Chapter 997: Hibernation

It is not easy to establish a hierarchy that can compete with an already developed system. At the beginning of the www.biquge.info century, aircraft carriers appeared, and anti-ship missiles had only appeared for thirty years. Even if the Soviet Union tried to catch up, it would not be easy to erase the gap of several decades, and Serov knew that his pressure was not justified. But who wants to give up halfway?

With so much effort already put into it, we must not stop in the middle. The hard work of the predecessors was not in vain, Serov did not believe in the theory of missile omnipotence, and he also knew that aircraft carriers still had potential. It does not mean that he has to learn everything from the United States, and he has his own ideas about the Meteorite general-purpose missile that replaces the Granite.

"The next launch, whether it succeeds or fails, will be aimed at Tokyo, the capital of Japan." Serov came down from the observatory and said to Marshal Gorshkov beside him, "I'm not kidding, tell everyone else what I mean." ”

"We're going to attack Japan?" Marshal Gorshkov was taken aback, and his first reaction was to oppose it. The general secretary's idea is very dangerous, could it be that he was infected by Reagan and also wanted to take a country out to sharpen his knife?

This kind of thinking is not something that a politician can do, and only a gambler country like the Third Reich can make it, and look at Reagan's foreign interference in recent years, what has become of America's reputation.

In fact, the reputation of the USSR in the seventies was also very stinky, and breaking the existing pattern was always hated. Otherwise, Reagan would not have received support from many countries in the first few years of his administration. Instructions soon became apparent to other countries that Reagan's policy was no different at all from the period of the Soviet strategic offensive, and they began to oppose it again, and the same was true for the country.

Serov stopped, tilted his head to look at the commander of the Red Navy, and said in a long voice, "It is normal for a little accident to occur in the test of new weapons, we can explain that it was a mistake, as we all know, our anti-ship missiles are easily interfered with, and under complex electromagnetic conditions, the situation is normal." If Reagan thinks sending troops will solve the problem, let him come. Otherwise, scolding us from the newspaper, we have all lived for decades, and it is not a big deal. ”

"Is that okay?" Marshal Gorshkov felt that the excuse of bombing by mistake was a bit too imperialist.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's the right thing to do with reliability, and it's been successful a few times in the last few times, and it's a good trend. Once in service, we won't have to worry about how to confront American aircraft carrier battle groups for at least thirty years. Serov let out a sigh of relief and said, "The Red Navy is the country's last shortcoming, and as long as it is made up, there will be no rivals in the world." ”

Serov thinks that he is already very practical, and the Meteor anti-ship missile has been designed to have a range of 5,000 kilometers at the beginning, not to mention that it is no problem to use it as an intercontinental missile outside the combat radius of the US aircraft carrier. The problem that arises with this is the slow progress of the universal missile as a whole. The radar scans the surrounding terrain contours to match them with a digitized map stored inside, similar to the U.S. military's Tomahawk cruise missile, which is more complex than the principle of a radio altimeter. However, during the tests, the Soviets found that there were a number of technical problems with the radar image correction system.

In the end, the different indicators put forward by the various branches of the Soviet Union were turned into heavy anti-ship missile projects against American aircraft carrier battle groups, so that the range of 850 to 900 kilometers was sufficient. In the face of American heavy carrier-based aircraft, it will not suffer either. And as far as he knows, even if it is an American heavy carrier-based aircraft in the 21st century, the combat radius is about 1,000 kilometers.

The current early American F18 carrier-based aircraft has a combat radius of only 600 kilometers, which is only 50 kilometers longer than the range of the Soviet Granite anti-ship missile, and has no essential advantages. The combat radius of US carrier-based aircraft reaching 1,000 kilometers is a matter of the 21 st century.

After inspecting the progress of the Red Navy, Serov went directly to the Kharkov tank factory, the Red Navy is important, but for such a long border of the Soviet Union, the largest territorial area in the world, the army is the basis of everything. The Red Navy could be the icing on the cake, and whether the army was strong or not was fatal to the USSR. Ground armored forces, the cornerstone of the Soviet Army.

The status of the Soviet Armed Forces in the world depends entirely on the strength of Soviet tanks. Although the T80 tank is very powerful, the Soviet Union will never think that its weapons are not sophisticated enough in the pursuit of military power.

