Red Soviet Union

Our great hero is back. Back in the Kremlin, Defense Minister Ustinov said to Andrei.

Comrade Ustinov, don't make fun of me. I didn't do anything. It's all because of our powerful motherland that I am where I am today, Andrei said.

Andrei said it very modestly, but no matter how humble Andrei is, in this series of actions, Andrei has always been the main planner and implementer, and for the Soviets, the victory in the Middle East and the Far East have Same great benefits!

The victory in the Far East allowed the Soviet Union to gain access to the Pacific Ocean and advanced Western technology, especially electronic technology. The victory in the Middle East allowed the Soviet Union to choke the economic lifeline of the West!

Andre, you are too humble. Our victory in the Middle East has allowed us to suppress the West in all aspects. Now, Western European countries are trying to maintain a friendly relationship with us in order to get more from us. oil share, Foreign Minister Gromyko said.

Oil is the lifeblood of the economy, and now that the Soviet Union controls huge oil resources, it also has a huge right to speak.

For the United States, as the world hegemon, it is absolutely impossible to compromise with the Soviet Union. However, other young brothers in Western Europe may not have the same consciousness as the United States. The Soviet Union expressed its favor.

Andrei, in view of your outstanding contribution this year, **** has passed the decision to promote you to lieutenant general. Andropov said: Congratulations, you became our Soviet after World War II, The first lieutenant general under the age of thirty.

Andre's original rank of major general belonged to no one before and no one to come after. After that, he used the rank of major general to preside over the various tasks of the Turkish military region. In fact, he was sometimes very passive. The corresponding commander of the military region should be the central The rank of general is right, but Andre is too young after all, a tree is as beautiful as a forest, but the wind destroys it. Therefore, Andre's military rank has not been promoted, until now, finally, Andre has got his own new promotion, lieutenant general!

In fact, with Andre's current performance, it is completely possible to be promoted to a general, but after all, he is still too young, and the current lieutenant general is unprecedented.

After Andropov finished speaking, there was a lot of applause below. This time it was not a formal award, it was just a verbal communication from Andropov, and the people around him were very supportive of Andropov's decision. of.

I will definitely not disappoint the cultivation and expectations of the motherland. The goal of our Soviet existence is to liberate the whole world and rescue the people who are still enslaved by the capitalists. Andrei said.

These words are said with great solemnity,

Ustinov on the side couldn't help but patted Andrei on the back: Andrei, with your rise, it is definitely not a dream for us Soviets to control the entire world, but for now, we have to focus on the present. I'm afraid you still have to clean up the mess in the Middle East.

It seems peaceful, but in fact the Middle East is not peaceful. Turmoil in Turkey, the establishment of Kurdistan, and the split of Saudi Arabia, there are still many risks in the middle. The Soviet Union must not take it lightly.

Yes, in 1982, we will focus on dealing with the current mess. Andre said: The big war will not happen, and the small war must also be beneficial to us.

For further actions, Andre already has ideas in his mind. As long as they are implemented steadily, there should be no major changes after the withdrawal of Western forces.

Among them, the most important thing is Turkey. Ustinov said: We take advantage of the civil strife in Turkey, if only we can control the Black Sea Strait in our hands.

Last year, the reason why the Soviet Union had to strike hard and beat Turkey hard was that Turkey wanted to make a fuss in this strait and blocked the passage of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet to the sea. Although this incident ended in the victory of the Soviet Union , However, everyone is unhappy in their hearts. Strategically important places must be controlled by their own side!

Hearing Ustinov's words, Andrei also frowned. Indeed, it would be great if he could control the Black Sea Strait. However, the relationship here is complicated, and his side has destroyed the Kurdish settlements in Turkey. To put it bluntly, in other regions, it will be very difficult.

We try our best to complete it. Andre said: This goal has to be worked on by the Turks themselves.

This year's war ended with our victory. The United States did not launch the Third World War in a vicious manner, frantically snatching up crude oil production areas in the Middle East, and stopped at the last moment. Do you know why? Foreign Minister Gromi Ko said.

The United States is the leader in the Western world and a superpower. The United States will never see the Middle East fall to the Soviet Union! But now, the United States has actually stopped, which is also a mystery.

At the top of the Soviet Union, in fact, a plan was prepared at the beginning. Once the United States is unwilling to fail and triggers World War III, the Soviet Union will accompany it to the end! However, such a scene still did not appear.

Why, Gromyko? Ustinov asked.

Because the United States has decided not to rely on the oil resources in the Middle East. Gromyko said: The United States has found a new extraction technology that can extract shale oil on a large scale. If it can surpass Saudi Arabia, or even surpass us, then the United States will be able to rely on their oil exports to closely link Western Europe.

This is the conclusion reached by the Soviet ambassador to the United States after careful investigation. If the United States has no alternative plan, it would rather start the third world war and regain the energy in the Middle East. Now, the Americans actually Gave up because they've found a replacement!

Shale oil! The second revolution of the oil industry!

Hearing Gromyko's words, Andrei suddenly felt extremely ridiculous. Isn't this a repeat of history? It's a pity that the two sides have exchanged positions!

In the 1980s, the United States controlled the entire Middle East and continuously increased oil production to cause a situation in which the global energy supply exceeded demand. From this aspect, it hit the Soviet Union's economy. At that time, the Soviet Union's main source of foreign exchange was oil exports. With the drop in oil prices, the domestic oil industry in the Soviet Union was in an embarrassing situation. Exploitation of oil for export was a loss. If it was not exploited, the country's industry would go bankrupt and a large number of people would lose their jobs.

And now, it's the Soviet Union's turn to play this game!
