Nikolayevich, commander of the Central Asian Military District, probably knew that the military's secret actions had caused Gorbachev's serious dissatisfaction, and Defense Minister Sokolov, who gave him the order, was about to resign. Nikolaevich had a strong sense of insecurity, fearing that the fire would spread to himself.

Of course, no matter how you think about it, as the head of the direct military district, Nikolayevich can't run. It was he who ordered the 32nd Army to attack, and it was he who covered all the military intelligence transmitted to the center, and maybe he was the biggest scapegoat.

This frightened Nikolayevich, and the treatment of him has not yet come down, but there is still the Chinese army in front of him, and he will not be removed from the position of commander of the military district easily.

It's just that he still has a problem on hand, not so long ago a person came to him, and it was also used by Sokolov to personally greet Nikolayevich, and the comrade commander remembered the words of the defense chief vividly: "Fulfill all his requests, Comrade Commander!" ”

Nikolayevich didn't understand what kind of status this funny-looking, scientist-like, melon-faced man had that would make Sokolov take care of him so solemnly.

The winter melon face never gives a high-ranking cadre like Nikolayevich a good look, and the momentum of coming and going when there is a big move makes Nikolayevich very angry.

"It's just a scientific researcher, where did you dare to support me as a high-level leader?" Nikolayevich always thought so.

Just when Nikolayevich was worried about his future, this short-eyed winter melon face reappeared in his office.

"Mr. Kirk, is there anything you can help me with?" Nikolayevich still greeted people with a smile, tried his best to appear to be very compliant with the requirements of his superiors, and also meant to be polite.

Who knew that Lu Daokirk never took other people's politeness as politeness, but took it for granted, and he waved his hand, as if an emperor was making the grass people flat, and Nikolayevich's face turned blue.

"Comrade Commander, of course I need your help, I came to Central Asia, a place where birds don't, but I have work to do, hehe, otherwise who wants to stay in such a ghost place." Kirk spoke unscrupulously, not in the slightest feeling that his words were offensive to Nikolayevich, who was stationed in the area.

Kirk quickly said to himself: "It is necessary to get that thing back, because of your stupidity and incompetence, you lost to the Chinese army, and I can only come in person, okay, now you give me all the troops that can be mobilized, let me teach the Chinese a lesson." ”

Listening to Kirk's unscrupulous mockery, Nikolaevich finally broke out, he slapped the table and pointed to the winter melon face in front of him: "You idiot with a problem with your head!" Do you think that I am a military commander who is you, your servant? Why do you accuse me, why do you want me to listen to you? Now the situation is different, the general secretary is furious, and the relevant people will be punished, and you still want to continue to provoke war? Are you crazy?! ”

Nikolayevich couldn't stop scolding, in fact, he was taking this opportunity to unify the negative emotions he had accumulated over the years, but the object he chose was a little problematic.

Kirk pushed the glasses under the bottle on the bridge of his nose and listened to Nikolayevich's scolding for about thirty minutes, which almost toppled the roof, while Kirk stood there unusually and made Nikolayevich scold as if he were a troublemaker.

Nikolayevich, who didn't know that he had made a big mistake, saw that Kirk didn't fight back, so he just stood there and let himself be counted, thinking that he knew that he was very powerful, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "You people who do scientific work, don't always think that your IQ is higher than others, politics, military and other professional fields, you can't understand the existence of a tendon, forget it, you don't understand, don't come to me again, hurry up and pack your things, return to Moscow, Who knows what the next change of heaven will become! ”

Kirk's face suddenly appeared with an elusive smile, which at first glance made people feel like an honest comedian, but when he felt deeply, he found that there was a trace of lifeless coldness in it, especially the cold light of Kirk's eyes hidden behind the lenses under the bottle.

"See you again, then, Comrade Commander." After saying that, Kirk glanced at Nikolayevich in the same way as a dead man, turned around and walked out of Nikolayevich's office.

Walking in the corridor of this building, Kirk touched his shiny forehead and said to himself: "I have to delay for a few more days, I hope the Chinese will not move things so quickly." ”

In the conference room of the Grand Kremlin in Moscow, Chinese Ambassador to the Soviet Union Li Zewang repeatedly stated China's position with a rigid and serious expression: "We express our strongest condemnation and grave dissatisfaction with the deliberate invasion of our territory by the Soviet Union, the massacre by the Soviet side of the cantonment reserve troops stationed on our Chinese border is ******, inhumane, despicable and shameless, and all the countermeasures we have taken against this are reasonable, legal and necessary, and China is unwilling to meet with the Soviet side in arms. However, we ask the Soviet side not to repeatedly attempt to trample on the dignity of our country, and to express its most sincere apologies to the Chinese side, and it is necessary for the two countries to embark on a path of peace, friendship, mutual benefit and common prosperity in bilateral relations, instead of repeatedly retreating, putting the people of both sides and even the world in danger! ”

After the negotiations began, it was unexpectedly difficult, and the Chinese diplomats who had won the battle naturally tended to be tough at the negotiating table, and even the two sides sat down and started negotiations under the mediation of the United States.

Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardnadze was the backbone of the young reformers raised by Gorbachev, and his speeches were also very Goethy; first of all, he did not admit that the Soviet Union invaded China's territory first, but constantly expressed his fault on the Chinese side: "We say that China's statement is completely unacceptable, because it is completely contrary to the facts. It was precisely the Chinese chariots that ran over our Soviet soil, and it was the Chinese surface-to-surface missiles that attacked our Soviet military bases, and judging from the scale of the conflict, it is clear that the Chinese side has been planning for a long time, using weapons and firepower beyond the bounds to carry out unjust attacks on our Soviet fighters. We strongly demand that the Chinese side immediately cease this erroneous act, unconditionally announce its surrender, release the innocent soldiers in your custody, and hand over all property that has been usurped by the Union of Soviet Socialist States. ”

US Secretary of State Schultz in the center felt a pain in his skull, and he himself could not see what was happening, but he knew that the Chinese alliance had won the battle, thousands of Soviet soldiers were captured, and several Soviet division-sized units were eliminated by the Chinese. And the Chinese side did launch a very large-scale attack, oh, the Chinese alliance called that ****.

The victory of the Chinese allies even inspired the United States and informed NATO sides. Military observers believe that it may be that the combat strength of the Soviet army is really very backward, and they have been weak and lazy since the beginning of the war in Afghanistan, and now they are directly let the Chinese clean up and their parents do not recognize it. Other scholars and experts believe that it was China that defeated the Soviet Union by successfully and steadily taking the road of military transformation and opening a new mode of warfare. The United States and NATO countries should humbly learn from China's successful experience and build a force that can defeat the Soviet Union.

Scholz is an American who is naturally happy to see the Soviets deflated, but he is nominally a mediator, so he can't be too biased, and of course the Soviets absolutely don't expect him to be fair. Now China and the Soviet Union are talking about each other and attacking each other, although the scene looks hot, but it is not as dangerous as the war a few days ago, and Scholz is not worried about wasting time, and is happy to sit in Moscow and watch the play.

Li Zewang listened to Shevardnadze's words, sneered in his heart, and still had a standard diplomat's default expression on his face, and said: "Our side cannot accept and express strong indignation at the Soviet side's statement of reversing black and white and making no distinction between right and wrong. If the Soviet side insists on such an unconstructive form of dialogue, we believe that there is no need for such a dialogue to continue. ”

Shevardnadze also nodded: "I also think so, the Chinese side should go back and reflect on its own practices, and when it finds the right way to face the Soviet Union, it will come back and talk." The threat in his words is that even if you have the upper hand for a while, it is just good luck, the Soviet Union is not an existence that you can compare with China, and to negotiate with the Soviet Union, you must first learn how to bend the knee and be humble.

Who knew that Li Zewang was definitely not easy to deal with, he snorted softly, and finally broke the expression on his poker face, and said, "Reflect on it or leave it to you." Hehe, as for the way to face the Soviet Union, I think the soldiers in the prisoner of war camps will be very clear. His words were also euphemistic with a straightforward response, and the meaning was clearly conveyed - in the face of the Soviet Union? We are well aware that we will defeat you and throw you into a prisoner of war camp.

Shevardnadze's face was full of carbon black, but they were the ones who lost the fight, and they lacked confidence if they wanted to drag it, and a sulk was bad in his stomach, he could only threaten: "Anyone who despises the Soviets will usher in their own destruction, China, it's better to become sensible yourself." ”

He then looked at Scholz and said, "Mr. Foreign Minister, I'm afraid you don't want a nuclear war either, right?" ”

Schultz was stunned, and the topic was brought up. However, what worries him the most is that if the Soviet Union is still obsessed with finding a way back, then the war between the two sides is very likely to continue, and the United States will also be involved. For a while, Scholz was pondering, should the Chinese compromise?

But looking at Li Zewang's firm expression, he shook his head and asked the victor to back down, this was not during the Sino-French War.
