Big Time 1958

"It seems that the Mongolian cluster does not need to be formed for the time being. In any case, there are 80,000 to 90,000 soldiers. It is a waste to put it in a secondary direction. If it is placed in the direction of Central Asia, it can also serve as a backing for the Afghans." Shelov pointed out "It turns out that the United States still has a psychological shadow on the two wars in North Korea and Vietnam. According to our intelligence in the United States, Reagan once proposed to unite China to attack India, but their own Congress did not agree."

I don’t know if this intelligence is true or false. Even if it is true, China will not help the United States with its own life. If both countries decide to send troops at the same time, it will be feasible, but the US Congress itself has not passed it, and China cannot see it at all. American sincerity.

   "Although I didn't achieve all the goals, I was a little surprised by China's calmness." Andropov nodded.

"China's calm is because there are nearly 200 million Bangladeshis in the bordering area. If they dare to detonate the local situation, they will all take down the population bomb." Shelov laughed, "This is the Far East with some of our generals. The region is the same, but we still have the advantage in weapons. China does not have such a huge tank army to protect itself. Once the war begins, 200 million Bangladeshis flee the border because of the war. I can't imagine such a situation. ."

  200 million? Andropov and Ustinov both shuddered at the thought of this number. You must know that the population of the Soviet Union is currently this number, but the area of ​​the Soviet Union is one hundred times the size of the Greater Bengal region. This is equivalent to five generations of your family living in the same house, and the house is only 20 square meters. I believe that the comrades of the Soviet KGB border guards, when patrolling the border in the Bangladesh region of India, have absolutely no less psychological pressure than the KGB border guards in the Far East.

"But the United States has another move that makes me more worried. I heard that Reagan is going to help China improve its military construction. If China agrees, this is for us." Defense Minister Ustinov said worriedly, "If the U.S. uses the Chinese population as its manpower, it will put enormous pressure on us."

"Any plan needs time to test the effect, and even if it is a sudden and historically rare conscience discovery of the United States, it does not matter if it sincerely cooperates with China once. China cannot support the military of the model of the United States." Shelov Not worried, he said, "And now China has no money. Like our free assistance in the 1950s, the United States absolutely cannot do it. At least when Reagan thought that the power was evenly matched, the United States would not do it."

In exchange for opening the market, there is no need to worry about it. At least the basic effect will not be achieved until the mid-1990s. Moreover, the US has the advantage in the navy and air force, and the army level can only be said to be within the normal range, which is absolutely no different from the Soviet Union. compare. The navy and air force are expensive military services, and time will slowly dilute the U.S. plan. What's more, the Soviet Union is a land-power country, and China's navy and air force are strong, and it is definitely not the Soviet Union that is unlucky.

   Shelov thought for a while, this should be the early implementation of the Peace Model Project. China really made a lot of good things at that time, can the KGB think of a way to make some of them?

   China is fully armed by the Soviet Union. It is easier said than done to turn all Soviet weapons into American weapons. With the scale of Chinese soldiers, the United States can spend 30 years planning slowly. If the Americans don't dislike it, they can consider bribing the General Political Commissar. Maybe the General Political Commissar will give you a long-term plan when he is soft-hearted.

"The August 1st military exercise continues!" Brezhnev looked at several important cadres around him with indifferent eyes and said, "We have occupied a complete advantage in the Eurasian continent. After waiting for the news of India's victory, we can concentrate on it. Deal with America's problems."

   "Yes, General Secretary!" Ustinov and Serov nodded at the same time, then looked at each other, and the exercise continued.

  Although the August 1st military exercise is still going on, the cadres of the leadership of the Soviet Union are still staring at the war situation in South Asia. In Pakistan's repeated appeals, the Arab countries could not sit still. Both pro-US and pro-Soviet countries began to give Pakistan some assistance, both economic and military. However, when South Asia was ignored by the United States and the Soviet Union at the same time, the voices of these countries were basically not heard, if not completely blocked.

  The United States gave up Pakistan, which seems almost impossible, but in fact Serov feels that the Americans are trying to plan another possibility, which is to draw China closer to NATO. That is to say, the United States believes that it has a great advantage in China.

"It's been 30 years since you infiltrated one province a year. Besides, I'm not dead. We have time, let's play slowly!" Serov thought he would definitely win. Well, once the Soviet Union's new allies stabilized, NATO's hard days came.

