MTL - Big Time 1958-Chapter 926 Bloody America

"The total number of Chinese soldiers is about 3.8 million, slightly surpassing my country in number and ranking first in the world. After the disarmament three years ago, we have reduced a lot of pressure. Of course, this is gradually related to the relationship between our two countries. Recovery matters."

   Defense Minister Marshal Ahromeyev gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the Soviet Union's eastern neighbors. In addition to Comrade Defense Minister, Marshal Sokolov, Chief of General Staff, and Marshal Kulikov, Commander-in-Chief of the Warsaw Armed Forces. It is not difficult at all to find a few marshals who dare to fight as military commanders from the Soviet Union.

"Reagan's move is not surprising at all. It's easy to see a zero-sum game. Unite with China to trouble us and solve the biggest threat." Shelov said indifferently to several military leaders, "A normal move, If I did the same, Reagan had to deal with the power of the Soviet Union and reach a certain compromise."

   How did Reagan feel about socialism, needless to say? But the United States faced China and the Soviet Union at the same time. Even the United States, which is fighting chicken blood, can't do it. In the 1950s, the advantages of the United States were much greater than they are now. Stabilize China first, concentrate on attacking the Soviet Union, and after the main enemy, the Soviet Union, can be easily beaten back to kill China, which has yet to gain momentum. Beautifully completed the United States' counterattack this time.

   Think beautifully! It's unfortunate enough for the Soviet Union to produce a map by itself. For Reagan, this is a pie in the sky, and he expects both countries to produce brainless leaders? It is better to pray that God appears to prove its existence, and there is a great hope of disintegrating the atheism of the Soviet Union.

  Reagan, who was re-elected, immediately forgot his pre-election proposition and kicked out the scam. Continuous visits to China, and for the Soviet Union, the most direct consideration is whether the Marshals of the Ministry of Defense worry that nearly four million soldiers will turn around and become the enemy of the Soviet Union.

"General Secretary, are we properly strengthening some eastern border guards?" Defense Minister Marshal Ahromeyev proposed very seriously. From the confidence of Marshal Ustinov, in his eyes, except for the US military, he is aliens. After the death of the Minister of Defense, the newly appointed Minister of Defense, Marshal Akhromeyev, became a very realistic commander again. The very tangled thinking of the Soviet military returned. This kind of thinking, Serov understands, there are always The trolls want to harm me...

After understanding, the general secretary still would not agree with the other party's opinion, and directly refused, "There are so many countries bordering the Soviet Union, do we want to pursue absolute military superiority over any neighboring country? You must know that our border is the longest in the world. Yes! What's more, the military advantage itself is in our hands, and strengthening it is only to consolidate this advantage, and it is not necessary at all."

"But the necessary precautions must also be made." Marshal Sokolov, Chief of the General Staff, sided with Defense Minister Ahromeyev. Before the 1970s, China's explosive posture could scare the world. , and of course the Soviet Union. Who doesn't have a headache when encountering such a neighbor? The other party's manpower is still so abundant?

It's a pity that the general secretary is obviously lacking in energy, and his attitude is becoming more and more like Hawking's development. This attitude is that he has not listened to the opinions of several marshals. Even the second secretary Ligachev who was present was embarrassed. Not to remind the general secretary, pay attention to the occasion.

   When Ligachev's embarrassment became more and more serious, the general secretary woke up. On the one hand, it was also because several marshals had finished expressing their thoughts, and the general secretary with a flash of light in his eyes reminded everyone that it was just you who had an illusion.

Reaching out her hand, little Valiya directly brought a Russian document, which was translated by the KGB, Serov, who held the document, said, "This is a public document issued by the military commission of our neighboring country, you can take a look at it. Look, it was just three days ago."

   Marshal Ahromeyev, Marshal Sokolov, and Marshal Kulikov nodded and took over the reading. The expressions on their faces were very solemn. Obviously, the contents above made these marshals very interested.

   "Now, should you rest assured?" Serov smiled while staring at the document in his hand, "What do you think? A commercialized army? How much combat power is there? Is it an opponent of our Soviet armed forces?"

   Marshal Ahromeyev, Marshal Sokolov, and Marshal Kulikov looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

"That's right, whether it's fighter jets, tanks, grass-roots firepower, we are far more than China, the only shortcoming is that the other party's number is a little more than us, but this is not irreparable, our armament can offset the other party's The number advantage, the only thing to worry about is the spiritual level." Shelov looked at the marshals and said coldly, "Now that the other party has disarmed their spiritual weapons, the situation has changed from their respective advantages to our overall advantages."

