Chapter 1310: Into the Black Sea
"Guys, how are you thinking about it?" With a smile on his face, von Papen walked into the basement of the government building.
Here, he saw a pair of eyes, and these eyes flowed with mixed emotions, as if they wanted to tear themselves off.
There is no need to hide it, it is too obvious that it is possible to plan a sniper incident in the Turkish capital, and it is Churchill's people who are killed, so do you need to talk about it? The Germans must have been behind it.
What is even more infuriating is that the Germans must have found Colonel Menzies a long time ago, but they did not kill him immediately, but dragged it on until now, in front of them, the Turkish dignitaries, and shot Colonel Menzies.
This is the absolute meaning of killing chickens to show monkeys, killing people in front of them, so unscrupulous!
However, no one dared to say anything, the Germans were emboldened.
Although von Papen was alone, behind him was the powerful country, and at the beginning, every Roman was able to straighten his backbone in the world, relying on the country behind him.
This is a warning to the Turkish high-ranking officials, telling them that if they dare to defy the will of Berlin, there is only one end!
Although there were enough guards inside the basement, although there were enough guards outside, they did not feel the slightest security.
If Germany is provoked, the kind of bomb that destroyed Petersburg can blow up the whole of Ankara to the ground at any time.
"The elimination of the Soviets by Germany is a great achievement of history, and we in Turkey are in favor of this just war against Germany." Graciorlu said.
In fact, just before von Papen came in, they had not yet reached a concrete opinion, their brains were still in a hollow short-circuit, and now, Graciolu was the first to take a stand.
Actually, this represents his own point of view, but who dares to refute it at this time?
Sara Ruolu, who had the biggest opinion, although he had changed into new pants, still didn't have time to take a shower, there seemed to be a smell on his body, no one wanted to get close to him, and his legs seemed to be shaking again at this time.
"Your Excellency, what is your opinion?" Von Bapen asked.
Inonu muttered twice and said nothing, he looked at the others below him and asked, "Do you have any opinions?" ”
Whoever says yes is a sinner in Turkish history, and no matter what the situation is now, when the time comes, it will definitely be dishonorable if the old accounts are turned up.
So, Inonu looked down first, and no one spoke, that is, it passed collectively? At least he didn't betray the country alone.
"Okay, since everyone has no opinion, then let's sign the agreement, so that we can catch up with the time, if it is too late, I am afraid that there will be irreparable consequences." Von Papen said it vaguely, but everyone else already knew what he meant.
If it were too late, the naval forces of the Germans would have turned the exercises into a real landing operation, occupied Istanbul and took control of the Black Sea straits!
Germany is fully prepared, and at such a time, Turkey will try to use its mantis arm as a car, and can only end up in the same fate as Britain and France.
Turkey has no choice.
When Inonu's hands trembled and he signed the agreement brought by the Germans, the glory of the Turks for thousands of years had been buried by him, and the independence of Turkey, which Kemal had worked so hard to earn, was once again reduced to a vassal of Germany.
They have no choice.
Black Sea straits.
The thick barrels of the Stuttgart were still pointing at both sides, and as the warship moved forward, the muzzles of the guns were moving slowly, always aiming at the shore defense artillery fortifications.
If the Turkish positions on the shore dare to fire first, then the next moment they will definitely turn into ruins.
The narrowest part of the strait, only more than 700 meters, from the shore can clearly see the huge fleet, sharp-eyed people can even see the rifling in the barrel of the opponent's naval guns, 460 mm naval guns, at this time showing a terrible majesty, 70,000 tons of warship, is simply the most terrible sea killer.
In the sky, a large group of more than 50 warplanes flew over the fleet, because the airspace was so small, they would even fly over Istanbul, and the Turkish air defense forces maintained maximum restraint and were careful not to have any conflict with them.
Finally, the telephone rang, and the coastal defense troops received the news from their superiors, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, once the battle began, their lives were left in the last minutes.
It's chilling to think about fighting such a terrible fleet.
Now, it's finally over.
The German fleet, at last, passed through the Black Sea straits and entered the Black Sea.
The Red Sea is red, but the Black Sea is not black.
The name of the Black Sea comes from ancient Greece, when Greece was the center of the world, and the Black Sea is far away from Greece and is called the Dark/Dull Sea. Subsequent nomads also followed the name.
Then the Turkish Empire arose, and in Turkic cultures the north was black, the west white, the south red, and the east blue. Because the Black Sea was located north of what would later be the Ottoman Empire, it was still called the Black Sea. In this way, it has been passed down to the present.
This was the first time that the navy of the Third Reich entered the Black Sea, and before that, the Black Sea was generally considered the backyard of the Soviets.
The German Navy entered the Black Sea, and the news was quickly reported to Moscow.
Now, the fighting on land alone is already exhausting, the situation in Smolensk is getting worse and worse, the Germans seem to be able to rush to Moscow, and in this case, the Black Sea is making waves again.
"The German fleet must not be allowed to enter the Black Sea." The Soviet Marshal Kuznetsov, who was once the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, had a deep understanding of the Black Sea Fleet.
In recent terms, the current Ossad is almost entirely dependent on the Navy to deliver supplies in order to hold out, and at the same time, on the Crimean Peninsula, there is a base for the Black Sea Fleet.
The Black Sea is the inland sea of the Soviets, relying on the superiority of the navy, it can persist in fighting in Ukraine, if the Black Sea is occupied by the Germans, then the German naval artillery can support the battle on land at any time, the Germans set up naval artillery to bombard, not only Osad, I am afraid that even the Sevastopol fortress will have to fall, and the Germans may directly send their troops through the Black Sea.
This situation is too dangerous to happen.
"Can our navy defeat the German fleet?" Stalin asked.
