Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 903: dead hand system
"When I start the radiation plot in New York, you can still laugh." Sheloff put his hands on his chin and watched the performance of this third-rate actor and Alzheimer's disease. He must pretend that he did not know that this incident has the shadow of the United States. But this is based on a greater retaliation by the Soviet Union in the future, otherwise it is not just the Turks who are unlucky now.
Of course Reagan didn't know that his opponent was staring at him on the TV, and even if he knew he didn't care. The effect of Reagan's reforms has already appeared. Although some of the results are still not satisfactory to him, I believe that there is absolutely no problem with the second term he expected. Whether it is Reagan's personal career or the national strength of the United States is rapidly recovering.
As long as we wait for the official election to start, Reagan believes that if the domestic situation is similar, we can further oppress the Soviet Union. The strength is still somewhat insufficient, but as long as the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany and Japan is withdrawn, there will be absolutely no problem.
"The best security expert in the world? Not being played around by us." CIA Director Casey said to Reagan with satisfaction, "Watching those angry polar bears chasing the Turks, this feeling is simply too much Wonderful."
The fly in the ointment is that the situation that the Soviet Union should have carried out a military strike against Turkey did not happen, otherwise this would be a bleeding point for the Soviet Union. It is a pity for Reagan to think of this, and polar bears also have shrewd times, which is a pity.
"It's really disappointing that Serov didn't gather a large army to attack Turkey!" CIA Director Casey shook his head as if he knew what Reagan was thinking, "If it really angers the Soviet Union, I believe we will face very little pressure."
Originally, both Reagan and Casey believed that the wave of Soviet expansion had just passed, and that it would not be able to form a boost after being digested for a period of time. But now the Soviet Union's resistance is still very fierce. Obviously don't want to go back obediently to be a harmless second child.
The confrontation between countries is first a political issue, a military issue, an economic issue, a cultural issue, and finally a moral issue, but moral issues are the easiest to mobilize the nation’s enthusiasm. Therefore, whether it is the Soviet Union or the United States, when explaining to their own people why they clench their fists and beat people, they start with the least important moral issues, and never talk about these issues in advance.
Reagan understands, and Serov also understands, so whether they criticize the other party or praise the other party, they all speak with morality, because in the final analysis, they are speaking to the people of their own country.
Reagan just regretted that the Soviet Union didn't make a big deal. He definitely hoped that the Soviet Union's revenge would be stronger, but it would be better to have the United States expose some war crimes by the side. It is a pity that the chief spy in Moscow did not give him this opportunity. Reagan had to admit that his opponent was not a pig. The pig opponent God arranged for him has long been pressed by the big spy chief to engage in agriculture in the border region. Even if Serov is hung up now, Ligachev is the most qualified to be the general secretary, but the three views are still normal. The secretary, under the influence of Serov, also believed that the Soviet Union had a great advantage over the United States.
Reagan's dream was doomed to fail. He could only play against a Soviet leader with a normal IQ, looking for an opportunity to clean up each other. The Soviet Union eventually fell into the Star Wars program, which made Reagan feel more gratified.
The Soviet Union made Reagan unable to do anything in a short period of time. The most unacceptable thing to Reagan was that Japan did not cooperate with the US strategy. It really thought that it was an independent country and became a strong economic opponent of the United States. This year, Japan replaced the United States as the world's largest creditor nation. The rapid growth of Japan's competitiveness is the greatest threat to American industry. In many industries, the United States can only take some non-market measures to reduce the Japanese threat.
At this time, as Japan’s exports to the United States also continued to increase in other fields, the Japanese economy grew rapidly, and the trade friction between the United States and Japan continued to escalate, from the earliest cotton fabrics to later steel to automobiles. Although the U.S. government kept asking Japan to restrict its own exports at that time, it was unable to alleviate the trade problems between the United States and Japan, and Japan’s trade surplus was still increasing.
Japan's economic system is a sub-system supported by the United States. This sub-system is used by the United States to supplement its own use at critical moments. However, Japan's expanding economic strength has given Japan an illusion that it is really an independent country. He even wanted to draw blood from the United States in turn and devour the American economic system in turn.
This is unbearable. In recent years, the United States and Japan have set off several rounds of trade wars. Ben's technology exports have exceeded imports, and technologies such as robotics, integrated circuits, optical fiber communications, lasers, and ceramic materials are at the world's leading level. Under such circumstances, the United States has stepped up its protection of intellectual property rights. This year, Ronald Reagan just established the Intellectual Property Committee to limit the outflow of domestic technology. The friction between Japan and the United States on intellectual property rights is increasing.
