"If I cooperate well with Comrade Surkov, then there will be a wonderful deception project for the West. At that time, the whole West will be kept in the dark by us." Ogarkov said with a smile, he already has some I can't wait to see the faces of those idiots in NATO being deceived.

He is going to package Iskander as a secret weapon that can disable all strategic anti-missile systems in Eastern Europe.

Chapter 6 and Five: Propaganda and Public Opinion Fraud

Marshal Ogarkov has a very sinister nickname in the CIA and MI[-], "Goebbels of the Red Empire".As the No. [-] person in the propaganda and intelligence war who turned Western intelligence around, Marshal Ogarkov has done a very good job of keeping the secrets of the Strategic Rocket Army's ballistic missile technology. Of course, moving him to the position of KGB chairman will not Where is the difference.That being the case, Yanayev continued to let Marshal Ogarkov use his remaining heat, and let Western intelligence agencies once again fall into the trap that the Soviet Union had set up.

In mid-June, a report titled "Weapon to Break the Western Anti-missile Situation-Iskander" appeared in the "Communist" daily, and in this report, it was mentioned that the Strategic Rocket Army was deploying a new Counter anti-missile weapons to break the NATO threat.This report is only accompanied by an extremely blurry picture and a short section of information.

But just 20 hours after this report was published, the Politburo of the Soviet Union suddenly issued an order to confiscate the newspaper in the streets and alleys. The police station searched all newspaper sales offices in Moscow and confiscated the newspapers they had not sold. .However, many subscribers of the "Communist" newspaper have received the newspaper from the postman, but this trick of the Soviet government has attracted the attention of the CIA. They tried every means and even spent a lot of effort to get the newspaper. .The CIA believes that the newspaper must contain very important intelligence information.

The CIA intelligence analysts who are proficient in Kremlin studies finally all pointed their targets at the report on Iskander. Although the length and photos were limited, compared with other reports, this one seemed to be more serious. Even more suspicious, so the name Iskander officially entered the eyes of senior leaders including CIA Director Tenet.Also let them investigate Iskander.

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

The CIA has noticed that the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued more and more frequent statements recently on the Eastern European issue and the anti-missile issue, and the wording has become more and more serious.Even use the diplomatic term that the Soviet Union is 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 said that the Soviet Union is 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 to increase the intelligence investigation of the Soviet Union's high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and the intelligence infiltration of spies.However, considering the situation, President Mario rejected Director Tenet's proposal.

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

At the same time Marshal Ogarkov came and mentioned one name in particular, Sergey Pavlovich Nepobedime.The chief engineer of the Soviet Machinery Manufacturing Design Bureau and the chief designer of the Orka missile.These are all dramas deliberately made for the West.It is to make them think that the current Soviet Union has regained the top-secret weapons that can attack the West.

The information disclosed intentionally or unintentionally by Marshal Ogarkov in front of the TV has become the key to the interpretation of the CIA.Plus the previous intelligence analysis summary.Director Tenet determined that the Soviet Union may now be developing some kind of weapon specifically for anti-missile systems.And this weapon is likely to have achieved significant results, and it is temporarily 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 bordering Poland so that NATO's reconnaissance planes could find their "traces".

Sure enough, NATO's reconnaissance planes patrolling the Polish border soon noticed the missile positions suddenly deployed by the Soviet Union in the uninhabited plains. These seven-meter-long unidentified missiles greatly aroused NATO's nerves.Just after the reconnaissance plane was about to conduct a more in-depth reconnaissance, it was intercepted by Soviet Su-27 fighter jets in the air. After several reconnaissance failures, the missiles that appeared in the border plain area disappeared inexplicably, as if they had never appeared before.

However, at this time the entire Moscow high-level is still tight-lipped.And Tenet understands that the more the Soviet Union has such an attitude, the more it shows that this so-called Iskander plan has become a secret trump card of the Soviet Union, and it is also a trump card specifically targeting NATO's anti-missile system.

Now Western intelligence agencies have completely followed Marshal Ogarkov's thinking, so that they don't know if they fell into a trap.

At this point in the analysis, Director Tenet can no longer sit still. If this is the case, this trump card in future negotiations will quietly change the entire situation.Instantly reverse NATO's advantage.It has to be said that the Soviet Union's plan did seem perfect, but the clues along the way betrayed the existence of the missile.In particular, that newspaper exposed the strategic intentions of the Soviet Union at a glance.

