Chapter 1493: Today's Qingming Festival
Istanbul is in turmoil, and the makers of it all have diverted to Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, and are driving to Romania in two cars and listening to the radio.
Everything went smoothly before, the high-speed speedboat raced on the sea for more than two hours, not to mention the Turkish warships, planes, and even fishing boats.
The speedboat arrived in the tourist town of Chalevo on the southeast coast of Bulgaria, and Pavel was waiting for them: although Eastern Europe had changed drastically and the Soviet Union no longer existed, they knew Bulgaria too well, and they were as comfortable here as if they were at their grandmother's house.
It's safe.
Come quietly, leave plainly, and that's it.
didn't stay in Bulgaria for too long, a book went north smoothly across the Romanian border, the radio was changed to the Romanian national radio, and after listening to it for a while, Andrei felt a little awkward!
Pavel, who was sitting in the back seat of the same car, said: "Colonel, this time the situation seems to be a little out of control. ”
Andre was expressionless and said, "The bigger the better, the boss should be happy."
By the way, I heard that 20 years ago, when the Turks 1 Strait Bridge was completed, we studied the plan to blow up the bridge.
I didn't expect that..."
There are various plans for NATO, and NATO's estimate of the Warsaw Pact is the same, it is just a plan, and it is prepared.
In the past 20 years, the Turkic bridge has been blown up, and the momentum is still so big, but the motherland is long gone, and the bridge was not blown up for it, which is very sad to think about.
“... I just feel that we have made a very bad start this trip, and future terrorist attacks may develop in an upward-scale way.
The proportion of attacks solely on people is likely to decrease, and the proportion of attacks on important urban facilities should increase significantly. ”
When Pavel heard this, he said: "I was already in the training team 20 years ago, and I remember that one of the original preparatory plans was to find a cargo ship for normal trade, mix in a few containers full of explosives, and put two radio-controlled bombs on standby for a long time, and the detonators would stay in the Highland Hotel by the strait in advance.
As soon as the ship arrives, it sends a signal, and boom!
Now it's easier to do that, just a phone call. ”
Andrei listened to the words of Comrade General, smiled, and said: "It's okay, by chance, the company and the boss have no suspicion at all."
In fact, it is more convenient to attack Istanbul with the methods that were prepared, and there is no need to play such a difficult trick as smashing cargo ships with a bridge. ”
Pavel smiled, "That's only one bomb, it's five kilometers away, and the tsunami can't break it."
The Yankees can attract firepower, but it's also a hassle to put bombs on ships, and there are too many ordinary civilians who die. ”
If you want to play, you have to find a ship that doesn't have its own company's arms.
Attack, play with technology and creativity, as for the 10,000 tons of explosives on this trip if they explode ....
Obediently, the small half of Istanbul will be in ruins.
Rumours continue to brew in Istanbul, and without any new evacuation orders from government agencies, people in the vicinity of the city's straits and at low altitudes are spontaneously evacuating and leaving the danger zone.
Some ran farther, some went to various hills and highlands to find a place to live temporarily, and some simply left Istanbul for refuge.
The government came out to refute the rumors, but it did not stop the citizens from fleeing - this is not pure rumors, how much difference is between 20,000 tons of explosives that could explode at any time and a nuclear bomb?
Except for the absence of nuclear radiation, there is no difference at all, and the lethality is huge!
Ankara declared a state of emergency in the whole country, and a large number of troops were transferred to Istanbul to assist in the evacuation of personnel.
The whole country of Turkey was shocked, and the whole world was shocked, and even the most indifferent American people began to care about the shipwreck in the Bosphorus.
The American people don't care about what Strait Bridge is bombed, but bomb ships comparable to atomic bombs are still happy to see them -- as long as people have a common bad taste, they are not afraid of big things when they see the excitement, and it is human nature to stand far away and gloat.
Most people can watch the excitement, and a large number of countries with interests are still busy contacting the Turkish diplomatic department to get the latest information.
Most of NATO has also taken action, saying that it will take the initiative to send experts to Istanbul to help Turkey deal with the crisis.
NATO is busy, and Russia and Ukraine have come to join in the fun, saying that they can send experts to support if needed.
