Chapter 1132 Far Eastern Theater Command
"This, this...... Mr. Mitchell, your analysis -- do you say,"
Although the conversation involved military secrets, the deputy commander clearly did not have any scruples, and it was impossible to keep the strategic planning of the whole fleet completely secret.
"Arrangements for the Pacific Command...... Big problem?
But on the other hand, if such a combat operation is not planned, if the situation in the Far East changes, if, if the Russians really attack Korea or even land on Japan, and occupy these two frontiers of the free world, then our Far Eastern blockade line will be on the verge of collapse."
"-Collapse, collapse, then let these guys collapse!
Joseph, don't you understand? ”
Sitting in an off-road vehicle crawling along the winding road, seeing that he was about to reach home after turning a small hill, Mark Mitchell, who was still indignant just a moment ago, was now a little more energetic, he raised his hand and knocked on the window glass, while looking at the deputy commander of the Seventh Fleet with a confused face; As far as he knows, this Joseph Prueher will soon be on the ship, and the elderly former vice admiral is really a little worried about his old subordinates:
"Mark my words, Joseph: Whether it's Japan or South Korea, it's not a pity that these countries have been lost, and the shape of the world has completely changed.
- Oh, and also, the threats that these countries face, do you think the Russians are a bunch of brainless fools? All my inferences will soon be confirmed by the facts, and the Ivans may not bother to occupy the small countries of the Far East, unless they are for some unwarranted symbolism, and we are intent on defending this and that, and building military bases on them according to the 'containment strategy'!
All in all. "Theory of Sea Power". That's not some golden rule. I wish everyone in the Command knew this, and there was probably nothing else that could be done to get the United States out of the war. ”
……
Former Vice Admiral Mark Mitchell was still talking about a pastime in the afternoon, accompanied by a profound discussion of the war situation in the Pacific.
Just a few hours later, the perspective returned to Eurasia, thousands of miles away, under a sunny clear sky. A huge gray-and-white painted warplane was soaring freely, flying west along the Trans-Siberian Railway, over the vast, snow-covered land, leaving only a series of distant roars behind it.
"White No. 20", the black-edged white numbers on both sides of the cockpit of the fighter are true, but the model is not the Su-27M2, but a Su-239M from the 27th regiment.
Returning from the expedition in the early hours of the morning, and in the afternoon he sailed again on a long voyage, and the Red Air Force Aviation Lieutenant General Viktor Rezenov sailed to Irkutsk, more than 2,000 kilometers away, and needed to rush to the location of the headquarters of the Far Eastern Theater of Operations. Attend a secret operations meeting.
From Khabarovsk to Irkutsk, a flight of almost three hours. For most fighters, it is necessary to hang up the auxiliary fuel tank, but the Su-27M, which has up to 11,500 kg of internal oil, does it very easily.
Along the way, in order to hurry, the high-altitude flying white No. 20 also turned on a period of afterburner, driving the landline cruising Long Yun from the cockpit overlooked, only to see a large area of snow, the intersection of the clear blue sky and the distant earth, is a vague gradient of cold color, the air whistling in the ears and the roar of the engine have disappeared with a bang that broke through the sound barrier, and the cockpit has become a little quiet.
Oh, even if it flies to supersonic speed, the sound transmitted by the body is still there.
In the early morning of that day, after a fierce battle, he returned to the base on the outskirts of Khabarovsk, and was woken up by the orderlies after taking a nap in the morning.
The characters, places, and specific content are all hidden, in fact, Lieutenant General Viktor Rezenov is only the nominal division commander of the 210th Division, and there are other personnel in charge of specific affairs, and this kind of information sent through the military communication network must consider the issue of confidentiality, so after reading it, only he Long Yun understands that the "person in charge" here refers to himself, and the "station" will not be the location of the Far Eastern Military District Command "Khabarovsk" in the general sense, Rather, it refers to Irkutsk, an important Siberian town where he spent some days ago.
This time he traveled to a parallel world, first to fight, and then to have a meeting, and Long Yun, who wore many hats, was also a little inseparable for a while.
Unlike the previous simple Red Air Force pilot, as time passed in parallel worlds, Long Yun's role in the time travel became more and more complex, and after he came to the Far East, he also learned that Viktor Rezenov was temporarily by-elected as a member of the ЦК_КПСС (Центральный комитет Коммунистическойпартии Советского Союза, member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union), although this is only a fictitious position, In ordinary times, the political and political bureau still has the final say on major state affairs, which also reflects the change in Viktor's status in the political life of the Soviet Union.
