MTL - Big Time 1958-Chapter 915 a pair of mentally ill

   In fact, an intermediate-range nuclear treaty has a limited effect on the reduction of the total nuclear weapons of the Soviet Union and the United States, only one-twentieth to one-thirtieth of their respective nuclear weapons. Signing or not signing only has a certain symbolic meaning, which is to mention the geographical advantage of the United States. The Soviet medium-range missiles have no threat to the United States at all, but can only threaten Western Europe.

  Soviet missiles could not hit the United States. The U.S. medium-range missiles can hit the Soviet Union's deep homeland: "Pershing-2" missiles can hit Moscow Oblast with maximum range, while land-based cruise missiles can almost hit the Urals. Given this geostrategic asymmetry, Moscow is extremely interested in a treaty banning the missile. Washington, on the other hand, does not want to sign such a treaty at all, but is under intense pressure from American society and from NATO allies fearing an intensifying nuclear confrontation on the European continent.

   Therefore, the countries most enthusiastic about the signing of the INF Treaty between the Soviet Union and the United States are the European countries such as the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, France, and the United Kingdom. These countries always have a feeling of being kidnapped by the Soviet Union, so they have been asking the United States and the Soviet Union to reduce nuclear weapons.

   This mentality is that you can aim your strategic nuclear weapons at each other, but don’t use Europe as a battlefield. Anyway, for the United States and the Soviet Union, medium-range missiles themselves are only a small part of the nuclear arsenal.

   Judging from the number of missiles reduced by both sides, the Soviet Union is very disadvantaged. Because the number of medium-range missiles that the Soviet Union has to cut is more than twice that of the United States, of course, this has advantages and disadvantages, but from a strategic point of view, even if the Soviet Union destroys ten times as many as the United States, it is also beneficial to the Soviet Union: you know, This means that for it, an integral part of the strategic nuclear threat has disappeared. For the continental United States, the treaty does not reduce any threat. Soviet medium-range missiles could not reach the United States.

  To this day, negotiations have continued on and off for many years, and more than a hundred meetings have been held. Serov concluded that the United States is not willing to withdraw medium-range missiles at all, so he has been advocating non-negotiation with Ustinov and continuing confrontation.

   This is of course not Serov's purpose. He also wants to relieve the threat of medium-range missiles to the Soviet Union, but he can't learn to keep making concessions to achieve his goal. Instead, act like I have a big advantage. During the seven or eight years of negotiations, at first the United States only thought that the Soviet Union was pretending, but later found that the Soviet Union was really not going to talk about this.

   After Reagan came to power, he was under great pressure, especially after the Plaza Accord. Western Europe hoped that Reagan would show a little sincerity and not let the Soviet Union and the United States always take Europe as a hostage in confrontation. For seven or eight years the Soviet Union had not been interested in such unfair negotiations, and Reagan was willing to make this gesture to appease Europe.

   But isn't it? Now the Soviet Union's disinterest is over. If peace continues, the INF Treaty will be unfair to the Soviet Union, but if war comes and no nuclear weapons are deployed on the European continent, how happy the Soviet Union will be. Lao Tzu's tank army is finally useful. The remaining short-range missiles can't even reach Poland. Do you want to fight the Soviet Union?

   If this treaty is reached, there is only one disadvantage, that is, it will undermine Serov's authority. But the general secretary didn't care. He kept a group of old people in the Central Presidium, just because he was afraid that a few capable committee members would come out and challenge him with this matter. And it's impossible for Tykhonov and the others...

  Selov and General Bagramyan talked about this issue in depth, and it is also very uncomfortable to always hold it alone. According to the current progress, the chance of launching a war against the Federal Republic of Germany is zero! It is zero. The Soviet tank army cannot carry so many medium-range missiles to attack. Medium-range missiles are the biggest obstacle to the Soviet attack. Those nuclear cannons, nuclear mortars are not considered.

There are some favorable factors in this historical time and space. Because the Soviet Union is about to confront the United States’ counter-offensive, some of Reagan’s small actions did not come in handy. For example, the Soviet Union shot down a South Korean civil airliner, and the Soviet Union’s seven-hour nuclear war exercise was not held either. It is said that the historical hostility between the Soviet Union and the United States has gradually increased from the 1980s to 100%, but now the process of escalation has been skipped and it has directly reached 70%. Makes some of Reagan's rogue moves unnecessary. The hostility now has enough weight...

   "In fact, why do Western European countries do this, those nuclear weapons are protecting them." General Bagramyan shook his head. He was a soldier, and he couldn't understand for a while there were too many things involved.

