Seeing Malenkov's encouraging expression, he seemed to be quite interested in some of his words, and Long Yun, who was cautious in his words and deeds, unconsciously used a little old trick of conscious snooping, and he vaguely discovered the meeting process that the general secretary had just experienced, and the discussion was exactly these two things, so he added a little confidence and courage, although none of these arguments now come from the existing history of the real world, but are all his personal analysis:

"All in all, then, these actions are detrimental to the executors themselves, to the British, or to the Japanese.

But another way of thinking, if you look at it from the perspective of the overall strategic situation of the world war, then I think this is probably not a positive signal," while speaking, Long Yun also continued to think about himself, he now imagined more about the overall trend of this war, and it was also what he and the general secretary in front of him were most concerned about, "After the defeat in the Caucasus, since the Yankees still made such actions, does it only mean one thing, that is, they are far from admitting defeat, And the plan to continue this protracted war?

If that is the case, then this is not good news for us.

Although I always feel that if the war continues like this, it will certainly not be the NATO bloc that will win in the end, but it is conceivable that what the Soviet Union needs now is peace, not a long-term war. ”

"Oh, yes......"

As the young man spoke, the general secretary who sat on the sofa slowly put down the water glass, and he felt more and more that Viktor Rezenov's words were not simple, and even quite similar to the unanimous opinion at the previous meeting of the Political Bureau.

At a secret meeting that morning. The heads of government of the Soviet Union present at the meeting basically held the view that in the face of this sudden outbreak of world war. Although great progress has been made on the frontal battlefield. It can even be said that it has already dealt a heavy blow to its old rival NATO, but in all fairness, the Soviet Union, which is trying to regroup and make drastic changes, now needs the most time and space to replenish its national strength, and does not want to be involved in an all-out war with no end in sight.

However, despite this, in the face of the bloc of Western countries that fired the first shot, now that the war has been ignited, the huge red empire has absolutely no reason to suspend its troops.

"We don't talk about war lightly. But they are not afraid of war", this concept of the general secretary was unanimously recognized by the members at the meeting of the Political Bureau; As one of the participants in the meeting, Malenkov was curious now, and he wanted to know what the number one ace of the Red Air Force in front of him would think and say.

Facing the general secretary's gaze, as if he understood the leader's inquiry, Long Yun cleared his throat and took a sip of water before giving his own answer:

"In this case, my personal bold idea. The priority now is to determine the next course of action; Although the actions of the Americans to manipulate the client state are intended to attract our attention, it has to be said. After the dust settles in the Southern Theater, the next direction of battle we can choose is really these two breakthroughs in the east and west, and nothing else. ”

"Nothing else, well,--what about Spain, what do you think of this direction?"

"Spain, Spain?"

Being caught off guard by the question, Long Yun shook his head blankly, he really hadn't thought about this country at all.

The reason for this is very simple, because in the real world in which he lived, there was no such situation in the real history or in the Soviet military's battle plan, or that the Iberian Peninsula was not inherently a strategic point of contention between the East and the West, even with a strategic point like Gibraltar.

If you think about the population and economic size of Spain and Portugal, they can actually rank first in Europe, but the Pyrenees are located between the peninsula and the European continent, and the transportation is quite inconvenient; On the other hand, the Iberian Peninsula, which is surrounded by the sea, is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and is not suitable for large-scale combat operations. Spain has also done little in the two world wars that broke out in the modern era, and now it is natural that it will not be the focus of the decisive victory between the two blocs.

Thinking of this, Long Yun simply said these thoughts in one go, which made Malenkov smile when he heard it:

"Hehe, yes, you have a point!

So, it seems that you are very right, we only have two directions of action, one east and one west, which can further compress the living space of the Western bloc, and finally force them to end this war and return the world to the main line of peaceful development.

Hmph, think about the United States, and the United Kingdom, which is joining in the fun, these capitalist countries that have been in the Cold War with us for decades, they really picked a surprise time to go to war, but they were not ready for war at all; Of course, I think our glorious Red Army has indeed taken our opponents by surprise, just like you, Victor, if we can have more super combat heroes like you, I'm afraid they will regret it and have nightmares even more! ”

"Well, -- if you want to talk about the war itself, I'm afraid they miscalculated, well."

