No army can fight hungry, and shouting Allah will not change the fact that they are hungry, unless the Turks, under the guidance of Allah, have evolved to the point where they can drink sea water and eat sand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"If the Greeks had not forgotten what happened a month ago, I believe that there should be no Turks on the island of Cyprus." Serov and Ustinov marched side by side, exchanging views on the Turkish war.

The Turkish military, as the counterbalance of secular power, has been completely defeated since this war. I believe that there is no doubt at all, geographically Turkey has been completely cut off from Europe, but is under siege. This situation is facing the surrounding besiegers, and the already utter despair of Turkey, religious forces may surge.

Ustinov also agreed that if Turkey's secular government was stable, there would be no need for the military to always come out with coups, and that the Turkish army had made indelible contributions and enjoyed high prestige in the struggle to establish a secular republic. According to the Turkish Constitution, the army is a non-partisan force, and military personnel are not allowed to participate in elections, join any political party, and are not allowed to engage in any partisan activity within the army.

It is a pity that now, the prestige of the Turkish army has fallen to the bottom, and it was completely broken by the USSR. Turkey in the future will still take a pro-American attitude against the USSR. After all, apart from the United States, the Soviet Union already has no opponents on the planet, but this time the United States has not made up its mind to fight a war with the Soviet Union on land, and it is certainly false to say that the Turkish government is not disappointed.

"This is the need to geographically isolate the border between Turkey and the USSR with the Kurdish Republic, let them fight." Serov shrugged and said, "According to my plan, we will merge the entire Western Armenia, more than 80,000 square kilometers, while the Kurdish Republic needs an area of 220,000 square kilometers, Syria occupies 20,000 square kilometers, plus the Great Constantinople region on both sides of the strait that we occupy, the future Turkish territory can only be more than half of the current one, according to their numbers, if the Turks can learn from the Indians, they will still be self-sufficient in food." ”

"You're so ruthless, you want to starve the Turks to death." Marshal Ustinov pushed his glasses and said gloomily, "The entire eastern part of Turkey has not been used for land, and it has been directly assigned to the Kurds." ”

"Of course, I'm an old friend of the Kurds, and I'm always there when the Kurds need me." Serov smiled and said noncommittally, the main thing the two discussed was military issues, mainly the comparison of strength between the Warsaw Pact and NATO, NATO members have always been more than the Warsaw Pact, after this war, in fact, the Soviet Union temporarily killed two NATO countries at one time, and now of course the Greek Defense Forces is still unknown. Brezhnev's schemes are also needed.

At least the obvious fact is that if the United States wants to maintain its balance, it will not only not be able to withdraw its troops from Europe, reduce military spending, and wait for a comeback in the eighties, as it has historically done, but also have to invest more. France has always emphasized playing independence, whether it is a pro-socialist alliance or a right-wing alliance, the main consideration is the interests of the French themselves.

Britain's withdrawal from the colonies was relatively complete, except for some important areas, its power has declined to the British Isles, and at this time, it is difficult for Britain to increase military spending in the face of the economic crisis.

Therefore, in Europe, in addition to increasing its own military investment, the United States also needs to make the Federal Republic of Germany, which is least affected by the economic crisis, assume greater responsibility and increase the armament of the German army, which is already considered a very strong force in NATO.

"Is the United States going to put the Germans ahead again? The plan was good. Ustinov snorted.

The Bundeswehr became NATO's main defense force in Central Europe. At that time, the Bundeswehr had 495,000 troops and 170,000 civilian personnel on inactive duty. The Army's three corps consisted of 13 divisions, armed with tanks and armoured personnel carriers. Most of the Air Force's fighter jets became part of NATO's Joint Air Defense Force; The Navy patrols the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.

"The Federal Republic of Germany and Japan, in fact, are colonies of the United States, and they say that our Eastern European policy is more appropriate for themselves. Germany and Japan are incapable of resisting. Serov thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, can the Federal Republic of Germany itself withstand the side effects of the disappearance of 600,000 soldiers?" Probably not. ”

The United States is not the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union may have a momentary brain attack on such an issue as the occupation zone, for example, the United States will definitely not make a mistake in this regard, and the United States has not withdrawn its troops from Germany and Japan after the collapse of the Soviet Union, which shows how difficult it is for the United States to come up with a map of Go.

