Chapter 307 Gorbachev

The Indians' actions were very secretive. When these fighter jets arrived, they were arranged on the Eastern Front for flight training. Pakistan's intelligence agencies did not discover it. [,

This time, it was revealed by the French when Saudi Arabia and the French ordered the fighter jets.

Fortunately, there were only eight aircraft, and this number did not play much role at all. Mhamad felt relieved. After the arrival of Saudi Phantom 4000, he would thoroughly study the performance of this fighter with Saudi Arabia!

There are still a few months left for Pakistan, because Mhamad clearly remembers that the second** period of the Afghan War was after Gorbachev came to power!

Time is like flowing water slowly flowing. Although the arrival of Mhamad has caused earth-shaking changes in the situation in South Asia, history is still developing according to the original trajectory where Mhamad has not been exposed to.

For example, the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union, whose full name is the Alliance of Soviet Socialist Republics, was formed in 1922 by the merger of the Russian Federation, Belarus, Ukraine and the Transcaucasian Federation. It is the largest country in the world, spanning most Eastern Europe and almost the entire Central Asia and North Asia. Although it is composed of a Soviet Socialist Republic with equal rights in accordance with the principle of voluntary union, its power is highly concentrated, and the Soviet Union has absolute power to implement a complete socialist system and planned economic policy within the entire country.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the planned economy played a huge role, making this backward agricultural country quickly become an industrial country and won World War II. However, as time went by, this planned economy increasingly revealed its disadvantages.

When the younger generation began to gradually possess their own ideas, what kind of country did they see? They could produce missiles, aircraft carriers, and fighter jets, but even bread had to be queued up in the mall. They worked all day long but still could not get enough wealth. At the same time, the privileged classes were decaying and degenerating.

These people have never experienced World War II. They have no special feelings for their country. They only know that their country should have democracy and freedom like the West!

More importantly, the Soviet regime change.

When Brezhnev gained an advantage in the Cold War with the United States, he also made a lifelong decision for cadres. He had no retirement time and could remain an official, even until his death.

The old Brezhnev almost lost his ability to walk in the late period of his reign. However, he was still informing this huge empire. He even trembled in the military parade on Red Square three days before his death.

His successor, Andropov, was 68 years old when he took office. He was not old enough and could still preside over the overall situation of the country. He carried out reforms, but unfortunately, after half a year of his reign, he began to get sick, and finally died of illness.

The successor, Chernenko, is an old guy in his seventies. His grandfather had decided that he was just a temporary substitute as soon as he took office. After he came to power, he almost never worked normally.

The Soviet Union has become a country ruled by the elderly, and the entire country seems to be trembling and terminally ill, just like his ruling personnel, old and old.

The Soviet Union must reform! If it does not reform, the Soviet Union will only be more corrupt and degenerate!

The Soviet Union, which still looks powerful, only its top leaders know how serious the situation is.

It has been 85 years, March.

Moscow is still cold, and the roads outside are covered with snow, and in the Moscow hospital, a large group of people are waiting anxiously.

The rescue continued, and the red lights on in the operating room meant that the doctors were doing their best to save their national leaders.

However, when the doctor came out, everyone shook their heads helplessly.

Their great general secretary, Chernenko, passed away in this way, left the work he loved, and left the great motherland.

Within three years, three general secretary died in a row, and the position of this general secretary is no longer so popular.

Gorbachev looked at the snowflakes outside, with calm surfaces on the surface, but turbulent waves in his heart.

The Soviet Union cannot continue like this! The Soviet Union and the country need new blood and a young and strong leader!

In the era of Andropov, Gorbachev was already the successor trained by Andropov. Unfortunately, after Andropov's death, Gromiko, Ustinov, Jihonov and Chernenko met in private and discussed the result that Chernenko was elected as General Secretary.

What else do they want to do that? The Soviet Union's power transfer has not yet been a fixed procedure! In contrast, Gorbachev even began to appreciate the American electoral system, which made the American leaders very young and the entire country was in a prosperous situation.

Two days later, the Politburo meeting.

