Soviet Union 1991

First update

In the presidential conference room of the Pentagon, people sitting in a circle were staring at President Mario's face. √None of them dared to speak out, because Mario, who was sitting at the front, looked increasingly gloomy. Just like the bald eagle badge hanging behind him, he has a cold face and sharp eyes.

The atmosphere in the conference room was suffocatingly silent. Almost all the top officials of the U.S. government were present, and they all focused their attention on the war that broke out in the Caucasus. For President Mario, this war is about whether the Soviet Union's rule in the Caucasus can be broken and whether it can create opportunities for American forces to intervene in the Caucasus.

The result left Mario disappointed.

"How much strength did the Soviet army hide? Why was this war completely unexpected to us? At the beginning, everyone assured me that this would be another replica of the Chechen war, and the price paid by the Soviet army would definitely be higher than that of Afghanistan. It’s even more serious, but from now on, it seems that Uncle Sam’s old friends are being suppressed?”

The intelligence placed in front of President Mario suddenly gave him an inexplicable illusion, as if what was in front of him was not the Soviet army, but a modern U.S. military force. Military observers sent to South Ossetia also came back and claimed that Georgia was more like fighting an unequal war with a replica of the US military.

President Mario read out the contents of the intelligence word for word, "According to the Soviet Union's military combat plan, the first step for their integrated combat force, dominated by the 58th Army, is to use sea and air superiority to attack the Georgian rebels. command, communications, liaison, air defense, airports and other important military strategic objectives. The bombing will weaken or even destroy Georgia's war potential; the second step is to conduct large-scale air strikes on Georgia's ground combat troops and infantry positions on the ground to maximize their combat effectiveness. The first and second steps have been completed, and the third step is very soon. It may be to invest ground troops and amphibious landing forces to launch a ground attack.”

President Malayo slammed the intelligence on the table and said angrily, "Excuse me, is there any difference between this and our Desert Storm operation in 1991? It is exactly the same."

The CIA was able to collect so much information that stunned them from the news reprinted by Moscow TV stations, including advanced integrated strike tactics, laser-guided missiles, laser-guided artillery shells, electronic warfare aircraft and electronic jamming communication technology. All of this was completely the same as before. A replica of the Gulf War period, just five years after the United States proudly believed that it had changed the entire world's war model, the Soviet army also formed a modern armed force through reforms.

What makes President Malayo angry is not the Soviet army's successful modern military combat technology, but the fact that the United States has no knowledge of the Soviet military reform! If he had the power, he would really want to kill the top CIA executive responsible for collecting Soviet intelligence on the spot.

Before the start of the Georgian civil war, CIA intelligence analysts believed that it would take at least three months for the Soviet army to quell the rebellion in Georgia, which might delay the war effort due to personnel deployment and logistics issues. Moreover, coupled with their brutal style, it was difficult for the Soviet army to end the war in a short time.

The sudden emergence of the Southern Joint Strategic Command surprised all CIA leaders, including Tenet.

Marshal Ogarkov's deceptive strategy has been very successful in recent years. Although the construction of the Soviet army has not been hidden from the eyes of the CIA, it misled Tenet's thinking. He still believed that the Soviet army's development model was to create a " Armies of Doom.” Large and cheap military industry is the development direction of the Soviet army. Unexpectedly, the top brass of the Soviet Ministry of National Defense used camouflage to carefully cover up the Soviet army's reform and development.

The advantages that Americans finally accumulated in the 1980s are gradually being smoothed away.

Director Tenet comforted President Mario, "Maybe they just took the lead in equipping fist troops. This can be seen from the Georgia rebellion. The Soviet army in the Caucasus, Georgia and other regions did not implement advanced three-service tactical data links, but continued to Commanding the army through the old communication operations, only the 58th Army under the Southern Joint Strategic Command is the protagonist of this civil war. In other words, the Soviet army is just showing us their fists."

President Mario already felt a huge headache. The CIA knew nothing about the weapons that appeared in the civil war this time. It can be seen how well the Soviet army did its confidentiality work. They fully intend to chase American troops in secret. The United States indeed underestimated the determination of the top brass of the Soviet Ministry of Defense, and actually reversed the differences in electronic information technology in just five years.

However, Yanayev had been secretly planning the Soviet army's reform plan as early as 199o, but it took five years to achieve initial results.

What kind of terrifying monster is the opponent? Why no matter what he does, Yanayev is always one step ahead of President Mario.

"How likely is it now that Gorbachev can keep his own army?" President Mario asked. He no longer asked whether Gorbachev could keep Tbilisi, but directly asked whether Gorbachev could keep his own army.

"Thirty percent." Tenet said dejectedly.

"This is completely contrary to your original prediction that there was an 80% chance of keeping Georgia." President Mario glared at him and expressed great dissatisfaction with the answer Tenet gave.

However, Director Tenet did not dare to say anything. The previous predictions were based on the old armaments and combat systems of the Soviet army. Even the strategic forecasting company, which claimed to be a think tank of the CIA, did not expect that the Soviet army was no longer the Soviet Red Army of the past, but a replica of the "US Army". It was just that reality slapped the entire high-level of the Ministry of Defense in the face.

"Once Gerbachev fails to stay in Tbilisi, we can only let Turkey send him out of the border area. At that time, I hope to send secret troops to the border area to meet Gerbachev." President Mario sighed, and at the same time he was also worried that the Soviet Union would provoke border conflicts at all costs. "We hope to control the situation within our control. After all, the Russians' ambition to restore Constantinople has never ended."

"Let me say one thing, President Mario." Secretary of Defense William Perry looked around and began to express his opinion, "I think what needs to be saved now is not Tbilisi, nor Gerbachev, but Turkey."

Perry's words attracted the attention of everyone present. (To be continued.)8
