Chapter 1354: A Great Opportunity in Turmoil
As a result, the foundations of the Soviet Union were shaken, and the chaotic situation became more and more uncontrollable.
The third reason, which was also the most direct cause of the turmoil in the Soviet Union, was the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who fled home from the Czechoslovak front. These soldiers, collectively or individually, flocked in after fleeing from the front line, and many soldiers were like a plate of water splashed into the desert, and they could not be found at all. However, they did not really disappear and die, they were just out of management and out of the control of their superiors.
But don't forget it, they have weapons that can kill people, they are all well-trained soldiers, and they are all guys who have seen blood and even killed people on the battlefield. If these guys advocate strength, appreciate strength, if there is the restraint of military law, there is strict control by superiors, they are a strong army, they can attack the city, can hold on to dangerous places, but once they lose their restraint, lose their ideals, and lose their moral bottom line, no one knows what they will become in the future. In the end, it is up to them to become a murderous demon king or a chivalrous warrior who acts for the heavens.
They were soldiers who had fled from the Czechoslovak front, and were deserters under military law, and should be tried before a military tribunal. But with so many people fleeing, and now that organizations at all levels are paralyzed, naturally no one will interrogate them or punish them. According to the concept of psychology, such people are the most likely to despise authority, the most likely to take chances, the most prone to extremes, and the easiest to do extreme things. To put it simply, they are a bunch of dangerous people.
Those simple-minded, wealth-hungry, and extremely vicious soldiers, because their families are poor and they have no other skills and money, are most likely to embark on the road of robbing their homes and houses in the future. It's very easy for them to embark on this road, and a few people can come up with the idea of robbing shops and banks with a few words, and they will soon be kings. Descended the mountain as a bandit and began to embark on the road of poisoning his neighbors.
A soldier who has a little brains and can gather a large group of people is likely to be bewitched by others to become someone else's thug, become a bodyguard of a powerful person, or become the armed force of a certain force group, charging into battle for the other side in order to reap their own benefits, to obtain their own remuneration or to maintain their own lives, and this kind of force often leads to or gives rise to the outbreak of national and regional contradictions.
The wisest soldiers are likely to set themselves up kings. They either come forward completely to become a party force, or they kidnap a certain political or local force to become their puppets and become their own spokesmen for their own interests. In the end, these soldiers often become local forces on the separatist side.
With the abundance of such local forces, domestic scuffles will inevitably break out.
Guo Zhuocheng hoped for the collapse of the Soviet Union. He hoped that the Soviet Union would be torn apart, but he absolutely did not want the Soviet Union to be in flames of war, which would not only be detrimental to him and the companies he controlled to make money, but more importantly, to the interests of China.
What are China's interests at this stage? It is not to take the opportunity to carve up the accumulation of the Soviet Union over the past several decades, nor to try by all means to seize the territory of the Soviet Union, but to maintain a relatively safe international environment and bury itself in development and raise the economy. Let the people's living standards be improved, the country's overall strength will be enhanced, and in the future, it will compete with the United States for power, so as to become a world power. Participate in the management of the world.
Everyone is willing to become a strong country, and everyone is willing to manage others rather than other countries, but this requires strength, and without strength, they can only become the objects of other countries' management. Your interests will be considered first and then on the premise of taking care of the powerful country.
Expanding the land area is certainly a way to enhance the overall national strength, but expanding the land area is a process in which we must fully display our national strength. There will be countless resistance, and if others are dissatisfied or even resist in the process of expansion, it will often attract countless opposition, and may even become the target of public criticism. In the past, all countries that tried to dominate the world were like this, such as the Qin Dynasty and the Roman Empire, as close as Japan, Germany, and as recently as the Soviet Union.
They all worked hard to expand the size of their land and to control the people of other countries, but as a result, whether they succeeded in expanding their land area or gave up in the middle of it, they all ended up with more gains than they lost, and they all ended up ruined and ruined.
Now that the Soviet Union has become a total chaos, there is about to be a warlord scuffle, and there are about to appear many groups and groups that want China's support and are willing to dedicate their land area to China in exchange for various kinds of support, and China has also encountered a rare golden opportunity in history to recover its territory or even expand its territory.
If China concentrates the strength of the whole country and the whole army, it is entirely possible to gain a lot of territory, even a large area of land, in this chaotic situation, but the next question is how to hold it, how to develop, and how to deal with the counterattack from all countries in the world.
