Volume Fourteen, Smoke of Gunpowder, Chapter 31, Two Heavens
The international situation has changed dramatically, ※
On the 3rd of the 3rd of the dying month, the Prime Minister of the State Council of the Republic, Yong Yugang, ended his trip to the five Central Asian countries and set off from Astana to return home.
Although before that, international public opinion unanimously agreed that the Republic's authorities would take this opportunity to expand the scope of application of the Rome Treaty to Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, and "sell" the treaty to Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. They also put pressure on the pro-Russian Kazakh authorities, during the visit, Yongyu.com did not mention matters related to the Rome Treaty to Central Asian countries, nor did he put pressure on the Kazakh authorities.
In a joint interview with reporters from the country before returning to China, Yongyu.com clearly mentioned that the Republic is committed to maintaining peace and stability in Central Asia and will not do anything that will damage the security and stability of Central Asia, nor will it allow other forces to undermine the peace and stability in Central Asia.
Perhaps this answer best explains Yongyu.com's trip to Central Asia.
According to the interpretation of the US news media, Yong Yugang's trip to Central Asia must have conveyed the attitude of the republic authorities to the former Soviet Union's franchised republics. That is, any measure to undermine the strategic balance of Central Asia will be regarded as a threat to the interests and security of the republic. It is a direct challenge to the republic. The real meaning of this attitude is not to deter the five Central Asian countries. Instead, it is passed on to Russia through Central Asian countries, especially the Kazakh authorities, to allow the Russian authorities, who are testing the bottom line of the republic, to restrain them.
To put it bluntly, the Republican authorities are already very impatient with Russia's provocation.
The problem is that the two American TV stations were not worried about this. Judging from the situation at that time, Bi Yu Gang was able to calm down and must have mastered the inside story.
Two days later, the situation became clearer.
After announcing the list of the second batch of replacement units, the Russian authorities did not immediately carry out large-scale military mobilizations, but instead let multiple divisions of the planned replacement units stay at the base, waiting for the latest order.
This time, Al Jazeera made a comprehensive report first.
According to the Arab news media, the Russian army did not allow the dressing troops to go to the training grounds in the border areas as they did last time, so as to strengthen border deployment: the weapons and equipment required for dressing have not yet arrived in Russia, that is, the Russian authorities have no way to immediately change the dressing.
Now, it is not difficult to understand and calm down.
As we all know, as early as after the Indian War, the ice between the United States and Russia was broken, and bilateral military cooperation gradually began. The main cooperation model was that Russia provided resources, the United States provided technology, and shared advanced military achievements. Although for a long time since then, Russia's military-industrial system continued to develop independently, the Russian authorities did not relax relevant controls, such as prohibiting American companies from annexing Russian military-industrial enterprises, prohibiting American companies from building military factories wholly owned by Russia, and prohibiting American companies from participating in the Russian military alone.
Bidding, etc. However, as the technical gap is getting bigger and bigger, the Russian authorities have to make compromises and concessions based on actual conditions, such as as early as the Flying Year. Russia abandoned the electromagnetic gun caliber standard under metric units and adopted the United States' English unit caliber standard, that is, the mass of the shell is used as the garrison, and the gang and Quguang divided the electromagnetic gun into three levels, levels, and each limited the scope of use. By around the Tiannian year, it was affected by the increasingly tense international situation. The Russian authorities accelerated the transformation of military standards.
In fact, by this time, most of the Russian army's main combat weapons and equipment were branded with the shadow of the United States. There is no need to say much about the Air Force fighter jets and naval warships. Even the army's proud main combat weapons reflect the value of the United States. Take the Russian army's mass equipment main combat tanks as an example. This tank that was finalized in 2 years and put into production in 2 Zhaonian was jointly developed by the US Chrysler Ground Equipment Company and Russia's Ural Vehicle Factory. The overall design comprehensively draws on the US's old Wang main combat tanks, and some even call it Russia. Heavier
What is important is that many subsystems and spare parts of this main battle tank, such as the Dawei electromagnetic gun, the thermal power supply unit, the high-power superconducting motor and the integrated sight system, were developed by Chrysler. The thermal power supply unit is actually high-grade composite batteries and the integrated sight system, both produced in factories in the United States, exported to Russia in the form of finished products, and then assembled by the Ural Vehicle Factory. What is more interesting is that even the assembly plants were jointly built and did not use the original production line of the Ural Vehicle Factory.
In the words of Chrysler, the Ural Vehicle Factory's production line is too backward to meet the production requirements of the main combat platform on the ground. The production line must be rebuilt.
To be honest, we should almost always talk about the development and production. Chrysler Company has the final say.
This is true for ground weapons, let alone other hanging weapons and equipment.
From another perspective, the Russian authorities can entrust the important task of arms production to American companies. In addition to the fact that Russian arms companies do lack the necessary advanced technology and productivity, it also has a lot to do with the strategic choices of the Russian authorities. You should know that after deciding to defect to the United States to compete with the Republic, the Russian authorities must first consider local strategic security, and the first thing to bear is its military industrial system.
