Chapter 915 A pair of mental illness
In fact, an INF Treaty has limited effect on weakening the total amount of nuclear weapons of the Soviet Union and the United States, only one to one-thirty-two of the respective nuclear weapons of both sides. Signing or not only signing or signing has only certain symbolic significance, which requires the United States' geographical advantage. Soviet medium-range missiles have no threat to the United States at all, and can only threaten Western Europe.
Soviet missiles could not hit the United States. The United States' medium-range missiles could strike the Soviet Union's deep territory: the Pershing-2 missile could hit Moscow with its maximum range, while the land-based cruise missile could hit Urals almost. Given this geostrategic asymmetry, Moscow was extremely interested in banning such missiles with a treaty. Washington, on the contrary, did not want to sign such a treaty at all, but was under strong pressure from American society and NATO allies who were afraid of intensifying nuclear confrontation on the European continent.
Therefore, the countries that were most enthusiastic about the signing of the INF Treaty between the Soviet Union and the United States were the European countries such as the Federation of Germany, Italy, France, and Britain. These countries always felt like they were kidnapped by the Soviet Union, so they had always asked the United States and the Soviet Union to cut their nuclear weapons.
This mentality is that you can compare your strategic nuclear weapons with each other, but don’t use Europe as the battlefield. Anyway, for the United States and the Soviet Union, medium-range missiles themselves are only a small part of the nuclear arsenal.
Judging from the number of missiles cut by both sides, the Soviet Union was at a very disadvantage. Because the number of medium-range missiles that the Soviet Union wanted to cut was more than twice that of the United States. Of course, this has both advantages and disadvantages, but from a strategic perspective, even if the number of Soviet Union destroyed ten times that of the United States was ten times that of the United States, it was beneficial to the Soviet Union: You know, this means that for it, an integral part of the strategic nuclear threat disappeared. For the United States, the treaty did not reduce any threat. Soviet medium-range missiles were not enough to reach the United States.
Today, negotiations have been on and off for many years, and the meeting has been held more than a hundred times. Selov concluded that the United States was unwilling to cancel the medium-range missile at all, so he has been working with Ustinov to advocate not to negotiate and continue to confront the confrontation.
Of course, this is not Selov's purpose. He also wants to remove the threat of medium-range missiles to the Soviet Union. He cannot learn from the Go Map to make concessions to achieve his goal. On the contrary, he has to act like he has a great advantage. During the seven or eight years of negotiations, the United States only thought that the Soviet Union was pretending to be a pretender, but later it found that the Soviet Union was really not going to talk about this.
Reagan was under great pressure after taking office, especially after the Plaza Accord. Western Europe hoped that Reagan would show some sincerity and not let the Soviet Union and the United States confront each other with Europe as hostages. The Soviet Union has been not interested in such unfair negotiations for seven or eight years, and Reagan is willing to make this gesture to appease Europe.
But? Now the Soviet Union's uninterested attitude has ended. If peace continues, the INF Treaty will be unfair to the Soviet Union. But if war comes and no nuclear weapons are deployed on the European continent, how happy the Soviet Union will be. My tank army finally has its place to be used. The remaining short-range missiles are not even reachable to Poland, and I still want to fight the Soviet Union?
If this treaty is reached, there is only one disadvantage, which is that it will damage Selov's authority. However, the General Secretary doesn't care. He keeps a group of old people in the Central Presidium just because he is afraid that a few capable committee members will use this matter to challenge him. And Jihonov is impossible...
Selov and General Bagramiyan discussed this issue in depth, and it was very uncomfortable to hold it alone. According to the current progress, the chance of launching a war to attack the Federal Republic of Germany is zero! That is zero. The Soviet tank army cannot carry so many medium-range missiles to attack, and medium-range missiles are the biggest obstacle to the Soviet attack. Those nuclear artillery and nuclear mortars are not considered.
There are some favorable factors in this historical time and space. Because the Soviet Union is still about to confront the United States' counterattack, some of Reagan's small moves were not useful, such as the Soviet Union's shooting down of South Korean civil aviation passenger planes and the Soviet Union's seven-hour nuclear war exercises were not held. That is to say, the original history of the hostility between the Soviet Union and the United States has escalated little by little from the 1980s, and now it has skipped the escalation process and reached 70% directly. It is not necessary to perform some of Reagan's rogue actions. The hostility is already very important...
"In fact, why do Western European countries do this? Those nuclear weapons are protecting them." General Bagramiyan shook his head. He was a soldier and he still couldn't understand the things that involved too many levels.
