Chapter 284: You Can't Afford to Lose

The second update is complete

Demirel's request to visit the Kremlin is indeed not an honorable thing, and the Turkish president, who swore a while ago, has become a lost dog in the blink of an eye. There is even a story of Henry IV braving the wind and snow to kneel down to Gregory VII and admit his mistake. One can't help but associate the owner of the Kremlin with the powerful pope of the Middle Ages, and the night side confirms that the neighbors who offend the Soviet Union will not end well. From Poland to Turkey, countries that had a dispute with the Soviet Union ended up trembling in front of the giant claws of the red polar bear.

Demirel's arrival in Moscow coincided with a rare heavy snowfall, and on the way to the Kremlin, the gray weather and the deep accumulation of snow added to the anxiety and gloom in his heart. The Kremlin negotiations were destined to be difficult, and the Soviet Union had at least a hundred ways to make things difficult for the Turkish president.

However, to Demirel's surprise, Moscow did not do much to obstruct him, but generously welcomed Demirel's arrival, and they arranged the meeting place in the St. George Hall, which is now a world that journalists cannot enter.

When Yanayev appeared, Demirel was visibly nervous, and the expressionless and tall general secretary gave Demirel an invisible sense of oppression, as if the other party was now in control of a huge army, ready to crush him to pieces. Yanayev walked up to Demirel, politely stretched out his hand, and said without a trace of emotion, "President Demirel, welcome to Moscow." ”

The latter phrase "Welcome to Moscow" is simply a hint of murderous intent. Demirel swallowed. The previous arrogance and arrogance are all gone. All that was left was the heartfelt awe of the man in front of him. He stretched out his hand a little stiffly and said slowly, "Hello, General Secretary Yanayev. ”

After the two sat down, they talked about the recent downing of fighter jets by the Soviet Union and Turkey, and Turkey changed its previous tone, claiming that the incident was purely a misunderstanding, and that they thought that the fighter plane that had invaded its airspace was preparing for a fight, so the Turkish fighter planes that happened to be patrolling the border would shoot it down directly.

Demirel's subtext is that I have already stated that it was a misunderstanding. You should have stopped on the Kurdish issue, right?

It's okay to fool a three-year-old child, but it's a bit of a cover up to say it on such an occasion. Yanayev just sneered in his heart, watching Demirel's every move with a cold eye, misunderstanding? You let me lose a fighter, this is called a misunderstanding?

Yanayev interrupted Demirel's eloquent remarks, "With all due respect, President Demirel. If a fighter plane is shot down, if it can be justified by a misunderstanding, then there is no such thing as a national political conflict. So the USSR will not explain the accident with the statement of misunderstanding. ”

"If this is a misunderstanding, the Soviet Union launched a war against Turkey all the way to Istanbul, and after the war ended, can it also be described as a misunderstanding? We dropped a tactical nuclear weapon on Ankara, can it also be described as a misunderstanding? ”

Hear what Yanayev said. The Turkish president was suddenly drenched in a cold sweat, and he had seen the madness and unwillingness of the Soviets. Now that the suppression of civil strife has already made Demirel emaciated, wouldn't the thirteenth Russo-Turkish war make Turkey lose even the last Black Sea strait?

"That's not what we mean, General Secretary Yanayev. It's just that we think that this incident is purely a certain misinterpretation of the communication between the two sides, and it really ......" Demirel was a little incoherent in a hurry.

At this time, Yanayev took out a Turkish daily newspaper from behind him and threw it in front of Demirel, "Misunderstanding? What the newspaper says is also called a misunderstanding? Defense Minister Sabahatin said that they would be able to capture the USSR in a few weeks, is such an arrogant statement still a misunderstanding? ”

This time Demirel really wanted to cry without tears, and the newspaper in black and white could not erase the evidence of the crime. He had no idea that Yanayev would confront Demirel so stubbornly in this matter. It seems that the biggest mistake Turkey has ever made is to provoke the red polar bear next to it.

"If you come out to mix, sooner or later you will have to pay a price, and when you offend the Soviet Union, you should think clearly about today's fate." Yanayev's expression became gloomy, which, in Demirel's opinion, was worse than the snowy weather in October.

"Since the Turkish president was so arrogant that you could take Moscow, then the Kurdish unrest is a price you have to pay. The Turkish president also doesn't really want to see Kurdistan establish a new regime in the Middle East, a new state, right? ”

"Of course I don't want to, and I ask General Secretary Yanayev to raise his hand and stop aiding the Kurds." Seeing that the other party finally got to the point, Demirel hurriedly took a hot iron to solve the problem.

"Of course we have no problem with the Kurdish side, but you should go to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for negotiations, and not talk to us, right? And it's not the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) that we help. "Yanayev deliberately pretended not to know anything in front of Demirel and kicked the ball to Assad.

Just when Demirel was at a loss, Yanayev gave him a shot in the arm, "Of course, if we can reach a common agreement on the Black Sea straits, maybe we can find common ground on the Kurdish issue." With that, Yanayev smiled at him kindly, as if it were just an innocuous topic.

Hearing Yanayev's reply, Demirel's eyes widened and he looked at Yanayev in front of him as if he were looking at a terrible devil.

After beating around the bush for so long, the Black Sea straits were where the fundamental interests of the Soviet Union lie, and at this time Demirel had almost no bargaining chips in his hands to reject the Soviet Union. He pursed his lips and was about to speak, but Yanayev was the first to interrupt.

Yanayev continued to say defiantly, "If the issue of the Black Sea straits cannot be negotiated, then I think there is no value in continuing to discuss all the issues that follow." If your country is not convinced, you can directly go to the thirteenth war, anyway, the Soviet Union can afford to fight. ”

After speaking, he added very arrogantly, "As for whether you lose or not, I don't know." (To be continued.) )
