Chapter 488 488 Blackmail Nuclear Submarines
"It's better to underestimate that otherworldly person, worthy of being an opponent that the master also values. This is no ordinary contest at all, it is clearly a mountain to attack our people with sticks! Leopold's unnaturally pale face couldn't help but show a wry smile. He did not expect that the war would progress like this, from the launch of the air raid by the Chinese Air Force to the present, five days now, the Soviet and Russian defense lines in the Ural-Volga are like paper paste, and they have been broken through by the Chinese on all fronts.
Originally, the defense line that could most stumble the coalition forces was broken through, so on the Great Plain of Eastern Europe, where there was no defense line behind, coupled with the overstretched strength of the Soviet and Russian troops, it is likely that the 12-nation coalition army could advance more than 100 kilometers a day, and they would be able to reach the city of Moscow in about a little more than a week.
Leopold's first intended nuclear weapons deterrence strategy has also not succeeded, Moscow has completely lost control of its grassroots nuclear armaments, and even Leopold does not know where the previous missile launchers have gone. The Otherworldly Man was quick and accurate as soon as he struck, directly dismantling Moscow's communication capabilities, and then smashing their most dangerous weapon.
Now that Makashev knew nothing about what was happening, Leopold put him under de facto house arrest, and the generals and officials who were loyal to Makashev had been executed by Leopold, and now Soviet Russia was effectively the remnants of the Mystic Palace. Leopold wanted to ask Kirk what to do, but Kirk ignored the kid and casually said that he didn't care how to toss him.
"After all, are you still an outcast? But from the very beginning, there was already the consciousness of an outcast! Leopold sighed, he was still very unwilling, unlike Kirk's madness, Leopold was very hungry for power, today he controlled most of West Russia, and it was supposed to be a good time, but he did not expect that the hateful alien man would end his glory.
Unlike Kirk, the true master of the Mystic Palace, Leopold's black technology power is basically limited to those of the Safin Brigade. Kirk took away all the scientific research team of the Mysterious Palace, and those who couldn't be taken away were buried alive or used as guinea pigs for experiments. Leopold could not make any finished product, and the Safin Brigade was the only one for him.
By now, Leopold knew very well that he had no chance of defeating the otherworldly man that Kirk was afraid of. There were so many chips dropped by the Otherworldly people this time that Leopold couldn't help but think how happy he would be if he had such a strong power.
There are not many options available to him, nuclear weapons are no longer available, and he cannot withdraw himself, only to fight well with the Safin Brigade in Moscow. Leopold also vaguely felt that all this was what the haunting master of the mysterious palace wanted to see. Throwing Leopold, the troublemaker, attracted the attention of the Otherworlders, and asked him to raise a large army to attack, and then let the Safin Brigade try to fight the Otherworld's troops to see how powerful the Otherworld's troops were.
To put it bluntly, this is a temptation by Kirk, but Kirk, who does not follow the usual path, even has to be so high-end and high-grade that he may casually make humans and the earth extinct once. The albinism's melancholy is nothing more than the fact that he was once so close to the supreme power he dreamed of, but he forgot that he was nothing more than an abandoned pawn. No matter how high the kite flies, as long as the string is cut, it will eventually land.
――――
In St. Petersburg, the government-in-exile of the Russian Federation, Yeltsin was worried about the officials who were still trapped around him. China intervened in the Russian civil war with a twelve-nation coalition, giving the Russian Federation a new opportunity to regain power, but the Chinese definitely did not have any good intentions.
The division of the Black Sea Fleet has spread one after another, and the few remaining family bases of the Russian Navy have been divided between the Chinese and the Ukrainians. But the Russian Federation can only knock out its teeth and swallow it in its stomach, and it can't accuse China at this time. Because they are still counting on China to defeat Makashev and return to Moscow.
In fact, it is not only the Black Sea Fleet, but even the Northern Fleet under Yeltsin's nose has been dug up. Yesterday, the Russian military cracked a major espionage case, and the captain of a Delta III-class strategic nuclear submarine was arrested because the captain was suspected of driving the nuclear submarine with a nuclear warhead from Severs Morsk, and his destination was Vladivostok in the Far Eastern Republic.
After an urgent interrogation of the Russian Federation, it turned out that the Far Eastern Republic had given these captains and captains of the Northern Fleet a valuable "surrender bonus", and if they brought a nuclear submarine over, they could get a reward of several million dollars, and if it was a big guy like the Typhoon class, tens of millions of dollars were possible.
The captain of several submariners who got the news and his sailors combined, anyway, the Russian Federation is already crumbling, and the Far East heard that people are doing well, and the most important thing is that they are all ethnic Russians, and they are not fighting, and they have money to get in the past, and they can still live a good life, why do they continue to stay on the coast of the Arctic Ocean where birds don't.
