Volume Fourteen, Smoke of Gunpowder, Chapter 27, Opportunity
Jednovic mentioned that opportunity "refers to the "Rome Treaty" organized by the Republic and Europe.
Many people believe that the Rome Treaty is a paramilitary alliance treaty against Russia. Russia is a direct victim, what opportunities can be discussed? Whether there is a chance depends on what angle. If you always think that Russia is a direct victim and can only respond passively, then there is definitely no chance. If you change the angle, find favorable conditions for Russia and then actively respond, not only will you have the opportunity. It can also completely change Russia's passive situation and turn Russia from a victim to a beneficiary.
What Giodnovic saw was the favorable side to Russia.
After the "Rome Treaty" surfaced, the Russian authorities immediately actively carried out activities. When Chiliakov spoke with the US President on a hotline, Giodnovic also took advantage of the opportunity to lead a trade group to the United States to negotiate cooperation, and had an informal meeting with US Vice President Mrs. Lobrin and exchanged views. It was this inconspicuous meeting that completely changed the political landscape of Russia. When Giodnovic led the trade group back to Moscow, the US State Department had officially notified the Russian government of the federal government. The United States would not recognize any treaties signed by the Republic and European collective security organizations, and would steadily implement the secret alliance between the United States and Russia.
Obligations stipulated in the treaty. Subsequently, US Secretary of Defense Stark took advantage of the opportunity of US-Russian ministerial military exchanges to make a face-to-face guarantee to many Russian officials, including Chiliakov, in Moscow that as long as the war breaks out, the United States will provide military assistance to Russia in any case, and after Russia makes a request, it will send troops to participate in the combat operation. Although this is only a verbal guarantee and the two sides have not signed any written agreement, Russian officials, including Chiliakov, know that the United States will not play with Russia on such a major issue. In any case, Russia's defeat will not bring any benefits to the United States.
After receiving the guarantee from the United States, the Russian authorities were not idle either.
Before Stark left Moscow, the Russian authorities used military exchanges and conventional arms control verification to allow the US military visiting delegation to visit several large comprehensive military bases, including the Sergiyev Army Base in the northern suburb of Moscow, to make preliminary preparations for US military aid and deployment of combat troops if necessary. During the visit, US and Russian officers also made simple exchanges on the military command system and tactical system, and agreed to conduct more in-depth exchanges before the end of the year to enhance the coordinated combat skull of the two armies.
Although these are small moves, they have extraordinary significance.
For the Russian army, the biggest gain of this exchange is to have a deeper understanding of its own strength. It includes advantages and strengths, as well as shortcomings and shortcomings. It must be admitted. After years of the century-long invasion, after experiencing the baptism of the Afghan War, Iraq War, Iran War, Peninsula War and Middle East War, the US military has made great progress in foreign exchanges. It even became the image ambassador of the US foreign exchanges. To put it more thoroughly, the US military is more sleek and better at using non-military means. When communicating with Russian officers and soldiers, senior officers of the US military visiting regiment first pointed out the shortcomings of the Russian army, such as lack of coordinated combat capabilities, low electronic warfare level, lack of air control capabilities, and limited means of space warfare, which is not enough to guide the entire army.
The tactical ideological system and so on. In this way, the military exchanges between the United States and Russia will definitely not receive good results, and may even have a miscarriage. In any case, Russia is a major country with a tradition of rescue military development and a country that attaches great importance to military construction. Russian soldiers have a strong sense of self-esteem and pride. Even if the US military’s suggestions are correct, it is difficult to be accepted by the Russian army. The cleverness of the US military is that after pointing out Russia’s shortcomings, it not only put forward the advantages of the Russian army, but also proposed a way to make up for the shortcomings. According to the senior officers of the US military visiting regiment, the biggest advantage of the Russian army is a strong sense of honor and high morale. As long as the enthusiasm of Russian officers can be fully exerted, combined with an effective tactical ideological system, the Russian army will be invincible on the battlefield.
It can be seen from this that the impact of the US military visiting delegation on the Russian situation is absolutely indelible.
If only some insignificant officers made suggestions, the Russian authorities would not be ready. After Stark left Moscow, the US authorities did a very important thing. That is, to fulfill the promise made by the Minister of Defense in Moscow as quickly as possible, and to send a batch of technical documents that Russia urgently needed to the Russian Embassy on October 6, and arrange a special plane for the Russian ambassador to the United States to return to Moscow with these documents. Although according to the agreement agreed by both sides, after the Russian military-industrial enterprises have reviewed and sorted out these technical documents, the US authorities will arrange technical experts to go to Russia to help Russian companies solve the problems encountered in production, so it will definitely delay until the end of the year. However, the United States' ability to provide key technical documents so actively has made Russia overjoyed, and with Russia's military industrial foundation. Even without the guidance of American experts, it can digest the advanced American technology in the short term.
