"The total record of Chinese soldiers is about 3.8 million, slightly surpassing our country in terms of number, and is ranked first in the world. After three years of disarmament, we have reduced a lot of pressure. This is of course related to the gradual recovery of relations between our two countries."

Marshal Akhromeyev, Minister of Defense, introduced in detail the situation of the Soviet Union's neighboring countries. In addition to Comrade Minister of Defense, Marshal Sokolov, Chief of Staff, Marshal Kulikov, Commander-in-Chief of the Warsaw Armed Forces. It is not difficult at all to find a few marshals who dare to fight as military commanders from the Soviet Union.

"Reagan's move is not surprising at all. It is easy to see the zero-sum game. United China to cause trouble for us and solve the biggest threat." Serov said calmly to several military leaders, "A normal move, if I do this, in the face of the Soviet Union's strength, Reagan had to deal with it with all his strength and reach a certain compromise."

What does Reagan feel about socialism? Is it worth mentioning? But the United States faced Sino-Soviet confrontation at the same time, even the United States, which is now full of blood, could not do it. The United States had much more advantages in the 1950s than now. After stabilizing China first, concentrate its efforts to attack the Soviet Union, and after solving its main enemy, the Soviet Union, it would naturally be easy to slap China, which had not yet taken off. It would be a beautiful completion of the United States' counterattack.

It's so beautiful! It's enough to be unlucky for the Soviet Union to issue a map of the Go. For Reagan, this is a matter of a pie falling from the sky. He also hopes that both countries will have brainless leaders? It's better to pray that God appears to prove his existence and disintegrate the Soviet Union's atheistic thoughts.

Reagan, who had completed his re-election, immediately forgot his pre-election proposal and directly kicked him out. He visited China continuously. For the Soviet Union, the most direct consideration was whether nearly four million soldiers would turn around and become enemies with the Soviet Union as the marshals of the Ministry of National Defense were worried about.

"General Secretary, are we appropriately strengthening some eastern border guards?" Marshal Akhromeyev, Minister of Defense, proposed seriously. After the death of Marshal Ustinov's confidence, who was alien in his eyes, the new Minister of Defense, Marshal Akhromeyev, became a very realistic commander again. The Soviet military's very entangled thoughts came back. This idea, Selov understood that there were always troublemakers who wanted to harm me...

No matter how you understand, the General Secretary would not agree with the other party's opinions and directly refused, "There are so many countries bordering the Soviet Union. Do we need to pursue an absolute military advantage over any neighboring country? You must know that our borders are the longest in the world! Moreover, the military advantage itself is in our hands, and strengthening it is only a consolidation of this advantage, and there is no need to."

"But necessary precautions must be done." Chief of the General Staff Marshal Sokolov stood on the side of Defense Minister Akhromeyev. Before the 1970s, China's outbreak could scare the whole world, including the Soviet Union. Who would not have a headache when encountering such a neighbor? The other party's manpower is still so abundant?

Unfortunately, the General Secretary was obviously not energetic, and his posture became more and more like Hawking. This posture was that he did not listen to the opinions of several marshals. Even the second secretary present, Ligachev, had an embarrassment. He was thinking about whether to remind the General Secretary and pay attention to the occasion.

When Ligachev's embarrassment became more and more serious, the General Secretary woke up. On the one hand, because several marshals had expressed their thoughts, the General Secretary, who suddenly appeared in his eyes, reminded everyone that you had just had an illusion.

With his hand in hand, Little Valia directly brought a Russian document, which was translated by the KGB. Shelov, who was holding the document, said, "This is a public document issued by the Military Commission of our neighboring country. You can take a look. It's just three days ago."

Marshal Akhromeyev, Marshal Sokolov, and Marshal Kulikov nodded and took the reading. Their faces were very serious. Obviously, the content above made these marshals very interested.

"Now, you should be relieved, right?" Shelov smiled at the document in his hand, "Do you think? How much combat power does a commercial army have? Is it an opponent of our Soviet armed forces?"

Marshal Akhromeyev, Marshal Sokolov and Marshal Kulikov looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

"That's right. Whether it is fighter jets, tanks, or grassroots firepower, we are far more than China. The only shortcoming is that the number of people on the other side is a little more than ours, but this is not irreparable. Our military can offset the number of people on the other side. The only thing worth worrying about is the spiritual level." Shelov looked at several marshals and said coldly, "Now the other side has disarmed the spiritual forces, and the situation has changed from being an advantage to our overall advantage."

