USSR 1991

"We will definitely do a good job of keeping secrets, Minister Borisov." Dondukov answered him very wittily. In fact, he didn't expect that the first time he stepped into the political building of the Kremlin in person was because of this. thing.

"If you have nothing to do, let's go out first," Borisov said.

Just as Dondukov was about to go out, a heart-warming word from Deputy Minister of Defense Borisov came from behind him. He said softly to Dondukov, "Thank you, Comrade Dondukov. You The hard work of the motherland is in the eyes."

Dondukov turned his head and saw the powerful man standing behind the oak desk, bowing slightly, lowering his noble head in front of an aircraft designer.

"On behalf of the motherland and the people, I thank you for your dedication." Borisov lowered his head, unable to see his expression.

And Dondukov's eyes were wet at this moment.

Chapter 248 Military Project

Even Borisov didn't know why Yanayev ordered him to talk to the designers of these R&D projects in person, or even arrange a touching performance.Is it just to show that the Soviet government cares about these projects and these designers?He didn't think it was necessary at all.

He didn't understand what Yanayev was thinking about, maybe he would never understand what Yanayev was thinking.Because Borisov has never met those Soviet scientists who conducted scientific research experiments in the worst environment, and he has never met those scientific researchers who still have not given up the Soviet military weapons research and development project with a meager salary.

They took huge risks without any great rewards, but they never complained about their work.Because they are the unyielding backbone of this country, carrying the glorious dream of a red empire.

And that bow is to tell these people that from now on, the motherland will not let you down.

Yanayev is not a high-ranking bureaucrat. He is well aware of the important role the people play in a country.Without the support of the people of the entire Soviet Union, the entire regime would cease to exist—even at the most dangerous moment in 1991, the vast majority of people stood up against the division of the country.They are not comprehensible to those who try to embezzle national property in the name of democracy.

Including the T80U tentative improvement plan developed at the same time and the T72 modification plan, because in the Gulf War, the monkey version of the T72 tank left the impression that the Soviet-made tanks could not penetrate the American main battle tanks to Western countries. .In fact, it is largely because the United States adopted depleted uranium armor, so Yanayev allowed the continuation of the Soviet Union's tank development plan to process and add points. They urgently needed to find a way to deal with the M1A1 main battle tank.

Fortunately, in this Grozny War, the cooperation of tanks and attack aircraft prevented Soviet tanks from suffering too much damage in urban warfare, and did not leave the world with the view that Soviet tanks were fragile. After the RPG, the incidents of T80 tank explosions emerged endlessly.

At the time, Russian Defense Minister Paul Grachev believed that the rout in Chechnya should be attributed to tank design problems, trying to divert the attention of society from the real reasons for the defeat, such as insufficient training of combat troops and lack of thorough operations. On February 1995, 2, Lieutenant General A. Gorkin of the Armored Forces General Command of the Russian Army published the findings on the destroyed armored vehicles, successfully persuading the Ministry of Defense not to purchase any gas turbine tanks.

Now Yanayev's condition is that the development of T80 and T72 must continue, and a certain balance between the two should be found, that is, a tank between T80 and T72 will be developed. .And Yanayev pointed out that the defense capability of the tank is also the top priority. Even if the Soviet Union cannot reproduce the depleted uranium armor, at least it must find weapons that can restrain the depleted uranium armor.

Similarly, the Akula-class nuclear submarine was the last attack nuclear submarine developed before the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Yanayev also devoted a lot of energy to this plan. Although the construction of nuclear submarines was slowed down due to economic difficulties, Yanayev Fu said that the Soviet submarine fleet must maintain a certain combat effectiveness.In other words, Yanayev gradually shifted the balance between the army and navy.Under the influence of Yanayev, the Soviet Union's current army development thinking has changed from a torrent of steel pushing Europe flat, to an army that must be able to defend the current homeland defense line.

