Dominate South Asia

These missiles pose the greatest threat to the United States. Although both sides have started to destroy them simultaneously, who can guarantee that they are truly destroyed? The other party must be present!

At the same time, in order to ensure that there is no new production capacity, the missile factory also needs to be completely destroyed.

After President Reagan finished speaking, Gorbachev shook his head again and again: "No, how can this be? We will do what we say and will definitely destroy it."

"Mr. Gorbachev, this is our last request." Reagan said: "If you can't even do this, then there is no credibility. We only believe in our own eyes. Only when we see the missiles destroyed with our own eyes can we confirm it. Excuse me, we are not yet at the point where we can fully trust each other."

After Reagan finished speaking, the scene became cold. In fact, this is a question of dignity. The destruction of those missiles in the country would have been strongly opposed by the military. If they were destroyed in front of the Americans, it would almost be a slap in the face of the Soviets. They have always believed that the Americans are their enemies. Now, they have to destroy their weapons in front of the enemy. This is a great irony!

Time passed by bit by bit, and some members of the Soviet delegation almost wanted to leave. It seemed that no agreement would be reached as before.

Originally, this was a trick, letting the other party destroy it, and then they had the opportunity to hide part of it secretly to lure the other party into being fooled, but both sides were not stupid, who would take the initiative to destroy their missiles?

Gorbachev tapped the table with his hand, listening to the clock on the wall ticking, and finally, he made up his mind and said: "We can agree to the on-site inspection of both sides, but. We have a new request."

We can agree, after all, this inspection is mutual. While our missiles are destroyed in front of the Americans, the American missiles are also destroyed in front of us.

Gorbachev's performance just now was all intentional, he wanted to make a new request!

"You stop the Star Wars program." Gorbachev said: "No more related experiments."

The Star Wars program is a plan carried out by the United States at the initiative of President Reagan. It is mainly used to resist ballistic missiles.

At the same time, this anti-ballistic missile is not like the Soviet Union, which built an anti-ballistic missile system on the ground, but in space.

During the launch phase of the ballistic missile, conventional warheads or directed weapons are used to attack strategic missiles during the launch and atmospheric penetration phase. Among them, directed weapons include microwaves, lasers, high-energy particle beams, electromagnetic kinetic weapons, etc. The entire weapon plan mainly uses space technology to implement defense in outer space, and even further away. It is even possible to build a base on the moon to destroy those nuclear warheads that have already passed through the atmosphere. At the same time, a four-layer defense system from launch to landing will also be established.

The United States plans to invest tens of billions of dollars. To develop these weapons.

In later generations, Star Wars was a scam from beginning to end, and it was a new arms race that dragged down the Soviet Union.

However, from the actual effect, this plan is a multi-level space defense plan with space as the main base, consisting of a global surveillance, early warning and identification system, an interception system, and a command, control and communication system. It includes a high-tech group composed of rocket technology, aerospace technology, high-energy laser technology, microelectronics technology, computer technology, etc. In this way, this plan is not just a military plan. Through this plan, a large number of high-tech groups have been developed, which is the greater purpose, allowing the United States to continue to lead in the economy, military, science and technology.

For example, the GPS navigation system, which has been widely used in later generations, although it originated from the initial sixty or seventy years of the meridian navigation satellite, was truly developed in the United States' Star Wars. It is an important part of Star Wars.

The United States has a significant advantage in high technology. Although the Soviet Union has also developed a navigation system, its accuracy is poor, the satellite life is still limited, and it is backward in microelectronics. The gap between the Soviet Union and the United States is getting bigger and bigger.

Therefore, Gorbachev used this as a bargaining chip. It is to make the United States give up this plan and thus shorten the gap between the Soviet Union and the United States.

Hearing Gorbachev's words, President Reagan immediately shook his head firmly: "No, we are talking about the INF issue now, not our other plans. As for our Star Wars plan, we need to discuss it separately and cannot put it together with this INF treaty."

Reagan would certainly not agree. He also wanted to rely on this plan to improve his country's scientific and technological capabilities and drag down the Soviet Union. In particular, this plan was proposed by Reagan, but in just two years, Reagan canceled the negotiations. Those military, universities, etc. that have already invested in research and development must have scolded Reagan.

