The just-concluded border joint combat exercise successfully made Selov feel a sense of presence again. As the biggest devil of the Soviet Union, the bloodiest executioner, the cunning enemy, and the coldest villain, he once again appeared in the pages of Western newspapers and became the savior of these newspapers every once in a while. Comrade General Political Commissar said it was not bad.

Serov, a representative of the Soviet hardliner who undermined peace amid condemnation, had long been accustomed to accusations. After all, Brezhnev, who loves peace, was already there, and his role must be the war madman Serov. Some newspapers are still kindly reminding the Soviets that peace is hard-won, and that the efforts of the First Secretary of Brezhnev should not be destroyed by Serov. They are even reminding Brezhnev that the youngest among the presidium of the Central Soviet Union is very dangerous and should be eliminated as soon as possible...

In response, the First Secretary of Brezhnev smiled slightly and said that everything was under control. The reason why Selov knew about Brezhnev's reaction was because he had received a surveillance report in the morning. It has to be said that Beria had made too many preparations back then. If it weren't for being killed suddenly, it would have been really scary. Now all these preparations have been accepted by him, the current intelligence leader.

Selov attended the meeting because he was a member of the National Defense Committee, while Ustinov attended the meeting because he was the central secretary in charge of military construction. The Soviet Union's military system and production progress were in his hands.

After listening to the opinions of the Ministry of Defense, the two will conduct evaluations based on the current Soviet economic scale and then formulate production plans. While the US military is still eating rubber in Vietnam, they will formulate a long-term plan to strive to maintain a balance of power with the United States in any aspect for ten years or even longer. In any field, the Soviet Central Presidium is still optimistic about the current situation and believes that it is not a big problem to catch up with the United States' military strength.

The Western Front was the focus of the Soviet Union's competition with the United States. Three-quarters of the Soviet army's troops were deployed in the Soviet Union's European and Eastern Europe, with a total of 3.2 million people. In addition, about 80% of medium- and long-range missiles, 70% of naval forces, 75% of air force and air defense forces were deployed. The deployment of these forces made the Soviet military strength occupy an advantage in Europe. The Soviet military strength was significantly strengthened during the Brezhnev period. Its army has always been very powerful.

This advantage is on the front line of the confrontation in Europe, but in fact, the Soviet Union's military power is still not the opponent of the United States. The United States' military power in Europe is obviously not as large as the Soviet Union. Moreover, the military power of Britain, France and Germany is itself stronger than that of the Soviet Union's allies. The Soviet Union's Eastern European Union's forces are supported by the Soviet Union. No one will deny this. With their own national strength, they will not have the current military scale.

The Soviet Air Force is a main force to compete for the air supremacy of the former Soviet Air Force. The Soviet Air Force is equipped with nearly 10,000 aircraft of various types, all provided by the Soviet aviation industry department. The Soviet aviation industry has an extremely high level of science and technology, and its scale ranks second in the world. It is composed of five aviation forces including the 24th Air Force, the 46th Air Force, the 36th Air Force, and the 30th Air Force. In addition to being equipped with long- and medium-range bombers, the aviation army can fight independently. The Soviet Air Force's strategic bombing mostly uses missiles with long-range attack performance to replace bombs.

As for the Red Navy, the place with the biggest gap between the Soviet Union and the United States, exposed its weaknesses in the Cuban missile crisis. Since then, the Soviet Union has vigorously expanded its navy and built an armed force with ocean combat capabilities. During the Middle East War two years ago, the Soviet Black Sea Fleet entered the Mediterranean and entered the Indian Ocean last year. It is catching up step by step, and the Kirov-class strategic cruiser that left a strong mark in the history of the Cold War has passed the argument, and it can start construction just by waiting for Ustinov to nod.

"Comrade Selov, I heard that the KGB received an information that said the United States might use space to fight?" Ustinov had just arrived at the Ministry of Defense and had not yet talked about the problems of land, sea, air and strategic rocket forces, and directly smelled the space field.

"Well, there is this information, but with current technology, it is unlikely." Selov simply admitted the existence of this information. The KGB heard the news that the United States is conducting a study on the possibility of using outer space to conduct space warfare. This is the first time the Soviet Union has received relevant information. Why did the United States start the Star Wars plan? The Soviet Union immediately accepted it with confidence, and believed that this was not a scam.

