Chapter 433 Light Prism Tank
Sherov took the wine bottle and poured a glass for each of them, and said with a smile, "Did you forget an ally who was just condemned by the whole world? If you want to break through the diplomatic dilemma, you must do something. The wind comes from the east..."
The bad impression of the Sino-Indian war will definitely last for a few years, and China will not always be hostile. From a historical perspective, China's large-scale aid to Africa began in the 1960s. Once the cause and effect were linked, Selov concluded that China is now looking for an opportunity to land in Africa. As long as one thing is caught by China, the balance of power in Africa will change. Selov temporarily gave up the establishment of a pro-Soviet government in the former French colony, and turned his guns to concentrate his efforts to chew British Africa.
"In this way, without provoking France, we are two-on-two. The confrontation between China and the Soviet Union and Britain and the United States is not inferior to that of ours. China's strength is far less powerful than us, but it is easy to keep an eye on a few small countries!" Selov looked at Andropov and Ustinov, and the three of them hid under the big tree to drink, which felt like they were cooking wine to judge heroes.
"By the way, you are asking China for help in the reclaiming of the coastal ripe region, which must be your idea!" Ustinov stretched out his finger and pointed at Selov and smiled, "You are too bad, how much supplies have you deceived people?"
"What is called fraud? It's total cooperation, and we don't want to return it to them." The socialist country has more face than anything else. At least in the view of the Soviet Union and China, the KGB will definitely find a way to return it to China after the reclamation is completed, but Selov still told Ustinov, "There are currently more than 100 harvesters, 1,000 tractors and 500 cars. I have already recorded the support I received. After the reclamation is completed, I will return it to China with new machinery!"
"I heard you are going to grow rice in the coastal Krai?" Andropov asked curiously, "Are you sure?"
"There should be no problem to grow rice on the plains and corn on the hills!" The coastal ripe area is only separated from Heilongjiang River. In later generations, rice can also be grown in Heilongjiang. There is no reason why the coastal ripe area that is separated by a river cannot be grown.
Selov didn't talk much about this issue because he was not familiar with it. If he were also an agricultural expert, Khrushchev would have asked him to work in the government. Now, a group of cadres called agricultural experts gathered under the Soviet ministers' meeting. I don't know if it was true or not. Selov suddenly remembered that Gormap was disguised as an agricultural expert at the beginning? I didn't think of this person, his files had been confined by Selov, and he would never be able to work in the central government for the rest of his life. He would find a state to make trouble for himself, and Selov was unwilling to pay attention to him.
"Everyone is here, I said why can't I find you? The cadres of the three important departments are lazy. This is not the style of our Soviets!" After the three rounds of wine, Brezhnev actually appeared at this time. I don't know where I got the news and went straight to the country villa in the suburbs.
"Ilych, we also got together by chance. We are too busy. We have a few of us who share the same language. Let's sit down and have a drink together!" Among the people present, Ustinov and Brezhnev have been in contact for the longest time and are the ones who have the best relationship. Andropov has no factional color. Selov is completely a general of Selepin, but the relationship between the three of them is very harmonious.
Selov learned this trick from Brezhnev. In normal times, you must have a good relationship with the cadres around you. Maybe you can help you at any time? This is not accurate. Besides, he knew who was a lot of cadres who were later in power except the Dnipro gang, so it would be no harm to establish a good relationship first. Selov recently had a good relationship with Grishen, who later replaced Yegorechev. By the way, I investigated several women who had a good relationship with Grishen. Anyway, it was just a pastime, and I thought it was just a sex joke.
"I am so happy to see you three together, and there must be a country in trouble!" Brezhnev sat down without any airs and looked at the three people and said, "If the Soviet Union is the final word, I believe it will cause a world war tomorrow..."
"We are discussing how to confront allies overseas. I talked to Selov about this issue!" Andropov said, "The situation over there is still relatively complicated, mainly because we only have some shortcomings in the strength of our two departments."
"Our first secretary has some conservative and idealistic treatment on this issue. In my opinion, there are two areas worth noting. One is South Africa and the other is the Persian Gulf. Controlling these two places will cut off the motivation of the Western world!" Brezhnev rarely showed a confident state, but he had been idle for a long time in this issue.
Selov was shocked but immediately relaxed. This was very consistent with Brezhnev's decision after he came to power. At that time, the Soviet Union's offensive direction was southern Africa and the Middle East, but the latter was not implemented well, but it was true.
