Volume Fourteen, Smoke of Gunpowder, Chapter 30, Direct Motivation
With the combined effect of the northern cold current and the southern warm current, the regret of the 5th that was about to sweep the Cangqiu became more and more fierce.
On the same day, the Russian authorities officially announced that as planned, the Central Western War Zone, the Ural Caucasus War Zone, the Siberian War Zone and the Far East War Zone began a major military change at the same time. On the same day, a main division stationed in Russia and neighboring countries took the lead in moving defense and went to receive new weapons and equipment.
According to the plan, these troops will go to the comprehensive bases in Kaliningrad, Murmansk, Smolensk, Rostov, Orenburg, Altai Republic, Buryat, Chita, Amur and Khabarovsk Krai to conduct safety training. Because these states and training grounds are in the border areas, most of which are facing Europe, Central Asia and the Republic. Therefore, Russia's move immediately aroused strong response from the EU, Central Asian countries and Republics.
On the old days, the EU and the Republic submitted notes to Russia, hoping that the Russian authorities would act cautiously and not deliberately create unstable factors and undermine peace and stability in the Eurasian continent.
It is conceivable that such diplomatic notes will receive any effect.
Judging from the situation at that time, even if the Russian authorities responded to this, it would not be possible to ease the situation. In any case, after Russia made a provocation, even if its attitude was eased, the EU and the Republic would not joke about security matters. To put it more directly, under the circumstances at that time, even if the EU and the Republic would not chat with Russia in a tit-for-tat way, they would take preventive measures to deal with the unexpected.
Interestingly, the EU responded much faster this time than the Republic.
On the 2nd day, when the note was fruitless, at the call of France, Germany and Italy, the European collective security organization held an emergency meeting of the Ministers of National Defense in Pailin to discuss countermeasures.
Since it is a countermeasure, it is naturally not a joke.
At that time, Russia had deployed three divisions in Kaliningrad, plus the armored divisions and paramilitary troops sent after changing clothes. The total strength of the Russian ground troops exceeded 10,000, and Poland, which was the first to bear the brunt, was only the regular army of Liwan. Including the Russian troops deployed in Belarus and Ukraine, plus the troops of Belarus and Ukraine, the Polish Defense Forces would face a powerful enemy that was three times more powerful than it. It is precisely because of this that the Polish Defense Minister took the initiative to propose that the additional defense should be sent to Poland in accordance with the collective security treaty.
In addition to the meeting, the Polish Minister of Defense also met with the Minister of Defense of France, Germany and Italy alone and made a request for assistance to defense. More importantly, the Polish authorities put forward a very detailed demand, that is, they hope that France, Germany and Italy will send troops to northern, eastern and southeastern Poland, armored brigades and infantry brigades to the northern, eastern and southeastern areas of Poland, and help Poland strengthen its local air defense forces. At the organization meeting, the Polish Minister of Defense also made a request for assistance to defense to other member states, requiring all member states to assume the responsibility of collective defense.
Under Poland's strong demand, the Council of Defense Ministers, which originally mainly discussed the strategic security situation in Europe, became a tactical discussion meeting, namely whether countries should send troops to Poland and how many troops should be sent.
Mu Yong doubted that there was no ambiguity in the issue of collective security in France, Germany and Italy.
On the second day of the meeting, that is, on the old day, the French President said when inspecting the French Army barracks near Paris that if necessary, France will inevitably assume the responsibility of collective defense. Moreover, the French authorities are considering sending defensive ground troops to Poland according to the development of the situation. As long as some related issues are resolved, French ground troops can be deployed within the hours.
As the French President's golden mouth opened, the German Chancellor and the Italian Chancellor also rushed to express their attitude.
Of course, as Europe's number one economic power, the number one arms power was the largest arms power. As early as the early days, Germany surpassed France and became Europe's largest arms producer and exporter. Poland's neighbor, Germany was the most active. In addition to expressing its willingness to send defensive troops to Poland in accordance with the obligations stipulated by collective defense, the German authorities also made it clear that it could provide Poland with a batch of weapons and equipment free of charge to accelerate the mobilization of Polish reserve forces.
When the German Chancellor made his statement, the representatives of the German government had already negotiated with the Polish authorities in Warsaw.
Because half a century ago, when he joined the NATO group, Poland improved its weapons and equipment in accordance with the requirements, abandoned the Warsaw Pact standards, and completely adopted the NATO standards. In the subsequent wave of defense modernization, Poland only received a small amount of American weapons and equipment due to various objective factors. Its main weapons and equipment came from European countries, such as the "Leopard" Concave 4 provided by Germany, France's "Triumph" self-propelled artillery, Sweden's four fighter jets, etc. Affected by this, Poland's weapons and equipment have always been mainly European goods.
After the war, NATO was dead in name only, and Poland joined the European family without hesitation and gradually eliminated all American weapons and equipment. In order to promote European integration, Germany, France and other countries were still selling weapons and equipment to Poland, while allowing Polish companies to participate in arms production. For example, the high-intensity alloy armor of Germany's new generation of main battle tanks was produced in Poland, and some subsystems of the new generation of multi-purpose destroyers jointly developed by European countries were also undertaken by Poland. The front edge flaps and landing gear doors of the new generation of European fighters were also produced in Poland.