"Because medium-range missiles will only threaten Western Europe, and the United States is fine. The most important reason is that normal people will not launch nuclear wars. The Cold War has been forty years!" Selov pointed to his nose and said, "Many people think that I am another Khrushchev, and I happened to meet an opponent who also loves to perform. Reagan and I are a pair of mental illnesses..."
With the current situation, no one will let go of a good life but think about how to die together. But Reagan felt that it was necessary to weaken the Soviet Union or even defeat it. Selov also thought so. Except for the two of them, no leader of other countries thought so. Instead, he thought that the two big brothers had a bad life and had two of them as the supreme leaders.
"It seems that you know Reagan very well!" General Baglamyan smiled, still feeling that this matter was imaginary.
Of course! Selov didn't say anything. What kind of person is Reagan and what kind of way of thinking, he knows best what kind of mistress.
Serov and Reagan have always had no interest in meeting each other, which did not delay the enthusiastic European leaders from time to time to match each other. If the Intermediate-Range Rail Treaty can be signed, the two will inevitably meet.
After the New Year, the General Secretary did not go to work immediately, but went to a very secret test site. From a dimension, it was close to the Arctic Circle and was a wasteland that did not even grow in coniferous forests. However, there is still a small city here, but it is now abandoned and all staff have been evacuated.
This small town was originally used to log gold mines, but it was abandoned in the late 1970s and is now used by waste for experiments. Because it is close to the Arctic Circle, the temperature here is much lower than that in Moscow, close to minus forty degrees. There is no residence within 300 kilometers, and some Chuvash people may appear, but it should not cause harm to them.
If the city also has life, this city that only appeared on the military map is dead. The ruins are not a scrap garage, a scrap farmhouse, or a scrap factory, but a whole city. After a while, the silicic acid cement in the city buildings, streets, and the silicic acid cement was weathered into sand, steel, and the profiles were rusted and turned into metal slag. The cottages were turned into wood chips and soil.
This abandoned city five years ago has not yet reached its final stage. At least many buildings are very complete and can be moved in after simple repairs. Of course, it is best not to come in winter. It took a long time for the inner guard to restart the frozen heating system and open from the window. You can still see Lenin images printed on a large floor not far away.
The equipment, scrapped profiles, sports equipment, Kamas, Lada, and Moscow people were all discarded in chaos. Here, you don’t worry about being stolen, and don’t care whether he decayed or not. Because even if you move him away, there is no road to transport it.
Just like Chernobyl, the General Secretary came from afar to see the world in a scientific manner and treated it as a traveler, but mainly to see the experimental data with his own eyes. He definitely wouldn't have come a year ago because it is really similar to Chernobyl, and he is conducting nuclear leakage experiments.
The maximum pollution range of uranium at a weapon level of 15 kilograms can be caused, and how to create greater nuclear pollution. This is the study here. After several tests, the data on the maximum damage has been released. These nuclear physicists wearing radiation protection suits every day have completed their tasks.
To use good steel on the edge, Selov must know how to use limited pollution sources to achieve the maximum effect, and it is best not to be discovered immediately. After all, the energy of Kodak's nuclear reactor is much worse than that of nuclear power plants, and it is cheaper to stand in densely populated areas. As for whether this test is harmful to nature, the atheist general secretary doesn't care.
Soon, Selov left here and ordered the city to be abandoned again. All participants signed confidential documents and went to the KGB to report at the same time. All the experimental data were confiscated and all the animals used for the experiment were shot dead.
From now on, when Selov was busy working, he began to carefully formulate a combat plan again. The last time he was so serious, he was cleaning up Turkey, and he didn't know when this combat plan would be used, and would be revised at any time. Just like last time, the General Secretary did not tell anyone.
"If I was exploding a big Ivan from Nobita Island, the entire European defense system would be destroyed, right? At that time, electronic interference was turned on. Can you win out twenty-four hours?" The General Secretary was seriously considering this possibility. He believed that no equipment could withstand 100 million tons of equivalent nuclear weapons, and all equipment should be burned out.
No, we need to continue to argue! When the General Secretary was studying whether to come to the world war to help the liven up, General Chebrikov came from Ruby Yangka and brought some latest information about the Middle East.
"Southern Azerbaijanis want to incorporate into the Soviet Union?" Selov frowned and silent for a moment, "This kind of idea is not good for us and has no benefit at all. Will it be a rumor spread by the Americans? We must express our position to the Iranian People's Party. The Soviet Union will never recognize this matter. There is hope for Iran's territorial integrity at any time.
