Red Soviet Union

Chapter 45: leapfrog promotion

The headquarters of the Far East Military Region is located in Khabarovsk, the capital of the Khabarovsk Territory, hundreds of kilometers away from Sokolovka. Even Andrei did not expect that the commander of the military region actually came directly to his own field airport. inside.

What are they here for? Must be for the wreckage of the MiG-25, right? Of course, Andrei knew how serious Belenko's defection was, and now even the Soviet General Secretary, Brezhnev, knew it.

"The hero in front of us is the hero of our Far East Military Region." Lieutenant General Constantine said, his eyes were very large, and he stared at Andrei with piercing energy, obviously proud of having such a fierce general under his own team. .

"Lieutenant Colonel Andrei, you shot down Belenko with your own hands, so that the secrets of our advanced fighter planes were not leaked to the Americans. On behalf of the entire military region, I will commend you for your wit and bravery!" Trechiyang said the general.

Lieutenant Colonel? Andre was stunned for a moment. His rank is captain, and he was only promoted recently. How can he become a lieutenant colonel now?

"Andre, in view of your heroic performance, your superiors have upgraded your rank to lieutenant colonel, and your position has also been promoted to the third brigade captain of the 513 aviation regiment and the deputy captain of the aviation regiment." Kuozhidu beside him Bu said.

Deputy Head? Captain? Andrei felt like he was in a dream. He was arrested by the KGB in the middle of the night last night. He almost put a hat on himself for treason and brought him to Moscow to be tried. Now, he is riding a rocket. , became a lieutenant colonel!

Although Andre was very capable and shot down American fighter planes, during the Cold War, Andre can be said to be the only pilot in the entire aviation force who shot down American fighter planes. From this point of view, as long as Moscow is not afraid of causing trouble for itself , it is time to improve yourself. However, Andre was always a little uneasy.

Andre faintly felt that a small person like himself might be caught in a huge whirlpool. In the current situation, there is only one possibility, a power competition between high-level officials! The KGB has to fight for itself, and the military has to protect itself, and treat itself as a political arena.

Thinking of this, Andre felt that his head was too big. No matter who he was, he could knead himself at will!

"Andre, Andre." At this moment, kind words came from his ears, and Andre came back to his senses, looking at Kojidubu with a smile on his face: "You Please recount to the commander what happened when Belenko was shot down."

"Yes." Andre repeated in detail.

The two commanders came together, obviously not only to bring news of the promotion to Andre, but also to understand what happened at that time and determine the follow-up of this incident. After all, this is related to the strategic actions of the entire military region. If the incident If it is not handled well, either the secrets of the MiG-25 fighter jets are leaked, or a war with the United States breaks out, and the cold war turns into a hot war.

No matter what kind of situation, the two commanders of the military region can't bear it. The pressure is very high, and they will come to the front line to learn more about the situation at that time.

After listening to Andre's report, the two frowned: "So, that MiG-25 didn't explode before it fell into the sea?"

"Yes, I wanted to fire another missile at the time, but unfortunately the Americans came so quickly that I was caught in a fight with the American fighter jets," Andre replied.

"Now, the Americans are definitely trying to salvage that fighter. It's only a hundred nautical miles from Hokkaido. We are very passive." Lieutenant General Constantine said: "The MiG-25 is our most advanced interceptor. Let the Americans get our fighter jets, even the wreckage!"

"Report, the photo of the reconnaissance plane has been developed." At this moment, a military staff officer walked in and said to the two.

After the MiG-25RB returned, the negatives in the camera were taken and washed. Now, the photos that have been developed are placed in front of the two commanders.

"It seems that the Americans are indeed going to salvage." Admiral Trechianko frowned when he looked at the salvage and survey boats clearly shown in the photo.

"We have also observed the movements of the U.S. Navy. The Seventh Fleet of the Navy stationed at the Port of Yokosuka has dispatched two warships."

Obviously, the reconnaissance of the two MiG-25s just now made the Americans even more anxious. In order to prevent the Soviet Union from intervening, they even dispatched the fleet.

"Is the aircraft carrier dispatched?" Andre asked suddenly.

Although Andre's interjection made the staff officer very upset, the staff officer saw that Andre's rank was only captain. How could he intervene in such a place? However, the commanders were all there, and the staff officer could only answer: "No, the Seventh Fleet has not dispatched an aircraft carrier for the time being. They should have dispatched a Keeling-class destroyer and a frigate of unknown type."

For Andre, the only enemy of the MiG-25 is the F-14 Tomcat, the US Navy's variable-sweep-wing fighter. With controlled variable swept wings, this fighter has excellent performance in high, medium and low altitude full airspace, unlike the MiG-25, which only pays attention to high-altitude and high-speed performance. Moreover, this fighter can also carry Phoenix missiles, long-range heavy missiles that climb to 28,000 kilometers after launch, capable of shooting down MiG-25s.

Hearing the other party say this~www.readwn.com~ Andre remembered that the aircraft carrier of the Seventh Fleet is the Midway Island. This aircraft carrier does not stay in its home port almost all the year round. In recent years, the Vietnam War of the United States has involved Due to the huge military strength of the United States, the USS Midway has been carrying out military strikes against Vietnam until the end of the Vietnam War last year.

This aircraft carrier, which only served in 45 years, is a typical aircraft carrier of the World War II era. Following the rectangular right-angle flight deck similar to the Essex class, with an open bow, it could accommodate more than 100 aircraft at that time, including the F-6F-5N Hellcat fighter, F-4U-B Corsair fighter and attack aircraft and World War II. The AD-1 Skyraider was launched later.

Later, although it has undergone several modern modifications, it has an angled deck and its appearance is also modernized. However, after all, the foundation is there, and the operation is very difficult, especially the F-14A Tomcat large ship fighters that appeared in the late 1970s cannot be operated on the Midway class; fortunately, this class of ships can still use A-6 attack aircraft and The F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets that appeared in the 1980s would have been shelved otherwise.

Unless the Americans send a new aircraft carrier, the MiG-25 will not encounter the threat of the Tomcat fighter.

In fact, for the Sea of ​​Japan, which is not too wide, land-based fighter jets can fly into the airspace of the other party, and if the aircraft carrier is active in the Sea of ​​Japan, it will be threatened by land-based bombers, so the aircraft carrier deployed by the United States here, It was not intended to be used to deter the Soviets on the opposite side.

Since there are only two surface ships, the situation has not deteriorated to the point where it can no longer be managed. There is still hope for our side.
