Chapter 1021 Two-front battle
In times of war, the adjustment of train operations is commonplace, and passengers on the train may be a little anxious, but in the current war, this little thing is naturally not difficult.
As for Long Yun, who took the car, although he thought that time was precious, since the KGB had made such an arrangement, at least it showed that the war situation was not very urgent, and he could leave enough time to go to the Far East, so he was not worried about the delay of the journey at all; If you think about the end of this trip, Komsomolsk, located on the banks of the Amr River, is not a strategic hub for hoarding heavy troops, but the location of KnAAPO, which belongs to the Sukhoi Design Bureau, and it can probably be regarded as an official business trip.
At the beginning of the night, sitting in the curtain compartment and having dinner together, Long Yun admired Valentina's cooking skills, and while he munched on the fragrant potato roast beef, he also speculated in his heart that it seemed to be the right choice for this beautiful and capable agent to continue to follow him.
This trip to the Far East, and the subsequent operations, if you consider it from a safety point of view, is actually the usual practice to change to a bodyguard.
In recent times, as the information detected by the Commission has indicated, the pervasive Western agents have been almost insane and have carried out the assassination of Viktor Rezenov at any cost. This so-called "no matter the cost", on the one hand, caused heavy losses to the Western intelligence personnel lurking in the Red Empire, and on the other hand, it did put great pressure on the KGB; And Valentina, as Victor's public lover and private bodyguard, has long been known, and thus it has become a breakthrough in the pursuit of the lieutenant general of the aviation corps. This is naturally detrimental to the next security work.
This analysis. Long Yun could imagine it. The KGB was well aware of this, but on the one hand, Comrade General proposed not to change the candidate, and on the other hand, Valentina Kurtonova, who had been tested for a long time and had an excellent mission schedule, was indeed an ideal candidate to continue this task.
What if someone else is replaced, what if the guy who has been replaced has a problem, or even an American spy lurking in the committee?
Of course, Long Yun is not afraid of this kind of worry, but the KGB has many concerns. So after all things considered, I still agreed to the request of Super Ace; As for whether there are some other ambiguous factors in this, under the shroud of Victor's dazzling aura, no one will talk too much.
ββ¦β¦ So, the battle plan should still be top secret, Victor? Isn't it a little out of order for you and me to discuss this here? β
Blinking her gray-black eyes, Valentina still hesitated a little about Long Yun's frankness.
"Huh! Secrecy is naturally required. β
Hearing the detective's soft question, Long Yun raised his wine glass. I took a sip of a slightly sour sparkling red wine:
"But Valya, I trust you completely. Who else would you talk to along the way? I'm not a stuffy gourd who likes to keep secrets, of course, in front of perfectly reliable comrades. β
Dispelled Valentina's concerns, anyway, there was no one left and right, Long Yun chatted with the beautiful agent in front of him about the next strategic choice, of course, he did not deliberately emphasize that "the direction of the attack must be in the Far East", but from the perspective of the geopolitical situation, he said some of his own analysis, and pointed out the possible direction of action of the Warsaw Pact Group in the next step.
When he was talking, he was also thinking in his heart that whether it was an attack on the British Isles in Western Europe or an attack on Japan in the east, it would be impossible for such large-scale war preparations to escape the eyes of Western spies, and this so-called "top-secret plan" was probably already on the desk of the CIA. However, if you think about it from another angle, combined with the recent situation, Long Yun still thinks that the strategic feint of the Soviet Union has been carried out quite smoothly - even if the real main direction of attack is the Far East, Western Europe is now full of swords and guns, heavy troops are gathered, and the huge war planes are running at full speed, so that the two strategic directions are maintaining a high-pressure situation, and at this moment, I am afraid that the Americans who are looking from afar will fall into a dilemma.
Is the so-called "attack on the Far East" the real intention of Ivan, or is it another massive strategic deception?
Or arguably, the situation will be even worse, maybe the crazy Russians are preparing for both at once, you help defend Western Europe, the Ivan will attack Japan, you will garrison the Far East, they will attack Britain?
Thinking about this situation also made Long Yun a little embarrassed, and he smiled and picked up Valentina's words:
"Yes, Valya, I guess the Americans are in a state of flux, that's pretty much it!
