For Western Europe, led by Britain and the United States, all preparations are in place, and it can be said that everything is ready and only the east wind is owed. What is the east wind www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion? Naturally, it was waiting for the USSR to make a move. According to their arrangement, once the Soviet Union makes a move in Turkey, then they will also launch it in other battlefields in the world at the same time, and this time they will definitely make Lao Maozi unable to take care of himself.

People. The leaders of the Lord Liberty are gearing up, but there is one small detail that is worth playing. While they were doing so much preparations, none of them even thought of informing Turkey of the situation. I have to say, it's quite interesting.

Why do you claim to be for the people? Lord, for the sake of freedom, Britain and the United States, which claim to be enlightened and fair, have no intention of ventilating the Turks? Did you forget?

Not really, it's deliberate, or in the words of the British and Americans: "It's the people. The Lord's decision. ”

Yes, in the interests of Anglo-American and Western Europe, a stupid Turkey is needed. If Turkey is made aware of the true attitude of the Soviet Union, will the stupid Turkey still resist the Soviet Union?

The answer is obvious, the Turks are not so stupid. The reason why they had the courage to argue with the Soviet Union was simply because they had the backing of Britain and the United States. If there had been no Britain and the United States, the Turks would have been scared and would have immediately agreed to the demands of the USSR, wouldn't it be the right of free passage? Given.

And Britain and the United States deliberately concealed the news in order to let Turkey trap the Soviet Union. On the one hand, they pay lip service to Turkey to cheer them up, but on the other hand, they are ready to let Turkey carry mines.

May 9 is a special day when Nazi Germany finally announced its unconditional surrender, which means that the bloody World War II has finally come to an end. The war that began in Germany ended in Germany. And this war, which was waged by the Germans, changed the face of the world in its entirety.

From the eighteenth century onwards, the world was dominated by two countries, England and France. All the world order, all the rules of the game are completely made by these two countries. To put it mildly, these two countries have dominated the world for more than 200 years. For two hundred years, there have been attempts to challenge the system created by Britain and France, some Russians and some Germans, but they have failed.

But in 1940, the system finally collapsed. Britain is no longer the world's brother, and France is even more vulnerable. This is an era of alternation between the old and the new, and the struggle for a new generation of world bosses will unfold between the United States and the Soviet Union. The new battle for supremacy officially erupted at the moment when the white flag was raised in Germany, and the Turkish crisis was the first leg of the confrontation.

When the first round officially began, several other far-reaching events took place. The first is that the new congress of the USSR has officially set a date, May 15. It was a historic transfer of power, as Trotsky, one of the twin cores of the October Revolution, officially bid farewell to the political arena and the first generation of Soviet leaders officially retreated into the background. The second generation of Soviet leaders will be on the scene, and the next 20 years will be up to Sverdlov and Li Xiaofeng.

It was a historic change of power, with the first two decades of the Soviet Union being a period of accumulation and the next two decades a blockbuster upswing.

Of course, it is too early to say this, Trotsky still has some tasks to be done. Perhaps as a core leader, he was not very qualified, and he did not make many dazzling achievements during his tenure, but leading the Soviet Union to win the Great Patriotic War was his greatest credit. Trotsky was the most important and laborious man in leading a backward country that had just completed its initial industrialization to survive such a great challenge and become one of the world's greatest superpowers. Facing retirement, he has a lot to say.

The last political session before the General Assembly. At the plenary session of the Governing Council, Trotsky proposed that a grand military parade be held on 9 June, a month before the Nazis formally surrendered, to commemorate the great war. This proposal was naturally adopted by a meaningless vote. Then the focus of Trotsky's work shifted to the organization of the parade, and in the opinion of the elder Toll, it was a great compliment to celebrate the Great Patriotic War and his glorious retirement with a grand military parade. He wants to talk about his psychology for many years at this grand military parade, and he will sum up the past and hope for the future.

Lao Tor was busy with the military parade, and Sverdlov was busy with the convening of the congress, which, as the future leadership core, according to Soviet tradition, would be under full responsibility. As for Li Xiaofeng, because the former core Lao Tuo and the future core Xiao Si are both involved in trivial matters, the national politics of the Soviet Union have basically fallen on his shoulders during this period of time. For the future second-in-command, the burden is heavy.

