"We have never had such a great advantage over NATO. This depends on the improvement of the overall geographical environment. The liberation of the southern front will inevitably bring some favorable reactions, and our deployment will also change." Selov put down his teaching stick and returned to his position and sat down and continued, "Of course, because of the reduction of pressure, appropriate disarmament can also begin."

No one wants to have so many foreign troops on his territory. Selov can understand this. Even though he understands, he still has to do this. The deployment of military forces forward puts greater pressure on NATO, which is something that must be done.

"Because of NATO's complete failure in the south, in order to maintain balance, the Federal Republic of Germany carried out a new round of military expansion. The Federal Republic of Germany's defense force was originally about 500,000. According to our news, on this basis, it is necessary to expand 250,000 people to 750,000. Once the People's Army of Democratic Germany is completed, it will be under unprecedented pressure." Soviet Defense Minister Marshal Grechko said meaningfully, "We must give a response."

The German People's Army is not weak, with 80 tanks, 7,620 two armored vehicles, 2,500 artillery pieces; 400 combat aircraft, 90 helicopters; and 191 ships. It is not weak in any area, but it is not enough to see the front line of the European confrontation. The German People's Army has only 170,000 people.

"Yes, if we face the Federal Republic of Germany, the military strength of the two countries will be even more unbalanced." Major General Heinz Handek, commander of the Third Army of the Democratic German People's Army, nodded and replied. Due to historical reasons, the front-line commanders are generally relatively low, and the rank of generals at the commander level of the army is not high. However, soldiers with a level of not complicated and specific work are not listed here.

The number of defense troops in West Germany is 490,000, three legions and thirteen divisions. Most of the light weapons come from the US-made artillery and military artillery, and rely on the NATO air defense system. As far as the ground forces are concerned, West Germany is in a defensive position, but may not dare not fight the East German People's Army. The problem is that the Soviet Union's main cluster in Democratic Germany exists.

"We all know that in addition to the large gap in the number of tanks, Democratic Germany has no less artillery and armed helicopters than the Federal Republic of Germany. The most imbalanced part is manpower. The population of the Federal Republic of Germany is far greater than that of Democratic Germany, which does not mention the blood-sucking of Democratic Germany at the beginning." Selov looked at the generals of the Warsaw Pact around him and said, "It is impossible for Democratic Germany to expand its army. The reason is the same as the reason why Czechoslovakia cannot expand its army. The population is insufficient, and once the army is expanded, it will affect normal economic development."

"For a long time, most of the armed forces of the Warsaw Pact were on the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union was under considerable pressure. Under our current advantage, it is very necessary to adjust the garrison appropriately and discuss our proper distribution of troops and take into account both military and economic development. This is the original intention of this joint military conference." After Serov finished speaking, he waited for the generals of these countries to think about the Soviet Union's intention to disarmament appropriately, but it does not mean that the entire Warsaw Pact is like this.

"In other words, some countries need to disarmament, some countries need to expand their troops?" General Yaruseski asked, stunned, "In this way, we are just adjusting the main direction of the present and taking back the energy that had to divide the troops in the Balkans? Concentrating forces gives the West greater pressure."

"Comrade Yaruselsky is right, that's it." Defense Minister Marshal Grechko nodded. This was the purpose of this Warsaw Pact Joint Military Conference, to lay off some troops that were still equipped with old-fashioned equipment to complete the renewal of the military. In fact, when the Warsaw Pact simply faced the Western Front in Europe, its strength not only did not decrease, but also thought that the liberation of the Romanian and Bulgarian People's Army had greatly increased.

"At present, only Poland and Romania have the fastest population growth among the entire allies, so the Soviet Union hopes that the two countries will bear certain responsibilities. The Romanian People's Army will have a division stationed on the east coast of the Soviet Greece, and the same is true for Bulgaria and Greece. The southern clusters monitor Turkey and completely weaken this threat. Therefore, the Western Front requires Poland to bear greater responsibilities, and Poland also has enough population to complete this matter. Poland should expand its army of 30,000 to 50,000, which is two to three divisions to relieve the pressure of democratic Germany. At the same time, we will mobilize five tank divisions and motorized infantry divisions from the Caucasus to enrich the northern cluster stationed in Poland. It is expected that the northern cluster will have a scale of about 170,000 by then, maintain the balance after the expansion of the Federal German army."