In other words, this is also the result of the Soviet Union being forced to compress its strategic defense line for economic reasons.Now the US-Soviet struggle for hegemony has turned into a temporary lead for the US, and the Soviet Union and other countries have united against national hegemony.However, this relationship of competition and cooperation has made the world situation a little unclear.

In April this year, the Kamov Design Bureau announced a new type of armed helicopter. In the meantime, the design bureau came to a conclusion after the end of the Soviet-Afghan war. Future helicopters must automatically fly at low altitudes, capture targets, and launch weapons. , navigation and other mechanical actions; the driver does not need to be too involved in these operations and only needs to spend his energy on the research and judgment of the task content.

When releasing a new type of helicopter, the Soviet Union once considered deceiving NATO countries. Because the single-seat design is very advanced, the first two of the Ka-50 helicopters actually developed fake two-way glass covers. Intelligence also confirmed that Reports from Western countries came into effect, and many NATO countries were deceived.

The Soviet Aviation Annals states that the US Department of Defense stated that the helicopter did not have an anti-tank design.It is mainly used for air-to-air combat.At the same time, the Ka 50 helicopter, like other armed helicopters, has two tandem crew members, and No.2 has a slightly higher seat at the rear.

Yanayev is naturally interested in this new type of armed helicopter, if it is an armed helicopter that can do all the work with one pilot, but the single-seat helicopter technology of the Kamov Design Bureau is not mature enough, so Yanayev gave The Kamov Design Bureau issued an order to continue to deepen the development of the operating system of the Kamov single-seat helicopter to reduce the workload of the driver.

Now Kamov has entered the full-scale production stage. When the Soviet Union slashed military expenditures, Kamov just reduced the number of constructions, and because of the change in the status of the Military Industry Committee, the Kamov Design Bureau boldly presented its own design. , hoping to get strong support from the Soviet military.

Considering the unstable development prospects of single-seat helicopters and the operational problems of the Ka-50, Yanayev did not rush to agree to this design even though he liked this helicopter. On the other hand, the Soviet military does not want to adopt it for the time being, and hopes that the Kamov Design Bureau can improve a more complete armed helicopter to meet the needs of the Soviet army.

After reading these documents, Yanayev signed his name on them. This is a bold attempt by the Soviet military industry, which means that those projects that were originally to be disbanded can continue.Not even Yanayev himself knows how these weapons will affect future timelines.

When Borisov asked Yanayev why he suddenly made the decision to elevate the military industrial committee, he replied, "What I can do now is to support the army as much as possible in terms of equipment. The Soviet army fought wars. There must be weapons, and I don't want our soldiers to fight barbaric enemies with outdated weapons."

"They are the great Red Army soldiers of the Republic, not the gray beasts of Tsarist Russia."

Chapter 249 Gaddafi who made fun of the crowd

Since Gaddafi made a plan to abandon the development of nuclear weapons, his son began to match up with MI[-]. He expressed that Gaddafi was willing to give up some important interests in order to gain the "understanding" of the Western world.MI[-] is naturally very happy with the "correct decision" made by the supreme leader of Libya, and they don't want a bomb left in the Mediterranean that may detonate at any time.

The Soviet Union and the United States reached a verbal agreement before. If the United States really wanted to sanction Libya, the Soviet Union chose to stand by.Because Yanayev has seen that Gaddafi, a Mediterranean mad dog, has gradually lost control.When the Soviet Union completes the last arms transaction order on it, it can kick him away.

A Libya that is destroyed by the West and internal forces is more beneficial to the Soviet Union than a Libya that completely surrenders to the West.For this reason, the Soviet Union also sold out Libya's interests.Only Gaddafi thought he could win relations with the West and win a loose external political environment for economic development.

Gaddafi's second son Saif once claimed that he brought peace to Libya, and that if he gave up nuclear weapons, he would get the understanding of the West.But the dying father and son didn't know that they were pushing Libya into an abyss, an irreversible abyss.Especially when Saif got information about Soviet chemical weapons from the Iraqi military, he knew that the opportunity had come for his father to curry favor with the West.

