Chapter 1352: The Great Turmoil of the Situation
The spokesman said jokingly: "He said that he saw a naval cap with the Indian nuclear submarine 'Black Shark' written on it, so he concluded that it was an Indian nuclear submarine wreck, and we have to believe him, so if he said that he found a military cap on the USS Virginia nuclear submarine, does it mean that the US strategic nuclear submarine was sunk there?" That's funny, isn't it? Don't you think it's easy to fake both the scene and the real thing? β
A journalist asked incredulously: "If the explosion of the nuclear submarine does not exist, then the article is indeed a fake." However, what I want to ask is, why did he write this article? What is the purpose of his article? β
The spokesman said: "You can tell who wrote it by comparing the style and tone of this article. I regret that they wrote this article for nothing more than to attract the attention of the public, perhaps with the intention of suppressing the morale of our Indian Navy, or perhaps they have the support of the state or organization behind him, and the purpose is to provoke public dissatisfaction with our military, for which I regret it. β¦β¦β
Turning off the TV, Guo Zhuocheng smiled.
At this time, the phone rang, Guo Shucheng picked up the phone on the table, and heard Vice Premier Yu Gangqiu's words: "Boy, are you giggling now?" β
Guo Shucheng smiled: "Aren't you? ......, it's nice that Indians are so knowledgeable. These treasures are going to be decided, and if they deny this kind of thing, then we will deny this kind of thing even more. Hehe, they India does not have nuclear submarines at all, what is unsinkable. β
With the end of India's press conference, the explosion and sinking of India's nuclear submarine in the South China Sea has subsided on the surface, but whether it is China, India or the United States, which started the incident, they all know that this matter cannot end so simply, and perhaps a big storm is still brewing.
In the eyes of the United States, India is knocking out its teeth and swallowing it in its stomach, knowing that it has suffered huge losses, but in order to appease the people at home. For the sake of their own image in the international arena, one can only deny the sinking of one's own nuclear submarine, and one can only pretend that there is no loss of submarine specialists and no loss of the naval elite.
And China can't find the perpetrators, although they know that they are behind the blame, but they are helpless, as long as India does not trouble them, they will forget it, and it is really the best thing for India to deny it.
The only one who has earned the benefit is the United States, which not only sank India's nuclear submarines. It hit Britain and France, and at the same time blamed China, further deepening the contradictions between China and India, and the hatred accumulated more and more, and it was absolutely amazing to erupt when the time came.
They didn't think that what China wanted most was the current state of affairs. What I hope most is to make a fortune quietly, and what I hope most is to quietly develop my country's submarine technology and quietly master the secrets of submarines in Europe and the United States, especially nuclear submarines.
In fact, the United States was also suspicious of China.
The United States also once doubted whether the Chinese side had found the wreckage of India's nuclear submarine, because they found that China had dispatched not only fighter jets, anti-submarine aircraft, and ships, but also maritime rescue vessels, which was not at all as simple as just looking for the explosion site and investigating the cause of the explosion.
However, they have no way or reason to enter the waters blocked by China. Unable to understand the specifics and thus have a true grasp of how things are going, they can only rely on satellite images from space to conduct research.
Through the study of satellite images, they believe that China did not find the wreckage of the submarine explosion. There was an explosion in the ocean, even if it was monitored. Even countries with such advanced technology in the United States cannot judge the precise sea area, and can only roughly judge according to the direction from which the sound comes, and the farther the distance, the greater the error.
Moreover, the seabed situation in the South China Sea is complex, and the depth of the seabed varies. There are many strange rocks, and the South China Sea is located in the tropics, and the wind and waves are high. From time to time, typhoons and hurricanes have added a lot of difficulties to the salvage of objects on the bottom of the sea, not to mention a huge nuclear submarine, even a small boat of thousands of tons cannot be completed in a short time.
However, China only stayed in that area for more than three days, and in this short period of three days, not to mention salvage, it was impossible to accurately locate it, and it would take several days to search for such a large sea area and go back and forth. If you really want to salvage a huge nuclear submarine and tow it away, it will have to take three or four months, half a year, or even a year, and you have to use high technology that maybe China does not have.
They had no idea that at the time of the incident, there was a Chinese submarine hiding nearby, and the ships that came to salvage did not need to search for it at all, and could just drive directly to the place where the nuclear submarine sank. And salvage is far simpler than the United States thinks, because after the nuclear submarine exploded, it was almost up to the sky with its tail pointing up, and it was only less than 20 meters or 30 meters above the sea surface. This depth is not enough for a professional diver to dive with his bare hands, which means that even if the diver does not carry an oxygen tank and does not need a decompression helmet, he can touch the tail of this nuclear submarine. With the help of a machine and a diving tool, the steel rope can be easily tied to the propeller behind the butt of the nuclear submarine, so as to lift it up, while at the same time lightly tying large pontoons on both sides of it to reduce gravity, thus speeding up the salvage progress.
