The third more

The scheduled negotiations between Demirel and the military department were delayed by almost four hours, which caused extreme dissatisfaction among the Turkish military department, which was already skeptical and resistant to Demirel's plan to build an anti-missile system on Turkish soil. Now the Turkish president has not only delayed the meeting, but it is even rumored that he has signed an agreement with US President Mario to have the US aircraft carrier battle group protect Turkey's interests.

This is simply a naked humiliation of the Turkish Navy, not to mention the stationing of the US aircraft carrier battle group in the Sea of Marmara, no one knows what President Mario, whose ambitions are no less than Yanayev, will do. Maybe it can directly blackmail the Turkish government to control Turkey's politics, and the United States did not do such a lack of moral things in South America back then, otherwise how could Mexico have been wary of the United States?

In Demirel's conversations with President Mario, Mario has revealed this dangerous tendency, one of which is the free passage of American aircraft carriers in the Turkish Straits, which for the Turkish military is equivalent to handing over half of the country's sovereignty to someone else.

Demirel walked into the conference room, and the person in charge of the negotiations was the commander-in-chief of the War Department, Mazyer, the spokesman for the interests of the Turkish army. However, Mazier's expression was not kind, and it was clear that he had endured enough of the current Turkish government, including President Demirel and Prime Minister Erbakan.

Demirel's successive diplomatic blunders are just a flashpoint, revealing the president's incompetence and weakness. In contrast, Erbakan's actions have shocked and panicked the Turkish army, because Erbakan's Turkish Prosperity Party has shown Islamic radical tendencies, and the National Security Council has also noticed that Erbakan's Prosperity Party is ready to intervene at any time in defiance of the constitutional ban on religious interference in politics.

All the contradictions have come together, resulting in a calm surface within Turkish politics, but an undercurrent underneath. On the one hand, the secular army that protects Turkey is ready to intervene in this political dispute, on the other hand, Demirel wants to find his own political investors in NATO or the United States to increase his influence in the country, and on the other hand, Erbakan wants to convert Turkey to Islam, so that it is in the interests of religious sects.

All in all, Turkey is now in a period of internal and external troubles, and various forces want to play their part in this political struggle. Of course, the Turkish army, as the mastermind behind the scenes, controls all the drama. Demirel's negotiations with the military department were ridiculous, because he never knew how many cards the military department did not have.

"I don't understand, President Demirel." Mazyel snuffed out the cigarette butt and said to Demirel, "Why is it that in this Black Sea crisis, the American aircraft carrier battle group is rushing to Turkish waters, and you have personally issued a decree to allow navigation." I hope President Demirel will be able to explain? What the hell is going on. ”

Maziel smiled indifferently, but there was an invisible pressure that forced Demirel to face up to what General Maziel said.

"Ahem, that's right." "We cannot face a strong Soviet Union alone, and now is the time when we need the support of our allies." I hope that the United States will be able to create a strategic threat in the Sea of Marmara and deter another Soviet attack. That's what I'm trying to achieve. ”

Turkey, which survives in the cracks of the great powers, understands this truth better, so it will join NATO and win over the United States to suppress the Soviet Union. Every move Demirel made was for himself.

"Oh? Is it? General Maziel narrowed his eyes and said to Demirel, "So what's the conversation between you and the United States?" Ceded the right of passage through the Turkish Straits right, right? Let the nations of the world share our seas? Or is President Demirel betraying his national interests in order to protect his position? ”

Demirel's face twitched, and his face instantly turned pale. He didn't know where General Mazyeer heard about his deal with the United States, but he knew that the conversation wasn't going to be easy.

Maziel deliberately lit another cigarette slowly, leaned back on the sofa and said slowly, "Do you know what Prime Minister Erbakan has been doing recently? Although Erbakan is in charge of domestic politics, his performance has disappointed us very much. ”

Maziel raised his head and said word by word, "He actually wants to make Turkey into an Islamic state, do you know how much effort it took by the Kemal Father to transform Turkey into what it is now?" ”

Maziel sighed, "Now the National Security Council is very angry and angry, and it is very likely that they will intervene in the El Bakan incident at any time." I'm telling you about this now, I'm not afraid that you've leaked the news, I think you know why. ”

"Of course, I'll keep my mouth shut about it." Demirel's throat rolled several times before he reluctantly replied to Maziel. He knew that the military had absolute control over politics. So even if Erbakan knew about these things, there was nothing he could do, after all, the military is the leader of a country.

Not to mention that the executive capacity of the National Security Council is no less than that of the Soviet Cheka. The thought of an invisible sword hanging above his head made Demirel feel a palpitation.

"Very well, President Demirel. I hope that no one will do anything stupid in relations with the USSR. After all, our worst enemy is internally, not this superpower. The possibility of large-scale unrest in the east at any time is our primary concern. ”

"I understand." Demirel said.

The two then fell into a long silence.

Maziel is not here to educate Demirel this time, but to stabilize the president and make Demirel think that the military does not want to tear his face with him yet.

But then there will be an unexpected change, which is quietly being deployed.

"That's the end of this conversation, we will never cede any right of passage in the Turkish Straits in general. In the same way, we will not allow the US aircraft carrier battle group to enter and leave our Sea of Marmara at will, this is a condition put forward by the military, and you let them do it themselves. ”

General Mazyer's attitude was so tough that President Demirel could not refute it. (To be continued.) )
