Chapter 727: Pacifying the Arabs
Even the U.S. Seventh Fleet maintained the highest vigilance against the huge fleet behind it, which was a few days earlier than the U.S. Seventh Fleet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe two fleets are heading south from the East China Sea one after the other, and this situation is very dangerous.
The Soviet Pacific Fleet is the second largest fleet after the Northern Fleet, including cruisers, destroyers, amphibious assault ships, and more than 90 main warships, and a huge fleet of more than 500 ships of various types.
"We have entered the South China Sea region, and there is a US air base in the Philippines to the east, but we also have our anti-ship missile positions in Vietnam to the west, and continuing to sail south is the US air base in Malaysia and our anti-ship missile positions in Indonesia.
Cruisers have always been the core class of ships of the Soviet Navy, with the most complete armament and electronic command telemetry system. Soviet cruisers have always been the most important force for escorting Soviet nuclear submarines, as well as aircraft carriers, when sailing in the open ocean. Moreover, the cruiser was also a representative of the level of scientific and technological development of the Soviet Navy at that time, and almost all the shipboard weapons of the Soviet Navy in almost every era could be found on the naval cruisers of that time.
The first Soviet Kiev-class has just been launched and is being tested at the Baltic Fleet, but subsequent ship construction has been accelerated, and the second Kiev-class will be equipped with the Soviet Pacific Fleet as a flagship. Now the flagship of the Pacific Fleet of the USSR, is a missile cruiser.
"Give me a bite on the Americans, and we must not let the American fleet out of our sight." The commander of the Pacific Fleet, Admiral Sbiledonov, calmly gave the order. The strength of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, compared with the rival Pacific Fleet of the United States, had an absolute superiority in numbers. And with the support of nearby countries, Admiral Sbilidonov felt that the United States would never be able to take advantage of the fighting.
Many ships of the Pacific Fleet are equipped with SS-N-12 missiles, which are the Basalt anti-ship missiles as speculated by NATO, with a range of 550 kilometers, which is the distance between the US Seventh Fleet and the Soviet Pacific Fleet. The anti-ship forces of the Pacific Fleet of the USSR were absolutely sure to sink the opposing side.
In fact, the Soviet Pacific Fleet could find supply locations in all countries along the route, including Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam, Jakarta in Indonesia, Kolkata in India, Basra in Iraq, South Yemen, Egypt, and so on. As long as the Black Sea shipyards were able to continue their work, it would not be very difficult for the USSR, with its current geographical advantage, to suppress a single Seventh Fleet.
"It will take a long time for this mutual containment, Syria and Turkey should stop snorting each other, President Assad is sure that he is also dissatisfied with this kind of fighting, it is also a battle, the southern cluster conquered Constantinople in one day, and the Syrian army is still staring at the Turkish Cointreau, but it is not without gains, right? Those three provinces are real interests. Serov put down the newspaper and said, "Too long has passed, the war should be over." Greece is preparing a general offensive on the island of Cyprus, and I personally believe that the general offensive of Syria against Turkey should begin at the same time. ”
"Tell General Assad that the Soviet Air Force covers a wide area of firepower, but be careful, and it is better not to accidentally injure allies." Serov, who recently defended Greece's expulsion of Turkey and defended Soviet attacks on civilian targets, has seen his popularity in Western newspapers go from minus 10,000 to minus 20,000. It doesn't matter, he himself doesn't care.
Who cares what their enemies think, he doesn't know that the whole of Western Europe is in an economic crisis? Even during the war, Brezhnev and Kosygin received several delegations in Moscow, including Italy, France, and the Federal Republic of Germany, who scolded the Soviet Union for the Soviet Union, but in order to relieve their own economic crisis, they did not care about the lives of the Turks.
The capitalists, of course, hate communism, but they don't hate communist money. The problem now is that the Soviet Union has money, but Western Europe does not, and in order to get rid of the current world economic crisis at an early date, the Western European countries can completely bend and stretch their minds, and first kneel down to the Soviet Union, and then talk about it, so as not to delay the confrontation in the future. Similarly, the current war of the Soviet Union attacking Turkey has not delayed the desire of Europe and the United States to make peace with the Soviet Union.
It is necessary to solve this scourge as soon as possible, and to end the war will also reduce the pressure on the Soviet Union. The General Headquarters of the Soviet Southern Theater in Erwin quickly contacted the Greek Wehrmacht and the Syrian government forces, expressing the Soviet Union's desire to end the war by eliminating the recalcitrant Turkish military forces as soon as possible.
