Yanayev raised his hand and looked at his watch. Next, Marshal Ogarkov will conduct a semi-public experiment at the Baikonur missile test site, announcing to the public that it is to test the Soviet Union's A135 anti-missile interception system. , but in fact it is to disclose the existence of Iskander to other countries.

Soon this deceitful test will make all NATO countries feel fear again, completely overturning their cognition, there is nothing more terrifying than finding that they cannot intercept the enemy's missiles.

Moreover, it is still a short-range missile capable of carrying tactical nuclear bombs. The Soviet Union almost brought the aesthetics of violence to the extreme.

Yanayev said, "And I believe that in half a day, Bulgaria will regret its decision."

Chapter 6: The Experiment of Deceiving the World

The Soviet Union is conducting a fraudulent experiment on the Iskander missile at Bik-Nur.Of course, Marshal Ogarkov would not announce to others that this was a test for a new Soviet missile.He announced that he was ready to test the Soviet Union's A135 anti-missile system.And the "target missile" used for the test was Marshal Ogarkov's proud work, the Iskander missile.

Moreover, Marshal Ogarkov specially invited reporters for military reports to record this historic moment.Originally, this kind of experiment should be done without telling anyone, but Marshal Ogarkov specially invited reporters to the target missile to take pictures as a souvenir. All of this was a well-designed bureau.Ogarkov will only let the West see what he wants them to see.The reporter's interview with him was also very misleading.

“我们的A135导弹拦截系统，是用核暴来反制美国的导弹。53T6大气层内拦截弹与S-300V系统使用的9M82反战术弹道导弹相似。它是一种锥形单级导弹，带有固体助推发动机，通过气动控制进行机动。53T6的最大飞行速度达10马赫以上，可承受的横向过载和轴向过载是常规地空导弹的数。53T6导弹也放置在运输发射筒中，从地下井发射。发射后，导弹一经飞离发射井，立即通过气动控制转弯在最短距离上迎击再入的来袭目标。53T6拦截弹的表面采用了高强度低重量的铝钛合金和特殊的防热层，以免导弹被在大气层内高速飞行引起的气动热烧毁。该弹的有效射程达80公里，其射程和最大作战高度分别是原设计指标的2.5倍和3倍。53T6与51T6一样，也装有AA-84热核弹头。但与51T6不同的是，53T6使用自己的作战管理雷达。可以这么说，A135是苏联目前为止，最能适应发展的拦截系统。”

Marshal Ogarkov speaks vigorously now, and the next thing is beyond everyone's expectations.After all, Iskander is a short-range missile, and it is impossible for anti-missile interception to stop it.

Under the auspices of Marshal Ogarkov, Iskander began to launch. As the missile began to lift off, the anti-missile interception system immediately became busy. A135 already knew the specific attack target of Iskander. So they just need to intercept the Iskander missile.

Marshal Ogarkov looked at the busy figures of the staff calmly, waiting for a wonderful story to happen.

Immediately, the A135 interception system found that Iskander had no way to aim at it. He changed his trajectory several times during his flight. The worst thing is that this cruise missile has a range of only 500 kilometers and is extremely fast.Before the anti-missile system responded, it had already hit the target.

Looking at the fire that suddenly flashed on the screen, Marshal Ogarkov smiled complacently. It seems that his experiment was very successful.It's just that the reporter next to him was a little embarrassed, because Marshal Ogarkov had vowed to introduce to him how good the interception system was before.

However, all those who presided over this experiment have already seen that Marshal Ogarkov's intention is not on the A135's interception system. Although this is an experiment on the A135 in name, it does have another layer of ulterior motives. the goal of.As for this purpose, Marshal Ogarkov did not say, and no one dared to guess.After all, this gray-haired old man was once the leader of the Strategic Rocket Army.

"This... how should I report it?" The reporter scratched his head in embarrassment. He couldn't write that the Soviet anti-missile system was unable to intercept a target missile.

Marshal Ogarkov turned his head and said to him with a smile. "Just report truthfully that the Soviet anti-missile system cannot intercept the target missile, and the Soviet air defense system has serious problems."

The corner of the reporter's mouth twitched, and he asked cautiously, "Can this work?"

His subtext is, if I write like this, shouldn't the KGB secret police come to my door for a chat?

Marshal Ogarkov patted the young man's head and encouraged him, "Don't be afraid, just write down what you see. Who am I? I'm the leader of the Soviet Strategic Rocket Army. I'm in charge of this project." The person in charge of the plan, even if something happens, I will be the first to take it down, and it will not be your little comrade's turn."

Marshal Ogarkov, as a wily and calculating old fox, naturally expected every step he took.The reporter wrote and reported the truth, whether it was the Strategic Rocket Force or the Soviet Space Force, they could use this as an excuse to blackmail the Ministry of National Defense for more funding.Of course, Ogarkov learned from the Americans. Every time the military wanted to get more funds, it would advocate newspapers to promote the military strength of the Soviet Union.

