50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 504 Such an army is invincible.
The location of this "West-81" military exercise is mainly in a vast area including western Russia, the entire territory of Russia, the three Baltic states, eastern and northern Poland, and eastern Germany.

They mobilized a total of 50 troops, more than 1 tanks and armored vehicles, thousands of aircraft, and tactical nuclear weapons for the exercise.

At the same time, many technical branches of the armed forces, including battlefield support, tactical aviation, pontoon bridge troops, chemical defense troops, rocket force, navy, and airborne troops, were deployed to cooperate in the operation.

This exercise marked the first time that the KSBU (Strategic Automated Command System) was used to integrate all branches of the armed forces, fully demonstrating the appearance of a large-scale modern war that surpassed the level of World War II.

The "West-81" exercise uses the Northern Ocean Organization as a hypothetical enemy and aims to showcase Russia's powerful military strength in order to intimidate the enemy.

This is a true depiction of the Russian army at its peak, and it is the world's largest military exercise.

The "Zapad-81" military exercise not only demonstrated the strength of the Russian military and the use of automated command systems, but also reflected the strength of the Russian tactical concepts and military technology.

Although the Russians intend to intimidate all enemies, their primary target is the United States and the member states of the Northern Ocean Organization.

They even specially invited members of the Beidayang organization to observe the exercise site, and apart from the missile force being kept secret, they were free to take pictures of other weapons and equipment.

Reporters' cameras swept across the armored formations stretching for several kilometers, and the Russian "steel torrent" chilled observers from various countries.

But they didn't invite us, so we haven't received any accurate information from home yet.

Getting accurate information is simple; you don't need to go to Moscow, it's easier to go directly to the White House.

Over the years, the US Federal Security Service (NSA) and the CIA have sent countless spies into Russia and turned countless officials against their cause.

If he were to go to Moscow to gather intelligence, he would have to collect information from one department after another.

In the US, all you need to do is retrieve intelligence from the NSA and CIA databases.

They must have already compiled and analyzed all the intelligence clearly; he just needs to make a copy.

Therefore, after receiving the task, he did not delay, but directly informed the heads of various departments, and then boarded a plane in Saipan and set off.

The next day, after returning home and putting down his luggage, Sun Zhiwei went straight to the White House without resting.

The Washington tunnel leading from Decatur's haunted house to the White House remains unchanged, just as it was when he left, except for some accumulated dust.

As usual, he first used his spatial abilities to clean up the dust and avoid leaving footprints. Then he unfolded his spatial abilities underground and began searching for intelligence related to the "West-81" military exercise in the white house.

The owner of this place is no longer Jimmy, but Reagan, who has a son and a daughter with each of his two wives.

The children are now adults with their own careers and families, so only Reagan and his wife live in the White House now.

In March, he was stabbed by a gunman at the Hilton Hotel; the bullet was only an inch from his heart, but he survived.

Now, after several months of recovery, he can move around without problems, but his energy is noticeably less than before.

Therefore, he rarely held long meetings during this period, and in most cases he learned about the situation by reading reports.

So Sun Zhiwei found the report on the "West-81" military exercise on his desk, and the report was signed by the NSA.

Perhaps because he had already seen it, the report had been hidden under other documents. Sun Zhiwei quietly took the report and examined it carefully. The content was relatively concise, but it provided a detailed list of the exercise's content and the troop strength involved, as well as a logical analysis of the Russians' objectives.

That's good enough; he doesn't have to go to the intelligence department to find a bunch of documents to analyze himself. He never thought he was better than the professionals from the NSA in intelligence analysis.

So he immediately photographed the military exercise analysis report and then sent it back to the pile of documents on Reagan's desk.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw a health report in the pile of documents, which was a medical report issued by the hospital after Reagan was discharged.

It mentions that Reagan's body suffered permanent damage from the shooting and surgery, and even after recovery, his physical condition could not return to its previous best state.

Sun Zhiwei felt that the report might be useful, so he took it down, photographed it, and made a copy.

Once everything was done, he followed the usual procedure to clean up any traces in the basement and passageway, and then drove straight home.

When I passed by the shopping mall near my home, the roll of film I took today had already been put into a waterproof bag and placed in the water tank used to transmit information.

That very night, a special intelligence agent secretly smuggled the film onto the plane back to Beijing.

He was certain that he had more than one source of intelligence for such a major operation in a local area, but he was confident that his intelligence was the fastest and most comprehensive.

Once all the intelligence from various sources was gathered, the situation regarding the Russian exercise was clear to the Chinese.

The Russians are just trying to scare people this time; in their own words, such an army is invincible.

However, this military exercise has consumed a huge amount of resources and money, which will further exacerbate Russia's economic problems, but no one has seen this yet.

A few days later, the "Western" exercise was a complete success. Although the domestic situation was not alarming, it did make people nervous, while Europe was certainly alarmed.

They themselves have analyzed it, and the other side is not thinking about a real war right now. If a real war breaks out, the whole of Europe will not be able to hold out for 3 months.

However, it is said that the Russians have a more optimistic analysis.

The prevailing belief within their ranks was that it would only take one month to conquer the entire European continent, and only seven days to conquer Western Europe.

The analysis from the White House strategists was even more alarming. The Department of Defense reported to Reagan that, based on the Russian tactics, the US military forces stationed in Europe would be completely annihilated, Western Europe would fall within 5 days, and the Russians could occupy the whole of Europe within 8 days.

This analysis has caused great panic and unease throughout Europe and the United States.

London was also in a panic. They began buying large quantities of weapons from the United States and hoped to receive a promise from the United States that it would provide immediate support should they be attacked by the Russians.

It must be said that after World War II, the once mighty British Empire had already declined, and was already seeking help even before the war began.

But what they didn't know was that the US itself was also panicking.

Since the two oil-producing countries went to war a few years ago, which led to a global reduction in oil production, oil prices began to soar, eventually resulting in a global economic crisis.

This economic crisis has severely impacted the economic development of the United States. Therefore, Reagan is implementing new policies domestically, doing everything in his power to boost the domestic economy.
