Soviet Union 1991
Main text Chapter 436: Wrong judgment
First update
It was impossible for a large-scale naval dismantling operation like that of the Soviet Union to be hidden from the outside world. After the White House received the news for the first time, President Mario held an emergency meeting inside the White House. The content of the meeting naturally revolved around the Soviet Red Navy.
Accustomed to going sideways in its maritime strategy, the only thing the United States fears is its desperate fleet.
Yanayev suddenly announced a large-scale dismantling of the Red Navy. This incident also made President Mario feel relieved, but at the same time he felt a little disappointed in his heart. He thought that the Soviet Union would continue to compete with the United States.
In this way, the Soviet Union will lose part of its medium-range air defense capabilities, which will be a considerable loss for the Red Navy. At this time, we are in a critical period of the game between China and the United States in the Asia-Pacific Strait. At least the U.S. government can proudly announce that if China dares to act rashly, the Nimitz aircraft carrier battle group will assume the task of protecting the security of the islands in the strait. During this confrontation, the United States was not worried at all about the military strength of the Chinese navy. The only thing it was afraid of was whether the Soviet Union would take the opportunity to get involved in this maritime crisis in the Asia-Pacific region. But now it seems that the previous worries were unnecessary. Because after this large-scale dismantling of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union's original maritime aircraft carrier battle group was inferior to that of the United States, and now it is no longer a match for the United States.
"But I still think President Mario needs to worry about this matter. The Soviet government is conducting military negotiations with the Chinese government and will give a destroyer, a cruiser and the last remaining Kiev-class to China. We should be concerned about this matter arouse vigilance, after all, it was just announced I'm afraid there is an ulterior secret behind dismantling armaments and suddenly starting an arms business," Secretary of Defense William Perry said cautiously. The arms trade between China and the Soviet Union will always arouse the vigilance of the U.S. Department of Defense, and the CIA will also keep an eye on it. Every disturbance between the two countries.
"How much value does the obsolete armament still have? Didn't you hear the Soviet Union's announcement? The Sovremenny-class destroyers had to be sold to China at a low price because of damaged boilers, and the air defense capabilities of the Kenda-class destroyers were outdated. Even if they were given China and the two sides also need to go through a certain period of running-in, so I don’t think there is anything to worry about in this transaction,” President Mario said nonchalantly. "China seems to be very serious, but two scrapped ships can guarantee the combat capability of the aircraft carrier, and there is also the Kiev-class ship. China purely wants to use a makeshift aircraft carrier fleet to try to threaten "The United States, if this is the case, then we will send another aircraft carrier battle group to form three aircraft carrier strike forces to protect the Taiwan area and safeguard our political interests."
The only one who can express interference in the internal affairs of other countries in such grand terms is the US government.
As for how credible the Soviet Union's announcements to the outside world are, it is unknown.
"But at least we can realize one thing. The Soviet government can no longer maintain the high naval construction. Their navy will reach the end of its life. The Ulyanovsk is just their last struggle. "
It was as if a long protracted war was finally over. In this war, the United States used the arms race to bring down the Soviet naval power. What it has to do next is to continue to test pressure in the Asia-Pacific region and force China and the Soviet Union to make concessions.
Before, he had lingering fears about the Soviet Union and had been worried that the other party would suddenly intervene in the Asia-Pacific waters. Now that he thought about it, his thoughts were completely unnecessary.
Now that the Soviet Union is dead, the United States will continue to increase pressure. Mario is different from Clinton in history. He is far more resolute than the latter in interfering in certain internal affairs. At least in history, Clinton repeatedly emphasized that the United States would not meet with Masao Iwasato in an official capacity, but Mario did not even reply a word. Although there was no official meeting with Taiwanese representatives, China still expressed strong protest against this.
In the changed historical timeline, the powerful Soviet Union has not yet been destroyed, adding a subtle bargaining chip to this Taiwan crisis. The butterfly effect caused by the change in the historical timeline has become more and more obvious. At least it's not like the situation where one side was crushing the other side. China was so suppressed that it couldn't hold its head up.
Considering this reason, President Mario finally made a very wrong decision. At the White House press conference, Mario stressed that he would help China maintain order in the Gulf and avoid large-scale violent conflicts. At the same time, he hoped that the Beijing government could exercise restraint and maintain a calm attitude on both sides.
Moscow heard Mario's statement and expressed great regret. After Yanayev learned about Mario's attitude, he said "idiot" with great disdain. The U.S. government's behavior is simply trying to stir up trouble and conflict. Once an international conflict breaks out, public opinion and the situation will be on China's side. China is not an Iraq that can be bullied. It will depend on how Mario ends up.
At least China still has the Soviet Union standing beside it, a firm alliance with consistent interests. Those in the EU who are watching the excitement may be waiting to make trouble for whoever loses. The United States might as well think about adding a few more aircraft carrier battle groups to put pressure on the South Pacific.
After hearing the remarks of the US White House spokesperson, the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a strong protest and even used harsh diplomatic language. "The United States will be responsible for the consequences."
Another meaning of this sentence is that our country will resort to force if possible.
The Asia-Pacific region is covered with dark clouds again, and there is even a sense of uneasiness before the storm. Japanese Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto has not smiled for several days in a row. If a large-scale military conflict really breaks out in the Asia-Pacific region, then Japan will be the first to suffer. So the first country to hope to keep all parties calm must be Japan.
In Vladivostok, China and the Soviet Union have completed the final handover of warships. After the warships are tested in the military port, they will be escorted by the Pacific Fleet to the Chinese waters, and then quickly put into the fleet formation. It seems that there is no chance for a running-in period, because no one knows when the Asia-Pacific waters full of gunpowder will erupt. The sooner you prepare, the more advantageous position you will occupy when the conflict breaks out.
At the same time, the last Kiev-class ship also sailed out of the Black Sea Shipyard. The Soviet Navy had even helped complete the combat readiness, and even laid anti-ship and air defense equipment, ready to respond to the threat from the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier battle group at any time. Based on the principle of saturation attack, every ship sold by the Soviet Union to China was a terrible threat to the uninformed United States.
A conflict was imminent. (To be continued.)
