Soviet Union 1991

(Second update completed)

The existence of mercurochrome nuclear weapons, known as Cold War artifacts, has always been a confusing mystery, so much so that in 2015, an extremist organization trying to establish religious fundamentalism in the Middle East regarded it as a "holy object" to attack Western countries.

The mercurochrome nuclear bomb is a miniaturized nuclear fusion tactical weapon. It uses antimony ** as the neutron source. Compared with the neutron source used by ordinary weapons using atomic bombs, the volume of the neutron source is greatly reduced, and thermonuclear fusion has no critical mass limit, making it The entire nuclear bomb becomes very small in size and light in weight. Generally, small mercury-red nuclear bombs may have a small volume and area, but their explosive yield can reach an incredible level and can easily kill tens of millions of people within a range.

A miniaturized nuclear weapon means you can put it in a briefcase and carry it to any public place you want to go, sports events, airports, hotels, and if you can, you can even take it into the Pentagon and The White House, imagine that the White House and the Pentagon, which symbolize American power, are attacked by nuclear weapons at the same time. The political foundation of the entire country can be paralyzed in an instant.

Although the Soviets were so obsessed with this mythical weapon, and according to U.S. intelligence, the Soviet Union may have developed this bipolar-changing weapon, Yanayev knew that the mercury-red nuclear bomb had always remained in the theoretical stage and would not be available until it became impossible. After overcoming certain technical difficulties, the plan was shelved indefinitely.

Now, the Soviet Union is preparing to use this non-existent weapon to intimidate the West.

Yanayev is also very aware of the impact of psychological warfare, such as the non-existent Star Wars program proposed by the Reagan administration, which used the space arms race to bring down the Soviet economy. So Yanayev immediately canceled all plans to deal with the Strategic Defense Agreement as soon as he came to power, and likened these projects to be as stupid as the Americans' Stargate project.

"Decades of confrontation between the East and the West, as well as the mutual penetration of intelligence, gave birth to various intelligence spies, which are the so-called products of the Cold War." Ogarkov briefly introduced his strategy to Yanayev, "U.S. People who want to obtain our intelligence rely heavily on this intelligence network. For example, for example, we use our launch vehicle. We have long wanted to get information from the United States on engine technology issues. As long as the Americans know what information we want to obtain, they can analyze some insurmountable difficulties in our engine technology and then draw inferences from one example to figure out which of our projects are still good. It is clear at a glance what cannot be accomplished and what is just a smoke bomb.”

"You mean that our spies suddenly infiltrated antimony intelligence into the United States that even they may not have, and then attracted the attention of the CIA intelligence department?" Yanayev did not understand Ogarkov's thoughts, "This is not the same as Tell Americans that we don’t have fully mature technology in the mercurochrome reaction?”

"How can we make the Americans react so quickly to the fact that these are antimony ** intelligence? We must first start with the two aspects of temperature and pressure. In addition to using antimony ** as a neutron source, temperature and pressure are also crucial." Ogarkov paused, faced Yanayev's puzzled gaze and explained, "This way can convince the Americans that we are really developing antimony ** as a suitcase nuclear bomb."

"When the Americans have almost guessed that our true intention is to obtain antimony ** technology, they immediately cut off all intelligence penetration and put all KGB agents in a state of 'radio silence.'" Ogarkov is also an expert in psychological intelligence strategy. A look at the psychology of senior U.S. intelligence agencies "Ceasing intelligence infiltration means that we no longer need the secret technology of the United States. In this way, the Americans will think that we have made great progress in antimony ** technology, and then deliberately throw some falsehoods to the Americans." The false information made them more and more suspicious."

Ogarkov became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had returned to the days when he was advising the Soviet Presidium. Yanayev had sent away the other people in the room long before Ogarkov spoke. These can be said to be secrets among high-level officials, and only Yanayev and Ogarkov knew.

"At the same time, the attitude of the Soviet government must become more and more tough. It is best to make the Americans think that we will launch the third world war at any time. In this way, the fraudulent nature of the red mercury nuclear bomb does not exist. The goal has been achieved. The Americans thought that we had created this Cold War artifact and did not dare to act rashly, thus giving us a certain amount of time to restore our own strength. "

"It's a pity that no matter how amazing the strategy is, it's just a helpless move." Ogarkov took off his glasses and wiped them slowly. He thought of the deformed Soviet economy caused by Brezhnev's desperate efforts to export oil. He couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.

"These are all hopeless solutions. Our economy is facing insurmountable difficulties. The rigid system and long-standing shortcomings are all problems that need to be solved urgently. The current government can only desperately think of some ways to make up for the lack of time. ." Thinking that the Soviet economy would be supported by oil and arms in the future, Yanayev had a headache. Obviously this is not the scientific democratic socialism he wants to build. The Soviet Union's economic development should not be solved by relying on certain energy exports. The Soviet people have not yet had enough food, the country still has no money, and the external environment is still worse than imagined.

The development of multiple ownership economies, which was criticized by conservatives as undermining the essence of the Soviet Union and betraying the spirit of Marxism-Leninism, was also restricted. Few people responded to the pilot cities opened by Yanayev. He even launched a tax exemption and subsidy policy, but still failed to attract the capitalists he hoped to come. In the final analysis, they were still worried about the new measures of the Soviet Union. They were afraid that the communist Soviet Union would change its leadership one day and change to another policy.

It seems that the slogan of insisting on economic development as the center and the common progress of multiple ownership economies must be put on the agenda of the parliament and written into the party constitution. As long as the national policy is determined, the president can do whatever he wants.

"When can I return to the General Staff? After all, there is still a group of Soviet termites there to be dealt with. They are also one of the culprits who dragged down the Soviet economy." Ogarkov, who was obsessed with the exclusion in the early years, would not wait to add insult to injury at this time. At once, he listed several young generals that Yanayev liked.

So Yanayev knew what Ogarkov was thinking, so he rejected Ogarkov's request and threatened him, "Don't think about the dangerous idea of ​​using the army to control the Communist Party. I cherish your talent, Marshal Ogarkov, but if you go too far, I'm afraid you won't even have a free time as the director general, and I don't mind throwing you into prison at all."
