Just from the current conduct of the Soviet Union, you can already see so clues. After getting accustod to the joy of expansion, they started throwing money around directly.
Yu Feng continued looking at the intelligence and said:
"While the Soviet Union was providing military aid to various African countries."
"Its dostic strategic weapons were also fully deployed."
"The dium-range missiles deployed this ti have a range of up to 5000 kiloters, putting all countries in Western Europe within striking distance."
"And it is also because of this move by the Soviet Union."
"That NATO accelerated the developnt of the ’Pershing Missile’."
"What is the Pershing Missile?"
"’Pershing’ is a dium-range tactical ballistic missile developed by the United States, with a maximum range of 1800 kiloters, although it is still under developnt now."
"According to plans."
"Once developed, this ’Pershing Missile’ will be deployed in Western Europe."
"It is primarily aid at striking the satellite states under the control of the Soviet Union."
"Focusing on striking hard targets like their command posts and transportation hubs."
"As for why not strike the Soviet Union..."
"Fear is one aspect."
"After all, no one starts a war by taking down the opposing boss first."
"Also, the range isn’t sufficient."
"Reaching the satellite states under the control of the Soviet Union is already the limit."
"After all, the territory of the Soviet Union is vast, with strategic depth far exceeding 1800 kiloters."
"But the strategic missiles of the Soviet Union have a range of 5000 kiloters."
"They can easily strike countries across Western Europe."
"The power of the Soviet Union is now fully revealed."
"Given that although the response from Western European countries involves 1800-kiloter tactical missiles, the problem is they haven’t been developed yet; they’re rushing to do so now."
"anwhile, the Soviet Union’s missiles with a 5000-kiloter range have already been deployed."
"They’re aid at the countries in Western Europe."
"That’s why the countries over in Western Europe are truly anxious."
"This was the Soviet Union in 1976."
"Then let’s look at the period in 1977."
Yu Feng flips through the docunts and begins speaking:
"This year."
"The number of intercontinental missiles of the Soviet Union reached 1500, whereas the United States had only 1054 during the sa period. The additional 500 intercontinental missiles could cover North Arica."
"In other words, the Soviet Union now not only poses a threat to Western Europe but also to North Arica."
"However, at this ti, the Soviet Union’s grain imports had already reached 27 million tons, with oil accounting for nearly 70% of its export earnings."
"This seems unsolvable."
"Because several years have passed since the problem was first discovered."
"Not only has it not been resolved, but it has also worsened."
"They can only take it one step at a ti."
Yu Feng continues speaking, looking at the docunts in hand:
"Then ca 1978."
"The Soviet Union’s expansion in Africa reached its peak this year."
"In fact, due to various dostic problems, the United States didn’t have much energy left to address them."
"So in this year."
"The power of the Soviet Union also reached its peak."
"Strategically, intercontinental missiles were targeting countries in Western Europe and North Arica, and the peak of expansion was also reached in the African region."
"At the sa ti, in Asia, the Soviet Union was supporting Vietnam Federation, which invaded Cambodia."
"The following year, Vietnam Federation and the Republic... um..."
"To be honest, it’s hard to understand."
"Even if soone is supporting them, it shouldn’t have reached this point."
"Continuing."
"However, in this year, military expenditures of the Soviet Union accounted for 35% of the fiscal expenditure, while consur goods for people’s livelihoods such as televisions and refrigerators were short nationwide by 70%."
"It was a case of extre militarism."
"Then ca 1979."
"Even though the previous year was a peak state, in this year, the Soviet Union entered into a countdown."
"Why do I say this?"
"Primarily because of two major events this year."
"First."
"The Soviet Union attacked Afghanistan Federation; the nickna of the ’empire’s graveyard’ wasn’t given lightly."
"Even the powerful United States got bogged down later on."
"Needless to say, the Soviet Union with its extre militarism was now in a pinch with a nationwide consur goods shortage of 70%."
"When it entered Afghanistan Federation, this quagmire."
"One can only imagine what it would eventually beco due to attrition."
"This is just one aspect."
"The second matter is even more serious."
"It’s what was just ntioned."
"After gaining support from the Soviet Union, Vietnam Federation dared to invade Cambodia Federation in 1978. So in 1979, do I need to spell out what they did?"
"In this year, Vietnam Federation invaded the territory of the Republic."
"Driving out hundreds of thousands of overseas Chinese."
"This move by Vietnam Federation also led to a division within the Soviet Union Camp."
"In other words, in this year."
"The number one and number two completely split apart."
"The entire camp was divided into two halves."
"Although the proportion of the Republic was relatively small, its impact was significant."
"At the sa ti, the leader was also caught in the mire of Afghanistan."
"Thus, the Soviet Union instantly transitioned from its peak to a countdown state."
Upon hearing this.
The Blue Star online audience in the live broadcast fell silent.
Hiss—
This is outrageous, isn’t it?
Previously I was wondering what exactly the Soviet Union did to suddenly enter a countdown from being the peak military power globally.
Was it an economic crisis? A food crisis?
Causing chaos and triggering protests among the people?
Turns out it was these two maneuvers that buried themselves.
First, entering Afghanistan Federation.
Getting trapped in the centuries-old war quagmire that no one has fully conquered.
Then supporting Vietnam Federation.
Causing their own camp to split into two halves.