"The Great Patriotic War was won, but this does not mean that the world is at peace." Li Xiaofeng is in the army. "There are many challenges that the Soviet Union will face, and it is an important responsibility of the Red Army to consolidate the achievements of the war, to solve the problems left over from the war, and to face a war without gunpowder in the new era...... We have a mess in our hands, the economies of Central and Eastern Europe are collapsing, supplies are scarce, and ethnic and religious conflicts in some parts of the country have become more acute. And our enemies, the imperialist bandits, will not give up their centuries-old privileges, and they will secretly play tricks even if they dare not attack the Soviet Union openly. So comrades, this is not yet the time to enjoy peace, the Red Army is more vigilant at this moment than in wartime, and must be ready to respond to all kinds of challenges at all times! ”

The generals present at the meeting were a little surprised, because most of them thought that the main content of this enlarged meeting was to reward meritorious deeds, that is, to promote military ranks and issue medals. Suddenly, some people couldn't help but think: "Is the third war really imminent?" ”

For a while, the atmosphere in the venue froze, and the marshals and generals did not dare to come out, staring directly at a certain immortal, for fear of missing some important words.

Li Xiaofeng was very satisfied with their attitude, he was just worried that some people would relax their vigilance, so he deliberately said seriously, since the effect is good, there is no need to continue to increase the weight.

Of course, some comrades may have heard rumors and gossip that after the fascists are resolved, there will be a war between the proletariat and imperialism. This statement is both true and wrong. It is correct that in order to achieve complete emancipation, the proletariat must defeat the imperialism that oppresses us on its shoulders, and this struggle will never stop. But what is wrong with this statement is that there is more to struggle than war. Judging from the current form, with the advent of nuclear weapons, the possibility of a direct armed conflict between us and the imperialist bloc headed by the United States is very small. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xiaofeng deliberately paused, and then taught him an unusually serious lesson: "But I want to remind you that if a hot war will not break out, it does not mean that there will be no struggle. It doesn't mean you can let your guard down. The form of the struggle will be very special, but no matter how special the form, one thing is certain: the Red Army must maintain sufficient deterrence and must be ready to fight at all times, so that our enemies will not dare to take risks. ”

After teaching the marshals and generals a lesson, Li Xiaofeng got to the point: "Moreover, there will be no direct armed conflict between us and imperialism, and it does not mean that there will be no war in the future." The wars of the future will be waged in those fraternal countries of the proletariat that have just freed themselves from and are struggling to get rid of imperialist exploitation. For example, Huaxia. In order to support these class brothers, we, the Soviet Union, naturally cannot sit idly by, and we will be indirectly involved in the conflict. Some of you may travel to these conflict zones as military advisers, and I hope you will be mentally prepared in this regard. ”

After another pause, Li Xiaofeng continued: "Of course, this is a situation, and there is a more special situation, that is, the Red Army is directly involved in the conflict. Turkey, for example. Probably, many of the comrades present here already know what is happening in Turkey. This country harbored the Nazis and accepted a group of demons led by Hitler, and in order to completely eliminate the fascists, the Soviet Red Army had reason and responsibility to teach the Turks a lesson. I can tell you now that because of the connivance of Britain and the United States, our diplomatic efforts have basically failed, Turkey has not the slightest intention of admitting its mistakes and repentance, and war is inevitable. Politics. The decision has been made to fight a local war of limited scale to eliminate the evil current Turkish government and liberate both sides of the Black Sea straits. ”

With a bang, the marshals and generals were boiling, for them to have a new battle to fight means more honor, who would think that there are more medals and higher ranks? Especially this is still to fight Turkey, for Russia, what it has dreamed of for two hundred years is to rush out of the Black Sea, that is, to seize Constantinople. Now that the top has agreed, what are you waiting for, hurry up and ask for war!

A group of marshals and generals, including Rokossovsky, Zhukov, and Konev, were boiling over in groups, all trying to gain command of the battle. But Li Xiaofeng could not have given them this opportunity, because from the beginning this honor belonged only to Vasilevsky. It's not because Vasilevsky is capable, but because of politics. As a result of the compromise in the political situation, the power of a certain immortal in the military was too strong, what Ubolevich, what Triandafilov, as well as Zhukov, Rokossovsky and other fierce generals, if the honor of Turkey was handed over to his people, then Trotsky and Sverdlov would not have to be mixed.

Therefore, Turkey must have no chance with Li Xiaofeng's lineage, and Sverdlov really has no suitable candidate, so he can only let Lao Tuo pick up a bargain. Of course, this cheap is not so easy to pick up, Turkey is not a fish belly, let alone a soft persimmon, not so easy to handle. Although before the First World War, Ottoman Turkey was called the sick man of the Near East, objectively speaking, Turkey's performance in the First World War was still passable, at least it taught Britain and France a great lesson. Otherwise, after Kemal's coup d'état, there were constant small actions, and Britain and France could have given Turkey a little bit of a good look, why was there no substantial punishment later? The reason is that after Kemal's changes, Turkey is no longer what it used to be.

