Chapter 832 General Political Commissar and Minister of Defense
All four clusters cannot be considered. The Soviet military regions, Belarus military regions, Ukraine, and Odessa military regions will be the participating units for this large exercise, and then some motorized infantry divisions will be drawn from other military regions as supplements. Ustinov has high hopes for this large exercise and personally conducts combat deployment.
On the other hand, Selov, who used Minsk as the general command, also scolded the participating troops. Compared with the front-line troops of the Soviet Red Army opposite, the conditions on his side were much more complicated. After all, the Warsaw Appeal 200,000 participating troops were still less combat-effective than the Soviet army's own army. This made the general political commissar who played the role of the negative this time scratch his head. This exercise only had one outline, and it was not clear that either the Red or the Blue side must win.
For this exercise, he also tried his best to recruit excellent staff teams from the KGB Border Defense Bureau and the General Staff of the Inner Guards. These two troops are also part of the Soviet armed forces. However, in some statistics, the KGB inner guards are not included in the total number of Soviet soldiers, but this does not mean that they cannot fight.
"Ustinov thought he would win, and I must tell him a fact that nothing is certain." Serov took off his gloves and threw them on the map on the table. "I will provide you with a rough strategy, and you can add opinions in it. Remember, this time we are playing NATO troops. From now on, we are NATO."
"Yes!" said the KGB's staff and the commanders of various Warsaw Pact countries in unison. Among them, the Greek commanders were the most natural. For a long time, Greece itself was within the NATO combat system. Since Greece joined the Warsaw Pact, it usually acted as an opponent in the exercises with the KGB's Blue Army. The Greeks had long been used to this exercise.
As time enters May, International Labor Day celebrates the May Day, preparations for the Western August 1st exercise officially begin. On the railways in the eastern Soviet Union, one train after another, the troops and equipment participating in the exercise are carried. T8O, T72 tanks under the canvas, as well as various infantry fighting vehicles, appear at train stations in many cities at extremely high frequency.
At the same time, in Eastern European countries, the Warsaw Pact troops participating in the exercise also began to move towards Belarus, preparing to fight against the Red side under Ustinov. Although it was an exercise, the solemnity was not worse than that in actual combat.
Marshal Serov, the general political commissar of the Soviet Union, had already spoken to Marshal Ustinov, Minister of Defense. Who might win this exercise? Marshal Ustinov had to show all his abilities, otherwise the Red Party, which represented the Soviet Union, would lose, and he would not care about his own affairs.
"Chairman, are you sure you can win?" Little Valia secretly asked this question in private.
"Of course I have no confidence at all!" Sherov made a high-profile first, deliberately paused in the middle, and finally told the truth. His ground power was only two-thirds of the opponent's side, and his army belonged to different countries. Ustinov's troops only had a common name, the Soviet army. I was afraid that due to cooperation issues, they would not be able to stop the opponent's attack when face to face.
However, there is no advantage. Selov knew Ustinov's combat method. In fact, the Soviet Union had only one combat method, that is, large-depth assault, and any combat method was a variant of large-depth assault. But Ustinov didn't know what his response method was. If this was an advantage, the Blue Army might have only such an advantage. As for the air force that was equipped with it, that was a nonsense advantage.
He sighed. Although he was not sure at all, he could not show it. Instead, he pulled Little Valia into his arms, chewed her beautiful red lips, skillfully stripping off the woman's military uniform. He picked up the little girl in her arms and walked staggeringly towards the bathroom. Only the girl's laughter was left in the room...
Perhaps from the perspective of understanding the Chairman, the girl took the initiative and was much more active, sitting on it as undulating as a small boat on the ocean.
Large-scale troops mobilization can not be hidden from anyone at all. NATO secretly ordered troops from various countries to enter a state of combat readiness to prevent the Soviet Union from using this exercise to mobilize troops, but in fact, it is for the purpose of launching a sudden attack on NATO countries. This possibility is not without. You must know that the Western clusters living in Germany can remain motionless, and the northern clusters stationed in Poland are the same. These two clusters together have a total of 700,000 troops. Once a sudden attack is launched, plus the Warsaw Pact troops participating in the exercise, the Soviet Union can invest 2 million troops to attack at one time.
