Chapter 702: Invasion of Cyprus

It was his first day back in Moscow, and he quickly took care of the matter and returned home in the car, and compared to what followed, these problems of food, education, and migration can only be described as trivial. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info is a part of national security, but the most important part of national security is still the grand strategy, which requires the use of military forces.

"I'm causing you trouble again, and I still have to rely on you to help me in the end." In the bedroom of the two, Valya, who was not in a strand of body, rested and sat up, her long blonde hair falling down her towering breasts. She was very touched by her husband's strong support for her program as soon as he returned to Moscow.

"You are my wife, who will I help if I don't help you? How can a wife say trouble to her husband? Serov smiled very easily, and poked his finger at the woman's tower, and extinguished the cigarette with his other hand, "Whatever you have to do, as long as I can help you, I will help you." The fact that you have given birth to so many children for me is the greatest reward for me. ”

"My mouth is like honey, I know why you came back, I'm afraid that you will get involved, and the Central Presidium may not agree so easily on the option of starting a war." Valya lightly lifted her lips and hugged the man, "This is not a proxy war, and as a neighboring country, the country has more things to consider. ”

"It's about strategy, the Dardanelles has always been blocked. We can never say that we have completely changed the environment. Okay, don't worry, I'll see you then. "Put the quilt back on for your wife, although the woman's posture is quite eye-catching, but it's not good to look like this all the time, what if it's hard after a while.

Greece is a military junta, and at the moment it is a world economic crisis, and the junta and the word economic crisis are associated. There are already too many precedents in the past, and it is nothing more than launching combat operations to boost national morale, and if you win, it is better to say, if you lose. Greece is not the first and not the last. The later Argentine junta was also picked up by Thatcher.

Because of the fierce confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union in southern Africa some time ago, the air force transport planes continued to fly through the Dardanelles, which made other countries kick and feel uneasy, especially the neighboring Greece and Turkey. The military coup d'état carried out by the Greeks has not happened until now. But with the outcome of the war between Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the withdrawal of the Sudan People's Army (SPA), the tensions in the world have passed.

On the last day in Hanoi, there was a military coup in Cyprus. The Cypriot National Guard, under the command of Greek officers, suddenly shelled the presidential palace, and after President Makarios escorted a group of students visiting the presidential palace to leave, he himself fled by taxi to Paphos, in southern Cyprus, where the British air base was located. He then boarded a British plane to New York to complain to the United Nations about the atrocities of the Greek junta. At the same time, the coup soldiers supported Nikos, who was in favor of the merger of Greece and Cyprus. Sampson was inaugurated as interim president.

He boarded the train to Irkutsk, got off the plane at the Moscow airport for more than two days, spent a day dealing with the chores, and now it is believed that the Turkish military should have drawn up a battle plan and sent it to the Turkish president. No war can be waged by one person, and Stalin also needed to convince the other councillors, let alone the Turks, to take a few days to assess that it was normal to draw up a plan, and to start a war at the first order.

The next day, Serov left the dacha and went to the Rubyanka, took out the battle plan, which had fallen into a layer of dust, blew it, put it in a briefcase, and asked the driver to send him to the Kremlin.

Serov in a blue hat walks very slowly, which is not his usual style, because he does not know how to drive, he walks much faster than the average person, and it is very rare to walk slowly like this.

Returning the salute to the guards, Serov entered the Kremlin, and the clatter of leather shoes under his feet spread far away.

"Yura, I thought you'd be home for some rest." Sherepin is not here, but in the Supreme Soviet, only Brezhnev and Kirylenko are here, but it doesn't matter, it's only a few minutes away.

"I'm here to submit the Sovietgrad plan and await its approval." Serov said slowly, and as he spoke, he put a stack of plans on the table from his briefcase, with an unprecedentedly solemn expression, he had been constantly revising the plan for more than ten years, and today it seemed that it was time to implement it.

The Soviet Grad Plan was a special war plan of the Soviet Union to deal with Turkey, with the aim of dismembering Turkey, opening up the Dardanelles Strait into the Mediterranean, and of course, recovering Constantinople and recovering the holy city that belonged to the hearts of generations of Russians.

The Soviet Union completely suppressed religion, but the influence of Orthodox Christianity on the Russians was huge, and this point could not be solved without proselytizing, and the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire has always been like a thorn in everyone's hearts, but they are reluctant to mention it.

But even so, Serov's words came out and took Brezhnev and Kirilenko by surprise. It is common sense that a battle plan can be drawn up, otherwise what would the Ministry of Defense do in peacetime? However, there are many factors in whether it is implemented or not, and the Soviet Union must not declare war on Turkey, a member of NATO, as soon as its head is hot.

