v2 Chapter 1568: west 81

The situation in the Middle East seems to be very lively, but in fact no one cares at all. Now military observers from all over the world have no time to care about the shriveled fists of the Middle East countries, because the Soviet Union held a large-scale military exercise called Western Bayi, which attracted attention of all military observers.

This exercise started on September 4th, when Mrs. Thatcher reshuffled the cabinet for the second time. Like all military exercises, "Western August 1st" was also divided into red and blue sides for confrontation exercises, of which the red side was the offensive side, and the blue side is the defending side.

The troops participating in the exercise include mechanized infantry, armored troops, artillery, pontoon troops, chemical defense troops, ground-to-ground long-range tactical missile troops, medium and long-range strategic missile troops, airborne troops, naval infantry, naval ship troops, and air force frontline aviation troops. Almost all arms of the Red Army were involved.

The number of tanks used accounts for one-sixth of the Soviet armed forces, that is, more than 10,000 tanks, which is roughly equivalent to the eastern country with the largest army in the world. As well as the largest airborne army in the world, red dandelions bloom in the sky, telling all the enemies what will happen once the line of defense is torn apart.

The reverse rocket booster of the airborne heavy equipment is impressive, and the operation of the Bison hovercraft from sea to land is even more impressive.

Ogarkov, who was the chief of staff of the Soviet Army at the time, and as the commander-in-chief of the Western August 1st Exercise, Ogarkov firmly believed that the next focus of upgrading the Soviet Union's indestructible national defense force would be informatization and precision strikes. This, coupled with the overall strength of the Soviet Union itself, will truly sweep the world.

The great Albert, relying entirely on his own ability, absolutely without the slightest human connection, became one of the British observers of Bayi in the West, and then rushed to East Asia non-stop. A military exercise, mixed with the qualifications of two large-scale military exercises, before returning to London to write a review.

What does a student hate most when doing homework? The answer is the invigilator, Lieutenant Colonel Albert is like this, but he dare not say a word, because the people behind him are his father, the Secretary-General of the British Cabinet, the Chief of Staff, the Secretary-General of the Joint Intelligence Committee, and others behind him.

"Just say it if you hate it, will your father still have the same knowledge as you?" Alan Wilson looked at the big boy and guessed one or two without knowing what to write, and cracked his finger bones to make his son relax.

Just when Lieutenant Colonel Albert felt that his life and property were threatened, a military paper titled High-tech Local War was thrown on the table, "Memorize it well, although it doesn't need to be published yet, you should also know What's going on, think about how I have been such a failure in my life, my son is already at this age, and I still have to worry about it."

Listening to his father's bickering, Albert's face flushed showing a kind of shame, but he didn't have it at all in his heart, "Father, I have let you down."

"I'm not disappointed. I never had any expectations for your military career. It's your grandfather who is disappointed by your poor performance." Alan Wilson sat back in his seat, sneering and sarcastic.

He was very strict with Pamela's children, except for his daughter, but some things were innate, and he put a lot more energy into Albert than Arnold, and the effect was not so obvious.

Maybe this kind of thing and money both embody a truth, everyone wants to have it, but in reality, some people have it and some don't.

"After watching two big exercises, I must have some experience. I don't ask anything else. I just talk about what I saw."

Alan Wilson yawned, wondering whether to accompany Hepburn later, and to send Lovey Sagerstaff tomorrow, because they wanted to drive Fanta to a market they had never set foot on.

While thinking this way, Alan Wilson urged, "You don't need to go so deep, just say what you see."

"The exercises of the two countries are both huge in scale. The Soviet Union used half a million soldiers, which showed its formidable strength in any aspect. However, I came back and saw some public opinion saying that it was a military exercise in the style of World War II. As for The scale of the other battle is also huge, mobilizing 100,000 troops, based on self-defense counterattack. But technically?"

Albert thought and said while watching the old father's reaction, ready to change the wording at any time to show the following flexible moral bottom line.

"Just what? There's nothing worthy of praise, right?" Alan Wilson sighed, "This can't be wrong. In fact, other than nuclear bombs, no country can do anything good. As for the Soviet Union, listen Some public opinion says that the Soviet military exercise is a military exercise in the style of World War II, how can we not say that? Say we can’t beat the Soviets?”

Just look at Ogarkov, who was the chief of the Soviet Army’s general staff at the time, as the commander-in-chief of the military exercise. It was not a military exercise in the style of World War II. Gakov vigorously developed the armed forces of the Soviet Union.

