Chapter 882 Star Wars Project

This is just a casual statement, putting hope on Shelbitsky, he has been in vain for so many years. I believe that marriage can solve all problems? It won’t work in China, let alone in the Soviet Union. What he can believe is the agent of the Ninth General Administration of the KGB, and the KGB who is responsible for protecting major Soviet leaders is the power he can believe.

He is the KGB and can only believe in the KGB. Any other consideration, to put it bluntly, is just nonsense.

"Your skill in tempting people is a little worse than Brezhnev. I still need to tell you? You, the KGB chairman, have been doing it for so many years?" Shelbitsky sneered, "Will the Ninth General Administration tell you directly then?"

"It's boring to speak like this. We are senior cadres. Why do we speak like those thieves?" Xie Luofu's face changed and he instructed him in a straightforward manner, "That's just a backup method. Can't you do it openly?"

When the Ninth General Administration does such a thing, it still needs to be a detour. How can this big tyrant entrenched in Ukraine take action?

Always lying in the hospital, even a good person will become weaker and weaker. Taking advantage of Andropov's ability to move, the Black Sea shore with a better climate is also a good choice.

So when Chernenko made this suggestion, no one objected. As for Andropov himself, it was the same whether he opposed it or not. On the one hand, this was indeed for his own good. On the other hand, with his current physical condition, he could not do anything to Chernenko. Just like Brezhnev's later years, time had defeated them.

In this way, Andropov was escorted to the Black Sea to recuperate. Of course, this does not mean that Andropov was isolated from the rights center. A complete set of institutions assigned to the General Secretary were still in operation. Andropov was still the General Secretary of the Soviet Union. There were also Ustinov, Gromiko, Selov, and Chernenko to visit him regularly.

Each department performs its own duties, and the leaders of major departments have learned it as early as the late Brezhnev era.

At the moment the train set off, all the members of the Central Presidium seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Grishen, the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, stayed in place for a moment and left expressionlessly. Central Secretary Romanov stood still, waiting for the reaction of others, until Chernenko took action and everyone left the train station one after another.

Everyone knew Andropov's physical condition very well. This was no longer something the General Secretary could hide. More than two months of hospitalization could allow these Soviet figures to figure out everything. In this situation, Andropov would not be able to die, and there was no hope of perseverance.

Everyone was hiding, waiting for the next battle, and Chernenko almost immediately felt that his biggest threat was the only remaining big boss of the Communist Youth League, KGB Chairman Selov. In terms of qualifications, Selov was a member of the Central Presidium during the Khrushchev era, even earlier than Andropov.

"The movement is very fast!" Selov immediately felt that Chernenko was not very friendly. There was nothing he could do. At this point, his figure had reached a point where no one could ignore it. People with more prestige and qualifications than him no longer exist. It would be strange if Chernenko did not pay attention to him.

So at this time, Selov cannot leave Moscow, otherwise, there will be no conspiracy against him. History tells him not to think that the incident of Beria will not happen again.

However, Selov believed that no one in Moscow could kill himself without knowing it. The Kremlin garrison, Derrensky's special combat division, and Taman's division could not be mobilized without their knowledge. As for the police force in the entire Moscow, it is itself an integral part of the KGB.

"The General Secretary is recuperating, but the anti-slack work and anti-privileged movements must continue, so from today on, I will live in Ruby Yangka and continue to carry out the movement in depth." Selov said to all members of the KGB presidium, "Each department will perform its duties, don't do anything, I will stare at you closely."

Although before Andropov's death, no one would use fierce means to attack another member of the Central Presidium. But if someone had a cramp in his mind, Selov would not dare to try it with his own life. There are always unruly people who want to harm me. This idea must not be given up. The General Political Commissar still feels that he is the safest in the rupee card.

After all, this place has been where he has been in business for decades. Now even Zweigong dares to make small moves under his nose. Of course, this is not enough. Some win-win situations still need to be done, but he won't do it by himself.

"Our family is a spy!" Selov was not slandering himself. This is a basic fact, it was like this.

