Chapter 718: I'm going to pick peaches
Greece wants the lives of the Turks for more than a day or two, Russia and Turkey are feuds, Greece and Turkey are also feuds, if a country can send Turkey to hell with Greece, Greece can do anything. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info According to the more clear words, Greece, even if the whole country eats grass, will not give up revenge on the Turks.
The defeat of Greece in the Greco-Turkish War more than 50 years ago does not mean that Greece will also lose now, and the Greeks suddenly found that they could enjoy the glory of the victors with the Soviets. With the Soviets, this war is definitely won.
The Greek Defense Forces have always relied on the support of foreigners to take advantage of the Turks, as long as there is no support from both sides, Greece must be the loser, the most typical is the first Greco-Turkish war, because it was a simple contest between the two countries, the Greek side was defeated. After the end of World War I, the Greek army invaded Anatolia and was defeated by Kemal's Nationalist army. It can be said that Greece has never won.
In the ongoing war in Cyprus, the Greek military junta behaved poorly and misresponded, leading to a strategic failure. Cyprus was eventually split in two, and this is because the United States turned a deaf ear to Greece's pleas for help because Turkey was more capable of resisting the Soviet Union, and now that the Soviet Union is pressing Turkey to the ground and beating it, what reason does Greece have to stand idly by?
Anyway, the war between the two countries was already earlier than the Soviet Union, so what's the problem with continuing the war? At the tactical level, the small number of Greek troops and Cypriot troops stationed in Cyprus fought more with less, and once made the landing Turkish army very embarrassed, and finally overwhelmed the opponent with the tactics of crowds. From this point of view alone, the tactical literacy of the Greek Army should not be underestimated. The gap between Greece and Turkey is exactly one-fifth that of Greece and the other country. It is impossible for Greece to drown its opponent with tens of thousands of tanks like the Soviet Union, but if it cooperates with the Soviet Union, all disadvantages will not exist.
Constantine? President Karamanlis's public announcement immediately threw the Greek people into cheers, but then they heard an explosive news, "We must drive all the Turks out of Cyprus this time, Greece will win, we are not fighting alone, the most powerful country in the world, the Soviet Union, stands with us, just fourteen hours ago, the Soviet army has attacked Turkey, at this time more than a dozen major cities in Turkey have fallen, Constantinople has been surrounded." Together with the great Soviets, we will meet this great victory. ”
As soon as this statement came out, all the Greeks were taken aback, but they were immediately replaced by ecstasy, Greece itself is an Orthodox country, the only one in NATO, and all other influential Orthodox countries are in the Warsaw Pact. On the one hand, Greece confronted the Soviet Union in order to fulfill its obligations to NATO, and on the other hand, Greece maintained a certain degree of friendly relations with the Soviet Union because of the Turkish threat.
Especially after the overthrow of the junta, Greece was invaded by Turkey because of Cyprus, and the suppressed pro-Soviet rhetoric instantly soared, and the Americans could not help Greece deal with Turkey, but the Soviet Union could, not to mention that the Soviet Union had already begun to attack.
From the beginning of the Soviet Union's surprise attack to the present, it has not been a day, and although the Soviet Union's all-out offensive on the eastern and western fronts has been discovered by NATO, NATO countries are in intense negotiations, and they must first unify their own opinions and face the Soviet Union together. Therefore, the news of the outbreak of the war only fell into the government level of NATO countries, and the people did not know that the war was so close to them.
Although Greece, as a NATO country, has withdrawn from the joint combat system, it is still a member of NATO after all. When President Karamanlis announced that Greece would enter the war and attack Turkey, it immediately caused an uproar around the world. This influence was on two fronts, on the one hand, as a NATO country cooperating with the Soviet Union in declaring war on Turkey, which caused a fierce debate within NATO. Another convenience was that the news of the Soviet attack, which was still blocked in the government, was suddenly known to the whole world.
The Soviet Union actually sent 500,000 troops to attack Turkey? This explosive news instantly spread throughout the world, no less than the Cuban Missile Crisis at the beginning. The spread of the news put the United States and NATO under tremendous pressure, and some newspapers, which have always taken a hard line, questioned the ability of the US government and NATO to turn a blind eye to the Soviet invasion.
"The Soviet Union used a large electronic jammer, and we didn't know anything about it for the first eight hours, and then we detected the situation through military satellites, and we have ordered the Soviet troops to withdraw from Turkey in strong terms, and NATO is meeting to discuss how to fight back, great American people, because things are very sudden, from the beginning of the war to the present is only a dozen hours, please give us some time to deal with it." Defense Minister Schlegesing had to come forward to be questioned by major media outlets.