It was because the Soviet Union had already received this news in the late 1960s that once Reagan's Star Wars plan was launched, the Soviet Union, which had been doing related research, responded quickly and immediately took over the Red Star Wars plan. Later, a group of monsters appeared in the Soviet Union in the 1980s, such as giant ground-effect aircraft, Blizzard, An 225, and Energy carrier rockets. Many early work had already begun to prepare.

"Even if the possibility is not high, this will not delay our research and research first, and we still need to do relevant technical reserves. I will apply with the Central Presidium and make relevant grants. I believe Comrade Selov also supports it." Ustinov asked without comment, obviously looking forward to this matter.

"The research is fine, I will definitely support it." This kind of secret research is of course costing money, but it is still very cost-effective compared to the expenses after the Star Wars plan is released. Some technologies have enough time to study slowly, and have time pressure to study under the urging of the central government. The latter's pressure and funding are much higher than the former.

As for the big fool Reagan, if he dares to propose a Star Wars plan in this time and space, Schellov is ready to fight and compete with the United States for internal strength in ten years to see who is dead.

After expressing his gratitude, Ustinov began to talk about the main topic and explained the Soviet Union's arms plan for the next few years in front of the old marshals of the Ministry of Defense. Overall, it is to strengthen its army advantages in Europe, maintain the balance of air force, and make up for the disadvantages of maritime power. The navy's short-term goal is to form a balance of power with the US Navy.

Of course, they welcome the soldiers of the Ministry of National Defense, and they welcome any plan to expand their arms. They are still idle enough. These soldiers who have experienced the Patriotic War have one purpose after the war is over, that is, they will never let their descendants fight under difficult conditions. Therefore, even if there are too many tanks in the Soviet Union, they will continue to produce. A battalion of troops has 40,000 assault rifles in the warehouse to prevent the war from not having time to produce when the war comes.

"I have no objection to the increase in domestic military strength, but what we are pursuing is the overall strength. The Soviet Union wants to confront the United States, the United Kingdom, and NATO, and East Asia, Japan, South Korea, the Middle East and Iran. Are we going to handle these countries ourselves? Is our motherland a little too tired?" Selov stood up and said, "In addition to Western Europe, the economic conditions are not bad, but there are still a few countries that are determined to stand on the United States, South Africa, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It has to be said that the old imperialism has left a rich legacy. It will be quite troublesome if these countries mobilize and mobilize forces to stand on the United States. I am going to support Indonesia as an opponent in Australia and New Zealand, but Indonesia's current military strength has no advantage."

"Yura, just say whatever you have!" Ustinov asked in a guessing tone, "What do you mean is to arm allies outside the Warsaw Pact on a large scale? Mobilize the power of these countries and disperse the pressure of our country?"

"Of course this is the case. Will our own country fight the whole world alone?" Shelov thought of the arrogant attitude of the Soviet military in history, and then changed his tone. "Of course I don't doubt you have the determination to do this, but why does our country work so hard? If we defeat the United States, the benefits of our own country are our own country? Can't they contribute some efforts? These allies, such as Egypt, Iraq, and Syria, can completely build larger armies."

"Dive into the potential of allies? It refers to Sudan and Iraq?" Ustinov said to himself, "This is not impossible, after all, these two countries are also socialist countries."

"For example, in the Middle East, we give three or four thousand tanks to each of Syria, Iraq and Egypt. What will happen? Ten thousand tanks, and Israel will encounter a relatively embarrassing situation like Western Europe, that is, they dispatch all the air forces to shoot out all the missiles in stock. The remaining tanks of the three countries can still rush into Israel, and destroy the US spokesperson in the Middle East with the backhand." Selov stood up and opened his arms and gestured, "The surrounding environment of Indonesia needs a strong navy. We can help Indonesia build such a navy. Anyway, the headache is the Americans and Australians. It is not us anyway. My personal meaning is that all the alliances and preparations combined, with 60% of the strength of our Soviet Union, it is enough to shock the surrounding skeletons."

"That is to say, if all our military alliances are added together, if we have 100,000 tanks, they should have 60,000, and we have ten cruisers, and they should have six." Ustinov has to say that this idea is very bold. In fact, the Soviet Union has a certain sense of defense for all the allies, "But what if they feel they don't need us anymore? Isn't this the case for Yugoslavia?"
