Big Time 1958

   "Huh? It's the same as ours!" General Chebrikov's answer was ambiguous. In fact, the nuclear submarine had entered the deep sea, and the land-based intercontinental missile had not moved yet. Of course, if there was any movement, it would be too late. At present, neither the Soviet Union nor the United States can intercept each other's intercontinental missile salvos. I believe that the dignified atmosphere of the current White House is no worse than that of the Kremlin.

Serov's silent appearance aggravated the pressure of the entire conference room, and it was not that no one wanted to compromise, but they never dared to say it. Before the war started, many people thought that the Soviet Red Army's entry into the Middle East was just forcing the US military Retreat, and the White House of the United States also believes that the Soviet Red Army will never really dare to meet the US military on the battlefield.

  In the case that both sides have nuclear weapons in the hands of tens of thousands, many people think that at the last moment, someone will always make a compromise, but at the same time they don’t want the one who compromises to be their own side, strategic misjudgment! It's still a very dangerous kind. When they really fought, the nuclear war shouts that had been released earlier could not be said.

  The Soviet Union's fierce response and tough attitude towards nuclear war made the whole world worry about it. The authoritative media of many countries accuse the United States and the Soviet Union of being irresponsible, while the pessimistic atmosphere and doomsday rhetoric between the lines have made the hearts of people in various countries and the whole world who are concerned about the war in the Middle East go cold.

   At the meeting of the White House and the National Security Council, all the bigwigs who participated in the meeting were silent. They once believed that although the distance between the two sides was very dangerous, the Soviet Union would eventually refrain from participating in the war. But when the war really broke out, these all-powerful bigwigs who controlled the power of the superpower were also at a loss.

  According to the conventional routine, is it time to escalate into a nuclear war? This is something that everyone thinks about, but does not dare to think deeply about. This question is too heavy. Who is willing to die if they can live a good life? Those who are stubborn and not afraid of death when they are free from disease and disaster will not choose to pull out the needle when they are lying on the hospital bed.

"Shelov is much more courageous than his predecessor. It really broke our decades-long tacit understanding and confronted us directly!" Powell, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, said with a heavy heart, "Today we were shot down by Soviet ground forces. Ninety-three planes, twenty-two planes were lost in air combat, and the number of soldiers killed in ground combat was nearly 1,500. Both the armament and the number of planes have exceeded four times since the battle. The combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army is far More worrying than any adversary we've met before, is that the Soviet forces are about to converge and Kuwait City has not yet been captured."

  The Iraqi People's Army in Kuwait City, after hearing the news of the exchange of fire between the Soviet Union and the United States, burst out with great fighting courage, and the morale that was almost hanged and beaten was restored. In the hearts of Iraqi soldiers, the Soviet Union is at least an equal opponent with the United States. Many people also think that the Soviet Union is more urgent and stronger because the Soviet Union is the big brother.

   "The Soviet Union intervened in the war very selfishly, which is a trampling on world peace." This kind of voice is completely from the standpoint of the United States, but the war must be caused by both sides, and the United States is also a party to the war. When the threat of nuclear war is looming, except for some of the closest allies, basically no one comes out to stand. Even if it is to criticize, it puts the United States and the Soviet Union in the same position, because standing on either side may cause the distance of conventional war. Nuclear war goes a step further.

President Bush glanced at his colleagues. Just as he was about to speak, the door was pushed open. His aide came in with the latest intelligence and said, "The latest statement by the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Serov, and his views on the war in the Middle East. ."

   "Let's take a look!" President Bush nodded and asked his assistants to read it out to judge the attitude of the current Soviet government. The button of nuclear war, everyone here did not want to press it.

This kind of public report is divided into two parts. The first part mainly says that in view of the current imperialist threat to the motherland, in order to prevent the US leader from taking a pre-emptive strike against the Soviet Union, he specially issued important documents and ordered the KGB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to maintain social order. , and prepare for emergency evacuation. Once the country faces the threat of a nuclear attack, all the republics, municipalities directly under the Central Government, local state committees, autonomous republics, collective farms, and enterprise units obey the command of the anti-revolutionary workers to evacuate and escape, and enter the anti-aircraft fortresses in an orderly manner to escape.

   In addition to the emergency evacuation order, it also emphasized the international obligations of the Soviet Union to the Allies, explained to the Soviet people why it must be adhered to, and of course frankly admitted that there was a real risk of nuclear war.

   Even if this kind of announcement is directed at the Soviets, the important personnel of the National Security Council present can imagine that the current Soviet Union is definitely not as calm as it seems, and no one can face nuclear war so indifferently.

