These missiles pose the greatest threat to the United States, and although the two sides have begun to destroy them simultaneously, who can guarantee that they will be destroyed? You have to be in the presence of the other person!

At the same time, in order to ensure that there is no longer a new production capacity, the missile factories also need to be completely destroyed.

After President Reagan finished speaking, Gorbachev shook his head again and again: "No, how can this be?" We will do what we say we will destroy. ”

"Mr. Gorbachev, this is our last request." "If you can't even do that, then you don't have any credibility, we only trust our own eyes, and we can only confirm it if we see the missile destroyed," Reagan said. IMHO, we are not yet at the point where we can fully trust each other. ”

After Reagan finished speaking, the scene was cold, in fact, this is a question of dignity, the destruction of those missiles in the country would have been strongly opposed by the military, if it was destroyed in front of the Americans, this would almost be a slap in the face of the Soviets, they have always thought that the Americans are their enemies, but now, in front of the enemy, they want to destroy their own weapons, this is a great irony!

Time passed little by little, and some members of the Soviet delegation, almost all of them, wanted to leave, and it seemed that as before, no more agreements would be reached.

Originally, this was a trick, let the other party destroy it, and then you have the opportunity to hide part of it secretly and induce the other party to be fooled, but both sides are not stupid, who will take the initiative to destroy their own missiles?

Gorbachev tapped his hand on the table, listened to the watch on the wall walking around Gadagada, and finally, he made up his mind and said: "We can agree to an on-site verification by both sides, but so." We have a new requirement. ”

The Chinese side can agree that, after all, this verification is mutual, and while its own missiles are destroyed in front of the Americans, the Americans' missiles are also destroyed in front of its own side.

Gorbachev just watched xiàn. It's all on purpose, and he's going to make new demands!

"You stop the Star Wars program." Gorbachev said: "No more relevant realizations. ”

The Star Wars program is a program carried out by the United States at the initiative of President Reagan, mainly for anti-ballistic missiles.

At the same time, this anti-ballistic missile, like the Soviet Union, did not build an anti-ballistic missile system on the ground, but in space.

At the launch stage of a ballistic missile, a strategic missile at the launch and passage through the atmosphere phase is attacked using a conventional warhead or a directed weapon. Thereinto. Directed weapons include microwaves, lasers, high-energy particle beams, electromagnetic kinetic energy weapons, and more. The whole weapons program is mainly to use space technology to defend in outer space, and more distantly, even to establish a base on the moon to destroy those nuclear warheads that have already passed through the atmosphere. At the same time, a four-tier defense system will be established from launch to landing.

The United States plans to invest tens of billions of dollars in the development of these weapons.

In the sayings of later generations. Star Wars was a hoax from start to finish, a new arms race that dragged down the Soviet Union.

But. Judging from the actual results, this plan is a multi-level space defense plan consisting of a global surveillance, early warning and identification system, an interception system, and a command, control, and communications system, with space as the main base. It is a high-tech group that includes rocket technology, aerospace technology, high-energy laser technology, microelectronics technology, computer technology, etc. In this way, this plan is not just a military plan, but a plan. It is the greater goal of bringing about the development of a large number of high-tech clusters, so that the United States will continue to be in a leading position in the economic, military, and scientific and technological fields.

For example, the GPS navigation system, which was widely used in later generations, was derived from the first six or seventy years of meridian navigation satellites. But it was in the American Star Wars that really developed. It is an important part of Star Wars.

The United States has a significant advantage in high technology, and although the Soviet Union has also developed a navigation system, the gap between the Soviet Union and the United States is widening due to its poor accuracy, limited satellite lifespan, and backwardness in microelectronics.

Therefore, Gorbachev used this as a bargaining chip in order to get the United States to abandon this plan, so as to narrow the gap between the Soviet Union and the United States.

Hearing Gorbachev's words, President Reagan immediately shook his head resolutely: "No, what we are talking about now is the issue of INF, not our other plans, as for our Star Wars program, we need to talk about it separately, and we can't put it together with this INF treaty." ”

Of course, Reagan will not agree, and he will rely on this plan to improve his country's scientific and technological capabilities, and at the same time drag down the Soviet Union, especially since this plan was proposed by Reagan, and as a result, only two years later, Reagan was canceled for negotiations, and those military and universities that have already invested in research and development have to scold Reagan for being bloody.

