Chapter 343 Let them beg us

Almost every Soviet disembarking was embraced by the Cuban people.●⌒, the Bucharest was welcomed by tens of thousands of Cuban people waiting at the port. It is not an exaggeration to describe this kind of scenery as crowded. It can only be seen on the May Day parade every year.

Under the night, the shadows on the calm water became larger and larger, until ripples suddenly appeared in the calm sea. This was an underwater submarine formation. These Soviet Red Navy soldiers spent two days breaking through the most dangerous diving areas in Europe. The area including the Baltic Sea and the North Sea had historically trapped the world's second-largest German Ocean Fleet. The ocean fleet that forced the Second Empire became an existence fleet. The Germans blocked in the port could only rely on submarines to fight in the two world wars.

Technology advances have made submarines bigger and bigger, but it is still unwise to fight face-to-face with surface forces. Especially now that nuclear submarines are just starting, concealment is the biggest advantage of submarines, and they are not obliged to complete the work of surface fleets.

This conventional submarine formation charged on the water is using precious time to make its power operate. The task of this formation is not to break through the US Navy's blockade line. The n-class nuclear submarine formation that set out earlier than them is the formation that breaks through the blockade line. Nuclear submarines have power to play hide-and-seek with the enemy, but conventional submarines cannot.

In the history of the Cuban missile crisis, conventional submarines were the main force of the Soviet Union's breakthrough blockade belt, but the characteristic of conventional submarines that had to be floating and charged made the Soviet Union passive. Soviet submarines could get rid of the US Navy's fleet, but they were often quickly discovered when charging, and eventually they became less and less powerful and were blocked under the Caribbean Sea.

With the existing strength, Selov could only make fine adjustments to avoid mistakes that should have occurred to fight for less passive consequences. He could not allow Soviet soldiers to persist in the high temperature environment of fifty or sixty degrees in the submarine. Selov had no doubt about the willpower of Soviet soldiers, but it would be better not to do this without willpower.

"The Bucharest broke through the US Navy's blockade and has arrived at the Cuban port. If we want the comrades on the Bucharest to learn from, they are our role models!"

"The news from the National Security Council shows that the US Navy's blockade belt is 500 nautical miles of the waters around Cuba. It doesn't matter. Our mission is to reach the launch site instead of breaking through the blockade line. Our SSN4 missiles can be launched from a thousand nautical miles away. This problem cannot be hindered by us..."

“Most of the naval power in the United States is around the Caribbean Sea, and that’s our opportunity, comrades!”

After charging, the conventional Soviet submarine formation that entered the Atlantic Ocean dived, and the sea area returned to peace.

At the same time, Selov, who had arrived in Tashkent, held a KGB meeting at the Uzbek KGB headquarters. The two border guard commanders and the KGB presidents of five republics participated. Selov, dressed in military uniforms and a large-brimmed hat, looked frosty. He had just arrived from Moscow and had not yet rested. After all, all departments in Moscow were planning the Cuban missile crisis.

Before boarding the plane, Selov also attended the meeting of the Ministry of National Defense and attended the military meeting of the Soviet armed forces as the commander of the Nei Guard. In addition to the two units of the National Security Council, the Ministry of National Defense commanded the Soviet Red Army in a narrow sense, including the Soviet Navy, Army and Air and Land Defense Forces, Strategic Rocket Forces and Airborne Forces, Engineer Forces, etc. Whether it is the Ministry of National Defense or the KGB, they are all part of the Soviet armed forces.

The commander of the inner guard, Serov, and the commander of the border defense army, General Zeryanov, attended the military meeting of the Ministry of National Defense, as commanders of the two troops under the KGB, but the two just went to listen. The two KGB troops, the Ministry of National Defense, had no right to command, and their command was in the hands of the KGB. Participating in the meeting only showed that the two troops were also part of the Soviet armed forces. In the general direction, they cooperated with the actions of the Ministry of National Defense.

If the situation worsens, the entire Soviet armed forces will improve their combat readiness. Just before he leaves Moscow, all the first deputy ministers of the Ministry of Defense, including Soviet Defense Minister Marshal Malinovsky, Warsaw Pact Commander-in-Chief Marshal Grechko, and unanimously agreed that if the United States raises its combat readiness level, the Soviet Union must directly raise its combat readiness to respond.