Although Russia has a large local air defense network and a strategic defense system that is not too backward, in the face of the Republic's powerful strategic strike force, Russia's local defense system is unbearable to describe six people who are affected by this. Russia must lead a safe and stable backer. In the world, it is probably only the United States has the ability to become Russia's backer. Imagine that after the factory was completely destroyed in this decade, if the Russian army's standard weapons and equipment can be produced in the United States, and the United States has absolute sea control rights in the North Atlantic, the weapons and equipment produced by the American arms factory will be continuously sent to Russia, allowing the Russian army to continue fighting.
This is why Russia will fully cooperate with American arms companies.
By the same token, as long as the equipment projects that are involved in the US arms companies will not only adopt the US standard, but also try to design according to the standards of the production line of the US company, and even use the US military standards in some aspects to ensure that US weapons and equipment can be accepted if necessary.
Looking back, it is not difficult to understand why US military aid is so important.
Of course, the United States provided not the most advanced weapons and equipment at that time. In any case, in peacetime, the US authorities had no reason to reserve the most advanced weapons and equipment for other countries, and no reason to give them free of charge. According to the official news released by the United States, the only ones transported to Russia at that time were actually some old weapons and equipment with a sealing period exceeding the old year. According to the standards of the US military, most of the heavy weapons on the ground were sealed in the old year. That is, they had to be retired and destroyed after the sealing of the old year, which is not the rumored new weapons and equipment.
It can be seen from this that the Russian military's military mobilization has basically nothing to do with the US military aid.
To be precise, the Russian authorities have redeployed the main field forces in the name of US military aid.
In this way, after the Republic showed an unbearable attitude, the Russian authorities naturally thought twice, thus constraining when mobilizing the second-level troops, only showing their positions, but not taking substantial actions. It can be said that, under the circumstances at that time, if the Russian authorities sent second-line troops out of multiple divisions to the border areas, not to mention that the Republic was unbearable, even the EU would rise three feet high.
The question is, will the Russian authorities give up their proactive offensive strategy?
The answer is obviously no. Tactical deployment is easy to adjust, but strategic deployment is difficult to adjust.
Based on the actual situation, after taking over the main division, if the Russian authorities decide to change from active offense to passive defense, in addition to wasting precious time, it will also turn military deployment into a disaster and make the opponent feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. This will completely lose Russia's initiative. The result can be imagined. Even if Russia is willing to surrender, the Republic may not take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
In short, Russia did not retreat. It just adjusted its strategy.
Anyway, after the Russian authorities restrained, the international situation, which was originally so nervous that it could finally take a breath. Of course, the real situation hidden under the appearance was completely opposite to what you saw.
According to US news media, on the 3rd of the 3rd of the gang month, Yongyu.com was taken to the capital before he could go home to change his clothes, and explained to Pei Chengyi the specific situation of the trip to the five Central Asian countries. That is, on this night, the Republic authorities were likely to have made new judgments on the situation and recognized that Russia would surrender on the surface, but would continue to strengthen its war preparations in secret.
That night, Yong Yuwang did go to the head of state, but he didn't discuss these matters.
The actual situation was that it was not until the 6th day of the Russian authorities' announcement that the second batch of replacing troops would not be deployed and mobilized. Pei Chengyi held a high-level meeting in the head of state to discuss changes in the situation and the countermeasures the Republic should take.
Judging from the changes and development of the situation later, it was at this meeting that the Republican authorities made a conclusion on the development of the situation.
There is no doubt that Russia's "delaying strategy" failed to achieve any effect.
It can be said that what affects the situation is still the United States' military aid to Russia. In the order of Laibei assistance issued by the US authorities, what really needs to be paid attention to is not the hundreds of fighter jets, thousands of main battle tanks, and hundreds of electromagnetic guns. But hundreds of transport aircraft, especially those tactical transport aircraft with vertical take-off and landing capabilities. Both the Indian War and the Middle East War prove that in modern ground wars, the importance of troop delivery capabilities exceeds the firepower delivery capabilities, and whether they can defeat the enemy. It can be seen that the role of tactical airlift troops in modern ground wars even exceeds that of armored troops, and are the number one indicator to measure the strength of the army.
.Based on the Russian army's organizational standards and the airlift capabilities of the US tactical transport aircraft, only a force-mounted tactical transport aircraft can send Russian infantry divisions to the battlefield within 1,000 meters away. If a young tactical transport aircraft is dispatched at the same time, it can welcome an infantry division, or an infantry division plus an independent artillery brigade, all the main combat equipment of an independent artillery brigade. From the perspective of continuous operation, the two tactical transport aircraft can transport infantry divisions to the front line in a continuous and weekly battle. If used to transport combat materials, it can ensure that the combat needs of the division can be guaranteed.
In short, the hundreds of tactical transport aircraft provided by the United States are definitely a big killer.