"You mean to report to the British Intelligence Agency that the Soviet Union violated the "Chemical Weapons Destruction Treaty" and sold weapons of mass destruction to Iraq?" After listening to Saif's story, Gaddafi was somewhat dissatisfied with his son's plan. rest assured.

In his opinion, this plan was as deadly as if he was going to kick a fierce dragon in the ass.

"Instead of sharing this information with the British Intelligence Agency, we told this information in front of the Soviet representatives at the United Nations General Assembly." Saif said triumphantly. What about the consequences.Even a declining polar bear can slap Libya to death with a giant claw.

"Say it at the United Nations General Assembly? You are crazy, Saif, this is declaring war on Moscow!" Hearing Saif's answer, Gaddafi was taken aback, although he loved his son very much and called him Libyan think tank.But he absolutely dare not do such a deadly act.

"And there is still a huge arms trade order between us and the Soviet Union. If you do this, it is equivalent to cutting off our arms purchase path. Saif, I will absolutely not allow you to mess around in this matter."

However, Saif did not care about his father's shock. He raised the photo file in his hand and explained to Gaddafi, "Don't worry, my father. It is just a way for us to send this information to the UN General Assembly." It's just a 'gift' to the West, since we want them to believe that we have really chosen to join the West, then naturally we need to come up with some gifts of sufficient weight, and I think the Western world should be very willing to accept these gifts."

Saif threw the photo in front of Gaddafi. In the photo, Iraqi soldiers were carefully moving the gas bombs, and the Russian text on them was clearly visible.And he also has a copy of the instruction manual in Russian, which was provided by high-level Iraqi military officers.

After listening to Saif's explanation, Gaddafi's originally excited expression gradually calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, what his son said was not unreasonable. Anyway, the decline of the Soviet Union and the rise of the United States are already facts. There is no need to continue struggling with a rotten dead tree.

"As for the arms trade, we don't have to worry about it at all. Doing business with the Soviet Union or the West is the same, there is no difference. If we have money, we can't buy any arms. Although the Soviet Union will sever ties with us, there are Western allies, are we still worried that we can’t find arms to buy?”

"What's more, look at the munitions sold to us by the Soviet Union. How badly did they perform in the Gulf War? The gap between the T72 tank and the American M1A1 tank, and the event that the MiG fighter jet was shot down by the joint army missile made people realize It is nothing more than a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, and we have signed a multi-million arms deal with a country that produces scrap copper and rotten iron, which is simply absurd.” Saif dismissed the Soviet Union’s weapons as worthless , I just wanted to try my best to explain in front of his father that there are many benefits to cooperating with the West.

Saif obviously thought too naively. Before the negotiations on the western side came to an end, he hurriedly prepared to dissociate himself from the Soviet Union, or even turn against the Soviet Union.He didn't think about it carefully, as a pawn in the game between two big countries, once he lost the value of using it, the final result would only be a discarded pawn.

What kind of son there is what kind of father, Gaddafi dared to accuse China with a Chinese nuclear facility manual at the United Nations, and today he dared to accuse the Soviet Union of violating the United Nations with a Russian poison gas bomb manual at the UN General Assembly. agreement.Anyway, what Gaddafi did is beyond ordinary people's comprehension. If he insisted on going to provoke Wuchang to die, wouldn't it be good to live?

"Yes, we must show enough affinity when negotiating with the West, Saif, your opinion is very reasonable." Gaddafi pondered for a while, he does not want to completely deliver the nuclear technology and nuclear facilities, because He is still torn between giving up nuclear weapons altogether.So Gaddafi wants to increase his bargaining chip in other aspects to delay time.

