"We have sacrificed thousands of soldiers, we have lost large transport planes, and this operation, we must continue to fight, we must occupy the northern part of Hokkaido." Ustinov said: "Otherwise, all those dead fighters, will they all die in vain? ”

Ustinov insisted on going his own way, in his eyes, this incident is a shame for his side, and if you want not to be ashamed, you must fight!

Since the Americans have sent people to negotiate the conditions, it means that the Americans are afraid, and now only by continuing to fight can the Americans agree to their own conditions.

However, Ustinov's words are not shared by everyone, for example, Gromyko.

As a veteran of the three dynasties, Gromyko had a lot of right to speak, and before he became the foreign minister of the Soviet Union, Gromyko was an ambassador in the United States, so he had a deep understanding of the war potential of the United States.

"We can't fight anymore, this incident, the two sides have died down, just treat it as an accident, this is the best ending." "The plan we had made was to make a sudden landfall and create a given, and now the plan is bankrupt and we have to stop it," Gromyko said. ”

Both of them were important ministers of the state and trusted subordinates of Brezhnev, and now, the two could not reach a unified opinion on whether to continue to act, and at the same time, the others also expressed their own opinions.

The side of the army wants to continue fighting, and now, the army has suffered a loss, how can it not continue to fight? And some of the old seniors tend to keep the peace, and since they can't fight, they just give up.

The two sides are inextricably linked.

At this moment, an adjutant pushed open the door, quietly walked in, and handed Ustinov a document.

Ustinov glanced at it, nodded, and ordered his subordinates to go.

This action seemed too strange, so Gromyko quietly walked out and stopped the adjutant.

"What documents? Show me. ”

"I'm sorry, but this is an internal army document."

"I'm the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and at this time, I'm qualified to watch." Gromyko said.

So, the adjutant handed him the document helplessly, and Gromyko opened it, and his face suddenly changed.

The Far Eastern Military District, naval aviation, has already been dispatched, intending to take advantage of the darkness of the night to sneak attack the US Navy aircraft carrier formation!

Sure enough, the army went too far, and dared to act without authorization before the Moscow resolution came down, this Ustinov is simply covering the sky with one hand!

Gromyko took the papers and hurried into the conference room.

"Dmitry, what the hell is going on?" Gromyko yelled at Ustinov: "Before we have made a decision, naval aviation has already been dispatched!" ”

Gromyko was furious, if the American aircraft carrier battle group was sunk, then this war would inevitably break out!

Ustinov's expression was calm: "We have suffered a lot of losses, and we have to let the Americans suffer losses, so that tomorrow there will be hope for our negotiations." ”

Ustinov's consideration is very simple, now the peace talks of the Americans are simply like handouts to the Soviets, and the Soviets will not care! The Soviets have suffered a lot of losses today, so the Americans have to suffer the same losses, so let's negotiate and see if the Americans give Hokkaido or not!

"General Secretary, the army is acting without authorization, and it still doesn't take us seriously?" Gromyko was furious and said to Andropov on the side: "I suggest that the KGB be asked to investigate this violation of the army, especially the gross negligence of Marshal Ustinov. ”

Andropov raised his head, an image of a good old man: "Andrey, don't worry, Dmitry, also for the sake of the country, your views are different, but your positions are the same, they are all for our Soviets." ”

So, Gromyko looked at Brezhnev again, but he was helpless to find that Brezhnev had a cigarette in his mouth and fell asleep leaning back in a chair.

Gromyko was completely speechless.

In the past two years, the general secretary's health has begun to deteriorate, and he often falls asleep during meetings, and now, this is a major event that determines the fate of the world.

Ustinov looked at Gromyko, spread his hands, and smiled.

Wait for the general secretary to wake up and make a few more noises, and his own naval aviation will have already triumphed.

The loss of their own strategic transport planes and the loss of aircraft carriers by the Americans will give everyone losses, so that the Soviet army will not lose face, and when the time comes, it will have the confidence to sit down at the negotiating table.

Now, not yet!

At this time, Gromyko must be very speechless, he let Brezhnev come to power in order to control it, and now, he is almost out of business, and at a critical time, he needs to say a word!

Nathan would never have known that there would be times when his judgment would be wrong, because when he was judging, he miscalculated one condition, that is, the old Brezhnev was no longer able to make a correct judgment, and Ustinov was working behind his back.

However, at night, it is not so easy to find the American aircraft carrier group.

In the Far East, at the base of the Soviet Naval Aviation, the first to take off was not the Tu-22M Backfire bomber, but the Tu-95RTS long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft.

Since its manufacture, the Tu-95 bomber has been improved in many ways because of its wide body and great potential for modification, such as becoming the world's only fastest propeller airliner, and it has also been improved by various reconnaissance models.

And the current model is specially prepared for naval aviation.

The middle of the fuselage of the Tu-95 bulges, like a big pregnant woman, here is a large bubble-shaped fairing, which is equipped with an I-band ground search radar, mainly for reconnaissance and anti-submarine missions. The rear fuselage has a bubble-shaped fairing on each side of the nose, an aerial fuel receiving tube in the nose, and a variety of bulges and antennas, including streamlined fairings on the flat-tail wingtips on each side.

In addition to being used for maritime reconnaissance, it also plays an extremely important role in the use of support ship and air-to-ship missiles, providing target intelligence to missile launchers on ships and aircraft far away from targets, so as to ensure accurate guidance and targeting of over-the-horizon missiles.

In other words, don't look at the missiles carried by the Tu-22 so awesome, but if you want to hit the target, you have to guide the Tu-95.