In general, the Polish army is equipped with German weapons
In fact, after the establishment of the European Collective Security Organization, Poland adjusted its military system in accordance with organizational regulations, that is, to moderately reduce regular troops. In order to have sufficient financial expenses to form European joint forces, appropriately strengthen the construction of reserve forces and reserve systems, form a more effective war mobilization mechanism, make up for the negative impact of disarmament on national defense strength, and maintain the overall defense level of Europe. Under this mechanism, the key is not to form a number of reserve forces, but to improve the emergency response capabilities of the reserve forces and the country's war mobilization capabilities in the short term. To this end, Poland extended the annual training time of reserve forces from 3 weeks to 8 weeks, spent more than half of the time to adapt to equipment, and provided the reserve forces with a full set of weapons and equipment for the main combat troops.
With a complete mobilization mechanism and a relatively large population base, Poland's war potential cannot be underestimated.
According to official information, the regular troops of the Polish Army can reach any location in the country within hours and within hours of time, and within any member state of the OSCE group. More importantly, the Polish reserve troops can complete mobilization within hours, return to the team within hours, prepare for combat within tens of thousands of hours, and form complete combat effectiveness in Zhou Zhiran. Of course, one and the conditions must be met, that is, there will be enough weapons and equipment to provide mobilized reserve troops. The problem of light weapons is not big. All reserve soldiers have essential firearms. The key is heavy weapons, especially main combat weapons that cannot be equipped on a large scale during peacetime.
If Poland alone has the power, it will definitely not be able to reserve enough heavy weapons.
At this time, the role of the European collective security organization was revealed. Although the collective defense treaty of the European collective security organization did not stipulate that France, Germany and Italy had the obligation to provide free assistance to other member states, in peacetime, whether Poland or other countries had to pay for national defense construction, the collective defense treaty clearly stipulated that when member states were invaded by enemy countries and were threatened with aggression, other member states had the obligation and responsibility to provide assistance free of charge. Therefore, after Poland issued a request to assist in defense, France, Germany and Italy and other countries responded quickly. As Poland's neighbors, Germany and Germany were extremely active.
To put it bluntly, Poland is the barrier to Germany.
Regardless of whether the German authorities recognize it, after shaking hands with French and other enemies with similar ideological, cultural and social systems, if Germany wants to become a European power, it must first focus on Russia in the east and guard against threats from Russia. Poland is a barrier in front of Germany. Starting from Germany's national interests, helping Poland strengthen its defense and resist threats from Russia, and in fact, it is going to carry out local defense.
Russia increased its troops to Kaliningrad, and Germany felt a stronger threat than Poland.
You should know that Germany is the number one industrial power in Europe, and Poland is just an ordinary industrial country. If Russia plans to fight for hegemony westward and strive for the continental power as its ultimate goal, the first thing that will be affected will not be Poland, nor will it be France hiding behind the back. Instead, Germany, which is guarding the gates of Western Europe. It can be said that as long as the war breaks out, the first thing Russia does is to concentrate its troops to destroy Germany's factories and weaken the war potential of European countries.
In short, it would be strange if Germany was not active.
Within European collective security organizations, Germany is not inferior to France in terms of appeal.
Because France and Italy have also made a statement. In addition, Germany is so active, within a few days, other member states expressed their willingness to send troops to Poland in accordance with the Collective Defense Treaty.
The problem is that by this time, the voices of European countries have been suppressed.
.On the moonrise, the Prime Minister of the Republic of China, Yong Yuwang arrived in Bishkek and began a three-day trip to the Five Central Asian countries.
Although the Republic officially claimed that Yong Yugang was invited by the Republic of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, everyone knew the purpose of the Prime Minister of the Republic to visit the five Central Asian countries at this time. Yong Yuwang also mentioned in an interview with reporters before leaving Beijing that the deteriorating situation in Central Asia has posed a serious threat to the Republic in the region and the national security of the Republic, and the Republic's authorities have the right to take preventive measures.
Don’t forget that Yong Yuwang, like Yan Shanglong before, is the Prime Minister who came out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
As the Prime Minister who is specialized in foreign affairs, Yong Yugang's trip is of extraordinary significance. If we include Pei Chengyi's previous visit to Kyrgyzstan and the Republic's traditional influence in Central Asia, no one would suspect that Yong Yugang's trip to the five Central Asian countries was not to implement the results.
Corresponding to the Prime Minister's diplomatic visit is the military mobilization of the Republic.
On the 2nd day, when Yongyu.com met with the President of Kyrgyzstan in Bishkek, the Ministry of Defense of the Republic announced the latest round of military mobilizations.
Compared with relatively low-key diplomatic activities, the Republic's military mobilization is much more high-profile.