Reagan's firm opposition made Gorbachev stunned. Just now, his side had repeatedly made concessions. If he made concessions here again, it would make him look too incompetent, and he had to suppress the other side in momentum.

Thinking of this, Gorbachev said: "Essentially, these are the same. We reduce nuclear weapons to prevent an arms race, and your country launched the Star Wars plan to gain absolute advantage in nuclear war. Why can't we discuss them together? This is our final condition. If you don't agree, then our plan can no longer proceed."

"No, for us, these are two completely unrelated things. If we give up Star Wars, will you destroy the rubber shoes deployed around Moscow?"

The rubber shoes are the Soviet Union's anti-missile system, and also the world's first anti-missile system, to prevent the attack of American ballistic missiles.

In later generations, the United States has been experimenting with anti-missile systems, but it is full of difficulties, while the Soviet Union has successfully developed it in the 1960s. The Soviet leaders at that time proudly declared that we shot down flies in space.

It's a pity that they were just flattering their faces at that time. The Soviet Union's anti-missile system used nuclear bombs against nuclear bombs.

The biggest advantage of ballistic missiles is speed. It is easy to exceed ten times the speed of sound in the terminal stage, leaving very little time for interception. The United States has been quite advanced in technology, but it has repeatedly failed in interception because it cannot move quickly to a sufficient distance and take a collision-like method to shoot down the opponent.

The Soviet Union used nuclear bombs. Even at a distance of several hundred meters, the explosion of the nuclear bomb was enough to destroy the opponent's nuclear bomb. This method is quite overbearing, but unfortunately the United States will not use it.

Because when intercepting, it is equivalent to detonating a nuclear bomb on your own head. Even in outer space, this is quite dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be destroyed. Even if the interception is successful, those radioactive fragments will splash onto your own territory. This is not a good idea at all.

Even so, with rubber shoes, the Soviets are still quite proud. Reagan said this, just not giving Gorbachev face. Gorbachev could only stand up very friendly: "I am sorry that we did not reach any agreement again during this negotiation."

Reagan also stood up: "I am sorry, we have tried our best."

The hands of both sides were held together again. This is the demeanor that politicians should have. Even if they just quarreled, they have to show friendship again.

"I have a small request." Gorbachev said: "I hope you can urge Pakistan to return all our prisoners of war in the Afghan war. This is a firm step for peace between the two sides."

At the end of the talks, Gorbachev suddenly mentioned Pakistan. Faced with such a small request, Reagan showed his friendliness: "We can try. We also hope that the Afghan war can end soon."

Soviet prisoners of war!

In the Afghan War, the Soviets and the Afghan guerrillas were so angry that neither side would take the other's people as prisoners of war. The Soviet army often said that the entire village was slaughtered to retaliate against the Afghan guerrillas, and once the Soviet soldiers fell into the hands of the Afghan guerrillas, the only hope was to die one minute earlier.

However, in repeated air battles, the Afghan Free Army captured some Soviet parachuting pilots. Although these pilots were abused, they were still alive. In order to deal with domestic complaints, Gorbachev hoped to get these people back and give an explanation to the country, and at the same time lay the groundwork for ending the Afghan War. War is cruel and has caused many people to be separated from their wives and children. It is even more wrong to fight a war that has nothing to do with oneself.

At the same time, in the later period, as the Afghan Free Army became regular, they began to abide by the Geneva Convention. At the same time, the more important factor is that with the development of Afghanistan's mining industry, the Afghan Free Government needs more labor. Therefore, the small number of ground force prisoners later were not tortured, but rushed to mine and serve as coolies.

Gorbachev wanted to bring these people back through negotiations. At the same time, such negotiations could not be secret. If he directly negotiated with the Afghan Free Government and succeeded, it would inevitably arouse suspicion among people at home. Now there are rumors that the Soviet troops stationed in Afghanistan have secretly reached an agreement with the Afghan Free Government. If they contacted directly again, it would be a bit ostentatious.

So, on this occasion, Gorbachev proposed it to Reagan, and through Reagan, conveyed it to Pakistan, and then to northern Afghanistan, so that it would not arouse any suspicion.

However, the return of prisoners of war is generally a matter after the end of the war. Now Gorbachev's request is also a signal. Maybe the Soviet Union is going to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan. (To be continued ~^~)
