Section 14o8 The Black Sea Fleet goes to sea

In this case, Li Cong met with the person in charge of the Skull and Bones Society in Europe, in fact, with the position of the person in charge, he was not qualified to talk to Li Cong in person, but now the situation is urgent, and now neither of them knows what Europa means, is it really going to make dumplings for them? If this is the case, then both of them need to admire Europa's courage, daring to fight with the other two powers, it does require a lot of courage, especially Europa is at a disadvantage among the three powerful forces, which requires their courage even more, but it is not easy to see their courage to directly block the Mediterranean.

"Please sit down, I don't know what you call it?" A tall woman appeared in front of Li Cong, if it weren't for the fact that she was a woman when she was introduced before, it is estimated that no one would be able to see that the 1.8-meter-8 big guy in front of him is a woman, that's right, he is the head of the Skull Club in Europe, Danny, a more masculine name, if you think she is a woman and underestimate her, then you will definitely suffer, the people who have died at the hands of this woman over the years are at least three digits, of course, these people were killed by him himself.

"Please call me Danny, Mr. Li, although it is the first time I have met you, but in the past thirty years, my growth has been based on your myths, we have had a good cooperation between the two families before, and I hope we can also cooperate successfully this time. "This guy is very capable, but Li Cong will not be confused by these superficial phenomena in front of him, how can there be a fool who comes out of the skeleton club, this = person in front of him can be in this position, and it is definitely not a wine bag and rice bag, he must have his own ability, nodded and did not continue, but passed directly in line with the theme.

"Miss Danny, we have had a good cooperation, but the arrival of your first division in Sicily is not something we want to live, this does not seem to be within the scope of our cooperation, and the object of my cooperation with you is only in the navy, I think you should solve the problem of your 6th Army by yourself." Li Cong said, in fact, in the latest news, the first division has fully occupied Sicily, but the situation they are facing is not very good, the black shou party's all-out counteroffensive has also begun, they are all into zero, the first division of the US army if it is a hard confrontation with others, it is absolutely no problem, but in the face of such a guerrilla war, they think of the war against the moon decades ago, which is definitely the scar of the entire US 6th Army, it turns out that their daily casualties of thousands of people are indeed a little uncomfortable, in the Iraq war there were only a few casualties in total, but here, in just two days, one-tenth of the troops went to see GodNo one knows what will happen if it continues, but the losses of the black shou party elements are also very huge, basically as long as one American soldier dies, five black shou party members will immediately lose their lives.

"Mr. Li, I would like to explain this to you well. "This girl has no chance to continue, Li Cong waved his hand to stop this woman from continuing, I don't have time to talk to you at this time.

"Miss Danny, you must know that what I said is the truth, if you don't want to continue to cooperate, then start explaining your own business, I have a plan, that is, to gather all our navies in one place, our two fleets have a unified command, this is the only way to keep us, of course you can not take it, I can't force you, both of our fleets are very strong, if we are together, we can fight against Europa's fleet, but if we are separated, they may be broken one by one。 Li Cong pointed to the map and said, at this moment, time is urgent, and there is indeed not so much effort to pull off.

"Mr. Li's idea is very important, I think we will gather in the sea area at the center point of our two fleets. Danny didn't get angry when he saw Li Cong say this, after all, compared to the first division, the fleet is more important, and with the current ability of the first division, even if Europa's heavy troops are pressed, it will be difficult to do anything to them.

Now Europa's 6th Army is about 2 million, of which Li Cong's several military bases contain nearly 700,000, plus 500,000 troops who are still being reorganized, Europa still needs 500,000 troops stationed in various parts of Europa, and now they can only use about 300,000 troops, and if the 300,000 troops want to completely annihilate the more than 50,000 people of the First Division, they will need a period of time, and there are many battles in history in which the First Division won more with less.

"Sir, something happened???" Just as Li Cong and Danny were about to continue talking, Karenina hurriedly walked in, but it was difficult to say anything in front of Danny.

"It doesn't matter, now we are allies. Li Cong said with a smile, it is impossible to hide it at this time, it must be solved immediately, and looking at the appearance of Karelina in front of him, this is definitely not a trivial matter.

"Well, sir, the Russian Black Sea Fleet is the Mediterranean. Li Cong and Danny's faces immediately changed, although Lao Maozi's strength was the weakest among the powers, but now they were a very important weight, no matter which side they stood on at this moment, it was very important.

The Eurasian Black Sea is an inland sea of Eurasia 6. It covers an area of about 424,000 square kilometers. The Black Sea is connected to the Mediterranean Sea through the Turkish Strait. Important rivers flowing into the Black Sea are the Danube and the Dnieper. Lao Maozi's Black Sea Fleet is stationed in this inland sea.

