Chapter 637: It's a Mistake
At the height of the Cold War confrontation, both sides possessed a large number of nuclear bombs, and if some miscalculation caused the two sides to fire nuclear bombs at each other, this was obviously a situation that no one wanted to see. In order to inform both sides and avoid the risk www.biquge.info of nuclear war at the last minute, the top leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union created a hotline in order to inform both sides and avoid the risk of nuclear war at the last minute.
The original hotline was just a simple confidential telegram, but now it has developed into a two-way telephone line, which can communicate in real time through satellite relay.
And now, after connecting the summit hotline, Reagan's heart is still reluctant, after all, whoever picks up the summit hotline first indicates who actually has the upper hand, at least in Reagan's heart.
The radio waves crossed the ocean and reached Moscow on the other side, and in the Kremlin, the ruler of the Red Empire also picked up the phone: "Hey, hello, I'm Andropov. ”
"Hello, I'm President Reagan." Reagan said: "I heard that Turkey accidentally shot a Su-24 bomber, I think it must be a misunderstanding, and I hope that you can exercise restraint and let us use peaceful means to successfully resolve this crisis." ”
Reagan said that this attack was a mistake, and there must have been a misunderstanding in it, and when he heard this, Andropov on the other side spoke with an inviolable majesty: "Is it? Is that what you mean? Can you represent Turkish officials? ”
"Of course it is." Reagan said: "On behalf of NATO, I will definitely handle this incident correctly, and I don't want to see this incident become the fuse of our third world war, what do you say?" General Secretary Andropov? ”
"We, the Soviets, have always loved peace and hated war, and if the Turkish government can admit its mistakes and compensate us for our losses, then this time we can not hold the Turkish government responsible." Andropov said.
Putting down the phone, Reagan's face turned ugly.
At the beginning, the hot-blooded young man assassinated the Grand Duke of Penant in Sarajevo, which became the fuse of the First World War, and the Germans pretended to be Poles to attack their border posts, which became the fuse of the Second World War.
In this case, it is also necessary for the United States to make certain concessions, after all, Reagan was not a war maniac, and the United States is now accustomed to living a peaceful life. It can be said that the United States has the courage to wage a local war, but it is really not prepared for a world war.
And the Soviets on the other side are afraid that they have always been aiming for the unification of the whole of Europe, right? This time to shoot down the Soviets fighter, although logically speaking, Turkey did not make too many mistakes, after all, it was the Soviets who invaded Turkey's airspace, and the Turkish Air Force was there to defend their homeland, and, under the circumstances at that time, the Turkish Air Force might have thought that this bomber was going to bomb their homeland!
Turkey is not wrong, but it has to make a statement and let this go by.
It is obvious that regardless of whether this conflict was intentional by the Soviets or not, if this incident is not handled properly, it will definitely be detrimental to the United States.
Angering the Soviets, they are definitely going to attack Turkey, and now, those troops who are exercising on the border have long been gearing up, right? As long as Turkey's attitude is not good, they can fight at any time!
The war between the USSR and Turkey together, then the United States will have no drama! Because, the border area between Iran and Turkey happens to be the only place for the United States to send supplies! In the war, how can the United States still send personnel and supplies? If there is no rear passage, then the United States will definitely lose this war!
At that time, the United States was forced to stand with Turkey and open fire on the Soviet troops invading Turkey, and World War III was absolutely about to break out!
Although the brains of the subordinates have made judgments, and the Soviets do not want to fight World War III, those polar bears' brains are sometimes watery, and they will not play their cards according to common sense.
And now, unleashing a war against Turkey is good for the overall strategic interests of the USSR, so the Soviets are likely to strike!
And, the worst thing is that Turkey's control over this region is not strong, because this area is a traditional Kurdish gathering area! This group of Kurds, whose heads are all day long, are thinking about building their own state!
And for this group of Kurds, the government is naturally opposed, in Turkey, the Turkish government preaches that there is not a single Kurdish in its territory, and there are only mountain Turks! These Kurds have always been oppressed, and they were forgotten in the past, but now, the United States is supporting the Kurds in Iraq! The Kurds in Turkey are already showing signs of instability, and once the Soviet Union invades here, as long as they support the local Kurds like the United States, they will be able to successfully control this area! When the time comes, how will the United States still play? There is no way back!
At the beginning, the United States gave Turkey confidence, that is, they were not frightened in front of the Soviet exercises, and these Turkish guys were really bold and shot down Soviet fighters indiscriminately!
During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union were constantly confronting each other, and the fighters of the two sides came into contact from time to time, but under normal circumstances, they used tactics such as ramming to force each other to fly away.
This Turkey is really a dumbfounder.
Now, having finally appeased the Soviets, it is time to put pressure on Turkey to admit its mistake to the Soviet Union and pay a little more money, and this matter is over.
However, Reagan did not expect that when the US ambassador to Turkey conveyed the meaning of the American side to the Turkish government, the Turkish head of state would be furious.
"The servicemen of our country, in order to preserve the territorial integrity and the right to our airspace, shot down an invading bomber, and there is nothing wrong with our Turkish side in this matter! Why should we apologize to the Soviets, admit our mistakes? The head of the Turkish state, Kenan Efren, shouted: "This is absolutely impossible!" At the beginning, the United States said that it would support us in Turkey to defend the sovereignty of our country, and now, this is such a supportive attitude? Compromise and appeasement, President Reagan, is the same as Chamberlain at the beginning! (To be continued.) )