Turkey is not easy to bully, and even if Britain and the United States and other countries will not directly intervene in the war between the Soviet Union and Turkey, it is inevitable to secretly provide military assistance to Turkey, so that Turkey with backup will be even more difficult to deal with. For the USSR, the war was not so simple.

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng also made great efforts to select commanders for this battle, the commander was Vasilevsky, and the chief of staff was Sokolovsky. Needless to say, Vasilevsky belongs to the big bull. And Sokolovsky's qualifications are also quite dazzling, before he took charge of himself, he served as the chief of staff of Zhukov and Konev for a long time, and he was quite good at organizing and planning and making suggestions. After the war, he served as deputy commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of the Soviet Red Army cluster in Germany for a long time, and later served as first deputy minister of defense and chief of the general staff. For him to serve as Vasilevsky's assistant, it is considered a high match.

The 38th Guards Army, which had accumulated rich experience in mountain warfare under Konev in Central and Eastern Europe, the 37th Guards Army, the ace Guards 37th Army in the hands of Vasilevsky, the 8th Guards Army in Zhukov's hands, plus the 21st, 27th and 33rd Armies, which were also rich in combat experience, and the 52nd Army, which was originally attached to the Turkish border, totaled 900,000 people. In addition, there was the cooperation of the Bulgarian Front, which was originally stationed in Bulgaria. The total number of troops is more than one million.

The specific disposition of forces was such that on the border between Bulgaria and Greece, the 37th and 38th armies were deployed on the front line, and the 9th Army served as reserves. The remaining 21st, 27th, 33rd and 52nd armies were deployed in the Georgian, Armenian directions.

The focus of the battle was still on the European direction, and the 37th and 38th armies were responsible for solving the Turkish army in the European direction and taking Constantinople directly. The main role of the Red Army in the Georgian and Armenian directions was a feint and a firm pinning down of the main forces of the Turkish army on the peninsula of Asia Minor.

According to the agreement reached by Li Xiaofeng and the Bulgarian and Greek churches, the ultimate goal of this war is to completely separate the Turkish provinces of Edirne, Kokrelli, Tekilda, Istanbul, Kocaeli, Bursa, Balekesir, and Canakkale from Turkey.

There may be comrades who count and feel that they can strip off the eight provinces of Turkey in one go, how big is this? In fact, it is not so exaggerated, in Li Xiaofeng's opinion, a so-called provincial-level administrative unit in Turkey is actually about the same size as a prefecture-level city on the side of the Communist Party of T. These eight provinces are actually just a few of Turkey's European parts and the Strait coast. In terms of area, it will be the northwest corner of Turkey.

Of course, the political and military significance of this tiny northwest corner is unprecedented, including the all-important Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles. This is the gateway to the Black Sea, and if you take this little corner out of Turkey, Turkey will truly become an Asian country in its true sense.

This is the European part, and in fact on the side of Georgia and Armenia, the Soviet Union also has ideas, and it is safe to say that after this war, Turkey and the Soviet Union will not have to think about normalizing relations in the coming decades. In the future, Turkey will definitely regard the Soviet Union as a mortal enemy (in fact, the two countries have been mortal enemies for two hundred years, and ten Russian-Turkish wars are a joke?). ）。 In order to prevent Turkey from causing trouble in the Caucasus of the Soviet Union, and to further weaken Turkey, the Soviet Union will support the Kurds in eastern Turkey and let them drain Turkey's energy.

The whole project is very ambitious, and if it succeeds, the situation in the Black Sea and the Near East will be turned upside down. It's just that the difficulty of this plan is not small, and it is not particularly difficult to take the European part of Turkey, and with the strength of the three elite Guards armies of the Red Army, it is enough to beat the Turkish army on this side. What was really difficult was the subsequent sea-crossing operation, the crossing of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, as well as the occupation of the vital shores of the straits, which was a test for the Soviet Red Army.

Of course, it is more difficult to actually occupy this area. Since the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the Turks have been operating in this area for almost five hundred years, and for five hundred years, they can torture the monkey sex of the monkeys, let alone ordinary people. At this time, the power of Turkey in the strait area was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Most of the residents are ****** believe in YSL, the power of the Orthodox Church here is not as good as before, it only belongs to a small number of sects, and it is impossible to rely on that group of fake monks to get everything sincere, and even because of these fake monks, a bad green and green people will go crazy and engage in jihad.