According to the news released by the Ministry of National Defense, this military mobilization mainly deals with new potential threats, and the fact is indeed the case. According to the arrangement, the ninth combat unit stationed in the Tarim area of Xinjiang entered Karamay, and the matching combat unit stationed in Chashi; the tenth combat unit stationed in the fourth "fourth" moved to Lanzhou, and the matching combat unit stationed in Turpan; the first combat unit stationed in Pakistan moved to Wozilabad.
The battle units were transferred to Howl: The fourth combat unit deployed in Tuyang said that "Xiaobin and the matching combat units entered Changchun; the sixth combat unit deployed in Guangzhou dispatched Datong. The matching combat units entered Hohhot. Ruian only mobilized the main combat units and the reserve combat units, but the Republic's move immediately caused a big stir.
What really attracts attention is not the main combat unit, but the high is the preparatory combat unit.
For a long time, the Republic has never recognized the old reserve combat units as regular troops, but sent them to the United States National Guard and Russian Interior Forces to similar reserve troops, so they are not subject to conventional arms control agreements. Before this, the United States and Russia could not accuse the Republic of China, after all, there were reserve troops. As the Republic authorities asked the reserve combat units to conduct conventional mobilization and deployment, the United States took the lead in standing up. It believed that the Republic authorities violated the conventional arms control agreement and expanded the scale of the continental army with the secret of the reserve troops.
Obviously, this is not a single charge.
To put it bluntly, if the US accusation is established, that is, the Republic is guilty of arbitrarily destroying the conventional arms control agreement, the United States can reasonably and legally withdraw from the arms control agreement and put all the responsibility on the Republic. At that time, even if the war is triggered by the United States or Russia, the main responsibility will be on the Republic.
Of course, if this allegation is established, a comprehensive investigation is bound to be necessary.
To start an investigation, you have to spend a lot of effort on diplomacy.
Not to mention, what are the certification standards for the reserve force? Because there is no exact certification standard. Therefore, after the US authorities made a statement, the Republic immediately responded, claiming that the United States’ accusations were groundless. If the normal deployment and mobilization of the reserve force was violated, even if the conventional arms control agreement was violated, the daily mobilization of the US National Guard and Russian internal forces would also have the same nature.
No matter what, if this skin is pulled down, it will definitely be endless.
Of course, the key is how important the military mobilization of the Republic is.
On this issue, Al Jazeera, who had been silent for several years, gave the best answer, that is, the Blade Wan army of the old combat units of the Republic's Army was enough to offset the Russian army's full force and make Russia's military deployment of drug mobilization meaningless.
The problem is that this reply failed to satisfy the audience.
Given the situation at that time, what the audience wants to know most is whether the Republic will actively launch an offensive with its world's number one military strength as it did when it was against India back then?
Obviously, this question is difficult to answer.
According to Al Jazeera's analysis, the Republic has enough strength to defeat Russia, and can even easily defeat Russia without external intervention, making this country with the largest land area in the world a history. However, it is impossible for any war to ignore external factors. More importantly, the military mobilization that the Republic has carried out, that is, the ground forces that are only strong, can only strengthen local strategic defense at most and do not have the ability to attack strategically. Because the Republic's standing ground forces are only ugly, it is impossible to take the initiative to attack without military mobilization.
The key is here, that is, whether the Republic has conducted military campaigns
The military mobilization and war mobilization mentioned here are two different things. The scope of the former is much smaller. For the Republic, it mainly refers to recruiting veterans of appropriate age. Because in many previous local wars, the Republic has conducted military mobilization, and has long formed a mature mobilization mechanism, and even signed re-service contracts with most retired soldiers. Therefore, the Republic's military mobilization ability is definitely the world's first. According to some Western news media estimates, the Republic can mobilize retired officers and soldiers of the Bandwan Army within the time of the divination after issuing mobilization orders, and the Wanwan Army retired soldiers within the week. Including other military branches, the total mobilization ability is more than 40,000.
It can be said that such a strong mobilization capability has even surpassed the reserve forces of many countries.
More importantly, the Republic has long completed the reform of the military system, and the proportion of officers and non-commissioned officers in the ground forces exceeds 80%, and according to normal circumstances, this ratio should be about 20%. In other words, combined with the military mobilization mechanism, the Republic's army can expand its forces in a very short time.
It can be seen that within the week, the strength of the old combat units deployed to the north could be expanded to Tian Wan.
There is no doubt that this is not only a powerful military force, but also a devastating military force. You should know that more than 20 years ago, the Republic's Army defeated the largest population power by just sending Tian Wan combat troops. Even if Russia's military strength is stronger than India and has a wider strategic depth, the combat effectiveness of the Republic's army has been substantially improved over the years. Not to mention bystanders, even many Russian generals believe that with the strength of the Russian army and Russia's war mobilization mechanism, as long as the Republic can concentrate about tens of thousands of ground troops in the direction of Russia, it can win before Russia completes the war mobilization.
It can be said that this military mobilization of the Republic pushed the situation in the Eurasian continent to the border emblem of war
