Chapter 1058: Representing the Soviets

During the entire process, the Finnish Air Force never took action. Finland, which pursues a neutral policy, knew that at this time, angering the polar bear was obviously the most unwise choice.

Moreover, the Finnish Air Force has nothing that can stop the MiG-31 interceptor. The most modern fighter of the Finnish Air Force is the MiG-21!

The feud between the Soviet Union and Finland is also quite long. At the beginning, Finland was just a grand principality of Tsarist Russia. During the October Revolution, Finland took this opportunity to become an independent sovereign state. After all, the Soviet Union at that time had already struggled to deal with the White Bandits all over the country. The Soviet Union acquiesced. At that time, Finland not only obtained the original land, but also annexed a large area of ​​Russian land.

Since then, the relationship between Finland and the Soviet Union has become complicated. There is a long-standing grudge between the two countries. Before World War II, the two countries had fought a war because of a territorial dispute. At that time, Finland also relied on the power of Germany to continue to annex Soviet territory. However, at the end of World War II, Finland suddenly calmed down.

The three Baltic states became part of the Soviet Union, and the Central and Eastern European countries also became the Soviet Union's sphere of influence. If Finland continues to show off, Soviet tanks will not need to cross the English Channel or the Berlin Wall to directly attack Helsinki.

In the current Cold War era, under pressure from both the East and the West, Finland did not lean towards the West or the East in all aspects. Finland chose neutrality. Finland's national economy developed rapidly because it was not destroyed by World War II. However, in terms of defense weapons, Finland could only choose to purchase relatively backward Soviet fighters: any advanced Western fighters appearing on the Soviet border would greatly stimulate Moscow, which was accustomed to being bossy. Of course, the Soviet Union would not sell advanced weapons to potential enemies. Even the MiG-23 was not given to Finland, only some MiG-21s.

The Finnish government needed to be cautious in dealing with the powerful country in the East. They knew that the Soviet Union had truly risen, and if Finland did not bow its head, it could become a Soviet republic at any time.

When the first Soviet bomber flew over, Finland remained highly alert but did not send out fighter jets to intercept it. Then, the second plane flew over and attacked the previous bomber. Although both were over Finnish territory, Finland could only silently watch.

Finland, the country of thousands of lakes, is full of lakes! Until the supersonic bomber flew away, only the bomber that crashed into the lake was left.

At this time, the local Finnish troops were mobilized to salvage the Tu-16 bomber.

Kremlin.

After receiving the final news, Andrei frowned and learned that the Tu-16 bomber was not shot down directly, but strangely plunged into the lake. The Tu-16 was prone to various mechanical failures, but he always felt that there were other factors involved.

Although the possibility of surviving the plane crash was very small, Andrei still asked Dobrynin to notify the Finnish side to help salvage the plane. The crew members on the plane must also be found, whether alive or dead!

The subsequent operation of capturing other terrorists was handed over to ****. At the same time, Dobrynin sent a team to the United Nations to put forward opinions on how to deal with the Israeli nuclear issue. At the same time, Andre's trip to China finally arrived.

Andre had been to China before, but he represented the military before, and this time, he represented the Soviet Union!

Catherine also rushed to Moscow from the sanatorium. In this state affair, Catherine will participate as Andrei's wife.

Ekaterina came back in a hurry. Almost as soon as she got off the plane, she took the car that came to pick her up to the Chkalov Air Force Base. When she arrived at the base, Andrei happened to have arrived as well. She got on the special plane with Andrei.

The Soviet Air Force One, the General Secretary’s special plane converted from an Il-86 passenger plane.

This is a passenger aircraft that was put into production by the Soviet Union in 1979. Unlike other previous aircraft, this aircraft is completely aligned with the West. It is the Soviet Union's first large wide-body passenger aircraft and the first underwing-slung passenger aircraft. It has a four-engine, dual-aisle cabin layout and can accommodate 350 people in the all-economy class.

Previous Soviet aircraft used a layout with engines hanging from the tail of the fuselage and a T-shaped vertical tail. This type of aircraft would have a large center of gravity movement distance between empty and fully loaded, which was not conducive to flight safety. However, the design of this passenger aircraft developed by the Soviet Union is basically the same as that of similar Western models. It can perform short takeoffs and landings and can even use unpaved runways.

After this type of passenger plane was finalized, it underwent some modifications. Four of them became airborne command posts and one became the general secretary's special plane.

This special plane has been under strict custody and has undergone comprehensive inspections before being used to ensure that there would be no problems.

After getting on the plane, Andrei and Ekaterina came into the spacious suite. The soundproofing was very good and no sound from outside could be heard.

"How is General Secretary Andropov's health now?" Andrei asked Ekaterina.

"The General Secretary's health has recovered well. If it had been discovered earlier, his health would have been better. Now, the General Secretary has the energy to read the newspaper on his own," said Ekaterina.

Now, I have the energy to read the newspaper! Andrei knew that many of Ekaterina's words were actually to comfort herself. The general secretary's health condition was not very good.

Andropov was the one who finally thwarted the coup! Otherwise, Andrei's current position is simply improper! And because Andropov moved right after the operation, his body functions were further damaged, resulting in a slow recovery now.

"The real culprit behind the murder of the General Secretary will definitely be punished!" Andrei said, "If they dare to try to overthrow our Soviet regime, their entire nation will bear our wrath!"

"This is what the General Secretary is most worried about." Ekaterina said: "Andrei, you are the bravest in the Soviet Union, but once you sit in this position, you must learn to be patient and learn to find the enemies hidden behind you. This kind of enemy is the most dangerous."

Andre nodded. It is easy to destroy Israel, but it is still difficult to completely eliminate the Jewish forces behind it!

The passenger plane was flying steadily in the stratosphere, getting closer and closer to China.
