"The current situation is very different from ten years ago. At that time, our allies were Eastern European countries. It can be said that we could protect them. But now, whether it is Sudan in Africa or Indonesia in Southeast Asia, they are far away from us. In this case, they must have a certain ability to resist, at least for us to support us." Selov emphasized this point in particular. This point is actually very important. Syria, which was isolated in later generations, relied on the resistance of thousands of tanks given to it by the Soviet Union during the Cold War in the first two years, proved that it was not A Dou and eventually received assistance from Russia that had weakened to the extreme.

So don't look at some tanks that are no longer advanced, and even after the T64 is put into production, it seems a little behind. But it is completely different from that of none. Soviet weapons have always been suitable for mass production, and they are slightly worse than that of the United States. The number of both sides is different. The number of Soviet tanks is three or four times that of the other side every year. Western Europe's mass advantage is not able to smooth out this quantity gap. All NATO aircraft took off and bombed the Soviet tank cluster and fired up all the bombs. The remaining tanks of the Soviet Union can still flatten Europe.;

"Actually, there is no need to be such an extreme yet. I think that our country and allied countries have 100,000 tanks. We can achieve this goal in ten years after a little speed." After the final summary, the parties involved sat down and waited for the opinions of others. Selov was just a suggestion. Whether it could be implemented depends on Ustinov.

In fact, it mainly depends on whether Ustinov can straighten out the progress of military production. The attitude of the marshal of the Ministry of Defense here is not important. They all agree with any idea of ​​increasing the strength of the Red Army.

"Although it's quite nervous, it can still be completed. I'll plan it and see if the progress can catch up." Ustinov thought for a while, and did not say anything to death when answering.

The Soviet Union's easing policies, domestic economic reforms, and arms races were all carried out simultaneously. Since the first time of the establishment of the Soviet Union, this kind of catching up with several things has always existed. After all, external pressure has always existed, and there is no chance for the country to accumulate bit by bit.

If the Chinese-Superior events in later generations were small steps, then because the enemy was stronger than China, it can be said that this strategy was to run fast. It was risky to chase the United States at any time. The arms race must be carried out. The Soviet Union did not have the qualification to be peaceful. This was not a matter for a country. The Soviet Union had to support all its allies. Instead of managing its own affairs like China.

It is necessary to reach a military balance with the United States, which is the common decision of the entire Central Bureau. Except for Kosigin's reservation, this is the established plan of all other members. Taking advantage of the United States' quagmire, it is as important as developing the domestic economy.

Then this should not be just arming himself, and the arms of all allies must be considered. At the subsequent meeting of the Central Presidium, Brezhnev approved Ustinov's arms exhibition plan after soliciting extensive consent. This is certain that Brezhnev needs the support of the army. Otherwise, he, the first secretary, would be a weak secretary.

"I think once this plan is completed, while maintaining the advantage of the 6th Army, we can maintain a balanced air force while maintaining the strength of the air force, and greatly narrow the gap between the navies between the two sides. The short-term goal is to build an army with 80% of the strength of the US Navy." Ustinov talked freely, "A global navy must be established. This is the common meaning of Marshal Gorshkov and I. Our navy must have a capability, that is, the ability to conduct comprehensive combat with half of the US aircraft carriers at the same time. Tear off the route and let our powerful nuclear submarine formation go deep into the ocean."

"So this not only requires improving the strength of the navy, but also providing sufficient air cover for the navy's naval operations. We need a heavy bomber group for penetration, and the relevant basic reserves and plans have been handed over to me by the Tupolev Design Bureau. I don't think there is any problem. With the strength of the heavy bomber group and the Red Navy, we can fight head-on with the US Navy." Ustinov said confidently, "Plus with our submarine force, we will definitely have the power to fight."

"For the consideration of total war, the navy we need is the navy that can die with the US Navy. To be honest, this definition is unfair to the navy, but it is indeed true." Selov sighed and took Ustinov's words, "under such strategic considerations, the mission of the Red Navy is to take the initiative to attack, take the initiative in combating the US Navy, and fire heavy missiles before the US aircraft carrier formation aircraft arrives. Then the Red Navy can only wait for death, a very sad strategy."

