Chapter 634: Supporting Turkey
In this exercise, it is necessary to demonstrate the powerful projection capability of the Soviet Union! When needed, the USSR could quickly gather troops!
The exercise, a drill full of gunpowder, was officially staged. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The 149th Division, as the first batch of modernized mountain divisions refitted, quickly arrived at the designated area, and at the same time, with the cooperation of the armed helicopters of the division, began to advance towards the predetermined "theater of operations"!
Within five hours, the 149 Mountain Division had already moved from the station to the area of the scheduled exercises! This is a big step forward in the projection of Soviet forces!
At the same time, the fighters of the Air Force also began to change their defense areas, transferring from the Turkestan Military District to the Tabriz Air Base.
As now, a MiG-29 flying regiment of the Air Force, as well as a Su-24 fighter-bombing regiment, transferred to northwestern Iran and began their new journey.
In an instant, the eyes of the whole world were focused on this, what is the huge polar bear going to do? Is it really that a world war is about to break out?
"We must not compromise, this is our only chance!" In the United States, at the White House, the atmosphere at the Oval Conference Table was very oppressive.
The Soviets, pressing step by step, have already made the United States feel suppressed to the bottom line! Although the United States is at a disadvantage in the current Cold War, this does not mean that the United States has completely lost its ability to confront! The United States is still the country with the most abundant capital and the greatest war potential in the Western world!
The loss of the Far East has deprived the United States of an important helper, and if it loses the Middle East, the United States will also lose its precious energy land!
"Yes, we can't compromise, now, our country's economy has become more difficult because of the energy problem, all kinds of reform measures we want to implement, all kinds of means to revitalize the economy, because of the increase in energy costs, have lost their vitality, many of our domestic companies that rely on oil, are now on the verge of bankruptcy."
The high-level think-tanks of the United States now know that the United States has reached the most dangerous juncture, and the United States cannot afford to lose the Far East, and this price is too great for the United States to bear! Now, the US economy has already suffered a serious blow! The cold winter of the economy is coming, and the economic crisis will break out at any time!
When Reagan campaigned, all kinds of benefits and measures promised were now completely hit in the face of energy, although the United States is actively looking for energy alternatives, but the arrival of the era of high oil prices is already an indisputable fact!
If the United States wants to resolve the current decline, there is only one way, to win the current war in Iraq, completely overthrow the Iraqi regime, and restore the rule of Kuwait! As long as these two countries are resolved, the Saudi issue will also be resolved, and the United States will once again maintain order in the Middle East.
And to fight Iraq, then Turkey must maintain stability! Again, the Soviets saw this, so the Soviets will conduct military exercises in northwestern Iran, on the border with Turkey, which is a deterrent to Chiguoguo!
Will the Soviets turn this exercise into World War III? This is a question before everyone.
"For the Soviet Union, their domestic economy is also at a critical stage of reform, and they should not start a large-scale war, let alone a third world war." CIA Director William said: "This is a conclusion that we have come up with after comprehensive research, after all, if the Soviets really had the determination to start a world war, they would not have been confined to the whole course of the war and only acted behind the scenes, instead of directly confronting us." ”
The Soviets look aggressive, but in fact, the Soviets did not have the courage to directly start a world war, otherwise, after their own war, why did the Soviets not directly participate in the war, but encouraged the Iranian Air Force to help Iraq fight? And it was not until the Iraqi army took Riyadh and the American army retreated to Mecca that the Soviet army suddenly occupied the oil fields in eastern Saudi Arabia?
All this shows that the Soviets are also trying to avoid direct conflict with the American army! Therefore, the Iraq war that the United States is now waging will not directly face the Soviet army! At the same time, the fact that the Soviets are now conducting military exercises in northwestern Iran is also only a deterrent and a temptation! The Soviets tried in vain to make it impossible for the United States to continue the war in Iraq by threatening Turkey! When the Soviets blew up the Eurasian bridge, they thought that the United States was going to give up the Iraq war, but unfortunately, the United States still insisted! And now, the USSR wanted to continue to threaten Turkey, and the United States absolutely could not compromise!
"Yes, we can't compromise, Turkey needs our support! Tell Turkey that we, the United States, will support Turkey in all directions, and if Turkey is attacked, it will be a declaration of war on the whole of NATO! "We can hand over a batch of F-16 fighters to Turkey, and at the same time, we can agree to Turkey's request to build an F-16 production line in their country," Reagan said. Turkey can have the most powerful F-16 fleet besides Israel, and this project is called Peace Onyx. “
How to win over Turkey? For the United States, of course, military aid is the most suitable! The F-4 fighters of the Turkish Air Force have been aging, and they have long applied to the United States to export F-16 fighters to them, and Turkey still has some pilots who have gone to the United States for modification training, but unfortunately, the current production of F-16 in the United States has been scheduled for 87 years, so it will take a long time for Turkey to get the new F-16 fighters.
And now, Turkey is facing the military threat of the Soviets, and it is urgent to strengthen Turkey's air force, and transfer the F-16 fighters produced on the production line to Turkey first, and at the same time, give Turkey a greater sweetness, that is, let Turkey produce F-16 fighters by itself! Relying on this arms sale, it is enough to win over Turkey. In fact, Turkey must rely on the United States and NATO in order to survive.
Now, this arms sale will reassure Turkey and allow it to straighten its back in front of the Soviets' exercises.
"In short, we want to give Turkey confidence that we have won the war in Iraq, and that Turkey will have one less enemy, and that Turkey has no choice but to support us." Bush concluded: "Now that we have come to this point, there is no way back, and defeating Iraq will solve all our current problems!" ”
As long as the Soviet Union does not directly send troops to support Iraq, the United States will definitely be able to win in the end! (To be continued.) )