Of course, Russia needs not only military technology, but also technology.
Although Russia is the number one resource power in the Golden Ball. The resources it has can make the Republic and the United States envious, in the wave of the power revolution, Russia quickly became a second-rate industrial country from an industrial power in the mechanical era, that is, it did not master the core technology and exported primary workers to produce and export primary workers.
For the daily temperature Weigui materials that are of rare interest, Russia did not master the basic production technology until the time of the Chinese era, and barely took the last bus of the first wave of the power revolution. Before the signing of the London Treaty, it became one of the four countries that mastered core technologies. Even so, by the end of the era, Russia still had no mature application technology. It was not until the beginning of the era that after obtaining technical assistance from the United States, it mastered the basic production process of composite batteries and began to build the first batch of controllable fusion nuclear power plants. Although relying on the latecomer advantage, Russia has a relatively high entry point in the fields of composite batteries, superconducting motors and controllable fusion nuclear power plants. For example, Russian companies did not produce level 2 composite batteries. Instead, they started from level 6 composite batteries. But everyone knows that another meaning of latecomer advantage is that they can only run behind the leader, and the chances of surpassing the leader are almost zero.
You should know that the United States is not the leader in the field of room temperature superconducting. Russia is far behind the United States; the gap with the real leader is even greater. For example, when the Republic has already put the mouth-level composite batteries in the high-end civilian market, Russia is still working hard to achieve mass production of 8-level composite batteries.
From the perspective of industrial productivity alone, what Russia lacks is the ability to convert resources into products.
If in peacetime, what Russia needs most is technology, because only by mastering technology can we improve the economic level at the lowest cost. The problem is that it will take enough time to digest and absorb technology and transform technology into actual productivity, and often take several years to decades. There is no doubt that as the war is approaching, Russia does not have such plenty of time, and its opponents will not give Russia so much time. It is precisely because of this that after the Kazakhstan military coup over the years, Russia put forward a very special requirement to the United States. That is, the Russian authorities open the domestic market to American companies, while the American authorities guaranteed to release it for high-tech. To put it bluntly, it is to let American companies directly invest and open high-end factories in Russia. Although the US authorities responded quickly and accumulated
American companies are highly encouraged to invest in Russia, but are restricted by the US political system, that is, the US federal government can only exercise administrative power within the scope stipulated by law, and in areas restricted by law, it must be reviewed and approved by Congress. Therefore, more than a year has passed, and Russia has not obtained the most important high-end productivity from American companies that came to invest. Taking composite batteries as an example, the Russian authorities have always hoped that American companies can produce composite batteries in Russia and allow Russian joint ventures to participate in the production process. However, subject to relevant US laws, let alone allow Russian companies to participate in production. They cannot even produce composite batteries outside the county. They can only provide primary industrial products, produce and assemble them in factories in the United States, and then sell the finished products to Russia by export.
Composite batteries are just an example, and similar situations are also found in other cutting-edge fields. Affected by this, many Russian military modernization plans have to be postponed or even cancelled. For example, the Russian Army has long proposed to replace the main combat platform, and the companies responsible for the development have completed all designs in two years. They also used equipment provided by the Chrysler Ground Equipment Company in the United States, which participated in the development work, to manufacture many old prototype vehicles for inspection and testing by the Russian army. The Russian army was very satisfied with the performance of the new ground combat platform and had long applied for mass production. However, because the crucial lip-grade composite batteries cannot be produced in China, they can only be fully imported, and the import price remains high. They have to delay production again and again, and they have not seen the possibility of mass production until Lixiennian.
There are many similar situations, and it can even be said that Cherwinsky firmly opposes proactive challenges because Russia's military industrial production capacity cannot meet the basic needs of war.
Affected by this, after receiving the technical documents provided by the US authorities, the Russian ambassador to the US issued a plan to liaison officials of the US State Department to obtain ready-made industrial production equipment, especially industrial production lines, high-precision CNC lathes, etc., which can quickly improve the rugged production capacity of Russian military. He also hopes that the United States will send technicians while providing these industrial equipment to help Russian companies quickly obtain production capacity. In order to show its importance, the Russian ambassador also clearly mentioned. If the industrial production capacity that is sufficient to make Russia persist until the end of the war, the Russian authorities will definitely not support the resolutions that believe are related to provoking the war, and it is even possible to protect the Guangxi during the war."
To put it bluntly, in order to get what you want, Russia began to cheat and even openly threaten it.
.
The problem is that the US authorities can do nothing about this.
It can be said that whether Russia actively participates in the war is one hundred times more important than the role played by Russia in the war.
To put it simply, if Russia really stands aside and allows the United States to fight the Republic alone, let alone other countries that have not signed an alliance treaty with the United States, I am afraid that many countries in the West End will think twice about the issue of war, thus making the United States completely passive in the early stages of the war.
