Red Soviet Union

Chapter 375: Cam Ranh Bay

From the perspective of the Soviet Union's entire Far East strategy, when the island countries were occupied, the Soviet Union gained access to the Pacific Ocean, and the importance of Vietnam has greatly declined. Moreover, the Soviet Union has greatly eased the conflict with China and used Vietnam to check and balance China's thinking It has also faded. You must know that it is good to have India to check and balance China. Vietnam is really not worthy to challenge China.

"Then, let's let Huaxia take action?" Andropov's expression was very natural. For Huaxia, this was a serious provocation, but for the Soviet Union, it was insignificant. After all, the Soviet Union could already face For the entire Pacific Ocean, the next strategic location for the Soviet Union was Hawaii, definitely not Vietnam.

Marshal Ogarkov wanted to say something else, but seeing the general secretary's expression, he knew that the general secretary had clearly made a decision on this matter.

"Since all comrades have no opinion, then we will reply to China." Andropov said, looked at Andrei sitting in the last seat, and said: "Andrei, you have What opinion?"

Andrei's strategic insight has always been very in-depth. Now, Andropov deliberately cultivates Andrei, which is obvious to all. Now, hearing Andropov's question, everyone's eyes turned to Andrei.

Andre's brain started to work rapidly just now. In this incident, it is inappropriate to intervene and not let Huaxia learn a lesson. After all, in history, the Soviet Union and Huaxia had bad relations. When the Soviet Union encouraged Vietnam, Huaxia dared to let go. Go to war, let alone now! If you let this happen and don't pay attention, it would be too obvious that the Soviet Union, a big country, is not important. After all, Vietnam still recognizes the big brother of the Soviet Union.

How to convert various events into the real interests of the Soviet Union, this is the most important!

"I think we can use this opportunity to get a military base in Vietnam." Andre said: "This is a good opportunity for us, Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam, what do you think?"

Cam Ranh Bay! An important military port and naval base in southeastern Vietnam. This harbour is 17 kilometers deep inland, and consists of two peninsulas that form a gourd-shaped inner and outer bays, the inner port of Jinlan and the outer port of Pingba. It is located on the important waterway connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean at the same time, and has extremely important strategic value. Moreover, the military port is deep enough to park an aircraft carrier!

Historically, this place was first opened up as a large commercial port after the occupation of Indochina by France. Warships can also add coal to supply as a mooring point for warships. At this time, Cam Ranh Bay was not yet a military port.

Later, the Russo-Japanese War broke out. At the end of September 1904, the Russian Second Pacific Fleet arrived in Cam Ranh Bay to rest and replenish coal. Hundreds of warships of the Russian Baltic Fleet gathered here. 2 months later to go to sea to Vladivostok. Tsarist Russia was the first to use Cam Ranh Bay as a large military port.

After that, in 35 years, France began to build a naval base here. Until World War II, Cam Ranh Bay was occupied by the island nation and became a base for its invasion of Malaya and the Dutch Indies.

After World War II, France re-entered. After that, the United States expanded the Cam Ranh Bay port out of its own strategic considerations, but unfortunately it ended up making wedding clothes for others.

Historically, after the Soviet Union and Vietnam signed the "Su-Vietnam Friendship and Cooperation Treaty" with the nature of a military alliance, Cam Ranh Bay was one of the important conditions for the alliance between the Soviet Union and Vietnam. Vietnam handed over the Cam Ranh Bay base to the Soviet Union in 1979. Signed a 25-year lease.

And now, due to Andrei's crossing, Andropov's administration, and the great success of the Far East, the importance of Vietnam has declined, and this treaty has not been signed at all.

Therefore, Andre proposed Cam Ranh Bay, this strategically important place, taking advantage of this opportunity to get it from the Vietnamese!

"If we occupy Cam Ranh Bay, we can get a suitable supply base when our fleets are mobilized, and aircraft carriers can be stationed there. Therefore, our warships on long-distance voyages, such as the transfer from the Northern Fleet to the Pacific Fleet, will There is a good supply point! Moreover, the location of Vietnam is important, if we deploy troops in Cam Ranh Bay, we can directly control the Strait of Malacca, the passage of the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean!" Andre said.

Strait of Malacca! This is the world-famous golden waterway. Half of the merchant ships pass through here every year. If the Soviet Union deploys its navy in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, it can directly control this golden waterway!

"Moreover, we have achieved a garrison in Cam Ranh Bay, and we can also face the Philippines across the sea. The United States is currently fighting with the Philippines. Maybe it will deploy troops in the Philippines. We can just continue to check and balance the United States." Andre Explaining it one by one, everyone present kept nodding their heads.

"In the past, if we wanted to get the Cam Ranh Bay directly, Vietnam would definitely put forward various conditions. Now, we let Huaxia teach Vietnam a lesson. When the Huaxia army invaded Vietnam, the Vietnamese would definitely panic and come to us for help. At that time, We can use Cam Ranh Bay as a condition and ask them to lease Cam Ranh Bay to us for one hundred rubles a year.”

Andrei's words made everyone smile. This is simply to let the Vietnamese monkeys bleed~www.wuxiax.com~ This method is cruel enough, spicy enough, and in line with the style of the Soviet Union!

"At the same time, when we reply to Huaxia now, we cannot simply agree. We have to reiterate our position and let Huaxia teach the Vietnamese monkeys. We will not intervene, but Huaxia's attack must be based on North Vietnam, not all at once. Flatten the whole of Vietnam, and we want to get the Golden Blue Bay base in Vietnam." Andre continued.

Now that China has taken the initiative to inform the Soviet Union that it wants to teach Vietnam a lesson, then its own side should also inform China. You can teach us a lesson, but you can't go too far. Moreover, we want China to know that the condition for the Soviet Union to let go is that the Soviet Union will occupy the Golden Blue Bay!

After all, Vietnam is too close to the South China Sea in China, and for China, it has always regarded it as its own territory. If the Soviet Union wants to station troops in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, China will definitely be unhappy. It is just this opportunity to put forward this condition!

Beating one's own younger brother, but also watching by himself, is of course impossible, the Soviet Union has requirements.

Now, China's main focus is still on land. The importance of the South China Sea is not as urgent as later generations. Therefore, Andre is very sure that China can win these conditions. (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
