MTL - Big Time 1958-Chapter 999 Unchain the shackles

   "It's true, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Shelov wasn't very happy. He had enough money to make a fire, but that money was used to prevent some things and give the KGB a chance to make a comeback. Anyway, I believe that my son will understand in the future.

   Now there is a social antagonism in both the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Soviet Union. The Federal Republic of Germany is on the front line of confronting the Warsaw Pact, and being overwhelmed can reduce the pressure on the Warsaw Pact. In this way, the withdrawal of the northern group is completed, and the confidence to invest in another direction is greater.

In Poland, the evacuated troops of the northern group are in the final evacuation. The last evacuated troops are the 38th Division of the Guards Red Banner Vitebsk-Novgorod Tank, the Guards Red Banner Vitebsk-Nov After the withdrawal of the 38th Gorod Tank Division, the central organization of the entire northern group was still stationed in Poland, but only one-third of the original force remained, and the command department was still in operation.

One after another, the weapons originally prepared for NATO were caught on the train. The 38th Division of the Guards Red Flag Vitebsk-Novgorod Tanks was the main force, equipped with 335 T80s for the main battle. tank. In terms of strength, it is definitely second to none in the ranks of the Soviet army. The dense number of tanks on the train that is about to leave is fixed, which is the best proof.

  The evacuation of the northern cluster has also made a big noise in Poland. Some Poles also came to the train station to watch. The fact that the northern cluster lives in their own country is still relatively complicated in the minds of Poles. There are pro-Soviet people in Poland, but not many. On the contrary, because of the history from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, they always have a strong relationship with the Soviet Union.

  As the power of the Soviet Union became stronger and stronger, this dissatisfaction in the hearts of Poles has been buried in their hearts and is slowly dissipating over time. What matters is time, as long as one country is still stronger than the USSR, the Poles will not give up.

When the last carriage full of Soviet trains left, the Polish people onlookers slowly dispersed and left with a complicated look. As the Internet was spread across Eurasia, all kinds of Polish jokes have been It is widely spread that a negative effect of the Internet is that it is easy to breed public intellectuals.

   The increase in information channels has also made Poles understand the real situation in Poland. Of course, this situation is definitely not friendly to the remarks circulating on the Internet. Poland is the second-to-last poorest country in Eastern Europe, including the Soviet Union, and its per capita wealth is only slightly higher than that of Albania, where the whole country is full of bunkers.

   At the joint meeting of the Warsaw Pact countries every year, accusations against Poland can be heard from various countries. At the same time, jokes about Poland have begun to circulate in Eastern Europe. In order to let the children of this problem clearly know their status, the KGB’s disinformation department also took great pains.

  Why are two Polish workers pushing a wheelbarrow? Because the third person is on sick leave.

  Why Poland opposes allowing the United States to join the CEC? Because Poland is unable to support the economies of the two superpowers.

  The grandson complained to his grandfather, grandpa, you lied to me, I went to the Soviet Union, and there is no gold, silver, treasure, beauty, food. Completely backcountry. Who did you go with? Grandpa asked. Nationally arranged trips. grandson answered. That's right, I went with Marshal Piłsudski. grandpa replied.

Jokes such as    are widely circulated in Poland. Under the conscious or unintentional promotion of the Soviet Union, Poland has always existed as a counter-example within the socialist camp to warn other countries. Don't let your country become as backward as Poland, it seems to be working pretty well so far.

  Vitebsk Oblast, Belarus, is a very common place in the Soviet Union. If there is no missile launch base here, it will not attract even the slightest attention.

"There are 24 medium-range missiles here. After all of them are destroyed, all medium-range missiles in Belarus have been destroyed." A young officer stood on a boulder and pointed to the underground launch shaft not far ahead. "This is also the common goal of our two countries. If the completion is completed early, we can also take a rest."

   "I hope you Soviets don't play tricks!" A technical officer of the US military investigation team opened the diary, which recorded the number of medium-range missiles that had been destroyed in the recent period, and how many missiles were still within the destruction range.

"Since we have signed a treaty and let you go to investigate, we naturally won't make small moves." Soviet officers disagreed. The destruction of medium-range missiles is a matter that the whole of Europe is paying close attention to. The Soviet Union will hide a few missiles and let others attack yourself? Isn't that a joke, medium-range missiles made up a very tiny fraction of Soviet nuclear weapons.

   "It's better to see it with your own eyes. I really believe in your country's ability to conceal itself." Closing the diary, the US military officer said as he walked forward, he must go down the well and take a look in person.

