Chapter 593: A Visit to Syria
The first update
Primakov's visit to Damascus coincided with a period of physical weakness for Hafez al-Assad, and although it has not yet fully manifested itself, three years later, the Lion of Damascus from the Middle East will be put to sleep forever in a heart attack. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info That's why Yanayev is in a hurry to increase his leverage in Syria. Once Hafez dies, the Islamic fundamentalists and the Muslin Brotherhood, who have been deprived of their political rights by the Assad family, will definitely take advantage of the political instability to try to change their lives.
Yanayev built a Soviet air base in Syria in order to increase his bargaining chips in the Middle East and to stabilize the situation in Syria. For Hafez, Yanayev was quite relieved. But for his successor, Bashar, Yanayev needs to be more careful. However, it is precisely because Bashar's methods are not tough enough that the situation between the government forces and the opposition will continue to stalemate in the end. If Yanayev had been in power, fundamentalists and members of the Brotherhood would have been sent to the gas chambers, and the corpses would have been burned to ashes for pig feed.
What the? You say it's inhumane? Do you talk to terrorists about human rights?
I'll send you to Iraq first, and you talk to the local fundamentalists about human rights and see if they will cut off your head.
Hafez revealed to Primakov about the recent movements of the opposition forces in the country, and just a while ago the riots they caused began to become more frequent, as is the case in various places, with the opposition carrying out riots and attacks on large cities. Military camps, large public places are the targets of their attacks. Of course, the targeting of men, women and children is very much in line with the aims of the fundamentalists.
Although the military shot many opposition members in the raids, they kept popping up like rats that could not be driven away.
"There are also recent movements of the Turkish army, which the Syrian military intelligence confirmed that Turkey is moving troops to the Turkish-Syrian border. Photographs of the transfer of Turkish armored forces to the border were taken in ChanlΔ±urfa. Therefore, I think the recent frequent activity of the opposition should be inseparable from Turkey. β
Primakov was taken aback by Hafez's words, he did not expect Yanayev's prediction to come true so quickly. Turkey is indeed plotting against Syria, but what is Turkey's fair reason to invade Syria?
Primakov still didn't believe Hafez's words, "But if Turkey invaded Syria, he didn't have a justifiable reason to send troops." β
Hafez sneered and said, "Reason? Does Turkey need a reason to invade Syria? The PKK, which is active in Syria alone, justifies Turkey in sending troops to Syria. Now the Syrian armored forces are guarding against a surprise attack by the enemy on the Turkish-Syrian border, and we need to allocate some of our forces to prevent an opposition mutiny across the country. Since Iraq descended into chaos, the opposition in Syria has begun to collude with extremist forces abroad. β
Speaking of this, Hafez sighed and said in a low voice, "It seems that Syria and Turkey will continue to conflict again in the near future." Special envoy Primakov chose to visit Syria at this time, did Moscow also smell something? β
If one thing can alarm Moscow, it means that the situation in Syria has become complicated to the point of headaches. Otherwise, how could the USSR interfere in the internal affairs of Assad.
Primakov shook his head, he also sympathized with Hafez's current situation, "It's not that we smell something, but we have foreseen what the United States will do next, they are clearing the obstacles for Perrick, Syria and Iran are the targets they want to attack, after all, you are their last two obstacles in the Middle East." β
"So what?" Hafez knew that Primakov was going around and saying a lot of pushes, all of which were yes or no, and what he really wanted to hear was about Moscow's attitude. As long as Moscow is firmly on Syria's side, the Assad family will not fall.
"So we think it is necessary to inform President Assad that it is ready for any actions that may occur in the future, and that the actions of the Soviet Air Force units in Syria need to be approved by President Assad. It's going to be a joint operation, President Assad. β
Primakov curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Don't you want the Turkish government to suffer a secret loss?" β
"What do you mean?" Primakov finally got to the point of interest to Hafez, wondering what the hell was going on in the United States, "What is the way to make the Turkish government suffer?" We don't know from which side of the border they will drive straight in, or even if the Turkish army will attack. β
"Of course, there is nothing more important to Maziel than getting the head of Ocalan. And we can spread rumors to Mazyel through the intelligence services, directing the direction of the offensive of the Turkish army. In this way, we only need to focus on one point, rather than casting a wide net. β
Primakov said with a smile, "When the time comes, the Turkish invasion of Syria will be completely annihilated, and not a single one will be left, and this is the gift we have prepared for the Turkish armored forces." And they were still annihilated in Syria, even if Mazyel wanted to cry, he could only suffer this secret loss himself. β
Let the Turkish troops go and never return.
All troops who step on the Syrian border will be returned to Turkey in the form of coffins to receive state funerals.
After hearing this, even President Assad took a deep breath, he did not expect that the Soviets were much more ruthless than themselves, and if he could have one-third of Yanayev's courage and courage, there would be no opposition voices in the whole of Syria now.
President Assad never knows the extent of the terrible wars waged by the Soviet Union, in which the corpses of a comrade fell for every meter of advance were enough to destroy a country in the Middle East.
The countries of the Middle East, which did not experience Verdun's meat grinder, the miserable Stalingrad, are not at all qualified to say that they fought a real war.
Primakov's idea is very simple, yes, what the USSR did to the German Nazi crumbs back then, now how they will deal with the Turkish brutes.
"We're going to kill them all, and we'll leave not one behind."
