The fourth-generation fighter of the Soviet standard was in service before the third-generation fighter of the American standard. The reason why the overtaking occurred in the corner was that it saved a lot of time on the body. Wind tunnel testing was completed quickly, which should have been a time-consuming task. Serov knew that once this stage was passed, the two classic Soviet fighter jets could at least protect the Soviet Union’s skies until thirty years later, especially the Su-27 heavy-duty fighter jets had amazing potential and were absolutely capable of maintaining the two groups’ relationship for thirty years. Balance, even because of the early service time, can in turn oppress NATO in a short period of time.

Of course, this is only from the perspective of the Soviet Union. NATO countries will not feel this kind of oppression in a short period of time. The Soviet Union will not take the initiative to expose its trump card. Only by allowing NATO countries to slowly discover through clues can they play the biggest role. The deterrent effect, they themselves found to be more real than the Soviet Union actively exposed.

"If Project No. 70 can be successfully completed, I believe that we will not be troubled by the US Air Force in a short time." Air Force Commander Kutakhov and Ustinov and Serov have inspected the projects of major design bureaus these days. . At present, most projects are progressing relatively smoothly, and the only shortcoming is the strategic bomber.

   "This is also what we do. We can only give them time and at the same time ensure the investment of funds." Shelov shrugged and said noncommittally. Project 70 is the Soviet Union's White Swan and Tu-160 strategic bomber. His knowledge of this strategic bomber is limited to paper, and he has no ability to use sketches to help design.

"In theory, of course we hope to be as soon as possible, but in the actual operation process, of course, it takes time to design, supporting factories to produce parts, this is not a hen laying eggs. In terms of time, we can still wait." Ustino The husband looked back, his eyes were as dull as ever under the lens, he was a military engineer himself, and he would not force the design bureau to speed up the progress with an executive order. If the threat was imminent, he would also do so. There is no such condition yet. …

In the Kremlin, Brezhnev announced the arrangement of the adjustment work, and the first secretary of the Ukrainian Party Committee Shelester was transferred to the first vice-chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, assisting Comrade Kosygin to preside over the government work, and the chairman of the Ukrainian Council of Ministers, Shelby Tsky served as the first secretary of the Ukrainian Party Committee.

"Comrade Sherester, his handling of some ethnic issues is somewhat unsatisfactory. However, the party and the country still give full confidence to a veteran comrade like him with all-round abilities. Give full play to Comrade Sherester's role in The role within the scope of economic construction, I personally think is very appropriate." Brezhnev put forward a proposal very mildly, "Of course, Comrade Shcherbitsky's ability and character are also in my consideration. within range."

   All members of the Central Presidium are aware of a certain national sentiment that has always existed in Ukraine. Of course, there is a lot of criticism in my heart. Even Shelepin, who supported Sherest after Podgorny, was not very satisfied with Sherest's policy towards the Ukrainian nation.

  Brezhnev's proposal takes this attitude as an entry point, and I believe it will easily get the support of the majority of the members of the Central Presidium. This is a completely reasonable proposal. Who would dare to say that maintaining domestic stability is wrong. Even if Sherepin's biggest supporter did not go out with Ustinov to inspect, I believe he would not object, because the other party could not find an excuse to object.

   "Comrade Sherest, who has been in charge of Ukraine's work for many years, hastily transferred out of Ukraine, will it cause a shock in Ukraine?" Shelepin, chairman of the Supreme Soviet, raised an objection, "We cannot ignore this issue."

   "This is Comrade Shcherbitsky's problem." Brezhnev said calmly, "I believe he can handle it well."

   Since the victory in Turkey, the halo of Brezhnev, the general secretary, has become heavier and heavier. After serving as the chairman of the National Defense Committee, he has fully obtained the support of the military. If the previous collective leadership is a fact, the current collective leadership has become less and less restrictive to him, and Brezhnev can get more than half of the support with a little thought, just like this proposal.

   After he fell ill, although no one knew that he had suffered two consecutive illnesses, Brezhnev could feel that his body was indeed greatly affected, and his energy was not enough. Feeling this, some work hastened, such as establishing the dominance of himself and his supporters.

"Ilyich, it's long overdue to establish our dominant position." Kirilenko obviously had no doubts about Brezhnev's choice this time, "Squeeze Sherest to Kosygin first. , bring them together so the shocks are manageable."

