The Muscovite regime, which has inherited the orthodoxy of Holy Rome, has always wanted to take the leap in the Mediterranean, showing the great construction of the Black Sea Fleet in recent years, especially after the completion of the co-trusteeship program for the Turkish Straits of Turkey. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe Black Sea Fleet is no longer content to stay in this part of the sea. They wanted to be able to go out and become a real Red Navy in the Mediterranean.

The Syrian port of Tartus is intensively excavating in order to deepen the port. Moscow has reached an agreement with Damascus to convert the Tartus technical support point into a full-fledged base for the Russian Black Sea Fleet. In this way, Russia has a Mediterranean detachment in the Mediterranean that can be given to the long-term presence in the Mediterranean.

A powerful Black Sea Fleet will be the most powerful guarantee for the Mediterranean detachment. According to the special geographical environment of the Black Sea, the Black Sea is not suitable for the activities of a large aircraft carrier fleet, but it is indeed suitable for the activities of attacking submarines such as the Kilo class.

A red ghost that wanders beneath the abyss of the Black Sea.

It's chilling.

Soviet oil and gas entering Europe also passed through the region, and it was natural that a powerful Black Sea Fleet would be able to defend Russia's economic interests in the Black Sea. NATO's eastward expansion in recent years has further squeezed Russia's strategic living space, forcing Yanayev to pursue the development of the Black Sea more actively.

Now the time has come to flex its muscles to the Union for the Mediterranean, and a powerful fleet will pass through the Turkish Straits to complete the feat of cruising in the Mediterranean.

Also cooperating with Moscow's actions is the American aircraft carrier Nimitz-class.

Of course, there are also those who oppose Yanayev's plan, such as Defense Minister Yazov, who thinks that it is unwise to make such a dangerous demonstration when an agreement has just been reached.

"The Soviet Union and the United States have managed to get tickets to Club Med, and I am afraid that it will backfire if they force a show of force because of their opposition. After all, the Arab world saw the United States as a beast, and now most Middle Eastern countries have begun to resist the Soviet Union because of Soviet policy. ”

Thinking from the point of view of strategic balance, there is some truth in Yazov's words. But the Soviet Union, which was in dire need of expanding its influence in the Mediterranean, needed a final word. Battleship cruises are often the most intuitive and effective, but also the most risky. If it is not handled well, it will bring about a diplomatic crisis for the surrounding countries.

"The United States has already sent Nimitz-class, does Comrade Yazov think that our capabilities are comparable to the Americans?"

"Deterrence is only an auxiliary measure, and the Soviet Union has also invested a lot of money in the Mediterranean project, and our aim is not only to further open up the Mediterranean as a strategic location, but also to exert influence on North African countries."

Yanayev half-squinted, looking at the shining red star in the Kremlin.

He represents the will of his fathers, stepping out of this cold wasteland and looking out into the wider land.

"If the plan for the Union of the Mediterranean had not been achieved, the USSR would not have lost anything. But once this plan is put into practice, we must consider the importance of joining the program. This is also a gamble, Comrade Yazov. ”

"If Turkey were ours, the Soviet Union would not have had to go to great lengths to make some show of force. We can and even directly build a Mediterranean fleet. ”

The lack of a few good ports of access to the sea is Yanayev's biggest headache, the creation of a Black Sea detachment in Syria is nothing more than a stopgap measure, and the fact that the USSR does not have a port of its own outside the Turkish Straits is the most fatal thing.

"I hope that this cruise in the Mediterranean will find an ideal and loyal ally for the Soviet Union.

By the time the U.S. aircraft carrier fleet passed through the Strait of Gibraltar, the Black Sea Fleet was already ready to go.

The Dzerzhinsky Kirov-class cruiser, the Komsomol Glorious-class cruiser, plus an improved version of the Golden Eagle large anti-submarine ship form a large lineup. Draw the attention of the countries surrounding the Black Sea.

Just after the departure of the Black Sea Fleet from the Sevasbotor base, Yanayev received an urgent call from the leaders of various countries to Moscow in a short time.

Even Konstantinescu, frustrated by domestic rebel groups, called Moscow to find out what was going on with the Black Sea Fleet's actions.

"Romania wants to be able to resolve any conflict on the Black Sea issue at the negotiating table, and we don't want some, well...... Something you don't want to see. ”

Despite the very subtle words, Yanayev heard them.

"Maintaining peace and stability in the Black Sea is what we should do, and the cruiser fleet is not directed against any country around the Black Sea, I can assure you."

The second half of the sentence that was not said was, even if the fleets of the entire Black Sea countries united to call the Black Sea Fleet, what was the probability that you would be able to win?

The Black Sea Fleet is not intended for the Black Sea, their targets are the Mediterranean, and even the wider Atlantic. Hegemony on the Black Sea was nothing more than the dream of a second- or third-rate state, and Yanayev's goal was to create a revolutionary alliance across the continent, a red Soviet that would make the bourgeoisie tremble.

When the glory of red descends on the world, all enemies will tremble at it.

And the Bulgarian president even stressed the need for stability in the Black Sea directly in front of Yanayev. And to ask sideways that Bulgaria has not offended Moscow recently, right?

After receiving a negative reply from Yanayev, he hung up the phone.

As long as it has nothing to do with him, no one wants to provoke this huge monster.

All of a sudden, the entire Black Sea was full of rumors, and the grass and trees were full of soldiers. Every move of the Black Sea Fleet tugs at the hearts of everyone.

It was only when the cruiser fleet approached the Turkish Straits that Turkish President Césaire reacted. He urgently called Moscow and angrily asked what the other party was trying to do.

Is it for the sake of a Mediterranean alliance to provoke a Russian-Turkish war again?

Even in 1991, Turkey did not dare to provoke the USSR.

The Red Navy, which had regained a certain strength, did not dare to make a mistake.

Yanayev directly asked the other party, "What about the routine cruise of the Black Sea Fleet?" Does the Soviet side need to report separately to Turkey? ”

He asked unceremoniously, "We have already informed you that there will be warships passing through the Istanbul Strait, and we have also received the consent of the Turkish Navy, so why do we need to report to Ankara separately?" ”

"But you didn't tell us that it was a fleet of heavy cruisers that passed through Turkey," said Césaire, "...... (to be continued. )
