Chapter 561: The Forgotten Army
The fourth update
Yanayev did not give a clear answer to whether he would allow Clerides to intervene in the Cypriot civil war, and he was also troubled by the question. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ Info Yanayev had a thousand reasons to oppose Soviet intervention in Cyprus, but he could not watch Cyprus lose more territory without losing even more territory.
It will take time to reach an agreement with the United States, and Turkey can turn the tide and hide more cities in this time. And it's not certain that the White House politicians led by Mario will deliberately stall for time.
The current Cyprus is no longer simply a contest between Turkey and Greece, but more of a competition between forces supported by the United States and the Soviet Union in Cyprus. As things stand, Cyprus is a bit more dangerous, given that Turkey's military strength is there, and its numbers and equipment are far superior to those of the Greek and Cypriot armies.
The Soviet Union could not send troops to Cyprus, and if it did, the situation would be further complicated.
However, a reminder from Defense Minister Yazov reminded Yanayev of something a long time ago.
"General Secretary Yanayev, have you forgotten that we still have an army in Africa waiting for the call of the Motherland." "Do you remember the armies that returned from the Far Eastern Military District and the war in Afghanistan and were disarmed, and in the end had to make a living as private military contractors in Africa? β
Defense Minister Yazov's words reminded Yanayev that during the large-scale military dismantling in 1992, a group of people did respond to the call of the party and the state to go to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia and the Congo to fight dirty and secret wars. Including the pro-independence front's opposition coup d'Γ©tat to overthrow the authorities, the massive takeover of local mines, and the control of the blood diamond trade in Africa, Yanran became an agent of the underworld. And behind all the blood-soaked secrets, there is a group of Russians eager to re-respond to the call of the motherland, armed with Kalashnikov rifles, shuttling through the jungle, shooting towards the target like a ghost. On the continent, the most terrible thing is not the opposition militias that claim independence and liberation, but these silent Siberian giant bears.
When the Soviet Union laid off 300,000 troops in the Far East, at least nearly one-fifth of them chose to go into the pristine rainforest. Excluding the retired and dead, this means that there are still nearly 30,000 "mercenary forces" in Africa that have been forgotten there. And this force could have a decisive impact on changing the situation in Cyprus.
In the Donetsk conflict, the military quality of the Eastern Ukrainian militia is comparable to the level of the civil war in the Middle East. While they were still trying to bomb with human flesh, the militia in Crimea were already familiar with the barrage of Xu Jin and Butan's coordinated operations.
"The Moscow Legion scattered in Africa back then?" After so many busy years, he has almost forgotten the existence of these people, and he has not responded to the call of Moscow, but he still controls the political situation of every African country in Africa in the most turbulent Africa of the nineties. Even this company has the terrible military power to subvert any small country in Africa.
Yazov's proposal was not impossible, and in the Pig Bay incident that year, the CIA also organized a mercenary force of several thousand people to try to overthrow Castro's regime, but the latter failed.
"Maybe Cyprus needs them? As long as Clerides is willing to pay to hire them. Yazov said seriously, "Although all this time has passed, it is time for Turkey to rediscover what a Soviet army is." β
Correctional camps, Zimbabwe, Africa.
How long Sergeant Gordon had been in these places full of malaria and rain, even he could not remember. It started with Mozambique, and when they stabilized the situation, they moved to Zimbabwe, where President Mugabe's attempt to violently reclaim European and white land caused discontent on the part of the British, who used military blocs to launch an offensive in an attempt to divide independent Zimbabwe and make it a divided and war-torn place.
Alkasha had become the commander of the Corrections Battalion, and in fact he was one step away from the company's core decision-making power, but Alkasha preferred to command the charge from the front.
After so many years of bloodbathing, Sergeant Gordon finds himself adjusting to this bloody life, and he also tries to reintegrate into society, only to find himself derailed from the affairs around him. He was more accustomed to the smell of burning gunpowder, the smell of blood, the dampness of the rainforest that never dried up.
Gordon has stayed here since he returned from Moscow, many of whom have left, and many of whom have remained like him. Under the baptism of war, they became war machines in the true sense of the word.
It was only at certain moments in the middle of the night that he remembered the motherland he had fought for, and his already calmed heart began to make waves again. He hopes that one day, one day, he will be able to fight again for the motherland he is holding onto.
Gordon rolled over and tried to lie down in a more comfortable position in the wicker chair, but the sudden noise outside forced him to stand up and poke his head out the window.
It was a black sedan, unusual from the ugly and violent steel monsters of the BMP armored vehicles around it, and the nobility of the black made Gordon see through it at a glance, and the company headquarters sent someone over to ask them to carry out a new mission. But Gordon was wrong about one thing, and this time it was not a guy in a suit and leather shoes who got out of the car, but an old man in a Soviet uniform.
Gordon's eyes widened, as did a lot of people like him around him. Because they have seen the old man with a flat expression in front of them many times in the newspapers and on TV. He was Field Marshal of the USSR, Deputy Minister of Defense, General Valennikov. Rumor has it that this year Valennikov will retire from the position of field marshal and spend his days in a villa on the outskirts of Moscow.
Alkasha came out of the camp and was equally flustered when he saw Valennikov, but Alkasha subconsciously raised his hand and saluted Valennikov.
Valentnikov patted Alkasha on the shoulder and said with some emotion, "Comrade Alkasha, people just have to serve the old." After this long journey, I was worried that I would not make it back to Moscow alive. β
Arkasha replied respectfully, "We will keep you safe, General Valennikov." β
Pacing back and forth in the muddy camp, Valennikov waved his hand and exclaimed, "No need, boys. I'm not here to accompany you today, I just want to ask you one word, just one word. β
Valennikov stopped, his decades of military career had given him a tough momentum, his gaze swept over every gloomy look, and he slowly asked, "Are you willing to fight for the motherland again?" β
After Valentikov finished speaking, everyone fell silent, and they looked at Valentnikov as if they had met a monster, not understanding what the other party meant. After so many years of bloody war, they seem to have long forgotten the promise they made when they joined the army.
Fight for the protection of the Motherland.
Valentnikov repeated, "Are you willing to fight for the Motherland again?" β
"Yes!" Gordon, who was in a state of great blood, was the first to raise his hand and shouted to Valennikov. Next came the second, the third, the fourth. The faces that had long since lost their expressions became rich again, and they raised their rifles in their hands and shouted loudly. The jungle has worn away their will, but not their faith and spirit.
"Yes!"
It's like a force that has been forgotten for many years, finally waiting for the call of the motherland.
It was an honor for them to put back on the uniforms they had brought with them, to wipe the red star off their red berets and put them on. The soldiers of the Correctional Battalion would rather die on the battlefield than live in this darkless jungle for the rest of their lives.
Gordon looked resolutely at the mountains in the distance, and he was finally going to wave goodbye to this damn jungle.
"Motherland, we are back." (To be continued.) )
