The first update

If there is no problem with the IQ of the congressmen, Panetta's proposal will never be passed, and the old men of Congress will only think about how to maximize the interests of the United States, and they will never think of what kind of political position the United States will be in 20 years, nor will they think of what kind of terrible fleet in the Asia-Pacific region will be recruiting troops and contacting allies to threaten the United States' maritime supremacy.

So far, in the eyes of others, the person who proposed this plan seems to be simply betraying the United States, and it is completely possible to hang the brand of a conspiracy. It was then thrown to the CIA's censorship unit for interrogation. Although Panetta is far-sighted enough to realize the importance of strategic deployment of the sea, he has forgotten the most important thing, that joining the International Maritime Convention is equivalent to cutting some of the interests of the United States, and the big business behind Congress will certainly not tolerate this decision.

If President Mario wants Congress to pass a proposal, he must first test the tone of the congressmen, and of course the result is that the vast majority of congressmen disagree, some of them are neutral, and only a small number of them are interested in the United States joining the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

One of them, John Boehner, from Tennessee, threw the temporary reference proposal in the trash, and dismissively mocked it as the worst proposal he had ever seen, one of the worst. Selling out the interests of the United States to cater to other countries is a shame that they can figure out.

He also complained that the 12-nautical-mile principle and the economic exclusivity of the 200-nautical-mile coastline mean that American companies will be greatly restricted from engaging in certain gray industries that can generate huge profits, and that the United States is now the number one maritime power, and there is no need to be tied down by the rules of other countries.

When the situation is unfavorable to itself, it can accuse and demand that the other side engage in dialogue in accordance with the regulations governing the Sea Convention, and when the situation is favorable to itself, the United States will say that it has not signed the UNCLOS law and does not need to be held responsible. All in all, international conventions are more like a farce manipulated by the United States.

With regard to the attitude of the bill on the international convention of the seas, the Soviet Union and the United States were diametrically opposed, and Yanayev actively promoted the development of the agreement on the sea convention and better participated in the international affairs of the earth's oceans.

For Yanayev, on the premise of maintaining the original balance of Europe's strategic center of gravity, attention began to slowly tilt towards the Asia-Pacific region, and Europe, whose economy is still in a downturn, at least temporarily relieved Yanayev. In the same way, it has also slowly developed from the doctrine of military land power to the doctrine of sea power.

In the same way, the chain reaction brought about by the awakening of sea power is enormous, and today, when the number of the army is constantly being reduced, the navy still maintains a certain momentum of rapid development. Originally, the vine system built by Russia in history has a total of four satellites, namely two peony and two lotus satellites, which can monitor enemy targets such as aircraft, ships, and automobiles in real time. The coordinates of the enemy target will be delivered to the command post, where a real-time simulated map will be formed. In the event of war, these targets can be attacked with high precision. In fact, the US satellite reconnaissance system works on a similar principle, but it consists of nearly 100 KH11 and KH12 satellites that have been working in space orbit for about 20 years.

The current Soviet Union is not like Russia after the collapse of history, although the deployment of reconnaissance satellites was carried out at the same time in the nineties, but the latter did not launch its first satellite until 2007 due to lack of funds. At the very least, the Soviet Union could have launched its first reconnaissance satellite around July of this year. And then replace the previous myth - the Virgin Earth satellite system. After all, by 1996, only three US-P satellites were still in normal operation, and if all three satellites were dead, all the satellites of the Soviet Union's maritime satellite reconnaissance system would have failed, and its ability to monitor US aircraft carriers would have been completely lost.

This is also the reason why Yanayev has accelerated the construction of satellite systems, from GLONASS to the Vine system, on the one hand, the Soviet army is dismantling the army and eliminating old weapons and equipment, and on the other hand, it has not stopped developing the technology industry, striving to bring the Soviet army into the regular stage of modernization and informationization from the end of the 90s to the beginning of the 21st century.

In addition to the Minister of Defense and high-ranking figures of the General Staff of the Soviet Army, there was also the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, who was generally able to bring together these people, and there must be important matters to be announced.

Of course, they were still waiting for the exciting news that the Soviet government was preparing to increase the budget of the Ministry of Defense, build the vine system, and continue to deepen the Soviet detection of American aircraft carrier battle groups.

Smiryev smelled a hint of foreboding, as if Yanayev, who had promised not to engage in an arms race with the United States, had re-raised the topic of an arms race. So he was the first to express his opinion, "With all due respect, General Secretary Yanayev, why we should develop the means of monitoring US aircraft carriers while eliminating ships is unscientific in terms of reason. ”

"Comrade Smirev, since 1975, our Navy has established a four-dimensional three-dimensional monitoring network integrating land, sea, air, and space in order to prevent and attack the US aircraft carrier battle group. But at present, the Soviet Union's satellite reconnaissance system for American aircraft carriers is almost ineffective, right? ”

"Yes." "If there is another provocation of 1981, I am afraid that it will end as embarrassingly." The first two clashes were a matter of luck, when Hawthorn happened to monitor the US aircraft carrier battle group, and the other was when the United States took advantage of our weak military strength and deliberately flaunted their strength in front of us. Generally speaking, our Pacific Fleet of the Red Navy is still slightly inferior in strength. ”

Smirev's words made the marshals of the army present slightly stunned, and the success of the previous two battles made them mistakenly think that although there was a certain gap between the Soviet Navy and the United States, they did not expect that the successes of those two times were actually due to luck.

"Yes, that's why I'm calling you." "Now we know the gap between us and the Americans." This time, the Department of Defense's budget will make further improvements to our reconnaissance system to ensure that we can detect the location of the US aircraft carrier battle group at the first time, and then enter the deployment as quickly as possible, so as to form a deterrent against the aircraft carrier battle group and force the other side to leave at the first time. ”

Yanayev sighed, "The Asia-Pacific region in 1996 is not destined to be calm. ”

The Asia-Pacific region is not destined to be uneventful?

Everyone present felt an inexplicable pressure. (To be continued.) )