   "It's true, only the stars can't reach it!" The young officer said the motto of his department.

The entrance of the    missile silo, which has been painted in a mess on the outside, is a very simple camouflage. Before entering, including the officers of the two countries, you need to wear a mask to avoid inhaling asbestos. These silos have existed for more than 20 years, and they have been in an unmaintained state for nearly a year. After all, they will be dismantled soon, and it is useless to maintain them. Disobedient missile silos can also be turned into civilian facilities.

These twenty-four launchers were built in the 1960s, and it took the Soviet government millions of rubles and more than two years to erect these structures day and night—perhaps, for structures embedded dozens of meters underground , this description is somewhat pale.

   After passing through the usual tunnel, the group entered the interior of the missile silo. Although no one has cared for it for a year, the entire missile silo is still in operation. One year is not enough for the Soviet manufacturing to turn into rubble. After walking through the now-empty metal floor, going down the stairs, the group entered the bottom of the missile silo.

   The control center of this silo is well maintained. The control center is connected to the silo by a twenty-meter tunnel. Even the launch console was left intact, with the red buttons and other equipment intact.

"Since the mid-range missile was signed a year ago, this silo has been abandoned, just waiting for your arrival!" said the Soviet officer wearing a mask, "Earlier we have dismantled the nuclear warhead, and now only the rocket is left. , the destruction time is up to you, of course I mean the sooner the better, so that we all finish the task as soon as possible."

"It looks like you're in a hurry?" The US military investigator said and observed the missile in front of him at close range. He could see that the nuclear warhead had already been dismantled. Solid-fuel split-guided multi-warhead mobile medium-range ballistic missiles, NATO code name "Saber. Initially designed in the late 1960s and equipped with troops in 1977. The total number of equipment is 450. The missiles are placed on the launch vehicle during wartime and are maneuverable. The range is 50 kilometers. It can also be launched from underground wells. It can also be equipped with a split guide or a single warhead. If necessary, a third stage can be added, and it has long-range strike capability.

   The main purpose of the United States signing the INF Treaty is to run for this medium-range missile with the title of Sabre.

  After careful inspection, the accompanying American investigators nodded, confirming that this was something to be destroyed. The group returned to the ground, ignited the engine and then destroyed the heavy machinery to complete the destruction task of this batch.

   "This batch of missiles has only been deployed for ten years, and it is a pity to destroy it." Some Soviet officers watched the fourth-generation strategic missiles of the Soviet Union turn into scrap iron one by one, and couldn't help but slandered in their hearts and minds.

   "I believe that the country has its own intentions!" The officer who had just started the dialogue with the US military investigators comforted his colleagues, he believed that his father's decision was definitely not to unilaterally abandon his martial arts.

   One month later in Moscow, the officer who returned to the GRU to submit the report returned home and met his father who led the Soviet Union, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Serov, and gave a detailed account of his recent experience.

"Very distressed? It's not a bad thing to know more about the world, how about you? It's not long since I joined GRU. It's better to experience it later!" Shelov poured a cup of black tea for his son, and then drank it with a glass of water. He said, "Of course I know that we suffer from the INF Treaty, but medium-range missiles can only be used to blackmail Western European countries, and they have no threat to the United States. On the contrary, American medium-range missiles pose a huge threat to Moscow. Our geography Advantages are disadvantages in this respect, which is also normal, there are always advantages and disadvantages when something happens, and not all the advantages in the world can be taken by the Soviet Union.”

"The remaining short-range missiles in Europe now, even if they are carrying nuclear warheads, can't hit us. In the end, they will hit Poland, Hungary and other countries, and we are safe." Serov laughed, "If the Soviet Union is a tiger It turned out that because of this geographical disadvantage, it was like being tied with a chain, and now the chain has been undone."

   "I see, father! As long as we have a breakthrough, the medium ballistic missile is not a loss."

   "Well, sometimes it's better to let some!" Shelov was very satisfied, and the spy family became another one.

   At the end of 1988, two-thirds of the main force of the northern group originally stationed in Poland had returned to the Caucasus, just as they had set out for Poland more than ten years ago. At the same time, the intermediate-range missile treaty signed by the United States and the Soviet Union has also come to an end. The last batch of SS-20 intermediate-range missiles was destroyed in Ukraine. At this time, in Europe, whether it is the Warsaw Pact or NATO, the intermediate-range missiles within the scope of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty will be destroyed. Models of long-range missiles have all been destroyed. The chains on the Soviets have been undone.
