    Due to the lack of intelligence, Qi Yiming believed that the sudden advance of the Soviets was premeditated. The purpose was to pressure the Chinese diplomats at the negotiating table in order to gain leverage. If things went well, it would be best to seize the wreckage of the spacecraft in one go.  [. Published] He had no idea what was going on on the Soviet side and how many different ideas gathered in this huge country.  He subconsciously viewed the fighting nation as extremely united, at least when facing external enemies, they would act in unison.

    It¡¯s just that Qi Yiming thought wrong.

    The military operation to invade China's national border again caused an uproar in the Soviet Union, this time in all aspects. If the last time it was deceiving Gorbachev was gentle and quiet, this time it has turned into a violent storm.  .

    Gorbachev's face was covered with dark clouds, and sitting next to him was Arkhipov, the commander of the Moscow Military District whom he trusted. After he heard that people in the Central Asian Military District were once again acting on their own, Gorbachev felt that the country was full of people.  For those who do not obey orders, it is difficult for him to determine whether this behavior is isolated, but if not, those people must have back-up plans, and they are most likely pointing to the general secretary sitting in the big seat, that is, himself.  .

    "Commander Arkhipov, the three masterminds who promoted this matter have been placed under house arrest, but the phenomenon of disobeying military orders still occurs, and a military district commander died. Now the Central Asian Military District is in chaos. If it weren't for China  We have no intention of attacking, the place has long been occupied. I am very troubled now, how many people in the army lack a sense of honor and discipline, well, I am not talking about you, Commander Arkhipov.  Geoff complained.

    Arkhipov sat on the sofa and said to him with a solemn expression: "Yes, this time it really caught us by surprise. The Central Asian Military District has been completely in chaos. There are almost no troops capable of fighting. Our  The defense is in extreme emptiness. As for whether this sudden attack was ordered by the three comrades who made the mistake, I think it is unlikely. Why did they do this? In my opinion, they have handed over power now.  Under your supervision, any irrational behavior may bring disaster to them.¡±

    "Then you mean, maybe it was an action initiated by the people below to vent their anger?" Gorbachev asked with his eyes widened.

    "I'm not sure, there are all kinds of possibilities, but no matter what it is, the situation in the Central Asian Military Region needs to be dealt with immediately. We are there to face the Chinese army that may pose a threat at any time, and even a complete Central Asian  The military region may not be able to deal with the Chinese, let alone the now disabled Central Asian Military Region. I suggest dispatching troops from the Siberian Military Region and the Ural Military Region to temporarily deter the military region, and dispatching new military commanders to monitor the situation in the military region.  Make rectifications, and" At this point, Arkhipov became hesitant to speak.

    Gorbachev encouraged: "Speak out."

    Arkhipov gritted his teeth and said: "We have no reason to continue to aggravate the tension on the border when we shake hands with the Chinese. The actions of the Central Asian Military District and the Turkestan Military District alone will be blamed on us."  Your reform plan requires adjusting the structure of our national economy, and a protracted war or tense conflict situation will cause the country to continue to spend large sums of money, which is extremely detrimental to your plan.  Moreover, to be more pessimistic, I do not see any hope of defeating China with conventional force other than nuclear weapons. Now is the time for us to digest our experience and lessons, rather than letting ourselves suffer for revenge or other unrealistic things.  Keep bleeding. After all, our enemy is not just China.¡±

    Gorbachev originally frowned when he first said it, but after listening to it, Gorbachev couldn't help but agree that the Soviet Union's main opponent is the United States. Now it is so difficult to defeat China. If China  and the United States started at the same time, then would the Soviet Union face the harsh environment like during the Great Patriotic War again?  The difference between Gorbachev and several of his predecessors is that he does not have much pride in the Soviet Union. He will not believe that the Soviet Union has completed the construction of the Communist Party like Stalin did, or think that the Soviet Union can easily surrender like Khrushchev did.  America died miserably.

    Gorbachev knew very well how the Soviet Union was inferior to the United States. Although the Soviet Union was not inferior to or even superior to the United States in many places, the gap in overall national strength was still considerable.  He was neither arrogant nor belittled himself. It can be said that his understanding of the Soviet Union was relatively pertinent.  Because of this, he is worried that if the situation continues to deteriorate, it will trigger a real war, and the Soviet Union will face real destruction. So what if it involves China or the United States and is finished together?  Mother Russia is finished too.

    "But the things that are still in China" He hesitated slightly.