The plan to attack Turkey itself is to move in and out quickly, and once it is protracted, no matter how low the intensity of the war, it will definitely bring casualties, and the Soviet Union took a week to kill the Afghan government army, but the war on the battlefield in Afghanistan has lasted more than ten years. Of course, this is because the Soviet Union only invested 100,000 people, but it is also undeniable that in modern society, the Soviet Red Army cannot play the expansion model of imperial Russia, and the Soviet Union is in a state of anxiety due to the war of law and order.
"Tomorrow is the first week of the attack on Turkey, I don't care what you do, the war should be over. If you have to use the atomic bomb to solve the problem, I will send a report to Moscow right now. Send the Turkish army to hell with an atomic bomb, let's say, what is the plan. How many days can it be completed? Serov snorted angrily, "Similar to the multinational cooperation of this kind of operation, the biggest problem is not ourselves, but you think that Syria can suffer more casualties, so that we can reduce losses, but if the war does not end immediately, I will not lose much from the frontal battlefield, but can be attacked by a small group of militants, have you considered it?" ”
"Knowing the commander, we will deal with the Turks at once!" As Serov said, the Turkish army on the Syrian front has not yet been killed, either the Soviet Union cannot do this, or the general command in Erwin considers the Turkish army on the southern front to be a matter of the Syrian government army.
"As soon as possible, I'm going to Iraq soon!" Naturally, he went to Iraq to find the site of the Armenian massacre, and the Kurdistan region in the broader sense, including parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. Most of them were in Turkey, and the Armenian penal colony at that time was not actually in the territory of present-day Turkey, but was established in Iraq and Syria, and the current governments of Syria and Iraq are the two most pro-Soviet governments in the Arab world, and the Kurds are also a problem for both countries, and both countries have their own careful thoughts in this regard, so they are particularly active in the Soviet Union's investigation of the Armenian massacre, and they wish to find evidence and spray some dirty water on the Kurds.
After all, Turkey is a peaceful religious country, and the Soviet Union's attack on Turkey has aroused criticism in some Arab countries, and his visit to Iraq this time is also to show his attitude and dispel some of the Arabs' hostility towards the Soviet Union.
"Who in the world really wants the Arabs to be united? No, even in the Soviet Union, I honestly say that there are a few people who want Arabia to return to the tolerant and civilized nature of the Arab empire. But I myself know that the original Arabs were not what they are now. And has always given Arab nationalist support. "Serov met with Hussein, the general secretary of the Iraqi Communist Party? Arradi and other members of the Central Committee later said, "The Soviet Union is aware of the current anti-Soviet undercurrent in Iraq, but it is believed that this will not delay the friendship between the Soviet Union and Iraq." ”
"We don't like religion, and the culture of the Arabs is not only religion, is the great Arab empire nothing but religion? I believe that this is not the case, and many critics believe that today's Communist-run Iraq is losing its Arab traditions, and I must say that the change in Iraq at this stage is not Westernization, nor Sovietization, but modernization, which does not belong to any country. ”
"For Arab countries, including Iraq, I must emphasize that this is different. Including Syria, Egypt and Iraq, many Arab countries have Christian life very well, fundamentally this is not a religious issue, the struggle between the Soviet Union and Turkey is a matter for our two countries, and the investigation of the Armenian massacre has nothing to do with the position of Orthodox Christianity and peace religion, I would like to say in conclusion. Serov cleared his throat and said, "I am personally happy to see the Arab countries united, as tolerant, civilized and self-confident as the ancient Arab empires, thank you comrades......"
The next day, Serov's words were published in the Progressive newspaper, the Communist Party of Iraq, and were quickly picked up by the Syrian Arab Social Baath Party newspaper Le Revolacy, as well as in many Arab countries. His rhetoric is almost tantamount to an endorsement of Arab nationalism promoted in Egypt, Syria and Iraq, and South Yemen.
Soon, the five Arab countries of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Libya, and South Yemen gave a positive response to the Soviet Union, saying that this was a dispute between the Soviet Union and Turkey, and that the Arabs should not take a position on this matter, and that the territorial dispute between Turkey and Syria was plundered by Turkey with an imperialist face, and that the Arabs should support Syria without reservation. Syrian President Hafez Assad also said meaningfully: "The recent anti-Soviet rhetoric in the Arab world cannot be ruled out by some hostile forces to sow discord between the Soviet Union and the Arab Union.
