From the perspective of the Soviet Union's entire Far East strategy, when the island country was occupied, the Soviet Union gained access to the Pacific Ocean, and Vietnam's importance has greatly declined, moreover, the Soviet Union has greatly eased the contradictions with China, and the idea of using Vietnam to balance China has also faded.

"So, let's let Huaxia do it?" Andropov's expression was quite natural, for China it was a serious provocation, and for the USSR it was insignificant, after all, the USSR could already face the entire Pacific Ocean, and the next strategic point for the USSR was Hawaii, and definitely not Vietnam.

Marshal Ogarkov wanted to say something, but seeing the expression of the general secretary, he knew that the general secretary had clearly made a decision on this matter.

"Since all the comrades have no opinions, then we will reply to the Huaxia side." Andropov said, looked at Andrei who was sitting in the last seat, and said: "Andrey, what is your opinion?" ”

Andrei's strategic insight has always been very deep, and now, Andropov's deliberate cultivation of Andrei is also obvious to everyone. Now, hearing Andropov's question, everyone's eyes turned to Andrei.

Andrei just now, his brain began to work sharply, this incident, it is inappropriate to meddle in the lessons of China, after all, in history, the Soviet Union and China were at loggerheads, and when the Soviet Union instigated Vietnam, China dared to let go of the war, let alone now! If this incident is allowed to happen and ignored, it will be too unimportant for the Soviet Union, a big country, to be unimportant, after all, Vietnam still recognizes the Soviet Union as the big brother.

How to translate various events into tangible interests for the USSR is the most important thing!

"I think we can use this opportunity to get a military base in Vietnam." Andre said: "This is a good opportunity for us, Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam, what do you think? ”

Cam Ranh Bay! An important military port and naval base in southeastern Vietnam. This harbor is 17 kilometers inland, and is embraced by two peninsulas to form a gourd-shaped inner and outer bay, the inner harbor of Cam Ranh and the outer harbor of Pingba. It is located on an important waterway connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and is of great strategic value. Moreover, the water in the military port is so deep that it is possible to moor aircraft carriers!

Historically, after the French occupied Indochina, it was opened up into a large commercial port, where warships could also be refueled as a berthing point for warships, and at this time, Cam Ranh Bay was not a military port.

Later, the Russo-Japanese War broke out, and the Second Pacific Fleet arrived in Cam Ranh Bay at the end of September 1904 to recuperate and replenish coal, where hundreds of warships of the Russian Baltic Fleet had gathered. 2 months later went to sea to Vladivostok. Tsarist Russia was the first to use Cam Ranh Bay as a large military port.

Then, 35 years later, the French began to build a naval base here. Until World War II, Cam Ranh Bay was occupied by the island nation and became a base for its invasion of Malaya and the Dutch Indies.

After the end of World War II, France re-entered. Later, the United States expanded Cam Ranh Bay Port out of its own strategic considerations, but unfortunately ended up making wedding clothes for others.

Historically, Cam Ranh Bay was handed over to the Soviet Union in 79 years after the Soviet Union and Vietnam signed the Soviet-Vietnamese Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation with Vietnam with the nature of a military alliance, and as one of the important conditions for the Soviet-Vietnamese alliance, Vietnam handed over the Cam Ranh Bay base to the Soviet Union in 79, and the two sides signed a 25-year lease.

And now, due to Andrei's crossing, Andropov's rule, and the great successes of the Far East, which led to a decline in the importance of the Vietnamese side, this treaty, which has not yet been signed, has not yet been signed.

Therefore, Andrei proposed Cam Ranh Bay, a strategic location, to take advantage of this opportunity to come over from the Vietnamese!

"If we occupy Cam Ranh Bay, we can get a suitable supply base when our major fleets are mobilized, and aircraft carriers can be stationed there, so our warships will have a good supply point when they are transferred from the Northern Fleet to the Pacific Fleet! Moreover, Vietnam's location is important, and if we deploy troops in Cam Ranh Bay, we can directly control the Strait of Malacca, the passage of the Pacific and Indian Oceans! Andrei said.

Strait of Malacca! This is the world's famous golden waterway, half of the merchant ships pass through here every year, if the Soviet Union deploys a navy in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, it can directly control this golden waterway!

"Moreover, we have achieved a garrison in Cam Ranh Bay, and we can also face the Philippines across the sea, and the United States is now fighting with the Philippines, so we can just continue to balance the United States." Andre explained one by one, and everyone present couldn't stop nodding.

"In the past, if we wanted to get Cam Ranh Bay directly, Vietnam would definitely put forward all kinds of conditions, but now, we let Huaxia teach Vietnam a lesson, when the Chinese army invades Vietnam, the Vietnamese will definitely panic and come to us for help, and when the time comes, we can use Cam Ranh Bay as a condition and ask them to lease Cam Ranh Bay to us for a rent of 100 rubles a year."

Andrei's words made everyone smile, this is simply to let the Vietnamese monkeys bleed, this method is ruthless enough, spicy enough, in line with the style of the Soviet Union!

"At the same time, we can't simply agree to reply to the Chinese side now, we have to reiterate our position, let the Chinese side teach the Vietnamese monkeys a lesson, we will not interfere, but the Chinese side must take North Vietnam as the boundary, and we can't bulldoze the whole of Vietnam at once, and moreover, we want to get Vietnam's Golden Blue Bay base." Andrei continued.

Now since Huaxia has taken the initiative to inform the Soviet Union that it wants to teach Vietnam a lesson, then it is also necessary to inform Huaxia that you can teach a lesson, but you can't go too far, and you must let Huaxia know that the condition for the Soviet Union to let go is that the Soviet Union wants to occupy Jinlan Bay!

After all, Vietnam is too close to the South China Sea in China, and for China, it has always regarded it as its own territory, and the Soviet Union wants to garrison troops in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, and China will definitely be unhappy, just take advantage of this opportunity to put forward this condition!

Beating one's own little brother and watching it by oneself is of course not possible, the Soviet Union has requirements.

Now, China's main focus is still on land, and the importance of the South China Sea is not as urgent as that of later generations, so Andre is very sure that China can win under these conditions, so it can just kill two birds with one stone! (To be continued.) )
