Chapter 166: The Disintegration of the Soviet Union

With the sinking of the Yuri strategic nuclear submarine, the Tang Empire realized the huge military threat brought by the Soviet Navy nuclear submarine.

Zhang Meng held a meeting in front of the imperial court, and only senior officials from the three armies of the Tang Empire attended the meeting, setting it as the highest secret.

At the meeting, Zhang Meng asked to use 24-hour and all-terrain to monitor all submarines of the Soviet Navy, focusing on monitoring the movements of nuclear submarines, and to ensure that one or two Tang army nuclear submarines are tracked and located near each Soviet nuclear submarine.

This order also applies to the US Navy. While the Tang army comprehensively monitors the movements of the Soviet Navy's nuclear submarines, it also monitors all nuclear submarines in the United States.

In addition, the underwater sonar array has proven to be a very useful and necessary underwater monitoring system after this military operation to encircle the Yuri.

Zhang Meng attached great importance to it and allocated secret funds to support it, requiring all-terrain coverage deployment in the offshore areas of the United States and the Soviet Union.

The Tang Army's underwater sonar array system can be divided into two parts, one is the vertical sonar array system of the deep-sea channel, and the other is the upward sonar array system of the shallow sea coast. The former is deployed at a depth of 1,000 meters in a deep-sea channel, in a suspended state, and in a vertical cracked net posture. Each group is equivalent to the drag sonar array system function carried by the Tang Army's anti-submarine cruiser.

The latter is a semi-buried sonar array system on the shallow sea coast continental shelf. It is deployed in a natural extension area of ​​the continental shelf. It has a stone structure on the outside to prevent being discovered by hostile countries. It uses passive sonar detection devices and does not detect small power consumption by hostile countries.

Whether it is a deep-sea vertical sonar array or a shallow-sea sonar array, their functions are similar to the drag-and-drop sonar array system, which replaces the water sonar buoy sensors thrown by anti-submarine aircraft, and are even more undetected and destroyed by enemy countries.

In fact, the United States and the Soviet Union have already begun to study this underwater sonar monitoring device. However, the technology of the two countries is not enough to solve a key problem, that is, the huge impact of the sea-crossing layer on the propagation of water sound. The underwater sonar monitoring device studied by the United States and the Soviet Union cannot avoid this noise interference, so it has never realized the desire for deployment. The Tang Empire broke through this technical threshold, allowing the Tang army's underwater sonar array system to be deployed.

The Tang army then launched a combat plan code-named "Jellyfish". It dispatched a large number of warships and submarines, and secretly deployed an underwater sonar monitoring array system along the coasts of the United States and the Soviet Union by carrying out military exercises around the United States and the Soviet Union. The system regularly sent intelligence to the closest Tang army military base, and comprehensively collected the sea conditions in the waters around the United States and the Soviet Union. It was well aware of the situation of submarines entering and leaving the ports of the United States and the Soviet Union.

When necessary, the Tang army can directly extract the monitoring information of the sonar array, grasp the trends of US and Soviet submarines as soon as possible, and thus make various response strategies.

Just when the Tang army deployed a "jellyfish" monitoring system to the coastal areas of the United States and the Soviet Union on a large scale, the Soviet Navy was already in chaos and had lost contact with the Yuri strategic nuclear submarine for a long time, which made the Soviet Union very nervous and uneasy. They didn't know whether the Yuri nuclear submarine sank or was sunk by the Tang army. What they were most worried about was being captured by the Tang army. In that case, the Soviet Union's last strategic killer weapon would lose its effect and could no longer balance the Tang Empire.

Gorbachev was proud of his previous pride that the Yuri floated up in the waters near the Tang Empire. It undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Soviet Union, but within a few days, the Yuri lost contact and completely disappeared. This was undoubtedly a slap in Gorbachev and the Soviets in the face. For the sake of face, Gorbachev had to announce a tight blockade.

However, the families of the Yuri nuclear submarine could not tolerate it and soon exposed it to the media that Yuri had not returned to the Soviet Union so far. This incident caused a sensation, which made the franchise republics who had originally had some hope for the Soviet Union suddenly understand that Yuri must have been eliminated because of the impact of the Tang Empire. The civilians do not understand such a thing, but the politicians from various countries have a clear mind.

Although Gorbachev tried hard to explain the reasons, the entire Soviet Union was already in panic.

To make matters worse, a rare June snow broke out in the Soviet Union. Blizzards suddenly fell in most parts of the Soviet Union, causing all crops in the farmland to be frozen to death, hundreds of thousands of people were suddenly frozen by the cold and frostbite, and millions of livestock were buried and died by the blizzard, causing a devastating blow to the Soviet Union's agriculture and animal husbandry.

The vitality, which had just recovered from the Great Famine, was once again in a desperate situation, and the Soviets were trapped in an unprecedented Great Famine.

The hungry Soviets gradually rioted, smashing and looting everywhere, causing turmoil in the Soviet society. Gorbachev sent troops to brutally suppress it, and finally gave the Tang Empire a justification. The Tang Empire began to impose comprehensive sanctions on the Soviet Union under the banner of human rights, which aggravated the turmoil and uneasiness of the Soviet Union.

In order to obtain foreign food, the Soviet Union was forced to surrender to the Tang Empire. Gorbachev was forced to accept the strategic offensive nuclear weapons clause proposed by the Tang Empire to reduce nuclear weapons to reduce nuclear weapons as the Tang Empire provided humanitarian food aid to the Soviet Union.

The Tang Empire would use the number and value of nuclear weapons cut by the Soviet Union to calculate it into food, and then export it to the Soviet Union to resolve the imminent famine crisis of the Soviet Union.

At the same time, the Tang Empire also sent a note to the United States, demanding that the United States also join the nuclear disarmament treaty. Because the Soviet Union agreed, the Tang and Soviet countries suppressed the United States two to one, forcing the United States to join the nuclear disarmament treaty very reluctantly.

As a result, the Tang, the United States and the Soviet Union began to fully disarmament, and the three parties cut 5,000 nuclear weapons every year and completed the nuclear weapons disarmament plan within five years.

In fact, the Soviet Union no longer wanted to compete with the Tang Empire for hegemony, so it would carry out nuclear disarmament happily, save military expenses to restore people's livelihood, otherwise the country would be destroyed. The United States thought it was clever, and they only cut down those nuclear weapons that did not threaten the Tang Empire at all, secretly developed faster and stronger, and could change the track in the air, making the Tang Empire difficult to defend, so that the United States could use the smallest nuclear weapons to deter the Tang Empire and maintain the current situation.

In this regard, the Tang Empire was clear about it, but it did not point it out, allowing the Americans to carry out nuclear disarmament obediently and have their own way to deal with them in the future.

Gorbachev surrendered to the Tang Empire, so he was forced to agree not to interfere with the Soviet Union's willingness to seek independence by force, and to re-enter the referendum on whether the Soviet Union would collapse.

On New Year's Day in 1982, the Soviet republics held a referendum on whether to maintain the Soviet Union. All of them agreed to disband the Soviet Union. The countries gradually restored independence and then applied to join the world government one after another.

The Soviet Union collapsed instantly, and Gorbachev stepped down.
