As for the expulsion of the last Greek immigrants from Turkey in early 1963, it was actually not a big deal in the Cold War, because at that time the United States and the Soviet Union had just ended the confrontation in the Cuban Missile Crisis, and there were still quite a lot of problems for the two countries to deal with, and the population of more than 10,000 was not so obvious in dealing with it.

Because the Soviet Union has many strategic goals, and because it needs a period of adjustment just after the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the gains and losses in the Cuban Missile Crisis, there is still a need for discussion at home, so it did not pay attention to Turkey's expulsion of the Greek population this time, but this is an obvious signal for Greece and Cyprus, you must know that this is a very obvious hostile posture, the biggest enemy of Greece and Cyprus is Turkey, and it is impossible to turn a blind eye to this situation.

"Contradictions can be created without contradictions, not to mention that Turkey itself has countless contradictions?" Each country has its own problems, many problems are not unique to the Soviet Union, the difference is that only the United States can use the problems of the Soviet Union to make a fuss in the world, and the Soviet Union can meddle in almost all problems, including the United States, the difference is the difference in national strength, of course, there is also the geographical advantage of the Soviet Union, Turkey and the Soviet Union are neighbors. The only obstacle is the fact that the United States has not yet withdrawn missiles from Turkey.

Unlike history, although the Cuban Missile Crisis in this history made the Soviet Union somewhat regretful, it did not lose ugly, and the Soviet Union received concessions from the United States at Guantanamo, and it did not suffer any loss in terms of face or substance, and it was nothing more than the United States giving full play to its own advantages in public opinion and covering up the United States' own concessions.

"General, summoned by the Presidium of the Central Committee, let you go to the Kremlin!" Not long after, Isemotny entered Serov's office, and as a confidential secretary, she relayed a phone call from the Kremlin.

"Expected!" Serov had long ago reminded the Presidium of the Central Committee of the USSR to pay attention to the problems of Turkey, so it is not surprising that the bigwigs of the Presidium of the Central Committee reacted quickly today.

In the Kremlin, the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union were all present, including Khrushchev, of course, and others including Kozlov, the number two man, Brezhnev, the nominal supreme leader, Mikoyan, and Suslov.

"Yuri, you're the head of intelligence, I'm sure you know why we came to you, long story short, what do you think about Turkey?" As soon as Serov came in, the chairman of the Supreme Soviet, Leonid Brezhnev, asked straight to the point.

"It is impossible for a country not to make mistakes, and it is very normal for strategic miscalculations to occur, and it is inevitable that this will happen to us and the United States, not to mention Turkey, where the populist forces have never been wiped out?" Serov leaked his confidence at this time, "I said, Turkey will leak its own flaws sooner or later, but now the US missiles have not retreated, and Turkey is too early to die......"

Two years ago, Cyprus declared a republic and formed a bicommunal coalition government, but the tensions between the two communes continued unabated. At this time, the Turkish government suddenly announced the expulsion of 18,000 ethnic Greeks living in Istanbul and the confiscation of their property. The news immediately spurred the Greek population in Cyprus, and discontent spread, which felt that they were not only repressed in Turkey, but also in Cyprus and allowed them to occupy important government positions that were disproportionately populated by ethnic Turks. Soon after, the two communities clashed over constitutional issues, and on the secret instructions of Turkish intelligence, Turkish Cypriot parliamentarians vetoed all budget and legislative bills, paralyzing the government. The Greeks were furious, and through the central government, they dismissed all Turkish ministers, and most of the Turkish civil servants were suspended for review. The Turks protested strongly, while the Turkish government claimed that Greece was behind the dispute.

"With regard to the expulsion of the Greeks from Turkey, the first to be stung are the Greeks in Cyprus, let me briefly explain and analyze the possible consequences of this matter! Because the US missiles will be withdrawn in the first half of the year, we will not be able to use this incident for the time being, but this is just the beginning, and we still have a lot of development directions in the future, and this will not be simply over! Serov said clearly, "The most dissatisfied with this matter is Greece, and this is where we can take advantage of it!" ”

"Where does this argument begin?" Kozlov asked Serov with a scrutinizing gaze.

