The third more

After the nightmare massacre battle of Baghdad, the U.S. military finally took control of a target city that was very important for their strategy, and then as long as they slowly cleaned up the remnants of the government forces involved in Iraq and then installed a Western-leaning American regime, then for President Mario, his goal of deploying in the Middle East would be half achieved.

Next, as long as the US government uses the Middle East as a springboard to continuously incite the anti-government forces in Syria and Iran to carry out revolution, then the United States can even send troops to the other two countries to overthrow the pro-Soviet regime and establish a Middle East alliance group in the three countries to deal exclusively with the Soviet Union's Central Asian region.

The Americans were very thoughtful, but he forgot that the little goodwill he had accumulated in the Middle East had long since disappeared after the 1991 Gulf War, and the displacement caused by the war had made the people of the Middle East generally believe that their misfortune came from the United States, and that anti-American and anti-American sentiments were growing and spreading. The main focus of the United States is still on the remnants of Saddam's armored forces, and they have no interest in the small fish and shrimp that are slowly growing up in war-torn areas, and for the Americans, as long as they control the army and oil fields, then the whole country is in the pocket of the United States.

The hidden forces planted in the Middle East have been laid down, and Yanayev has no spare time to pay attention to the future growth of al-Baghdadi. He hopes that this ambitious guy who wants to develop and grow will one day become a behemoth that the United States has to face squarely, and show his fangs and bite people fiercely without the other party inadvertently.

Yanayev focused on Soviet soldiers' carrying gear and gun accessories, most of which were old ones designed during the war in Afghanistan in the 80s. Although the Soviet Union's operational thinking has changed from large-scale improvised production to improving high technology and battlefield survival rate, no one has ever recognized its importance in carrying equipment.

As for things like Picatinny rails? Previously, the huge army of Mao Xiong could not afford the same huge expenses of the AimpointComp reflex sight per person, but Yanayev had the intention of trying to popularize the KObra reflex sight on a large scale in the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Kobra, which was used on a small scale during the Chechen War, was not a reflective sight in the form of a guide rail, but a side-mirror bridge was used in an ingenious way. But in a series of later operations, it was shown that the guide did play an important role, so Yanayev wanted to promote this gadget in the internal affairs department now. After all, the conservative forces in the army are still quite strong, and they will not consider innovating equipment until they see the results.

Naturally, such a thing could not be done with Comrade Yazov, so Yanayev found Kryuchkov and Pugo. Explain your point of view to them.

"Modular Lightweight Load Equipment is a freely assembleable carrying device in which the item is equipped with a nylon webbing with a trapezoidal sub-bag attachment system, which can be combined with other equipment to form a personalized carry. Coordinate the individual and overall components of the tactical system, including strengthening the tactical load-bearing vest. In this way, when the soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs perform different tasks, they can be matched with different combinations, for example, the current equipment is a combination of RD54 carrying gear and R22Z tactical chest harness. However, with modular vests, we can mix and match them in different combinations at will. It is no longer necessary to use different carriers for other tasks. Convenience, that's the great innovation. ”

Yanayev explained to them why he wanted to change the previous carry-on equipment, and that the Molle system was also a personal carry-on equipment developed by Special Protection Systems for the U.S. military in 1998, and it was clear that the Soviets were planning to take the development of individual equipment ahead of the Americans.

"This is indeed a very novel approach, but it is difficult for us to innovate the equipment according to a novel idea without a physical entity." Pugo was a little embarrassed, they couldn't just use Yanayev's words to make the modular lightweight load vest that Yanayev said, and was this kind of thing really necessary for the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

"I've already ordered people to sit on the equipment innovation. Presumably the results will be available soon. Yanayev was also trying to promote his ideas in the military and police departments, so everything had already been arranged. He still chose the shape of a 6094 vest. It was used precisely to conduct tests on a small scale in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"There is also the matter of tactical guides that are also ready to be promoted among the soldiers of the Ministry of the Interior, as we all know that our rifles do not have the habit of installing rails at all, and if you want to equip accessories, you can only install side mirror bridges, so I envisage the promotion of Picatinny tactical rails in the Ministry of the Interior, and set an example for the future promotion of the army."

Picatinny rails, tactical vests of the Molle system, just a fine camouflage and tactical helmet, Mao's Ministry of Internal Affairs troops are no different from the special forces of the future US imperialists, and in the long run, Mao will not be hairy. The trend of future development is originally to become elite, so why not perfect the details of the soldiers and increase their survival rate on the battlefield.

Of course, Yanayev believes that after years of large-scale armored group combat ideas, in the eyes of some generals, soldiers are machines that can shoot and property that can be sacrificed, but in Yanayev's eyes, everyone is a life worthy of respect, so he will choose to do something to improve the survival rate of those soldiers on the battlefield.

"There is no problem with the Ministry of Internal Affairs in a small area of experimentation, but how General Secretary Yanayev persuaded the army to adopt this new type of equipment, I think the price of these things must be very expensive. The Army, accustomed to everything being able to mass-produce large quantities of equipment, is certainly not very willing to pay an extra penny for its soldiers. ”

Yanayev also thought about this question, just like the reason he used Ogarkov to vigorously promote electronicization in the army, many people opposed it at first, but in the end they were impressed by Yanayev's hard-line methods, and had to change their thinking to accept this equipment, "As long as you can set an example, and these 'gadgets' perform well in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then I can naturally convince Yazov and Field Marshal Valennikov." ”

"So the reform of the Soviet army is left to the two of you, and I'm sure you won't let me down." Although Yanayev was peaceful, his attitude was very blunt, and he stopped Pugo from wanting to continue talking by ending the conversation.

And Kryuchkov, who never spoke, just nodded and said, "We will faithfully follow the instructions of General Secretary Yanayev and experimentally innovate the individual equipment of soldiers in the Ministry of Internal Affairs." ”

"Thank you Comrade Kryuchkov for your understanding." Yanayev finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving Yanayev's office, Pugo complained a little about why Kryuchkov had acceded to Yanayev's request, knowing that the untested equipment was a joke when it was handed out to the soldiers.

Kryuchkov, who had been walking hastily down the corridors of the Kremlin, stopped, turned his head and threw a mocking smile at the chattering and complaining Pugo.

"Comrade Pugo, I think you have misunderstood what the general secretary meant, this is just a small signal, do you understand? General Secretary Yanayev is not just looking at a small equipment update, he wants to use this to understand the resistance to the implementation of innovation within the military and police, and if I am not mistaken, I am afraid that there will be even greater actions to come. ”

"Bigger moves?"

Pugo frowned and asked rhetorically, "What kind of big move will make General Secretary Yanayev use a small equipment innovation to throw stones and ask for directions?" ”

Kryuchkov sighed and said slowly, "I'm afraid that this big move can affect the future development of the entire Soviet army." (To be continued.) )