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

Director Tenet has been analyzing the materials in the office for a whole night. The blackboard is covered with various intelligence materials, including photos of reconnaissance planes, newspaper clippings, important places are outlined by him with a red pen, and finally all The clues all focus on the word Iskander.

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

Director Tenet clenched his fists and muttered to himself, "It seems that I have to remind President Mario to take action, otherwise the Soviet Union will win the opportunity before us. In this way, Bulgaria and Romania will lose all their previous efforts !"

Chapter 6 and six break the game?bad idea

Director Tenet left in such a hurry that he even bumped into two employees holding a large pile of documents on the way.However, he just apologized hastily and continued to move forward. The onlookers were all surprised by the officer's nervous expression.

But for him, there is nothing more important than reporting this major news to President Mario, and even this news is likely to affect the subsequent strategic deployment of the United States in Eastern Europe.

When Director Tenet, breathless, walks into Mario's office, the President realizes that something is wrong.He asked Director Tenet to calm down before reporting to him.

"It's not good, Your Excellency." Director Tenet raised the document in his hand and said anxiously to President Mario, "The Soviets have developed a weapon that can completely restrain our anti-missile system. And this weapon is very powerful. It may have been secretly served on a small scale within the Soviet Strategic Rocket Force, and once they serve on a large scale, it will completely change the situation of the war.”

President Mario stood up from his seat at once, his expression became very heavy, and he asked softly, "Is this true? Director Tenet. Now is a critical moment for us to negotiate with Bulgaria and Romania. Don't make any mistakes."

Director Tenet handed over the document to President Mario, and said, "This is the major discovery that NATO troops have recently made during their reconnaissance missions on the Polish border. Odessa, Lviv, and the border areas of Belarus have all been found. Traces of this new secret weapon were found. But these missiles were secretly withdrawn after the detection of the reconnaissance plane. I think the Moscow authorities do not want us to know the existence of this weapon!"

Mario didn't understand Director Tenet's point of view, "If we don't want us to know that this weapon exists, then what strategic deterrence does it have?"

"It should be said that I don't want to, but I don't want us to discover this secret so early." Director Tenet's face became very gloomy, "They are likely to wait until we deploy the anti-missile system in Eastern Europe before revealing this weapon. Come out, then our painstaking deployment will become a waste of paper, and at the same time increase the financial burden of NATO countries, this is the result that the Soviet Union wants to see."

What Director Tenet said was not unreasonable. After the deployment of the Eastern European anti-missile system, it was found that it was impossible to intercept Soviet missiles. This was indeed a major international political crisis for Mario.

"What should we do now?" Thinking of this, Mario became a little nervous. Looking at the ugly and huge steel machines in the photos, he really couldn't figure out why the Soviet Union could use such a large amount of steel to create such a terrifying machine. of war monsters.

"Aren't Bulgaria and Romania both considering whether to deploy an anti-missile system? Then we will let them suspend the construction of the anti-missile system. At the same time, we will test the attitude of the Soviet Union from Poland. The most important thing is that we want the Soviet Union to draw out this Hole card. So far we know nothing about the Soviet Iskander!"

Tenet expressed great concern about the Soviet Union's hole card. He still doesn't know whether the current Soviet missile can intercept the anti-missile system.He needs a chance to prove it.Of course, he also has an idea in his mind. Since the Soviet Union has already used this missile in the army, at least it has passed the test of the Baikonur Missile Test Site.

Now Director Tenet does not want to spread the secret of Iskander. After all, the appearance of Iskander will cause panic in Eastern European countries, and it will also mean the failure of the anti-missile system strategy.But Director Tenet still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, that is, Iskander is not as good as he imagined.

However, Marshal Ogaryev will always have various clues to prove to Director Tenet that Iskander of the Soviet Union is indeed stronger than NATO imagined.

Of course, before returning from the White House office to rest for a while, Director Tenet tensed up again.The office assistant brought him a report, which was provided by the CIA spies lurking inside the Soviet Union. The report showed that the Soviet Rocket Department had abandoned all research work on Western anti-missile systems at the same time, and at the same time they would be transferred to Other departments work on additional covert projects.

Although the number of words in the intelligence is not many, the revealed content has already made Director Tenet a little restless.He immediately called the head of the European intelligence agency to share intelligence secrets about the Soviet Union's anti-missile system.However, the answer given by the other party made him feel a little desperate.