When the Russian military reacted, they counted the inventory again, and there were actually five nuclear submarines, ranging from the Oscar class to the Typhoon class, and they disappeared like this, and such a large nuclear submarine could be lost, which shows how far the federal Russian army has been abandoned. These five nuclear submarines undoubtedly secretly lifted anchor and left their home port, bypassed the Arctic Ocean, and went to Vladivostok via the Bering Strait.
Even more absurd is still to come, after hearing about this, some deputies of the State Duma who fled to St. Petersburg with Yeltsin came up with the idea of directly selling the nuclear submarine to the Far Eastern Republic, asking for a higher price, and taking more dollars, renminbi, or something in order to save the Russian federal government, which had completely collapsed financially. Well, the entire Russian Federation has not paid salaries to officials and parliamentarians since last month, and there has even been a phenomenon of officials and parliamentarians becoming "deserters".
Yeltsin is not an idiot, he knows that if even the nuclear submarines of the Northern Fleet are sold, then Russia will be completely hopeless in the future, not only will it be hopeless, but even its dignity may be gone. It's just that Vice President Rudskoi said half-mockingly: "We can't even fill our stomachs, what do we want nuclear submarines for?" Does it keep you warm or hungry? ”
It was Yeltsin's lackey Defense Minister Grachev who thought of a good way for Yeltsin to find the Far Eastern republics to privately trade nuclear submarines, and not to sell them the latest and greatest, but to pick those that have been in service for a long time and are almost unusable. The Russian army now has no funds to maintain these things, and if they are kept in their hands, they will not be able to use them, and eventually they will all become scrap metal, and even if they are dismantled, it will be very troublesome, because there are nuclear reactors. It's really hard to sell it, and there are relevant international laws that restrict the transfer of nuclear submarines.
In essence, Russia and the Far East can also bypass international law, so there is room for maneuver in between.
In the end, the Russian Federation took the initiative to take out the remaining 30 or so attack nuclear submarines of the Northern Fleet and the Baltic Fleet, including the November-class, Viktor-class, and Alpha-class attack nuclear submarines, more than 30 Yankee-class and Delta-class strategic nuclear submarines, and several Oscar-class cruise missile nuclear submarines, together with nuclear warheads, all of which were sold to the Far Eastern Republic for $1.6 billion.
This deal has also been hailed as the stupidest, most hopeless, incomprehensible and most ridiculous deal in the entire history of Russia.
As a result, the Navy of the Russian Federation retains only 4 Typhoon-class strategic nuclear submarines as a minimum sea-based nuclear deterrent, and 4 Akula-class and 4 Serra-class attack nuclear submarines, completely declining from a nuclear submarine superpower to a small nuclear submarine country with a thin presence at the British and French levels.
However, according to the development strategy of the Russian Federation Navy, which I don't know if it is a fool, the Russian Navy will focus on conventional submarines in the future, so they have retained a certain number of Kilo-class, Tango-class, and Foxtrot-class conventional submarines. However, the fact is that many conventional submarines have also been sold to the Far East and China, and Russia itself is ashamed to mention the specific figures.
Da Mao also wants to sell for more money, but the tired economy and civil war have left Russia with little hope for the future. In addition, it is impossible for any country to sell as luxuriously as China in the Far East, but India has a bit of demand, but the bid is not high, and in the end Da Mao can only grit his teeth, ship in large quantities, and sell it in a clearance sale.
In this fire sale, several countries also took advantage, India, Iran, Algeria and other countries have obtained a batch of Russian second-hand submarines at relatively low prices, but the Far East and China have taken a huge number.
Another important reason why Russia has to grit its teeth and sell at a low price is that the federal Russian army is still counting on the 12-nation coalition to transfer those captured Soviet Russian troops to them and become the combat force of the federal Russian army. At this time, the Russian civil war was similar to the civil war fought in China before the liberation of the year, and if he lost the battle and changed his banner, he immediately changed his own soldiers, Yeltsin was afraid that Yankov or Novorzlov would bring back the captured soldiers, so Russia would really lack soldiers and major generals in the future.
The Twelve-Nation Coalition actually intimidated Yeltsin, telling him that if the Russian Federation didn't know each other, the Coalition wouldn't mind letting Makashev pacify their government-in-exile first, and then pushing Makashev. Yeltsin was really frightened at this time, if he really let Makashev catch him, it would be light to fry him. At this time, the Twelve Nation Coalition gave Yeltsin a list of their troop expenses, and the implication was that the buddies would come from far and wide to help you solve the problem.
Where did Yeltsin get the money, who knows that you used millions of troops (Qi Yiming didn't write the actual number, for fear of scaring the child). In the end, the coalition forces still gave Yeltsin a little face, and if there is no money to use armaments to offset the account, the previous price of 1.6 billion US dollars to buy nuclear submarines, remove the 10, and leave you a 6, which can be regarded as helping you tide over the difficulties. As for the rest, well, we see that your Kuznetsov aircraft carrier is good, let's bring it off.
