(1st Update)

Obviously, Demirel will not take Yanayev's unspoken warning to heart, and in Turkey's view, it is like scratching an itch in the shoe, and the United States is about to help Turkey build an anti-missile system on its own land because of the threat to the Soviet Union, and in Demirel's view, when the Soviet Union does not say that it wants to attack Turkey, even if it threatens Turkey, it must weigh whether its long-range missiles can fall on the land of Istanbul or Ankara.

Surprisingly, however, Yanayev did not take any further repressive stance after the statement, but instead fell silent and did not take action. It also made Demirel more convinced that the Soviet Union was just bluffing.

In the office of Defense Minister Sabahatin, Demirel even held a small celebration banquet. He had come to tell Sabahatin to be careful about the recent movements of the Russian army, but the other party only told himself that the Soviet army had not taken action, and even the usual patrols of the border appeared to be a little cautious, as if they were afraid of offending Turkey.

"The Soviets were just a sick bear that seemed to be formidable, and they did nothing but bark at us twice through the fence of the cage. Yanayev's protest was not even as good as a three-year-old kid punching me in the nose. Demirel said triumphantly as he chatted with the Minister of Defense. In his opinion, everything is under his control at the moment.

"Turkey will not be afraid of air strikes by Soviet fighters, come on, whether it is Suiho or Mikoyan, our American fighters will be able to shoot them down, without exception." Defense Minister Sabahatin was even more arrogant. After defeating a Su-27 fighter, they arrogantly believed that the Soviet Union's military strength was no more than that.

Turkey also signed an order with the United States. A batch of Stinger missiles for air defense was urgently purchased from US military companies. Although it is somewhat powerless to deal with fighters like the MiG-29 or Su-27, it is more than enough for the Mi-24 Hind helicopter or Su-25 attack aircraft.

Turkey's courage comes from the backing of the United States and the imminent creation of an anti-missile system, so he is not at all afraid of what the Soviet Union will do to him. Although President Demirel mistakenly believed that Turkey was not far from the Soviet Union, he also knew that Yanayev would not start a war because he did not want to be isolated from the world.

"The words of the General Secretary of the Soviet Union were nothing more than a means of appeasing the population. We have everything in place and are waiting for the other side to throw themselves into the net, and if the Soviet Union really had the courage to risk invading Turkey against the whole world, I will definitely make these people pay a terrible price. Demirel said.

Demirel gently placed his glass on the table, now that the Minister of Defense was no longer worried that things would go in his own disadvantageous direction. Then Demirel's next path will be easy. The blockade of the straits was used to force the Soviet Black Sea Fleet into submission. At the same time, it also made the hard-line Yanayev government make another ugly appearance in front of the whole world. At least let the people of the whole world see clearly the incompetent face of this socialist country.

Although at the press conference, Defense Minister Sabahatin said directly in dialect that "Turkey is not at all afraid of any kind of threat from the Soviet Union, even an attack." Because we can push the army directly to Moscow in a week. Regain the glory of the Ottoman Empire! ”

In the face of the opponent's aggressive provocation, he only briefly said, "It is a pity that Hitler had the same thoughts as Minister of Defense Sabahatin back then, and as for the final outcome, I will not repeat the narrative." ”

Demirel clearly underestimated the horror of a superpower. Because even in the most down-to-earth moments, they are not countries that can be shaken by a few flies. So when Demirel and Defense Minister Sabahatin had a big talk. Sitting in his office, he received bad news.

Border guard posts on the Turkish border were hit by explosions. Border areas with Syria, Iraq and Iran were attacked by unknown armed forces, who shot the soldiers inside the post and then blew up the entire post in a process that lasted less than a few minutes, cleanly, quietly and quickly, looking like the work of special forces.

And Syria, Iraq and Iran happen to be the three watchdogs that Yanayev has personally cultivated. The Soviets also reminded Turkey that you have three Soviet military allies by your side.

"What? You say that military posts on the Turkish border were hit by unknown armed forces? Demirel could not believe his ears when he heard the news, which seemed to him to be as inconceivable as a direct Soviet military strike on Turkey, with the difference that one was a secret operation that was not recognized, and the other was an act of revenge in the open.

As long as the Soviet Union does not recognize this, then Turkey will not be able to help Yanayev. Moreover, the attitude of the Soviet Union is obvious, even if Turkey insists that it is the Soviet side that it is to blame, it will not help.

"There were more than 20 dead and wounded, of course, this was a secret operation, we can't know who the other side is, but what can be confirmed is that the Soviet Union has the biggest suspicion." Defense Minister Sabahatin was a little helpless, and before the celebration party was held, Turkey was hit by such a major blow.

In the face of the USSR, Turkey's means were, after all, a little more immature, and now the initiative in the whole situation is again in the hands of Yanayev. Because the Soviet Union's retaliatory methods, if not dealt with properly, are likely to provoke a war between the two countries.

"Or do we retaliate in the same way? Since the USSR dared to take military action on our turf, then he should be prepared for retaliation. "Demirel thought of retaliating with the same means as a tooth for a tooth.

Sabahatin, on the other hand, looked down on Demirel's naivety, "Heh, President Demirel, do you think that after this incident, the Soviet Union will not strengthen the security of the border?" Maybe they're waiting for us to come and die. At that time, Turkey will have the handle on the Soviet Union, so that we will be more passive. ”

"It doesn't work like this, it doesn't work like that, what do you want me to do!" Demirel said angrily.

"Pull the United States in, if we want to play big with the Soviet Union, Turkey has no way except the United States." "We want to create trouble in the Black Sea straits at the United Nations meeting and make it difficult for the Soviet Union," Sabahatin said. (To be continued.) )
