Chapter 1495 Mei Renzong

A little later in the day, the Soviet Foreign Ministry apologized to the Japanese side, citing a signal malfunction as the reason for this incursion into Japanese airspace by fighter jets.

The permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs passed this information over, Alan Wilson had thought it was a small matter, but suddenly realized that the aircraft involved was the MiG 25, a fighter that had once scared the United States during the Middle East War and thought there was some kind of black tech on it, which made him think twice, muttering in a low voice, “It can’t be the Belyanke incident, can it? ”

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union had a Belenko incident, the Soviet pilots defected to the United States driving is the MiG 25 fighter, but also to Japan as a breakthrough, landed in Hokkaido.

However, in this world Hokkaido has been occupied by the Soviet Union, because Honshu Island and Hokkaido is too close, the Japanese sleep in fear of the Soviet Union God touched over.

Honshu Island’s air defense power is far more than the Japan in Alan Wilson’s mind, after all, Japan’s value is still very big, and the United States can’t really make Japan a virtual void.

Allen Wilson guessed that it would have been Japan’s stress response that caused Belenko not to land successfully, and now the situation was still unclear and no more news had come in yet.

“But is it paradise when you get to America? Is it worth leaving your wife and children behind?” Alan Wilson remembers that Belenko is less than thirty years old is already a captain, is the deputy commander of the fighter squadron, even if it can not be called a bright future, but at least it is not very bad.

His own escape to pit his wife and son, if it really has value, but on the level of Belenko, defection is not worth much, the United States can give an officer of such a low rank what treatment? What kind of treatment can the U.S. give to such a low-level officer?

The European side of the Soviet Union is not without receiving defectors, but mainly what writers, ballerinas and such characters, but also undeniable that they are before the Soviet Union’s meritorious characters. Two years ago the dancer Baryshnikov sought political asylum in London.

These actors and writers are certainly better off than they were in the USSR because they were previously pillars of their respective fields in the USSR, and whether they are ballet dancers or writers, these professions are easy to manipulate, and with their own abilities, it’s easy to exceed the standard of living they had in the USSR.

But such things are all about scarcity, if the USSR defected over a whole ballet company, the ballerinas who came over would surely find that not much had changed from their lives in the USSR, and there wouldn’t be enough people to share the cake, but Belenko? What will he do?

Get to the U.S.S.R. and let him fly state-of-the-art fighters? Or put him in a civil aviation as a captain? Neither of those is doable. Leaving his wife and son behind like that would be pretty worthless.

Allen Wilson this side sneer at the same time, the Soviet Far East military region has been a wind, Il 62 passenger plane landed at the airport, came to meet the Far East Air Force commanders are very nervous.

The hatch opened, Alexeyev stepped out of the hatch, and behind him was accompanied by security cadres from the General Directorate of Military Administration, and then behind them were the officers of the Alpha Special Forces, which had just been established less than two years ago.

This special forces unit had been ordered by Yuri Andropov, the chairman of the Soviet State Security Committee, to form a specialized special squad within the KGB system, whose primary mission was to combat terrorism. This

The anti-terrorist commando unit was initially named Group A and was the predecessor of what is commonly referred to as “Alpha Team”.

At the time of its formation, the Alpha Team already had a heavy responsibility, so the team was “selective” in its selection of members. The first members of the Alpha Team were no more than thirty young officers of the KGB, all of whom were highly skilled, and all of them passed a rigorous examination before they were able to join the most elite special commando unit.

So there were no soldiers behind Alexeyev, at worst they were non-commissioned officers, each of them was composed of reliable officers handpicked from various units, and he had only just entered the General Directorate of Military Management, which dealt with the armed forces of the USSR, and it so happened that when talking with the head of the General Directorate, Lieutenant General Yessov, he expressed his desire to visit the special forces unit, which was still in training, and then he received an order at the training ground, and came directly to the Far East. .

When all the people stepped down from the airliner, the person in charge who came over to greet them looked apologetic, it was impossible to hide the matter from them now, they could only avoid it and fight for a less harsh treatment.

“Belenko himself weak-minded, by the enemy compulsion propaganda, this is the nail in the coffin of the fact, as for whether it is incited by the CIA agents, but also after the investigation to be able to come to a conclusion.”

Aliksheyev expressionless directly spoke, showing the attitude to be impartial, and then said, “As for Belenko himself, live to see a man die to see a corpse, draining the Sea of Japan also to find the plane mutilated. This matter has a very bad influence on the great motherland.”

“We all understand!” Kolef, the commander of Belenko’s unit, opened his mouth, “The military district command also understands the gravity of the matter, and will cooperate fully.”

“I hope so, Honorable Colonel.” Arikseyev said as he glanced at the other’s rank, then turned back to the man who had followed him to the Far East and spoke, “Go to the Eighth Directorate’s quarters and see if there’s anything that can be done from communications.”

