Chapter 1107 Preparing for Battle
In fact, according to original history, Marshal Ustinov should have passed away at the end of this year. Of course Bao Zixuan didn't want this to happen, so he sent some supplements to the old coach if nothing happened, and even asked little Ustinov to be taken to the hospital for regular check-ups. The Soviet Union currently adopts a lifelong system for leading cadres. As long as the old man survives and is still capable of action, he will be the Soviet Minister of Defense.
The Soviet Ministry of Defense has a strong say in the country, at least it can make the final decision on troop mobilization and weapons sales. Bao Zixuan wanted to resolve the matter in a short time, otherwise Gorbachev would come to power. The status and power of the Soviet Ministry of Defense have declined, and it is not that easy to do something.
Zhang Zhan went down to prepare, and Bao Zixuan called, and little Ustinov flew from the Soviet Union to the Middle East again. This Soviet Army Lieutenant General is a general who can only be called upon by the richest man. However, although he was not particularly clear about Bao Zixuan asking him to come to Fucaira, he still came directly without any hesitation.
So far, Bao Zixuan has never tricked him. Every time I call him, there are huge benefits. I went to Kuwait not long ago. The entire Ustinov family received US$100 million, which also made him feel that doing business with the Arabs in the Middle East was profitable. Previously, Soviet weapons were sold to Warsaw Pact countries, and there was basically no profit. Moreover, the other party also has to pay in installments, earning at most one hard-earned money.
Fucaira may not have money, but Bao Zixuan does! Moreover, he had heard something about this boy's affair with Princess Sala. Call him over at this time, there must be something important to discuss. It must be an arms business, which also means huge profits.
I called this guy over in the morning, and he was already in Fucaira in the evening. I don't know if the general is too leisurely or if he doesn't dare to neglect Bao Shaofu's affairs. It is estimated that the latter is more likely.
Little Ustinov smiled and said: "Bao, I'm so happy to see you. There is an old saying in China, which is that a day without seeing you is like three autumns. It feels like this is the feeling between us."
Unexpectedly, the other party began to learn Chinese culture, maybe it was also because of his influence. But this is good, at least it will be more convenient for both parties to communicate. Understanding cultural traditions is the most basic form of respect.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I need your help with something this time, and apart from you, I really can't find a more suitable person in this world."
Hearing that he was so important, little Ustinov really didn't know what to say. Is it really that important? Even I may be skeptical at this time.
But since Bao Zixuan said this, there must be truth to it. This kid is younger than him, but he can see things more clearly, which he can't even catch up with.
Ustinov Jr. said very seriously: "It doesn't have to be like this between us. I will do whatever I can do; I will try my best to complete whatever I can't."
Whether it is sincere or false! These words were still very comfortable to hear. It seemed that this boy had already understood the essence of Chinese culture.
Bao Zixuan smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be so serious. It's also a good thing for you, and it also leaves a way out for us."
"You know what the Soviet Union is like now even if I don't tell you. There will definitely be problems in the future. Gorbachev is not capable, but his ambition is not small. Once such a person becomes the top leader of the country, he will inevitably bring down the entire country. The country has been plunged into an abyss. But not only you, but even Comrade Minister of Defense cannot prevent Gorbachev from becoming the supreme leader. There has been a consensus in the Soviet Union that if anyone dares to oppose it, it is no different from treason."
"If there is a problem in the country, as a senior general of the army, he will be the first to bear the brunt."
"Actually, I am not just a soldier, I am also the same. It doesn't matter if I am rich enough to rival the country. After all, it is not a country. The British Falklands War requires military expenditures, so I will buy 1 billion pounds of war bonds. Do you think I personally like to spend this money? But there is absolutely no way.”
"Only having land that belongs entirely to one's own can make people feel at ease. Although Fucaira is a small country, it is still a country. With my financial resources and your connections in the Soviet military, it should be very powerful. easy."
"As long as you don't dislike it, I will reserve the position of Minister of Defense or Commander-in-Chief of the Army for you. Once there are any changes in the Soviet Union, it will at least be a way out."
"I'm not good at fighting. After all, I haven't studied in a formal military school, and I have no front-line command or service experience. Moreover, the entire Heiyun Group cannot find a retired employee of a senior military general; currently, the person in charge of my security department is only the deputy company commander. Change jobs. But there is no other way but to let him take the lead first."