"The National Congress in February next year will be the heavyweight meeting to decide whether we can confirm our dominant position. Let's prepare well first!" Brezhnev said wearily, "Whose line is more in line with the interests of the Soviet Union? Support ratings are also needed.”

"What's the matter with you? You seem to be a little tired recently? Do you want to take some time off and take a break?" Kirilenko cared from the perspective of a comrade-in-arms, "But this time Sierbitsky is in control of Ukraine, I believe it is for us. Got a good new."

   "I also believed in him, otherwise I wouldn't have handed Ukraine over to him." Brezhnev answered Kirilenko's second question, and pretended he didn't see the former. Since his second stroke is a secret, let it be a secret. His body can no longer recover from a holiday, and he is very satisfied with the current situation stabilized. Anything more is empty talk.

   Dnepropetrovsk was long closed off as a secret military city, and foreign tourists were banned from entering the city. Therefore, Dnepropetrovsk, with its military and industrial reserves, is different from other Soviet cities in every way. Sherbitsky used to be the secretary of the Dnepropetrovsk state party committee. Although he was suppressed by Sherest for a short time, the battle between the two in Ukraine now seems to have come to an end.

Later, Kirilenko, secretary of the Central Secretariat of the Secretariat, who has always been very fond of the successor, told Sierbitsky over the telephone line, "A formal decision still requires certain procedures, but basically, I And the general secretary hopes that under your leadership, Ukraine can have greater development."

"For the trust of the general secretary and the secretary of the Central Committee, I can only answer with my work performance." Shcherbitsky thanked very solemnly, and when he put down the phone, Shcherbitsky's face showed a little excitement. It's a little bit, because if you don't look carefully, you can't tell if he is laughing, who has been cold all the year round.

   Moscow’s discussion on Ukraine is, in the final analysis, a national policy. Sherest is a first secretary with national consciousness, and he is a chairman of the Council of Ministers with a sense of Great Russianism. Although both of them are Ukrainian, they are not one kind of people themselves. What Moscow needs is a first secretary who will lead Ukraine to become part of the Soviet Union, not a first secretary who always wants to make a comeback.

This is the difference between him and Sherester, and he himself understands this. He turned around and took out a long list from the drawer. These are all Sherester's supporters, involving various fields, various class. This was Shcherbitsky's first work, thoroughly clearing the soil of Ukrainian nationalists, which was imperative as long as Sherryst left.

  Ukraine has one in name, but in fact there are two. The Soviet Union was established, and the Ukrainian Soviet Republic joined the Soviet Union as the first republic. In this way, the Ukrainian nation was divided into two regions, the eastern and central Ukraine ruled by the Soviet Union, and the western Ukraine ruled by Poland. The Polish-ruled Western Ukraine was still a backward agricultural area, and then the Soviet Union seized Western Ukraine and announced that it would be incorporated into the Ukrainian Soviet Republic. The Soviet Union immediately carried out socialist transformation in Western Ukraine, arresting a large number of anti-communists, aggravating the tension in the local society.

   Ukrainian First Secretary Sherest has always adopted a pacifying approach to Western Ukraine. Now this model is always ineffective. Finally, Moscow feels that it should try another First Secretary. Shcherbitsky understood that this was his chance.

   Sherbitsky also decided to change the method, which is to carry out a thorough clean-up of the Ukrainian Communist Party, "Comrade Shilekov? I am Sherbitsky, if we have time, we can talk."

   He knew that Shilekov was a subordinate promoted by Serov. He was originally in Ukraine to help Varya carry out education reform. After setting up the education system, Varya returned to Moscow. Shilekov continued to work in Kyiv. Now he was ready to pass this man to test the words of the chairman of the KGB.

   "That's it, Chairman, I didn't find anything that Sierbitsky could help us with." Shilekov reported the process of meeting with Sierbitsky one by one.

"Understood." Shilekov's words were consistent with the report of the spy he had arranged for the two of them. This proved that Shilekov was still his own. Sherbitsky's purpose, Serov was very clear, as long as Sherest left. Ukraine, he would purge in Ukraine and send the Ukrainian mainland to prison. This ruthless man has been ruthless in history. In a sense, what Sherbitsky did is to be a little softer than Beria, and not to be shot. The scope is smaller, limited to Ukraine, and the rest is basically the same as the original Ministry of Internal Affairs. (To be continued~^~)
