Chapter 157: Unprecedented pomp
(The third update is over, and some things are on the spot)
The entire Soviet Union gathered in front of the television to watch this great event and celebrate the grandeur of the Motherland. Yanayev in front of the camera looked shiny, he waved his hand to the camera and greeted the people of the whole country in front of the camera.
Yanayev hosted delegates from North Korea, reaffirming the friendship between the Soviet Union and the DPRK that the DPRK wanted to continue to expand trade with the Soviet Union, which had already lost many trading partners due to the peaceful evolution of the communist countries of Eastern Europe, and if it lost another Soviet Union, it would be fatal to the already fragile North Korean economy.
It is precisely for this reason that the DPRK will be more like a faithful Southeast Asian watchdog, prostrate at the side of the Soviet Union. Historically, the collapse of the Soviet Union led to a decade of economic recession in North Korea. It was almost at the beginning of the twenty-first century that it slowly regained its strength.
"We have always taken full care of our socialist allies." Yanayev replied politely, but what he said next made the North Korean representatives feel cold.
"But as you know, the Soviets have been in serious economic difficulties lately, and we can't buy them at unusually low prices, or even with selfless assistance, as we did at the beginning." Although Yanayev said it very tactfully, everyone can hear that the good days of North Korea are coming to an end.
The North Korean representative showed an unconcealed disappointment on his face, but Du May, who was on the side, gloated a little, but fortunately, Vietnam had already begun to try economic reforms, unlike North Korea, which was in a situation of economic collapse once it lost the support of its allies.
Ignore the lost North Korean representatives. The next parade is the most important thing. Yanayev did not take the lead to speak. Instead, he first greeted the representatives of World War II veterans in the audience.
In the face of Yanayev's sudden concern. These World War II veterans were a little flattered, and when they wanted to stand up and shake hands with Yanayev, they were grabbed by the other party and pressed down on the shoulder, he smiled and said, "If your legs and feet are inconvenient, there is no need to stand up, I only represent the whole people, and I pay you the deepest respect." ”
When Yanayev said this, he specially bowed a forty-five degree bow, and the camera just captured the scene of Yanayev bending down and bowing. There were also some confused expressions on the faces of the veterans present. And it just happened to let the people of the whole country see Yanayev's political show without the slightest deliberate contrived. Sometimes, a natural example can win the applause and applause of the masses.
"This ...... General Secretary, you are really, too politely. After thinking about it for a long time, the veteran representative used such an inaccurate word to express his difficulty in calming down.
Yanayev inadvertently glanced at his empty left sleeve and said to him with respect, "Thank you for everything, the Motherland will never forget you." ”
A phalanx of soldiers marched across Moscow's Red Square in unison, rifle bayonets in their hands glittering in the May sun, red songs were played across the sky, and white doves representing peace and hope soared into the air, accompanied by colorful hot air balloons fluttering upward. It represents the desire to love peace and hope.
The singing of the Katyusha resounded in every corner of Moscow's Red Square, and was accompanied by the Moscow armored forces. Neat phalanx of T80 and T72 tanks. Pulled by a massive steel monster with 1,250 horsepower, the steel tracks cover every piece of land in Red Square, announcing the arrival of the red polar bear to the world.
When he saw the T80 tank, Du Mei's eyes flashed brightly, and he had forcibly purchased some T72 foreign trade versions of the tank through a wave of military sales, but what really made Vietnam excited was the T80 developed on the basis of the T64, but the Soviet Union did not have a foreign version of these tanks for the time being. However, according to the recent frenzied arms sales of the Soviet Union, there may be a day when the T80 will also appear on the list of foreign sales.
Just as Du Mei was thinking about it, the subtle facial expressions of all the leaders could not hide from the cameras in front of them.
The next thing is to enter the phalanx of the missile troops, which made the entire West frightened by the Sam missile series kicked off and slowly appeared, from the individual portable SAM 18-pin anti-aircraft missile, to the SAM 19 Tunguska, and even the giant SAM 21 Triumph long-range missile also appeared at the parade ceremony, when the giant weapon walked through Red Square, it attracted a lot of admiration from the audience.
