v4 Chapter 898 - I\\\'ll make the cut
? Well, Mikhail means to put in the troops,” Guo Shouyun put his hands together on the two arms, put his chin on the backs of his hands, looked at Khodorkovsky on the opposite side, and smiled. Said, “I think this understanding should be correct, I still say that, I don’t understand military matters, General Lebed, what do you mean? “
“Mr. Guo,” Lebed said slowly, leaning on his seat, “there are many factors that determine the final outcome of a war, and among them, the strength of the two sides is obviously an important factor that cannot be ignored. On the other hand, the problem now is that the troops we invested in Chechnya in the early stage consisted of one each of the 52nd Army and the 45th Army, two special operations units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, two mobile artillery brigades attached to the Caucasus Military Region, plus two Helicopter brigade and corresponding aviation subordinate units
Calculated, we have invested a total of 40,000 troops in Chechnya. From the perspective of military strength, we have occupied an absolute advantage. , qв5. Again, the predicament we are facing now is not the lack of troops invested, but the heavy losses suffered by the troops participating in the war. Based on these two considerations, I think that continuing to increase the deployment of troops at this stage is not a good solution to the problem. We must replace some of the front-line commanders. At least, the commander in charge of the full command of the operation must be replaced. Schaff is the front-line general. Commander, his qualifications are too shallow, I was at the beginning”
“Enough!” Before Lebed could finish speaking, Khodorkovsky could no longer listen. The other party’s cliché was nothing more than to replace Shalev and use Guo’s subordinates. It’s just Kazantsev. He really couldn’t understand why someone like Lebed was so important to Guo Shouyun, didn’t this old man know that the military’s attitude should be relatively independent? In fact, at this time Khodorkovsky did not realize that the moment he planned to intervene in the military, he had already chosen the wrong path. He placed too much emphasis on his own interests and needs, but ignored the military. There are some irreconcilable contradictions in the interior. Therefore, when he chose to support Shalev, he had already annoyed Lebed, who had just joined the Guo faction. De was like being pushed into Guo Shouyun’s arms by him.
There are no geniuses in this world, and if there are any, they are pitifully rare. Those who can do wonderful things in all aspects basically rely on acquired experience. *In the past ten years, Khodorkovsky and Vinogradov have not had many opportunities to deal with the military. Therefore, some conflicts within the military that are not known to outsiders Entanglement, the two of them are not very clear, and because of this, they actually made a lot of wrong choices in the recent stage. In contrast, Guo Shouyun has been entrenched in the Far East for all these years, and he has never broken away from his close relationship with the military. As his wife, Nina was born in a Soviet military family. Therefore, he basically has internal affairs in the military. All the doors are cleared, what issues cannot be touched, and what issues must be carefully interfered with. He has an account in his heart for things like this. Therefore, after he entered Moscow, especially in the process of dealing with the federal military, He can do it with ease. Judging from the difference between the two, as a defense minister, who would he choose to embrace? Answers like this seem easy to find.
“General Lebed, everyone understands. I know exactly what you’re thinking,” Khodorkovsky said angrily, standing up from his seat suddenly, “but I can also make it clear. Tell you, Shalev’s position can’t be moved, no one can move, and we have nothing to talk about at this point!”
Who is Lebed? He has never been soft in front of Old Man Ye, and Khodorkovsky is just a “guest” who has entered politics from business. As a dignified federal general and defense minister, how can he You can make this kind of person shout in front of him.
“Then don’t talk about it!” Bang slapped the table, and Lebed jumped up abruptly, staring at the big bull’s eyes and roaring, “I’m not afraid to tell you the truth, the battle on the front line in Chechnya, I I never wanted to talk to you about it. The Ministry of Defense is responsible for dealing with the external military issues of the Federation. What kind of thing are you, and what qualifications do you have to point fingers here?! Let me tell you, Shalev has to be changed. If you don’t change it, you have to change it. If you change it now, you can still leave a useful person. If the battle situation in Chechnya still cannot be changed after a while, I will bring it to the military court and completely remove his military status. !”
