Big Time 1958

  This missile is the next-generation replacement for the Soviet Granite anti-ship missile, but it didn't go well. Historically, the success rate was only 50% until the experiment was discontinued in 1986. Although the theoretical data absolutely hangs everything, the huge unreliability is enough to make people scratch their heads.

  The Soviet Union established an independent system and the United States was tit-for-tat, which indeed made Soviet scientists unknowingly whiten their hair. The theoretical success rate is only half, and in actual combat, I still don’t know what percentage to reduce to.

   But as long as the research is not interrupted, Serov believes that there is always hope. Anti-ship missiles are not necessarily completely unable to fight against carrier-based aircraft, and there is no absolute thing in the world. The Kirov-class battlecruisers will be equipped with the next generation of anti-ship missiles in the future to undertake the task of confronting the new generation of aircraft carrier battle groups in the United States.

   Marshal Ustinov, now focusing on the next generation of Soviet military weapons. Including the new generation of equipment of the space and land, sea and air forces, and as far as Shelov knows, the weapons developed by the Soviet Union have almost all died prematurely. Including the Army's new generation of tanks to replace the T80 tank, the Red Navy's new generation of anti-ship missiles, and the Air Force's new generation of fighter jets. It can only exist in the imagination of later generations of military fans. Unlike another looming Nazi black technology in later generations, almost all of the black technology in the Soviet Union produced experimental weapons, not just on drawings.

   The general political commissar is of course a military blind, but who said that military blindness can be curious. He wanted to see the Ulyanovsk sailing above the sea and see thousands of kilometers of anti-ship missiles in service. See the Soviet stealth fighter jets, not the dummies that Russia barely managed to come up with.

  Unfortunately, his rebirth brought no benefits, and there was nothing to help Soviet weapons specialists in this matter. It can only provide some spiritual power. I hope that Soviet scientists will suddenly open their minds and overcome related technical difficulties.

   This possibility is almost equal to none! So Shelov can only do one thing well, pay for it, and give weapons experts a good research environment, express the importance the party and the country attach to the defense industry, and there is nothing left.

   The weather in London this month is definitely not good, but the arrival of US President Ronald Reagan still gives the whole UK a boost. To be honest, the continuous decline of the United Kingdom has caused the Labour Party to bear the blame. It is a complete sin. The United Kingdom has lost its colonies around the world, and it cannot support the continued existence of the Grand Fleet with its local strength. Even if the Conservatives remain in power, they cannot contain Britain's decline.

  Every Briton never imagined that even Argentina would not be able to win because the UK was already in decline. At this time, it is not advisable to put the blame on the previous government. As the initiator of the war, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was under enormous pressure.

   The direct responsibility for any war is the current government, and this is the dilemma facing Mrs Thatcher. And at this difficult time, US President Ronald Reagan appeared by Mrs Thatcher's side at the right time.

  The arrival of Reagan gave Margaret Thatcher great spiritual strength. In the live interview with all the British, Reagan looked serious and firmly stated that the United States would stand with the United Kingdom, emphasizing the importance of the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States. He also accused Argentina of launching a war, and the news spread all over the world. Latin American countries expressed dissatisfaction one after another, believing that the United States betrayed its own attributes and stood with European countries.

  The Latin American countries have forgotten that all of these countries cannot be compared with the entire Western European countries. Even if they are allies, they must be divided into three, six and nine. Argentina considers itself an ally of the United States, while the United Kingdom is an ally of the United States. By this time, the protest march in Argentina had done nothing but shattered a few pieces of glass at the US embassy.

   At the same time as Reagan visited the UK, the British Expeditionary Force, with the support of the US Navy and Air Force, carried out the final stage of the Falklands War and landed on the Falklands. Of course, at the same time in the onlookers of the Soviet Red Navy. Since the sinking of the British aircraft carrier, while the US fleet has disengaged and entered a safe distance, it has also increased its naval power in the waters off the Falklands.

   In all fairness, it is not at all impossible or basically impossible for the Soviet Red Navy to casually use anti-ship missiles to penetrate the US prevention and control network and replicate the results of the British task force. This is likely to happen unless Moscow orders the Red Navy to fight a deadly war.

   In order to defeat the Soviet Union, Reagan traveled thousands of miles to London to help the current British government through difficulties. What the Labour government is like, the United States knows nothing but the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, which has nothing to do with the United Kingdom. At this time, Reagan wanted to gather strength in the world to defeat the Soviet Union, and that would certainly not bring the Labour Party back to power.

