While the Americans were investigating which company was exporting multi-axis linkage CNC machine tools to the Soviet Union, the Soviets, the other protagonist of this incident, were also very distressed. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}
An Oscar-2 nuclear submarine costs hundreds of millions of dollars, this submarine, which has been in service for less than a year, can be said to be a born calf, and has a kind of momentum that is not afraid of tigers, but unfortunately, it is now unable to move.
The sea is relatively shallow, and the rescue ship cannot rescue it, and it cannot be detached by towing, so the K-132 has been in the Persian Gulf for many days like a symbol.
Because of negligence, because of command errors, caused an accident on a nuclear submarine worth hundreds of millions of dollars, this time, Yezhov made a big accident, and immediately after the entire submariner returned to the Soviet Union by plane, he was interrogated in isolation to investigate the negligence of their misdeeds.
Going out in a nuclear submarine and, as a result, dropping his weapons and returning by plane, is definitely a huge insult to the servicemen.
A few months later, Yezhov was expelled from the military and became an ordinary Soviet citizen, which is already very good, and it is said that whoever commits such a mistake will probably go to prison for several years. This is also the result of his successful breakthrough into the anti-submarine circle of the American aircraft carrier during the previous operation.
The Soviet personnel have always wanted to boldly carry out an underwater directional blasting, blow up the two reefs, and release the nuclear submarine, but the Iraqi side is resolutely opposed to it, because it will cause unforeseen consequences, directional blasting, who knows what kind of damage will be caused to the submarine, if it causes a nuclear leak. It was a serious incident, and it had nothing to do with any great friendship, but it completely rose to the perspective of people's security and national interests, even if Gorbachev personally intervened in this matter later, and Iraq replied so, he could not refute it.
After all. That's dangerous, but, in addition to this method. The USSR had run out of options.
While trying to figure out a way for the time being, the original submariners all returned to the Soviet Union by plane. The Soviet Union sent several transferred submariners to guard the submarine, which was the property of the Soviet Union and the pride of the Soviet Navy, and there must be no mistakes.
Warships are the moving territory of a country, and the Soviet Navy faithfully guards its territory. {{}} However, outside of the warship, it is not, so. In order to protect the submarine, the Iraqi Navy sent a missile boat to guard the nuclear submarine in turn, to prevent some onlookers and to prevent underwater infiltration by frogmen.
When the bricks find new solutions to their problems. That's all they can do.
For this underwater battle, the Soviet Union was the undisputed victor, and if Yezhov could successfully drive the submarine back, he would have received a naval honor, a battle badge. At a time when the Cold War had not entered the war, this kind of confrontation at sea was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
It's a pity that this incident also made a fool of the Soviet Union, the Soviet submarine ran aground, and just like that, I didn't have anything to do to stay in a strange bay, enjoying the sun bathing, and there were recliners underneath, but I couldn't move.
The Soviet Union has always ignored the accusations of the United States, saying that the Soviet Union sabotaged peace and rammed the American nuclear submarine underwater, and of course, the Soviet Union also issued a rebuttal, if it were not for the American submarine tracking the Soviet submarine, how could there have been a collision?
In order to avoid the occurrence of similar incidents, it is hoped that the American submarines will be far away from the Soviet Union, otherwise, it will be the responsibility of the United States to repeat such incidents!
This kind of war of words will never end, and the American people have not paid attention to the fact that it was the Soviet submarines that caused the trouble, and they are staring at which developed Western countries have exported high-quality processing equipment to the Soviet Union, which has seriously damaged the interests of the United States. {{}}
Finally, the United States zhèngfu quickly cracked this country that violated Batumi regulations and sold strategic-level industrial equipment, which is an island country! Toshiba Corporation!
After grasping the exact evidence, the Tokyo Jing Affairs Department of the island country gave the greatest cooperation and arrested Ryuji Hayashi of the Foundry Department in his hometown of Hokkaido, at this time, all the human and physical evidence were complete.
"Your Excellency, the main situation of the matter is what I just described." Michael, the head of the F.B.I.'s office in Tokyo, returned to Washington to give the report to the president in person, and at the same time, he knew that his chance for promotion had come again.
He finished recounting the whole thing, and the results had been investigated, but they had not yet been announced. {{}}
I see! President Reagan had the urge to let the bombers fly to the island nation and knock Toshiba to the ground.