Five years ago, the Soviet Union launched the development of the fourth-generation main battle tank T-95, the new T-95 tank weighs about 50 tons, the length and width are basically the same as the T-72 and T-80 tanks, absorbing the various advantages of the current T-80U tank, and giving it more special properties, and is required to surpass the new main battle tank being developed by the United States in many aspects,

A new type of suspension will be used, which will not only ensure smooth driving at high speeds on undulating land, but will also allow the vehicle to adjust the height of the vehicle from the ground at will. A new compartment-type design layout was also adopted, the gun of which was mounted on an unmanned turret of smaller dimensions. A new fire control system is installed, target information will be acquired through optical, television and infrared channels, and a laser rangefinder will be hinged to it.

"It's not bad, I believe that when he comes out, the whole world will be shocked." Serov praised that the new T-95 tank is actually the direct ancestor of the T14 Armata tank, and the reason why it is called the T-95 tank is because the Soviet military is expected to enter the active forces of the Soviet army on a large scale in 95. However, it is known that the Soviet Union collapsed, and it was not until almost thirty years later that it entered service with the Russian army under the name of the T14 Armata tank.

The fate of the T-95 tank was quite lucky, and it was finally resurrected on the T14 Armata tank. Compared with the weapons project that the entire Soviet Union abandoned halfway due to its disintegration, Russia, which also attaches great importance to land power, can still pick it up.

Coming out of the Kharkov tank base, Serov thought about whether to go and see the ground-effect aircraft, and finally thought about it. Go directly to Kiev, the home of the first secretary of the Ukrainian party committee, Serbitsky.

Sometimes it really needs the idea of this Brezhnev's personal disciple, and from the point of view of scheming, Shcherbitsky is not lost to anyone at all, but this person is just a little less lucky.

"The Katyn tragedy was really done by our Soviet Union?" Shcherbitsky was also aware of the recent public opinion war, but he did not know about it, and the only people who had access to the archives were the general secretary and the chairman of the National Security Council. At the moment in the entire USSR, only Sherepin and Serov knew.

"Guess what?" Serov was noncommittal, did not admit and did not deny. Let Serbitsky guess on the matter, he can't say. What's more, the evidence has long been destroyed, and no one can find out.

"I don't know, I don't want to know, you'll take care of it." Shelbitsky smiled and said, "Your method of provoking the curiosity of others in half of your speech should be used on others." I have long passed the age of curiosity. ”

"Hmmm! Let's be honest! I feel that the frequency of stirring is too intensive, there are too many big things happening in a year, and if everything is related to us, a fool can see the problem. Serov mused, "I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this way." ”

"Looks like you've found out!" Shcherbitsky nodded in approval, "That's right, in a few months, from the INF Treaty, the retreat of the Northern Cluster, the US stock market crash to the Rhine camp. It's a little too dense, everything is about us, and even if you just do things and don't talk all the time, you can barely hide your real purpose. Even if you still have a plan in mind now, you should stop for a while and let the passage of time dilute the memory of this time, and it will be easier when the time comes. ”

Isn't it the truth that only by giving can you get? Serov nodded, but everyone can say that this kind of words similar to chicken soup for the soul, if someone else said it, he would definitely not care. But Shcherbitsky said it differently, if this guy was not far from Moscow, but served in the Central Committee, it would be much more difficult to deal with than Chernenko.

"What do you mean I need some rest!" Serov stood up and walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and said, "Okay, that's it for the time being, and then we'll talk about it when the turmoil during this period of time has completely passed." ”

"I'm amazed that you can listen to me." Serbitsky smiled and touched his head, and asked the question in his heart, "How far do you think we are from defeating the United States?" ”

He wanted to know how Serov understood the issue and what it meant to win the Cold War.

In fact, Serov is also very vague about this question, to what extent is it considered a victory, so that all the countries of the world think that the USSR is stronger than the United States? Was the United States willing to end the Cold War with the Soviet Union? It is still impossible to withstand the arms race and admit defeat, these conditions are all different.

"If all countries are made to think that we are number one, the United States is number two. Then there is still one last step left, which is to untie the settlement of the dollar and Middle Eastern oil. And this key point is the Gulf countries of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Serov thought for a moment and said slowly, "If it succeeds, in my imagination, the United States will not be able to turn the tables." The superiority in manpower and geography are on our side, and the United States has only a capital advantage, and the capital advantage is built on oil. This is already the last advantage of the United States, and if it succeeds, the advantage is all on our side. "The Soviet Union sat on Eurasia and controlled a larger population than the United States.

"The final blow?" Shcherbitsky was silent for a moment and said, "If this is the case, we can ascend for a while, and in the darkness before dawn, we ourselves must not fall." ”

Serov nodded, it was also time to hibernate for a while, and this confrontation was about to enter the final countdown.
