Chapter 987
In fact, Soviet Russia's support for Turkey has not been made public to the extent that everyone knows about it. However, it can be regarded as a semi-open secret, and from a certain point of view, Soviet Russia can be regarded as a country with a good face.
If it was a time of war in the past, it would have been forgotten, but now is the time when Soviet Russia has just regained its strength and should be slaughtered. At this time, I was suddenly slapped in the face by Turkey, a country that had never been taken seriously in the past, and it was strange to say that the Russians could tolerate it!
In addition, Turkey during this period was definitely much stronger than the same period in history, while Britain, France and other countries were much weaker than the same period in history. Comparing each other with each other in this way, Soviet Russia's confidence was naturally very inflated, and it became more and more unbearable to bear this humiliation...
So in the midst of the shouting and killing, although Lenin wanted to be as patient as he was then, he finally had to succumb to the pressure of the crowd.
It is just that although Lenin was forced to make some statements under pressure, this does not mean that Lenin really intended to make the situation out of control. Lenin himself still wanted to be able to control the whole situation within a limited range, not only Lenin himself, but also many others.
After all, today's Soviet Russia cannot afford the price of a large-scale war, and there is no need to delay the best opportunity for recovery and development because of this.
So the whole war was mainly about punishment, that is, to teach the Turks a lesson, so that they understood what the price of betrayal was.

Located in the southern part of Soviet Russia, there are countless soldiers in gray military uniforms. Carrying his weapon on his back, he headed in the direction of the south and walked along the dirt road.
The high military songs continued to sound, which made the morale of the entire army extremely high. And riding on a tall horse, looking at the army in front of him, the commander who led the unit couldn't help but show a trace of pride on his face.
As a former officer of the Russian army, he has also seen many troops. But only this force is the one he is most proud of. Because this army has won almost every war in the past, whether it is against the white bandits at home or the invaders abroad, they have never let themselves down.
Because this is a heroic force. It is a force that belongs to the people of Soviet Russia.
And he believed it deeply. This time, this force will also not let itself, let Soviet Russia, let the Kremlin down...
Actually, it's not just this officer. Many of the people in this team are also full of confidence in the trip.
"Turks. A group of native chickens. Just wave your hand and you'll be able to solve it..."
It is not that they are overly proud, but because this army is not entirely composed of workers and peasants, and there are some former officers and even soldiers of the Russian army. This is not surprising. After all, Soviet Russia could not have won the October Revolution if it had relied on the workers and peasants alone, and the support of the army was also a part of success.
It is precisely because there are many soldiers in the former Russia, so some of these people have fought against the Turks, and they are naturally clear about how much strength the Turks have.
Although the current Turkish unit may be a little more combat-ready than the Russians encountered in the Caucasus. But they don't know, and even if they do?
Even the British, the Americans and the French have won the war, are they still afraid that some Turks will not succeed?
Thus, while the "Lausanne Conference" was still being held, the Soviet Russian units of about two armies began to move in the direction of the Caucasus. The troops of these two armies can almost be said to be the elite of Soviet Russia, with a total strength of about 100,000.
It is not that Soviet Russia cannot send more troops, after all, the total number of troops in Soviet Russia is now as high as more than 5 million. If there are about 100,000 troops, it is only equivalent to one-fiftieth of the total number of troops, but the total number of troops is more than 5 million, which does not mean that all the troops that can be dispatched are also more than 5 million.
Moreover, with the current national strength of Soviet Russia, an expedition of about 100,000 people can be regarded as the limit. After all, this is not a local operation, and all logistics can be solved in situ, but need to be transported from the rear.
The most important point is that Lenin did not want the situation to become really out of control. Since you don't want to make too much trouble, you can only control the scale, at this time, the strength of about 100,000 people is just right!
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Ankara, where Istanbul is largely occupied, has become the titular capital of Turkey.
At the same time, with the end of the war, the former prosperity was gradually restoredββββββ but in fact the war was not completely over, because the Greeks were not reconciled to the Lausanne Conference, which was currently being held. Despite their repeated defeats on the Turkish battlefield, the fatal defeat had not yet occurred, and the Turks felt that they still had some hope.
This qiΔ and qiΔ all supported the Greeks to persevere.
It's just that the Greeks can't disobey the orders of Britain and France, and without the support of Britain and France, the Greeks can't independently carry out combat missions on Turkish soil.
Therefore, the Greeks had to temporarily stop fighting, but instead of returning to Greece proper, they left their troops in Turkey and waited for the outcome of the negotiations. If the negotiations fail, then it is natural to continue fighting. If it's successful, it's never too late to quit...