"Comrade Serov, do you know what you're talking about? There is no reason for us to provoke NATO? The secretary of the Central Committee, Kirilenko, directly retorted, "I understand your painstaking efforts, but our struggle with the United States is a long-term struggle, and not through risky military operations, and as the General Political Commissar, you should understand this." ”

Serov tilted his head slightly, his eyes staring directly at this Brezhnev comrade-in-arms, the meaning in his eyes was very complicated, indifferent, disdainful, insipid, or sarcastic. In fact, there are some, anyway, it's disrespectful.

At this time, the red phone on the table rang, this was the general secretary's phone, Brezhnev didn't care about his comrades-in-arms and Serov, he sat down directly and picked up the phone, his face instantly changed color and glanced at Serov, "Turkey attacking Cyprus?" Half an hour ago......"

Compared with Kirilenko's surprise, Serov was still the dead face of the judge, and when Brezhnev put down the phone, Serov silently tapped the plan on the table with his hand, and the meaning was self-evident.

At dawn on 6 August, a large number of Turkish troops suddenly landed 8 kilometres west of the northern Cypriot port city of Kyrenia, a move Turkey claimed was aimed at "protecting" the security of Turkish Cypriots. The Turkish invasion force consisted of the Chakmak Special Attack Brigade, the 6th Amphibious Infantry Regiment, the 50th Infantry Regiment and the 39th Division Tank Battalion, armed with 12 M47 tanks, 20 M113 armoured transport vehicles and 12 105 mm howitzers.

In order to drive away the invading Turkish army, the Cyprus National Guard first sent two companies of the 251st Infantry Battalion and five T-34 tanks from one platoon of the 23rd Tank Battalion to intercept them. The Serbian army initially knocked out two Turkish recoilless gun positions, but the Turkish M113 armored vehicles and infantry worked closely together to destroy two Serbian T-34 tanks, which made the Serbian army's efforts go to waste.

"Convene a meeting of the Central Presidium!" Brezhnev, who picked up the phone again, had regained the appearance of Tarzan collapsing in front of him without changing color, and his voice was rarely not soft, but full of majesty.

The Soviet Grad plan was officially brought to a meeting of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the USSR for discussion. All the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee who attended the meeting were very surprised, and looking at Serov, who had just returned to China, the first deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers Polyansky asked with a heavy heart, "Comrade Serov, this is what you KGB did. ”

"Are we KGB God? Can the anti-Soviet Greek junta coup d'état in Cyprus? Serov tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled indifferently, "In the context of the world economic crisis, what is the most direct means for a country's military junta to consider from the perspective of military personnel in order to maintain legitimacy?" The Greek junta is not the first, nor the last. ”

Serov, with his big blue brimmed hat, spoke coldly, as if evaluating how much feed a pig needs to eat in order to grow meat. It's a strange attitude, like ...... It's as if he'd judged it a long time ago.

"The coup d'état in Cyprus by the Greeks is the reason why I came back from Hanoi in a hurry, and I did not come back to support the women of my family. Now, comrades, let's get down to business. Serov clapped his hands to attract the attention of the others and said to himself, "I have been waiting for this opportunity, and thanks to fate, when I was forty-seven years old, it finally came." ”

"In principle, I support it, this plan is perfect from any angle, comrades, you also know that Yura's construction on the borders everywhere, in any dangerous area on the vast borders of our Motherland, there are enough military supplies to support the war, and this preparation has been prepared for many years." After hearing this, Chairman of the Supreme Soviet Sherepin, first expressed his support.

"But the risks are huge, and now this is a civil war in NATO, and it's not the same if we mix in it." Mazulov, the First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers, thought for a moment and said, "Will this provoke a full-scale war between us and NATO?" ”

"As far as the countries of Western Europe are concerned, can they fight? The economic crisis has been going on, and the communist and socialist parties in various countries seem to have a little higher support ratings. Besides, I don't mean to help the Greek junta, I want to help, I hope to be able to help the allies of the Warsaw Pact. Serov said unhurriedly, "Let's wait and see, but we have to do it ourselves, the army has not fought for more than 20 years, we have to test the combat effectiveness of the army." Once again, I must remind that such an opportunity is only once, and if we do not seize it, the people will not be satisfied. At the end of the day, Serov's tone became extremely solemn.

"What do you mean? The Greek junta is going to fall? Brezhnev said to himself without changing his face, "If Greece, which is in NATO, takes the initiative to ask the Soviet Union for help, this is a very good excuse." (To be continued.) )
