However, no matter how everyone looks down on the French army, how they think that the French army has no combat effectiveness, and how they think that the French army does not match the armies of the world powers, everyone still thinks that the 3,000 elite troops of the French army will not disappoint too much, they have the full support of the Czechoslovak army and civilians, they have advanced weapons and equipment, and the terrain advantage can be relied on, they will definitely be able to block the pace of the Soviet army's advance, at least they can hold the Soviet army there for a long time, and limit the war to that city. It could save the rest of Czechoslovakia from war.

Not only did others think so, but the French government and military also thought and planned so: to stand on the basis of blocking the advance of the Soviet army and strive to defeat the vanguard of the Soviet army.

The French army, which has always wanted to show its hand in the Western European and American armies, has always wanted to be ashamed of its previous shame, especially after the British army lost the Falklands War and the American army did not perform well in the Grenada War, they are ready to move, and they have always wanted to find an opportunity to show their muscles, to justify the name of the French army, and to make other countries dare not despise them.

This opportunity finally came, "to fight an army with an unstable military spirit, an unstable rear, and a lack of food and ammunition." It shouldn't be difficult, right? ”

This time, France has come up with an ace unit -- the French Thunderbolt Rapid Reaction Division, and just listen to the name to know how much importance the French side and the government attach to this force.

Unfortunately, facts and wishes often do not match.

After all, the Soviet army is the Soviet army, and no matter how unstable their military spirit is, it is not comparable to the French army, which has a big mouth and no fart skills. Although the French army, with the help of advanced transport planes and the help of local soldiers and civilians, quickly built positions and used large buildings as fortresses, in the face of powerful tank groups and fighters, these 3,000 troops were defeated at once, and suffered heavy casualties. After holding their positions for only three hours, their three lines of defense were destroyed, and 3,000 officers and soldiers plus 2,000 soldiers supported by Czechoslovakia were dumpled by the Soviets.

When the French headquarters was hit by an aerial bomb, which blew the headquarters into ruins and seriously injured the division commander, nearly 2,000 French officers and soldiers chose to surrender. Once again, they carried out their gentlemanly spirit, and quite consciously stepped out of the bunker, marched in line with their hands raised in accordance with the orders of the Soviet troops.

On the contrary, the 2,000 Czechoslovak officers and men who cooperated with them refused to obey the French orders for their surrender, although less than 1,000 were left to fight. The city buildings were used to start street battles with the Soviet troops, and the Soviets lost their troops and withdrew from the city several times.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day, when the Soviets increased their forces, that the defenders of these homelands were bloodily suppressed.

The news of the battle spread outside. The world was in an uproar.

The French government and the French side were disgraced, and the media was full of ridicule. The Czechoslovak government openly advertised that we could accept any aid from France, but refused to accept help from the French ** team, unless they only sent engineering troops and medical teams.

As a result, the morale of the Soviet troops was greatly boosted, and the army continued to advance deep into the territory of Czechoslovakia.

The European and American countries were shocked and no longer dared to be careless and despise the Soviet army. As a result, they made a dying misjudgment about the Soviet Union, believing that the Soviet Union was now full of contradictions. Although many of the republics demanded secession from the Soviet Union, their current power was still strong and by no means would collapse in the short term. They may even be brought back to life.

On the one hand, they increased their efforts to disintegrate the Soviet Union, and on the other hand, they carefully helped Czechoslovakia to hold back the Soviet offensive. Determined to make Czechoslovakia a grave for the burial of Soviet troops, determined to drag the USSR down here.

Precisely because they did not expect the Soviet Union to collapse anytime soon, they paid less attention to China. Before they wanted to encircle China, they still needed China as cannon fodder to stop the Soviet Union's iron hooves. China was also needed to drag the USSR in the Far East and disperse the forces of the Soviet army.

Therefore, they began to tighten their contacts with China, and they tightened their technical exchanges with China, but now they have opened up again, and they have also reduced the restrictions on China's exports, so that more goods will flow to the West, so that China will not focus too much on exports to the Soviet Union.

Although they were very angry about China's sale of grain and other materials to the Soviet Union, they could only turn a blind eye and follow China by saying that the materials exported by China were only for humanitarian purposes and to solve the problem of feeding the Soviet people.

The world of China seems to be silent, and apart from a nonsensical condemnation of the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet troops, there is basically nothing to do, but from time to time the newspapers tell how much grain was sold to the Soviet Union yesterday and how much clothing and quilts are shipped out to the Soviet Union today.

