Chapter 1008: Cat and Mouse

"That's how it is!" The biggest feeling that decades of experience gave Selov was that he should be justified when lying.

You should be tough in words, but you should be conservative in actual actions. This is the way the United States responds now. Generally speaking, this is also the way the Soviet Union responds. In fact, Selov has taken one risk for decades, which is the time when the Soviet Union attacked Turkey.

In other events, we took advantage of the situation and prepared before the triggering conditions, so that we could lead to a powerful change in the Soviet Union and turning the tide was not a fact.

The Soviet Pacific Fleet was dispatched toward the south, which immediately aroused a fierce reaction from the Pentagon. While a White House spokesman warned the Soviet Union not to expand the incident, the US side also took action and ordered the Third Fleet at the Hawaii port to send an aircraft carrier battle group, followed by another one, because the Seventh Fleet itself was not strong enough to confront the Soviet Pacific Fleet.

From the perspective of confrontation, land and ocean are completely different fields. The attacking parties on the land never think that they have too many troops, but the huge fleet in the vast ocean is at best with hundreds of warships, and the war mode can be completely different on land. Even if the defense party in the ocean far exceeds the opponent's strength, it does not have a sense of security.

There are too many things that a US squadron is chasing Soviet nuclear submarines, not to mention that this time the Soviet Union's Pacific reduced its efforts to fully deploy, and the United States must send more advantageous forces. But I don't know whether the Soviet Union made a confrontational attitude to support Indonesia or had other plans. In this case, it is very logical to send a relatively advantageous fleet to deal with it conservatively.

Deep down, the decision makers of the US Pentagon still do not believe that mainland countries like the Soviet Union would really take advantage of their disadvantages and the navy would be very confrontational to the United States. In order not to expand the incident, the powerful US Pacific Fleet did not dispatch all the powerful US Pacific Fleet, and the Third Fleet sent some forces to Japan and to Indonesia and Australia to guard the waters.

Can we draw the second fleet of the Atlantic Ocean, which is more powerful? No, because the Second Fleet faces a more important Europe, where the Red Flag Baltic Fleet, the most powerful surface power among the four major Soviet fleets. The total tonnage of the Red Flag Baltic Fleet has always been the number one in the Soviet Red Navy. The Pacific Fleet focuses on the water surface, the Northern Fleet focuses on the underwater, and the Baltic Fleet has strong underwater power.

Reagan has always said that the US Navy is too small to control the oceans of the world and is not lying at all. Compared to Warsaw about 100,000 tanks on land, millions of troops have filled every inch of land on the previous line. The larger ocean, no matter how powerful the navy is, has no such effect.

"The Baltic Fleet with the Red Flag is still moving, and the US Second Fleet will not move. The United States can draw three fleets, the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean, the Fifth Fleet in the Persian Gulf, and the Pacific Fleet with some strength." In the meeting room of the Ministry of Defense, Marshal Gorshkov, the commander of the Soviet Red Navy, pointed to a map marking the US naval forces in major waters in the world. It has both main routes, naval bases and supply bases, and is a map intertwined with lines and points.

"The Sixth Fleet was curbed by the Suez Canal, and it is not easy to get over it. Then consider the support of the Fifth Fleet and the Third Fleet!" Selov set his sights on the Persian Gulf, "If our Mediterranean Fleet crosses the Suez Canal quickly and then use the air force to help Egypt withstand the United States. The Sixth Fleet can be considered."

All the Soviet military marshals refused to stop nodding, and that was the truth. Shelov concluded, "If our Mediterranean fleet comes out of the Red Sea, it will hit the Fifth Fleet of the United States head-on. Remember, don't bother with you at that time, and go forward at full speed to Indonesia. We have no time to get entangled with the United States."

"But the ocean duel is not good for us. If we have the support of the coastal country, it will be worth the US Navy." Marshal Gorshkov opposed, "I lost this advantage when I entered the Indian Ocean."

"You can also have this kind of support when you come to Indonesia!" Selov's answer was vague, "Just treat it as a broken battle. A more recent breaking battle can make the US Navy power move around."

In fact, it is a bit disrespectful to the world's second-strongest Soviet Red Navy, which breaks the battle and destroys the enemy's maritime traffic lines. It is one of the styles of maritime offensive warfare. The purpose is to cut off or obstruct the transportation of enemy combat materials and supplement the troops, limit the maritime maneuver, and weaken its combat capabilities. Marine combat usually includes multiple battle operations, which are carried out separately by a certain naval branch or coordinated by various types of troops. The main means are to attack enemy transport ships and escort transport teams, destroy enemy loading and unloading ports, and block the enemy's ship passages.