   This requires not only the strength of the United States as a country, but also international strength. Relying on the United States alone, Reagan was really afraid that the United States was not strong enough. If the Soviet Union was not enough to pose a threat to the United States, he still pursued his own ideas in such a hurry. It was precisely because the Soviet Union was strong that Reagan formulated an anti-Soviet policy. , Otherwise, he is afraid that there will be no chance in the future.

  Reagan brought great sincerity this time, especially when Margaret Thatcher was in a difficult time. Of course, this is definitely not for nothing. The special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States cannot provide free assistance, and the United States does not have free genes. In this regard, the United States and the United Kingdom are in the same line, even if they are brothers and sisters.

   A broad united front against the Soviet Union is something Reagan has long been brewing in his heart. Just this time the United Kingdom is in difficulty, Reagan can more easily achieve his goals, which is why Reagan is willing to come to be an angel in person.

10 Downing Street, Reagan and Margaret Thatcher had a private meeting. This kind of secret meeting is very easy to think of something like the Munich conspiracy. Czechoslovakia, but another superpower, the Soviet Union, which put a lot of pressure on Western Europe.

   "A broad alliance of the free world, strengthening the ties of the free world, and jointly dealing with the Soviet Union are urgent things to do now!" The mother tongue of both the United States and the United Kingdom is English, and the communication between Reagan and Margaret Thatcher is basically barrier-free. Reagan's reforms have been implemented, the most dangerous time has passed, and now he is beginning to set his sights on the real opponent, the Soviet Union.

   Of course, the reforms in the United States are far from successful. It would be better if other countries could sacrifice their own interests to ensure the prosperity of the United States. Reagan is not in a hurry now. He still needs a year to see the domestic effect. If the effect of the reform is not good, then he will choose a fat sheep to kill. Is it Japan? Or the Federal Republic of Germany? Or kill both countries? Isn't the US supporting these two countries just to do so one day?

"Britain should regain its international influence. Of course, I am very supportive of President Reagan's idea!" Mrs Thatcher thought about it and said that if the United Kingdom cannot win the Falklands War, it will be the destruction of national self-confidence It is impossible to support the US policy in this case, so the immediate problem is still to win the Falklands War.

Of course Mrs Thatcher was bargaining. Rather than being a scumbag, the UK was not targeting anyone, but looked at the world and said that all countries were garbage. Now that she knew Reagan's purpose, she had to ask Reagan to come up with a quid pro quo. Guaranteeing the interests of the United Kingdom has nothing to do with the private education of the two, it is purely a negotiation between countries.

   What's more, the personal relationship between the two is like this. After a short period of contact, excluding the intimate part of the outside world, Reagan and Mrs Thatcher both believed that the other party was not a good person to contact.

"With the help of the United States, the United Kingdom can certainly win this war. This is also a good opportunity to show the unity of NATO." pressure.

   On the night of Reagan's visit to England, British troops landed on a beach in the waters of St. Carus, on the north coast of East Falkland. A total of about 4,000 men from the 3rd Marine Brigade and the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the Parachute Regiment disembarked from the landing craft; they succeeded in establishing a secure beachhead the following day. Brigadier General Thomson planned to occupy Darwin and Goose Green first, followed by Port Stanley.

  The British 2nd Parachute Battalion of about 500 men approached and attacked Darwin and Goose Green, which were defended by the Argentine 12th Infantry. Fierce fighting continued from the night to the next day, and in the end the British lost seventeen soldiers, the Argentine lost fifty-five soldiers, and another thousand and fifty were taken prisoner.

"Argentina is also called the Army? What is the battle loss ratio? If something like this happens in the Red Army, the commander can be killed on the spot, and the charge is the imperialist spy." Defense Minister Marshal Ustinov felt that he The Falklands War must be re-evaluated. Who are the two countries looking at?

"Huh? Hmm!" Shelov replied vaguely absent-mindedly. He wanted to know what the **** Reagan and Mrs Thatcher discussed. He always felt that this matter had something to do with the Soviet Union, and it was definitely not a matter of furthering the special relationship between the United States and the United States. something else.

  But the private meeting between the two, he really couldn't get the news. As an intelligence director, this kind of knowing that the other party's secret meeting was aimed at him, but couldn't know the specific mood, made Shelov very uncomfortable.

   In 1982 and 1983, what happened in the United States and Britain? The spy chief unfolded his imagination. Considering that the United States unswervingly supports the United Kingdom like European countries, a report on Reagan in a British newspaper made him clear his doubts, and squinted his eyes and said, "International Democratic Alliance?"