In short, it's easy to take Istanbul, but it's hard to turn Istanbul into Constantinople again! Anyway, Li Xiaofeng is ready to fight a protracted war. This area will not be stable in the next forty or fifty years.

However, Li Xiaofeng actually doesn't want this area to be too stable, as a person who has come over, he knows how widespread extreme green religions will be in the future, and how troublesome the terrorism problem caused by this will be. And in the future, the attitude of the Soviet Union towards the extreme green religion is also a given, that is, containment and suppression, and these guys must not be allowed to mess up the Caucasus and Central Asia of the Soviet Union. And the high-pressure policy will inevitably provoke a strong backlash from these extremists, and if they are not given something to do, these gangs will definitely open fire directly at the Soviet Union.

So how do you find something to do for them? Li Xiaofeng found two targets, one was Constantinople and the other was Jerusalem. The establishment of an Orthodox state in Constantinople is not even without hinting at the religious war in it, with the intelligence of those extremists, for the sake of the so-called face, they are absolutely not willing to bite Constantinople, and they are likely to flock to Constantinople wave after wave under the slogan of so-called holy war. On the other hand, as long as the Jews take over Jerusalem and set a wedge in Palestine and the Middle East, the Arab extremists will not be interested in the Soviet Union, but will do everything possible to eliminate Israel. In this way, these terrorists have a clear goal, and I am afraid that they will not be interested in causing trouble on the territory of the Soviet Union until they take these two places back.

Even Li Xiaofeng was willing to secretly add fuel to the flames and send those extreme greens in the hinterland of the Soviet Union who did not listen to education to these two battlefields.

To put it bluntly, Li Xiaofeng is using Constantinople and Jerusalem as a flesh and blood millstone, and let the extremists go to these two places to die, although it is a luxury to let them die, but it can completely hurt their vitality and never make trouble in the Soviet Union again.

Therefore, in a sense, this attack on Turkey is not only for the sake of access to the Black Sea, but also for the stability and unity of the Soviet Union in Central Asia. Naturally, this war must not be sloppy.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng is not completely staring at Turkey, he knows very well that once he makes trouble in Turkey, it will be tantamount to setting the tone for future relations with Britain and the United States. Even if there is no direct armed conflict, these two countries will do everything possible to support and arm Turkey. Anyway, World War II has just ended, and the mountains of military surplus materials are not used up, and it is definitely an inevitable choice for Britain and the United States to support Turkey and make trouble for the Soviet Union.

Even, Li Xiaofeng did not rule out that these two companies would take advantage of the fact that the Soviet Union was busy fighting Turkey to do something in other regions. After all, the sphere of influence that the Soviet Union had just conquered was not stable, and there were too many points to exploit to find faults.

In order to respond to possible small moves by Britain and the United States, the Soviet Union had to be vigilant. So another focus of this meeting is defense.

"Appointment of Comrade Rokossovsky as Commander-in-Chief of the Red Army in the Occupied Zones of Western Europe, Comrade Zhukov as Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armed Forces of the Red Army in the Occupied Zones of Central and Eastern Europe, Comrade Vasilevsky as Commander-in-Chief of the Red Army in the Occupied Zones of Southern Europe and Asia Minor, and Comrade Konev as Commander of the Central Asian Military District of the Red Army......"

According to Li Xiaofeng's meaning, Rokossovsky's task was to be the military chief in charge of the lines of Germany, Denmark, Austria, and Poland, and was responsible for keeping an eye on Britain and the United States in this direction. And Zhukov sat in Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and managed this area. As for Vasilevsky, the focus was on Turkey, and Konev went to Central Asia to see Iran. Let the giants of the Red Army take charge of each end and withstand the counterattack of Britain and the United States in their respective directions.

In fact, Li Xiaofeng is not particularly worried about these areas, Li Xiaofeng is most worried about the Far East, which is too variable, and the enemy's forces are even stronger.

"How are the peace talks between the Communists going?" Army. After the committee's memories ended, Li Xiaofeng immediately began to inquire about Huaxia's affairs.

Yakov replied: "There is not much progress for the time being, it is still in the process of!" ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded and instructed: "Tell Comrade Blyukhel that you must not believe the nonsense of the People's Party and the promises of the Americans, and let him tell the comrades in Huaxia to make preparations for war, and never be careless!" (To be continued.) )