However, for Long Yun, he has always been very insensitive to these things, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
Now, flying at the best cruising altitude of the Su-27, there are still hundreds of kilometers away from Irkutsk, and a light gray of the ground in front of him is already in sight, and Long Yun can vaguely distinguish that it is a large expanse of ice that he had no time to visit when he went to Irkutsk last time, and Lake Baikal, the lake with the largest freshwater reserves in the world.
Lake Baikal, in Long Yun's memory, was the first to see such a name from the language class, mentioning that the birthplace of the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai "Broken Leaves" on the shore of Lake Baikal, in fact, this statement is mostly a rumor, the dispute over the birthplace of the famous poet has caused many disputes in the real world, although I don't know what the situation is in the parallel world, Long Yun looked at the large area of deep gray and blue from afar, and he was most impressed by this lake by a number, that is, "fresh water storage".
Lake Baikal alone, a body of water with an average depth of 758 meters, contains one-fifth of the total amount of fresh water on the earth's surface, and the bottom of the lake is even a thousand meters below sea level.
Flying all the way to the west, flying over Lake Baikal, which has just begun to freeze and the water surface is still beautiful and blue, from a height of thousands of meters, the lake is still endless, and it is extremely vast, like an ocean suddenly appearing in the frozen continent.
Flying all the way along the lake, approaching Irkutsk on the shore of the southwest corner, seeing that most of the fuel gauge has been consumed, Long Yun can be regarded as having truly experienced the vastness of Siberia, and the Su-27M, which has a range of nearly 4,000 kilometers with internal fuel, has intermittently turned on some afterburner, and has consumed almost three-quarters of the fuel when flying here, but as far as the journey to Siberia is concerned, it is only about half of it.
Irkutsk, an aviation city located in the interior of the Soviet Union, is also a command center in the hinterland of the Far East, commanding the Far Eastern theater of operations of the three military districts of the Far East, Transbaikal and Siberia, where the General Headquarters is located.
"Far Eastern Theater", Long Yun originally didn't know much about such a proper noun.
Since crossing into the parallel world, he has been serving in the Red Air Force as Viktor, and he has only recently begun to get acquainted with the military system of the huge Soviet Union, taking the Far East as an example, the Red Empire in the parallel world still has three military regions from east to west, of which the "Far Eastern Military District" is the main force to undertake the offensive against Japan, and the "Transbaikal Military District" was originally a product of the Sino-Soviet confrontation era, and now serves as a strategic reserve and logistics team, as for the "Siberian Military District", it itself belongs to the strategic rear of the entire alliance, In the Far East operation, it is equivalent to a soy sauce character.
The division of military districts and theaters is roughly as follows: The "General Headquarters of the Far Eastern Theater" sitting in Irkutsk is directly under the command of the Supreme High Command and the General Staff.
Because of this, Long Yun still had some doubts after landing and getting into the jeep, and he didn't quite know why he was called.
As a lieutenant general of the VVS Aviation Corps, he belongs to the "senior officer" in the Soviet military ranks, and Viktor's military rank is now quite high, as for the military position, the position of "commander and political commissar of the aviation division" seems to be very important, after all, unlike other theaters of the Red Empire that are full of swords and guns, and the number of VVS and PVO aviation divisions under the jurisdiction of the Far Eastern Military District is not too much, even if the 210th Division is only subordinate to one fighter aviation regiment, there is no difference in the establishment specifications, a certain Cheng dù said, It's okay to say the same in terms of combat effectiveness.
But then again, rank, rank, or whatever, after all, is just a work arrangement, and Viktor Rezenov has always been a front-line fighter who flies fighter jets into the sky, rather than a battlefield commander who is strategizing.
So, what is the matter of calling him for such a thing as a meeting?
From his last visit to IAPO, where he received special training at the base, to landing on the wide runway of the Irkutsk airbase once again, where his plane was temporarily stored on the tarmac, Long Yun, who had arrived at a secret base somewhere on the outskirts of the city, went through a security check at the entrance of a low-rise building, handed in his gun, and was only able to enter the Far Eastern Theater Operational Command Center, which was made of steel and concrete and buried deep underground.
The so-called "Theater General Headquarters" is a group of generals and commanders who can still be stationed in a large office building in the city in peacetime, but at a time when the war between the East and the West is in full swing, they need to always guard against enemy attacks or deliberate sabotage by enemy agents.
Although Irkutsk, which is located in the hinterland of Asia, is at least 3,000 kilometers away from US military bases in any direction, and under the cover of the PVO, enemy planes that launch cruise missiles across the border will also have to go through a thousand difficulties and dangers, but war can never count on luck, and just before the Far East offensive was launched, the theater headquarters and the headquarters of the three military districts entered a state of war, and the place where the combat meeting was held was also moved to the outskirts of the base.