Hearing Comrade Malenkov's praise, Long Yun was quite embarrassed to divert the topic, he had never been very good at dealing with such situations, and now he simply took care of him. However, hearing Viktor's words, Malenkov turned to another topic and began to care about the young man's military career:

"Oh, well! That's all for the war, and the final action is still uncertain.

So let's talk about your situation, Victor, now you are a lieutenant general in the Air Force and have a lot of autonomy in your actions; So what are your specific plans after your recuperation in Moscow? Will it return to the front line to continue fighting, or will it ...... Well, let's continue our research on Rome. ”

"...... specific plans?"

He had always acted according to orders from above, performing tasks on the Caucasian front, or in the "General Administration of Rome", Long Yun was a little unaccustomed to the words of the general secretary, and the abrupt appearance of the word "Rome" also attracted his attention.

Of course, as the supreme leader of the Red Empire, it is not surprising that Comrade Malenkov knows about "Rome" and even the "dead city", but since the general secretary has already spoken, does this mean that there will be no fierce fighting near the front line in the next period of time, so he can freely choose how to act?

Long Yun is still using his imagination here, and Malenkov on the other side of the stage is also continuing to speak:

"Yes, Victor.

Oh, now you might as well talk about it, I've already met some of the people involved in the investigation of the 'General Directorate of Rome', and I've also gone through the mission report of your last operation. As for that land in Central Asia...... If what you say is true, then, my personal guess, there must be a deeper secret lurking there; However, due to the extremely dangerous mysterious barrier, not a single qiē inside is something that we can glimpse lightly.

As for the investigation of the 'Roman', the only way to do this is to go in person, which is indeed extremely difficult. Frankly, the Soviet Union is in great need of your abilities right now, and I personally don't want you to take some unknown risks; So, my personal opinion on this aspect of the investigation is that you can decide for yourself and decide what course of action you want to go about for yourself. ”

Speaking of which, the earnest general secretary leaned over on the sofa as if to emphasize his words:

"On the other hand, if you choose to stay on the battlefield, then you can also work as a conductor. - yes, you're a lieutenant general in the air force now, aren't you?

If you continue to stay on the front line, ...... It should be the 237th Regiment, right?

If you continue to stay in the 237th Regiment in the future, there is no precedent in the history of the Red Air Force: an air force general still flies fighter planes to kill the enemy, which is of course good for morale, but it will also put you in a constant dangerous situation. So what do you think of participating in the war in a different way?

With your current rank of lieutenant general, if nothing else, there is no problem at all in holding a deputy position in a unit of the first level of the Air Force, and I also asked Comrade Sergeyev. ”

“……？”

Hearing Malenkov's words, especially Jian Yi, who was "in command position", Long Yun became quite nervous, and he looked at the general secretary on the sofa quite suspiciously.

Listening to Malenkov's meaning, could it be that the General Secretary, like those who had advised him, wanted him to leave the front-line battle and become a commander who had greatly reduced his danger but also basically bid farewell to the blue sky out of the consideration of the ace pilots and the morale of the troops?

This arrangement, which he had politely rejected more than once before, was now proposed by Comrade Malenkov, although it was only a kind of proposal, but he could not help but think carefully about how to refuse - naturally, for all those who cared for Viktor Rezenov, they were obviously well-intentioned, but the separation from the front line has always been difficult for him, the traverser, to accept, mainly because he is afraid that his return to the rear will be limited, and it will be difficult for him to let go to change the tide of the war, or to carry out his own secret investigation.

But now, of course, he can't simply refuse the arrangement made by the top leader of the alliance, and even if he wants to thank him politely, it is best to come up with a very good reason.

Thinking of this, Long Yun, who was sitting opposite the general secretary, raised his hand to pick up the water cup, and took advantage of the free time of drinking water slowly to think about countermeasures, he felt that at this time, he should be able to use his consciousness to snoop, at least he could figure out how important Malenkov attaches to this matter.