Even the most confident people like Guo are skeptical that China will be able to annex large swathes of the Soviet Union. This is not because they are all humble gentlemen, at least the reborn Guo Zhuocheng is not a bullshit gentleman, but because they understand China's comprehensive national strength, understand their own family background, understand the reactions of countries around the world, and understand the mentality of Western countries.
The risks posed by the annexation of large swathes of Soviet territory were simply too great, too big to be tolerated, so big that Cheng dรน could be choked to death.
After so many years of rapid development, China's economy can be said to have made great progress, even in the face of the United States, the most militarily powerful United States, and the Soviet Union, which did not collapse before the collapse, if these countries invade China, enter China from the northwest or land in China from the sea in the east, China has the confidence and ability to drive the invaders back. However, China's military strength is like this, it does not have the ability to invade other countries, it does not have the ability to face a full-scale attack by many countries, it can drive away the invaders of other countries, and it will definitely be dying and in a state of half-death, and the country will be completely devastated and the economy does not know how long it will take.
It can be said that China's current strength is a bit glamorous on the outside, but very empty on the inside, and it can even be described as singing empty city plans:
Of the new fighters that have been developed for many years, there are only about 300 advanced Jian-10 fighters in China so far, and the other two fighters, the Jian-11 and Jian-12, which have been developed by drawing on US fighter technology, are only equipped with two flying regiments, and the replacement of the air force has not yet been completely completed. In the event of an all-out war with the United States and the Soviet Union, China will have no choice but to parry against the thousands of fighters on the other side.
Only five killer nuclear submarines have been built so far, and three of them are still first-generation nuclear submarine technology, noisy and shallow, and the small hull cannot be equipped with large intercontinental ballistic missiles, or even cruise missiles with a range of thousands of kilometers.
So far, there are only eight early warning planes -- multipliers of the Air Force's combat effectiveness, and three of them are still being tested and adjusted.
There are only about 30 large military transport planes in the whole army, which were manufactured in cooperation with the Soviet Union, and although China has mastered all the key technologies, a lot of equipment and equipment are still in Ukraine, and it will take two to three years for China to manufacture them independently.
It's not that Chinese scientists don't work hard, it's not that Guo Zhuocheng is stingy with insufficient funds to buy, it's just that China's technological foundation is too thin, and many technologies are taught by Soviet experts hand-in-hand, and those equipment are shipped from Ukraine, and Chinese experts can't master them for a while, and they have to affect the production progress of large transport aircraft.
Tanks, armed personnel carriers, armored vehicles, and other aspects have developed rapidly, and have basically completed their upgrading, and the old tanks have been replaced by a new generation of tanks, but although they are on par with the world's most advanced technology in terms of quality, they are not sufficient in quantity, and self-protection is still reluctant, but it will take several years of hard work to deal with the fierce war.
The reason why China's weapons and equipment are still dwarfed by the development of weapons and equipment is not that our military industrial enterprises do not work hard, nor is it that the country's leaders do not pay attention to it, but it is really that China owes too many debts in the past, and it is impossible to become fat in one go. In particular, when the national economy needs to develop more rapidly, the military industrial enterprises must give way, although it is not to suspend the work of the military industrial enterprises, but it is also necessary to allocate all resources, manpower, and funds in a more rational manner, and it is impossible to take special care of the military industry.
In the previous life, the slogan of the central leadership was "taking economic construction as the center", which meant that the development of the national economy should be the first priority, and other industries would have to give way. At that time, the slogan was shouted like this, and the action was also done in action, many military industrial enterprises were shut down and transferred, many military industrial projects were discontinued, the army's military spending was repeatedly reduced, and there were even cases where the army was allowed to do business, earn its own livelihood, and raise its own funds because the army's funds could not maintain the normal operation of the army, which made other countries laugh and lose their teeth.
Although there was no such extreme situation in this life, with the help of Guo Zhuocheng, a large number of old-fashioned weapons were exported in exchange for foreign exchange, and the country has made greater progress in all walks of life than in the previous life, so those important military projects have been retained, especially the aircraft engine project, the Jian-10 project, the cruise missile project, the intercontinental missile project, the global positioning system project, the nuclear weapons miniaturization project, the manned space project, and so on, have achieved world-renowned results, and of course have also consumed a large amount of funds. The military is also not allowed to do business or participate in local economic activities.
However, because the country's foundation is too thin, many industrial facilities can not be built by shouting, and even if there are sufficient funds, it will take time and need experts, so military production and civilian commodity production often compete with each other for raw materials.