The US authorities are very proactive in Russia's demands.
On the 7th of the old month, Duchwi and Chiliakov called again and took the initiative to mention the issue of industrial aid, promising to help Russia establish a complete modern ten-story system as soon as possible, and help Russia cultivate excellent industries,
Of course. The key is not a commitment, but a clear timetable.
Because this is not the first time Russia has put forward such a request. It has been proposed several years ago that the United States should show sincerity in cooperation. It helps Russia establish a complete military industry and basic industrial system as soon as possible so that Russia can be self-sufficient in future challenges. Therefore, the US authorities have made early arrangements for this situation. The US State Department even established a temporary agency that is specifically responsible for aid to Russia, and based on Russia's actual situation, it constantly updates the specific projects of the aid project.
After Chiliakov made specific requests, Duchiwei responded on the spot.
Although according to the American political system, the president's power is restricted by Congress. If it is not supported by Congress, it will be difficult to fulfill even if Duchwie makes a guarantee. However, as early as during World War II, in order to support the suffering Britain, US President Roosevelt persuaded Congress to introduce the Lease Act, which provided a legal basis for foreign military aid. Because this bill involved many countries, it was not only not abolished after the war, but also repeatedly
Revision and strengthening have become an important cornerstone of US foreign relations. To put it bluntly, as long as Duches feels that the normal legal path is complicated and harmful to the national interests of the United States, it can provide assistance to Russia by lending according to the bill. What is important is that Duchess has to deal with several justices of the Supreme Court. Even if he has a quarrel with Congress, as long as the judicial ruling made by the Supreme Court is beneficial to the White House, it will be difficult for Congress to overturn Duchess' decision.
That's why Duchwie's reply was very direct, that is, he would see real results before the end of the year.
On the old month, the special envoy sent by Duchwi, the national security adviser, Bobridge, arrived in Moscow and personally sent the aid plan formulated by the United States to Jodnovic, and asked Jodnovic to inform Kiliakov that if the war threatened to Meijie, the White House would even consider in-kind assistance, that is, to provide arms to Russia.
Judging from the timing, the gunbridge came at the right time.
From another perspective, if it weren't for the "gift" brought by Bobridge at the Kremlin's high-level meeting, Jodenovic would not be so confident, and would not be tough everywhere, not taking Jodenovic and Chelwinsky on the same front as Jodenovic.
In Giodnovic's view, the Republic's win over the EU is an opportunity for Russia to take the initiative.
In any case, no alliance relationship can become unbreakable after signing the treaty. If the Republic wants to join forces with the EU to encircle Russia, in addition to signing the alliance treaty and making it effective, it also has to establish substantial alliance relations. For example, strengthening bilateral military exchanges, exchanging strategic information, etc. These work will take several months or even several years.
Although Chiliakov has long proposed that even without the support of the EU, the Republic can defeat Russia alone and form a military alliance treaty with the EU, just to ensure that the EU will protect the war during the war
The authorities will not make fun of this matter.
More importantly, Russia can completely threaten the EU during the war based on the alliance between the Republic and the EU, forcing the Republic's authorities to consider the EU's security issues when making war decisions. In this way, regardless of whether the Republic's authorities are willing to accept it, it is unlikely that it will take the initiative to attack Russia in the next few months at least within a year.
In other words, as long as Russia is ready before the end of the year, it can catch the Republic off guard, and even force the Republic to respond to the Russian army's strategic offensive with strategic defense in the early stages of the war, thereby giving up the initiative. For Russia, even if it does not expect to win, if it wants to persevere until the end of the war, the most necessary thing is the initiative in the early stages of the war.
According to Giodnovic's estimate, as long as the Russian army can take the initiative within one year after the development, the stalemate period can be extended to about four. With a defensive period of about one year, Russia can support at least six years. Obviously, a world war based on high-tech is difficult to last for six years, and it is amazing to be able to last for four. In this way, Russia can persevere until the end of the war.
Of course, this will not be a war that has achieved a perfect result.
To achieve this goal, Giodnovic also proposed a set of methods, namely, when actively attacking the Republic, setting up troops in the western region and threatening the EU.
In other words, the EU threatens the Republic, so that the Republic is afraid of its weapons and dare not fight Russia with all its might.
As long as the Republic can be forced to turn its finger on the United States and drag the United States into war, the pressure on Russia will be greatly reduced and the possibility of failure will be greatly reduced.
In short, in the eyes of a group of important personnel of the war faction such as Jodnovic, it is better to give it a try instead of waiting for death.
Although Russia cannot defeat the Republic, it can improve its surrounding environment through war, enhance its international prestige, and create opportunities for comprehensive revitalization.
