Moscow, this March is very cold.
The shooting down of Korean Air’s passenger plane is being widely publicized by the West, which has a very negative impact on the Soviet Union’s diplomacy. After all, the Soviet Union’s international reputation was originally not good, but now it dares to The civilian airliner was shot down, causing hundreds of deaths.
Now, in South Korea, there are parades almost every day, wandering around the Soviet embassy, and even throwing rotten eggs. In this regard, the guards of the Soviet embassy also took out their guns, as long as they dared to cross a step, Just shoot them.
Fortunately, nothing more extraordinary happened.
And in Moscow, it is also a country where people who have died constantly come to demand compensation, and the diplomatic department is very busy. Under such circumstances, the high level of the Soviets also had to calm down.
Ustinov was very annoyed. In this world, it depends on whose fists are hard, and it's useless to say anything to them. You have to look at your own fists!
Whether that passenger plane is a passenger plane or a reconnaissance plane is no longer important. Now, more important things await them.
"An American Tomcat fighter flew over our Sakhalin Island and shot down five of our planes by the way. I want to know what the Air Defense Air Force of the Far East is doing?"
Of course Ustinov was very angry. When this report was put on his side, he was already outraged, and it was a shame to the Soviets!
The opponent had only one, but his own was shot down by five, and even let the opponent run away. Although the matter did not deteriorate further, the result of this battle was a slap in the face.
"It's mainly our fighters, which are all third-generation fighters. Before our fourth-generation fighters entered service, there was a generation gap between us and the American fighters," said the commander of the Homeland Defense Air Force.
The Soviet Union also divided generations of fighters, but the Soviet Union's division was different from that of the United States. The planned T10 series belonged to the fourth generation.
How can you win if you leapfrog? Now, the Soviets are making continuous progress in electronic technology, but the gap with the Americans is still very large.
"Don't mention the issue of equipment. We must base ourselves on the existing equipment. If the entire Sakhalin defender cannot handle even a Tomcat, how will our seizing the island be carried out?"
This world is different from the history of later generations. In order to create a good posture for the Far East and for the Pacific Fleet to obtain a good port, the General Secretary and the Politburo have approved the island seizure operation.
The army has been preparing for at least half a year, stationing troops on Sakhalin Island, dispatching naval vessels from other military regions to the Pacific Fleet, and so on.
The downing of Korean Air’s passenger plane was essentially because of keeping a secret. Once the tank division above was discovered by the Americans, he would definitely be suspicious.
In order to keep the secret, even at the risk of the world, even the passenger plane was shot down. Who would have thought that it would be patronized by a Tomcat fighter plane.
Does that need to be said? Your own tank division has been exposed.
Now that it has been exposed, what shall we do next? There was confusion in Ustinov's mind.
Can't you do it yet
"We need to continue to mobilize air power from Primorye Territory." The commander of the Homeland Defense Air Force continued: "Now, the only one who can restrain the Americans is the MiG-25. We need to transfer the MiG-25 troops over. Unable to seize air supremacy, then our ground actions are very dangerous."
The current air power is not enough. If there was a MiG-25 on Sakhalin Island, it would not be so passive. The Tomcat fighter plane is really terrifying, and its performance is simply invincible!
Although the MiG-25 is no longer so mysterious because of Belenko’s defection, it is still a fighter that can fly to three times the speed of sound, and it is still the most effective weapon in the hands of the Homeland Air Defense.
What else? The MiG-23 is not powerful!
"Well, mobilize the MiG-25 troops." Ustinov said: "However, after their investigation this time, they must be prepared!"
Ustinov was upset by this. The Americans discovered that they had deployed a large number of troops on Sakhalin Island. They must be defensive. What should we do next? Do you still fight
If you want to fight, you can only fight as soon as possible. They are caught off guard, so that they have no time to arrange, or they can only give up. A Far Eastern war that oneself made up so much is about to come to an end. It has not started, it is over Up.
No, of course not! It must be fought, especially today. The American Tomcat fighter enters its own airspace and leaves arrogantly. This is an excuse, a good excuse!
revenge! Five planes were shot down and several pilots were killed. The Americans had the guts to start a war on their own initiative. So what are they afraid of
"Report, the Meteorological Department has received news that there will be persistent heavy fog in Kushiro in recent days.
At this moment, Ustinov also got the same information.
Constant fog? That's great news!
A light flashed in Ustinov's eyes: "Then we will start from Kushiro!"
There are many preplans for the capture of the island, and starting from Kushiro is one of them. Although bold, although it sounds weird, it is the most effective one.
Now that Kushiro is in heavy fog, start from Kushiro, hurry up, the army has already been killed before the Americans can react!
Ustinov made the decision, and the huge Soviet war machine started to move.
Triggered the third world war? Ustinov didn't think so much. The core of the island capture operation was a quick decision. Before the Americans could react, they would take Hokkaido and create established facts, and then sit down and negotiate.
The island country, it was a defeated country in World War II. According to the rules of dividing and occupying the defeated country, the Soviets should have stationed troops on the island country. Unfortunately, they focused on Western Europe at the time. In addition, the Far East had too few troops to be impossible. Crossing the sea to occupy the island country allowed the Americans to take advantage.
Now, the Soviets are only taking back their share, which is not excessive.
Sokolovka.
Andrei returned to his base, only to realize that he had been appointed commander of the base, and the rejuvenation of his eyes also made many pilots happy for this.
After intensive preparation, Andre can finally re-pilot his fighter plane, soaring in the blue sky. The MiG-25, like a shooting star, shines in the sky. Before a new fighter plane is born, it is still the most powerful. Fighter.
And now, after receiving orders from superiors, the entire 513 regiment began to quickly transition to Sakhalin Island. Andrei knew that this transition indicated that a fierce war was about to begin. (End of this chapter)