This batch of transport aircraft has arrived in Russia and is undergoing adaptive training by Russian pilots.
According to the information provided by the Bureau of Shopping Information, the Russian Army Air Force can master this suitable transmission. The classic installation is also included in the latest version of the Russian Army.
.
Of course, this is just one of the necessary conditions for Russia to launch a war.
As we all know, before the troops move, food and grass will come first. If the Russian army wants to launch an attack, it must first transport and hoard war materials.
Compared with mobilizing troops, transporting materials is much more low-key and is not easy to attract attention. For example, in August, the Republic adjusted the military material reserves in the Northwest, Northeast and the Korean Peninsula, which only attracted the attention of intelligence agencies in the United States and other countries. It did not make the news media fuss or attract public attention. Similarly, after Russia stopped mobilizing its troops, it accelerated the adjustment and reserve work of materials.
From a military perspective, judging whether an army is preparing for an attack or preparing for defense, in addition to looking at the deployment of the army, it mainly depends on material transportation and reserves. From a tactical perspective, before the attack begins, it is necessary to strike quickly, fiercely and concentratedly, and strive to tear open the enemy's defense line as soon as possible to open a breakthrough for the ground attacking troops. Therefore, it is necessary to store materials near the front line and concentrate on the garrison of the fire support troops. Compared with the attack, the allocation of materials by defense and
The requirements for hoarding methods are completely opposite. Because we do not know which direction the enemy will launch an attack and when the attack will be launched, so in the early preparations, the materials will be stored scattered and kept as far away from the front as possible and controlled by the defense forces in various places. During peacetime, almost all the troops of all countries are in a strategic defense state, and at least the troops guarding the locals are in a defensive state. In this way, if the Russian army wants to actively launch an attack, it must redistribute materials before the war breaks out.
It can be said that the key is here.
If Russia has the strength of the Republic and spends decades to strengthen local infrastructure, the preparations can also make the preparations more secret. The problem is that Russia's infrastructure is far less developed than the Republic, especially in Asia east of the Ural Mountains, where there are many shortcomings. For example, in the Siberian region, which starts from Yekaterin Arbor in the west, goes from Novosibirsk to the east, and has a thousand kilometers east-west centrifuge, there is only one railway line completely within Russia. In other words, resources produced in the Far East and materials transported to the Far East must pass through this railway line. It can be imagined that as long as the transportation on this railway line is closely monitored, you can grasp the transportation of Russia's materials.
With the Republic's strategic reconnaissance capabilities, even if he does not rely on the intelligence network, he is well aware of Russia's preparations.
According to relevant information released later, starting from the late old month, the Russian authorities had planned to transport military and strategic materials to border areas, especially Siberia and the Far East. For example, in the early month, the Russian authorities transported 10,000 tons of grain to Siberia and the Far East in the name of disaster relief, which was enough for two thousand people to live for half a year, and mobile prefabricated houses that could be used to resettle millions of people. There is no doubt that no one would say whether these prefabricated houses were used for disaster relief, military reserves, and military camps. There are many similar situations. For example, in the name of disaster relief, the Russian authorities took over all hospitals in the Siberia region at the end of the month and organized medical personnel and medical supplies to remote disaster areas. According to the information intercepted by the Republic's intelligence department, these personnel and materials were not used for disaster relief, but were secretly recruited by the Russian army.
It can be seen that the Russian authorities made concessions on the surface, but in fact they are actively preparing for war.
In this case, the Republic had no choice but to prepare for war.
After the meeting of Kojimori, starting from that night, the Republic also began to transport military and strategic materials to the northern border areas. In the name of the northwest, which suffered the most serious ice and snow disasters of the century, the northwest region suffered from ice and snow disasters, and sent disaster relief forces to the northwest. In addition, temporary camps were built in Kūsh, Zhenksu, Yining, Karamay and Altay and other places.
By the end of the month of the mouth, the Republic's disaster relief work in the northwest region had been fully launched.
According to reports from US news media, the temporary camps built by the Republic in the northwest can accommodate millions of victims, of which only a few camps in Karamay and Yining have accepted less than 10,000 victims. Other camps are either vacant or controlled by disaster relief troops. In other words, the purpose of building temporary camps is not to resettle victims, but to prepare for the upcoming war.
The question is, where are the combat troops of the Republic?
Not to mention the news media in other countries, even the news media in the United States and Russia did not report related to it, that is, there was no evidence of the Republic's military mobilization. Although the American news media included the Republic's disaster relief troops, the whole world knew that after several military reforms, the Republic's armed police forces had broken away from the combat organization, and their main task was to maintain national stability, rescue disasters and disasters, rather than fight abroad. Not to mention, the armed police forces became pure light troops before the New Year. Without heavy equipment at all, they could not undertake the task of foreign combat.
There is one explanation, that is, the Republic authorities are full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of the regular army.
As the year of Japan approaches its end, whether the confidence of the Jihe government has a solid foundation will be verified soon.
