Chapter 519: The Same Move
The first update
Since his return from Villa Foros, Yanayev has devoted all his energy to the Turkish issue. Of course, the so-called arbitration Yanayev is not dismissive at all, and even if the final award comes out, it is just a piece of waste paper. As far as he is concerned, the so-called arbitration in the Turkish Straits is just a trick to attract the attention of the world, and the real goal of the Americans is to use the so-called arbitration to promote their own anti-missile system. And the creation of a NATO anti-missile alliance in Europe. Using the Turkish Straits is just a matter of creating disputes first.
Not only Yanayev, who has been in power for nearly six years, is facing the problem of stepping down from the leadership position after two years, but also US President Mario is also troubled by this problem, so on the one hand, he is stepping up the strategic encirclement, and on the other hand, he is trying to break the strategic encirclement, and the two sides are competing on this issue.
Yanayev and Mario are playing the same move.
If Yanayev wants to break the shackles of the lifelong leadership system, he must start with his own term. The Soviets were no longer fit for old men - to govern, and after the loss of Chernenko and Andropov, Yanayev was eager to realize the importance of breaking the inherent political structure of the Soviet Union, and that it would be a nightmare for the Soviet Union if the next person to come to power chose conservative politics.
Therefore, breaking the anti-missile program of the Americans has also become a key task in the last two years of his administration, and the focus of the anti-missile system in Eastern Europe is Turkey, which has always been at odds with the Soviet Union.
The dispute between the Ottomans and Tsarist Russia continued, and Yanayev had to stand on the high ground to suppress it before a new contest began.
The Kremlin's offices are littered with all sorts of documents, the vast majority of which are intelligence about Turkey's current leader, Demirel, and the various frictions that the Turkish military has been with him.
Demirel is a little more talented than the later Erdogan, who can shamelessly hold 3 million refugees to extort 6 billion euros from the European Union, keep the middle-aged refugees and literate refugees in Turkey, and send all the uneducated and sick refugees to Europe, dragging Europe down. Supporting the extremist forces of Isrot, he has great ambitions and has always wanted to fully religiousize Turkey. Demirel's overthrow was more due to the incompetence of the civilian government, and although he supported Westernization and secularization, he failed to manage the relationship between religious conservatives and secularists, which led to the political turmoil of the eighties.
Yanayev was interested in making a fuss about the Turkish army's efforts to preserve the secularization of the Kelmer, but there was no reason for the Soviet Union to intervene better, and an anti-missile system alone was not enough. Thinking of this, Yanayev fell into deep thought.
The fact that the conservative forces meant that the Soviet Union could not manipulate the religious issue and instigated the Turkish army to overthrow Demirel's rule. This is the point that gives Yanayev the most headache.
The ashtray was already full of cigarette butts, and Yanayev's eyes were red as he flipped through the information that was about to be destroyed by him, trying to find some clues to piece together the most crucial part of his plan.
"The tug-of-war between the military, the Turkish government, the secularists and the conservatives, Turkey is very lively." Yanayev smiled bitterly and snuffed out the last cigarette butt, and after staying up all night, he was ready to abandon his previous assumption that as long as he could provoke a conflict between the Turkish military and the government, it would be equivalent to tearing a gap in President Mario's anti-missile program, and this gap would become the key to the anti-sanctions and anti-missile program.
"If the anti-missile system is not interrupted before it matures, the next step will be the rhythm of the retreat of the Soviet strategic zone. Wait a few more years, and the THAAD and Patriot technology will have matured. Then the countries of Eastern Europe will be introduced on a large scale, damn it. ”
Yanayev felt inexplicably irritable, and he angrily threw the pen on the table. The ink of the fountain pen was thrown onto the eastern part of Turkey, and the ink was imprinted on the Kurdish crescent in eastern Turkey.
The Kurdish Crescent spans four countries, part of which is located in the eastern part of the Turkish state.
Seeing the ink-stained Turkish part of the Kurdish crescent, Yanayev was stunned for a moment, and he thought of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, which is still active in Turkey. Since Turkey cracked down on the PKK movement in 1995, the latter has gone from direct violence to assassination. The effect is clearly more effective than a direct confrontation by the Kurds.
As a separatist group against Turkish rule, an opponent of the communist banner, the leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), Öcalan, was given political asylum in Moscow. As a pawn of Moscow's long-term operation, the biggest financial support behind the Kurdistan Workers' Party comes from the Moscow government. Obviously, it is more cost-effective to invest in the Kurds than in others.
"Then the pawn that is a key part of the plan is Öcalan."
Yanayev breathed a sigh of relief because he had finally put together the most crucial piece of the puzzle. With the PKK as the center, various anti-Turkish government plans will be launched, and Yanayev is not to assist the Kurds in splitting Turkey, but to suppress the anti-missile plans of the Demirel government.
As long as Demirel is gone, Mario's plot to implement the ABM program in Turkey will be postponed, so that the Soviet Union will have more opportunities to break the shackles of Eastern Europe until it finds a counterattack in the Eastern European countries that have been couped.
By the time Yanayev put down his pen, it was already dawning. After a sleepless night's planning, Yanayev finally devised a strategy that would lead Turkey to a dead end.
It was already past eight o'clock in the morning, the Kremlin bell struck the eighth one, and after a short nap in his chair, Yanayev dialed the phone of the chairman of the KGB, Comrade Kryuchkov.
At this time, Kryuchkov had just been liberated from his busy work affairs, so he was still very surprised when he heard Yanayev's voice, and he did not expect that Yanayev would choose to call him this morning.
"On the issue of financial and arms assistance with the Kurdistan Workers' Party?"
Kryuchkov said in surprise as he got dressed, "Actually, we have been helping the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), from financial aid to arms aid, including rifles, anti-tank rocket launchers, etc." The budget spent on the PKK over the years has also been increasing unabated in accordance with the instructions of the Central Committee. ”
"It's not enough." Yanayev rubbed his tired eyes, which had turned red from staying up late, and said to Kryuchkov, "The PKK is not strong enough right now. Not enough to achieve our goals. ”
"General Secretary Yanayev, with all due respect, what kind of aid standards do we have to meet?" Kryuchkov plucked up the courage to ask.
"Aid to the Kurdistan Workers' Party heavy weapons."
"Heavy weapons?" Kryuchkov paused for a moment, but he quickly thought of the recent "playing with fire" move by Turkish President Demirel, who not only agreed to the US plan to build an anti-missile system, but even pulled in NATO to play the drama of the strait ruling. For Yanayev, this is an act that provokes his bottom line.
"Is this revenge on Turkey?" Kryuchkov asked.
"Yes, retaliation against the Turkish anti-missile system, since Demirel wants to co-opt NATO against the USSR, then we will increase support for the Kurdistan Workers' Party. He even did not hesitate to force Demirel to make concessions in this way, which became a condition for negotiations between the Soviet Union and the United States. ”
"And what about the opinion of the American side?" Kryuchkov asked cautiously. He didn't believe that President Mario would voluntarily let Yanayev negotiate with President Demirel, and if he didn't get in the way, how could he be worthy of the huge conspiracy he had worked so hard to build?
"That's not something the KGB should be asking about." Yanayev coughed, reminding Kryuchkov that the question he asked had crossed the line.
"All in all, the KGB only needs to increase its support for the PKK's armed forces. The rest will naturally be arranged by someone else. ”
Yanayev said in a deep voice, "We will let Demirel know that he is making an unforgivable mistake." (To be continued.) )