   On the other hand, Afghanistan and India, with the support of the Soviet Union, attacked Pakistan from the north and the south. India's only field marshal, Marshal Sam Manekshaw, formulated an all-out attack against Pakistan. Seven hundred thousand Indian soldiers were divided into three directions to attack, and their fronts reached the Indus Valley. In the last Indo-Pakistani war, Sam Manekshaw commanded the Indian army and made East Pakistan disappear from the world. He also became the only marshal of India.

  Compared to India’s progress, the Afghan army started to make little progress after taking control of the Afghan territory divided by the Duran Line, and the combat effectiveness of the Afghan People’s Army was still slightly inferior to that of the Pakistani army. Amin's earlier success was based on the hope that the majority of the Afghan nation would return.

   Even so, Amin gained immense popularity for regaining lost ground in Afghanistan. Today's Afghanistan has finally become its own complete country, and no longer has to endure the humiliation of the division of the main ethnic group. Pashtuns paid homage to Amin, Chairman of the Council of Ministers, and praised him as an eagle of Pashtuns.

   "Can't the Afghans change the word? Why are there eagles everywhere?" Serov, who received Putin's telegram, couldn't stop complaining. Of course he wanted to complain, knowing that the August 1st exercise in the West continued, he was still at a disadvantage. If nothing else, this time is destined to be the background of Marshal Ustinov.

After the suspension of the exercise, Serov was thinking about how to crack Marshal Ustinov's big deep assault. Unfortunately, he has not come up with a solution until now. This tactic of big deep assault is too simple, and it is like a brick, you You know that this brick will hit your head, but you can only use your own head to hard connect it. This feeling is very weak.

Marshal Ustinov didn't keep his hands at all. On the first day of the resumption of the exercise, the Soviet Air Force directly dropped the three airborne divisions of the red side behind the blue side. Serov originally wanted to use the two in the last fight. The Guard, KGB and Cheka divisions were directly used against these airborne troops.

When the    exercise came here, the entire blue team had been cut off and fell into the encirclement. If this is a real war, the fate of the 350,000 Blue Army may be the same as the Soviet Union's Southwest Front Army became prisoners 40 years ago. Serov may be about to commit suicide and die for the country.

   "Is there no other way?" Little Valya said with relief when she saw the distressed look of the chairman, "You are a policeman yourself, so there is no need to be troubled by the failure of the exercise. That old man in Ustinov is a soldier."

   "It's not that there is no way, but it can't be used." Shelov thought for a while, and there is really no way to do it from normal channels, but from the perspective of the KGB, he can still solve the problem through assassination. Ustinov's red party also has many KGB informants, but as he said, this method cannot be used. With this exercise, he might win, but he might lose his life.

   The result was not unexpected. The Blue Army knelt after three days of persistence. This Western Bayi exercise ended with the victory of the Red side of Marshal Ustinov. The general political commissar with an old face returned to Moscow again, entered Lubyanka with an expression that no one should enter, walked into his office and asked directly, "Where is the India-Pakistan war going? Get the information now. Come up!"

After spitting for a while, Serov answered the phone impatiently as if his face had been burned with an iron, but his eyes still did not leave the latest India-Pakistan battle report, "I said Yura, how about a drink? I've prepared vodka." Marshal Ustinov's loud voice came from the phone.

   "Think about your body, old man, you're in your seventies." After speaking, Serov moved the microphone away from his ear, and it was no surprise that he heard the words "I'm in good health" intermittently. Regarding the issue of good health, there is no one in the entire Soviet Union who has a right to speak. The current world record is 9.9 seconds, and his own record is 8.3 seconds. One day if he does enough of the KGB, he can go to the Olympics and win a gold medal.

While the two old men were demolishing each other, Indian Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw stood outside the city of Karachi. There are still 80,000 Pakistani defenders in this city. As the largest city in Pakistan, once it is conquered, India's victory is basically the same. You can be sure, and with 180,000 Indian soldiers by his side, victory seems to be imminent.

   "The fire will purify all the sins in the world! Take a day off and start the general attack tomorrow." Marshal Sam Manekshaw ordered to the surrounding generals. Although he is the only marshal in India, he is a minority and his faith is Zoroastrian. He is scorned by the pacifists as a descendant of Zoroastrianism.

   Early the next morning, under the guidance of more than 700 tanks, 150,000 Indian troops attacked Karachi, the largest city in Pakistan.
