Chapter 448: The Giant Bear Awakens 6
Assisted the Army with 500 M1 "Abrams" main battle tanks, 100 AH-1 "Cobra" helicopter gunships, and 100 "Black Shadow" multi-role helicopters.
Secretary of Defense Casper? Weinberg speculated hesitantly: "It may be that they got an offer from the Soviets and doubled down on us!" ”
Anyone who has participated in the negotiations can roughly understand that this quasi-ally is using the unprecedented "honey key period" to get the most out of itself.
But even cutting 50 percent of the weapons and equipment on the list feels like being blackmailed to the White House and the Pentagon.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, John Jr.? William? Admiral Vesey said matter-of-factly: "If this is the case, it means that the Soviets really spared no expense in order to win them over!" ”
One "Tomcat" is worth $40 million, and forty-eight F-14s are worth $1.92 billion for the whole aircraft alone.
Including weapons, spare parts, spare engines, the cost of maintenance for ten years is at least doubled.
And the other side asks the United States to bear the entire cost, have they completely lost their minds???
Do you naively think that the F-14, which combines high-precision technology, is comparable to the cost of the aerial tatters they make?
Vice President George? Herbert Busch was not optimistic that the other party would succeed, and had reservations about this cooperation.
"It's a pity that they don't know that we already know their nature, maybe one day they will regret it and give away our top weapons to the Soviets, we won't do such a stupid thing!"
As long as the ideology is not completely consistent for a day, the United States will maintain a high level of vigilance against this quasi-ally.
Even the watchdogs of Japan, which sold the F-15 to them, canceled the ground/sea strike capability.
The protections that Washington has been implementing to prevent a backlash from its ill-intentioned allies are commendable.
"Pratt, get back to them for me......"
Actor President Jean Secretary of State George? Pratt? Schultz acted as his spokesman, so as not to end up in a troubled situation.
Washington refused to supply the Tomcat fighter jets produced by Grumman, citing the Foreign Aid Witherers' veto of the F-14.
For the F-16, two squadrons (48 units) can be sold, each of which is 20 million dollars, half of which is subsidized by the United States and the other half is paid for by itself.
Six planes will be delivered every year, and the delivery will be completed in eight years, and the sea strike capability will be abolished, and the air and ground attack capabilities will be retained.
The E-3 airborne early warning aircraft are not included in the assistance plan for the time being, and two C-130 transport aircraft can be provided.
Neither the Spruance-class destroyers nor the Perry-class frigates will support them, and they will be replaced by four older Knox-class frigates.
The M1 that supported the army became a second-hand M60 "Patton", and one hundred vehicles were provided annually, for a total of three hundred.
Ground support is provided with 24 AH-1 Cobra helicopter gunships and an equal number of Black Shadow multi-role helicopters, which will be deployed over four years.
The threshold in terms of loans remains the same, and the exchange conditions naturally remain the same, that is, joining the NATO bloc!
Faced with two completely different aid packages, fraternal countries cannot make up their minds for a while, and they need to consider them as a whole.
The focus of this provided by Moscow is in the military field, especially in the navy and air force, which can allow its own side to do it in one step.
The four regiments of "Mirage"-2000 and MiG-29, as well as the "88 Fleet" plan, made the military excited.
At a time when military modernization was urgently needed, the Soviets were helping them in the face of a disaster.
As for the one submitted by Washington, the military and economic aid are relatively balanced, and there are no obvious shortcomings.
We can use the huge capital and high technology of the Western world to develop our own economy, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Localities are very eager to bring in foreign investment and use local human resources to boost the economy, but they also need to obey the national strategy.
At this crossroads, where the fate of a billion people is concerned, it is still a forward-looking TV personality who can see it very clearly.
As far as the country is concerned, only by not taking sides, not taking a stand, and not offending either side of the United States and the Soviet Union can it seek the greatest interests at this time.
The Menggu issue, which had been very unhappy with other fraternal countries before, was put on hold for the time being, and it could not be solved for a while anyway.
In fact, the Union also did not occupy a square meter of land in the fraternal country to the south.
Push it further, that is, the grievances between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia, and it has to be resolved below......
The current intrigue is entirely due to the United States and the Soviet Union's struggle for hegemony, but the side on the other side of the negotiating table is profiting.