And for the sake of secrecy, the Chinese side did not cut and rescue people at the scene, but used a large tugboat to sneak and tow the nuclear submarine away, and the satellites in space could not see the wreckage of the nuclear submarine under the surface of the sea at all.
When China, India, and the United States were sad, happy, and happy about the nuclear submarine, the contest between the Soviet Union and European and American countries on the battlefield of Czechoslovakia was still in a state of stalemate, and the Soviet army could not break the defense line jointly established by the Czechoslovak and European and American armies, and the European and American coalition forces could not repel the Soviet army, and both sides were smashing artillery shells hard, filling soldiers, tanks, and planes......
The daily war losses of both sides of the war are at least tens of millions of dollars, and you must know that the loss of a fighter plane is millions of dollars, a tank is hundreds of thousands of dollars, and a missile is tens of thousands of dollars cheaper and more expensive......
War is fought on logistics, and on financial resources.
On the surface, the two sides of the war were tied, but if we only look at the war situation on the territory of Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union even had the upper hand, because they came from the territory of the Soviet Union, invaded Czechoslovakia proper, occupied many strategic points, eliminated many European and American troops, and made it impossible for European and American troops to advance an inch.
However, this victory was only tactical, and strategically speaking, the Soviet Union suffered a major defeat, and Czechoslovakia, especially the European and American countries, achieved a heavy victory. The first is that the complete independence of Czechoslovakia is a foregone conclusion, at least the territory of the Soviet army without a war territory has been freed from Soviet control, and the influence of the Soviet Union can no longer affect there. The European and American armies have penetrated deeply into the traditional sphere of influence of the Soviet Union and have gained a foothold.
The second is that the war in Czechoslovakia attracted the Soviet army and military forces, and greatly weakened the Soviet army's control over other places, and now East Germany, Poland, Romania, Yugoslavia and other younger brothers of the Soviet Union have fallen apart and are in harmony, no, they are not even "looking good", they are all rushing in the direction of secession from the Soviet Union, and the Warsaw Pact organization has completely stopped.
The last and most important point is that if it continues to drag on like this, the Soviet Union will definitely be defeated. Now the two sides are playing in Czechoslovakia to throw bombs, like a beggar and a dragon king. The Soviet Union now lacks everything, it is a beggar with a big belly, dizzy with hunger, how can it have the ability to throw money here, that is not throwing money, in fact, it is cutting flesh from the body and throwing it away, even if the body is big, it cannot withstand such a cut. And the European and American countries are much richer than the Soviet Union, and they don't care at all about throwing bombs in Czechoslovakia, no matter how much money they throw, they can grit their teeth and persevere. In throwing it like this, it was definitely the Soviet Union that fell first, and I don't know what the Soviet Union became in the end, whether it was a war-torn battlefield or a delicacy in Europe and the United States?
European and American countries even hoped to fight with the Soviet Union in Czechoslovakia for five or ten years.
European and American countries like to do this, and the Soviet leaders are not stupid, so naturally they do not want to do this, and as the pace of the Soviet army is stopped, as it becomes more and more difficult for the Soviet army to achieve the expected results, these leaders began to calm down and began to think about whether to withdraw the Soviet army.
In the early morning of 9 April 1990, Soviet Vice President Yanayev issued an order announcing that Mikhail Gorbachev, the head of state, was no longer able to perform his presidential duties due to health reasons, and that he would assume the presidency with immediate effect, and at the same time announced the establishment of a state emergency committee to exercise all state powers. The committee consisted of eight people, including Yanayev, Prime Minister Pavlov, First Deputy Chairman of the National Defense Council Bakranov, Defense Minister Yazov, Internal Affairs Minister Pugo, and Chairman of the National Security Council Kryuchkov.
Soon after, Vice President Yanayev, Prime Minister Pavlov, and First Deputy Chairman of the National Defense Council Baklanov jointly signed the "Declaration of the Soviet Leadership," declaring a six-month state of emergency in some parts of the Soviet Union beginning at 7 o'clock on 9 April 1990, establishing a state of emergency committee for the Soviet Union, and sending letters to the heads of state and government and the Secretary-General of the United Nations, reiterating that the Soviet Union was committed to its previous "international obligations" and hoped that "the peoples and governments of all countries and the United Nations would receive due understanding."
In addition, the state of emergency committee issued a "Letter to the Soviet People", saying that the reform policy advocated by Gorbachev had reached a dead end, and the country was in an extremely dangerous moment. The committee issued two successive orders calling on all levels of government and administration to impose a state of emergency unconditionally, and to temporarily allow only nine newspapers, including Pravda, to publish the state.
β¦β¦
Although the vice president claimed that it was because of Gorbachev's health reasons that he had replaced him in the presidency, a discerning person could tell at a glance that it was they who carried out the coup d'Γ©tat!
