Steel Soviet Union

Time passed quickly and the process went smoothly.

When Gill asked Malashenko again, "How does the general view the military strength of the United States?" Malashenko, who had already answered all Gill's previous questions fluently, was no exception this time.

"There is no doubt that the United States of America is one of the most powerful militarily powerful countries in the world today."

"But I always believe that this kind of power should only stay at the level of deterrence. When the curtain of the Cold War falls, we should not ignite this curtain and start a fire. Force is like nuclear weapons. Only when the sword is sheathed, That is when it is most helpful to promote the progress and development of mankind, rather than blood-splattered killing and destruction.”

"So the general is a peace-loving man? Is that so?"

Jill was rigorous and serious when she got into work, and did not include any personal sentiments during the interview, even if the man sitting in front of her was the man she had never dreamed of meeting.

"Being good at killing does not mean hating peace. On the contrary, being good at killing rationally can better defend peace. My point of view remains unchanged from the beginning, whether it is in the past, present or future."

"I understand. Thank you for being willing to accept my exclusive interview, General. I would like to express my sincere respect once again for your outstanding contribution to mankind's anti-Fascist war."

Gil, who closed his notebook and put away his pen, seemed to still have something to say. Malashenko could see this and took the initiative to speak after the text interview was over.

"You look like there's something else you're not saying, Jill."

"I"

There was indeed a moment of hesitation, but after careful consideration, Jill chose to blurt out the truth.

"Jack sent me here. He had been planning this before he took office, and he quickly implemented the plan after he took office. My schedule is all under his control. I don't want to lie to you, because because of that ——”

"Because he also assigned you other tasks, right?"

""

Looking at Gil's speechless expression, Malashenko knew that he had hit the nail on the head and continued to speak slowly.

"Then let's talk about it. If possible, I don't want to embarrass you. I can help you complete the task."

Jill, who looked surprised, was completely unexpected. What followed was the feeling of understanding. After thinking for a moment, he finally continued.

"He asked me to find out information about you, by hook or by crook. I want to know why you were transferred to a strategic location like Fulda Gap but only held a deputy position at this sensitive time just after the confrontation between the two armies."

"Jack thinks this situation is abnormal and should not have happened. He asked me to confirm what the real purpose is. If it is really a war, I will try to get more intelligence from you, the specific deployment, "How to attack, which troops are going to be deployed, how many nuclear weapons will be used in the first round of attack, etc., and then bring the information back to him."

""

After hearing this, Malashenko pondered for a moment, and it was indeed not an accident, but rather an expected one. The question that followed immediately came out of his mouth.

"But why does he think you can do this? With so many highly confidential things, even if you ask me face to face, won't it cause my awareness? Or is it that he, Jack Morrison, regards his former teacher as a fool? "

Malashenko really didn't expect that Gil would react like this when he heard what he said.

Her two cheeks turned red quickly, as red as a first-ripe apple, but she was speechless. She completely lost the posture of a strong woman and didn't know how to speak.

Seeing this, Malashenko already understood what Jack was planning to do, and the means he planned to use to achieve so many goals.

To be honest, if it can really get to that point, this plan is indeed possible, and the possibility is not small.

But it was more than just spying on intelligence. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had instigated an enemy general. The method used is also the classic "Heroes are saddened by beauty" method inherited from classics, but I have to admit that it is still practical today and even in the future.

"It seems that I still underestimate him. This is not a method that a military general can use, but more like a wily politician."

"However, in a sense, it suits him and is quite suitable."

Malashenko, who was still thinking about this matter, found it more and more interesting the more he thought about it. While laughing to himself, he couldn't help but quietly spoke to Jill again.

"I see, it's like he's betting on both sides of the same coin. I didn't teach him this back then, so he's self-taught."

"What? I can't quite understand it."

After hearing this, he looked at Gil's puzzled expression and felt the need to help Gil understand the truth. Malashenko immediately said.

"The task he gave you is "if", isn't it?"

"If he really wants to instigate rebellion against me, the order given to you will not be a "what if" order, but a clear instruction on what you should do to coordinate his specific actions."

"Oh, I don't blame him for being suspicious and unable to see through the door. It's not surprising that anyone would be confused."

Jack used military thinking to think about Malashenko's "demotion and exile" after he was politically implicated. It would be damned if he could come up with a correct answer. The idea from the beginning was completely wrong.

After figuring out what Jack wanted to do, the relieved Malashenko continued to speak with a smile.

"He is actually hedging his bets and avoiding war as much as possible. The newly appointed commander of the NATO coalition does not want to fight."

"If you can complete the mission as he said, Gil, then at least you can bring him useful information. Even if we really want to go to war, he can make targeted deployments, adjust defenses, and within a limited time Minimize losses as much as possible and prepare for war."

"If you can't tell me the truth like now, then this at least releases a kind of goodwill. That is, they are not ready for war and do not want to go to war, so as to avoid us from miscalculating due to the earlier military confrontation. , strike first to be stronger, otherwise it would not be the wording "if it is really a war."

"Besides, if he really expected you to complete the task, he shouldn't have sent you so hastily. You just said that he was planning this before he took office, right? Then he should have been planning it from then on Send you to a place like the CIA for training to increase the chance of success in instigating rebellion, instead of just sending you here without any experience like now. "

"It would be better to say that he hopes that you can tell me the truth, and hopes that you can release his goodwill by relaying it to me, so he did this. At least the credibility of this will be higher, at least it will seem to be higher, instead of Take those formal notifications of mutual distrust.”

After hearing the words, Jill was thoughtful and soon understood the somewhat convoluted truth, but he still had questions and spoke immediately.

"But if you really want to start a war and I tell you the truth, wouldn't he be more passive?"

"Passive? No."

While talking and laughing, Malashenko looked to the west and continued to speak while gesturing.

"I bet that when he sent you here, he was already making adjustments and preparations, even if the worst happened. He was already thoughtful and thoughtful 12 years ago, and now he has no reason to retreat. "

"No matter what the outcome is in the end, it will not be beyond his expectations. This is the Jack I know."
