Chapter 708: It's Coming
So far, the Soviet Union has not launched a single war after the Great Patriotic War, but the United States has fought two wars in succession, unfortunately the Korean War and the Vietnam War have not been won by the United States, the former can only be said to have not won, and the latter has not even kept South Vietnam, which is a complete defeat. www.biquge.info And now there are economic problems in the United States, and the wave of domestic anti-war is breaking through the sky.
So far, no matter how much the United States has trumpeted the threat of the Soviet Union, it has been in an embarrassing situation in which there are few responders. The Soviet Union has not moved, but the power of the United States around the world is retreating step by step, and the proxy war of the Soviet Union is obviously much more effective than that of the United States. The war between Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the greatest evidence.
The war in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo has led the Pentagon to believe that this is the new model of expansion that the Soviet Union has chosen without a head-on confrontation, as it has been in Southeast Asia and in Africa. At present, they assess that the Soviet Union seems to want to use Syria to achieve the goal of weakening or even dismembering Turkey.
"What then? Immediate aid to Turkey? Blockading the USSR in the Black Sea? President Ford thought with his eyelids drooped that if Nixon hadn't capsized because of Watergate, he wouldn't have led the country at all. Ford had been careful to mend the country's wounds from the Vietnam War, but the Soviet Union's aggressiveness kept him from settling.
"If Hafez al-Assad must be the pioneer of the Soviet Union, even if Turkey is stronger than Syria, the war between the two countries will be hit hard. If we do not give a supportive attitude, the Turks may be disappointed with us, the United States. Defense Minister Schlesinger said with a heavy heart.
If there is a choice, the United States certainly hopes that Greece and Turkey can take care of it, but the Cyprus issue is indeed something that even the United States cannot solve, and the feud between Greece and Turkey will not end because the United States does not say a few words.
Things are changing so fast, so fast that the Americans can't react, and here they are still adjusting in Geneva, and Greece has changed its mind in an instant because of Syria's attack on Turkey. For so many hours, the Americans hoped that the Greek junta would come back quickly, put the Greek people who did not care about the overall situation in prison, forget that the Turks had enslaved Greece, and continue to unite with the Turks and be our Americans' dogs.
Since it is impossible to do both, the United States must choose between Turkey and Greece, this choice is not difficult, although Turkey is a pacifist country, this kind of country is hated, but the Soviet Union hates it even more, Turkey has the heavy responsibility of blocking the Soviet Union, and the United States must support Turkey.
Soon, everyone knew what choice the United States had made, and the transport bridge of the US Air Force, from Israel to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and now to Turkey, began to replenish Turkey with weapons and ammunition. The actions of the US Air Force clearly show the world that the United States is firmly on Turkey's side in this proxy war. The Greeks, already abandoned......
Serov did not hesitate to laugh at this kind of God's main attack, preaching in Greece that Greece had been abandoned, the United States had chosen Turkey, and the fake propaganda department was operating in full force, starting to bombard the entire Greece with information from historical reasons, analysis to religious reasons, and analysis to reasons of national strength. Otherwise, it will be more powerful, and the Soviet Union does not lack a party to lead the way.
At the same time, there is no shortage of people in various countries who will lead the way for the Soviet Union, otherwise Andropov's work for so many years has not been done in vain. This trend of Greek abandonment has just emerged, and some Greek public intellectuals have openly expressed their views, some optimistic and some pessimistic. The Greeks enjoyed the feeling of despair on Scam Island a few years ago.
If the island of Fraud is an orphan of Asia, then Greece is now an orphan of Europa. It has already been abandoned by the Americans. But the United States is not stupid enough to kick Greece out of NATO, it will only cheapen the USSR. Secretly, the United States kicked out a warning to the Soviet Union through diplomatic channels, and it was time for the Soviet Union to express that it would not dig into the US military alliance and cooperate very much.
"Do these Americans know that for the sake of this plan, the Central Presidium has been completely shameless. Any guarantee, it's a fart. Who said superpowers can't play sneak attack? Serov had a stinky hooligan expression, and what called for peace and mediated disputes were all fooling the Americans, and the Soviet Union was not willing to fight a proxy war at all, but wanted to enter the war itself.
Even if you have made up this determination, there is nothing you can not let go. The Soviet Union would also have to enter the war on its own, and if Greece could attack Turkey together with Syria, Serov felt that in this way the Soviet Union could also win, after all, the Soviet Union was geographically very close to Turkey. Even if you don't fight a proxy war yourself, you can drag the United States to death.
