Later, the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its apology to Japan on the grounds of signal failure and brushed aside the incident of fighter jets intruding into Japanese airspace.
The permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs passed this information over. Alan Wilson thought it was a trivial matter, but suddenly discovered that the aircraft involved was a MiG-25. This aircraft once shocked the United States during the Middle East war and thought it was above.
There are some high-tech fighter jets, which made people think deeply. They muttered in a low voice, "Isn't it the Belenko incident?"
During the Cold War, there was a Belenko incident in the Soviet Union. The Soviet pilot defected to the United States and flew a MiG-25 fighter jet. He also used Japan as a breakthrough point and landed in Hokkaido.
However, Hokkaido in this world has been occupied by the Soviet Union. Because Honshu Island and Hokkaido are too close, the Japanese are afraid that the Soviet Union will come over without knowing it.
The air defense force of Honshu Island far exceeds the Japan in Alan Wilson's mind. After all, Japan is still very valuable, and it is impossible for the United States to really make Japan useless.
Alan Wilson speculated that it was Japan's stress reaction that led to Belenko's failure to land successfully. The situation is currently unclear and no more news has been released.
"But is it paradise in the United States? Is it worth abandoning your wife and children?" Alan Wilson remembered that Belenko was already a captain before he was thirty, and was the deputy commander of a fighter squadron. Even if he could not be said to have a bright future,
But at least it's not that bad.
He escaped and cheated his wife and children. If it was really valuable, that would be fine. But at Belenko's level, it would not be worth much if he defected. What kind of treatment could the United States give to such a low-level officer? He would not be an ordinary officer by then.
One person?
It is not that Europe has never accepted people who defected from the Soviet Union, but they are mainly writers and ballet dancers. It is undeniable that they were all meritorious figures in the Soviet Union. Two years ago, there was also the dancer Baryshnikov.
Seeking political asylum in London.
These actors and writers must have a better life than in the Soviet Union, because they were the pillars of their respective fields in the Soviet Union, and whether they were ballet or writers, these industries were easily manipulated, and their own abilities exceeded their living standards in the Soviet Union.
Very easy.
However, this kind of thing is rare. If an entire ballet company defected from the Soviet Union, the ballet dancers who came over would definitely find that there was not much change compared to their life in the Soviet Union. If there were more people, the cake would not be enough. But
Belenko? What will he do?
When he arrives in the United States, will the United States let him fly the most advanced fighter jets? Or arrange for him to be a captain in the civil aviation industry? Both of these are impossible. It is not worth abandoning his wife and children.
While Alan Wilson was ridiculing, the Soviet Far East Military District was already in a state of turmoil. When the IL-62 passenger plane landed at the airport, the commanders of the Far East Air Force who came to contact him were very nervous.
The cabin door opened, and Alexeyev walked out of the cabin. Behind him were security officials from the General Administration of Military Administration, and behind him were officers from the Alpha Special Forces, which had just been established less than two years ago.
This special force was ordered by Yuri Andropov, Chairman of the Soviet National Security Council, to form a specialized special team within the KGB system. Its main task is to combat terrorism. This
This anti-terrorism commando team was originally named Team A, which was the predecessor of what is commonly known as "Alpha Team".
At the beginning of its establishment, the Alpha Group has already shouldered heavy responsibilities. Therefore, the team can be described as "one in a million" for the selected members. The first batch of Alpha Group members did not exceed thirty people, all of whom were young KGB officers with extraordinary skills, and all
Only after passing the rigorous examination can one be admitted to this most elite special commando team.
Therefore, the people behind Alexeyev did not have soldiers, at best they were non-commissioned officers, and each one was composed of reliable officers carefully selected from various units. He had just entered the work of the General Administration of Military Administration that dealt with the Soviet armed forces.
Just when I was talking with Lieutenant General Yesov, the director of the General Administration, he expressed that he wanted to visit this special forces unit that was still training. Then he received the order at the training ground and went directly to the Far East.
When everyone got off the passenger plane, the person in charge who came to greet him looked apologetic. He couldn't hide the matter until now, so he could only avoid the most serious and try to deal with it less harshly.
"Belenko himself has a weak mind and was deceived and propagandized by the enemy. This is a definite fact. As for whether he was incited by CIA agents, we must conduct an investigation to reach a conclusion."
Alexeyev spoke directly without any expression, showing his attitude of keeping things business-like, and then said, "As for Belenko himself, he wants to see people dead or corpses, drains the Sea of Japan, and finds planes to mutilate. This case
This incident has had a very bad impact on our great motherland."
"We all understand!" Kolev, the commander of Belenko's unit, opened his mouth. "The military district headquarters also understands the seriousness of the matter and will definitely cooperate fully."
