Chapter 704: Shock the enemy
"According to the plan, the North Caucasus Military District, the Transcaucasian Military District, the Osard Military District, and the cluster already stationed in Romania will be mobilized, and the subordinate troops will be about 450,000. The www.biquge.info attacked from both east and west, with the main objective of capturing the Constantinople area and the secondary objectives of the others. Marshal Grechko recounted simply.
The Ozard Military District has two army groups, twelve tank divisions and motorized rifle divisions, the two armies are the 14th Red Banner Budapest Army and the 32nd Red Banner Army, subordinate to the 55th Red Banner Budapest Artillery Division - the 98th Airborne Division of the Guards Red Banner Svili River - the 92nd Guards Red Banner Krivoy Rog Motorized Infantry Training Division - the 234th Logistics Guard Division - the 259th Reserve Motorized Infantry Division - the 273rd Reserve Motorized Infantry Division. - 126th Division of the Red Banner Gorlovka Motorized Rifle - 157th Division of the Motorized Rifle of the Neman River - 28th Division of the Guards Red Banner Kharkov Motorized Rifle - 59th Division of the Guards Red Banner Kramatorsk Motorized Rifle - 86th Division of the Guards Red Banner Nikolaev Motorized Rifle - 180th Division of the Red Banner Kiev Motorized Infantry.
The North Caucasus Military District has only five tank divisions and motorized rifle divisions because it has been disarmed, while the Transcaucasian Military District has not been affected because it is on the border, with fourteen tank divisions and motorized rifle divisions under it, and a total of thirty-one divisions can be used in the three military districts participating in the war, plus the Soviet Union cluster in Romania on the western side, this is the military force prepared for Turkey. These units had 7,500 tanks, including Soviet main battle tanks such as the T72, T54 and T64.
In terms of the number of armor, these tanks are already almost three times the armored strength of the Turkish Army. As for the Soviet Air Force, naval infantry and the Black Sea Fleet, they were not yet included. As long as the Soviet Union had already begun to fight, it was absolutely possible to achieve its goal in twenty days, and the Soviet Union did not want to destroy Turkey.
"With regard to internal responses, we have the Kurdish Communist Party, which has an armed force of almost 10,000 men, and most importantly, the Kurds in the entire Kurdistan region will not become an obstacle on the Eastern Front, and they are fervently looking forward to the liberation of them by the Soviet Union." Andropov touched on another issue, which was the support that the Soviet Union could gain in Turkey.
Serov excused, "Actually, there is another help, that is, the head of the Kurdish autonomous armed forces in northern Iraq, General Mustafa, who has an armed force of 30,000 men, I believe that when he sees the hope of Kurdish independence, he will definitely do it desperately, and in the south of Turkey, it is Syria." The two countries have a territorial dispute, and if Turkey is attacked, Assad will definitely want to regain the lost territory, and for Syria, that area is not small. ”
Hatay province, with an area of more than 5,000 square kilometers, belonged to Syria 40 years ago, and Syria was a French colony at that time. In order to win over Turkey against Germany, France manipulated the establishment of the Republic of Hatay, and in the following year's referendum, Hatay was annexed to Turkey. To date, Syria has not relinquished its territorial claims. That's how the Alawites in Turkey came about.
"It looks like the outlook is pretty good." Hearing the analysis of several people, Brezhnev was relieved. He agreed because several powerful people supported him, and in terms of personality, Brezhnev was willing to listen to the opinions of others before making decisions.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei? Gromyko, of course, was aware of the decision of the Presidium of the Central Committee at this time, but in order to disguise the real intentions of the Soviet Union, he only called on Turkey and Greece to solve the problem within the framework of the United Nations, hoping that the two countries could start diplomatic negotiations so that the war would stop and return to peace.
Andre? Gromyko is tantamount to making a statement for the Soviet Union, and his statement also let go of the world's hanging hearts, especially the United States, this rare NATO civil war, the United States is very afraid that the Soviet Union will use this opportunity to make a fuss, the calm of the Soviet Union makes the Americans breathe a sigh of relief, if the Soviet Union is involved, the United States is very entangled in the face of the civil war between the two NATO member states.
At this time, the Turkish people took to the streets of various cities, chanting slogans in support of the government's decisive decision, especially the news of the Turkish army's step-by-step victory, which fascinated them. The glory of the Ottomans has been lost for far too long, from a great Ottoman Empire that made the whole of Europe tremble, to the sick man of West Asia who has been deceived since it came in. The historical complexes of the Turks have always been very serious, they have fallen worse than any other country, and Turkey has lost 90 percent of its heyday territory.
