Chapter 64 Relying on the Swords in Our Hands!

Obtained from an island country! Ustinov's eyes suddenly lit up: "How to obtain it from an island country?"

"With our swords!" said Andrei. "Take them from the Americans!"

Andre's meaning couldn't be simpler, it was war! Start a war in the Far East and snatch the island country from the Americans! By then, the island country's advanced electronics industry, not just the electronics industry, but also the basic industry, will be more sophisticated than the extensive Soviet industry, and we can snatch it!

If you tell others about this, they won't understand you at all, they will just think you are crazy. Now is the Cold War! Going to war with the United States and their lackeys will turn the Cold War into a hot war! Once both sides get angry and use nuclear weapons, it will be the time for the global village to be destroyed.

However, the person in front of him was Ustinov! He was a tough soldier! You know, the Afghan war a few years later was carried out with the absolute support of Ustinov!

Afghanistan! It can be said that it was a turning point for the Soviet Union to go from prosperity to decline. Before the Soviet Union launched the Afghan War, although various domestic contradictions in the Soviet Union had begun to emerge, the Soviet Union was still a huge empire after all. Moreover, the high oil prices at that time allowed the Soviet Union, a country that mainly relied on oil exports as its economic pillar, to obtain a steady stream of foreign exchange reserves. The Soviet Union's military deployment to Afghanistan was also based on the rich treasury.

Unfortunately, the Afghan War allowed the whole world to see the Soviet Union's hegemonic behavior, and even made countries like Saudi Arabia not hesitate to hurt themselves to attack the Soviet Union. They continued to increase oil production, causing the international crude oil price to plummet. In the end, the price of a barrel was only a few dollars, and the Soviet Union lost as much as it exported, which greatly hit the Soviet economy.

Meanwhile, the Afghan war became a quagmire for the Soviet Union, which began its decline.

What use is Afghanistan to the Soviet Union? Gaining access to the Indian Ocean and breaking the Western world's blockade of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans? What use is that? It would be better to completely defeat the island countries and rush out of the Pacific Ocean directly!

Ustinov, an absolute war advocate, naturally preferred Andrei's argument. Hearing Andrei's words, Ustinov asked with great interest: "Snatch the island country from the Americans?"

"Yes! If we seize the island country, we will immediately have advanced electronic industry, and all the problems that have troubled us will be solved!" Andre said, "As long as we act quickly, we can occupy the island country before the Americans react. At the very least, even if we don't occupy it for a long time, we can move those industries back to the Soviet Union, and bring the machinery and equipment, as well as the personnel, over."

Andrei was taking a crooked path. This thought only flashed through his mind. He told the Soviet marshal in front of him. Anyway, it would not do any harm to him. Moreover, it was too difficult to rely on the Soviets' own technological progress. In later generations, the Soviet Union disintegrated. Russian companies such as Fezoton, which could contact the West, spent a lot of effort but still did not master the technology of flat-plate slot radar. As a result, Russian radars directly bypassed flat-plate slot radars and turned to phased array radars. In areas such as precision machining, the Soviet Union lagged far behind.

Moreover, Andre was in the Far East Military Region, and combined with the impressions from his previous life, he definitely did not have a good impression of the island country across the sea. Those dwarfs on the island country were not worthy of existing in this world!

However, starting a war just to improve the industrial level of one's own country seems to be playing with fire. Andre is just making a suggestion. Anyway, he is only a lieutenant colonel now and cannot participate in the decision-making of any national affairs. He is just providing suggestions.

"Comrade Andrei, your suggestion is very valuable. The Supreme Committee will discuss it." Ustinov said, "Young man, work hard. I am optimistic about you."

The meeting ended in this way. Andrei walked out of the office, feeling complacent. Being favored by Ustinov showed that he had a bright future. However, with his current ability, he still couldn't influence the political situation in the Soviet Union. Thinking of the Soviet Union more than a decade later, Andrei felt heavy-hearted again.

White clouds were floating in the blue sky, and behind him was a beautiful building with three rows of high windows and a copper dome on top. Looking back at the Grand Kremlin Palace again, Andrei walked outside.

Just then, several Volga cars with KGB license plates drove over. The unique air intake grilles reminded Andrei of China's Red Flag cars in later generations.

"Creaky." The car stopped in front of the Grand Kremlin Palace, and several people holding briefcases hurried out.

In the middle car, a kind old man came out, wearing thick glasses. When Andre saw the man's appearance, he was stunned.

Why did Irina's father come here? And why did he come here in a KGB vehicle? Andrei couldn't help but ask himself.

These people were obviously in a hurry. After seeing Andrei, the old man walked towards Andrei, looked at the Order of Lenin on his chest, and said, "Good job, young man!"

"Yes, serve the Soviet Union!" Andrei returned the salute and watched the group enter the Grand Kremlin Palace.

"Andrei, you are amazing. You can even get praise from the KGB Chairman!" Looking at the backs of the group of people going away, Andrei heard such a voice.

The other Soviet heroes who were awarded medals with him were received by other leaders after completing the medal ceremony. They had just come out and saw Andrei actually greeting the old man. The others were extremely envious. Alexei, who was wearing two Orders of Lenin, said to Andrei sourly.

Chairman of the KGB? Andrei was stunned. No wonder he felt very familiar with the old man when he saw him at Elena's house yesterday. Now he finally understood that this man was Andropov!

Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov was born in 1914 in a railway worker's family at Gunazkaye Station in Stavropol Oblast, Russia. After many ups and downs, in 1967, he succeeded Semiisnyi as Chairman of the State Security Committee, and in 1973 he was promoted to a full member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

And from later generations, Andrei knew even more that Andropov would be the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union after Brezhnev's death!
