Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 832: General Political Commissar and Minister
The four major clusters cannot be considered. The military region of the Soviet Union, the Belarusian military region and the Ukrainian and Odessa military regions will be the participating troops for this exercise, and then some motorized infantry divisions will be drawn from other military regions as supplements. Novo has high hopes for this big exercise and personally conducts combat deployment.
On the other hand, Serov, who has Minsk as the general headquarters, also reprimanded the participating troops. Compared with the domestic front-line troops of the Soviet Red Army, the conditions on his side are much more complicated. After all, the approximately 200,000 participating troops from Warsaw are still a bit worse than the Soviet Union's own military. This made the general political commissar who played the role of the villain scratch his head a little. This time the exercise only had an outline, and there was no clear order for the red side and the blue side to win.
For this exercise, he also tried his best to recruit excellent staff from the KGB Frontier Guard and the General Staff of the Internal Guard, which are also part of the Soviet armed forces. It's just that in some statistics, the KGB Guards are not included in the total number of Soviet soldiers, but that doesn't mean they can't fight.
"Ustinov thought he would definitely win, I have to tell him a fact, nothing is certain." Serov took off his gloves and threw them on the map on the table, "I will give you a rough idea. Fang Lue, please add your opinions in it, remember, this time we are playing a NATO force. From now on, we are NATO."
"Yes!" The staff of the KGB and the commanders of the Warsaw Pact countries said in unison. Among them, the Greek commander was the most natural. For a long time, Greece itself was within the NATO combat system. Since Greece joined the Warsaw Pact, it has usually been with the KGB's Blue Army as an opponent in exercises, which the Greeks have long been accustomed to.
As the month of May, the celebration of the International Labor Day will soon come to an end, and preparations for the August 1st exercise in the West have officially begun. The railways in the eastern Soviet Union, train after train, carry troops and equipment participating in this exercise. T80 and T72 tanks under the canvas, as well as various infantry fighting vehicles, appear in the railway stations of many cities with a very high frequency.
At the same time, in the Eastern European countries, the participating Warsaw Pact troops also began to move to Belarus, preparing to confront the red side under Ustinov. Although it was an exercise, the degree of solemnity was not worse than the actual combat.
The Soviet General Political Commissar, Marshal Serov, has already told the Defense Minister Marshal Ustinov. It is not necessarily who will win this big exercise. Marshal Ustinov must show all his skills, otherwise he will represent the red side of the Soviet Union. If you lose, don't care about yourself.
"Chairman, are you sure you can win?" Little Valia still secretly asked this question in private.
"Of course I am! I have no confidence at all!" First made a high profile, Serov deliberately paused in the middle, and finally told the truth that his own ground power was only two-thirds of the opponent's, and his own troops belonged to different of the country, Ustinov's troops had only one common name, the Soviet Army. I'm afraid that due to coordination problems, I can't stop the opponent's attack when facing each other.
But it is not without a little advantage. Serov knows Ustinov's combat method. In fact, the Soviet Union has only one combat method, that is, a large depth assault. Any combat method is a variant of the large depth assault. But Ustinov doesn't know what his response is. If this is an advantage, then the Blue Army may only have such an advantage. As for the air force equipped for him, that is a fart advantage.
sighed, although he was not sure at all, but he couldn't show it. Instead, he pulled little Valia directly into his arms, gnawed at the delicate red lips, and skillfully took off the woman's military uniform. He picked up the little girl in his arms by the waist and staggered to the bathroom, only the girl's laughter was left in the room...
Perhaps from the point of view of understanding the chairman, the girl took a lot of initiative, sitting on it like a boat on the ocean undulating.
The large-scale troop mobilization cannot be concealed from anyone. NATO secretly ordered the troops of various countries to enter a state of combat readiness to prevent the Soviet Union from using this exercise to mobilize troops. In fact, it was to launch a surprise attack on NATO countries. This possibility is not impossible. Knowing that the western cluster in Germany can stay motionless, so is the northern cluster in Poland. These two clusters add up to 700,000 troops. Once a surprise attack is launched, plus the Warsaw Pact troops participating in the exercise, the Soviet Union can invest two hundred thousand at a time. Thousands of troops attack.
What if the Soviet Union went crazy? Is it that NATO is not at all on guard? By then it would be too late. If the general political commissar, who is obsessed with female secretaries, knows about NATO, he may prepare more actively. Instead of focusing on conquering Maomei. But the general political commissar is a determined person after all, and always likes young and beautiful...
