The third more

It was time for the arbitration hearings to begin, and unexpectedly, there was still no movement in the Soviet Union. It seems that the trial over the jurisdiction of the Straits is not on their radar, and the more it does, the more anxious Washington becomes. They sensed that there was always some conspiracy in the Soviet Union that had not yet been carried out.

Also with this hunch was the director of the CIA, Tenet, who now that the arbitration had already begun, and representatives of the Soviet side did not appear in court. And it is precisely because of this that the suspicions of Director Tenet are aroused. He thinks there may be other ulterior motives behind this.

"It's really strange, it stands to reason that when the Permanent Court of Arbitration is in session, the Soviet Union always makes some indications, such as protests, and a more serious direct threat of warships. Why has the USSR not done anything until now? This is counterintuitive. Director Tenet held his chin and carefully analyzed all the possibilities, "Could it be that they still have a backhand?" ”

"What a miscalculation." Director Tenet seemed to think of something, he patted his head, and suddenly remembered a key question, "We did not deploy a fleet in the Turkish Strait, in fact, the Pacific Fleet should have sailed into the Marmara Sea before the arbitration was opened, so as to prevent a surprise attack by the Soviet Black Sea Fleet." Damn, we had been planning to wait until the Soviet fleet was approaching before the arbitration began, but we didn't expect them to strike suddenly. ”

At the beginning, in order to "take care of" the situation of the Turkish government, Mario did not deploy the aircraft carrier battle group near the Turkish Strait, but now it seems that both the CIA and the White House have made mistakes in this matter. Now it will take at least a week for the aircraft carrier battle group to bypass the Mediterranean Sea and rush to the Turkish Strait.

"President Mario, if we can get the British fleet into Turkey now, maybe it will be too late to save it." Director Tenet suddenly thought that even without himself, but there was the closest ally to the Turkish Straits, Great Britain. As long as the British are willing to nod, then the American side can pull back a game.

"British? Now that the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is worried about the events in Scotland and the Brexit referendum, they are not available to help our interests in Turkey. President Mario pondered, his brows slowly twisted into a knot, it seemed that now it seemed that he was still ahead, but what conspiracy was behind the Soviet Union, Mario had no way of knowing.

Britain is no longer able to take care of it, let alone expect the EU to go with the flow, and Germany and France only care about the low-hanging profits, and never take risks to do thankless things. What's more, these two countries are still colluding with the Soviet Union behind their backs for economic reasons.

"The only thing that can be counted on now is the Turkish Navy, but the strength of the Turkish Navy is simply very different from that of the Soviet Union, even during the Tsarist period, the former Ottomans were also beaten by the second-rate navy of Tsarist Russia."

Tenet is not optimistic about the prospects of the Turkish Navy, but this does not prevent him from peddling new American ships to Turkey after this crisis. Wherever there are regional conflicts, there are arms dealers from the permanent members of the United Nations.

"So what?" President Mario asked.

"I think we should send the carrier battle group to Turkish waters, and even if the Turkish military complains about it, we must maintain the first gate to prevent the Soviet Red Navy from entering the Mediterranean. And the sooner the better, before the worst happens, we can remedy it. ”

"What about the PKK side?" Mario asks another crucial question. At first, Tenet swore that the Soviet Union would attack Turkey over the PKK.

Tenet gave President Mario a surprisingly negative answer, "No, the PKK has not done anything." Instead of spurring the PKK to expand its reach, the Soviet Union's financial aid had instead had a sense of vanishing, as if they did not want to do anything at this time. ”

"Huh?" Hearing the news, President Mario was also stunned, he didn't expect this to be the case now. If the PKK does not act, then where will the most critical move of the USSR fall?

President Mario suddenly stood up and began to walk back and forth in his office, appearing in a gesture of silence in front of others whenever he was in trouble.

"I have a bad feeling, Director Tenet."

President Mario stopped, turned to the nervous Director Tenet and said, "Until now, have we been following the will of the Soviet Union step by step?" Or is everything we do what the USSR wants to happen. ”

"This ......" Tenet pondered at the answer, but he really couldn't think of any pawn other than the Kurdistan Workers' Party in the east that Yanayev could deter Turkey's security. Black Sea Fleet? If the Soviet Union were to use the Black Sea Fleet as the only counterbalance, it would only mean that Yanayev had run out of skills.

"Think about it, are we all missing something, what are the most critical details that we haven't noticed?"

As soon as Mario said this, Tenet remembered the previous mention of the coup d'état in Turkey, but this idea was rejected by Tenet from the beginning, and the Turkish military and the Soviet side could be said to be on mutual beware, and it was impossible for them to reach an agreement on this matter. Moreover, the stability of Turkey is not in the interests of the Soviet Union, which is why Director Tenet thinks that the Soviet Union will start on the more reliable issue of Kurdish separatism.

"I can't think of what kind of backhand the Soviet Union has, but now we have to be prepared to prevent the Soviet Union from counterattacking on the Turkish issue. I hope that President Mario will negotiate with Director Tenet to sail the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group into the waters of the Pacific. ”

"Of course, I will contact the Turkish president about this."

After giving this advice that is better than nothing, the two sides fell into a long silence.

President Mario raised his hand and glanced at the time, now almost the end of the Permanent Arbitration Tribunal, because the Soviet Union unilaterally refused to attend, so the Permanent Arbitration Tribunal naturally ruled on the basis of the materials presented by Turkey.

The outside of the tribunal is now filled with journalists from all over the world, all waiting for the final outcome. Will Turkey win the case, or will the USSR win the case? But no matter who wins or loses, the Black Sea will not be calm in the future. Because the retaliation of the USSR always came as a surprise to everyone.

As the hands on the watch turned the last minute, there was a knock on the door of the president's office. President Mario said please come in. I saw a panting US National Security Advisor Sandy Berger walk in and say to President Mario, "The arbitration is out, the Soviet Union lost the case, and Turkey won the case." ”

Director Tenet turned his head and said with a wicked smile at President Mario, "This ending is really exactly the same as the ending of Nicaguara in 1986, but everyone knows the result." ”

"At least now we have a fair reason to deploy anti-missile systems. The charges were, of course, the result of the reluctance of the USSR to carry out the verdict. President Mario said with a smile, everyone understands that the so-called arbitration is a waste of paper, but this waste paper can allow the United States to stand on the moral high ground and serve its own interests with confidence.

All guarantees are maintained on the basis of the overall strength of the country, and any idea of sanctioning other countries with a piece of paper is not only ridiculous, but also naïve.

The American is not naïve because he needs the momentum of international public opinion.

Turkey pretends to be naïve because he needs the assistance of the Americans.

In fact, the conspiracy behind it is much the same. It is only more than 20 years later that the United States has resorted to the same tactics in order to deploy THAAD to contain the rise of the great powers in the East.

However, Mario has some expectations in his heart, what means Yanayev is still hiding and not revealed. (To be continued.) )