"Because medium-range missiles will only threaten Western Europe, and the United States is fine. The most important reason is that normal people will not start a nuclear war. The Cold War has been going on for forty years!" Serov pointed to his nose and said, "A lot of Everyone thought that I was just another Khrushchev who happened to meet an opponent who also loved acting. Reagan and I were a pair of psychopaths..."

With the current situation, no one will live a good life but think about how to die together, but Reagan felt that it was necessary to weaken the Soviet Union or even defeat it. Serov also thought so. Except for the two of them, the leaders of other countries did not think so. Instead, he thought that the fate of the two big brothers was not good, and such two people were the top leaders.

   "It's as if you know Reagan very well!" General Bagramyan smiled, still feeling that this matter was unreasonable.

certainly! Serov didn't say anything. What kind of person Reagan was and what kind of way of thinking was best understood by his concubine.

   Serov and Reagan have always had no interest in meeting each other. This does not delay the continuous matchmaking of enthusiastic European leaders. If the INF Treaty can really be signed, the two will really inevitably have to meet.

   Years later, the general secretary did not go to work immediately, but went to a very secret testing ground. In terms of dimensions, it was close to the Arctic Circle, and it was a wasteland that did not even grow coniferous forests. However, there is still a small city here, but it is now abandoned, and all the staff have been evacuated.

  This small town was originally used for gold mining. It was abandoned in the late 1970s and is now being used for experiments. Because it is close to the Arctic Circle, the temperature here is much lower than in Moscow, close to minus forty degrees. There is not a single settlement within 300 kilometers. There may be some Chuvashi people, but it should not cause harm to them.

If there is life in the city, this city that only appeared on the military map is dead. The ruins are not an abandoned garage, an abandoned farmhouse, an abandoned factory, but the whole city. After a while, the city buildings The Portland cement of , streets, and streets was weathered into sand, and the steel and profiles were rusted and turned into metal slag. The cottage was turned into sawdust and dirt.

This abandoned city five years ago has not yet reached the final stage. At least many buildings are very complete. After simple maintenance, you can move in. Of course, it is best not to come in winter. It took a long time for the inner guard to freeze. The heating system was restarted, and from the window, a picture of Lenin printed on the level of a building not far away could be seen.

   Equipment that has not been transported away, scrap profiles, sports equipment, Kamaz cars, Lada cars, Muscovites, are all thrown away in a disorderly manner. Here, there is no fear of being stolen or whether he is rotten or not. Because even if you move him, there is no road to transport it.

  Like Chernobyl, the general secretary came all the way to see the world with a scientific attitude, and at the same time as a tourist, but mainly to see the experimental data with his own eyes. He certainly wouldn't have come a year ago, because it's really similar to Chernobyl, where a nuclear leak experiment is being conducted.

   The maximum extent of pollution that can be caused by 1.5 kilograms of weapons-grade uranium, and how to create greater nuclear pollution. Research is carried out here. After several experiments, the data on the greatest damage has been released. These nuclear physicists who wear radiation protection suits every day have completed their tasks.

Good steel should be used on the edge of the knife. Shelov must know how to use the limited pollution sources to make the greatest effect. It is best not to be discovered immediately. After all, the energy of Kodak's nuclear reactor is far worse than that of nuclear power plants. It is standing in a densely populated area. Cheap. As for whether this test is harmful or not, the general secretary of atheism does not care.

   Soon, Serov left here, and at the same time ordered the city to be abandoned again. All the participants signed confidential documents, and went to the KGB to report at the same time. All experimental materials were confiscated, and all the animals used for the experiments were killed.

From now on, when Serov is busy at work, he begins to carefully formulate the battle plan again. The last time he was so serious, it was when he was cleaning up Turkey. is subject to revision at any time. Like last time, the general secretary didn't tell anyone.

"If I was exploding a big Ivan from Novaya Zemlya, the entire defense system in Europe would be completely destroyed, right? At that time, electronic interference was turned on, can we get 24 hours?" The general secretary is very serious When considering this possibility, I believe that no equipment can withstand 100 million tons of nuclear weapons, and all equipment should be burned out.

   No, we still need to continue the argument! When the general secretary was studying whether there was a world war to add to the fun, General Chebrikov came from Lubyanka and brought some latest information about the Middle East.

"The South Azerbaijanis want to merge into the Soviet Union?" Serov frowned and said silently for a moment, "This kind of thinking is not good for us at all, and it is not good at all. Could it be a rumor spread by the Americans? It must be reported to the Iranian People's Party. Expressing our position, the Soviet Union will never endorse this matter, and at any time there is hope for the territorial integrity of Iran.