As for Georgia, Romania and Bulgaria, they are all standard Black Sea countries, and they don't want to swim freely in the "Black Lake" for too long.
However, this will be Russia's statement is just a gesture, and now it is too busy to take care of itself, and actually does not have the energy to join in the fun.
Just over 10 days ago, on March 20, Russian President Yeh issued a "Letter to Russian Citizens" through radio and television, announcing that a vote of confidence in the president and vice president would be held nationwide on April 25, and a vote on the draft of the new constitution and the draft election of the federal parliament would be held at the same time to decide whether the president or parliament would lead the country, and before that, the "special governance" of the president would be implemented.
Seize power.
Three days later, the Russian Constitutional Court fired back, ruling that Ye's "Letter to Citizens" violated the Basic Law of the Russian Federation;
On the 26th, at the Ninth Extraordinary People's Congress, which was urgently convened, representatives of the two opposing factions clashed fiercely and put forward bills to remove President Yip and remove the speaker of the parliament from his post respectively.
However, the votes on the bills of both sides did not result in the required majority, and the meeting finally adopted the decision to hold an all-Russian referendum on April 25.
For Russia, the big trouble is still to come, the political turmoil in Russia will quickly intensify and ferment, and now few people can think that the end of this turmoil is to bombard the White House!
Ye, ruthless!
It doesn't cost money to yell twice, and at the beginning, of course, there are more slogans and few actions. On the NATO side, the United States reacted the fastest, and after coordinating with the Turkish government, the U.S. military sent several divers trained in underwater explosives disposal from its bases in Europe to Istanbul.
It's a few.
Some of the NATO countries are divers, but the divers who can make underwater explosives are very rare: they are not used in ordinary times, and the training is difficult, and there are few countries, and some are treasures.
While sending out a few "golden bumps", Washington also hyped up in the media that the United States would not leave its allies in a crisis...
Wait, wait.
Two days later, President Zipper, who was in Washington, was listening to the CIA's report on the bomb sinking ship, which made people choke on the headache after leaving.
The Turks are going crazy, and they have a tendency to anger the United States like mad dogs: the Turks already know that more than half of the arms on the sunken ship belong to the agents of the American intelligence agencies, and they hide it in their customs declarations.
Of course, the United States is not afraid of Turkey's nerves, but it is also a trouble to poke it open, and it is still the kind of thing that is not finished with the skin.
As soon as the CIA boss left, the staff brought a handout folder that had just been delivered to the White House and handed it to the president, and Mr. Zipper was waiting for the material.
The person who sent the information was from the United Forces branch in Washington-Dampton, and while Mr. President was looking at the materials, the staff of the Oval Office reminded Mr. President: "Mr. Allen's phone number. ”
As soon as the phone was picked up, "Hello!"
"William, has it arrived?"
President Zipper was looking at the information at hand, his brows furrowed, and when he heard this, he said into the phone: "See, thank you!"
"There is nothing to thank us, several underground arms dealers in Ukraine took the initiative to send us a list, and it is clear that they want to transfer it from my side.
They don't seem to like dealing with the people below you, really..."
"Alan, I understand, isn't it just worried about becoming a scapegoat, passing responsibility, killing people or something. ”
The zipper president smiled bitterly, it is rare to tell the truth, the US intelligence agencies should not be too skilled in doing these things.
The list of internal investigations sent by a group of directors and directors below is not as detailed as the one sent by Zhang Nan, and such a list is also a warning from the Ukrainians: I have your handle in my hand, don't think about tearing your face!
To the president's truth, Zhang Nan said "hehe" twice, "William, let people carefully analyze the list, I don't think those brave divers will be sent to death again."
So be it, get in touch when you're available. ”
Zhang Nan and President Zipper are allies and friends to a certain extent, and these powerful local Ukrainian arms dealers can also guess.
Ukrainians think that the combined forces are real, and the most unreliable is the Yankees. After thinking about it, the several parties joined forces, and directly gave the representatives of the joint forces a list of papers and evidence of arms purchases with US intelligence agencies.
The meaning is clear - you Yankee, don't try to plant a blame for me!
Of course, the source material is still in the hands of the Ukrainians.
The United Forces are glad to be the intermediary in this matter and hand over these things: a copy of the list will be given to Washington, and as for the evidence, it will be kept for the time being, lest Washington will not admit it!
