"A junta that shows its courage, but in the end does not dare to interfere in the feud, comrades, what do you think will happen to the Greek junta. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Serov stretched out his hand and said heavily, "As long as the Greek junta finally retreats, he will inevitably fall, in fact, the regime of this model of the junta is like a cube of ice." Usually they can settle all sorts of things, but when they are pressured beyond their ability, they will be smashed like ice cubes. ”

Historically, the Greek military junta was overthrown in an instant after the accident in Cyprus, and Serov knew about it. There are many precedents for this kind of thing, and it will never be extinct in the future, and he is not here to talk about it.

In fact, the atmosphere in the Presidium of the Central Committee at this time was very awkward, and General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev never expressed his position. Although Shelepin expressed his support, he did not yet know what Kosygin meant. None of the troika made a sound, and the others were not in a position to express their opinions.

He could understand this hesitation, the opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and a single Turkey was no longer on the minds of the Soviet Union. What the Soviet Union was afraid of was NATO, a military alliance whose military power was not below the Soviet Union and whose overall potential was still above the Warsaw Pact. Once the Soviet Union had taken over Turkey, maybe nothing would happen, and maybe a world war would break out.

It is very normal for anyone to hesitate in the face of such a decision-making that affects the fate of all mankind. Even if Brezhnev had promised Serov a few years ago, he was hesitant when it came to the end. It was a joke at the time, but now it's a real decision.

"There's still time, we have to think about it, it's not a trivial matter." Brezhnev broke the silence with a cigarette butt in his pocket. In a short period of time, the room was already filled with smoke, which showed that everyone had a strong pressure in their hearts.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, Brezhnev did not know in detail what the other committee members thought about this incident, and he did not like this kind of sudden incident, very much disliked. He prefers to have unanimous support than to use his own contingency thinking to solve problems, and he does not have the ability to do so.

"This kind of opportunity for NATO infighting is not always available, and here I am the youngest. With a certain amount of luck and my own hard work, I was lucky enough to become the youngest member of the Presidium of the Central Committee. Serov slowly stood up and took off the blue brimmed hat on his head, his fingers only on his head and gritted his teeth, "I am forty-seven years old this year, and I can clearly feel that although I am in good health now, I don't know that I will suddenly age one day." When Comrade Kozlov fell ill, he was not very old. ”

This sentence touched others, Serov was using himself as an example, but in fact others felt more empathetic. Brezhnev is almost seventy years old, and Kosygin is seventy this year, and Shelepin, the youngest of the troika, is almost sixty years old, and even Serov, who has always been considered a young man, is almost fifty.

Time is gone, and they are all old. It can be said that even if they enjoy superior medical care, they cannot guarantee their longevity, and they will go to see Marx at any time. For a moment, an irrepressible impulse appeared in Brezhnev's heart that he wanted to express his support for the plan.

He knew what it meant to break through the Dardanelles into the Mediterranean, he knew what it meant to restore Constantinople to the Soviet Union, and he knew what it meant to cut off Eurasia, which would completely reverse the Soviet Union's position without embarrassment, and Eurasia would be divided into two separate parts from the middle.

He doesn't need anyone's persuasion to do this, he understands it. He is a very practical person, and he will definitely not back down because of international condemnation, but he cannot but consider NATO's reaction. "Comrades, give me some time, I'm going to think about it. Rest assured, I will never shirk my responsibility. Brezhnev was silent for a long time, and with unprecedented solemnity, he announced the adjournment of the meeting, and he really had to evaluate it carefully.

Serov opened his mouth and finally said nothing. At the same time as the meeting was convened, the fighting in Cyprus was still continuing, and in the face of the crisis, the Serbian army urgently sent the 316th Infantry Battalion from Morfu to remove the roadblocks set up by the Turks along the way, and joined the remnants of the 286th Battalion before arriving in the city of Kyrenia. For unity of command, the Chief of Staff of the Serbian Army, Konstantin? Povas also arrived in Kyrenia at night, and he quickly commanded three infantry battalions to launch a night attack on the Turkish army, killing the commander of the Turkish 50th Infantry Regiment, but the Turkish air force carried out a brutal bombardment of Kyrenia, which allowed the Turkish beachhead to be secured.

"Uncle, I'm in trouble. I hope you can help me. "As always, come to the house of Marshal Bagla Miyan. After greeting his aunt, when there were only two people, Serov did not hesitate to lower his posture. Asking this old marshal who has taken good care of him since he was a child.