In order to temporarily reassure the fraternal countries, the alliance side made a private commitment.
The garrison does not exceed 100,000 troops in Menggu, in the Far East east of Menggu, and in the region west of Menggu to Kazakhstan, no more than 200,000.
The total number of troops does not exceed 600,000, which is more than half of the era when the two sides were tense, which can be regarded as a reassuring pill for the other side.
It's just that this guarantee will not be written into the agreement, it can be regarded as a verbal promise.
But the alliance side will actually enforce it, because the real purpose of swallowing Menggu is to mine......
On June 6, 1985, the representative of the fraternal countries and the foreign minister of the alliance Volotnikov officially signed the "Soviet Friendship and Mutual Assistance Project" in Moscow.
The aid program deliberately avoids the extremely sensitive word "treaty" and is titled like an ordinary utility project.
However, the content of the plan is quite different, and the focus is entirely on the military field, with the focus on helping fraternal countries build up their naval and air forces.
Within five years, we will build an ocean-going fleet for our brother countries that can match the combat power of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force.
Six years later, an elite and capable air force will also take to the skies to defend the country's airspace.
Since it was not released to the public at that time, observers and historians called the "Su Friendship and Mutual Assistance Project" the "Su Secret Treaty" or the "June 6 Agreement".
Pravda called the visit of the fraternal delegation to the Soviet Union a great feat of milestone historical significance.
It not only conforms to the fundamental interests of the two countries, but also promotes regional stability and world peace, and is a global model of win-win cooperation.
Of course, fraternal countries are not short-sighted and see only in terms of military assistance.
The signing of the relevant documents with the Soviet Union was partly due to the fact that there was an urgent need for the country to modernize its national defense.
On the other hand, getting closer to Moscow is also conducive to sharing the great benefits of a certain mysterious figure.
The alliance has mastered the secrets of future technology, and even has access to timeless visitors.
The top leaders of various countries have already spread the word that they are divine, and Western countries are interested in getting a piece of the pie.
But the coalition government is tight-lipped about it, completely denying any information on this matter.
The "F-117 Fighter-Bomber Revealed" program brought shame to the White House and the Pentagon, and the FBI investigation failed to produce a convincing report to the end.
Loma's top brass was eager to strangle the Soviets and the shitty federal agents, and no one believed that a classified project costing $6.6 billion would be ruined by a television show.
The air killer, who was kept under strict secrecy by the military, became a household name on TV overnight.
It's unthinkable, but it's happening.
The power of the media is on full display, and it's the American media!
This incident has long caused an uproar in major media around the world, and Western public opinion has reported it at length, and it can almost be made into a serial-style spy war film like "007".
The exported limousines once again revealed that the Soviets did indeed have a priceless treasure in their hands, and the engine plate marked a date thirty years later.
After the CIA agents bought a luxury car at a high price, they dismantled it into eight pieces, and all the parts in it had a production date were in line with their prior speculation.
But whether there was a "future visitor" or whether the Soviets were playing tricks will need further investigation to find out.
In order to find out, the United States and NATO countries sent a large number of agents, disguised as businessmen, to infiltrate the Soviet Union, ready to dig three feet into the ground.
Thus was born the ironic "Oleg Village Incident"!
Western reporters paid $5 million each in advance, but the villagers who were so dirty and scumbag were crumbled that they wanted to die!
The Western media, which had been fooled, were furious and strongly criticized the Soviet government for deliberately creating this incident.
Call the "Oleg Village Incident" the biggest lie & biggest hoax of the twentieth century!
The so-called "future visitors" do not exist at all, they are a money-making project made up by the Soviets to make a profit!
However, the Indian Air Force and the South African Air Force do not think so, and the "Typhoon" fighters purchased by the two countries are enough to tell the story.
Because it is too advanced and there is no full set of after-sales service for the time being, the two major buyers require full returns.
Of course, the alliance side will not give them a refund, but will replace it with "Phantom"-2000 one-on-one.
Dassault's ace fighter jets are currently only being purchased by the French Air Force, while the shameless company has as many as four major overseas customers.
The Frenchmen were even angrier, but no one cared how they felt......
