The military operations in Hokkaido are only a few hours away.
Moscow, the Kremlin.
"President Amin, do you think the Soviets are as easy to hold as the Americans? The embassy hostages were held for several months, and the president did not dare to order them. As a result, the people below were dispatched in the name of Vietnam War veterans to rescue the hostages ?"
In the entire conference room, there was only Ustinov's rant, he had had enough.
Ustinov was angry.
When they heard it for the first time, they thought it was a joke. Today is not April Fool's Day!
The President of Afghanistan, Amin, actually shot one of his diplomats directly. What qualifications does he have? Later, he felt inappropriate and wanted to kill people, so he found a big truck, filled it with explosives, and blew up the embassy!
It's that simple, so clear, should I say it? That Amin was challenging the authority of the Soviets. If this continues, anyone can use the same means to deal with the Soviet Union!
The Soviet Union will never compromise, and the Soviet Union will not give in!
"We don't have to protest. To such a president, our protest is useless. We can only use the guns and cannons in our hands to let that Amin know that if we openly challenge international standards, there is only one end!" Ustinov Said coldly, at this time, he had completely made up his mind.
"General Secretary, let's do it, immediately rush into the Afghan capital, drag the Amin out and shoot him! It's like he shot our diplomat." Ustinov said to General Secretary Brezhnev.
Brezhnev is already old, and for many times he could not participate in various meetings, but he still came today, this time it is of great importance.
Just before the start of the Hokkaido War, he was here, originally listening to the good news from Hokkaido, but who would have thought that he received such surprising news that Afghanistan, President Amin, dare to speak out. Challenge the authority of the Soviets.
Brezhnev didn't speak. In many cases, he didn't speak much. It is precisely because of this that he can sit down all the time. He has always been a good person.
"However, if we act on Afghanistan, it will delay our operations in Hokkaido. We are not prepared to fight two wars at the same time."
The problem now is obvious. It is because Afghanistan has seen the escalation of its conflict in Hokkaido, so that it has no fear. And if it wants to actually take action against Afghanistan, what will Hokkaido do
"It won't take long for us to clean up a small Afghanistan." Ustinov said: "Up to three days, we will be able to control Afghanistan, and the people who support us will come to power and govern Afghanistan. At that time, we will continue in Hokkaido. It’s not too late to start a war. On the contrary, the Americans will think that we are going to fight the war in Afghanistan and will give up the defense in Hokkaido, which is more beneficial to us."
Ustinov’s words are also reasonable. After all, although the Soviet Union is strong, it never thought of fighting two wars at the same time. It was just a border conflict and there was no need to mobilize the whole country.
In Ustinov’s eyes, Afghanistan is too small to waste much time. At the same time, due to the deterioration of the situation in Afghanistan recently, the Soviet Central Asian Military District has also been ready to start war in Afghanistan. Preparations. Not long ago, Commander-in-Chief of the Army Pavlovsky and others went to Afghanistan to conduct field surveys and sent troops to Afghanistan in the name of aid to control strategic locations such as Mazar-i-Sharif, Baghlan, and Herat; At the same time, the light weapons of the Afghan government were sealed in the name of weapons inspection, and heavy equipment was dismantled to make them lose the ability to cope with sudden changes. Subsequently, the Soviet army established a forward command in Termez on the Soviet-African border.
Now, it's a matter of one sentence. If you say you do it, you can do it immediately. That Amin really thinks he has a conflict in Hokkaido, so he doesn't dare to fight in Afghanistan? Too mentally retarded.
Andropov did not speak.
Andropov has no experience in the military, nor does he have much commanding power over the military. He just feels that doing so would be inconsistent with Andrei's proposal.
Andrei was impassioned in the conference room last time and persuaded Ustinov to first send troops to Hokkaido, leaving the issue of Afghanistan alone. Now, Andrei has returned to the Far Eastern Military Region and is ready to take part in the battle on the front line. , But his side suddenly changed the goal.
Andrea is too young, and his suggestion can be adopted or rejected.
Andropov did not object.
"At most for a week, we will occupy the entire territory of Afghanistan and plant a puppet regime, and then we will go to Hokkaido. It is not too late. In this week, those murderers who killed our workers may have already gone to the island nation of Honshu. , Went to Tokyo.” On the side, Chernenko also agreed with Ustinov's opinion. This guy, who is older than Brezhnev, now speaks.
Brezhnev nodded: "Then send out, while Amin is not prepared, one week, solve the problem in Afghanistan, and at the same time, order our Hokkaido army to suspend the offensive, etc., if we go to war at the same time, May I?"
Brezhnev was also thinking about playing their own roles. Anyway, there are two directions that do not affect each other.
Hearing what he said, Ustinov frowned: "In this case, I am afraid we are going to mobilize for a war. After all, our standing forces are not enough. If we go to war in two directions, we must leave enough preparations. The team will do."
Ustinov was right.
The Soviet standing force is only more than one million. The main army is assembled in Western Europe. This is the most fierce confrontation in the Cold War. Many ace divisions are deployed here.
For Hokkaido, they have mobilized a part of the army and secretly entered Hokkaido, preparing to launch an attack.
To deal with Afghanistan, the Central Asian Military Region has drew a part.
In this way, in Western Europe, the troops are already insufficient, and the second-line reserve team has been drawn away. If the fight starts in two directions at the same time, what if the West suddenly comes over from Europe
The only thing that one can do is to recruit, and if there is enough reserve team, then it will not worry about it, and it can't make the mistakes of World War II.
During World War II, all the troops were eaten at the beginning of the war. As a result, the German army, their rear, was empty like a piece of paper, which was broken with a poke.
However, if there is a conscription, it will bring a terrible chain reaction. The West will think that it is a precursor to a big battle, and maybe it will stimulate them to do it in advance, which will completely turn the cold war into a hot war.
"Then do it in Afghanistan first." Brezhnev agreed. (End of this chapter)