As defense minister, Schlegesin also expressed his tough opinion after being questioned, and it is the duty of the United States not to sit idly by and watch the Turks of NATO member countries be attacked.
"Mr. Schlegsing, I have no doubt about the government's toughness, which was demonstrated by the Korean War and the Vietnam War, but I would like to ask how we deal with the affairs of Greece, where one NATO country and the boss of the Warsaw Pact attack another NATO country at the same time, why, if the Cyprus war a month ago, we were able to adjust, would not have allowed us to find an opportunity to attack at all." A reporter stood up and asked.
"Now is not the time to hold accountable, for the issue between Greece and Turkey, it's very complicated, and the question we are facing now is that the Soviet Union invaded Turkey, not Turkey invaded Cyprus. The Cyprus problem was an internal problem for NATO, and the USSR was an external one. "There is no point in talking about the war between Turkey and Greece, the problem now is that the Soviet Union is attacking Turkey." ”
The meaning is very clear, Turkey's invasion of Cyprus is only a small problem, and Greece's dissatisfaction will not make the United States lose a hair, but the Soviet Union will not attack Turkey, and once the Soviet Union kills Turkey, the United States will be in a very embarrassing situation.
"What a reasonable hegemonic argument, simply put, it doesn't matter if the Greeks die, but it doesn't matter if the Turks die, because the murderers are different, the Turks who killed the Greeks are not a threat, and the Soviets who killed the Turks are the enemies of mankind." Serov smiled, he was accompanied by a group of experts from the Seventh Directorate, even in a small town where birds don't, and he knew the news from all over the world.
Under normal circumstances, Greece and the USSR fought together, which should have made NATO quarrel for several hours, and Greece did not withdraw from NATO, of course, not necessarily in the future, Konstantin? Karamanlis merged Cyprus with the help of the Soviet Union, is the power of the Soviet Union so easy to borrow, and finally Greece succeeded in merging Cyprus, which will also cause doubts within NATO.
In fact, Greece has already begun to break away from NATO, and even if the United States and the Soviet Union try to woo Greece at the same time, it will be easier for the Soviet Union to exert itself with the same force, but the Greek government itself has not yet understood this.
"General Serov, General Mustafa, who has just received the news from inside Iraq, led 20,000 Kurdish forces to attack cities in southeastern Turkey, and five minutes ago landed at the airport that had just been repaired in a helicopter gunship with Kurdish Communist Party General Secretary Ocalan." At this moment, a guard walked in in and reported.
"Let Comrade Ocalan in." It didn't take long for Serov to meet the general secretary of the Kurdish Communist Party supported by Andropov, but he didn't expect that in the end it was this person who led the Kurds, was it a coincidence or fate? However, there is one point, history did not begin to concentrate on dealing with Turkey until the time of Andropov, and Andropov died relatively early. Even with the failure of the Kurdish independence, the Kurdistan Workers' Party was attacked by Turkey.
After thinking about it, Serov had to admit that Gotu was really not ordinary, and he actually killed more than a dozen socialist countries, hundreds of socialist parties and the same armed forces, and the global layout that the Soviet Union had worked hard to build for decades had buried him all in just a few years.
"Comrade Öcalan, the Soviet Union is happy to see the Kurds independent, and Turkey, a capitalist country, is completely unfit to become a multi-ethnic state, which brings only oppression to other peoples. This is completely different in a completely egalitarian socialist country! Out of professional habits, he naturally hacked capitalism. But that's not the point, the point is that the Soviet Union wants to prop up a Communist Party as a Kurdish ruling party more than a warlord like Mustafa.
In terms of the current armed forces, Ocalan has less than 10,000 people, while Mustafa has more than 30,000 armed forces, but there is one point that Ocalan has an absolute advantage, he is a Kurdish in Turkey, and Mustafa is a Kurdish in Iraq, although he is the same Kurd, but it is also different, after independence, the Kurds in Turkey will occupy an overwhelming numerical advantage, after all, more than 60% of the Kurdistan area is in Turkey.
"We support the Kurdish Communist Party, and the newborn Kurds will be our friends." Serov said unabashedly.
"Only socialism is the most suitable way of life for the Kurds." Ocalan comprehended.
"The great Soviet Union will meet the great victory together with the great Kurds." The hands of the two people were tightly clasped together, Serov's time was tight, a transport plane was already waiting outside, and he was now going to Bulgaria, naturally to pick peaches and witness the return of Constantinople.