The Ministry of National Defense has drafted a first-level combat readiness order, "Enter the mobilization of combat readiness for the pre-war; the combat readiness duty personnel are on duty day and night; the radio command network listens at full time to ensure uninterrupted command; use various reconnaissance means to closely monitor the enemy's movements; carry out emergency expansion, the combat readiness reserve team and the military region's combat readiness duty troops, and the required equipment is fully staffed according to the wartime, and the required equipment is given priority according to the supplementary capacity; complete position allocation; implement various support; evacuation of troops, weapons, and equipment is hidden and disguised; left-behind institutions organize personnel to evacuate to the designated areas; improve the action plan, complete all preparations for the presidium, and the troops are on standby; stop all vacations, stop all demobilizations and retired personnel." The telegram was drafted and left-offs were left-handed and delivered to the Central Presidium when the situation deteriorates and handed over to the First Secretary Khrushchev for approval.

Long before the meeting, Marshal Grechko, Commander-in-Chief of Warsaw Pact, had already ordered the four major clusters of Eastern Europe to prepare for combat. Lieutenant General Sakhatovsky, Director of the First General Administration of the KGB, asked the Advisory Department of the Eleventh Division of the First General Administration to inform other Warsaw Pact member states of the Soviet Union. Commander of the Soviet National Defense Air Defense Force and Air Marshal Vladimir Alessandrovic Sudjetz, ordered that the National Defense Air Defense Force must keep all subordinate forces in the airlift state and prevent the possibility of US strategic bombers breaking through Soviet airspace.

With the order of Marshal Sudjets, 34 air defense forces, divisions, and surface-to-air missile forces under the nine major air release areas of the Soviet Union were in combat readiness and were in a state of being able to attack at any time, and nervously paying attention to the huge Soviet airspace.

Selov only literally knew the Cuban missile crisis. He had never experienced such a situation. When he saw those generals of the Defense Ministry who had experienced the Patriotic War seriously discussing the full-scale war, he felt that it was a mistake to participate. With his own preliminary preparations, he had already convinced the Soviet Union that the United States would definitely negotiate in the face of the power that could destroy itself. So driven by this mentality, the Soviet Ministry of Defense rested and boldly to prepare the Soviet armed forces and put pressure on the Americans to surrender.

The question is what to do if the fight really starts. It is not what he wants to die together. Are the remaining Soviet population waiting to hide under the Moscow subway to play radiation games in this world? Even if Selov is willing to do so, he doesn't want his women and children to face such a world.

"Why not join in and let the Soviet Union admit defeat?" Selov drooped his eyelids. He had not been sleeping for more than thirty hours. Even ordinary people knew that the Soviet Union and the United States had fallen into a full-scale confrontation. The entire Soviet Union was in a depressing atmosphere, let alone him, an insider.

The time was not long, and the chairman of the KGB and the two commanders of the border guards of the five Central Asian republics were all here. Kamiakin, the chairman of the Kazakh KGB, and General Kudriash, the commander of the Central Asian border guards, were not many. The weight of these people gathered together was enough. The KGB's political status was naturally not as high as that of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Beria. But the times have changed, and some things will not change. After the reorganization of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in terms of power, these security cadres have overcome the embarrassing situation of being a human being with their tails while Beria died.

After the corn movement, Rubiy Yangka began to take back the rights of delegating release to the franchised republics and local governments. It can be said that the KGB has recovered from its execution to the vertical system of the Stalinian period, and it is also an advantage compared to other departments.

"The first secretary sent me here mainly to inquire about the Sino-Indian border war. The war between China and India is also a major matter besides this confrontation with the United States. If you have any opinions, you can talk about them at will." Serov rubbed his eyes while speaking, hoping to restore his energy as soon as possible.

"According to the report of the reconnaissance plane, the Indian army has been hit and is retreating, but the war is still in a stable stage!" Compared to the others who looked confused, Kudriash had been following up on this matter for a long time and reported the reconnaissance results of the Soviet Air Force.

"According to the New Delhi report, the whole of New Delhi is still in peace." Kamia said while fiddling with a pen, "This kind of golden statue doesn't seem to be pretending. It seems that the Indian Army can still control the situation!"

This is not scientific and does not meet Selov's original investigation at all. Wait? Retreat? Mobile warfare? What Chinese soldiers are best at is mobile warfare. Once the Indian army retreats, it will be easily defeated by Chinese soldiers who are good at mobile warfare. No wonder later generations always think that Indian soldiers are defeated inexplicably. Peanuts that defend democracy on the island of Tigers can be testified. How terrible it is to be pursued in front of ** soldiers.

"It seems that the Indians are dead!" Selov lazily said such inexplicable words, and then ordered, "Make relevant preparations immediately. When the Indians cannot support their help, we can enter openly. We must let the great powers of passionateness take the initiative to ask for us so that we can enter in the name of the savior! Our first step is to airdrop a batch of supplies with humanitarian standards after the Indian army retreats..." (To be continued.)
