British Civil Servant

Vol 2 Chapter 1568: West 81

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

This exercise started on September 4th, when Margaret Thatcher reshuffled her cabinet for the second time. Like all military exercises, "Western-August 1" was also divided into red and blue sides for confrontation drills. The red side was the Attacking side, blue side is defending side.

The troops participating in the exercise include mechanized infantry, armored troops, artillery, bridge units, chemical defense units, surface-to-surface long-range tactical missile units, medium- and long-range strategic missile units, airborne troops, naval infantry, naval ship units, and air force front-line aviation units. ... almost all branches of the Red Army are involved.

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

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

Ogarkov, then the chief of the Soviet Army's general staff, as the commander-in-chief of the Western August 1st Exercise, Ogarkov firmly believes that the next focus of the Soviet Union's indestructible defense force will be informatization and precision strikes. This, combined with the overall strength of the Soviet Union itself, will literally sweep the world.

My eldest son, Albert, relying solely on his personal ability and absolutely without any human relations, became one of the British observers of the Western Bayi, and then rushed to East Asia non-stop. In the name of an ally who is not NATO but better than NATO, he also observed the North China Eighth. In the first military exercise, after mixing the qualifications of two large-scale military exercises, I returned to London to write my thoughts.

What does a student hate most when doing homework? The answer is the invigilator, which is the case with Lieutenant Colonel Albert, but he didn't dare to say a word, because the people behind him were his father, the secretary of the British cabinet, the secretary of the civil service, the secretary of the Joint Intelligence Committee, and so on...

"Just tell me if I hate it, will my father still have the same knowledge as you?" Alan Wilson saw that the elder could guess one or two without being able to write, and cracked his finger bones to relax his son.

Just when Lieutenant Colonel Albert even felt that his life and property were threatened, a military paper titled "High-Tech Local Warfare" was thrown on the table, "Memorize it well, although you don't have to publish it yet, you should also know What's going on, think about my failure in my life, my son is this age, and I have to worry about it."

Listening to his father's babble, Albert's face flushed, showing a kind of shame, but in fact he didn't have it at all, "Father, I've disappointed you."

"No disappointment. I have never had any expectations for your military career. It is your grandfather who is disappointed by your poor performance." Alan Wilson sat back in his seat, sneering at the lack of supreme authority.

He disciplined Pamela's children very strictly, except for his daughter, but some things were born, and he invested much more energy in Albert than Arnold, and the effect was not so obvious.

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

"After watching the two big exercises, I must have some experience. I don't ask anything else. What is the intuitive feeling, just say some understandings."

Alan Wilson yawned, wondering if he should accompany Hepburn later, and send Lovisa Gerstaff tomorrow, and they want to drive Fanta to a market they have never set foot on.

Just when he was thinking about it, he didn't see the text for a long time, and Alan Wilson urged, "It doesn't need to be so in-depth, just say what you see."

"The exercises in both countries are huge in scale. The Soviet Union used 500,000 soldiers, and it showed daunting strength in every aspect. However, I came back and saw some public opinions that it was a World War II-style military exercise. As for The other one is also huge in scale, using 100,000 troops, based on self-defense counterattacks. But technically?”

Albert thought while talking, while watching the old father's reaction, he was ready to change his words at any time to show the following flexible moral bottom line.

"Just what? There's nothing to praise, right?" Alan Wilson sighed. "It's not wrong. In fact, other than nuclear bombs, there is nothing that can be done. As for the Soviet Union, listen Some public opinion says that the Soviet military exercise is a World War II-style military exercise, how can we say otherwise? They say we can't beat the Soviets?"

Just look at Ogarkov, who was the Soviet chief of staff at the time, as the commander-in-chief of the military exercise. It was not a military exercise in the World War II model. Alan Wilson remembers that during his tenure as the first deputy minister of defense and chief of the Soviet army's general staff, Orr. Gakov vigorously develops the armed forces of the Soviet Union.

Under his impetus, the Soviet Army succeeded in adopting the most advanced digital technology tactical command system at that time. On this basis, Ogarkov established the first digital test force.

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 the war. This will make a qualitative leap in the form of warfare. , which led to a military revolution.

Not to mention the backwardness of the Western August 1st tactics, could it be said that the Soviet Union is not only large in scale, but also advanced in concept, and we will kneel when we fight. This is the same as the prismatic tank must be the weapon of the Allied camp. Good things must be of the free world. It is better to have 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 effect of soothing citizens' emotions, you should also say that this military exercise is technically not worth mentioning. Considering the current Sino-Soviet relations, the evaluation During another military exercise, he talked about unparalleled willpower and determination, and if there are no bright spots, you have to find bright spots for me.”

In addition to willpower, it is difficult for Alan Wilson to find bright spots, especially since these two large-scale military exercises were held in the same month. To really say things like the combat concept of weapons and equipment, it will be revealed.

If Alan Wilson remembers correctly, it was only after the Gulf War that a major country realized that the previous tactics were no longer working. The Soviet Union realized that technological innovation was normal. The Soviet Army was a fully mechanized army. The method is naturally studied. The first thing the PLA must achieve is mechanization, and then it is the exploration of high-tech local warfare.

"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 scale of the Soviet army is too large, and transformation requires a huge amount of investment. There are 60,000 tanks alone, and so many generals and staff have to eat."

Alan Wilson finally gave an optimistic view after thinking for a long time. In essence, 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 now, Lieutenant Colonel. First of all Not to be a general first? Even a brigadier general. Memorize the military papers."

Alan Wilson got up and put his hands in his trouser pockets and gave the eldest order, and the next morning he showed up at the London airport and gave Lovisa Gerstaff a cheque for travel expenses.

"10 million pounds?" Lovisa Gerstaff looked at his father as if he had seen a corrupt man, "I remember, father, your annual salary is 81,000 pounds?"

"You still know a lot about my impoverished life." Alan Wilson gestured with his eyes to pocket the check first, and then said lazily, "In fact, even my annual salary is useful, although I also have some patents and copyrights. But it will take some time to save 10 million pounds. But you always need some funds to start a business, you go and study 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 wives~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I watched it myself, but Lovisa Gerstaff didn't know it yet, and urged him. , "Get on the plane quickly, your female companion is still waiting, how can I have a son like you, count the time I spent as the chief executive in Newfoundland, you are a year older than others, you can't be like me So, don't you be fooled by age?"

"Father, you're so right, I don't have a higher level of understanding like you." Lovisa Gerstaff looked convincing, and when she was bewildered by Vivien Leigh and Garbo, who cares about her age.

Sending the eldest son back to Whitehall, Alan Wilson made a difficult decision as the Royal Pacific Fleet's aircraft carrier was sold and the Royal Navy was now redeployed.

Or 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 of the Persian Gulf will be replaced by the Queen Victoria-class aircraft carrier of the Mediterranean Fleet.

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

In December, a group of Argentine patriots landed in the Falkland Islands by boat, and the Argentine flag was hoisted. Rex Hunt, the British administrator of the Falkland Islands, asked London how to deal with it. The response from Whitehall was: , taking into account the relationship between the two countries, as well as the views of the United States, should be released.