"As far as I know, you are a top student at the Frunze Military Academy, and you also served as a military consultant in Vietnam. Before being transferred to the logistics department, you served as the commander of the Armored Division."
"If it weren't for the need to communicate frequently with the Heiyun Group, I estimate that you would be able to achieve the position of military commander or even commander of a military region by now."
The Frunze Military Academy was a higher military school in the Soviet Union that trained officers of the combined army of all arms. It was a scientific research center that studied contract combat of all arms and group army campaigns. The school is located in Moscow. According to Lenin's instructions, it was founded under the order of the Revolutionary Military Commission of the Republic on October 7, 1918. It was called the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army General Staff College. It aimed to cultivate command cadres with high military education from workers and peasants.
In the decades since its establishment, the Frunze Military Academy has trained a large number of military talents for the Soviet armed forces. Its graduates have become the backbone of the Soviet army and played a huge role in war and peace. Therefore, Frunze Military Academy The Military Academy has also become one of the most prestigious military academies in the world.
There are many famous generals who graduated from the Frunze Military Academy. Soviet Marshals Zhukov, Chuikov, Grechko, Voronov, Bilyuzov, etc. are all world-renowned military strategists.
It can be said that there is absolutely no problem for little Ustinov to graduate from school, plus he has some abilities and family background; it is not very strange to be able to serve as the commander of the armored division.
His pursuit was to be the Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union. Although he understood that there were some problems in the country, he still firmly believed that no country could defeat the powerful Soviet Union. But the kid in front of me said that it was still important to leave a way out. After all, political struggles have always been fought with bloodshed and sacrifice.
Although Fucaira's Minister of Defense and Commander-in-Chief of the Army had very scary names, little Ustinov really didn't like them at this time. I was still very happy when I heard Bao Zixuan say this today. He had already served as deputy company commander just after graduating from the military academy. Think about it, that was 20 years ago. It seems like what Bao Zixuan said, he is a master at making money in business, but he is not even a good at fighting.
It shows that the other party recognizes his ability very much, so all the efforts are worth it. Having no way out is one thing, but more importantly, having money to collect. No one is more generous than this guy in front of me, at least he has never had any problems with money.
At this time, little Ustinov felt a little restless, feeling that he had finally found some sense of accomplishment in front of Bao Zixuan. So he said very confidently: "We are friends. If you need any help, just ask me. I can't guarantee anything else. Fighting is my specialty. It doesn't matter if I help you train people or have other jobs."
They say Lao Maozi is easy to fool, and it seems that is really the case. As long as you talk to the other person's heart, you can let them do whatever they want.
Bao Zixuan: "The current chief of Fucaira has no sons, only two daughters. The eldest daughter, Princess Sala, has a very good relationship with me; we are all men, and there is no need for me to hide this from you."
"The chief is now in poor health and may pass away at any time. Even if he doesn't leave me, I want him to abdicate first, and Sarah will directly inherit the throne. However, the status of women in the Middle East is very low, and neighboring countries will definitely not agree."
"Sharjah will be the first to stand up and oppose it. They are certainly no match for business, but I don't know how to fight. Thinking of your connections in the Soviet army, brother, let's see if we can help find a way."
"Retired or about-to-retire soldiers from the Soviet Union, especially pilots; let them come over. Don't worry about wages, we will never treat them badly."
"At the same time, we need to purchase more Soviet weapons and equipment, especially Yak-36 fighter jets; after all, there is no airport in Fucairah, so we can only choose vertical take-off and landing aircraft. As for the short combat radius, the entire UAE is not that big, so there is no need to worry about this. .”
Sure enough, he wanted to buy weapons, and someone came to buy them with him.
Little Ustinov smiled and said: "I thought it was something difficult! It's very simple. I will go back to China to make arrangements. Make a list of what you need and ensure it is in place within three days. As for the Yak-36 fighter jets, they will be purchased directly from the Navy I’ll transfer them here for you. And I’ll ask the pilots to come with them, and I’ll make sure they are all ace pilots.”
"Knowing that I am serving you and fighting against the United Arab Emirates, I think everyone will rush over."