And Yanayev is also secretly proud, he just wants to achieve such an effect, for this show of muscle action, the Soviet Union will pull out all the treasured family funds to bask in the sun. Yanayev knew that he had no way to return to the magnificent August 1 Western military exercises, so he could only warn Western countries in this way. The decline of the Soviets does not mean that our weapons have lost their deterrent power.
And the Soviet Union finally moved a weapon that could turn North Korea sideways, long-range ballistic missiles.
Although the Soviet Union began in 1972, it supplied about 20 Scud B missiles to the DPRK and continued to supply them until the end of the 1980s. Since then, the DPRK has acquired from Egypt an improved version of the more advanced Scud-B missile, which the DPRK has copied with all its might, and has successfully produced the Hwasong-5 missile.
Three years ago, the DPRK learned from the experience of Iraq's Al-Hussein missile, lengthened the fuel tank, increased the range, and began to develop the "Labor" missile. But so far there has been no major breakthrough in research, only Yanayev's mind is as bright as a mirror of the progress of North Korea's missile experiments, because after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992, researchers from the former Soviet Union's Makaev Design Bureau began to help North Korea develop new missile technology. In 1995, the Labour missile was officially deployed.
This time, the Soviet military parade was almost like an arms show coveted by the socialist allies, and the North Korean representative stood beside the somewhat absent-minded Wangyanayev and tried to ask about the SAM missile in private, but Yanayev cleverly avoided the topic, because now was not the time to discuss it.
When the last weapon appeared, the Katyusha, which had been played, came to an abrupt halt and was replaced with a song with more radical lyrics, the "March of the Soviets" adapted by Yanayev. When he asked for the more "domineering" lyrics to be sung by the tenor, he was questioned by Surkov.
"Is it really suitable for such lyrics, which are full of great power chauvinism, to be played at a military parade?" Surkov, who was also in charge of the parade as head of the propaganda department, asked with some concern.
Yanayev, who was well versed in the violent thinking of the Slavic people, asked him rhetorically, "Which is more politically correct or radical slogans that can win the support of the people?" For example, the statement of Our Lady that 'the Soviets should live in peace with the Western world and never go to war' is more popular than the radical slogan that 'the Soviets will level the world and never show mercy to the enemies who threaten the motherland'. ”
"The second." Surkov replied.
"That's it, is there any more problem?" Yanayev gave him a blank look, "friendly surprise" never appears in Yanayev's dictionary, considering the feelings of the British in the lyrics? I'm sorry, we don't have much affection for the European-stirring sticks, so if he can't get used to it, he will go to the embassy to protest himself. I am confident that the Minister for Foreign Affairs will resolve this issue amicably.
What's more, when the Americans created the Soviet March, they wanted to discredit the Soviet Union, but they did not expect that this song would later become a heroic march sought after by everyone. This is just as wonderful as the red-necked Trump's approval rating soaring before he has crossed it.
(We, the Soviets, will flatten the entire free world!) )
As the music sounded, the last terrible murderous weapon of the Soviets slowly appeared in the eagerly awaited eyes of the people of the world. The huge body made everyone feel a terrifying and oppressive atmosphere. The body of more than thirty meters carried a terrible warhead with a yield of almost two hundred million tons of T-N-T. Enough to destroy the world several times.
(From Belfast across Europe to the Far East!) )
It was the last trump card of the Soviet Union, the most feared weapon of the West, and the two strongest trump cards of the Soviet Union, along with the torrent of steel and the huge arsenal of nuclear weapons that leveled the whole of Europe.
(The Red October March sings across the land.) )
NATO, in awe, named the weapon after the most terrible demon in hell.
(Aspen, Katyusha, steel torrent, and our red polar bear.) )
R-36M, Satan. (To be continued.) )