Thinking about why the Yankees went all out to help defend Western Europe during the Cold War, it was actually a very clever strategy, that is, trying to contain the main energy of the Warsaw Pact bloc, and at the same time predicting the main battlefield once the conflict broke out. The United States, which is rampant in the global oceans and seems to be in a position of life and death, is actually a game of life and death for Western Europe; Once the Western European continent is bulldozed, as it is now, it will face the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, and if there are no other accidents, in fact, the direction of this world war has been basically determined. β
"Two-front warfare...... Is this like Nazi Germany during World War II? β
"'Germany in World War II'? Oh, that's not it, and although they were fighting on two fronts, the Yankees' predicament was not the same as that of the Hans. β
As he spoke, Long Yun also thought of his crossing, the so-called "no other accidents", so is his crossing considered an "accident"?
If he hadn't tried his best to participate, would this world war have become what it is now, Long Yun is very self-aware of this, and he also feels that if you want to talk about "accidents", this bizarre and weird parallel world is simply everywhere, and it is probably very difficult to predict the direction of the war here:
"The so-called 'two-front war', for Nazi Germany at that time, mainly meant that it attacked from all sides and guided the opponent's strength far superior to its own, and at the same time confronted the United States and Britain on the Western Front and fought with us on the Eastern Front.
The so-called 'two fronts' of Nazi Germany were essentially the result of a lack of strength, and had little to do with fighting on the eastern and western fronts.
At that time, Prussia's railway system and air transport were relatively developed, and the mechanization of the army was still improvised, and there was no principled difficulty in mobilizing any troops between the two lines; However, its total strength disadvantage is too great, and it has only a little war potential, no matter how to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall between the two lines, and transfer the elite troops around like a fire brigade, it will not have much impact on the final outcome of the war. β
"Well, I think that's the case."
Talking about the Germans at the dinner table, I still remember a full-scale contest many years ago, and Valentina is naturally the same, but now that the situation has changed, the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR have become good citizens in the wartime order of Europe, and the two no longer continue to sarcastically complain about Germany, but instead discuss the situation of the Americans:
"Really, Valya?
And then if you look at the situation of the Yankees, 'fighting on two fronts', it's another problem for them.
First of all, as Marxists, we must frankly face the objective reality that the war potential and military strength of the United States or the NATO bloc in this world war are still very strong. This point, which is completely different from that of Nazi Germany in World War II, is also the basis and premise of our discussion.
Let's talk about this world war, in fact, I also thought about what this war would be like if both sides were fully prepared for war and had a showdown in Central Europe at any cost. Hehe, anyway, let's talk in private, let me tell you my opinion, if that's the case, we really can't drive the NATO bloc into the sea, after the crazy competition, the world will almost go to complete destruction, and the entire Central European region will be reduced to a large area of 5 million square kilometers of scorched earth ruins.
Well, that's where the bleak outlook comes in.
Now talking about the situation of 'fighting on two fronts', it is clear that the NATO bloc has no disadvantage in strength in this world war, but once it is necessary to take care of both Western Europe and the Far East, the Yankees will be in trouble.
Valya, you refer to the map,"
Speaking of this, while chewing on the juicy roast beef, Long Yun tossed the food on the plate a few times, and pointed to a piece of steak meat in the center of the plate, "This is like the North American continent, and then the blank space on both sides is the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and the edge, of course, is the British Isles and the Japanese archipelago; Of course, the earth is round, so I can't compare the situation on our side, so you can imagine it.
So now, when the strength of the enemy and us is basically equal, and they are also preparing for a 'two-front battle', who is in more trouble?
It is certainly very inconvenient for us to move our troops back and forth from Western Europe to the Far East, either by air or via the Trans-Siberian Railway. As for the Yankees, however, their situation will only be worse: if they were to send troops from Western Europe to the Far East, the route would be across the Atlantic, through the Panama Canal, and then across the Pacific Ocean, and even a warship with a speed of 30 knots, day and night, would take half a month to arriveβand it would be in a state of exhaustion of supplies and lack of men; The second route is to go around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, after all, the Suez Canal is under our control, and then through the Indian Ocean, around Southeast Asia, tsk, this journey is really long enough. β
said this freely, Valentina, who has nothing to do with strategy in her own work, also nodded frequently, she did understand Victor's analysis, and also had her own opinion:
"Makes sense, Victor!
However, I still don't understand one thing, isn't it strange that the Americans have been controlling the world's sea power, but now it seems that this sea power is not helping the war situation? (To be continued......)