When the Soviet Union was on the verge of another succession, he wanted to sleep and looked at the Soviet Union with one eye open. He also keenly discovered that the Soviet Union seemed to be unable to accurately reflect the US offense after Brezhnev passed away. Even a month ago, the Soviet Union did not have any substantial counterattack.

This is a good opportunity. Although Grenada's environment was worse after the US military operation, a large number of weapons from unknown sources flooded the small country and began to spread around. If we look into it, it seems that the environment in Central America seemed to be worse because of this invasion of the US military. But Reagan did not care about this small threat. He saw that the Soviet Union did not make a decent counterattack, and the attack on the United States was limited to public opinion, in other words, mouth guns.

This discovery is reason to excite Reagan. The aggressive situation in the Soviet Union seems to be receding. Or more optimistic speculation, there was a problem within the Soviet Union and could no longer support the current expansion policy. No matter which view is right, it is a great thing for the United States. Unfortunately, a large number of people in the American public now believe that the Soviet Union is extremely powerful and do not recognize Reagan's judgment. Sometimes Reagan will think, "Why can't Americans be smarter?"

No matter what those people think, Reagan, who has gained a foothold, feels it's time to implement his long-prepared plan.

In fact, he had already explained this plan a few months ago. Reagan delivered a speech entitled "Peace and National Security" to the country, formally proposing for the first time that the United States will conduct a study on strategic defense of ballistic missiles. In his thirty-minute speech, Reagan pointed out that the existing deterrent strategy that relies on the "threat of revenge" has shortcomings.

He said that advances in science and technology in recent years have made it possible to establish truly effective missile defenses that would be more secure for the United States and its allies if they can be intercepted and destroyed before the ballistic missiles arrive. Reagan declared that he has taken an important step toward this goal, "I am directing a comprehensive and in-depth effort to develop a long-term research and development plan to begin to move towards our ultimate goal of eliminating the threat of strategic nuclear missiles."

While Andropov had just come to power and didn't have time to pay attention to the outside world, Reagan had already won support step by step. Now, it is the time for this plan to be officially launched. Whether it is persuading Congress or contacting the allies of the United States, Reagan had already completed it while the Soviet General Secretary changed his time. Now there is only one last step left to sign the order to officially implement it.

On January 1, 1984, Reagan formally issued the signing of National Security Directive No. 119, formally approved the Strategic Defense Initiative. He had a more accepted name, the Star Wars Project.

The core content is: intercontinental strategic missiles and outer space spacecraft in various means to attack the enemy's outer space to prevent hostile countries from launching nuclear strikes on the United States and its allies. Its technical means include the deployment of high-energy directional weapons or conventional strike weapons in outer space and ground, and conducting multi-level interception at various stages of the enemy's strategic missile attack. Many of the United States' allies, including the United Kingdom, West Germany, Israel, Japan, etc., have also participated in this plan to varying degrees at the request of the United States.

Reagan expressed his desire to reshape the national security of the United States in his speech in a fighter manner, which aroused the cheers of the people who came spontaneously. In the office of the Chairman of the Ruby Yangka KGB headquarters, it seemed like Serov pressed the cigarette butts in his hand in a room in a fairyland on earth. Compared with Reagan's spirit on TV, he seemed even more silent, staring at the US president on TV with his eyes curled up, and the smile slowly floated on the corner of his mouth. The smile became bigger and bigger...

This is a smile from the bottom of my heart, such a cute enemy, such a cute Republican Party. This is what the enemy should look like. Compared to the small actions of the Democratic Party, the presidents who came out of the Republican Party look very much like mankind.

"What's so happy?" Little Valia pushed the door and smiled, then saw Reagan on TV. She didn't know about Serov before, and she thought the General Political Commissar was very concerned about every US president.

"When I saw a very tough enemy, I believe he would not beg for mercy when I cut off his head like this." Selov was in a good mood. There is a basic premise for the reason why the Star Wars plan was proposed, that is, nuclear balance is ineffective. The United States now has 23,000 nuclear warheads, while the Soviet Union does not have many, 37,000.