After all, Vinogradov was old and prudent. When he saw something was wrong, he hurriedly pulled Khodorkovsky’s trouser legs under the table. Nod, shouted loudly: “You dare!”
“Look at me!” Lebed showed disdain, he grabbed the military cap on the table, kicked the seat behind him, and said loudly, “Anyway, I made it clear today, how exactly? The choice, the power is in your own hands. Mr. Khodorkovsky, if you are wise, listen to my advice, the affairs of the Kremlin and the affairs of the government ministries, people like you can do anything I have no scruples to intervene, but one thing is that the military has its own rules in matters of the military. This game is not something that a layman like you can play. Don’t think that you can be reckless if you have the support of those right-wing political parties, tell you, if Chechnya The war will not improve in the short term, and once something goes wrong, no one will be able to protect you.”
Finished shouting these words. Lebed seemed in no mood to stay here any longer. He waved his hand. Exclaimed: “Let’s go. Such a boring meeting. Let’s not go!”
I can tell. Lebed is indeed very prestigious in the federal military. With such a wave of his arms. There was a crowd of people hula-la standing up at the venue. And without exception, they are all veterans with stars shining on their shoulders.
“What are you doing? Do you think this is a vegetable market? Come here if you want. Leave if you want?” He coughed blankly. Guo Shouyun said with a frown. “Sit down for me all. Look at you one by one. What’s it like?!”
He spoke in a low voice. That voice was at least not comparable to Khodorkovsky and Lebed. However. As is often said. “Reasonable is not loud.” He is prestige and not loud. Just a few words out. The situation at the venue immediately calmed down. Just got up to you generals. Quietly, he took his seat again. And Lebed. He stood there hesitating. Although not re-sit. But also put the hat back on the hand.
“Everyone. I think everyone should be clear. Quarreling can’t solve any practical problems.” Looking at Khodorkovsky, who was standing on the opposite side with lingering anger. Guo Shouyun was still dead with that expressionless face. He said unhurriedly. “People of me who don’t know much about the military know it. The battle situation on the front lines in Chechnya is very serious. There are many problems that need to be solved urgently. At this time. Bearing a heavier burden. Guys. Isn’t your attitude a little too childish?”
The meeting room was quiet. I was arguing just now and now I’m not arguing. Even Khodorkovsky quietly took his seat.
“General Lebed,” he simply took the initiative in the field. Guo Shouyun’s smile looked a little hypocritical. He turned to his side and rubbed his elbow on Lebed’s shoulder, “I I know that during this period of time, because of things on the front line, your emotions are very good, and you can’t take responsibility for other people for some things.”
“Shouyun” Lebed was a little stunned, he turned his head and said.
“Listen to me,” Guo Shouyun said with a wave of his hand, “There may be many factional differences between us people who come to the Federation, whether in the military or in the political world. I know that everyone is keeping it a secret but I don’t care. I should always say it.
It can be considered from another angle. On the federal people’s side, they don’t care about factional struggles and the like. As for the battle in Chechnya, they only care about the outcome and how much the federation loses. With their current status, they must feel genuine satisfaction, not bad anger. Do you say so? “
“Shouyun is good,” Liaomenko said, “but the problem now is that if the commander of the Chechen front line is not replaced, then the war situation will not be fundamentally reversed, and if the war situation is not reversed, the public anger will be gone It can be avoided. The most important thing is that someone must stand up and be responsible for the negative impact of the previous stage of the war. If Shalev is not replaced, how will we explain it to the federal public?”
“It’s still the same old tune after all,” Khodorkovsky said with a cold snort, sitting across from him.
“Hehe, the old tune is also a tune, as long as it can solve the problem, isn’t it a good tune?” Guo Shouyun said with a smile, “Mikhail, just like General Lebed just said that all of us are laymen, let’s talk about the military. It doesn’t matter, you have to follow their advice on key issues, otherwise, if something goes wrong in the future, no one will be blamed. Well, I think so, since Shalev must be replaced, then As for the candidate for the commander, Kazantsev will take over. He has been in the Caucasus Military Region for the past six years, and he understands the situation in Chechnya. Besides, he is also considered a member of the federal military. A veteran.”
