The first update

When the formation of the Backfire bombers of Figure 22 swept over the Black Sea, the world was not only shocked, but also feared by the great military power of the Soviet Union. The Tu-22 Backfire bomber soars through the blue-white sky like a swan with white wings, of course, it is not an olive branch of peace, but AS-4 missiles aimed at surface ships, especially American aircraft carriers. The 11-meter-long and nearly Mach 2.5 speed was enough to threaten the security of the Stanisk carrier battle group.

The Backfire bomber flew over the Black Sea at sunset, and its white fuselage was rendered in a brilliant golden yellow, like a long-distance migrating swan. They were surrounded by Su-27s to escort and ensure the safety of this covering mission. The setting sun gripped the bombers, almost forgetting that this was a war machine forged by the Red Empire, and the Grim Reaper soaring through the sky looked more like a work of art.

Soon they will reach the operational area and deter the actions of the Turkish Navy and even the American fleet. There was no fear in the eyes of these young pilots. Before carrying out this mission, they kissed their children goodbye, their wives. Hugged his father and mother. They just told each other that it was just an ordinary mission, but they hid the danger that they might brush shoulders with death.

But they did not hesitate and resolutely walked to the cockpit. In the most critical moment of a country, there will always be someone who stands up, stands in the most dangerous position, and always stands there, not taking a step back. Neither the armored forces of the Nazis, nor the war air strikes of NATO, they will not back down a single step.

Not only for the great motherland, but also for their own families.

"Here is the Tu-22 bomber formation, which was ordered to cover the Black Sea Fleet exercise training."

"Here is the Su-34 bomber formation, which was ordered to cover the Black Sea Fleet exercise training."

On this day, a red warning sounded over the Black Sea, and not only the Turkish Navy, but the entire Black Sea countries would once again feel the strength and fear from the Red Empire. Like a monarch overlooking all beings, with indifferent eyes, he passed by the poor people who surrendered at his feet. They trembled and collapsed in the face of the Soviet Union's formidable army in Eastern Europe.

Here we are, where are the opponents?

Perhaps the worst move Washington could have made was to keep the carrier strike group in the narrow stretch of Marmara, leaving Captain Hendlisk in a dilemma. President Mario is just a politician who is accustomed to the game-playing thinking of politicians adding chips to the chessboard and forcing Moscow to make concessions. But what the military pays attention to in war is efficiency, how to destroy all the enemy's living forces in the shortest possible time. Make it impossible for the opponent to attempt to fight back.

Taking a step back, once the Soviets tear their skins and prepare for an apocalyptic war, the elegant backfire bomber formation will surely cross the Turkish air defense network and deal a devastating blow to the aircraft carrier fleet off the coast of Marmara.

With the clamor of fighter engines in the sky and the dense specks on radar displays, the Soviet bomber fleet from the Sevastopol base has already shocked the governments of Bulgaria and Romania. The heads of state of the two countries held emergency meetings separately.

The Bulgarian president had previously traded interests with the Soviet side, so although he was resentful of the Soviet bomber formation's flight over the Black Sea Fleet, his tone was restrained, and this year's new president, Pyotr Stoyanov, and the previous Zhelyu-Zhelev, both came from the Democratic Forces Party, so Stoyanov's protests were cautious and humble in the face of the Soviet Union's tough measures. Speaking to reporters at a news conference, he said, "I hope that all parties in the Black Sea issue will exercise restraint and urge both Turkey and the Soviet Union to return to the negotiating table as soon as possible to resolve the issue." Triggering a confrontation in the waters of the Black Sea does not effectively solve the problems that have arisen. ”

Romanian President Konstantinescu resolutely stood on the side of NATO, strongly protesting and condemning the Soviet Union's behavior of aggravating the conflict in the Black Sea. At the press conference, President Constantinescu's speech was tragic and pompous.

"Romania now needs to be protected, and our homeland is facing a serious threat from the Soviet Union. This threat not only threatens sovereignty, but also threatens human civilization. That's why I call on NATO countries to devote more energy to the Black Sea. ”

This time, Constantinescu did not behave at both ends of the year, and when he talked to President Mario, he was more urgent, even threatening, "We don't want to wake up the next day and the streets are full of Soviet tanks, if the United States or NATO cannot protect the interests of Eastern European countries, then we will negotiate with the Soviet Union on our own to decide the future of Romania." ”

What Konstantinescu meant was that if you were not willing to help the Eastern European countries that were threatened by the Soviet Union, then it was possible that the Eastern European countries would change their position and become protectorates of the Iron Curtain again.

So Mario is now in a very awkward position, and he does not want to involve the United States in the Black Sea affairs. But the situation forced itself to protest against what the Soviet troops were doing. In other words, the United States has gone too far, and the situation has coerced itself into this dispute.

"That old fox Yanayev actually lured us into the bait with this method." Mario said distraughtly. He just wanted to exert diplomatic pressure on the Soviet Union, but he did not expect that in the end he would be subjected to diplomatic pressure by the other side. President Mario is now faced with two choices.

First, it adopted a soft attitude, withdrew the aircraft carrier battle group in an awkward position, and actively promoted tripartite talks to resolve these issues at the negotiating table. The second is to adopt a hard-hitting attitude, and the aircraft carrier directly crosses the strait to threaten the Soviet Black Sea Fleet. But the Soviet Air Force's Tu bomber formations were watching themselves, in other words, neither outcome was in the interests of the US government.

"The scene is out of control." President Mario scratched his head, what he needed now was to understand where the Soviet Union's next move would fall. At least now the prelude to laying an anti-missile system for yourself in Eastern Europe has been completed. The U.S. government needed a decent step back to convince the Eastern European countries that it was capable of helping them contain the Soviet Union's strategic expansion.

However, events are far from going in the direction he wanted, and when President Mario is in a dilemma, Yanayev finally plays the last trump card.

A hole card that will put an end to this farce once and for all. (To be continued.) )