Hearing Ustinov's words, Selov knew that this heavy bomber that covers the Red Navy's attack should be the Tu22 counterfire bomber that put strong pressure on China during the Cold War. In fact, the original intention of the construction of the counterfire bomber was to deal with the US Navy, and putting huge pressure on China was only a side effect.

"But there is no way to do this. As long as our Red Navy can guarantee death with the US Navy, it will be equivalent to making contributions to the victory of other branches of the army. We border Europe, and the United States and Europe are separated from the Atlantic Ocean. Without the escort of the navy, the United States will be completely unable to support Europe." Ustinov's answer was very unmoved. Under the consideration of a total war, the mission of the Soviet Navy is to sacrifice, and to trade life for life to exchange equal amounts of the weakest branches of the Soviet Union and the strongest branches of the United States.

According to this guiding ideology, while the Red Navy continued to build its underwater nuclear fleet, it also began to vigorously build large surface ships and long-range aviation units carrying various types of anti-ship missiles. In Nikolayevsk, Leningrad and Gongqingcheng in the Far East, nuclear submarines and large surface ships walked off the ship like a lantern.

While the scale of troops continues to rise, the Red Navy's various tactical approaches have also begun to take shape. In view of the large number of ships in the US aircraft carrier formation and strong survivability of large and medium-sized ships, the Red Navy has specially tailored the tactics for them to use multi-sound anti-ship missile volley attacks, and strives to paralyze the US fleet's air defense system with the tactics of multiple missiles at the same time. The specific tactical methods are: first focus on the missile cruisers that perform regional air defense in the aircraft carrier formation, destroying the lead ships, etc., so that the enemy loses the ability to use ship-air missile missile missiles to perform regional air defense; the second wave of missiles concentrates on attacking aircraft carriers, striving to make it lose its combat capability or sink it.

"In principle, I agreed to about 60 large-scale military projects involving various services, including the new tanks of the 6th Army, the construction progress of the navy, the strategic bombers of the Air Force, and the transport aircraft of the airborne troops. There are also military construction for the five countries of Iraq, Indonesia, Sudan, Egypt and Syria." Ustinov took out his report and put the final decision on the hands of the Central Bureau.

"I agree that it has been more than seven years since the Cuban missile crisis, and the construction results of the Red Navy are obvious to all. Our navy is already qualified to occupy a place in the ocean. In many places, we do not have a strong navy, so our strength is not radiated enough." Selov voted for approval first, and this performance is no surprise. At the meeting of the Central Presidium, he either did not attend the general meeting, and he voted for approval as long as he participated. As of now, no objection has been expressed.

It’s not that he wants to do this, but as a security cadre, Selov must restrain himself from interfering in other people’s work. Belia’s grave is three feet tall, so he doesn’t want to learn from this past.

"We must respect the opinions of the marshals of the Ministry of Defense. They are professional soldiers. Besides, Yula, as security cadres, thinks it is feasible, so there is no problem at all." Brezhnev and Kirilenko looked at each other, and did not forget to hold down the statement of Selov, the security expert, as their basis.

This military exhibition plan, which can be regarded as a huge from any angle, then made a breakthrough in the Kremlin.

Navy Commander Marshal Gorshkov received the news first. In his speech a few days later, he couldn't hide his excitement. He shouted loudly to hundreds of naval generals, "Red Navy, march towards the ocean."

"We must put the bayonet on the chest of the Americans, and before the aircraft carrier battle group's planes arrive, we must use missiles to send them all to the bottom of the sea." Marshal Gorshkov did not hide the global existence of the Soviet Navy at all.

After World War II, the US Navy finally faced a real challenge. The Soviet Red Navy, which was flying the sickle and hammer flag, was ready to make its own voice for the first time. Soon, several American newspapers teased the challenge of the Soviet Red Navy, "Let's see if this fleet is really possible as our opponent."

However, compared to the media's optimism, the US Navy, as an opponent, rarely looked at its opponent without fierce words, but cautiously. More than 20 years after the end of World War II, the generals of the US Navy felt the threat of a thorn on their back for the first time when they set their sights on the largest country in the world.

"I think about next year, we can consider holding an overall combat exercise to experiment with our results, covering four oceans and seven important sea areas. In fact, we can also consider returning to Guantanamo Bay and establishing a Caribbean fleet." Marshal Gorshkov thought of that important port.
