Soviet Union 1991

First update

If there are no problems with the IQ of the members of Congress, Panetta's proposal will never be passed. Congressmen will only consider how to maximize the interests of the United States. They will never think about what political status the United States will be in twenty years. , nor would they have thought of what kind of terrifying fleet there would be in the Asia-Pacific region in the future, recruiting troops and liaising with allies to threaten the United States' maritime dominance.

So so far, the person who proposed this plan is simply betraying the United States in the eyes of others, and can be labeled as a communist spy. Then thrown into the CIA review department for interrogation. Although Panetta's considerations were far-reaching enough and he realized the importance of maritime strategic deployment, he forgot the most important thing. Joining the International Maritime Convention Organization now is equivalent to cutting off some of the interests of the United States. The power behind Congress The big business groups will certainly not tolerate this decision.

If President Mario wants Congress to pass a proposal, he must first test the tone of the members of Congress. Of course, the result of the feedback is that the vast majority of members disapprove, some of them are neutral, and only a small group is opposed to the United States joining the United Nations Law of the Sea. Convention expressed interest.

Among them, Congressman John Boehner from Tennessee threw the provisional proposal into the trash can and mocked it with disdain as the worst proposal he had ever seen, bar none. It's a shame they can think of using the interests of the United States to cater to other countries.

He also complained that the 12-nautical mile jurisdiction principle and the exclusive economic rights of 200 nautical miles of coastline mean that American companies will be greatly restricted if they want to engage in certain gray industries that can bring huge profits, and the United States is now the number one at sea. A strong country does not need to be bound by the rules of other countries.

When the situation is not conducive to itself, it can accuse and require the other party to engage in dialogue in accordance with the UNCLOS management regulations. When the situation is beneficial to itself, the United States states that it has not signed the UNCLOS and does not need to be responsible for this. All in all, the international convention is more like a farce controlled by the United States.

Regarding the attitude of the International Maritime Convention Act, the Soviet Union and the United States are completely opposite. Yanayev actively promoted the development of the Maritime Convention Agreement and better participated in international affairs of the earth's oceans.

For Yanayev, while maintaining the original balance of strategic focus in Europe, attention began to slowly shift toward the Asia-Pacific region. Europe, whose economy continues to be sluggish, at least gave Yanayev a temporary sigh of relief. In the same way, the military gradually developed from land power to maritime power.

Similarly, the chain reaction brought about by the awakening of maritime power is huge. Today, when the army is being continuously reduced in number, the navy still maintains a certain momentum and is developing rapidly. Historically, the Vine system built by Russia had a total of four satellites, namely two Peony and two Lotus satellites. They were able to conduct real-time monitoring of enemy targets such as aircraft, ships, and cars. The coordinates of enemy targets will be transmitted to the command post, where a real-time simulation map will be formed. In the event of war, these targets can be struck with high precision. In fact, the working principle of the American satellite reconnaissance system is similar to this, but it is composed of nearly 100 kh11 and kh12 satellites that have been working in space orbit for about 20 years.

The current Soviet Union is not like Russia after its disintegration in history. Although the deployment of reconnaissance satellites was launched in the 1990s, the latter did not launch its first satellite until 2007 due to insufficient funds. At least the Soviet Union can launch its first reconnaissance satellite around July this year. Then replace the previous myth-Earth satellite system. After all, by 1996, only three US-P satellites were still functioning normally. Once these three satellites died, all satellites of the Soviet Union's maritime satellite reconnaissance system would have become ineffective, and its ability to monitor U.S. aircraft carriers would also be completely lost.

This is also the reason why Yanayev accelerated the construction of the satellite system. From GLONASS to the Vine system, the Soviet army was dismantling its troops and eliminating old weapons and equipment. On the other hand, it did not stop developing technology industries and strived to From the late 1990s to the early 21st century, the Soviet army could be put on the track for modernization and informatization.

In addition to the Minister of Defense and senior figures of the Soviet General Staff, this meeting was attended by the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. Generally, if these people can be brought together, there must be something major to announce.

Of course, they were still waiting for extremely exciting news. The Soviet government was preparing to increase the budget of the Ministry of Defense, build a vine system, and continue to deepen the Soviet Union's detection methods for US aircraft carrier battle groups.

Smiryev smelled an ominous premonition, as if Yanayev, who had previously promised not to engage in an arms race with the United States, had raised the topic of an arms race again. So he was the first to express his opinion, "With all due respect, General Secretary Yanayev, why do we develop monitoring methods for US aircraft carriers while eliminating ships? From a rational and emotional point of view, this It’s not scientific.”

"Comrade Smiryev, since 1975, our navy has established a four-dimensional three-dimensional monitoring network integrating land, sea, air and space in order to prevent and attack US aircraft carrier battle groups. However, at present, the Soviet Union's satellite reconnaissance system for US aircraft carriers is almost the same. Close to failure, right?”

"Yes." Smiryev admitted, "If the provocation of 1981 were repeated again, I'm afraid it would have the same embarrassing ending as before. The first two conflicts were a matter of luck. Hawthorn Flower happened to detect the US aircraft carrier battle. The other time is that the United States took advantage of our weak military strength to deliberately show off their strength in front of us. Generally speaking, our Red Navy Pacific Fleet is still slightly inferior."

Smiryev's words made the army marshals present slightly stunned. The success of the two previous battles made them mistakenly believe that although there was a certain gap between the Soviet Navy and the United States, they did not expect that those two successes were actually due to luck.

"Well, that's why I summoned you." Yanayev said, "Now you know the gap between us and the Americans. This time the Ministry of Defense's budget will make further improvements to our reconnaissance system. Make rectifications to ensure that the location of the US aircraft carrier battle group can be detected as soon as possible, and then deploy as quickly as possible to form a deterrent force against the aircraft carrier battle group and force the opponent to leave as soon as possible. "

Yanayev sighed, "The Asia-Pacific region in 1996 is destined to not be peaceful."

Is the Asia-Pacific region destined to never be calm?

Everyone present felt an inexplicable pressure. (To be continued.)
