Chapter 435 Moscow Olympics

The Soviet Union promised to sell T-62 tanks to Iran, but in fact, no tanks were exported. It was just to cheat the Iranians out of money. Anyway, the Soviet Union has decided to take action. As long as it overthrows the Iranian regime and supports a puppet government, it will not be considered a breach of contract. The Soviet Union is a world power and its words must be kept.

But now, the Iranians have the T-62! In Isfahan, the T-62 appeared in the Iranian armored sequence! The Iranians were blocked from getting the 69 tanks from China, but the Iranians got the T-62!

Daring to export weapons to Iran is to be an enemy of the Soviet Union. This matter must be thoroughly investigated! Andre brought up this issue to increase its importance!

"The Iranians have T-62 tanks?" Ustinov immediately said, "How is this possible!"

This is even more unacceptable than having the M1 tank. After all, the T-62 tank was produced by the Soviet Union itself!

"So we have to investigate this matter thoroughly." Andre said, "The Iranians' tanks may have come from three possible sources: Syria, North Korea, or within our borders!"

Syria and North Korea are both Soviet Union's younger brothers. These countries have a large number of T-62 tanks. Moreover, the two countries have a close relationship with Iran. For example, in history, Iraq used a large number of Scud missiles to attack Iran. Iran had no power to fight back, so it hurriedly imported a batch of Scud missiles from Syria for emergency response. Later, North Korea exported ballistic missile technology to Iran. You know, the ballistic missiles of Iran and North Korea are almost the same.

In addition to these two countries, there is another possibility, that is the Soviet Union itself! Andrei now has a deep understanding of how serious the corruption problem is within the Soviet Union. Some places below are simply independent kingdoms! Even the serfdom system can exist, so what else is impossible!

In some remote area of ​​the Soviet Union, in an open tank graveyard or something like that, there might be a brave guy who sold these weapons! Through various channels, they spread to Iran!

The third possibility is also the most terrifying. If such a thing really happened, it would be another shock to the Soviet Union! Many people would be involved! Andropov also thought of this instantly, which shows that his work of fighting corruption is a long way to go and cannot be stopped. This time, no matter who is involved, he must track it down to the end!

"Vitaly, this matter must be investigated immediately. The source of Iran's weapons must be thoroughly investigated." Andropov said coldly.

The Olympic Games, the world's largest sporting event, originated in ancient Greece more than 2,000 years ago and was named after the venue in Olympia. After the ancient Olympic Games were suspended for 1,500 years, the Frenchman Coubertin proposed the idea of ​​holding the modern Olympic Games in the late 19th century. It was established in 1894, the first Olympic Games were held in 1896, and the first Paralympic Games were held in 1960.

The purpose of the Olympic Games is to promote the Olympic spirit, safeguard the international social movement for world peace, go higher, faster and farther, constantly challenge the limits of human beings, promote the all-round development of people's physiology, psychology and social morality, facilitate mutual understanding among people of all countries, and popularize Olympism throughout the world.

The Olympic Games are held every four years and are a major international event for the host country. Historically, the Moscow Olympics were overshadowed by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, which led to a boycott of the Olympics by two-thirds of the world.

But now, everything is changing. The victory of the Far East strategy and the unswerving domestic reforms have allowed Moscow to establish itself in front of people all over the world with a new posture. All participating countries are gearing up for this event and hope to have a better performance in this Olympics.

July 19, 2 p.m., Lenin Central Stadium.

The sound of planes continued to be heard overhead. Looking up, I could not see anything in the gray sky.

"Dear athletes and guests, please do not panic. Due to the bad weather in Moscow, we will use advanced technology to remove the dark clouds above our heads so that we can bathe in the bright sunshine and welcome the arrival of the Olympic torch." Clear Russian was heard in the square, and the young announcer was broadcasting to the crowd.

Two Il-76 transport planes were flying over Moscow, with chemical agents continuously sprayed from their tails. Soon, the thick clouds began to dissipate!

The bright sunshine shines on the Lenin Central Stadium, and the time for the opening ceremony has finally arrived!

Amid the powerful singing, the Soviet leader, Andropov, and the central leadership at all levels followed him into the main venue and sat on the rostrum. On the other side, IOC President Killanin presided over the last Olympic Games of his term, and he stepped down as honorary president after this one. Juan Antonio Samaranch of Spain was elected as the seventh president of the IOC.

"Dear athletes and fellow athletes, welcome to Moscow for the 22nd Summer Olympic Games! At the same time, we would like to thank the host, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, for its strong support. Now, let's look at the gate. The Olympic torch has been passed in!"

The torch relay is the first step of the Olympic Games! From the last host city of Montreal, the Olympic flame has arrived in Moscow across the ocean!

Amid cheers and applause, Viktor Saneyev, the three-time triple jump champion of the Soviet Union, dressed in sportswear, ran in from the gate with his slender legs. He ran around the stadium for a whole week and handed the torch to Sergey Belov, a famous Soviet basketball player. Sergey held the torch and lit the sacred flame tower in the center of the venue!

The microphone was placed in front of Andropov, who looked very happy, and announced loudly into the microphone: "Now, I declare the opening of the 22nd Moscow Summer Olympic Games!"

Amid the majestic singing, the representative teams began to appear on stage!

Historically, it was Victor who ran in holding the torch high and Sergei who lit the Olympic flame, but it was Leonid Brezhnev who was on the rostrum and announced the opening of the Olympics. Then, Vladimir Andrianov, the Soviet gymnastics star of the previous Olympics, took the oath on behalf of the athletes, and Alexander Medved, a famous Soviet athlete and three-time Olympic wrestling champion, took the oath on behalf of the referees and officials.

In the front row of the auditorium, a bearded audience member's eyes became nervous, his palms were full of sweat, and he felt a little excited and uneasy.
