Chapter 332: Pingdu Town Dew Big Bobo (2)
(The second more, many people don't understand what the original five chapters mean, referring to the fact that some of the five chapters in the outline have not yet been coded, but because it violated the bottom line, the plot was not written in detail, and it was directly summarized in the opening paragraph in chapter 331.) )
Poland itself has launched a military ammunition training on the border of the Ukrainian autonomous region, and Walesa hopes to take this opportunity to direct the attention of the masses from home to abroad and deflect its own contradictions. And the Polish Deputy Minister, the most powerful army hawk Kharsky, also believes that it is time for the outside world to see the true strength of Soviet Poland, as an Eastern European power that has escaped the notification of the Soviet Union, how can it not show its strong side.
The Polish side of this border exercise can be said to have worked hard, and even mobilized the second, eighth, and sixteenth tank divisions, as well as two mechanized divisions to conduct exercises, painstakingly trying to create a feeling of Polish steel torrent in the Polish-Ukrainian border area. I don't want to think about who helped you with the equipment you have in the first place, and now you are turning your face and becoming a white-eyed wolf so quickly.
However, Moscow explicitly forbade the Ukrainian Military District to provoke the Polish army on the border in any form, and did not make some counterattacks in the face of the other side's provocation, which made many comrades hold back a lot of anger in their hearts, so they thought of another way to mock each other and collectively watched the Polish military exercises on the border line.
So there was a very interesting scene on the Polish border, when the top leaders of the Ukrainian Military District of the USSR ordered soldiers to watch the exercises of the Polish army near the border. The soldiers who had been arranged to watch didn't even bring a gun, so they sat bored for a long time, and then packed up and went back. The remaining Polish army had a bewildered expression.
The exercise lasted until the second day. There has been no increase in patrolling troops on the Ukrainian border, and there has not even been a special reduction in patrolling armored units due to Polish military exercises. Of course, such a seemingly disdainful adventure is actually prepared by the Soviet Armed Forces in Ukraine, and they have ambushed a force along the border, and once the Polish side crosses the border with the help of exercises, this mysterious armored division lurking in the jungle will give the incoming enemy a head-on blow.
After all, Poland once had a black history of wanting to annex western Ukraine, so the Soviet side maintained the status quo on the surface, but in fact tightened its guard. In case the other party is pretending to be a real one.
Obviously, Poland did not have the courage to do so, and their military exercises did not provoke the vigilance of the Soviet side, and they became more and more perfunctory. And Defense Minister Yazov made a statement about Polish military exercises at a press conference in Moscow. "Presumably everyone is very curious about the exercises of the Polish troops on the border line, and our exercises on the first day of the Polish army can be seen that the Soviet Union does not need to set up heavy troops on the border line at all, because we have every reason to believe that such a team can be driven back by the Soviet armored forces before it has penetrated dozens of kilometers into Ukraine."
Very arrogant provocation, Yazov's subtext is that I am not saying that the USSR looked down on Poland. Rather, Poland is indisputably garbage. It's not worth our fingers at all.
Such a statement is sad enough, especially for the president who had the ambition to provoke a political conflict between Poland and the Soviet Union, Walesa.
"It's not the same script we said it was, Comrade Kharsky. Why did the USSR show such restraint? They even looked down on us, believing that the military might of Poland was nothing more than a joke. ”
The Soviet reaction was like a slap in the face to Walesa, who walked around his office in disgrief, looking up the window just in time to see the bronze statue of Prince Yozev Poniatowsky. The nobleman, who was given the title of Marshal of the Empire, conveyed to Walesa a strong and unyielding spirit, which is exactly that. He will try his best to show Poland's tough and strong side in foreign policy, even if he does not hesitate to offend a few European powers, but also let them look at him squarely.
It is precisely because of this that Poland's ridiculous self-esteem will be ridiculed by the Soviet Union. Of course, the anger of the ridicule gave Walesa the idea that he must make Moscow suffer.
"Maybe Moscow doesn't care about our small number of troops? We believe that military exercises on the border should continue so that the USSR will pay attention to us. "Harsky is as unrealistic visionary as Walesa, and he came up with a seemingly bold but actually stupid idea.
"We can conduct offensive exercises on the border, and this will definitely attract the attention of the Soviet Union. It's better if the president is there to observe the war in person, so that you can better establish your place in the minds of the masses. Prove to them that we can not only resist the Soviet attack, but even counterattack Ukraine within 24 hours, capture Kyiv, and form a hostile situation with the Soviet army. ”
The Polish side naively thought that the Soviet Union's ignorance was merely a pretense of indifference to itself, and that only further provocations could provoke the nerves of the Red Reich. Poland, which obviously overestimated its own strength, looked to one very important thing, that is, on the European continent, the Soviet Union was a terrible role that Britain, France, and Germany had to be treated with caution, and it was just a small country that had just become independent and had not even achieved economic revitalization.
Walesa's eyes lit up with the president's personal presence to supervise the exercises, and it was true that it would increase his prestige in the military and serve as a deterrent to the Soviet Union, and he was certainly willing to do it.
"Very good, then the next military exercise will be personally arranged by Comrade Kharsky, and the best time can be set in the next 10 days, and we will re-conduct an offensive exercise to cross the border line. Strive to get a reaction of strong protest from the Soviet side. ”
The new military exercises announced by Walesa and Kharsky have aroused strong resistance among the people, who believe that this is nothing more than a senseless money-burning operation, Poland has already conducted a military exercise before, and lost face in the military exercise, and now they have to stretch their face to each other again, begging the Soviet Union to slap them in the face again?
After Yanayev saw the news, he just silently said that the Polish president's plane should not fall from the sky, after all, the weather in western Ukraine is not very good after entering the winter, after all, their president's luck is the same as this weather, which has always been not very good.