   "Do you want to increase the armed forces on the eastern border?" Serov easily asked several military leaders.

   "From the current situation, it should not be necessary." Marshal Ahromeyev considered for a moment not to mention the expansion of the army.

"Well, now I want to make some adjustments to the border armed forces. The KGB border guards will take over the ports in various places and crack down on cross-border smuggling. The armed forces of the military will withdraw from the daily border management, and the armed forces of the Soviet Union will withdraw from contact with China." Shelov Not only did he not agree to the opinions of several leaders of the Ministry of Defense, but also the Soviet armed forces led by the Ministry of Defense were separated from the daily maintenance of the border. In the future, the eastern border of the Soviet Union will be handed over to the border guards.

   Several marshals nodded in agreement, saluted Serov and Ligachev, and left the Kremlin to go back to the Ministry of Defense.

   "Our leadership in the field of thinking is being consolidated like never before." Serov said to Ligachev.

   "It's like this, General Secretary." Ligachev understood and brought Yugoslavia and Albania back on the right track. It was only a superficial phenomenon, but the inside was that the Soviet Union had no country to challenge it in the ideological field. The Soviet Union is socialism, and no country can question it now.

  Serov can easily find from history that among the theories that can have an impact on the Soviet Union, all advocates are more revolutionary theories, the Trotskyists during the Stalin period, from China to Albania after the war.

"For many years, we have been attacked by two sides, one is the reformists of the European Communist Party, and the other is the group of people who think that we are not revolutionary enough. In terms of harm, the reformists are not our opponents at all, because Europe No matter how the Communist Party reforms, it will only make them look like socialists. The latter is a huge threat, and now..." Serov made a sudden pause, but his voice firmed up again, "This threat has disappeared!"

   At least in sight, there will not be any more existing socialist country that can challenge the Soviet Union ideologically and theoretically.

   "But can we get back on track in the future?" Ligachev didn't want to see countries of the same camp doing this.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little embarrassing. Although the Soviet Union was angry with China for its repeated confrontation with itself, it was not without the idea of ​​restoring the relationship in the 1950s. Both Khrushchev and Brezhnev had tried it. But the progress made now compared to history, that is, there is no direct firefight. Cold war and restrained friendliness…

"They may need an elder to restore the value of the country, be cautious and practical, just like Brezhnev, but our general secretary's life-term cadre is best not to appear in other countries." Shelov stood up and tidied up his clothes and said, "I'm going to rest for a few days. I'll be back after Reagan's visit. You lead the secretariat to deal with some issues."

  Ligachev nodded, even if the general secretary was not in the Kremlin, there would be no challenger. Anyone who questioned the authority, as long as they saw the four police cadres who stayed in Moscow, all the intrigues and tricks lacked the courage to implement them in this situation.

   In terms of character, Serov is more inclined towards Khrushchev and does not conform to the image of a leader in the definition of the Soviets.

On the surface, Reagan's trip to China was a lot easier. The Great Wall and the Terracotta Warriors left his footprints. Under this relaxed itinerary, the main thing was the same, and the negotiations between the two sides were going on all the time. The U.S. government has successively announced that it will allow the export of military-applicable technologies to China, abolish the prohibition on the export of weapons of destruction to China, and list China as a friendly African ally in technology transfer. In terms of science and technology, the two sides signed a cooperation agreement on the peaceful use of nuclear energy, and an agreement on cooperation and exchange in science and technology and education. In terms of economy and trade, the two countries signed a textile trade agreement, a maritime agreement and a memorandum on satellite launch.

  Reagan did set a higher price than Serov, and Serov did not dare to agree to so many conditions at the risk of hollowing out the Soviet Union.

   "Don't worry about these things, there's nothing to be afraid of. Do whatever you want, and don't put pressure on China." Shelov put down the phone and walked to the automatic gas station. After manually refueling, go inside and find the only staff member to pay.

   "Don't let me rest!" Little Valia, wearing sunglasses, muttered a little dissatisfied after the general secretary had paid the money. The two disguised as father and daughter were secret agents, and they were not recognized by others.

   "The next stop is Yaroslavl? Don't talk nonsense, this matter is really important, and the secretariat report should be!" Serov calmed the restless little girl. The two general secretaries didn't run very far, they just drove out and wandered around.

   He can’t drive the general secretary, and he will soon enter the Hawking state. Reagan’s desperate move is equivalent to the beginning of the hollowing out of the United States, that is, the military power of China in later generations is far from the United States. If China had the relative military strength of the Soviet Union, what the number one imperialist country would have been kicked down from its status as a world hegemon.
