The general secretary's intention is to be prudent. If you use Huaxia's words, it is moderation. Among the previous Soviet general secretaries, Brezhnev was the most mediocre one, but he was the longest in power and won the supported by all.
Only those political survivors who have gone through the great purges and the winter-like Stalin era will cherish the present more. They just need someone who is incompetent to be the general secretary, so that they can keep their positions and their own Only by enjoying inexhaustible power and wealth can we be able to live the most comfortable life.
If all his subordinates pass, then Brezhnev will comply with the intentions of his subordinates and fight the war, everything is for the Soviets! But now, the most important people in his subordinates disagree, and of course Brezhnev will not make a decision.
After discussing a few trivial matters, the meeting broke up like this, Ustinov clenched his fists, and Kirilenko actually suppressed himself like this! It's too much!
In particular, when Kirilenko left at the end, the look he looked at Ustinov made Ustinov quite angry, the expression in that look was very clear, follow me, only follow me, can you ***** go down. Otherwise, none of your proposals will pass!
Andropov on the side, watching the whole process, he was a bystander, and at the same time, he also knew that the final time had finally come! Kirilenko should not offend Ustinov no matter who he offends,
Everyone left, Andropov and Ustinov finally left the venue, and in the corridor, Andropov said to Ustinov: "Marshal Ustinov, I totally agree with your proposal. If we move eastward and open a gap in the Pacific Ocean, we will get a new breakthrough in the Cold War. Now, imperialism is besieging us to death. In Western Europe, unless we really Fight a world war, otherwise we simply cannot break through the blockade of the Western world."
"It's a pity, that Kirilenko's bureaucracy is too serious." Ustinov said: "This guy. How did he sneak into our ****? He also won the trust of the general secretary! "
"Marshal Ustinov, I have a solution to this matter," Andropov said.
Military power! No matter who is the general secretary, there must be a reliable person in control of the military! So, if Andropov has ambitions. You must stand on the same front as the Minister of Defense. At that time, as long as you have the approval of the Minister of Defense, there is no way others will disagree!
The relationship between Ustinov and Andropov was good, but in the struggle between Kirilenko and Andropov, Ustinov remained neutral, and now, Kirilenko's Aggressive, and finally disgusted Ustinov, this is the best chance!
"How?" Ustinov asked.
"Marshal. What do you think should be done if some of our senior leaders secretly liaise with foreign countries and want to defect to the West?" Andropov asked.
"Resolutely strike!" Ustinov said: "The army will give full support!"
This is what you've been waiting for! Andropov knew that at this moment, Kirilenko was finished. Andropov didn't do anything, he just wanted to wait for the army's statement.
Now, although Brezhnev is in good health, many people are already thinking about the position of his successor. If you want to successfully become the next general secretary of the Soviet, you need to start from now on, spare no effort to fight your opponents, and. Can't reveal any flaws yet!
In the upper echelons of Moscow, dark waves are surging, and in the Far East, the situation is getting worse.
March is still a cold season for the Far East. You can see that there is snow all around, and above the head, small snowflakes are still falling.
Sakhalin, an elongated island that stands in the eastern part of the Soviet Far East, is a barrier to the Far East.
Because of its suitable location, Sakhalin Island is quite important in the Soviet Union's strategy. In addition to the air force and air defense bases on the island, the most important thing is that there are also strategic missile launch positions on it!
The reason why the United States and the Soviet Union entered the Cold War is that both sides have a large number of nuclear weapons. If the two sides go to war and enter a hot war, thousands of nuclear warheads can completely blast the other side into slag.
In the process of counter-bombing, it is obvious that the opponent's nuclear weapons base is the first target to be hit. Destroy the other party's nuclear weapons on the ground, and the other party will not be a threat. That's why both sides will care about the second nuclear strike force. The United States focuses on the development of ballistic missile nuclear submarines, while the Soviet Union has various methods. For example, there are also rail-mobile ballistic missiles with their own characteristics, and missiles with multi-wheel drive off-road chassis.
And these are supplements. Land-based missiles are always the most important. Like the current Sakhalin Island, as a frontier position against the United States, there are strategic missile positions on the island that are specifically aimed at the United States.
This is the sharp sword hanging over the heads of Americans! If there is a nuclear war, the ballistic missiles in this base will be the first missiles to fly to the United States!
In order to protect the ballistic missile base here, and also to defend the airspace of the Soviet Union, air defense troops and ground radar units are also stationed here.
At this time, the night sky was already dark, and the further north you went, the shorter the day and the longer the darkness.
However, the snow was white and the reflections illuminated the earth, and the entire Sakhalin Island was shrouded in the icy scenery.
The eastern part of the island is a large radar station. At this time, countless Soviet radar soldiers in cotton coats are busy.
Just two hours ago, a huge gust of wind hit here, and a big tree was swept up by the gust of wind and hit the radar antenna heavily, causing the radar station to be completely paralyzed.
A crane was unfolding at this time, hoisting the tree. In the cold wind, even the soldiers who had adapted to the severe cold of the Soviet Union felt a bit of a biting cold.
"Okay!" Finally, after two hours of emergency repairs, the radar returned to its original appearance. The radar soldiers rubbed their hands together and entered the warm radar room.
"Simonov, turn on the radar." The company commander said to his men.
As each button was turned off, after about a minute of warm-up, finally, a clear bright line appeared on the radar screen.
"Everything is normal." Simonov said, he took off his sheepskin hat, shook the snowflakes on it, and suddenly, his eyes widened: "Report, a large plane is flying in our direction, a distance of three 100 kilometers!" (To be continued.)
