Chapter 555: Caught off guard

The third more

Mazyel was caught off guard by the Soviet Union's negative vote in the Security Council, and he thought that at least one member of the Security Council would support Turkey's policy, but even Yanayev voted no. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In this way, Turkey's desire for an external mediation in Cyprus has completely collapsed.

What made him even more desperate was that the Cypriot army, covered by air raids and with the help of Greek support forces, was recovering the lost northern part of Cyprus step by step, and after only a week, Northern Cyprus began to urge Turkey to need new aid, and with the current assistance, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus could not hold out for long.

Of course, the Cypriot army also suffered some losses, losing 12 tanks in the recapture of the cities of Morfo and Lefka, and almost encircled them by anti-tank missiles in Northern Cyprus.

Even if Maziel wanted to support the Northern Cyprus regime, because the coastline was blocked by the US aircraft carrier battle group, ordinary freighters could not get close to the island country that was shrouded in the clouds of war. Now it seems that there are only two paths before Maziel. Either surrender to NATO, bow down and agree to deploy anti-missile systems in the country. Either the war will expand and draw both the United States and Greece into the dispute over the Aegean islands.

Maziel faces the most difficult choice, Cyprus is being encroached on bit by bit, and he can only watch the Turks on the island lose their homeland and fall back under Greek rule. Capitulation to Europe and the United States seemed to be the only way out for Mazyer, who did not want to see what Turkey had painstakingly worked to do.

"What? Molfo and Lefka have completely fallen? Maziel could hardly believe his ears.

When Maziel heard the news, he collapsed in his chair almost unsteadily, he did not expect that the Northern Cyprus army would lose so quickly. It seems that the defeat of Northern Cyprus is about to become a foregone conclusion.

"It seems that we can only resume negotiations with the Americans, and because this time the Americans can no longer control us." Maziel covered his face and said indignantly. Turkey is now in a situation where it has enemies from all sides, and if it does not seek a way out, Turkey led by Mazjer will be completely isolated.

Also on Mario's side, he is also waiting for Mazyel's next step. So far, the United States has cut off all the back roads that Turkey can take, and is waiting for the other side to surrender obediently and resume the negotiation project.

Mazyere wants to fight the U.S. government? It's a little too tender. The United States has a myriad of ways to bring Turkey down.

"The probability that Maziel will not surrender is 20 percent, and the probability of surrendering is about 80 percent. We've sealed off all his retreats, in other words, there's no escape from Mazyel. Chief of Staff Powers said excitedly, "The next thing is to let Maziel surrender obediently, they have no chance." ”

"Really?" President Mario replied with some uncertainty, "Turkey has not yet made up its mind to withdraw from NATO, and if it withdraws from NATO, then the island of Cyprus will completely fall into the hands of Greece." This is a nightmare for Turkey. ”

"It's all Turkey's own doing." Powers smiled and said, "Who said that he chose the Soviet Union instead of us?" If Maziel had chosen the United States, there wouldn't have been so many incidents, at least for now. ”

President Mario thought quietly and said thoughtfully, "Yes." It was time to slow down the offensive of the Cypriot army and inform the British Air Force to suspend air strikes on Cyprus and leave Cyprus and the Turkish regime engaged in a tug-of-war. ”

The attack on Northern Cyprus is like a game of cat and mouse for the United States, and his every move will affect the future of the entire Cyprus.

"Why? The situation is so good that we can even help Cyprus take power over the entire north and unify the whole country in one fell swoop, so that even Turkey will have a headache. Powers asked, a little puzzled. No one wants to be defeated at the last minute.

"That's why we can't let Cyprus win too quickly." "If Cyprus wins, we will never be able to negotiate with Turkey," President Mario explained. Because Northern Cyprus is Turkey's last bottom line. Without them, it would be tantamount to a rupture with Turkey. ”

It dawned on Powers that the conflict was nothing more than a ploy by the United States to draw Turkey back into the arms of the Western world, and in fact he also wanted to keep Cyprus in this state of non-independence and non-unity.

"Cyprus, the real purpose is ......here," Powers muttered to himself, "this plan is so clever, but isn't President Mario worried about Turkey's final death?" ”

Mario replied, "Of course I don't worry, as long as Turkey has a way to live, he won't do such a stupid thing as withdrawing from NATO." And now slowing down the offensive on the northern regime, isn't the United States creating a way for Turkey to survive? Of course, we also severely frustrated Turkey's prestige. The loss of two important large cities, this is the price they will pay. ”

"I hope that the next negotiations on the anti-missile system will go more smoothly, after all, Turkey is also one of our earliest customers. If Maziel agrees, the Black Sea anti-missile system defense ring will be formally formed. At that time, the Soviet Union will face a very headache situation. "President Mario sat in front of the phone and hoped that the hotline from Ankara would ring.

"And a fierce counterattack against him on the Turkish Straits issue." Bowers said with a smile.

As soon as the voice ended, a shrill phone rang. A telephone hotline from Turkey is urging Mario to pick up the microphone. Mario didn't pick up the phone immediately, but smiled at Bowers' chief of staff, "It seems that General Maziel can still see the situation clearly." ”

Mario picked up the phone and whispered hello.

The voice on the other end of the phone was a little hurried, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I'm President Mazyer, is it President Mario?" ”

Maziel's simultaneous translation is fast, so there is no delay in Mario and Maziel's communication. Mario held the microphone and replied respectfully to the person on the other end.

"Yes, I'm President Mario. General Mazyer, it's a pleasure to see you again. (To be continued.) )