What if the Soviet Union goes crazy? Is it too late to keep NATO alert? Then something really happens. If the General Political Commissar, who is addicted to the female secretary, knows that NATO is like this, he may be more active in preparing. Instead of focusing on conquering Mao Mei. But the General Political Commissar is a strong-willed person after all, and always likes young and beautiful people...
This solemn and tense atmosphere lasted for more than a month. The red side of the 500,000 army and the blue side of the 350,000 army were ready. On the plain between Belarus and Ukraine, nearly one million troops were ready to go. With just a command, they could participate in this exercise that was close to actual combat to the greatest extent. The invited military observers from various countries also chose to join one side for observation. This was a good opportunity to observe the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Union.
There are also many military observers who choose Minsk's Blue Command. They also want to know whether Selov, who plays the role of NATO, is a joke. It can be said without hesitation that most people come to watch the fun. How could a spy fight? These people forgot that the Soviet attack on Turkey was planned by Selov.
The most dangerous era of NATO countries in the history of the Cold War. Due to the political reality of Federal Germany, NATO was forced to change its defense strategy from tripline defense to frontier defense, which means that the NATO 6th Army had to set up defense on the Federal Germany border and incorporate the Federal German territory, which was originally a preset battlefield, into the defense scope. This is effective politically, but militarily exposes the most elite part of the NATO 6th Army directly under the attack of the Warsaw Pact army.
Observers of NATO and neutral countries also want to know how the Blue Army fought under this strategic disadvantage. On June 16, Marshal Ustinov began to mobilize pre-warly on the offensive position pre-set by the Red Army. In front of the Minister of Defense, there were thousands of tank formations, densely arranged together and could not see the border at a glance. In addition to the Soviet Union itself, no second country in the world can concentrate such a large-scale ground force, but this is only one-eighth of the Soviet Union's ground force, and it is not considered as the entire army being dispatched.
All the NATO military observers who watched the performance took a breath when they saw this scene of intensive phobia. There were too many, so many, and once such a large army entered the startup state, it was simply invincible.
In a small town fifty kilometers south of Minsk, Selov was also carrying out pre-war mobilization. Of course, the scene he faced was similar. He was also a tank and armored vehicle array that could not see the boundaries at first sight. However, this could indeed shock the NATO military observers who came to observe.
"Comrades from all countries, comrades from the KGB, and my children! In another twenty-four hours, this exercise that is close to actual combat will begin. Our role is the imaginary enemy force of the Blue Side." Selov began a simple opening remark, "My children, you will be the front line troops, and I will be with you."
"Yes, father!" A large array of American military uniforms gave an answer in unison. This power of silence was eye-catching. This was the American Alliance Army formed by the KGB. This response made the American observers who came to watch the performance look embarrassed. The United States has investigated that many children of American soldiers in the world have indeed been taken away by the Soviet Union and are now in front of him.
No one made fun of Americans on this occasion, and everyone was shocked by the scenery in front of them and could not speak.
"I promised you to help you get rid of the life of being discriminated against and become a useful person for society. Years have passed, and I am very pleased that you have grown up. You are part of the Soviet Union. No matter in any role, you are all helping the Soviet Union, the party, the country, and the people, know this." Selov shouted loudly, "I ask you to repay me, but you should repay this country. Now start with this exercise, defeat Ustinov's Red Army, and exert your greatest combat effectiveness, which is the best reward to the country."
"Walk with justice, sniff out and eliminate the traitors!" This time, the unanimous response was to shout in English that the observers here in the United States changed their faces. They could only smile and explain to the people next to them, "Difficult mobilization, meaningless previews, war is not acting, what's the use of such small moves?"
"The great Soviet Red Army is invincible, burying the enemies of the motherland in the fire and steel!" Hundreds of kilometers away, Marshal Ustinov raised his right hand high and solemnly saluted all the officers and soldiers participating in the performance.
"Ula, Ula, Ula!" The 500,000 Soviet Red Army shouted in unison from the assembly sites in various places and responded to the Minister of Defense. In the eyes of observers from various countries, these officers and soldiers had already integrated with tanks and infantry fighting vehicles calculated in ten thousand.
At 8 a.m. on June 17, General Secretary Brezhnev of Moscow ordered the exercise to officially start. At the same time, Selov ordered, "Open the full channel interference, switch to high and low frequency in eight hours, and grab the right to information first." (To be continued.)