Because it involves war against Turkey, a sovereign country that is also a member of NATO, the meeting was top secret, and the other marshals of the Ministry of Defense did not know about it, except for the Minister of Defense, Marshal Grechko.

"It's war again, Yura, although I am a soldier who has received the rank of marshal, I would rather not have this rank of marshal in my heart, and I don't want the things of the Great Patriotic War to happen again, do you understand?" Marshal Bagramian seems to recall the bitter experience of the difficult years, and he will never forget the heavy losses suffered by the USSR in the Great Patriotic War.

"Uncle, the potential of the Warsaw Pact is inferior to NATO, and I have always made up for our shortcomings. But there is one thing that I cannot change, the GDR is not the Federal Republic of Germany, Romania is not France, Poland is not the British Isles. We had a hard time dealing with the huge disparity in population, and we handed over the textile industry to Egypt and Iraq, and the saved people were put into agricultural production, and even then the agricultural population deficit was still as high as 1.1 million. Even if we do our best and surpass our opponents per capita, the other side can crush us with a demographic advantage, not to mention that it is not easy to surpass itself. Serov sighed and said, "Sooner or later, we will fight ourselves to the death, maybe a little later." ”

"You are a soldier, you should understand the meaning of truncating Eurasia the most, I hope to help me." Serov bowed his head and pleaded, "I'm not a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee, I'm just a drowning man who grabbed a life-saving straw, uncle, I hope you are on my side, please, please......"

Bagramian sat on the sofa for a long time, of course he understood, he was a marshal, how could he not understand the significance of opening the Dardanelles? He was also caught in a great contradiction, and it was not he who faced this entanglement tonight.

"Andrey, you are seventy years old, and at our age, who can guarantee how long you will live? In fact, we should have died a long time ago, and we were buried with the millions of comrades who served in the Red Army, and we are lucky to live to this day, so we can say that we are much luckier than them, right? "Marshal Bagramian dressed very formally, and spoke to the Minister of Defense, Marshal Gretchko, in the tone of a friend.

"Yes, I'm old, and I don't think I'm afraid of anything, Ivan, I know why you're here. It was your little guy who persuaded me that, as a communist, I can tell you unequivocally that I am not afraid. As a Soviet serviceman, I certainly agree. Defense Minister Marshal Grechko said softly, "I didn't sleep last night......

"I don't know how long I can live, you're right, my hesitation doesn't look like my original self." Without waiting for Marshal Bagramian to persuade again, Defense Minister Marshal Grechko was the first to speak, "We, the Soviet soldiers, are as firm as a rock and as unquenchable as a fire. I am seventy years old, I am not afraid of anything, and at the meeting of the Presidium of the Central Committee, I will support the plan to attack Turkey and open up the Dardanelles to the sea. ”

"Thank you, my old friend." Marshal Bagramian was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled and gave his old friend a hug, and the two gray-haired old soldiers hugged each other for a long time, and there was only comrade-like friendship among them.

At the same time, Serov stretched out his hand and shook it with Andropov and Ustinov. "Thank you, our war will completely change the predicament of the Soviet Union, and from then on, no matter how hard the United States tries, it will not be able to confront us on the Eurasian continent." ”

"We know that this is the motivation for us to be in favor." Ustinov and Andropov spoke at the same time.

At the beginning of the second meeting of the Soviet-Grad Plan, which was chaired by Suslov, the Minister of Defense, Marshal Grechko, first stated that he should seize this opportunity to teach Turkey a lesson, then Serov and Ustinov made statements one after another, and the chairman of the Supreme Soviet, Sherepin, summed up.

In the end, Andropov said, "We still have to wait for the opinion of the general secretary, and Brezhnev's opinion is important." In fact, he has also sided with the offensive plan.

"For the Soviet plan ......" Brezhnev's voice hesitated for a long time, and then said, "We vote by show of hands." ”

Serov, Grechko, Ustinov, Andropov, Sherepin, and Shreist raised their hands. Chairman of the Council of Ministers Kosygin, First Deputy Chairman Polyyansky, Mazurov also did not raise their hands. Plus Brezhnev himself, as well as Kirilenko, Shcherbitsky did not agree. After hesitating for a moment, Brezhnev raised his hand and said, "The Sovietgrad plan has passed, but we have to find the most suitable entry point to complete our goal as quickly as possible, and the combat time is within twenty days."