Because the Soviet Union has now become almost the enemy of the whole world, and with China as a country, it still maintains trade relations with them, so it is natural to brag about it in the media, newspapers, and television, saying that it has the help of friendly countries, and that the punishment of Czechoslovakia is just, and warns East Germany and other countries not to make mistakes in judgment, and to ask them to rein in the precipice, turn back to the shore, and recast a solid and impregnable Warsaw Pact organization.

In order to obtain more supplies and to meet the needs of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union opened the door to China in a big way, not only publicizing in the media and praising China for standing on the side of justice and extending a friendly hand to the Soviet Union, but also sending a lot of high-tech technology and high-tech patents to China in exchange for materials that were in desperate short supply, especially handing over to China the high-tech shares shared with East Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and other allies.

In their opinion, those allies are white-eyed wolves, and since the Soviet Union can share those high technologies with them, instead of letting them betray the Soviet Union and possibly send them to European and American countries, it is better to let the Soviet Union give them to China as a favor now, and they can exchange a little bit of things back. In order to further rally China and strive for more funds and materials, the Soviet Union also sent a large number of scientists and technicians to China at China's invitation to help China master those technologies, and at the same time forcibly took away more than half of the wages and income obtained by these scientists and technicians from China to purchase materials and transport them back to the Soviet Union.

As for China's small moves in Outer Mongolia, the Soviet Union is now completely indifferent, and as long as the Soviet Union itself is not touched, they will turn a blind eye to China's actions under the influence of certain high-ranking officials who speak well for China.

Now Guo Zhuocheng is unhappy. The reason why he was in pain was because there were so many scientists and technicians from the Soviet Union who were pouring into China that he had to devote 12 points of energy to receiving them well.

As in previous lives, because of the economic recession in the Soviet Union, the state's investment in scientific research projects had to be drastically reduced, and many scientific research personnel had nothing to do in their units, and could only earn their meager salaries in their units by chatting or reading newspapers to make time, and many people were on the verge of being unemployed, just because they were socialist countries, and they were not allowed to fire people at will, otherwise, these scientific research units and enterprises would have sent them home long ago to be unemployed.

In the past, the Soviet Union was worried about China's rapid development in science and technology, even if these scientific researchers had nothing to do, they would not let them leave the country, let alone enter China, as long as those projects jointly developed with China had Soviet scientific researchers involved, but now even the allies have betrayed, and the scientific researchers of the allies can also bring the possibility of leaking secrets to the Soviet Union, and then trapping their own scientific researchers in the country is completely meaningless, sending them out can not only befriend China, but also obtain valuable foreign exchange for the Soviet Union. It is a good thing to be able to buy back scarce materials for the Soviet Union and improve the living conditions of scientific researchers.

So, Soviet scientists flocked to it. As a matter of fact, these scientific researchers accepted the task with ecstatic feelings, and many scientific researchers who were not assigned to China also tried in every possible way to strive for the target, and did not hesitate to bow their arrogant heads and give gifts and good things to the leaders in order to win the opportunity to come to China.

Not to mention that everyone in the unit is sad and jealous to talk about those colleagues who are fortunate enough to participate in China's scientific research projects, even when they return home, they will be talked about by their wives and children, why can't you go to China, when will you go to China.

Almost all the scientific researchers who went to China made a fortune, received high salaries, lived in comfortable and beautiful houses that they could not imagine, ate food that seemed to them to be a delicacy, and used exquisite and high-end electrical appliances, and every time they returned to the Soviet Union, these people were full of red light, and sent their relatives all kinds of televisions, washing machines, clothes, watches, hams, sausages, and walkmans that could not be seen in the Soviet Union、......, which were really enviable to death, and they were really moved by the fact that they had dishes in front of them.

Now the Soviet Union is keen to go to China to pan for gold, just as the Chinese in the eighties and nineties in the previous life envied going abroad, equating going abroad with making a fortune and equating it with a noble status. What's more, the Chinese side is really good to these scientific researchers, and they take good care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is simply a legendary paradise. In particular, the salary income they pay most attention to is the same as that of Chinese scientists of the same level, much higher than the salary income of 1,000 yuan per Chinese, far more than the income of their domestic counterparts in the Soviet Union, and if real purchasing power is taken into account, then China's benefits are even more. In China, you can buy whatever you want, and the stores are full of piles of goods, while in the USSR, you can buy nothing you want, and you can buy enough brown bread to satisfy your stomach.
