Soviet Union 1991

The third update

Marshal Ogarkov proposed the construction of the Navy Vine System and accelerated the construction of a modern navy only to better implement the Soviet submarine saturation strike strategy. ⊙, the Red Navy Fleet's reshaping mission has made it clear that the "nuclear containment strategy" will be implemented with the new ballistic missile nuclear submarine as the core.

All ships of the Red Navy will be restored to fully cover the ballistic missile nuclear submarines to enter the launch position, and the combat mission of the Red Navy must also be clear, ballistic missile nuclear submarines are given priority, and the entire fleet serves ballistic missile nuclear submarines. Any fleet of the Red Navy must make it clear that conventional strikes are just a hobby of the Soviet Navy. They have only one job, which is to safely escort ballistic missile nuclear submarines to the launch position. The Soviet Navy's naval construction plan is slightly different from that of the United States. After all, their naval construction is aimed at the goal of nuclear war.

Therefore, the Soviet Navy only needs 7 ballistic missile nuclear submarines to successfully launch to cause "irreparable losses" to any country in the world, forcing the other party not to start a war. After using nuclear force to contain the war, "limited controllable nuclear war" and conventional wars are used to deal with local wars. This kind of military construction idea can get rid of the vicious circle of arms race and save costs as much as possible under the premise of ensuring national security and external interference capabilities.

Under this construction idea, the Soviet Union began to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. The vine system construction thrown by Yanaev is a shot in the heart of the navy, and then Yanaev will begin to drastically reduce the navy's maritime forces. Although some people may not accept this plan, it is a guarantee to ensure that the Red Navy maintains the highest combat effectiveness.

"In the next two years, the four Kenda-class missile cruisers, Grozny, Admiral Fokin, Admiral Golovko, and Varyag, will be phased out."

"In the next three years, 10 Golden Eagle A-class cruisers, including Kronstadt, Admiral Isakov, Admiral Nakhimov, Admiral Makarov, Marshal Voroshilov, Admiral Okgabrsky, Admiral Isachenkov, Timoshenko, Vasily Chapayev, and Admiral Yumashev, will be phased out."

" In the next three years, we will gradually phase out the Type 985 destroyers Modern, Excellence, Despair, Determination, and Inspiration, streamline the size of all fleets, improve reconnaissance capabilities, and ensure that our nuclear submarines can accurately strike the opponent's aircraft carrier fleet. "

Yanayev's words were like a knife cutting Smiryev's heart. These actions were completely cutting the current size of the navy. The Soviet Navy, which was already a little tight, hoped that Yanaev could add an aircraft carrier. Unexpectedly, the expected aircraft carrier did not come, but the size of the original aircraft carrier battle group was reduced.

Smiryev was a little unacceptable, and everyone present could not accept it. It was as if they had just been given a piece of candy and then immediately slapped in the face. This carrot and stick policy is not played like this.

"Any other questions?" Yanayev looked around at the silent crowd. Now they were even more silent than before when they were hit. The elimination of more than 20 ships in one breath was unacceptable to anyone for a while.

But the general secretary's policy is correct. The Soviet Union does not need to fall into an arms race with the United States. It only needs to maintain a strong navy and maintain a nuclear submarine strike force that can destroy the entire United States after being attacked.

"How to deal with the obsolete ships, General Secretary Yanaev?" Smiryev asked. If these ships are eliminated at once, they must know their whereabouts.

"Sell them, all to countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The funds from the sale will also be used to build our nuclear submarine team and upgrade the current destroyers, anti-submarine ships and frigates." Yanaev answered without hesitation.

"Ah?" General Mislyev thought he had heard it wrong.

"Is there any problem with selling all the more than 20 obsolete old ships?" Yanaev asked the other party.

What kind of internationalist spirit is it to eliminate the serving ships and sell them to other countries!

Smiryev simply didn't know what Yanaev was thinking. Others also frowned. Is this to weaken the Soviet Navy to make up for the military strength of the Asia-Pacific countries?

Just when everyone was indignant, Yanayev said lightly, "Selling the Kiev-class and Sovremenny-class to China, selling some missile destroyers to North Korea, selling shore-to-ship missile systems to South Korea, and winning over Japan to build shore-to-ship defense forces, do you know what will happen in the Asia-Pacific region?"

"An arms race in the Asia-Pacific region?" Yazov immediately reacted. It turned out that when Yanayev was dismantling and eliminating old ships, he also used them to promote Soviet arms sales. The profit from selling a ship and weapons is much greater than that from selling a Kalashnikov rifle.

Pointing to the South China Sea, Yanayev said, "First, the sale of Kiev-class and Sovremenny-class ships will strengthen the naval power of allies. I think they have tolerated the Philippines, Vietnam and other countries for a long time. The United States, which is fanning the flames behind the scenes, is trying to build an island chain to blockade China. The low-priced sale of aircraft carriers and ships is like a timely rain for them. Even if they have not yet formed combat effectiveness, those small countries in the South China Sea that intend to provoke will have to weigh the power of anti-ship missiles. And if China is defeated in the maritime dispute, the Soviet Union may really have no ally who can speak in the international community."

Among the five permanent members of the Security Council, Britain and the United States are a hardcore alliance, China and the Soviet Union are red allies, and only one, France, has always been in a status of being on the wall.

"The second is South Korea and North Korea. No matter how they sell arms, their military strength will be maintained on the knife-edge balance of the Korean Peninsula, and the only countries that generate income are us, the forces behind it. Finally, there is Japan, which sells some outdated models To Japan, do you think there will be any change in the dispute situation in the Southern Kuril Islands? No, if they really want to take action, then we can tolerate the cost of losing one ship, but the price paid by Japan is the entire country. "

With heavy breathing, Yanayev ended the meeting. At this time, he almost understood what should be understood. He reluctantly accepted Yanayev's reform plan, accepting that the number has been streamlined, but the strength is still great. The greatly improved Soviet Red Navy.

"So, are there any questions now?" (To be continued.)