Because of the greed for huge profits, 20 million US dollars of profits, the people of the island countries betrayed the United States and the entire Western world!
Because of the sale to the Soviet Union of several Jingmi processing equipment, which led to the improvement of the silence of the Soviet submarines, the islanders only earned 20 million dollars, but the United States and NATO have to upgrade all the underwater listening equipment, the cost will be hundreds of millions! Moreover, even if they have developed the latest underwater sonar equipment, there is no guarantee that they will be able to find these underwater ghosts at a long distance, so that their aircraft carriers will be in greater danger at any time!
It is impossible to overstate how this incident has done harm to the US Navy and to US strategic interests!
Although President Reagan did not have any expression on his face, those who knew President Reagan well knew that this time, President Reagan was absolutely angry. {{}}
Reagan is an actor, no matter when, he always looks peaceful and free, but now, he has such an expression, everyone is looking at the president.
"Have we announced the truth of this incident to the public?" President Reagan asked.
"No, we investigated Toshiba and arrested some people, and there has been a reaction in the media, but we have not yet announced the results of the investigation." Michael said.
"George, the truth of this incident will be announced immediately, and our people have the right to know who did this kind of thing." President Ronald Reagan said.
George was shocked, he is the secretary of state, and if he makes it public, then the weight of this investigation will be very heavy, but with the harm caused to the United States by this incident, it is normal for him to release it.
"Within Batumi, we need to ask the countries to deeply examine this matter, and this is a profound lesson." Reagan said.
The people of the island country are a group of profit-seeking businessmen, although they have no force, but in their minds, there is still a ridiculous idea of using commerce to conquer the world!
"Yes, this is a profound lesson, and we have to let Batumi know that it is absolutely not allowed to do so, and it will come at a great price." Vice President Bush added: "I propose that we impose a one-year sanction on Toshiba and impose a punitive tariff of 1,000 percent on all Toshiba exports to our country." ”
Levy penalty xing tariffs! Hearing Vice President Bush's remarks, Reagan's eyes lit up, and he was thinking about how to deal with this incident and how to impose sanctions on Toshiba, which must be strong enough.
This incident is just an introduction, the enterprises of the island country, in the rapid expansion, in the US market, flooded with a large number of island country manufacturing, which is absolutely abnormal, directly led to the US trade deficit, which is also the main reason for the current economic recession in the United States, the manufacturing industry in the United States, has been hit hard.
A one-year tariff of 1,000 percent, that is, completely closed the door of Toshiba's exports to the United States, and so many tariffs were levied, Toshiba's products will not have any competitiveness, and they will lose the huge market in the United States.
Moreover, the United States does this, and the island nation zhèngfu absolutely cannot say anything, but this alone is not enough.
"In addition to Toshiba, the supervision of the island country is also ineffective in this incident, and other companies in the island country also have corresponding responsibilities, and I propose that in addition to the punitive tariff imposed on Toshiba, all products entering our country from the island country will be subject to a 100% punitive tariff for a period of one month." Treasury Secretary James said.
With the help of this incident, it is necessary to carry out a severe blow to the manufacturing industry of the island country, let the island country know that the attitude of the United States is very important, and at the same time, for the brewing matter, there are more profound benefits, let them know that it is the United States that allows them to develop, and the United States can let the enterprises of the island country go bankrupt at any time!
For island countries, the United States is their largest export market, and although American goods are also exported to island countries, even if they give the island countries ten guts, they will never dare to take the same measures and impose excessive tariffs on American products.
In the world, only the most important thing is the naked interests. Everyone present knew in their hearts that such a decision by the United States was not only aimed at this incident, but more importantly, it was aimed at finding a breakthrough in the worsening economic situation in the United States.
The Secretary of the Treasury and President Reagan have already exchanged views in private, in order to make the US economy better, then, we should let the dollar depreciate, now, the US dollar against the RI and other major currencies continue to rise, which is very unfavorable to US exports, we should reduce the overvalued value of the US dollar to a reasonable range, so that the US economy can develop normally, and at the same time let zhèngfu get rid of the trouble of huge fiscal deficits.
To RIBEN, put political pressure on them to make economic concessions!