"Soviet agents seem to have received an order in the first two weeks that Moscow stopped collecting intelligence on American anti-ballistic missiles. Now they have all entered the incubation period, and there is no way to find any clues about these people."

"Thank you for the information." Director Tenet hung up the phone, with despair already appearing on his face, which showed that the Soviet Union no longer paid attention to and lost interest in the US's first-class anti-missile system project. The possibility of the situation is that the Soviet Union already enjoys a huge advantage in this regard.In other words, the Soviet Union really regarded Iskander as its trump card.

On this day, the CIA's European intelligence-gathering agency received an important task.Langley asked them to focus all on the new Soviet missiles, and once they obtained any information, they should feed it back to the General Intelligence Directorate as soon as possible, without exception.Any intelligence personnel must follow this regulation, no matter when and where.Failure to report will be considered treason.

The CIA's method of dealing with traitors is not inferior to that of the KGB at all, even more cruel.

Tenet's approach undoubtedly pushed all the intelligence investigation work of the US intelligence agencies into a series of traps designed by Marshal Ogarkov. One after another is waiting for the idiots of the CIA to step on it.

Of course Director Tenet did not know that, in addition to falsifying intelligence activities, Marshal Ogarkov would often organize aircraft flights, rocket tests, troop maneuvers and other activities when enemy satellites flew over Soviet territory, with the purpose of creating a Mask another activity.Of course, Marshal Ogarkov's experiment is naturally the so-called Iskander plan, but Marshal Ogarkov did not let them see the real rocket operation plan, but gave them an illusion.

Soon high-altitude reconnaissance planes took pictures of the Soviet Union hastily covering up the same missiles deployed in Odessa, but the color of the missiles was modified, but the CIA believed that this was a cover-up.Of course, the high-altitude reconnaissance plane did not take pictures of the rocket experiment, because they were quickly expelled and intercepted by Soviet fighter jets.

When the CIA tried to film it, it accidentally discovered that the Soviet Union had withdrawn the experiment on the unknown type of rocket and turned to other experiments.This also convinced the CIA that there must be an ulterior secret behind this type of rocket.

The so-called result is that the CIA obtained several photos and countless clues.These clues that the Soviet Union tried their best to cover up have become the key to solving the problem.When a steady stream of information was sent to the CIA director's desk, even Director Tenet began to wonder when the Soviet Union's intelligence and secrecy work became so vulnerable.

And these intelligences all point to the Iskander plan.

Director Tenet is more and more convinced of the fact that the Soviet Union has indeed appeared a weapon to suppress NATO's anti-missile system, and this weapon is so powerful that it can instantly reduce all combat systems to zero.Because he can ignore the existence of the defense network.

No leader of any Western country wants to hear this news. Tenet stared at the photo on the desktop, and really didn't know how to state this fact to Yanayev.When he was about to step into President Mario's office again, his feet were shaking.

President Mario looked up and saw Director Tenet who was ushered in by the White House office assistant, but he didn't speak.He just wanted to hear a result from the other party.

"I hope Director Tenet can bring satisfactory news." Mario took off his glasses and wiped them, waiting for Tenet's report.

However, the other party did not speak for a long time. President Mario raised his head, but what he saw was a face that was hesitant to speak. It seemed that there was some unspeakable secret lying in his heart that he could not speak out.

"Huh? Director Tenet?" President Mario repeated, "Didn't you come to report to me the progress of the Soviet intelligence collection work? We want to find out what kind of conspiracy the Soviets have behind it."

"Yes, the intelligence gathering work in Europe has indeed been going very smoothly recently, and we have found a lot of information to confirm our conjecture." Tenet took a deep breath, he did not dare to tell President Mario that this was terrible. conjecture.

He visited the document in front of President Mario, and said slowly, "This is our recent intelligence collection. I have condensed it into a short page. I will report the information to President Mario as quickly as possible and review it."

"We fully believe that the Soviets already have very terrible missile technology, and can completely ignore our anti-missile system defense. In other words, the anti-missile system that NATO has always been proud of has lost its use. Although We hate to admit it, but it is the truth, President Mario."

After listening to Tenet's report and intelligence gathering, President Mario picked up the phone with a serious expression, and said to the presidential assistant on the other end, "Please call the White House Chief of Staff and the US National Security Advisor to my office, yes, The situation is very urgent."