Of course, the most important purpose is to make Western intelligence agencies mistakenly believe that the "Iskander" missile they have learned really has a speed that they cannot compete with and intercept, and use it as a trump card to threaten the withdrawal of the US anti-missile system from Eastern Europe.

Marshal Ogarkov is very confident that he doesn't even need to wait until tomorrow to see the panicked expressions of Western intelligence agencies.

Sure enough, the streets and alleys of the Soviet Union soon began to report such news that the anti-missile interception system of the Bienur missile test site was unable to intercept a target missile, and the Soviet homeland air defense had a major flaw.Even Minister of Defense Yazov stood up and emphasized that the Soviet Union is working hard to improve the prevention and control system and build momentum for this plan.As a result, domestic public opinion is focused on the fact that the anti-missile system cannot intercept the missile, but Western intelligence agencies are just the opposite. Their eyes are all focused on the target missile that the anti-missile system cannot intercept.

And Ogarkov is the man behind the scenes who fueled the news.Also the hunter who lured the intelligence agencies into the last trap.

After the CIA received this news, it started to panic, especially when it saw that the missile in the photo was exactly the same as the one taken by the high-altitude reconnaissance plane. Director Tenet finally believed that the Soviets had already developed a way to ignore the defense system. of the missile.

Trembling, he picked up the phone and dialed the special line of the White House. When President Mario answered the phone, Director Tenet said to the president in a sad tone, "Your Excellency, our strategic deployment in Eastern Europe has failed. ...The Soviets have indeed developed a weapon that can restrain our anti-missile interception, and conducted experiments at the Baikonur launch site..."

Chapter 6 The Wheel of Steel

What determined the outcome of Yanayev's trip to Bulgaria was not the threat he talked about, but the failed experiment of Marshal Ogarkov's A135 ballistic missile interception.After the news of the experiment's failure was planned and publicized by the propaganda department, all Eastern European countries knew about it almost overnight.The Ministry of Defense of the Soviet Union has been emphasizing the failure of the interception system, but Eastern European countries accustomed to reverse thinking are thinking about what kind of missiles even the Soviet anti-missile system cannot defend against.

Eastern European countries preparing to sign anti-missile contracts with the United States have left a psychological shadow. Does this mean that even the anti-missile systems they deploy are also ineffective?Just when Europe was wondering, a special intelligence plan began to circulate among European intelligence agencies.The information in it is almost the information that the KGB of the Soviet Union wants to show to Western countries, including the exaggerated effect of Iskander, which can pass through any anti-missile interception.

When Stoyanov saw the news, Yanayev was still on a state visit to Bulgaria.He immediately remembered Yanayev's anti-missile nullification argument.Now he finally understood what it meant to be neutralized.

It seems that what Yanayev said was not a lie.Stoyanov finally realized the seriousness of the matter.He must have a second dialogue with Yanayev to resolve the issue peacefully.

When Stoyanov summoned Yanayev for the second time, his expression had become very unnatural, but Yanayev's face had an expression of "I know you will regret it".Yanayev has the chance to win this conversation, because Stoyanov has no cards to play.

"President Stoyanov, I don't think we have anything to talk about. I will leave Bulgaria this afternoon and go to Romania." Toyanov put pressure on the other party, telling the other party that if they wanted to continue the talks, they had to give up the anti-missile system cooperation.

"Since you have already started preparing to set up an anti-missile system on your own land, I think the Soviet Union must at least take the most basic countermeasures to ensure our homeland security, otherwise our allies will shake their sharp knives while shaking our hands. Arriving at our throat, this makes the Soviet Union very unhappy. I am not targeting you personally, I am saying that all countries that deploy anti-missile systems in Eastern Europe are the Soviet Union’s subconscious enemies.”

Stoyanov twitched the corner of his mouth, almost crying.If he had known that the Soviet Union possessed such missiles, he should not have agreed to President Mario's request.Moreover, Yanayev's words have been put here, and Stoyanov is facing a dilemma.

"The premise of cooperation between Bulgaria and the Soviet Union must be that the other party abandons the anti-missile system aimed at our homeland security. Otherwise, the Soviet Union regards Bulgaria as an enemy and deploys the anti-missile system in the border area. In order to attack Bulgaria's anti-missile system in the first place system. In a future war with the United States, any country with an anti-missile system will be regarded as an outpost for NATO troops to attack the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union will retaliate against it with nuclear destruction."

Yanayev's tone became very harsh. He just took the former communist partner first to make Romania and Poland aware of one thing.The comprehensive influence capability of the Soviet Union is indeed not as good as that of the United States, but its strategic deterrence capability can still make the disobedient Eastern European countries tortured and submissive.

Stoyanov couldn't laugh at all. Fortunately, there were no reporters present, otherwise the Bulgarian president's frightened expression and uncontrollable trembling would have been recorded.