The more secrets some people know, the shorter their lives are, as for Zhang Nan, it is absolutely. Many happy returns.
Here Zhang Nan hung up the phone and said naturally: "A group of unlucky people!"
The unfortunate ones are the divers, and today's shipwrecks can explode at any time - there are at least 100,000 fuses of all kinds on board, and even more detonators that will detonate after a certain amount of impact!
The shipwreck is unstable, the currents are unstable, and the explosives that can fire inside can explode at any time.
In fact, it was a good luck for the Turks that the bridge did not directly blow up the cargo ship when it collapsed, and in that case, millions of people would have died in Istanbul!
Explosions can't kill that many people, but tsunamis can!
There are people who are afraid of death, but they are not afraid of death, or there are always people who force themselves to be fearless and have a brain and are not afraid of death.
The shipwreck could turn into an atomic bomb at any time, but divers still went into the water to check the situation;
In order to get the best viewing angle, some TV stations assume that the camera is only a few hundred meters away from the bridge, and once it explodes, the shock wave can easily shoot it into a meatloaf!
There are also people who are reluctant to leave their homes and shops for the sake of property, for fear that they will have nothing after they go...
There are no large-scale robbers in the city, there are more soldiers on the streets than civilians walking, and those who catch a robbery are killed on the spot!
Foreigners evacuated in large numbers, even if the traffic was paralyzed and the Turkish government could not take care of them for the time being, it was no problem to walk on two legs to a high place and run a dozen or twenty kilometers, so the fool continued to live in those star-rated hotels by the strait.
The Golden Horn, an angular bay that bisects the European part of Istanbul, turns the coast golden in the afterglow of the daily sunset.
Beautiful parks and coastal promenades are lined with Robu, and the nearby areas of Fennell and Bharat are dotted with a large number of Byzantine and Ottoman wooden houses, synagogues, mosques, and are popular places for visitors arriving in Istanbul.
Usually there is a lot of people here, and there are people who speak all kinds of languages. However, there is now almost no one in this large area except for the soldiers who are patrolling in cars!
There were quite a few seabirds and stray dogs, as usual, but there were few people in sight.
No way, the altitude of this large area is too low, most of them are below ten meters, or even only two or three meters.
Once there is a tsunami, you can rush all the way to the end!
In the early morning of April 5, after four days of forced evacuation at almost any cost and recklessly, the Golden Horn became a huge ghost town, and usually this large area can be hundreds of thousands of people!
At 7 a.m. Istanbul time, a large percentage of people around the world who have the time and time to watch TV go to the news on the hour to see how the Turks are doing.
The poor conditions are to look at a few replay shots that have been played many times, and the conditions are good, such as people who can see the satellite signal TV of several major media groups in the United Kingdom and the United States, and they can also look at the picture given by the live broadcast signal twice.
There are always bold people, such as on the high ground where Andre and others once watched the bustle, more than a dozen cameras were set up to transmit signals from satellites, and the station logos on them came from various media powers.
Tens of thousands of kilometers away in New York, Zhang Nan slept late tonight, and had received a temporary visit from an important staff member sent by the president of Zipper, who was a little anxious.
It was nearly 11 o'clock after talking, and when I finished washing, I felt hungry, so I made some supper, and it was 12 midnight when I was ready to go to bed.
When I returned to my room, I saw Jenny and Nicole watching the midnight news, and the TV camera was looking at the almost vanished Bosphorus II Bridge.
"I haven't slept yet. Zhang Nan said casually.
"I just finished discussing a few things to say at tomorrow morning's meeting. ”
Nicole Dow.
"Yours, on the bed..."
Zhang Nan hadn't finished speaking, only to hear Jenny burst out: "My God!"
At first glance, her right hand pointed forward, and there was a TV!
As soon as I turned around, I saw a huge smoke ball with gray-black and white splashes on the screen of the TV that was basically silent: the shipwreck has exploded!
The three of them stared at it for two seconds, and Zhang Nan seemed to be talking to himself: "What time is it today?"
Nicole understood, but didn't think much of her brain and replied, "It's midnight, 5th... What's wrong?"
Zhang Nan came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, it's Qingming Festival today." ”