Reagan resolutely opposed, which made Gorbachev also stunned, just now his own side has repeatedly made concessions, here, if he gives in again, it will also appear that he is too incompetent, and he has to press the other party in momentum.

Thinking of this, Gorbachev said: "In essence, these are the same, we are reducing nuclear weapons in order to prevent an arms race, and your country launched the Star Wars program in order to achieve absolute superiority in a nuclear war, why can't we talk about it together?" This is our last condition, if you do not agree, then our plan can no longer be carried out. ”

"No, for us, these are two completely unrelated, if we abandon Star Wars, are you going to destroy the galoshes deployed around Moscow?"

Rubber galvania is the Soviet Union's anti-missile system, and it is also the world's first anti-missile system to defend against US ballistic missile attacks.

In later generations, the United States has been implementing the anti-missile system, but it is full of difficulties, but the Soviet Union, in the sixties, succeeded in developing it, and the Soviet leader at that time proudly declared that we had shot down a fly in space.

It's a pity that at that time, it was just putting gold on their faces, and this Soviet anti-missile system was a nuclear bomb against a nuclear bomb.

The biggest advantage of ballistic missiles is their speed, and the final stage can easily exceed more than 10 times the speed of sound, leaving a very short time for interception, and the United States has been quite advanced in science and technology, but it has repeatedly failed in interception, because it cannot quickly move to a sufficient distance to shoot down the opponent in a similar way of impact.

The Soviet Union, on the other hand, used nuclear bombs, even at a distance of several hundred meters, and an explosion of a nuclear bomb was enough to destroy the opponent's nuclear bomb. This method is quite domineering, but it is a pity that the United States will not use it.

Because when intercepting, it is equivalent to detonating a nuclear bomb on top of one's head, even in outer space, this is quite dangerous, if it is not good, even oneself will be ruined, even if the interception is successful, those radioactive fragments will splash down on their own territory, which is not a good way at all.

Even so, with rubber galoshes, the Soviets were still quite proud, Reagan said this, that is, not to give Gorbachev face, Gorbachev could only stand up very amicably: "I regret that we did not reach any agreement in this negotiation. ”

Reagan also stood up: "I also regret that we have tried. ”

The hands of both sides were clasped together, this is the demeanor that the political family should have, even if they quarreled just now, they must express friendship again.

"I have a small request." Gorbachev said: "I hope that you will urge the Pakistani side to return all our prisoners of war in Afghanistan, which is a firm step for peace between the two sides." ”

At the end of the talks, Gorbachev suddenly mentioned Pakistan, and in the face of such small demands, Reagan expressed friendliness: "We can try, and we hope that the war in Afghanistan will end soon." ”

Prisoners of war of the Soviets!

In the war in Afghanistan, the Soviets and the Afghan guerrillas were in a red-eyed fight, and neither side would keep the other's people as prisoners of war at all. The Soviet army often talked about slaughtering entire villages to get revenge on the Afghan guerrillas, and once the Soviet soldiers fell into the hands of the Afghan guerrillas, the only hope was to die a minute earlier.

However, in repeated air battles, the Free Afghan Army captured some of the pilots who parachuted out of the Soviets, although these pilots were abused a little, they are still alive, in order to deal with domestic complaints, Gorbachev hopes to get these people back, give an explanation to the country, and at the same time lay the groundwork for himself to end the war in Afghanistan, the war is cruel, how many wives have been separated, and it is even more wrong to carry out a war that has nothing to do with his side.

At the same time, in the later period, with the regularization of the Free Army of Afghanistan, they have begun to abide by the Geneva Conventions, and at the same time, the more important factor is that with the development of the mining industry in Afghanistan, the Afghan Free Government needs more labor, so the small number of prisoners of the ground forces later, instead of being tortured and killed, rushed to open mines and serve as coolies.

Gorbachev wants to bring these people back through negotiations, and at the same time, this kind of negotiation cannot be secret, if he talks directly with the Afghan Free Government, and the talks are successful, it will inevitably make people in the country suspicious, and now there is gossip that the Soviet troops stationed in Afghanistan have secretly reached an agreement with the Afghan Free Government, and if they make direct contact, it will be a bit ostentatious.

So, on this occasion, Gorbachev proposed to Reagan, through Guò Reagan, to Pakistan, and then to the north of Afghanistan, so as not to arouse any suspicion.

However, the return of prisoners of war is usually after the end of the war, and now Gorbachev's request is also a signal that the Soviet Union is planning to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan. (To be continued......)