"Now, General Secretary Chernenko has passed away. Within three years, we have lost three general secretary. We in the Soviet Union need a young and strong person with the ability to reform to be the leader. We can no longer elect an old person." Ligachev, a member of the Central Political Bureau, said: "Comrade Gorbachev is deeply appreciated by General Secretary Andropov. Gorbachev made great contributions in General Secretary Andropov's reform. Now, he is still very young and can fully assume the task of leading the Soviet Union."

Hearing his words, Moscow Municipal Party Secretary Grishen couldn't help but frown. He had been coveting the position of the General Secretary, but he was already seventy years old. Although he was in good health, he was already old after all.

"Yes, I also propose that Comrade Gorbachev be the General Secretary." Another person spoke.

The Six Dynasties Elder Gromiko! Hearing his statement, Grishen knew that he was afraid he would not have a chance.

Gromiko is now the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He has experienced the Stalin era, Malenkov era, Khrushchev era, Brezhnev era, Andropov era, and more recently the Chernenko era! He has been in the Politburo for many years and speaks very well. In the process of Andropov and Chernenko coming to power, Gromiko was fully supported.

Last time, Gromiko proposed Chernenko, which made Chernenko the General Secretary. Now, his support is very important.

Sure enough, after Gromiko finished speaking, Marshal Sergei Sokolov, the Minister of Defense, also expressed his opinions and supported Gorbachev.

The dust settled and no one expressed any objection. In this way, Gorbachev finally became the general secretary of the Soviet Union and would lead this huge country.

Although he took the position of General Secretary, Gorbachev felt that he was walking on thin ice. How to reform the country was the biggest problem he faced.

Now, the Soviet Union is no longer able to make ends meet and is relying solely on borrowing money. At the same time, the Soviet Union is still fighting on a large scale in Afghanistan.

It can be said that the current situation in the Soviet Union is largely caused by the Afghan War.

Therefore, just a few days after taking over the position of General Secretary, Gorbachev called Marshal Sergei Leonidvic Sokolov.

Last year, Marshal Ustinov passed away, and Sokolov, the First Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Defense, took over his post, Sokolov, who was also an iron-blooded figure in the Soviet military.

Born in 1911, he is now in his seventies. He experienced the Patriotic War and has continued to rise until he was awarded the title of general and served as the first deputy minister of the Soviet Ministry of Defense. This is a man with rich practical experience and superb military knowledge. During his tenure as Minister of Defense, Marshal Ustinov was his right-hand man.

Moreover, the most important thing in Sokolov's resume was the Afghan War. On December 27, 1979, as the commander-in-chief of the front enemy, he entered Afghanistan with the 108th Division of the 40th Army. From then on, he served as the leader of the Soviet Ministry of Defense's Operational Command Group in Afghanistan. Until he became the Minister of Defense, all his energy was devoted to the battlefield in Afghanistan.

He supported Gorbachev's coming to power, and only Gorbachev could save the Soviet Union at this time. Now, the first thing the General Secretary did after taking office put a lot of pressure on him.

Following him was Marshal Sergei Fedorovic Akhromeyev, the first maker of the Afghan plan.

Compared with the Minister of Defense, Marshal Akhromeyev has a richer resume.

Born in Tambov in 19, he fought in Leningrad, Stalingrad, and Southern Ukraine as a Marine Corps soldier and grassroots officer during the Great Patriotic War. At that time, none of the ten soldiers could survive in the fierce battles in Leningrad.

That war made him a firm supporter of the Soviet Union. In later generations, when the Soviet Union collapsed, he chose to commit suicide and die for his country. This was a respectable soldier.

In 1979, he was responsible for the comprehensive plan to invade Afghanistan. This plan was perfectly implemented, killing Hafizola Amin's regime and supporting the pro-Soviet regime. Akhromeyev suggested that the Soviet army should take advantage of the victory and occupy western Pakistan in one go, so that the Soviet Union can obtain an outlet to the Indian Ocean.

If his plan was implemented at that time, even if the Polar Bear's dream had been realized, and at that time, Pakistan would not have the ability to fight. The Soviet Union's national strength was at its peak, so if it was occupied, would the United States dare to launch a war?

Unfortunately, Brezhnev did not agree.

In 1983, Akhromeyev was promoted from general to marshal.

And now, General Secretary Gorbachev's words in front of him were simply blasphemy to the Soviet army.