This dignified and tense atmosphere has lasted for more than a month. The red side of the 500,000-strong army and the blue side of the 350,000-strong army are ready. On the plain between Belarus and Ukraine, nearly one million troops have already Waiting for the moment, as long as you give an order, you can devote yourself to this exercise that is close to actual combat to the greatest extent. Military observers invited from various countries also chose to join one side to observe, which is a good opportunity to observe the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Union.
There are also many military observers who choose the Blue Headquarters in Minsk, and they also want to know whether Serov, who plays the role of NATO, is born out of blue or a joke. It can be said without hesitation that most people came to watch the fun. How can a spy be able to fight? These people forgot that the Soviet attack on Turkey was planned by Serov.
The most dangerous era for NATO countries in the history of the Cold War. Limited by the political reality of the Federal Republic of Germany, NATO was forced to change its defense strategy from tripwire defense to forward defense, which meant that the NATO Army had to fortify the border of the Federal Republic of Germany and incorporate the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, which was originally a preset battlefield, into the defense scope. . This was politically effective, but militarily exposed the most elite parts of the NATO Army directly to the spearhead of the Warsaw Pact offensive.
Observers from NATO and neutral countries also want to know how the blue army will fight this time under such a strategic disadvantage. On June 16, Marshal Ustinov started his pre-war mobilization on the offensive position set by the Red side. In front of the defense minister, there were thousands of tank formations, densely arranged in At the same time, the border cannot be seen at a glance. Apart from the Soviet Union itself, there is no other country in the world that can concentrate such a large-scale ground force, but this is only one-eighth of the Soviet Union's ground force, and it is not a whole army dispatched at all.
All the NATO military observers who watched the performance took a deep breath when they saw such a scene that was worthy of intensive phobia. There are too many, there are too many, and once this army enters the activated state, it can be said that it is invincible.
In a small town 50 kilometers south of Minsk, Serov was also mobilizing before the war. Of course, the scene he faced was similar. It was also a phalanx of tanks and armored vehicles that could not see the border at a glance. He was unwilling to do so. , but this can really give the NATO military observers the greatest deterrent to come to observe.
"Comrades from various countries, comrades from the KGB, and, my children! In another 24 hours, this exercise that is as close to actual combat as possible will begin. Our role is the blue side's imaginary enemy troops." Shelov It started with a simple opening statement, "My children, you will be the front line troops, and I will be with you."
"Yes, Father!" In a large square in American military uniforms, they answered in unison. The power of this unanimous drink is astonishing. This is the Allied Forces of America formed by the KGB. This response made the American observers who came to watch the show look embarrassed. The United States has already investigated, and many children of American soldiers in the world have indeed been picked up by the Soviet Union and are now in front of him.
No one made fun of the Americans on this occasion, and everyone was shocked by the scenery in front of them and could not speak.
"I promised you back then that I would help you get rid of your discriminatory life and become a useful person to society. Years have passed, and I am glad that you have grown up. You are part of the Soviet Union, no matter what role you are in. , you are all helping the country of the Soviet Union, the party, the country, and the people are clear about this." Shelov shouted, "I ask you to repay me, but you should repay the country, starting from this exercise now, Defeating Ustinov's Red Army and showing your greatest combat effectiveness is the best reward for the country."
"Walk with justice, sniff out and eradicate traitors!" The unison's response was shouted in English, which directly changed the face of the observers here in the United States, and could only explain to the people next to them with a forced smile, " Inflexible mobilization, meaningless rehearsal, war is not acting, what is the use of such small actions?"
"The great Soviet Red Army is invincible, burying the enemies of the motherland in fire and steel!" Hundreds of kilometers away, Marshal Ustinov raised his right hand high, and solemnly respected all participating officers and soldiers A military salute.
"Ulla, Ulla, Ulla!" 500,000 Soviet Red Army troops shouted in unison from various assembly locations, responding to the Minister of Defense. In the eyes of observers from various countries, these officers and soldiers have been integrated with tens of thousands of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. .
At 8:00 a.m. on June 17th, General Secretary Brezhnev in Moscow ordered the exercise to officially start. At the same time, Serov ordered, "Turn on full-channel interference, switch to high and low frequencies after eight hours, and grab the right to information first. ."