"Otherwise, let's do this. On the day when the "Chemical Weapons Destruction Treaty" comes into effect, we will reveal this matter at the General Assembly, so that the United States should believe that we are indeed on the side of the West." Said Yi The husband proposed this trick that harms others and benefits himself. This is simply slapping the Soviet Union in the face.

In the end, Gaddafi agreed to the bad idea that his doting son said, and planned to cheat the Soviet Union severely at the next UN General Assembly, so that the representatives of the Soviet Union would make a fool of themselves in front of representatives of all countries.In this way, Britain and the United States should always believe that Libya is really ready to cooperate with the West.

But how could the father and son who ruled Libya think that there are always shady and dirty activities behind the five gangsters.And these things are beyond your control as Gaddafi.

Chapter 2 Fifty Embarrassments at the United Nations Conference

The General Assembly of the United Nations generally holds regular sessions from September to December every year, and then meets as needed.And after the Secretary-General receives a request from more than half of the Security Council or the United Nations member states to convene a special meeting, or receives a notice that more than half of the member states agree to the meeting, he can call a special meeting within 9 days.

Of course, the convening of this special UN meeting is about the follow-up issues after the signing of the "Convention on the Destruction of Chemical Weapons". Under the secret operation of the five permanent members of the UN, this time the convention is more cautious than any previous one. many.Because the permanent members are prepared to make this treaty not applicable to their own countries under certain special circumstances, in other words, the five permanent members have special immunity to the chemical treaty.

Suppose there is an ambiguity between which country and the permanent members of the United Nations?Sorry, do you know South Africa?It has been almost 23 years since this country was suspended from the UN General Assembly last time it thought about getting nuclear weapons.No one can deny the supremacy of the permanent members of the United Nations, because those who deny it will disappear in the end.

Of course, at the beginning of the meeting, representatives from each country came to the stage to make remarks about the treaty on the destruction of chemical weapons. In fact, everyone knows that this is just a process, and those political conspirators at the negotiating table have already divided themselves cake.A small country can't intervene, and there is no way to oppose it.

The representative sent by the United States is Secretary of State Warren, who represents the image of the US government in diplomacy.The representative of the Soviet Union was Foreign Minister Shevardnadze, who represented the will of Moscow.They are more aware that the top leaders of the two countries have reached a consensus, which is the most important thing.The conference is just a superficial form, and only the transactions behind the five hooligans are the real mastery.

The table at the UN General Assembly is already full of representatives from various countries, and they are all waiting for the US side to speak first.Some representatives were whispering at the table, with unconcealable disappointment on their faces. They must have been victims of the treaty this time, but they were also resentful of the speculative political deals between the United States and the Soviet Union.Why can you only act recklessly and not allow us to defend ourselves with weapons.

Warren walked up to the stage steadily and took out the manuscript he had prepared for a long time.This was originally a speech with no technical content, so he also seemed to be talking about the manuscript on the manuscript a little casually.

"I am very grateful that I can stand here and make my own contribution to the destruction of chemical weapons. Since the advent of chemical weapons, it has caused countless casualties. From Germany to Japan, fascists created terrible weapons of murder. He has also been punished with justice."

"Here today, we will work together to destroy those chemical weapons that endanger human safety and threaten the living environment. So far, the United States has declared and assured the world that we will strictly destroy the chemical weapons in our stockpile according to the plan. Absolutely not It will bring back the horrors of World War I."

At this point, Warren changed the subject and began to whitewash and justify that the United States did not completely destroy chemical weapons. "Of course, as a responsible country, the United States is excusable for being cautious about chemical weapons. We have accumulated a lot of The approval of chemical weapons is not because we want to use them. It is through it to better study the damage caused by chemical weapons and come up with corresponding antidotes. Not as everyone imagines, the United States is a hegemony A country where everything they do is for themselves and whatnot. Free America loves peace and goodness."

The United States began to claim to be a messenger of justice and kindness, and it almost made Saddam cry in the toilet. Have you ever seen a guy who claims to be just and equal so viciously?