It is precisely because of this that the Greeks have been moving troops to Turkey in recent times and hoarding supplies. As for this move of the Greeks, Britain and France had no intention of stopping it.
At the moment, the Turks and Soviet Russia are indeed falling out, but who dares to guarantee that the negotiations will be successful? If it doesn't work out...
Then, then it's time to fight. Moreover, this is also a gesture that represents that Britain and France have not yet given up their position of using force to solve the problem. Although this gesture may not have any special effect, it can at least make the Turks understand that they are not qualified to negotiate terms with Britain and France...
Anyway, it's always a good thing that the war can end, and it's the same for the people of Ankara.
After all, after a period of chaos, everyone cherishes the current time of peace.
And then...
In Ankara, in Kemal's office, Kemal was looking at a telegram that had recently arrived in his hands by the light.
The telegram was very simple, an update on the Lausanne meeting on the Swiss side.
At least so far. The progress of the whole meeting was relatively smooth. Britain and France did not make things too difficult for Turkey. And at Kemal's request, the Turkish delegation did not put forward any conditions that were unacceptable to Britain and France, but ...
On the entire telegram, in addition to the report on the latest developments. It is also full of strong resentment. Naturally, the target is the Chinese government...
After seeing the complaints that were flooded with telegrams. Kemal shook his head, his face looking a little ugly.
"These Chinese..."
"Why are you so angry..."
Seeing Kemal's face, an official on the side had the same ugly face. But I still want to persuade.
"The Chinese will take an opposing position on this matter, isn't that something we expected for a long time? If you have expected it, then why be so angry...", the official was silent for a moment before adding. "For those Chinese affected the mood, it's not worth it..."
Apparently that's what he did, but whether he could do it or not was hard to say.
At least looking at his face, it doesn't seem to be very successful.
In fact, they also knew that the possibility of success was very small, but there was a vaguely implied support from Britain and France at that time. Add to that the fact that there is a lot of domestic demand and that Turkey does need a lot of money to support the reconstruction effort.
Therefore, half-pushed and half-pushed, Kemal and others agreed.
Who would have thought that the Chinese's position on this matter would be so tough, and the reaction would be so fierce, completely as if they were about to tear their faces if they disagreed. However, the Turks did not have the ability to tear their faces, or they did not have the confidence to tear their faces with China, so they had to swallow their anger and swallow this shame.
It's impossible to just swallow and swallow it, and treat it as if it never happened. It is precisely because of this relationship that the Turkish government is full of resentment towards China. Especially on the part of the Turkish delegation, after all, they were the ones who were embarrassed at the beginning!
"Speaking ofβ" After a slight mutter, the official just now walked up to Kemal's side. Recently, Britain and France have frequently made overtures to China, and it seems that they want to get China closer to them and help the two countries contain China's strength in the Middle East......... If Britain and France are willing to provide some support to our country, perhaps our country may not have to regard China as the only option..."
Hearing him say this, Kemal did not speak, but he did not say anything against it.
In fact, it is precisely this question that Kemal is thinking about at the moment, and Turkey's international situation is obviously much better than it was some time ago. At least for the time being, Britain and France have frequently made overtures to Turkey, and Turkey's international situation has changed a lot. In this case, it is not certain whether Turkey still needs China.
After all, what China can provide, Britain and France may not be able to provide. And whether in terms of strength or international status, for many people, the status of Britain and France is still much stronger than that of China.
It's just that Kemal hadn't made up his mind at that time, and that's true now.
However, some time ago, although he was the first to try on his side, the Chinese actually did not give face, which made the Turks feel a great loss of face, and at the same time, Kemal could not help but have a trace of hatred towards China.
Similarly, whether or not to continue to rely on China has become something that Kemal needs to consider.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Looking at Kemal sitting there thinking about it, the official didn't say much.
In fact, there are four main factions in Turkey at present, one of which is naturally the so-called conservatives, which can basically be said to be hostile to all outsiders. This is true no matter who it is. There is also a faction that is pro-British and French, to be precise, it is more inclined to Britain and France, and the third faction is inclined to China, and their argument is also very practical, that is, China is the closest to Turkey after all, and Turkey may need to rely on China for many things in the future, so it is definitely beneficial for Turkey to be closer to China.
As for the last faction, of course, it is Soviet Russia.
This is not surprising, after all, in any case, Soviet Russia has supported the Turks for such a long time, plus it also has a certain strength. It is said that among the Turks there are those who support Soviet Russia. This is definitely a very normal and ordinary thing.
But for now, it is the conservatives and the British and French who have the upper hand.
