Chapter 530: Who's the Pawn

The third more

Captain Hendlisk finally received an affirmative reply from the command of the US Navy, and the fighters from two Soviet air bases were leaving the military base in Sevastopol and heading for the Black Sea Fleet.

"Damn, they actually came to do this, isn't the Soviet side afraid of a conflict?" Captain Hendlisk cursed that the Stanisk aircraft carrier battle group originally existed as a deterrent by force, not specifically to intervene in Black Sea affairs. According to President Mario, the Black Sea was originally an occasion for Turkey and the Soviet Union to wrestle, and NATO and the United States were at most in solidarity behind their backs, and now it is a wrong choice for the United States to use an aircraft carrier battle group to intervene in the Black Sea affairs.

The Staniske aircraft carrier battle group was caught in a dilemma. If the American aircraft carrier battle group passes through the Bosphorus, then it means that tensions in the Black Sea region are heating up. This is not the outcome that Washington wants to see, in fact, Washington only hopes that the aircraft carrier can be used as a deterrent card to put pressure on the Soviet side. Having suffered losses in the Arabian Sea, the United States no longer wanted to confront the Soviet Union head-on.

But now it looks like the opposite is true. When Captain Hendlisk was in a dilemma, he suddenly received a communication from the command, and Captain Hendlisk picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "This is the Stanisk Carrier Battle Group, and I am Captain Hendlisk." ”

The voice on the walkie-talkie was low and hoarse, but the identity of the report made Captain Hendlisk hold the walkie-talkie tightly, even on the other side of the ocean, the person who spoke to Captain Hendlisk had absolute command over the Stanisk carrier.

"Captain Hendlisk, I'm President Mario."

The voice on the other end was short but powerful, "Captain Hendlisk, you listen. From now on, the American aircraft carrier battle group will stay in the waters of Marmara, do not cross the Bosphorus, repeat, do not cross the Bosphorus. There is no need for us to make the situation serious. Did you get it? ”

"Roger, but ......" Captain Hendlisk hesitated, "one of our aircraft carrier battle groups is parked in the Sea of Marmara, and I can't say anything." Besides, how can we explain to the Turkish side? ”

A US aircraft carrier battle group has stayed in Turkish waters and has not yet left, in other words, the Turkish military has long been furious. That's why the pro-Western President Demirel has such tolerance.

"I will personally negotiate this issue with Turkish President Demirel, repeat, do not act on your own. We are not ready for war. ”

"I know, President Mario." Captain Hendlisk cut off contact, and he quickly came to his senses and issued an order to the first mate beside him, "Give an order at once to stop the advance of the Stanisk carrier." ”

As everyone in the command room looked at each other, the carrier battle group slowed down. Captain Hendlisk at the same time gave an order to the commanders of the destroyer and frigate to stay in the Sea of Marmara and prohibit any further advance. Although they did not know why the commander issued such an order, they stopped as instructed.

A scrappy fleet was awkwardly stuck in Turkish waters, and the huge aircraft carrier battle group looked unusually dazzling in the Sea of Marmara. But Captain Hendlisk, again, had to obey Washington's orders.

The Tu-22 backfire bomber formation, the Su-34 bomber formation, and the escorted Su-27 fighters formed a three-way drama of this Black Sea confrontation. As for the default Black Sea backyard, the Soviet fleet does not care how much noise it will make, as long as the Americans dare to make a move, they will really use strategic bombers to approach the opponent's aircraft carrier battle group and force the opponent to leave the Black Sea.

So immediately after issuing the order to the Stanisk aircraft carrier battle group, President Mario called Turkish President Demirel to inform him of the seriousness of the situation.

"Now the U.S. fleet will remain in the Marmara waters for 48 to 72 hours, and when the trilateral talks between the United States, Turkey and the Soviet Union are over, the Stanisk carrier battle group will withdraw from Turkish waters." President Mario tried to make his tone as sincere as possible, hoping to gain Demirel's understanding.

"What? You're going to stay in the Sea of Marmara for forty-eight hours? ”

Demirel's voice instantly rose several decibels, it was an extremely risky thing to let the US aircraft carrier battle group pass through the strait, and now it is necessary to risk letting the US fleet stay longer than he expected, and the military's patience is limited. They will not tolerate such unreasonable demands.

"Forty-eight hours, until the completion of negotiations with the Soviet Union." "Now that our goal has been achieved, it is not just Turkey that has provoked the Black Sea Fleet and Soviet bombers that have provoked the Soviet Union, but the entire Black Sea countries." At that time, we will be able to openly establish an alliance of anti-missile systems in the Black Sea region to counter the threat from the Soviet Union. ”

Any Black Sea confrontation, any arbitration bill, are nothing more than bureaus designed by the United States to promote anti-missile systems. As for what the other countries will end up with, Mario doesn't care.

Hearing Mario's reply, Demirel immediately became anxious, "Absolutely not, the US aircraft carrier battle group will either immediately withdraw from the Turkish Straits or enter the Black Sea through the Turkish Straits." We will not allow American aircraft carriers to stay in Turkish waters. ”

"Listen to me, listen to me." President Mario replied coldly, "President Demirel, you have to understand one thing, the current Black Sea crisis is not only a problem for Turkey, but also for ensuring the strategic security of the whole of NATO. As long as there was our aircraft carrier battle group, the Soviet Black Sea Fleet could only dare not go beyond the limits of Turkish waters. ”

"You're going to regret it." Demirel roared, "This is Turkey, not the territory of the United States. You don't have the right to do that. ”

"President Demirel, don't forget one thing." Mario said coldly, "We can also hook up with the Soviet Union and annex Turkey." Let's not forget that Turkey is just a pawn in the great power game, and we are the ones behind the scenes. ”

Demirel's anger was extinguished in an instant, and he finally understood Turkey's position in this game, in fact, Demirel could only follow the path paved by the United States from beginning to end. He has no ability to change everything at all, and can only follow the American method in order to protect himself. (To be continued.) )