The West's 74 joint military exercise was an excuse for NATO to expand its armed forces. It is very normal to expand the army to deal with the economic crisis, anyway, there is no country on land that can confront the Soviet Union, and this means of surviving the economic crisis with military spending is destined to be fruitless, and another thing is more difficult than this one.

Historically, by 1974, although Brezhnev had not defeated all his opponents, he had established his absolute authority, and Shelepin, Kosygin, and Podgorny had all become ordinary commissars. And now this process has been delayed a little, so to speak, the USSR is still in the collective leadership, except that the general secretary is the most prominent.

"Comrade Chernenko has no experience as a leading cadre at the local level, and it is not appropriate to be the first secretary of the Sovietgrad City Committee, I think the second secretary of Lithuania, Kharazov, is more suitable." The chairman of the Supreme Soviet, Sherepin, insisted on his opinion, because the candidate for the first secretary of the soon-to-be-formed Soviet Grad again became a matter of fierce confrontation.

"I know Comrade Kharazov, but the Baltic Sea is the richest region of the country, and the Soviet Grad will be in the process of reconstruction for a long time, and the environment of the two is completely different. The eastern Soviet region also had to bear certain military duties, and Comrade Chernenko was more suitable for this. Brezhnev unhurriedly expounded his opinion.

Everyone knows that once the Sovietgrad is founded, it must be a very important city due to its geographical environment and strategic position, and even if these are not important, the name Sovietgrad is destined to be infrequent. It will definitely be on an equal footing with Leningrad and Moscow and become a city with a very high political status. Now that everyone is not ready to let go of the control of the city, Kosygin also proposed that the new first secretary should be an economic expert.

Around the selection of the first secretary of the Sovietgrad, Brezhnev, Kosygin and Sherepin all came up with their own plans. The rest of the people also have their own supporters, and the Sovietgrad is not a trivial problem, opinions are deadlocked, and no one is sure that their candidate will be supported by everyone.

"What do you think of Comrade Fortseva?" Serov said slowly, "Comrade Fortseva is also an old qualification, in the era of First Secretary Khrushchev, he was a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee, served as the Minister of Education, the First Secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee and the Minister of Culture, and served as the leader of different departments, and his ability is completely sufficient. ”

"There is another candidate for Deputy Secretary of the Presidium of Ukraine Shainin, Comrade Shainin also has rich experience, assisting First Secretary of Selest and Chairman of the Council of Ministers Serbitsky, who has made outstanding contributions to the development of Ukraine, and this is also a candidate." Serov said to himself, "As the head of a powerful department, I myself am not suitable to propose personnel in the Sovietgrad, but it seems that there is a deadlock in opinion, and it is okay for us to consider other candidates." ”

The visit to Greece is about to begin, and the troika is still chattering, so it can only be used in the simplest way, with people who have nothing to do with the forces of all sides, such people have no stakes, and everyone can accept them.

The period when Fortseva's political status was highest was when Khrushchev was a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee and concurrently served as the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, almost ten years ago. This woman has long passed her political peak, and now she has little influence, and given her age, she is completely temporary, to be used as a substitute.

Brezhnev, Serepin and Kosygin did not speak, in fact, this is already the first time that the question of the Sovietgrad has been discussed, and everyone does not back down. If you insist on your own opinion, you will not come up with a single resolution.

The impasse was unbearable for everyone, but they all wanted the other side to take a step back, but in fact it didn't.

"Let Comrade Fortseva come over, I want to talk to her." Brezhnev was silent for a long time and said that there was no point in continuing the stalemate, and that electing someone acceptable to everyone would be the best solution.

The next day, news came from the Presidium of the Central Committee that Fortseva had been approved by Brezhnev and officially became the first secretary of the Sovietgrad City Committee, and in the evening Fortseva came to Serov's home.

"Thank you, I didn't expect that a forgotten person like me would have the opportunity to continue to hold an important position." Fortseva's sick face was swept away, and she seemed to be in very good condition.

"You've helped us a lot before, but well, I hope you can quit drinking." As soon as Serov's words came out, his eyelids broke free of his wife's small hand around his waist. (To be continued.) )