This is also the reason why the United States threatens the Soviet Union through diplomatic channels, and the Soviet Union wants to fight a proxy war with the United States, and if a war starts in the Near East, the Americans are definitely not the opponents of the Soviet Union. It is precisely because of this that the United States took a stand at the first moment of the conflict between Syria and Turkey, before the Soviet Union showed its attitude, first intervened to gain the upper hand, and forced the Soviet Union to make a choice.
If the Soviet Union does not act under strong pressure from the United States, this shows that the United States is still the world's first power, because the United States is the first to express its position, the Soviet Union is forced to be in a disadvantageous position of choice, the ball has been kicked back by the Americans, and it is a confession that the Soviet Union does not provide weapons support to Syria.
The Soviet Union confessed, and Serov contacted Hafez Assad through channels, saying that the Soviet Union would not carry out airlift like in the last Middle East war, but as long as Syria has the ability to bite the main forces of Turkey, the Soviet Union will enter the war at the right time, yes, directly into the war.
This statement was enough to make Hafez Assad ecstatic, Turkey's population is much larger than Syria's, and the same is true of its national strength, but compared to whom, Turkey is nothing in front of the Soviet Union. However, in order to confirm, Hafez Assad still sent a telegram again to confirm, and once again received a positive reply from Serov, in which Serov asked Hafez Assad to keep it secret, and at the same time made a decision to accept it as soon as Turkey ceded land, and the war could not be stopped, but only said that it could be discussed.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Turkey, how to say that Turkey is also the third military power in NATO, and now Greece is only using its naval and air forces to block Turkey's army in Cyprus, and does not dare to attack Istanbul at all, as long as it defeats Syria and recovers the occupied areas.
The fact that the Soviet Union did not respond to the air transport of the United States shows that the Soviet Union has conceded in. What is Turkey afraid of in this case?
The fact that American military satellites were staring at the southern regions of the Soviet Union and determining that the Soviet Union was not preparing for military mobilization and war gave Turkey great confidence that Serov had been preparing in the Caucasus for more than ten years and would never do something stupid at this time. If the war preparation is seen by the enemy, what is the repayment?
"Yura, when are you going to do it?" Recently, both Brezhnev and Sherepin have asked this question several times, and the General Political Commissar analyzes it every day that he does not do anything, which makes it very difficult for the troika. They really can't stand this kind of waiting torment, and they may be more relaxed after the war.
"Of course, I hope to pay the minimum price, the war is certain, otherwise even if Greece and Syria win, Constantinople is still Turkish, but I need Syria to lead the Turkish army to the south, pick peaches at the lowest price, instead of letting us Soviets sacrifice, theoretically the best result is that Greece and Syria will consume Turkey to death, and we will directly occupy Constantinople, but in practice this is impossible." Serov shrugged, although he even got the command of nuclear weapons and was ready to put two atomic bombs to help the fun, but he was not ready to really use nuclear weapons to fight the United States.
"Picking peaches, a very novel metaphor, don't let the party and the country down." The chairman of the Supreme Soviet, Serepin, patted Serov on the shoulder and said, "You have a lot of responsibility, you must be careful." ”
Serov nodded, once the risk failed, he would inevitably be pushed out as a scapegoat, this didn't even have to be thought about. He would not have thought that Brezhnev valued himself very much, and that this delusion would be very fatal if it had appeared.
"The missile train has already left for the intended location, the Baikonur space center has been prepared for the launch of satellites after the start of the war, and the commander of the Red Navy, Marshal Gorshkov, has received an order that the four fleets will rush out of the base at that time."
"The Strategic Rocket Forces have already entered combat duty. The Air Force is ready, and the Territorial Defense Force is in combat readiness. ”
"The Airborne Forces are ready and ready to start operations. The naval infantry is ready......"
One order after another was issued from the Ministry of Defense to the various service commands, and at this time, the war between Syria and Turkey had begun for a week, and Turkey had mobilized troops from the central part of the country to support the southern border.
"At ten o'clock tomorrow evening, the three major military districts and the army group in Romania will open the battle plan, and at the same time issue it to the staff of each division, and at two o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, the Soviet Egler battle plan will be implemented!" Serov, who was in the Ministry of Defense, stretched out his hand to salute these old marshals and whispered, "Now, we want to put an end to the Cuban Missile Crisis twelve years ago, and see what kind of threat Turkey poses to us without nuclear missile protection." The central government gave us twenty days, but I don't think it will take that long. There is only one discipline of battle, to take Constantinople within seventy-two hours," (to be continued.) )