If the Ottoman Empire had still existed, the vast majority of the world's oil-producing areas today would be within Turkish territory, so you can imagine how glorious it would be to be a Turk. It is precisely because of the repeated failures in modern times that the Turks are very supportive of the decisive intervention of this government, and some young people even chant Allah the Greatest.
In Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Bursa, Adana and other major Turkish cities, such demonstrations of support for the government continued, and some of these fanatical crowds remained calm. A man in his forties in a suit did not go in, but returned home as usual, and his wife kindly helped the man take off his coat.
It can be seen that this very Westernized Turkish woman is also a beauty, Turkey is a country rich in beautiful women, and their appearance retains the essence of European and Asian races. The woman's figure is bumpy and her charming smile will make you revel in it and make your heart beat faster. , giving people the impression of being modest, reserved, generous, and arrogant.
The man's wife undoubtedly possessed these characteristics, and to the man's satisfaction, the Turkish woman was loyal, which also had something to do with the peace religion, although some traditions remained in place despite the strong religious conversion after the Kemor reforms. Once a woman gets married, she doesn't have to worry about when she will be green.
"Okay, I'll rest first, I'm going to read the newspaper for a while." The man smiled softly and walked to his little study while sipping coffee, a habit he had maintained for many years.
Skillfully turned on the radio, adjusted the frequency, a familiar voice appeared, and the man listened to the radio while listening to coffee, "Here is the Unity and Progress Radio, the great achievements of the Soviet people in construction......"
"The Black Sea is calm and a very touristy place, and people bask in the sun on the beach on Sundays......" The man's coffee spoon suddenly fell to the ground, and his face disappeared. He understood that the voice inside was a code word, and the country had really implemented the plan and was ready to make a move on Turkey.
After a long time, the man came to his senses, was silent for a long time, and whispered, "Walk with justice, sniff out and eradicate traitors." ”
"Order all the agents lurking in Turkey, confirm the black boxes everywhere, and prepare to sow chaos before the arrival of the great army. By the way, there is no movement in Greece yet? "Serov in the Lubyanka is stepping up to start the final preparations.
He was not worried about the logistics of the Caucasus, the military supplies piled up there were enough for the army to last half a year, and his preparations for more than ten years were not in vain. Of course, although it has not been a few days of fighting, the Turkish Air Force has already created an unprecedented brilliant record in this war. The Turkish Air Force's reconnaissance planes spotted a Greek destroyer fleet off the coast of Cyprus, consisting of several large destroyers, and the Turkish Air Force immediately sent fighter jets with bombs to attack the Greek fleet. After fierce naval and air battles, the destroyers "Kokadepei" were first sunk, and then the destroyers "Aidadpei" and "Marshal Fivtsyakmak" were severely damaged, resulting in the deaths of a total of 230 naval officers.
The Turkish Navy, which covered the landing of the army, first sent a congratulatory message, congratulating the Turkish Air Force on its victory and saying that the sunken warships belonged to the same country as your planes.
"Let's see if we can bring Greece in, let the disinformation department speed up its actions, incite populism to remove the junta from power, and all the disinformation will poke at the softest place in the hearts of Greeks." Serov indifferently ordered that NATO had 200,000 Greek Defense Forces, organized into 12 divisions, in the Balkan direction in southern Europe, and 380,000 Turkish troops, organized into 22 divisions.
If, according to the most optimistic considerations, Greece and Syria together have more power on paper than Turkey, and in the best case scenario, the Soviet Union does not need to do anything at all, as long as the Soviet Union finds the right time to pick peaches.
But after all, Turkey belongs to the country of the ancestors, even if the strength is slightly greater than Turkey, the Turks naturally have a certain psychological advantage in their hearts, and Serov is really afraid that Greece and Syria will not be able to defeat Turkey.
On the Damascus side, Hafez Assad has been tempted by the Soviet Union, because there is a territorial dispute with Turkey, and he is very supportive of the idea of the Soviet Union fishing in troubled waters in this NATO civil war, and even said that as long as the Greek Defense Forces take action, the Syrian army will inevitably cooperate and attack Turkey.
At this time, in the face of interests, Assad decisively forgot that Turkey is also a peaceful country. What brothers, it's all bullshit, when did the Arabs and the Turks become brothers.
In Athens, the capital of Greece, the people angrily protested that the junta did not dare to counterattack Turkey, and the people demanded that the junta step down. ”
"Comrade Serov, are you going to fight a nuclear war?" Kirilenko, secretary of the Central Committee, said with a look that I don't want to talk to you.
"At least these tactical nuclear weapons should accompany the army, and the best and worst prepared are always wrong." Serov said unmoved, "This will give our enemies a deterrent." "Whether the enemy is deterred or not Kirilenko does not know, he has now been intimidated. (To be continued.) )