Yanayev took a deep breath. This feeling is so good, just like threatening the leaders of the three Baltic countries.There is no need to use any conspiracy at all, it is completely crushing in strength.They think that the Soviet Union has been silent for too long, and it is no longer the European steamroller it was.But Yanayev told the other party with a crisp slap, let alone Bulgaria, even Romania and Poland, Yanayev's nuclear arsenal is very confident that it can wipe out the nuclear strikes of the armies of the three countries three times, so that The three countries have completely become the Eastern European version of Chernobyl.

"Choose to live in peace with us, or choose to kill yourself, this is a question that President Stoyanov needs to consider carefully."

Yanayev took a breath and said in a mocking tone, "Of course, the Soviet Union did not regard any Eastern European country as an opponent or an enemy. We only need room for strategic development. Our enemies are far away. Thousands of miles away, on the other side of the English Channel, on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. The war machine they have is the sum of the entire Eastern European countries, and no one wants you to be used by them.”

"So we will regard any country that prevents our rise as an enemy of integration, whether it is NATO's eastward expansion or the Western world. The Soviet Union will eliminate all those who block our progress one by one, and it will never stop."

"Breaking the anti-missile system is just the beginning, and the next step is the focus of our counterattack. The Soviet Union will reverse the passive situation in Eastern Europe and prevent NATO's eastward expansion plan!"

Stoyanov shook his head and said with a straight face, "No one will ever want to return to the embrace of communism. The Soviet Union's counterattack is nothing more than pushing Eastern European countries into the framework of NATO and the European Union. Is this One point, hasn’t General Secretary Yanayev seen it yet? You have already betrayed your relatives, and your former allies have become your current enemies. Is there any chance for the Soviet Union to come back?”

In other words, almost all former communist countries in Eastern Europe regard the Soviet Union as an enemy. How can Yanayev break through this layer of confinement?

Yanayev scoffed at Stoyanov's statement. The rise of any country is based on the dust of the old era. No one can truly rise peacefully. Geller, who was killed in the streets of Berlin filled with war and smoke, was not a gift from others.

So Yanayev believes that offense is always the best defense.

He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, the rise of the Soviets never needed the sympathy of any country. We only speak with strength, and strength crushes everything."

"If there is any country that has an objection to what we have said, it can stand up and try, and we will tell him what is called a steel wheel."

Chapter 6 Eleven He is not dead yet

Yanayev told the Bulgarian President with a strong aura and flexible foreign policy that if you are unwilling to give up the anti-missile system construction plan, just wait to become the target of Soviet nuclear weapons.This is the first time Yanayev has shown a tough political style after the Baltic Sea negotiations. There is no need for any conspiracy, it is a crushing of strength. I think you will not accept it. I can blackmail you with nuclear weapons, as long as you dare to join NATO , you are the enemy of the Soviets.

Now that he knows that Eastern Europe is now a group of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, there is no need for Yanayev to be polite to them.Since you can't agree with the surrounding countries, then direct military threats, drive the aircraft carrier to your door, let the carrier-based aircraft directly threaten your airspace, and see which country dares to say no?

The process of the rise of a great power is bloody. A territory as large as the Soviet Union was almost bought back with the blood and lives of soldiers. That’s why Yanayev has such a background at today’s negotiating table and dares to challenge the Bulgarian president. .

"The closest thing to Bulgaria is not Germany, Britain, France, or the United States."

"It's our Soviet Union."

"So I hope that the President of Bulgaria would better think about his position before signing contracts with other countries. The Soviet Union has never had much patience and tolerance for betrayers."

After coming out of the presidential palace, Yanayev no longer thought about the other party's expression. From the panic and trembling at the last glance, the outcome was already known.Yanayev relied on his tough diplomatic means to force the Bulgarian president to become an ally of the Soviet from the original wall.After all, there is a powerful neighbor by his side, and he also has weapons against the United States, so no matter how stupid Stoyanov is, he should also consider the strength of the Soviet Union.

When returning to the hotel where he stayed, Yanayev had been thinking about another matter. During his recent visit to Bulgaria, his body began to feel uncomfortable.Yanayev began to worry about whether he would die in his post like Brezhnev, Andropov and Chernenko.He coughed and felt a faint pain in his lungs.He suddenly remembered that Yanayev in the previous history also died on September 2010, 9 because of long-term lung disease.

But no matter what, he couldn't fall down at this time. Yanayev decided to notify the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, end the next visit arrangement, and return home quickly for treatment.At least before the end of his term, Yanayev cannot fall from the position of General Secretary of the CPSU.

Regarding Yanayev's hastily ending the visit schedule, the assistant was a little surprised, but according to Yanayev's wishes, he issued a statement to the foreign ministries of Romania and Bulgaria, and General Secretary Yanayev canceled the next visit. journey.