At a time when the West was reeling from the dark losses it had suffered repeatedly, the first "Union Import and Export Fair" opened in Lehringgrad.
It covers light industrial products including automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, chemical raw materials, hardware tools, household appliances, consumer electronics, electrical products, computer and communication products, lighting products, building and decoration materials, bathroom equipment, medical equipment, clothing, shoes and hats.
This trade fair is the highest-level, largest and most complete commodity event held by the alliance in the history of the alliance.
Almost half the world's famous manufacturers, including the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, fraternal countries, and allies in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Due to the low barrier to entry, a small stall costs only 200 rubles.
Therefore, there were as many as 1,781 exhibitors in the first session, of which more than ninety percent were alliance enterprises.
Under the ardent care of the big pineapple and the active promotion of the Ministry of Commerce of the Alliance, the alliance enterprises actively participated in the conference in order to explore business opportunities.
Some unique alliance products are in extremely strong demand because their appearance, quality, and variety are far beyond this era.
The word-of-mouth communication effect in the circle of local tyrants has also made it famous, changing the bad impression of being old, backward, and featureless.
Due to its geographical proximity to Northern and Central Europe on the Baltic Sea, the Kremlin intends to make Lehinggrad an economic and trade center in the west.
Not only did it give the city a lot of preferential policies, but it also established the first free trade zone of the alliance (similar to an export processing zone) here.
Although it is only experimental at present, it is no different from the formal one in terms of tariff exemption and investment and trade.
The first phase of the project covers an area of nearly 50 square kilometers, ensuring that the settled merchants can engage in import and export trade, entrepot trade, bonded warehousing, commodity exhibition, manufacturing, disassembly and other commercial activities.
The Lehringgrad Free Trade Zone is mainly engaged in export processing and bonded warehousing, and provides one-stop processing, storage and transportation services for the alliance's export enterprises to Europe and the United States.
Brother Electronics, which manufactures GS game consoles, and large private and state-owned companies have settled here for the first time.
While creating jobs and stimulating local economic growth, it has also played an exemplary and leading role.
Benefiting from the geographical advantage, even if it is not transported by air, it is only used by sea transportation, which is more costly.
On the same day that goods exported from here leave the port, they can be reached in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, and Stockholm, the capital of Sweden.
It can be shipped to Oslo, Hamburg, Copenhagen in two days and in stores in London in less than three days.
Prior to this, Soviet products with beautiful packaging, high quality and low price had long since entered thousands of households in Western countries.
In order to increase the annual throughput of the port, to ensure that the export trade increases year by year.
The Port of Lehringgrad has not only undergone a large-scale expansion, but also introduced scientific and systematic management processes.
Through comprehensive training, digging deep into potential, strengthening advantages, and filling in shortcomings, management and workers can have a clearer understanding of their job responsibilities.
Veterans who have been laid off from the Army and Navy have been housed here, and the addition of these vital forces has directly improved the efficiency of the port.
When the big pineapple went to Lehlinggrad for an inspection trip in late spring, he was pleased to see the scene of the city being lit up at night, and he was also gratifying.
This is not a flattering move by Mayor Yanayev in order to cater to his superiors, but a true portrayal of the rapid development of the city.
For the evaluation of cadres in various places, the owner of the Kremlin listed only three indicators for inspection - economy, minsheng, and stability!
Developing the economy, ensuring Minsheng, and maintaining stability are the established strategic plans of the current alliance.
As long as the cadres who achieve these three indicators at the same time, regardless of the source, they can be promoted!
Reach two, continue the investigation!
There is only one, and the horse is changed!
And for those who turn a blind eye and do the opposite, Big Pineapple takes a zero-tolerance attitude!
With the benevolent Bo Ye soaring to the loving father, the nursing home model (rod life-long system), which is highly respected by the majority of pole fans, has come to an end.
This terminator who carries on the past and opens up the future is none other than the indirect heir of the Iron Empire - the big pineapple!
A leader who was born in the KGB and made the enemy's talk about it changeable, his subordinates were sincerely afraid, and his colleagues looked up to him!
It can be said that he was put on the throne by Uncle Ge and Cadbury and others.
Scherbitsky (the first person to be the pre-heir) and Rice Cake (the first person to actually take power) are strong competitors.