"There is no problem with the strategic direction, but the problem we are facing now is that we are not strong enough, so Andropov and I mean to concentrate the main force in British Africa, that is, East Africa." While speaking, Selov mentioned the current difficulties, which was that the strategic delivery power was not enough, and the intelligence network was not built, and it turned against the United States before it was built. Therefore, strategic contraction must be adopted. Brezhnev nodded constantly, obviously agreeing with this opinion.
"It is feasible to borrow China's power. We are just a quarrel between socialist brothers, and it's no big deal. Isn't there still a lot of cooperation now?" Brezhnev's expression was not fake at all. That's what he really thought.
Looking at the Brezhnev era, I actually wanted to bring China back, but the trick I chose was the same as the Soviet Union treated Eastern European countries, that is, pressure. China has never surrendered. Even before China participated in the boycott of the Moscow Olympics in later generations, Brezhnev did not think that the situation was serious. It was not until that Olympics that China and the United States boycotted it that things were wrong. China was playing the real thing.
It is normal, because for the Soviet Union itself, it did not invest much military force in the Far East, that is, the weapons of one hundred thousand troops were relatively average, and the troops were still second-line troops. The Soviet Union did not feel that it had invested much force to contain China. But it was different for China. The Soviet Union's second-line troops were equipped with more than 10,000 tanks, which was more than twice that of China's country. This was of course a disaster, mainly because the two were different in their understanding. The Soviet Union's military force was not large, and it was simply a mountain of pressure on China.
"If Chinese people want face, we will give them face. When it is time to rescue this thing, ask for help and take care of their self-esteem. There will be no problems. Our main enemy and strategic direction are the United States and Europe. The Americans who make China trouble in Asia are the Americans. We can't reach Southeast Asia. We give them all to China except Indonesia. Anyway, we are no longer under our control. What are you afraid of?" Selov moved his legs and said, "When the United States collapses, whoever has better economic conditions and operates smoother will be real socialism."
Brezhnev deeply agreed with Selov's words. In his opinion, Khrushchev always used theory to suppress the other party's ideas. Now that the Soviet Union blocked China's words to scold the Soviet Union, isn't this much better? It's far less passive than before this year.
Several people talked a few more times, and the topic turned to the development of arms. Ustinov said that the research on new tanks was not very smooth, mainly because of the excessive cost. After listening for a long time, Selov understood that the new tank should be the T64 main battle tank. Although the T-64 is not equipped and developed by many countries like the T-72 main battle tank, it is the basis of the Soviet Union's future modern tank (such as the T-80, but he did not talk much. The Soviet Union has sufficient reserves in tank technology. It doesn't need him as a layman to worry. Being a security expert is enough to disguise himself as a weapon expert? Isn't that exhausting?
"When the technical reserves are mature, you can just make a tank that is easy to produce on a large scale!" Selov said with a smile. Ustinov was very happy. He liked this kind of speech to his friend who was angry with him and said directly, "I have considered this issue. By the way, the Morozov Design Bureau said that some drawings have helped them, but they don't know who gave it to them, but it has inspired them a lot!"
When he heard these words, Selov coughed violently and quickly stuffed a loaf of bread into his mouth. If he had a good memory, the drawings seemed to have been sent by Isey Motney on the urge.
"Oh, I stole some concept design drawings from the West at that time, and I didn't know whether those drawings were important or not, so I copied them and sent them to the Molozov Design Bureau!" Selov simply admitted that he did this. In order to prevent Ustinov from being scared by this news, he only said that this is the concept drawing. The Western world has not designed such tanks specifically, so it also explained the reason and spread the Western threat theory.
But this news also made Ustinov's face change instantly, and he obviously attached great importance to this news. As the Soviet army imagined enemy, every move from the West made him wary of every move. He specifically asked the KGB to collect information about the NATO Army to make Selov pass the test.
"It's a pity that my son Nikolay is not doing his job every day. He is thinking about those strange things every day at the Institute of Physical Celestial Body. A few days ago, he said he wanted to build a tank that uses lasers. It's so funny." Ustinov shook his head and said, "I really can't do anything to my son!"
Laser?Selov thought about it carefully. If he had not remembered that the prototype of the light edge tank was actually a Soviet tank. So the designer who studied the light edge tank was Ustinov's son Nikolaye Ustinov (To be continued.)