Letting the Soviet Red Navy act like this actually insult the construction of the Soviet Red Navy for decades. But if Selov chooses to tell the truth, it will be even more belittle the role of the Red Navy.

In essence, even the commander of the Soviet Red Navy himself understood this. The greatest significance of the Red Navy to the Soviet Union is to die! Once the war begins, the Soviet Red Navy will either be annihilated by the US fleet or pull the US navy to die together. No matter which consequence is that the Soviet Red Navy will be completely destroyed, as for winning the naval battle, the Soviet Union never thought that in the Soviet Union's highest decision, the Red Navy would fight the US Navy at the cost of the death of the entire battle, so that the US Navy could not guarantee the security of the ocean. At this time, the Warsaw Pact attacked and occupied Europe on its entire line.

The Red Navy used its own life to buy time for the Soviet tank army, and the Soviet Union's most advantageous tank army to solve the problem! This time, Selov's investment in the Red Flag Pacific Fleet and the Red Flag Mediterranean Fleet was enough for the United States' third, fifth and seventh Fleets to be fooled.

"Now is the time to test the combat readiness capabilities of the Red Navy. The Red Flag Mediterranean Fleet directly skipped the assembly process and began to cross the Suez Canal in batches twenty-four hours later." Serov looked at the time and said, "Give Indonesians support to make this conflict at the level of armed conflict a major event that attracts the attention of the media around the world."

"I will do my best to do my job!" To be honest, Marshal Gorshkov doesn't know why the General Secretary wrestled with the US Navy this time. Only the KGB first vice chairman of the Soviet Union. After Rubiy Yangka, he learned that this matter seemed not so simple, but he did not make any guesses.

The dispatch of the Soviet Red Navy's Red Flag Pacific Fleet shocked half of the world. The reason for half is that European countries said that the situation was stable. Although European countries occupied a small number of people in the entire world, they were very important. At present, what Western European countries are seeing is the decrease in Soviet Eastern European troops, all US-Soviet medium-range missiles were destroyed, and the world was peaceful and prosperous.

The situation in Europe has improved unprecedentedly in decades, which is completely different from the tension in Southeast Asia. Under such circumstances, European countries naturally cannot empathize. For Europeans, dying one person in Europe is a big deal, and at least 100,000 or 80,000 people in other places can arouse the sympathy of Europeans.

The fierce accusations between the Kremlin and the White House are not a big deal. Haven’t this been the case for decades? They have experienced the terrifying scenes of the Berlin crisis and the Cuban missile crisis. How can the United States and the Soviet Union have a good thing? After the incident in the Rhine Camp broke out, the reputation of both countries was lost.

Regarding the verbal battles in the newspapers, the Europeans said that this was just a fun thing. The affairs of the United States and the Soviet Union had nothing to do with us. If the British insisted on getting in and getting involved, please do not bring us France and Germany.

"Now I order the Red Flag Mediterranean Fleet to cross the Suez Canal in batches and join the Red Flag Pacific Fleet." Twenty-four hours later, Marshal Gorshkov, commander of the Soviet Red Navy, formally issued an order.

This time it was still at night. Major bases of the Soviet Red Navy in the Mediterranean received telegrams from Moscow, and Soviet naval warships from Greece, Syria and Egypt all left the port and entered a state of alert.

The gray-painted warship slashed huge waves while moving at full speed, showing its unique beauty. Soviet warships leaving the port of Alexandria, Egypt first reached the Suez Canal. At the same time, the first deputy commander of the Soviet Military Advisory Group in Egypt arrived at the Suez Canal Management Office and presented special instructions from the Egyptian ruler Mubarak.

At this moment, Soviet Foreign Minister Gromiko was ready to visit him. This time, the Soviet Union was preparing to use the international credit accumulated over the past few decades, and Selov was preparing to fight this confrontation as a decisive battle.

With the cooperation of the Suez Canal Management Office, the Soviet warships arrived at the Suez Canal and crossed the river very quickly. However, this was also seen by those who were interested. One and a half hours later, the Soviet warships that crossed the river first entered the Red Sea.

The warships of the Soviet Red Flag Mediterranean Fleet departing from Syria and Greece are still moving forward. Such a big deal was photographed by American spy satellites over the Suez Canal. The Red Flag Mediterranean Fleet, one of the four Soviet fleets, gathered like the previous Red Flag Pacific Fleet, and the news was quickly reported to the White House and the Pentagon.