"Do you still need to increase the armed forces on the eastern border?" Selov asked several military bosses easily.

"From the current situation, it should be no longer necessary." Marshal Akhromeyev considered for a moment and stopped talking about expanding the army.

"Then, now I will make some adjustments to the border armed forces. The KGB border defense forces will take over the ports in various places, crack down on cross-border smuggling, the military's armed forces withdraw from the management of daily borders, and the Soviet armed forces will break away from contact with China." Not only did Serov not agree to the opinions of several bigwigs of the Ministry of Defense, he also allowed the Soviet armed forces led by the Ministry of Defense to break away from the daily maintenance of the border. In the future, all the Soviet eastern borders will be handed over to the border defense forces.

Several marshals nodded in agreement, saluted Selov and Ligachev, and left the Kremlin and returned to the Ministry of Defense.

"Our leadership in the field of thinking is being consolidated like never before." Selov said to Ligachev.

"That's right, General Secretary." Ligachev understood and brought Yugoslavia and Albania back on track again. It was just a superficial phenomenon, but it was inherently that the Soviet Union had no country to challenge it in the field of thought. The Soviet Union was socialism, and there was no country to question now.

Selov can easily discover from history that theories that can cause shock to the Soviet Union are all more revolutionary theories. The Trotskyists during the Stalin period were like this from China to Albania after the war.

"For many years, we have been constantly attacked by two sides. One is the reformists of the European Communist Party, and the other is the group of people who think we are not revolutionary enough. In terms of harm, the reformists are not our opponents at all, because no matter how the European Communist Party improves, they will only turn them into socialists. The latter has a huge threat. Now..." Selov suddenly made a pause, but his voice immediately became firmer, "This threat has disappeared!"

At least within sight, there will be no existing socialist country that can challenge the Soviet Union in terms of ideological and theoretical terms.

"But can we get back on track in the future?" Ligachev didn't want to see countries in the same camp like this.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Although the Soviet Union was angry at China and it was often against itself, it was not without the idea of ​​restoring relations in the 1950s. Khrushchev and Brezhnev had tried it. But the progress made over history is that there is no direct exchange of fire. The Cold War and restrained friendship...

"They may need an elder to restore the value of the country, be cautious and practical, just like Brezhnev, but our General Secretary's cadre's lifelong cadre system is best not to appear in other countries." Selov stood up and sorted out his clothes, "I want to take a few days off, and Reagan will come back after his visit. You lead the Secretariat to deal with some issues."

Ligachev nodded. Even if the General Secretary is not in the Kremlin, there will be no challengers. Anyone who questions authority will lack the courage to implement all the conspiracies and tricks in the face of such a situation.

In terms of personality, Selov prefers Khrushchev, which does not conform to the image of a leader as defined by the Soviets.

Reagan's trip to China was much easier on the surface. The Great Wall and Terracotta Warriors left his footprints. Under this relaxed itinerary, the matter was also uneven. Negotiations between the two sides were underway at all times. In addition, the US government successively announced that it would allow the export of technologies that can be applied to military to China, cancel the regulations prohibiting the export of weapons of destruction to China, and include China as a friendly African Union in the transfer of technology. In terms of science and technology, the two sides signed a agreement on cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy, a agreement on cooperation and exchanges in science and technology and education. In terms of economy and trade, the two countries signed a textile trade agreement, a shipping agreement and a memorandum on satellite launch.

Reagan is indeed affordable than Schellov, and Schellov dared not risk the risk of hollowing out the Soviet Union to agree to so many conditions.

"Don't worry about these things, there is nothing scary. Do whatever you want, and don't put pressure on China." Selov put down his phone and walked to the automatic gas station. After refueling manually, he went inside to find the only staff member to pay.

"Is it still allowed to rest?" Little Valia wore sunglasses and muttered dissatisfied when the General Secretary finished paying the money. Both of them pretended to be spies and were not recognized by others.

"The next stop is Yaroslavl Oblast? Stop talking nonsense, this matter is indeed important, and the Secretariat report is also worthy!" Selov calmed the restless girl. The General Secretary and the other two drove out and wandered around.
Chapter completed!