"Dear Colonel, I hope so." Alexeyev glanced at the other party's military rank and said, then turned back to the people who followed him to the Far East and said, "Go to the Eighth Bureau's station and see if there is anything from the communications.
Method."
The Eighth General Directorate, the General Directorate of Communications Technology Management, specializes in communication technology and code deciphering, as well as space reconnaissance activities of artificial satellites. The KGB's General Directorate is very large. In addition to relying on communication satellites, the General Directorate of Communications Management Technology naturally also includes satellites on the sea.
Electronic reconnaissance ships, and even Soviet ocean fishing trawlers.
As the world's largest fishing country, it would be a pity not to utilize the ocean-going fleets spread across all oceans.
As for on land, the Soviet embassies of various countries can also contact the General Administration of Communications Management and Technology at any time. At sea, the Soviet ocean-going fleet has long been around the locations of various countries' maritime nuclear tests to collect information.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now that the MiG-25 fighter jet and its pilot are missing, we must immediately find a solution from the Eighth General Administration Station in the Far East. Of course, there is another reason. See if the Far East Army is
There really are spy networks developed by imperialism.
Alexeyev actually understood very well that these soldiers did not like to see him appear. Although he was also a soldier in name and had a military rank, ordinary Soviet people may not be able to distinguish it, but how could these military personnel not know that the intelligence department
The difference between soldiers and yourself.
As a violent organization with a long history, the military is definitely not willing to have an intelligence department appear on its territory. But the KGB not only did it, but also set up a special bureau to deal with military intelligence, whether it was land, sea, air, homeland defense, air force or strategic
Rocket Army, without exception.
It was actually just a joke to find the MiG-25 fighter jet even if the Sea of Japan was drained. He knew it would not be that easy. Even if he found it, there was no need to fish it out. He just had to confirm the damage and blast it.
The military certainly does not want the situation to escalate, but if the situation does not escalate, what is the significance of the existence of the National Security Council?
Although Alexeyev didn't want to think about it, the security intelligence department wanted the bigger the better. As the so-called opposites repel, the KGB was also a violent organization, and it was somewhat different from the violent organization of the army.
From this moment on, the entire Sea of Japan was flooded with Soviet electronic reconnaissance ships, which began to conduct a dragnet search. Even if they could not be found, this step must be done.
The Far East Military District also received this time's care from the KGB. Forty-six commanders at all levels, including three major generals Grirelov, Balamonov, and Koselev, were transferred and ordered to retire.
Belenko's comrades were among the hardest-hit areas and faced interrogation by the General Administration of Military Administration for losing vigilance.
"We must clarify our responsibilities and obligations to our motherland and family. Even the military that defends our motherland should focus on strengthening education in this area."
On Lubyanka No. 11, Lieutenant General Yesov, the director of the KGB headquarters and the General Directorate of Military Administration, faced Andropov's instructions and kept nodding his head to express that he would definitely implement the instructions.
At this moment, he remembered the phone on the table, and Andropov picked it up directly, "This is Andropov."
"Comrade Andropov, I want to talk about things in the Far East." Ustinov came after a while, "Lubyanka abides by its responsibilities. I don't want to criticize it, but it is inevitable for frontline troops.
There were omissions, and Belenko’s comrades did make mistakes, but a military court?”
Andropov looked at Lieutenant General Yesov, who nodded and replied, "Comrade Ustinov, the Ministry of Defense must have misunderstood something. We are extremely sad that this happened, but we will do it."
If it doesn’t spread widely, Belenko’s comrades will definitely not be sent to prison. The main focus will be criticism and education, but if they continue to serve? Right?”
Alan Wilson, who was far away in London, did not know the internal situation of the Soviet Union, but the Soviet search on the Sea of Japan was not a secret. He was almost certain that this was Belenko's defection, but it was not successful in this world.
The plane with the man in it has disappeared now, this is almost the truth.
Japan in the Far East was nervous for several months and spent the rest of 1976 because of the Soviet Union's actions.
When the results of the U.S. election came out in November, Carter, who was supposed to defeat Rockefeller, ended up with nothing to show for it except his image of a morally perfect man, which meant he narrowly defeated the sitting President Rockefeller.
"I really want to see how the world will change if Rockefeller becomes president." Alan Wilson sighed sadly. If Rockefeller is re-elected, Reagan, his friend with whom he has always corresponded, may not be able to sit in the next presidential election.
The President of the United States was originally a version of the Sleeping King in the 1980s. He was already quite old when he came to power, although he did not hesitate to say that the Soviet Union was a gerontocracy.
Callaghan, who also just became prime minister this year, expressed congratulations to Carter on his victory due to the special relationship between Britain and the United States, and immediately received a warm response.