    Arkhipov shook his head and said: "General Secretary, it is difficult to predict what effect those things will have, and it is very likely thatThe system itself is broken, and perhaps there is a crisis inside it. It is better to run our country and army down to earth than to pursue those illusory things.  "

    Gorbachev nodded and admitted: "Commander Arkhipov, what you said makes perfect sense! However, compromising with China in this way will make us appear too weak. The United States and China will think that we give in to everything we ask for, so diplomatically  We still cannot relax our efforts, and we still have to show that we are ready to take action at any time.¡±

    Arkhipov said with concern: "We have reached a tacit agreement on ceasefire with China before. Now the private actions of the people below make us look even more untrustworthy. It will be difficult to restart negotiations, and if the Chinese people are nervous,  If we are not strong enough and take more drastic measures, then we are playing with fire.¡±

    Gorbachev is quite upset. If everyone had listened to his call, the situation would not have developed to the point it is today. Now he is not only passive on the battlefield, but also passive at the negotiation table.  At this time, all he could do was intimidate, but he couldn't do much more.  As long as you have some intelligence capabilities, you can definitely detect the reality of what is happening in the Central Asian Military Region. When the Chinese know that he is intimidating and is just a fat giant, they will not have any explanation for his demands.  On the contrary, Gorbachev and the Soviet Union also had to withstand the pressure exerted on them by the obviously more powerful Chinese troops on the border.

    Arkhipov added: "General Secretary, this matter is still hidden under the table. It is best to solve it while it is still under the table. If it is delayed for too long, it will always be put on the table."  That day, it will be even worse for us.¡±

    Gorbachev pondered for a moment and made a decision in his heart. As the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, he is still unable to fully control this great country. There are still many people who are working against the sun and causing trouble for him. I hope he can  Many people fell. Gorbachev wanted to show more strength, but he found that he did not have the capital to show strength.

    "Humph, let's let the Chinese go first. After I have rectified the domestic situation and dealt with those guys who lack loyalty and honor, I will settle the account!" Gorbachev thought in his mind, although  I was unwilling to lose my position, but there was no good way.

    ¡­¡­

    In the conference room of the tripartite consultation talks between China, the United States and the Soviet Union, Li Zewang, the ambassador to the Soviet Union, protested righteously: "The Soviet Union ignored the ceasefire agreement we had reached and attacked and invaded our country again, causing huge losses to our country.  Expressing strong condemnation and serious protest, the Soviet side must compensate us for our losses.¡±

    What he said made the Americans and the Soviets feel a twinge of toothache. It was true that the Soviets attacked them first, but those Soviet troops had already been sent to prisoner-of-war camps. Who suffered the most losses still needs to be discussed.  .  The Chinese representatives used the attitude of victims to protest and demand compensation. This is really speechless.

    However, today Shevardnadze was shouldering an order to seek peace. Even if the Chinese representative¡¯s statement made him uncomfortable, he could not mess around, so he avoided the important and said lightly: ¡°Who is responsible for this conflict?  It is debatable, but I believe that both we and China are tired of the constant conflicts. Such conflicts are not good for world peace, and they are not good for the people of the two countries. Therefore, we suggest that we sign it as soon as possible.  An armistice with lasting effect in which both sides withdraw from the fighting and make peace.¡±

    This statement shocked the aggressive Li Ze. He didn't expect that the Soviets were actually cowarded, and so cowardly that there was no warning.  Living in Moscow, he could naturally see some clues, but he could not yet get a full glimpse. He still felt hazy, but he instinctively felt that something was happening inside the Soviet Union, so that Gorbachev and his ruling team had to  Seek reconciliation with China and stop fighting.

    And in order to cease the war, Shevardnadze did not even mention the fragments of the spacecraft. It seemed to be an armistice and peace treaty with no additional conditions. This made Li Zewang hesitate.  With the order to engage in diplomatic war with the Soviet Union, he continued to pester the Soviets, but he did not have the order to sign a peace treaty, so he could only say: "I am very satisfied with the change in the Soviet Union's attitude. This change is conducive to calming down the situation and peace."  Regarding the relationship between the two countries, I will also convey the Soviet Union¡¯s suggestions back to the country. Specific decisions require further study by our country¡¯s top leaders.¡±

    Shevardnadze said: "Okay, but we hope to do it as soon as possible."

    U.S. Secretary of State Shultz, who had been stunned for a long time, finally realized that China and the Soviet Union, which had been beaten so hard that their brains were all over the floor, were suddenly going to reconcile?  How can one make a profit from it, and what are the underlying factors driving all of this?  Schultz couldn't stand up and say, "You keep fighting, let's keep talking." He could only keep his head down and say a few words that he liked to hear. However, the U.S. intelligence teamAfter this meeting, the organization increased its collection and analysis of intelligence on the Soviet Union and China.  .
