Chapter 150 Yazov
The leader's words were all polite words. The battle plan had been drawn up long ago, so it was not the turn of the people present to speak! Andre really didn't know his own limitations. If he said something inappropriate, he would offend a lot of people!
However, Andre was so bold that the idea he proposed shocked everyone.
Fantastic, fantastic, is war a joke? The Soviet Union's best skill is the rolling armored torrent. Is this okay? However, this time it is a cross-sea battle, which can be said to be the first time in Soviet history, and Andre's method cannot be said to be impossible.
"We have to be quick and reach an agreement before the Americans react. Then, we will have diplomatic negotiations with the Americans. In short, we can no longer give up the territory we have occupied. Unless the United States wants to fight World War III with us, the Americans will have no choice but to agree." Andre said, "Of course, my plan is just a suggestion. The details still need to be simulated by the Ministry of National Defense."
"Andrei, you have a good idea." Ustinov has already affirmed Andrei's proposal, but he needs to consider it carefully before deciding on the final method.
"Andrei, you are the pride of our Far East Military District. Only you can come up with this tactic." Hearing that Ustinov had agreed, the senior military district official who came with Ustinov to the Air Defense Force Command said in admiration.
He has thick eyebrows, a crew cut, a determined look in his eyes, a slightly upturned mouth, and the lines on his sides are so resolute. This officer in his fifties is still full of energy.
Looking at this person, Andre's mind suddenly started to tremble, and he quickly connected it with the impression of later generations.
Dmitri Timofeyevich Yazov! This hero who was once the pillar of the Soviet Union and tried to save the Soviet Union from disintegration with his own efforts, but ultimately failed!
Yazov was born in Omsk on November 8, 1923. He experienced the brutal World War II and studied at the Moscow Infantry School and the Military Academy of the General Staff of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic after the war. From 1961 to 1974, he served as regiment commander, division commander, army commander, and army group commander.
In 1974, he began to serve as the director of the Main Directorate of Cadre Training of the USSR Ministry of Defense. In 1976, he served as the first deputy commander of the Far Eastern Military District. Now, he is still the deputy commander of the Far Eastern Military District.
In later history, he was appointed commander of the Central Army Group in 1979, commander of the Central Asian Military District in 1980, and commander of the Far Eastern Military District in 1984. In January 1987, he served as Deputy Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union and concurrently served as Director of the General Administration of Cadre Training. In May of the same year, he served as Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union until the incident in 1991 ended.
What is most striking is Yazov's attitude during that period. He adhered to the socialist stance, emphasized national unity, actively opposed ethnic separatism, and firmly advocated the implementation of a state of emergency when necessary.
This is a tough man, and he is also a person who wholeheartedly supports the Soviets! Andrei has great respect for this man.
Andrei didn't know that he had a very good impression on Yazov. This young man was a promising talent! Just now, after hearing Andrei's suggestion, Yazov was also shocked. At the same time, he also knew that Andrei's proposal, although it sounded mysterious, was highly feasible and could quickly achieve his strategic goals!
Andre is not only an excellent pilot and a brave and resolute socialist fighter, but also has strategic insight and tactical sudden command ability. He is a good seedling!
"Serve the Soviets." Andrei said calmly in response to Yazov's praise: "To drive the Americans back to their own country and to plant the sickle and hammer flags all over the world is our ideal!"
"Yes, let's plant our flags all over the world!" Ustinov was also very proud.
…………
"What a shame! Our military always messes things up!" In the White House, Carter sat in a chair with a grim look on his face.
Originally, I thought I could teach the Soviets a severe lesson, and then publicize it everywhere, both to show off my own victory and to exaggerate the aggressive nature of the Soviets, which would be a good way to put an end to this passenger plane incident.
But what about now? The most advanced fighter planes from the Air Force and Navy went there, but they still messed up. They didn't shoot down the Soviet planes, but they lost more than a dozen of their own planes!
That was the most advanced fighter! The Air Force boasted about how great the F-15 was, but in the end, it still couldn't beat the Soviets!
"This was an accident. The Navy's carrier-based aircraft did not cooperate well, and the Soviets actually used bombers to intimidate our aircraft carrier formation." Defense Secretary Harold Brown said: "However, this time we have also tested the Soviets' bottom line. The Soviets are not willing to have too much conflict with us. They are also worried that the world war will break out again."
There was only a gap of twenty years between the First World War and the Second World War. Now, thirty years have passed since the end of the Second World War. The East and the West are in confrontation. Will the next world war break out?
Judging from the current situation, the Soviets are still relatively restrained. For example, although they launched bombers, the bombers did not carry missiles, just to scare people. For example, the air battle that broke out between the two sides this time, the Soviets did not publicize it, and everything was very calm.
Times have changed. The United States and the Soviet Union both possess large numbers of nuclear weapons. If a war really breaks out, the world will be destroyed. Both sides are exercising restraint.
Since neither side wants a world war to break out, this incident is just a serious confrontation during the Cold War. Both sides are very restrained and the situation will gradually ease.
The domestic public protests will gradually pass. In short, the government does not have to say anything or do anything. President Carter only needs to go to Congress to answer questions. At most, the matter can be pushed to the CIA and a scapegoat can be found.
Although it is very unpleasant to think about this and the government has been involved in a scandal, we still have to look forward.
At this moment, no one present knew that a bigger crisis was waiting for them, and this was an unsolvable crisis!
It is already April, and the warm current from the Pacific Ocean is blowing over the island country. Spring has arrived, and the entire island country is full of vitality.
Hokkaido, the coldest island among all the island countries, has a green and vibrant appearance all around except for the snow on the mountain tops in the middle. Kushiro City in the east of Hokkaido is also busy.
