Chapter 601: Preparations Before the War

"Mr. Minister of Defense, the General Staff of the Mercenary Corps, after many deductions, has drawn up a joint operational plan, and although the armed forces of Turkey are quite considerable, we are confident enough to win this local war. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"The current situation is very favorable to Greece and Cyprus, the Kurds are carrying out guerrilla warfare in the east and south because they are being oppressed by the Turkish army, and when it comes to the navy and air force, the mercenary regiments have an absolute advantage, and the ground forces have the cooperation of Greece, and I think that against the garrison of more than 30,000 people, it can be done in a month."

"But the current problem is that Greece and Turkey are both NATO members, and we, as an international mercenary organization of the Golden Triangle Federation, strongly intervene in the conflict between the two sides, which will cause dissatisfaction with NATO and be very detrimental to future wars. Khante secretly came to Greece and began to negotiate with the military about the next year's actions.

The last thing mercenaries want to face in the world is the five permanent members, and NATO occupies three, which is a powerful military organization with nuclear deterrence, and one carelessness can bring disastrous consequences.

The United States is the boss of NATO, and its attitude is very important; Britain and the United States have always worn the same pants, and although France has often dragged the United States back, once the US Government becomes tough, it has no choice but to cooperate with NATO's actions.

The mercenaries can ignore Britain and France, but they must not provoke the United States, because there is no capital for confrontation at the moment, and if the US government asks the mercenaries to withdraw from the fighting, things will become very bad.

"Your Excellency, the Greek and Cypriot governments, after many clandestine activities, have secured the support of France and Germany, as well as most NATO members, and you also know that Turkey's relations with European countries are not good."

"The dust of the U.S. election has settled, the new president will take office in a month and a half, and the current U.S. government is busy with the presidential handover, and the current president is only suggesting that the two sides negotiate a settlement of the Cyprus problem, and it is clear that this trouble will be handled by the next administration." This was stated by the Minister of Defense of Greece.

Although the situation in Cyprus is becoming more and more severe, the current US presidential office is unwilling to cause trouble, and it is about to leave the White House, and if it intervenes in the internal contradictions of NATO member states, it is very likely that it will make a mistake.

"If this is the case, the operation must be launched at the end of December, and within half a month the mercenary corps will be on their way to Cyprus to prepare for the battle, preferably in the first month of the new president of the United States." Hunter thought for a moment and said.

"But Your Excellency, after this calculation, we only have two months, and Turkey has more than 30,000 troops in Cyprus, has built a large number of fortifications, and dozens of F-16 fighter jets and hundreds of main battle tanks, and it is not so easy to fight quickly." The Greek Minister of Defense said with a frown.

"Although the Turkish Army has more than 4,000 main battle tanks, in fact, we can find that more than 300 Leopard 1 main battle tanks still have some combat effectiveness, and the remaining more than 2,800 M-48 main battle tanks are old models that the US Army has long since retired, basically belonging to the former Soviet T-54/55 grade."

"The plan of operation has been approved by the instructors, and the Mercenary Corps Army will send a fully manned armored division of the United States into Cyprus to assist in the operation, equipped with more than 300 Abrams main battle tanks with depleted uranium armor, more than 200 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, more than 300 armored transporters, more than 100 anti-tank missile launchers, equipped with more than 70 155mm self-propelled guns, and two Longbow Apache helicopter gunship attack battalions, etc."

"In terms of air force, the Greek Air Force and the Turkish Air Force are on par, and our mercenary corps air force will dispatch five squadrons of F-16 fighters and two squadrons of F-15 fighters this time, and will be equipped with two squadrons of Tu-22M3 strategic bombers, and a strategic transport wing to assist you in transporting troops and weapons and equipment."

"We can't be too irritating to NATO and the United States, after all, Turkey is also a member of NATO, and the strategic significance of the Turkish Strait is important, and no one wants to be benefited by Russia at this time, so the army and air force will fight in the name of the Greek army, and all army equipment and air force equipment are leased by the Greek government to mercenaries, and it doesn't matter what the facts are, what matters is an attitude." Hunter said with a smile.

"Turkey's navy has developed rapidly in recent years, with a number of advanced ships, especially dozens of tank landing ships, which carry a very impressive capacity. Coupled with the proximity to Cyprus, it was possible to transport large numbers of troops and weapons to the front line in a short period of time. ”

"If the Greek Navy intercepts the Turkish fleet, it will definitely enter a full-scale war, which will seriously affect the economic construction and public security of Greece, and this situation is out of our predetermined goals and plans, is there any solution for Your Excellency?" This was stated by the Minister of Defense of Greece.

"There is only one way, and that is to artificially create a conflict or accident and involve the mercenaries in this war, so that the US government will have nothing to say, and this needs to be arranged by agents of the intelligence department."

"We will send three aircraft carrier battle groups to suppress the Turkish Navy, one in the port of Piraeus to intercept the route west of the Turkish Strait, one in the Black Sea region to carry out large-scale exercises to intercept the route east of the Turkish Strait, and the third is stationed in Larnaca, Cyprus, using carrier-based aircraft and two battleships to carry out close support, and missile cruisers, missile destroyers, including nuclear submarines, will launch cruise missiles to help the government army fight."

"In addition to bearing the full cost and daily consumption of the mercenaries, the Greek government will also provide the ports of Piraeus and Larnaca as permanent bases for the mercenary navy, and in order to ensure the interests of the Turkish Straits, the ports of Alexandroupolis and Orestia will also be used permanently as strategic bases, especially Orestias, where the mercenaries will build air bases and army bases, and the core is a tank base." Hunter put conditions attached.

Aurestias, the northernmost and northernmost city in Greece, was a must-have for mercenaries, setting up a military base here to spy on Bulgaria in the north and intimidate Turkey by force.

The Turkish Straits control the connection between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea have always been a battleground for war, and if Turkey dares to take advantage of this advantage, the mercenaries will have to dispatch a huge tank cluster in the mode of steel torrent, and thousands of main battle tanks can threaten Istanbul and control the Turkish Straits in a short time. The port of Alexandroupolis is a loading and unloading port for tank base materials, after all, the financial resources spent on air transportation are too large, and it must be carefully calculated.