On the other hand, Kemal may have thought about what was on the telegram, and his face became a little ugly. It's just that there is already a decision in my heart. But this decision is not easy to make.
After all, China is right next to Turkey. If you rashly offend China. Who knows what will happen? Turkey is already plagued by disasters today, and Kemal would not want to add some more to this disaster if he could...
Not to mention such a decision. Even if Kemal can indeed be called a man of his word in Turkey now, there is still a big gap compared with Yan Shao's status in China, and it is almost impossible to want a word.
But just as Kemal was about to call everyone over and discuss which side Turkey should stand on in the future, there was a sudden knock at the door.
"Your Excellency, this is the information that the Chinese just provided..."
After walking in directly from the outside, the man did not care about Kemal's surprised appearance, but directly stuffed a telegram into Kemal's hand.
There was some surprise, some strangeness, but Kemal still opened the telegram as fast as he could, but the news of the face made Kemal seem a little surprised...
"Russians?!"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The content of the telegram sent by the Nationalist government to Kemal was very simple, that is, the news of the Soviet Russian troops. Perhaps because of the relationship just after the end of the war, the mobilization work of Soviet Russia did not take long, especially the war materials and so on, which could be raised very simply.
So it didn't take long for Soviet Russia to send enough troops south. It also makes the intelligence network of the Turks seem somewhat...
It was precisely because of this that Kemal did not understand until he saw the telegram in his hand that the Russians had actually decided to send troops.
"Your Excellency, this..." also saw the content of the telegram, and the other official couldn't help but be stunned.
Although he had already expected that after playing Soviet Russia once this time, Soviet Russia would definitely not give up, but he never thought that Soviet Russia would actually send troops. This is not an ordinary trivial matter, but a big thing, after all, if 100,000 Soviet troops go south, it will pose a great threat to Turkey.
It is especially important that at the moment the Turks do not have a lot of forces in the Caucasus direction, which can almost be described as weak and empty. There is no way, who called Turkey to have good relations with Soviet Russia in the past, there is no need to worry that the Russians will send troops to clean themselves up, and in the other two directions, on the one hand, they have to fight the Greeks, and on the other hand, they have to be on guard Chineseββββββ in fact, the Soviet Russian side will choose to send troops, which also has a lot to do with this.
It doesn't mean that the Turks really don't have the slightest force in the direction of the Caucasus, but that number of troops is really not enough. If the Soviet Russia can launch a sudden attack, it can even hit the hinterland of Turkey very lightly, and it is not impossible to even visit Ankara...
"It looks like it's been an eventful time...", Kemal took a small deep breath to calm himself down as much as he could.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
In Kemal's opinion, this time the trouble is really not small, after all, in the direction of the Caucasus, the Turkish forces can no longer be described as empty, and at this time the Russians really seized a wonderful opportunity to send troops.
"Soβ" After a slight mutter, Kemal, who had opened his eyes, spoke. Immediately ordered the troops in the confrontation with Greece and China to urgently move north in the direction of the Caucasus. At the same time, the troops in the direction of the Caucasus must be held back by Soviet Russia, at least until other reinforcements arrive..."
With that, Kemal continued. "There is also the need to convey this news to Britain, France and China, and tell them that we need their support..."
After speaking, Kemal glanced at the text on the table and couldn't help but sigh.
Originally, he had already decided to choose a team between China and Britain and France, who would have thought that such a thing would happen. But now. Apparently it is impossible to do so. Even if it does, it can only choose China. After all, in the case of being hated by Soviet Russia, Turkey very much needs to have a solid ally. The identity of this ally is definitely not good for Britain and France, then there is only China ...
After all, China is the closest to Turkey. It is also most likely to give direct support to Turkey ...
It seems to have seen Kemal's decision. The official couldn't help but open his mouth. In fact, he really wanted Kemal to confirm the news. After all, no one knows whether the news given by the National Social Government is really true news? It's also possible that the news is fake.
And even if the Chinese did not deceive them, what if the Chinese themselves were deceived by the Russians?
But Kemal came from a military background. It is clear that this kind of thing is very difficult to deceive.
What's more, the fighter plane is fleeting, and under such a shape, he would rather bet that the Chinese did not deceive him, than because he felt that the Chinese might have deceived him, rather than to investigate clearly, and finally delayed the fighter...
It's just that...
Having said that, at the same time as the order was given, Kemal still asked people to inquire about the situation in Soviet Russia. But before the person who went to the Caucasus to confirm the news could reply, Kemal knew that this time it was indeed true.
Because not long after the Chinese's warning was raised, the British and French warnings also followed...
Uh-huh, sorry sorry, I'll make it up in the next two hours!!