Under his promotion, the Soviet army succeeded in adopting the most advanced digital technology tactical command system at that time. Based on this, Ogarkov established the first digital test unit.

Ogarkov pointed out: "The combination of a new generation of precision-guided weapons with new sensing and monitoring systems and information equipment can form a reconnaissance and assault complex that shortens the duration of war. This will make a qualitative leap in the form of warfare. , leading to a military revolution.

Not to mention the backwardness of the Western August 1st warfare, could it be said that the Soviet Union is not only large in scale, but also advanced in concept, and we would kneel when we fought. This is the same as the prismatic tank must be a weapon of the Allied camp, good things must be from the free world, and we would rather the grass of the free world than the seedlings of socialism.

"As a soldier, you should proceed from the perspective of seeking truth from facts. But outside, considering the role of calming citizens' emotions, you have to say that this military exercise is not worth mentioning technically. Considering the current Sino-Soviet relations, the evaluation During another military exercise, they talked about unparalleled willpower and determination, and if there are no bright spots, find out the bright spots for me."

In addition to willpower, it is also difficult for Alan Wilson to find bright spots, especially when these two large-scale military exercises were held in the same month, and the intangible thing like fighting will can be said. If you really talk about things like weapons and equipment combat concepts, you will be exposed.

If Alan Wilson remembers correctly, it was only after the Gulf War that a certain major country realized that the previous tactics were no longer effective. The Soviet Union realized that technological innovation is normal. The Soviet Army is a fully mechanized army. Naturally, there is research on the method. The first thing the PLA needs to achieve is mechanization, and then it is the exploration of high-tech local wars.

"Father, what is the weakness of the Soviet army?" Lieutenant Colonel Albert also hoped to get some good news from his father, instead of hearing pessimistic thoughts.

"The Soviet Union's army is too large, and its transformation requires massive investment. There are 60,000 tanks alone. So many generals and staff officers need to eat."

Alan Wilson thought for a long time and finally gave an optimistic view. Essentially, to raise the combat effectiveness of such a large-scale army to a higher level, the required capital investment is an astronomical figure, "You don't need to care about it now, Lieutenant Colonel. First of all, Shouldn’t you be a general first? Even a brigadier general. Learn military papers by heart.”

Alan Wilson got up and put his hands in his trouser pockets to give orders to Hao Daer. ​​Early the next morning, he showed up at the London airport and slipped a check to Lovey Sagstaff as travel expenses.

"Ten million pounds?" Lovey Sagerstaff looked at his father as if he saw a corrupt criminal, "I remember, father, your annual salary is 81,000 pounds?"

"You know my penniless life very well." Alan Wilson gestured with his eyes to put the check in his pocket before he said lazily, "In fact, even my annual salary is useful, although I also have some patents and copyrights. Fee~lightnovelpub.net~ But it will take some time to save 10 million pounds. But you always need some funds to start a business, so you should check the local business environment.”

Alan Wilson is also an investor, and it is impossible to give advice to ladies of the same status as his wife, and then watch it by himself, but before Lovi Sagerstaff knew it, he urged, "Hurry up and get on the plane, Your female partner is still waiting, how could I have a son like you, counting the time I was the chief executive in Newfoundland, you are a full round older than others, so you can’t be like me and not be confused by age what?"

"Father, you are so right. I don't have a higher level of understanding like you." Lovey Sagerstaff was convinced, no one cared about his age when he was confused by Vivien Leigh and Garbo.

Sending the good boy back to Whitehall, Alan Wilson made a difficult decision, because the aircraft carrier of the Royal Pacific Fleet was sold, and the Royal Navy will be redeployed at this stage.

Still according to the configuration from west to east, two Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers will be added to the Pacific Fleet, and the surface fleet in the Persian Gulf will be replaced by the Queen Victoria-class aircraft carrier of the Mediterranean Fleet.

Because the United Kingdom no longer interferes in American affairs, Alan Wilson directly transferred the only cruiser in the Falkland Islands to the Mediterranean Fleet as a supplement. The Minister of Defense John Nott did not agree, but he communicated to the Prime Minister that there was no response. The Secretary of Defense remembered the rumor.

In a blink of an eye, in December, a group of Argentine patriots landed in the Falkland Islands by boat and raised the Argentine flag. Rex Hunt, the British Chief Executive of the Falkland Islands, asked London how to deal with it. The response from Whitehall was, Considering the relationship between the two countries and the views of the United States, it should be released.
