The fourth update, 10,000 words are over, ask for a reward here, and it is estimated that my reward is the most stumbling among the boutique authors.

Woolsey's plan was unsurprisingly intercepted by CIA spies, who had served as chief of the Soviet Union's Eastern European Division of the counterintelligence section since 1985 and later became the CIA's International Anti-Drug Center.

Of course, this key piece of information was on Yanayev's desk, and it was the Soviet president who was ambitious to surprise the United States. If compared to the plan in Yanayev's mind, then Woolsey's plan to hold the Chinese ship hostage and seize it seems like a small thing.

After all, Yanayev was ready to let the Soviet Pacific Fleet have a close contact with the US Pacific Fleet directly in the Indian Ocean region, but now there are two problems in front of him, one is that his plan must be approved by the Chinese side, and the other is that the Soviet Pacific Fleet does not have such a strong endurance, and the Soviet destroyers cannot achieve the ability to set off from the Far East to the Indian Ocean and then return from the Indian Ocean to the Far East base in one go. So the Soviet fleet had to have a kind of intermediate supply point to replenish fuel and supplies.

Of course, Yanayev's first thought was a Chinese naval base, which was by far the only option for the Soviet Union. However, this bold plan had to be agreed to by other high-ranking Soviet officials, such as Defense Minister Comrade Yazov. After all, such a plan that might go off the rails also requires the consent of others.

But Yanayev forgot one thing, and that was that the thinking of the fighting people was never on the same channel as ordinary people, when Yazov heard that he was going to have a close encounter with the American Pacific Fleet in the Indian Ocean. He almost raised his hands in approval.

"We have to teach these arrogant Yankees a lesson. Let them know what will happen to the despicable means of the Socialist Union. Yazov said excitedly, waving his fists. The Soviet Navy had not shown its edge around the world for a long time, and it was the first time in many years that he had encountered such a big move, except for a small fight with the Maritime Self-Defense Force in Japanese waters.

"That being said, at the very least, China must agree to such a plan. If the other side does not agree with our plan, then everything we have done will be in vain. Yanayev's only scruple was that the side would veto their proposal. After all, the Soviet Union only wanted to use the Chinese cargo ship Galaxy to confront the United States in the Arabian Sea.

It is also equivalent to making the countries of the Arab world realize that the United States is not the only one that has a say in the Middle East, but also the Red Empire called the Soviet Union.

"I think the Chinese side will definitely accede to our request. As long as General Secretary Yanayev does not show too much obviousness. Yazov proposed, "Our Pacific Fleet could first visit India militarily, dock at their port of Mumbai, and then wait quietly for the Americans to take the bait." ”

"After India replenishes fuel and supplies, we also have enough combat power to compete with the Americans in the Arabian Sea. The United States lost to us in the Mediterranean in 1973, and today, twenty years later, they continue to lose to us in the Arabian Sea. Yazov said very confidently.

Yanayev then dialed the office number of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Smiryev via the presidential hotline, and he informed him about the plot that the United States was preparing to carry out, as well as his own plans to deal with the United States.

"What if we really go to war with the American fleet? Their Pacific Seventh Fleet is ready to come to the rescue. And our Pacific Fleet is in danger of being cut off from support. "The commander-in-chief of the Navy showed another side of concern. Smirev never feared a war with the United States, and even thought of it. There was a little excitement in his heart. His fear was that the Soviet fleet might gain the upper hand in the conflict and eventually be wiped out by the United States in unfamiliar waters.

"Rest assured, when our first fleet is dispatched, the second fleet will be ready to attack. This is an insurance policy that we have laid to force the US fleet to withdraw from the Arabian Seas in the face of an imbalance in the combat strength of the army. Yanayev answered Smirev's concerns, a dangerous, but worthwhile contest. Once the US fleet was defeated in the Arabian Seas, in full view of the countries of the third world, it was undoubtedly a great propaganda victory for the Soviet Union. It can also make itself better infiltrated into the situation in the Middle East.

"A second fleet? We also have a second Pacific Fleet? Even Smiryev didn't understand what Yanayev meant at once.

"The second fleet is the two decommissioned Kyiv-class aircraft carriers and their carrier-based aircraft, and all the personnel who previously served in other fleets can be recalled. In this way, a certain combat strength aircraft carrier formation can be formed in a short period of time and go to the waters of the Indian Ocean to support the fallen First Fleet. ”

"And the Second Fleet is more of a deterrent, and it is impossible to participate in actual combat. In the event of a real battle, the probability of the Second Fleet being quickly wiped out is much greater. "The Soviets calculated that the United States would not dare to make too many stops on the high seas, far from their own country and supply depots, so they dared to send a fleet that was always busy to support.

Smiryev clenched the microphone, he looked at the blue sea and blue sky outside the window, and said with some heaviness, "This move is very risky, General Secretary Yanayev, have you really thought about it?" ”

"Comrade Smirev, the Soviet Union has not been able to get to where it is today, not because of danger. Crisis represents both danger and giving, and if we don't do anything but watch the Americans deal with our allies, other countries will be chilled. ”

Yanayev said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring, but if you think about it carefully, it has nothing to do with the Soviet Union, but Smirev can only agree to Yanayev's request. Because as he said, although the risk factor is very high, if it succeeds, it will be equivalent to breaking the myth of the invincibility of the United States, and may even establish the level of the Soviet Pacific Fleet and the American Navy because of this incident.

In the end, Smiryev nodded and agreed to Yanayev's request, and asked the Soviet Pacific Fleet to be ready, because they could leave to visit India at any time.

With everything in order, Yanayev dialed the number of the president's hotline to speak to the Chinese leader, and he informed another leader of the Red regime about the CIA's information and the latest movements of the Pacific Fleet.

"Fight, definitely fight. If they don't teach the United States a lesson, they don't know when they should stop and when they should follow the rules. This world is not a matter of what his old beauty says alone, but to ask my family if they agree. ”

Yanayev was deeply pleased with the Red leader's statement, and he immediately said that if the Chinese side was willing to join the plan, then the Chinese ships would not have to do anything, but accept the rescue of the Soviet fleet, and the Soviet Union would use the Soviet fleet to give the United States a resounding slap in the face at the moment of the accident.

For the first time, the Chinese side agreed to such a cost-effective and bold deal proposed by the Soviet Union, and this seemingly dangerous provocation was agreed. He also said that if anything happens in the waters of the Indian Ocean, China will use diplomatic pressure to force the United States to withdraw from the oppression or accusations.

Although it was a protest from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was much better to have something than nothing. And when the Soviet Union finished talking to China about its overall plan to deal with the United States, even the Chinese leader, who was also the leader of the red regime, could not help but ask Yanayev whether he could predict the next move of the United States in advance. Mobilizing a fleet to be ready for departure requires at least several weeks in advance of all kinds of preparation problems.

In the face of the Chinese question, Yanayev only replied with a little mystery, "This is the charm of our intelligence department." (To be continued.) )
