Soviet Union 1991

Second update

Marshal Ogarkov has a very evil nickname in the CIA and MI6, "Goebbels of the Red Empire." As the No. 1 person in the propaganda and intelligence war who manipulates Western intelligence, Marshal Ogarkov has done a very good job in keeping the ballistic missile technology of the Strategic Rocket Force confidential. Of course, it will not be possible to move him to the position of chairman of the KGB. How bad. In this case, Yanayev continued to let Marshal Ogarkov use his remaining energy, allowing Western intelligence agencies to once again fall into the trap that the Soviet Union had laid.

In mid-June, a report titled "Iskander, the Weapon to Break the Western Anti-Ballistic Situation," appeared in the Japanese daily, and in this report, it was mentioned that the Strategic Rocket Force was deploying new countermeasures Anti-missile weapons to defeat the NATO threat. This report was only accompanied by an unusually blurry picture and a short paragraph of information.

However, just 20 hours after this report was published, the Soviet Political Bureau suddenly issued an order to confiscate the newspaper in the streets and alleys. The police raided all newspaper sales offices in Moscow and confiscated the unsold newspapers. newspaper. However, many subscribers to the "Human" newspaper had already received the newspaper from the postman. However, this move by the Soviet government attracted the attention of the CIA. They tried every means and even spent a lot of effort to get the newspaper. . The CIA believed that the newspapers must contain very important intelligence information.

CIA intelligence analysts who are proficient in Kremlin studies eventually all pointed to the report about Iskander. Although the length and photos were limited, compared with other reports, this one appeared Even more suspicious, the name Iskander officially entered the eyes of senior leaders, including CIA Director Tenet. Let them investigate Iskander as well.

However, everything the CIA did fell into the trap planned by Marshal Ogarkov. For Ogarkov, the media with political deception propaganda mainly included radio broadcasts, rumors, preparations for outdated receptions, and news. press conference. Ogarkov used almost every available factor to deceive the West.

The CIA has noticed that recently, the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued statements more and more frequently on Eastern European issues and anti-missile issues, and the wording has become more and more serious. Even in diplomatic terms the Soviet Union was ready. At the same time, it also made the CIA a little confused. The actions of the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs were closely aligned with the strategic intentions of high-level officials. Could it be that the Soviet Union was now ready to deal with the anti-missile system.

For this reason, Director Tenet, the leader of the CIA, met with President Mario several times in private, requesting for increased intelligence investigation of the Soviet Union by high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, as well as intelligence infiltration by spies. However, considering the situation, President Mario rejected Director Tenet's suggestion.

Later, a small move by the Soviet Union aroused Director Tenet's vigilance, that is, Marshal Ogarkov, who had long since ceased to serve in the Strategic Rocket Forces, suddenly visited the Soviet Machinery Manufacturing Design Bureau in Kolomna, and he said in an interview during the visit, "The latest achievements of the Kolomna Design Bureau will effectively promote Soviet aviation security and make an indelible contribution to the development of the Soviet strategic rocket force."

At the same time, Marshal Ogarkov came and specifically mentioned a name, Sergey Pavlovich Nebobedimy. Chief engineer of the Soviet Machinery Manufacturing Design Bureau and chief designer of the Oka missile. These are all dramas deliberately staged for the West. Just to make them think that the Soviet Union now has top-secret weapons that can attack the West.

The information revealed intentionally or unintentionally by Marshal Ogarkov in front of the TV has become the key to the CIA's interpretation. Plus the previous intelligence analysis summary. Director Tenet determined that the Soviet Union may now be developing some kind of weapon specifically targeted at anti-missile systems. It is very likely that this weapon has achieved significant results and is tentatively named Iskander. Director Tenet called this Soviet plan the Iskander Plan.

Not only that, in response to NATO's strategic reconnaissance, Marshal Ogarkov also pretended to deploy Iskander missiles to the border area with Poland so that NATO reconnaissance aircraft could detect their "traces."

Sure enough, NATO reconnaissance planes patrolling the Polish border soon detected the missile positions suddenly deployed by the Soviet Union in the uninhabited plain areas. These seven-meter-long missiles of unknown type greatly aroused NATO's nerves. Just after the reconnaissance plane was preparing to conduct more in-depth reconnaissance, it was intercepted by the Soviet Su-27 fighter jet. After several reconnaissance failures, the missiles that appeared in the border plain area mysteriously disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

However, at this time, the entire Moscow hierarchy remained tight-lipped. And Tenet understood that the more such an attitude the Soviet Union had, the more it showed that the so-called Iskander plan had become a secret trump card of the Soviet Union, and it was also a trump card specifically targeting the NATO anti-missile system.

Now the Western intelligence agencies have completely followed Marshal Ogarkov's ideas, so much so that they don't even know they have fallen into a trap.

After analyzing this, Director Tenet could no longer sit still. If this was the case, this trump card would change the entire situation silently in future negotiations. It would instantly reverse NATO's advantage. It must be said that the Soviet plan did seem perfect, but the clues along the way betrayed the existence of the missile. Especially the newspaper, which exposed the Soviet Union's strategic intentions.

It was already a sunny morning in Langley. Tenet pulled open the heavy curtains, and the first ray of sunlight came into his eyes. The dazzling light made him unable to open his eyes.

Director Tenet had been analyzing the information in the office for a whole night. The blackboard was covered with various intelligence materials, including photos of reconnaissance aircraft and newspaper clippings. He outlined the important places with red pen. In the end, all the clues were concentrated on the word Iskander.

The mystery was solved, and he could prove that the Soviet Union did have a terrible secret weapon.

Director Tenet clenched his fists and muttered to himself, "It seems that I must remind President Mario to take action, otherwise the Soviet Union will take the lead before us. In this way, Bulgaria and Romania will lose all their previous efforts!" (To be continued.)