But even so, it still can't solve Japan's threat to the United States, when normal economic means can't work. Reagan had to consider using politics and military to bring Japan to its knees. The question is whether to do it before or after the arrival of the second term. This is also Reagan's promise to some consortia to ensure that his second term can start smoothly.
After being shot by a mentally ill once, Reagan knew that he could not take all the will of the consortium as one thing, otherwise, as if he had just taken power, a second mentally ill patient would appear soon. The trade friction between the United States and Japan has angered many big American companies, all of which Reagan fought for.
"The Japanese stock market crash seems to be after the U.S. stock market crash?" Serov took out his notebook to confirm this matter. He could detonate the stock market crash ahead of time after the withdrawal of the Soviet capital to prove that capitalism will soon come to an end, but he has to wait for the United States. The stock market crash broke out first. It can be said that the outbreak of the U.S. stock market crash was a reminder to him.
At the same time when the U.S. stock market crash broke out, it was when he started the Kodak radiation plot. At that time, Ronald Reagan should still be president. It is even easier to clean up Japan. Serov is sober that he has never been affected by the blow in his previous life. He clearly knows the relationship between Japan and the United States. There are too many ways. Anyone who has seen a country whose national security is threatened will have a stock market soaring, Serov If you want to deal with Japan, it is a problem of cruise missiles.
After the accidental bombing, the time to step up the confrontation will make Japan stunned. Of course, the capital will escape from Japan, and the country will be abolished.
If it weren't for the fact that the US's national strength was stronger than the Soviet Union, his tossing for so many years would have made his small book useless, because the world should have changed a long time ago. But the Soviet Union is strong, and it is also very strong when it encounters resistance from the United States. When the two-level structure is unshakable, until now his small books still have a certain reference role. There are rules in everything, and these rules can make Shelov admit counsel when he should, and kill his opponent when he should make a move.
Can Japan suddenly stand up to the pressure of the United States? It is impossible. The United States is just unwilling to use a trade war to solve the problem. It really escalates the trade friction to the level of a trade war. It is Japan who kneels down. It is Japan's dependence on the United States, not the other way around.
After the school bus bombing, the Soviet Union united the intelligence agencies of all the Warsaw Pact countries and the Asian security system countries. While the world was in trouble, there was no idle time in the country. The Baikonur launch site continued to launch satellites. The Soviet space station plan was officially put on the agenda. Most of the work that can be seen in this space station is normal work, but after the final construction is completed, the required weapon system will be really sent to the sky and become a real combat space station.
This kind of reaction is exactly in Reagan's mind. The US space program and the 600-hundred warship program continue to come out of Reagan's mouth. It is not important to say whether it can be done or not.
"Very well, when war comes, even if we are hit by nuclear weapons first, we must ensure that we can take the whole world to be buried together!" Serov, who was inspecting, was very satisfied. Of course, it would be better if he was accompanied by the Minister of Defense. .
However, just like last year when the Soviet Union did not have a general secretary for a period of time, the current Soviet Union does not have a second secretary and a defense minister. After the inspection, Serov will take time to go to the hospital to visit Chernenko and Marshal Ustinov. , Fortunately, the two were recuperating in the same hospital, so he didn't have to run twice.
"General Secretary, to be honest, I don't like this system very much. I hope it will never work." Marshal Ogarkov, the chief of the general staff, said with a heavy heart. He has always advocated high-tech operations, and he has also received support from Serov. , However, while supporting high-tech operations, the general secretary is also strengthening the Soviet Union's nuclear warfare capabilities.
The main purpose of the perimeter system is that the Soviet Union is capable of ensuring a retaliatory nuclear strike even if all command posts and communication lines of the Strategic Missile Forces are completely destroyed. On the Chinese network of later generations, the system first run by the Soviet Union has a more accepted name, Dead Hand System.
"High-tech warfare can be applied to when we bully small countries. Americans are not afraid of this war of bombing tents with missiles. Moreover, if the size of our army is changed to what you want, the entire Soviet Union will sell blood. I can't make up the military budget! Of course, I am in favor of reforming an army group as a fist force." Serov comforted Marshal Ogarkov over and over, and said to himself, "What the United States is most afraid of is this thing, our Soviet Union's Forty thousand nuclear bombs, otherwise why would there be a Star Wars plan?"
After inspecting the dead hand system that had just been put into operation, the general secretary with the poisonous apple went to the hospital again, showing the general secretary's concern.