The Eighth Directorate, the Directorate of Communications Technology Management, specialized in communications technology and code breaking, as well as space reconnaissance activities by artificial satellites, the KGB’s directorates were all very large, and the Directorate of Communications Management Technology, in addition to its reliance on communications satellites, naturally included electronic reconnaissance ships on the sea surface, and even the Soviet Union’s pelagic fishing trawlers.

As the world’s largest fishing nation, it would be a great pity not to make use of the ocean-going fleet that stretches across the oceans.

On land, the Soviet embassies were in constant contact with the General Directorate of Communications Management and Technology, and at sea, the Soviet fleet of ocean-going vessels had long haunted the vicinity of the sites of national maritime nuclear tests to gather information.

Now the MiG 25 fighter jets along with their pilots were missing, and it was immediately necessary to think of a way out from the Eighth Directorate General’s premises in the Far East, and of course there was another reason to see if there was really an imperialist-developed espionage network in the Far Eastern armies.

Alexeyev actually understood very well that these military men did not like to see themselves appear, nominally although he was also a soldier and had a rank, the general Soviet people may not be very recognizable, but how could these military men not know the difference between the military men of the intelligence services and themselves.

As a long history of violent organs, the army is certainly not willing to an intelligence service appeared in their own territory, but the KGB not only did it, but also specifically divided into a general directorate specializing in dealing with the army’s intelligence, no matter whether it is the land, sea and air, homeland defense and air force or the strategic rocket force, there is no one exception.

Draining the Sea of Japan to find the MiG 25 fighter, in fact, is just a joke, he knows it is not so easy, even if you really find it, you do not have to fish it up, just confirm the damage to carry out the blasting on the line.

The military certainly does not want the situation to expand, but if the situation does not expand, what is the meaning of the existence of the National Security Council?

Arikseyev although do not want to think in which direction, but the security intelligence department is hoping that the bigger the better, the so-called opposites repel, the KGB is also a violent organ, and the army this violent organ is so a little bit don’t have the meaning of the seedling.

From this moment on, the entire Sea of Japan is filled with Soviet electronic reconnaissance ships, began to carry out a net search, even if you can not find, this step must be done.

The Far Eastern Military District also received the KGB’s love and care this time around, with forty-six commanders of all ranks, including three Major Generals, Gryllerov, Balamonov, and Koselev, being transferred, ordered out of the service, and Beremenko’s comrades even more hard-hit by the fallout, facing interrogation by the General Directorate of Military Administration on the grounds of loss of vigilance.

“It is necessary to state the duties and obligations to the motherland and the family, and even the army that defends the motherland should focus on strengthening education in this area.”

Lubyanka XI, the KGB headquarters, the head of the General Directorate of Military Administration, Lt. Gen. Yessov, faced with Andropov’s earful, kept nodding his head to say that he would definitely carry out the instructions.

Just then, the phone on the table came to life, and Andropov directly copied the phone, “This is Andropov.”

“Comrade Andropov, I would like to talk about the Far East.” It took a moment for Ustinov to come on, “Lubyanka abides by his responsibilities, I don’t want to make accusations about that, but? It’s inevitable that frontline troops make lapses, and it’s true that Belenko’s comrades were at fault, but a court-martial on?”

Andropov looked to Lieutenant General Yessov, who replied with a nod, “Comrade Ustinov, the Ministry of Defense must have misunderstood something, we are extremely saddened by the occurrence of such a thing, but we will do so in a way that does not spread to a wide range of people, and we will certainly not send Belyanko’s comrades to prison, and we will mainly criticize and educate them, but to continue to serve? Right!”

Far away in London, Alan Wilson, although he did not know the situation inside the Soviet Union, but the search of the Soviets in the Sea of Japan is not a secret, he is almost certain that this is Belyanko’s that defection, only in this world did not succeed, even the people with the plane is now missing, this is almost the truth.

Japan in the Far East spent the rest of 1976 on edge for several months because of the Soviet move.

The results of the November U.S. election came out, and Carter, who was supposed to hang on to Rockefeller one way or the other, ended up with little to show for it other than his image as a moral perfectionist, i.e., narrowly defeating the incumbent president, Rockefeller.

“I’d really like to see how the world could change with Rockefeller as president.” Alan Wilson stifled and sighed, if Rockefeller was re-elected, the next presidential election, he has been a friend of correspondence Reagan, is estimated to sit on the U.S. President, would have been an eighties version of the Sleeping King, came to power when the age of a considerable, although not delayed shyly forced face that the Soviet Union is the politics of the elderly.

The same is just this year became Prime Minister Callaghan, out of the special relationship between Britain and the United States to Carter is the victory to express congratulations, and immediately received a warm response.