"What does Serov want to do to prove that he is ready for a nuclear war and to scare us?" U.S. Defense Secretary Cheney pursed his lips, and he couldn't hide his nervousness in a tough tone. According to U.S. spy satellites, the Soviet Northern Fleet The submarine force had departed, and Cheney, a decades-long opponent of the Soviet Union, knew exactly where these vestibules with nuclear missiles were, beneath the icebergs of the Arctic Ocean.

  The closest straight-line distance between the Soviet Union and the United States is actually an area of ​​the Arctic Ocean that is usually not noticed on the map. Launching nuclear missiles from there is much shorter than a launch line across the Pacific. The glaciers in the Arctic Ocean are all over the place, making it very difficult to detect.

"In fact, we can also see that the meaning of the Soviet Union's announcement can also be understood as not to take and attack us first, but it also tells us that as long as our nuclear missiles start to launch, the Soviet Union will be sure to be attacked. Strike back as soon as possible!" Secretary of State James Baker said to everyone in a low voice, "At the same time, the current Soviet policy will not change, continue to conduct conventional wars and prepare for nuclear war."

Everyone involuntarily inhaled. It seems that this action can relieve the psychological pressure. Although there is already a lot of noise outside, there are voices calling for each to take a step back and start a nuclear war, but they, the first responsible person, need to keep a clear head. .

"Nuclear war is certainly not what we want, but unilateral compromise is impossible. We still have to win, and if we can't, we will make peace, and we must not lose." President Bush cleared his throat and said, "Gentlemen, on the battlefield The victory can allow us to leave with dignity, and since Serov's intention is so obvious, then we will decide the outcome by conventional warfare."

On the first day of the war, the Soviet Union relied on its comprehensive field air defense system to resist the U.S. air power in the Middle East, proving that it is also a ground force, and the army equipped with Soviet tanks is different from the real Soviet army. The comparison is almost The Iraqi People's Army, which has lost its helmet and disarmed its armor, and the Iranian People's Liberation Army, who dare not stand up. The Soviet Red Army's bombing propulsion ability of the US Air Force attracted the attention of the world, and it also made the equipment under the ground air defense capability of the Soviet Red Army famous.

  Doyle air defense missiles can intercept various flying targets at a distance of 12 kilometers, and can intercept various precision-guided weapons, including air-to-ground missiles, at a distance of 7 kilometers. Cruise missiles, anti-radiation missiles and guided bombs. Each combat unit consists of four fire units. Each fire unit is a chariot. The vehicle is equipped with a search radar, a phased array tracking and guidance radar and eight missiles. The bicycle is fully capable of independent combat.

   Tunguska cannon combined with air defense system. It is armed with eight missiles and two 30mm twin-barreled automatic anti-aircraft guns. The missile can intercept aircraft-type targets within eight kilometers, and can form a combat unit by six firepower units.

   The Soviet Red Army kept advancing while maintaining the ability to counterattack against air bombing. While attracting attention, it also kicked the hearts of many Western European countries. This type of marching mode was originally intended to be used on the Great Plains of Western Europe.

   With this model, the troops under General Bagramyan finally merged with the Soviet Red Banner Sixth Tank Army, which had set off earlier, under the cover of the Soviet Air Force, forming a terrifying ground force.

   That night, F16, F15, F18 in the United States. Various types of fighter jets such as F14 came again at night. Using the excellent technology of the United States, the night combat system manufactured by the United States stimulated the troops of General Bagramyan with precision guided weapons. Over Kuwait City, the air force of the United States and the Soviet Union Intense exchange of fire.

   As the F14 fighters that broke through the interception lowered their altitude and began to enter the attack route at high speed, the firepower on the ground seemed to be more intense. Almost all the weapons of the Soviet Red Army that could fire in the air were raining bullets into the air. The sky was illuminated by the trails of tracers and flares, and the arcs of the anti-aircraft gun tracers looked breathtaking.

   The Soviet Union participated in the interception of Su-24, Su-27, MiG-29 fighter jets, and American F16, F15, and F18. The F14 fighter group fought fiercely over Kuwait. The Soviet Air Force, with the cooperation of the Soviet ground air defense system on the ground, withstood the U.S. Air Force system. In the night, huge fireballs suddenly appeared in the sky. These brilliant fireworks Represents another valuable fighter jet disappearing from the world. When the fighter plane crashed into the ground, a fire broke out on the ground, and many Iraqi soldiers in Kuwait City came to their senses, and they seemed to be part of the war.

"As long as we defeat the US Seventh Army standing in front of us, the siege of Kuwait City can be lifted." General Bagramyan pointed to the map and said, "It seems that the Americans are not going to let us sleep tonight. Don't think that we can't reach their aircraft carriers, the domestic feel must let the Americans know that aircraft carriers are not absolutely safe."

  The Ark Royal, several hundred kilometers off the coast, the captain who was resting in the captain's room suddenly felt a chill covering his body.
