Chapter 669: Charcoal in the Snow
(The chapter name of the previous chapter was wrong, and the editor is being contacted to change it)
"Not only that, but the Soviet Union is also willing to give away the Su-17M4 fighters originally deployed in Eastern Europe to the Romanian Air Force, which will completely change the military strength of the Romanian Air Force, eh...... Is one Su-17M4 flight group enough to perfect the Romanian Air Force? Yanayev asked casually. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
And Primakov took over at a very timely time on the side, singing and harmonizing with Yanayev, "The Su-17M4 fighter is the first generation of digital combat aircraft in the history of the Soviet Army, and so far it has been replaced with a new generation of avionics with the PRNK-54 navigation-attack system as the core, the system has a digital mission computer, in addition, the navigation system and flight control system have also been updated, the nose has also been replaced with a maple-54 laser rangefinder and target designator, and the ejection seat has also been upgraded to K-36DM. It can be mounted with a wide variety of ammunition to perform tasks such as conventional bombing, precision strike, air defense suppression, and reconnaissance. ā
"Now the Romanian Air Force fighters are facing the situation of aging and slow equipment upgrading, and the Su-17M4 can perform multiple tasks, which just alleviates the situation of insufficient Romanian fighters."
Now that the request for the sale of SS-N-21 cruise missiles has been put forward, Yanayev took advantage of the situation and pushed the Su-17M4 fighters, which have always had a bad reputation, to Romania. Because the Romanian army was so poor that there was a serious shortage of funds. The MiG-21 and MiG-23 fighters of the Romanian Air Force are almost on the verge of scrapping and decommissioning, and even the MiG-29 fighters have only 16 units. Moreover, Romania was a low-level combat country that could not afford to use bombers during the Warsaw Pact, and the only bomber that year was the Chinese-made H-5.
Anyway, Romania doesn't understand what digitalization is, and the seemingly "advanced" Su-17m4 is enough to dazzle their eyes. After all, the level of the Air Force has evolved from the H-5 at the level of World War II to the Su-17M4, which is enough to make the Romanians stunned. It would be enough for Yanayev to send Romania a mothballed Su-17M4 group for free, which would be enough to change the structure of the Romanian Air Force.
And the Soviet army after the digital reform has also been stirring the nerves of Western countries, and now there is another Romania for digital reform and deployment of long-range missiles? Britain, Germany and France are about to explode.
However, the "digital" of the Su-17M4 is very different from the real digital fighters such as the Su-24M2 and Su-34, which can be said to be worlds apart. Yanayev was simply throwing some transitional combat products that were no longer needed to Romania as scrap metal. But in the eyes of the Americans, Yanayev's hands have become an ulterior secret.
Who will be fed up and hold on to these thankless things, is there no special idea behind such an almost selfless and vigorous arming of the Romanian army by the Soviet Union? And based on the geographical location of Romania, coupled with the disinformation deliberately disseminated by the KGB to the CIA and MI6, then Constantinescu was convicted of being a traitor to the Western European powers.
What will happen when President Mario discovers that there are traitors in the camp of NATO reserves? Constantinescu will probably be gently cleaned up by the angry President Mario.
"General Secretary Yanayev, I think now we can celebrate the friendship between Romania and the Soviets." Konstantinescu personally walked up to Yanayev and nodded his head in thanks.
However, Yanayev only glanced at him and said slowly, "I hope that President Konstantinescu will remember the promise between us that the Soviet Union will not treat its allies badly." One more thing is that we must not talk to the United States about the deal between us, you know? ā
"Of course there are no problems, General Secretary Yanaev. In the same way, Romania was not going to betray our Soviet allies. Konstantinescu did not see the cunning in Yanayev's eyes as he shook hands with him. As Yanayev plotted on the presidential plane, the Romanian president has fallen into a trap.
After the most critical first step was completed, Yanayev was ready to start the second step, a joint campaign by the KGB and Soviet propaganda to give the Americans the false impression that the Soviet Union was preparing to deploy long-range missiles in Romania.
After returning to the hotel where he was staying, Yanayev took off his tie and coat, sat on the edge of his bed, and dialed the Kremlin's secret line to inform Surkov of the situation.
"Yes, Romania has already moved its mind, and the next step is the cooperation between your Propaganda Department and the KGB, remember, make sure that this drama looks seamless and pushes Romania into a dead end without warning."
Surkov had just finished a secret meeting, and the people who came out of the conference room one after another were red and swollen with red circles and lack of sleep.
Now the KGB and the Ministry of Propaganda have become Yanayev's secret operations department for foreign countries, and it is precisely because he knows the importance of controlling the high ground of public opinion that Surkov will become the gray cardinal of the Kremlin.
"The Soviet Propaganda Department has come up with a concrete and feasible plan, and we will let the Americans solve their allies with their own hands without them knowing. General Secretary Yanayev, maybe in a few days, the newspapers will publish the plans of the Americans to get rid of their allies. ā
"Comrade Primakov, I still need your help."
After hanging up the phone, Yanayev turned back to Primakov, who was standing by the bedside, and said, "I hope that you will be able to meet with the Romanian Deputy Minister of Defense Stengurescu in private, and Comrade Primakov will talk to him in private as if he were a friend, and will not talk about other matters." ā
"Does that make any sense?" Primakov asked inexplicably.
"Of course, do you think it's normal for Soviet foreign policy advisers to talk to the deputy minister of defense in private? What does this look like to Americans? Yanayev paused in the middle of speaking, and Primakov took his words as they could.
"It will make people think that this private meeting is actually a secret discussion between the two countries on some detailed issues, and even if someone asks them afterwards, the other party will only answer, and we are just chatting."
Primakov slapped his thigh, instantly understood Yanayev's purpose, and continued with some surprise, "But how can the Americans believe that the two of us are just gossiping? ā
"In this case, will Romania still be clean?" With his back against the wall, Yanayev stared at the carved marble pillars and said slowly, "Romania has been completely pulled down by us. (To be continued.) )