Everyone nodded from the Soviet Union's suggestion. Democratic Germany still had to withstand the pressure of NATO. There were only two countries that expanded their troops, including Poland and Romania, and the Bulgarian People's Army. The scale of the Bulgarian People's Army remained unchanged. As a strategic reserve for the Warsaw Pact, the Greek Defense Forces defended their own country was the greatest help to the Soviet Union.

The remaining countries will disarmament from thousands to twenty thousand, and at the same time, some equipment from the 1950s will be retired and more reliable equipment after the Soviet Union's war inspection will be replaced. The equipment that was retired will be given to the Middle East countries.

What equipment is produced but not satisfied? Look at the Soviet European military regions and Warsaw Pact countries that do not equip, but use them by border guards and Middle Eastern countries. This kind of equipment is transitional equipment, such as T62 tanks, and the MiG 25 was also like this after the rebellion. The military was not satisfied with these equipment itself, but in order to use it before more reliable equipment was put into service, these weapons were put into service.

To a certain extent, t62 is only a deep improvement type of t54, and it has also been reversed compared with t54 in terms of ergonomic engineering. The division of labor and integration within the Warsaw Pact countries is much higher than that of NATO, and NATO only requires the ammunition and key communication equipment of member states to be universal. In addition to the Soviet Union, the other countries have limited strength in developing weapons and equipment, especially heavy weapons, which are basically imitated by the Soviet Union. The People's Army of Eastern European countries is to some extent just the second-line auxiliary troops of the Soviet army. For the second-line auxiliary troops, t54 is enough. Third, the Soviet army is actually not satisfied with t62. T62 can only be regarded as a transitional equipment in the Soviet army. At that time, the Soviet army had high hopes for t64 and t72, which was destined that the output of t62 cannot be compared with t54 and t72.

This time, in order to show sincerity, the Soviet Union brought out the T72, which shined in the war on the offensive to Turkey. It was mainly because the four major tank manufacturers of the Soviet Union were already operating with all their might, but because the Soviet Union had already had many allies, it still couldn't supply them. After this meeting, the T72 tanks would enter the armies of other Warsaw Pact countries in turn.

It is also for this reason that Ustinov began to investigate the location of the fifth tank base of the Soviet Union. The four tank bases of the Soviet Union, two in Russia, one in Ukraine and the other in Central Asia. In terms of the selection of the fifth tank base, Marshal Grechko, the Minister of Defense, believed that it was necessary to choose in the Siberian region.

"If you choose from Siberia, there will be some cost problems, but this is no longer high than the high planned cost of the t80 tank!" Marshal Grechko said calmly. The manufacturing cost of the t80 tank is 400,000 rubles, which is nearly three times higher than the t64 tank.

"In Siberia? It's very peaceful there, Yura said there is no threat." Ustinov thoughtfully.

"Only the general political commissar like him who is not a soldier will think that a country with 4.8 million troops is not threatened." Marshal Grechko hummed, "The deployment in the Far East is a bit too arrogant. What if the other party raids the Siberian Railway?"

"Four and eight million soldiers? Are they all deployed to the Sino-Soviet border? It's just one and five million soldiers." Selov calmly corrected it, and then his tone changed and continued, "The Siberian KGB Red Flag Border Force and the Red Army also have more than 600,000 people. Although the tanks are a little behind, at least there is no problem in packing up the T54 imitations? The number is twice that of the entire China. We have more armed helicopters, large-caliber artillery, air power and even nuclear weapons than the other side. I really don't know where the fear of the Ministry of Defense comes from?"

"But there are so many soldiers in their country, we should be on guard." Marshal Grechko said in another tone.

"You also know that there are many Chinese people, so we cannot compare the number. India can compare the number with China. The Indians are always ready to recover more than 200,000 square kilometers of land in the northeast." When talking about India, Selov's momentum was weak for no reason, but he quickly concealed it. Whether the Indian army has combat effectiveness, it seems unlikely to deceive Marshal Grechko.

"Then we are not ready for anything?" Marshal Grechko asked with a look of looking like you, a kid, isn't you a communist spy.

"Of course not. Preparation is necessary. From now on, you must be prepared. Just like my preparations in the Caucasus, preparing military supplies in Mongolia, Far East, and Kazakhstan, it takes five years to prepare for the reserves." Serov thought for a while, "The preparation time will be extended to five years, and no one will find it in each car. It can be concealed to the greatest extent. This offensive defense does not need to be completed by increasing troops."

"As for the new tank manufacturing base, the factory used to produce t80 tanks can be placed in the Communist Qingcheng of Amur. This preparation is enough." Selov must compromise appropriately, otherwise Marshal Grechko will really doubt whether he is a Communist spy.
