Chapter 551: S300 Project

The second more

Just as the world's eyes were turning away from Turkey and the Soviet Union, Yanayev, who had a keen sense of politics, had set his sights on Greece. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info He has been following recent political developments in the United States, and after the Turkish crisis, the unwilling Americans have been hoping to make a comeback on this issue.

When Madeleine began her visit to Greece, Yanayef realized that something was wrong. Sure enough, when Greece announced the introduction of eight American Perry-class destroyers in three batches, Yanayev felt that things were far from being as simple as he imagined. According to Defense Minister Comrade Yazov, what is the concept of eight Perry-class destroyers, which is a gold-sucking monster that the Greek Navy may be strained by daily maintenance alone. With eight Perry-class destroyers used as the capital ships of the arms race, Greece will not be so tyrant.

The only thing that Yanayev could think of in the end of these destroyers was to prepare for the unfinished war of 1974.

Since then, the U.S. has increasingly coincided with Yanayev's expectations, and Secretary of State Madeleine's next target is Cyprus, and after the state visit to Cyprus, the whole of Cyprus has not made any moves. Instead, like a well-behaved cat, it was quiet and silent. However, this silent state makes Yanayev feel even more tired, and the entire Moscow top brass is speculating about the conspiracy behind the United States.

After the visit to Cyprus, the US Stanisk aircraft carrier battle group visited the Greek Navy and stayed in the Greek Navy port. By the time the United States took this step, Yanayev had come to his senses.

"It's really beautiful, but I don't know if Maziel can see through the intentions of the Americans." Yanayev stared at the movements of the American aircraft carriers on the map and was amazed.

Because the British base in Dekelia is located on the Green Line of the buffer zone, which is currently under the responsibility of the United Nations Security Force, including the United Nations troops to assist the security and the original base area, the British have a total of about 3,500 troops permanently on the island. Recently, the British military has begun to replenish military bases in Cyprus with new fighter jets, although it claims to be aimed at fighting Libyan government forces, but those things can only deceive ordinary people.

Five fighters were added to the Dekelia military base, and then nearly a battalion of British Army troops were brought in by large transport planes.

It has to be said that if it were not for the problem of the British army, Yanayev would have thought that the United States would have achieved the goal of containing Turkey by putting pressure on the Turkish government through Greece. Most likely, it will be the sale of ships and missiles. But after watching Madeleine's steps, he couldn't laugh at all. The United States is trying to provoke a war in Cyprus by attacking the east and attacking the west.

"For such an outcome, the Soviet side can only express regret. And with strong concern about everything that is going to happen in Turkey. "Although the USSR formed a short-lived alliance with Turkey. But within Moscow, without exception, does not want to see Turkey unlucky, and the Soviet-Turkish friendly policy that Yanayev has insisted on before is also a foreshadowing of Turkey's current situation. Moreover, even if it becomes a short-lived alliance, Turkey will not back down on the issue of the management of the straits, which annoys Yanayev a little.

"I wonder what Maziel's expression is now? Anger at being deceived? Or is it a dark sigh of relief after discovering the cat's greasy? Defense Minister Yazov said with a smile, saying that it was also the first time he had seen Turkey face such an embarrassing scene. Instead of seeking a favorable international political environment after the coup, Maziel suffered a major Waterloo accident. The regime of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is already in turmoil, and the situation in Cyprus as a whole is becoming more and more unpredictable under the influence of the United States, driven by all parties.

"What's next? Let me make a bold guess. Yanayev recounted President Mario's conspiracy, "The Americans painstakingly created that they would make a fuss about the maritime border between Greece and Turkey, but in fact the United States has set its sights on Cyprus, a country that Turkey has always wanted to infiltrate and own." The United States would support Cyprus in starting a civil war, and even the presence of peacekeepers on the island would not stop the Greeks from recovering their homeland. ”

"After that, the Staniske aircraft carrier battle group will escort Cyprus, and as long as there is an American aircraft carrier battle group, who will dare to dictate everything that is happening on the island? No one. And Greece will not let go of such an opportunity, and will definitely vigorously assist Clerides. In this way, there is no need for the existence of the regime in Northern Cyprus, which Turkey has painstakingly created. ”

Yanayev praised, "This is a complete crushing of mismatched strength." Perhaps there have been some dirty back-of-the-scenes deals between Britain and the United States. At that time, the two British air bases in Cyprus will carry out air strikes to aid the northern regime, I think. ”

President Mario has calculated to this extent, what else can Yanayev say. It seems that he is desperate to get Mazyeer out of power. It's just that the persecution is so tight. Isn't Mario worried about sudden events? Turkey's withdrawal from NATO is a big loss.

"Does the USSR need to get in?" Yazov was silent for a moment and asked. According to Yanayev's character of intervening, he would definitely not let go of such a great opportunity, not to mention that Greece is still a pro-Soviet country. Turkey, at all times, is only a short-lived ally of interest.

"Of course I do." Yanayev smiled and replied to him affirmatively, "Didn't we have recently been delayed for a while in negotiations with Greece on the S300 anti-aircraft missile project because of the coup d'Γ©tat in Turkey?" I think it's time to restart negotiations. ”

The S300 anti-aircraft missile negotiation project was initiated by Greek Defense Minister Agis Sokazapolos, and as a country that does not delay arms purchases regardless of whether Greece's economy is good or weak, the Ministry of Defense has been spending a heavy share of the Greek government's total spending.

Previously, Sokazapogros expressed to the Soviet Union a plan to purchase S300 anti-aircraft missiles, which together with the Patriots deployed in Greece itself, would form a Greek air defense system. These missiles will be deployed on the island of Crete and will be the island's secret weapon to counterbalance Turkey.

Moreover, after Greece purchased the S300 anti-aircraft missile, Cyprus also purchased this type of missile from Russia and deployed it on its own soil to deal with the threat from Turkey.

"The entry of the S300 anti-aircraft missile means that it will provoke a dispute between Turkey and Greece over the coastline, not to mention that Turkey will have a headache over the Cyprus issue." Yanayev smiled slightly, since the goal of the United States to strike at Turkey has been achieved, then he can also tear off his friendly face and make a deal with the pro-Russian Greek regime openly.

When the time comes, Greece will deploy S300 anti-aircraft missiles on Crete, which will irritate Turkey's nerves even more. While the Cyprus issue is not yet complete, Turkey is facing a new Aegean Sea dispute. What's more, the Greek government is desperate to kill Turkey's rhythm.

"One more thing, General Secretary Yanayev." Yazov hesitated for a moment and said, "The reason why the S300 missile project negotiated with Greece has been delayed is that Greek Defense Minister Sokazapolos wants to keep the price of missiles as low as possible, so it has led to a deadlock in negotiations." I'm worried about ......"

"Oh? And this thing? Yanayev asked with a frown.

"Yes, yes. So I'm worried that the deployment of S300 missiles may not be able to catch up with this lively feast. Yazov said.

"It's okay, I'll leave this matter to me." Yanayev is not worried about not having a chance to clean up Greece's defense minister, after all, every politician's ass is not very clean. Especially the top of the Greek army.

Yanayev had in his hands much more secrets of Sokazapolos than he knew himself. (To be continued.) )
