The second update is complete

Even Yanayev was a little skeptical that he had already opened the hellish dungeon "Raging Seas", which the country that tried to challenge in the Pacific is still breathless under the security treaty of the Americans. Moreover, the immature Soviet fleet challenged the authority of the Americans in the Arabian Seas, which was not something that other countries dared to do, and it required the courage of a moth to the fire and the wisdom of ordinary people to accomplish this.

However, the Soviet Union did not take a crazy attack, and the ship ramming the opponent's ship branch was already the last resort of the Soviet Union, once it chose to use anti-ship weapons, the Soviet Union would either give in and lose face in the world, or choose to open a copy of the doomsday, so that the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union would disappear under the blow of nuclear war.

"General Secretary Yanayev, our ships have done their job brilliantly." Defense Minister Yazov came to Yanayev's office to report to him on the great news.

"The Red Ukraine and the Tempest successfully forced back the American fleet, and prepared to escort the Chinese Galaxy through the Strait of Hormuz. Yazov said triumphantly.

It won't be long before the contest between the American and Soviet navies in the Arabian Sea will spread through the news to all countries, and the people of the whole world will see that the United States has lost a mess in the face of the heroic Soviet fleet. Even the crew recorded the panicked flight of the American fleet as a first-hand account of the breaking news.

"Well......" Yanayev didn't act as excited as Yazov, because he was thinking about something else.

"General Secretary, you see ......" Seeing the general secretary's bland reaction, Yazov was a little unsure of what Yanayev was thinking. I had to ask tentatively.

Yanayev relieved himself. He glanced at Yazov. Somewhat apologetic, he said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Yazov. Just now I was thinking about something else, I was thinking that the Americans might not give up the hunt so quickly, and even provoke a bigger conflict in the Arabian Sea, yes, a conflict between the American and Soviet navies. ”

"Now our Kuznetsov-class aircraft carriers are docked in the Arabian Seas, and there are also a number of cruisers and destroyers. The combat effectiveness is barely on par with the aircraft carrier fleet of the Americans. Of course, I mean that if the Americans take the lead in adopting a saturation offensive strategy without the whole army being dispatched, I think we still have a chance to turn the tables. ”

Unfortunately, this is not a military conflict, but an incident in which two great powers use the Galaxy to engage in a political game. Therefore, unless we take the means of interception, we will not be able to stop the Americans from seizing the Chinese ship. If we face the entire US aircraft carrier group, do we still have a chance of winning? ”

"Actually, General Secretary Yanayev, we don't actually need to take the approach of saturation attack." Defense Minister Yazov replied, "We do not want to win in this incident, but only to make the countries of the Middle East aware of the existence of the Soviet Union in the Middle East." So as long as you can get a nice draw with the Americans in the Arabian Sea. So what level of subtle influence could the Soviet Union reach in the Middle East? Probably more effective than dropping a nuclear bomb. ”

The Soviet Union deliberately took advantage of the incident in which the United States blackmailed China to enhance its international influence in the Middle East.

"Then there will be a wonderful confrontation in the Arabian Sea. A large-scale confrontation between the Soviet fleet and the American fleet. Yanayev nodded thoughtfully.

――――――

The commander-in-chief of the Fifth Fleet, who was still chatting and laughing with Arab dignitaries, was not calm when he received the report from Nest. And he behaved just like Nister.

"What, you said that Soviet ships suddenly appeared in the Arabian Gulf, and they were not resting in Mumbai, India? Why did it appear in that place, and it was just when we were about to intercept the Chinese ship. "The Commander-in-Chief of the Navy had turned pale to the extreme. This was originally thought to be a safe thing, but there was such a spoiler. Could it be that the Soviet Union and China are having some shady political deal behind the scenes?

"Connect me to Washington immediately, quickly." The commander-in-chief of the Navy said anxiously.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Navy had to temporarily suspend the meeting with the dignitaries and dialed the office phone of Defense Minister Aspin, who was in the middle of the meeting and immediately terminated the meeting, because he was far more concerned about the Chinese cargo ship than the Soviet Union, which was intervening. When he heard that the Chinese cargo ship had finally left under the protection of the Soviet Union, Defense Minister Aspin's face was completely uncontrollable.

"If the Chinese cargo ship is in our hands, then everything can be saved. But damn it, why didn't you guys stop the Chinese cargo ships. So how do we reply to the president. Tell him that because of the sudden appearance of the Soviets, we gave up on continuing the stop? Hell, you've thrown yourself in the face of the US Navy! A bunch of waste. The more As-Ping spoke, the more angry he became, but he had given an order in front of the president before, and he would definitely slap China in the face in this incident. As a result, I didn't expect that not only did the conspiracy fail to succeed, but I was also slapped in the face by the Soviets once.

"There is still a chance to make amends, and we don't mind the impact on the Arabian Sea by immediately dispatching the main force of the U.S. Fifth Fleet to pursue the Chinese cargo ships protected by the Soviet Union. Remember, this operation is critical, and we must not allow the dignity of the U.S. Navy to be trampled on. Even a single aircraft carrier battle group will not hesitate to be dispatched. ”

The Commander-in-Chief of the Navy took a deep breath and said that the price of maintaining the self-esteem of the United States by dispatching an aircraft carrier battle group for the sake of a cargo ship is somewhat terrible.

"Do you really want to do this, Minister of Defense, are we going to fight the Soviet Navy to the end?" Truth be told, aircraft carrier battle groups in the Middle East were not prepared for an armed conflict with the Soviet Union.

Aspin didn't care what the process was, he just needed to see the final result, one that would satisfy the President of the United States. He doesn't care what it costs to be an American. What's more, he also believed that the naval strength of the Soviets was far below that of the United States.

"You have already failed once, and now the opportunity to make amends is in front of you. Also, if I continue to see the poor behavior of the American fleet in the Arabian Seas, don't blame me for not warning you that there will be a major change in the top echelons of the Navy. ”

Defense Minister Aspin emphasized, "Remember, only success, no failure!" (To be continued.) )
