, ensuring the size of the anti-submarine fleet of the Red Navy. And we have exactly in our hands a set of proposals for the Nikolaev shipyard to build a new Kara-class anti-submarine ship for us. ”

"Why was the Kara-class anti-submarine ship chosen? The Kara-class anti-submarine ships were mainly built in the 70s, and due to the limitations of technical conditions, they could only complete a single anti-submarine combat mission, and could not have comprehensive combat capabilities like the new cruisers after the 80s. Its armament has also begun to fall behind, and it is becoming more and more difficult to compete with the new generation of nuclear submarines. "Yazov is a little puzzled, according to this situation, shouldn't it be to speed up the training of new anti-submarine ships for the next generation?

However, Yazov still considered the problem from the perspective of military personnel, and it was no longer possible for the Soviet Union to spend a large amount of budget on military spending as it did at the beginning, and now the Soviet fleet was to maintain the existing strategic position. Let the United States do such a thing as striving for global hegemony, and the Soviet Union will at most fan the flames behind and disrupt the layout.

Yanayev replied, "That's why he needs to improve, after all, now the Black Sea Fleet has not yet succeeded a new generation of anti-submarine ships." And the 1134B has to be improved, because it is the fastest large anti-submarine ship in the world, which can catch up with any submarine in the world. And the improvement of the seven Kara-class ships also somewhat relieved the pressure on Turkey to try to buy ships of the type to threaten the Soviet fleet. ”

"The balance between the fleets is the most important thing. For example, the current Black Sea Fleet has exposed its weaknesses, so we need to find a way to make up for it. "When the time comes, Comrade Smiryev will be asked to go to the Black Sea Shipyard and meet our old friend Comrade Makarov." ”

The Black Sea Shipyard has returned to its usual busyness after the Great Depression of 1991. Steel is everywhere, and the busy figures of the workers give a sense of returning to the 60s when naval ships were being built. At that time, the Black Sea Shipyard completed the construction program of all seven Kara-class ships at a high rate of almost one per year.

In his office, even Makarov was a little surprised by Smirev's visit, after all, such a thing usually does not require the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy to personally intervene. But as an old friend of Makarov, Smiryev was also obliged to disclose this information to him in advance.

When Smiryev told Makarov about the Kremlin's idea of improving the ship, he also had some doubts about Yanayev's plans.

"The Ochakov was irreparable after the fire in 1993, and the Nikolaev and Tashkent were terminated for modernization, so what does Moscow now think about resuming the modernization of six ships?" Then we may replace all the previous modifications, which is a lot of money for Moscow. ”

However, Makarov did not know that the last thing the Soviet Union lacked now was money, and the Soviet Union had entered a mode of crazy accumulation of wealth since the Yanayev era. No longer wasting aid to support the so-called red-globalized revolution, when the former allies wanted to ask the Soviet Union for arms aid? Okay, pledge it with your local minerals or economic lifeline. Think about it with your brain, without spending money, will you become stronger?

Yanayev taught the Soviet government one thing, and that was a crash course in capital.

However, this should not be the redistribution of property advocated by the mentor Lenin.

"The problem of money can be ignored by the director Makarov, we can solve the problem. General Secretary Yanayev asked me to bring you this drawing, and he said that he would definitely be interested in the contents of this drawing, Director Makarov. ”

The Soviets were also much more emboldened to speak after the spree of making a fortune in Cyprus, and Smiryev pushed the drawings in front of Makarov. When Makarov opened the drawing, he was stunned for a moment. He slowly looked at the drawing, and became silent, but there was an unusual light in his eyes.

"How's it going, Comrade Makarov?" When Smiryev saw Makarov's expression, he knew he had made the right bet.

Makarov nodded, "I wonder what exactly this Kara-class anti-submarine ship modification plan was proposed?" It's really ...... It's shocking. ”

"General Secretary Yanayev." Smiryev gave an answer that Makarov could not believe. (To be continued.) )