"The Americans have brought Turkey and Greece closer to NATO at the same time, seemingly completely blocking our access to the Mediterranean, but in terms of Turkey-Greece relations, it is not completely without opportunities for penetration, if one Greece is not enough, plus the Kurds, if it is still not enough, and Syria, but there is a premise in this!" After Serov said his vision, he suddenly stopped, "That is, in the next few years, we need a battlefield similar to the Korean War to draw the attention of the Americans, and as long as part of the American forces is pinned, I can start to formulate a plan on how to open the Dardanelles......

"It seems that the chances of success are slim, how sure are you?" Podgorny asked suddenly.

"If you are not sure, the most sure thing is to do nothing, when you don't see anything!" Serov pulled an embarrassed smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "Any plan may succeed and fail, this has to be constantly revised as things develop, before the plan starts, I can't give any guarantee as a security cadre, and the security cadre must focus on safety first......

"Yura, we all know that you are the most sensitive security cadre in our alliance, and since you have discovered this kind of opportunity, let's talk about the idea first, so that I can be more straightforward! If you succeed, what is the end result? Brezhnev clasped his hands together against his chin and asked, "Is it up to the standards of Molotov's New Testament?" ”

Molotov's New Testament refers to the efforts of the Soviet Union in the Near East after the end of World War II, when the Soviet Union sent a note to Turkey unilaterally announcing the abrogation of the Soviet-Turkish Neutrality and Non-Aggression Pact concluded in 25 years. This move caused great consternation on the Turkish Government, and after discussions, it replied to the Soviet Union in April 45 and expressed its willingness to seriously study the signing of a new treaty with the Soviet Union.

However, in June, when summoning the Turkish ambassador to the Soviet Union, Shapar, Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov put forward four conditions for the Soviet side to sign a new treaty: (1) the return of the Kars and Ardahan regions in eastern Turkey to the Soviet Union; (2) to allow the Soviet Union to participate in the supervision of the strait area, in which the Soviet Union had the right to establish a naval base; (3) amending the Montreux Strait Convention; 4. Turkey should adjust its border with Bulgaria.

The above conditions, including the question of the Soviet Union itself being the region of Western Armenia, can be seen as Stalin's attempt to correct the mistakes of Western Armenia during the First World War, but Stalin did not achieve his goal.

As for the demand to regulate the strait and establish a naval base in the strait, Turkey's vital interests were even more violated, and the Turkish government categorically rejected the Soviet demand, after which both sides launched propaganda machines and attacked each other. The Soviet Union directly supported the anti-government activities of ethnic separatists in Turkey, while the traditional Russophobic sentiment on the Turkish side turned into fierce anti-Soviet sentiment, and relations between the two countries deteriorated day by day. The United States and Britain were no longer silent at this critical moment, although both Roosevelt and Churchill had told Stalin during the war that the Soviet Union's demand for access to the Mediterranean was justified. But towards the end of the war, the United States and Britain had decided not to let the Soviet Union get involved in the Mediterranean region out of strategic considerations.

Brezhnev naturally meant to ask Serov whether he was going to take advantage of the contradictions between Greece and Turkey within NATO, and at the same time to fulfill Molotov's vision, and at the same time reach into NATO.

"No, I'm going to demolish the country of Turkey, the Kurds need independence, Greece and Syria can by the way resolve their own leadership disputes, as for the issue of the Dardanelles. I don't know anything Istanbul, the name Constantinople is not suitable for us USSR either, a new name is more suitable for this Eurasian pearl, and that is Soviet Grad! Serov did not hide his opinion at all, and said, "My experience comes from the border war between China and India, and I have collected as much information as possible during my time in India, as a reference document for this war, since China can occupy 200,000 square kilometers of land in about a month, there is no reason why the conditions are much better than the roof of the world in the Armenian direction, the more powerful Soviet Red Army will not be able to do this!" ”

Wow! Khrushchev, Kozlov and some other members of the Presidium of the Central Committee stood up suddenly, looking at Serov with burning eyes, everyone's chests rose and fell, what is Constantinople? It was the most important place in the hearts of the Russians, and religious reasons aside, it was now the source of culture for the Soviets.

What's more, the strategic location of Constantinople is so important, so even Khrushchev, the first secretary of the Soviet Union and chairman of the Council of Ministers, inevitably always subconsciously always subconsciously set his eyes on Constantinople. It took a long time for Khrushchev to say, "What a bold plan, so risky and so exciting!" (To be continued.) )