The Black Sea Fleet (Russian: чephomopnetфлot) is a naval fleet of Russia (as well as the Soviet Union). The range of operations of this fleet is the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, it has several bases in the Black Sea and the Subsea, and its main base is the Ukrainian port city of Fort Sevane. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia continued to use the port as its military base, which has led to numerous diplomatic conflicts between the two countries over the past decade. According to the treaty, Russia was to withdraw from Sevastopol in 2o17. Every year, Russia pays Ukraine $100 million in rent for its bases. After the establishment of Great Russia, Ukraine was directly annexed, and there was no such thing as so-called rent.

The Russian Black Sea Fleet was founded in 1785 under Catherine II, and together with the Baltic Fleet and the Far Eastern Okhotsk Fleet, it formed a unified and powerful Tsarist Russian Navy, which at that time was the third largest naval force in the world.

In the history of more than 2oo years, it has participated in the Crimean War and the First World War. During the Great Patriotic War, he participated in the defense of Sevastopol and Odessa, and gradually became one of the four fleets of the former Soviet Union.

During the Cold War, the strategic tasks of the Black Sea Fleet were to control the Turkish Strait and go out of the Mediterranean Sea to deal with the US Navy's Sixth Fleet; disrupt the oil routes in Europe and the sea lines of communication from the United States to Asia; cross the Strait of Gibraltar and enter the Atlantic Ocean to encircle Europe from the southern flank; and support the Indian Ocean Fleet.

At the time of the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the Black Sea Fleet had a total of 833 large and small ships, including 45 large surface ships, 28 submarines, more than 15o aircraft, 85 carrier-based helicopters, and a large number of coastal and air defense equipment, with a total strength of about 80,000 troops.

The Black Sea Fleet is the only all-weather fleet in the former Soviet Navy that is not afraid of a frozen siege, with its main base and fleet headquarters located in Sevastopol, on the Crimean peninsula. The Crimean peninsula is located in the south of Ukraine, with an area of 27,000 square kilometers and a population of about 250,000. The Crimean Peninsula was annexed to Russia in 1783, and in 1954 the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union annexed the peninsula to the Ukrainian republics. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Black Sea Fleet became a key target for Russia and Ukraine.

Due to the unknown status, the Black Sea Fleet still flies the flag of the former Soviet Navy. In August 1992, Russia and Ukraine reached an agreement in Yalta to turn the Black Sea Fleet into a joint Russian-Ukrainian fleet, under the joint command of the two countries. In June 1995, the two countries officially decided to split the fleet in two. Due to the disrepair of most of the ships in the fleet, Ukraine receives only 18.3% of the ships, and the rest is sold to Russia at a discount. Progress was made on the division of ships, but the two sides were at odds over the lease of the Sevastopol base. The Russian side asked for a long-term lease and separate use of the base to rebuild the Russian Black Sea Fleet, but the Ukrainian side refused.

After the formation of Great Russia, it became the station of the Black Sea Fleet of Great Russia, which had four periods in history: the period of Tsarist Russia, the period of the Soviet Union, the period of Russia, and the period of the Great Russian Federation.

During the Russian period, Tsar Catherine the Great ordered the establishment of the Black Sea Fleet in 1783, and its earliest ships were only ships of the Subsea Fleet established by Peter the Great in 1695. The fleet was soon expanded with new ships. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Black Sea Fleet fought mainly against the Turkish and French fleets.

In the Crimean War, the Black Sea Fleet was initially successful in its operations against the Turkish fleet, but after the arrival of the British Royal Navy and the French fleet, it acted passively and was limited to the protection of Sevastopol, and its ships were used only as coastal batteries floating on the water. After the breach of Sevastopol in 1856, the crews of the remaining ships blew up and sank their ships. The Crimean War ended with the Treaty of Paris signed on March 18, 1856: Russia was forbidden to fortify the Aran Islands in the Baltic Sea, southern Moldavia was assigned to Turkey, protection of the Danube countries was abandoned, warships of all countries were not allowed to enter the Black Sea, and Russia could only have 1o small boats in the Black Sea. However, at a conference in London in 1871, this restriction was lifted.

After the October Revolution, the Black Sea Fleet held the red flag of the Bolsheviks, and in the civil war that followed, in order to prevent the Black Sea Fleet from falling into the hands of the White Army and foreign invading forces, Lenin ordered the fleet to sink itself on June 18, 1918.

Then the fleet entered the Soviet era, and after the war the Black Sea Fleet was rebuilt. Ships that had sunk in the past were salvaged and repaired, and new ships were launched. In World War II, the Black Sea Fleet actively fought against Germany and its allies. In addition to naval battles, the soldiers of the Black Sea Fleet were also used in the 6th Army, and the main battles were the Battle of Sevastopol, the 6th Battle of Kerchden, and the Battle of Crimea.

After World War II, the Black Sea Fleet was expanded into a modern, strategic fleet. In addition to the black sea, its scope of action has also expanded to the Mediterranean. On May 7, 1965, in honor of the victory over fascism, the Black Sea Fleet was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. After the collapse of the USSR, the ships of the Black Sea Fleet were divided between Ukraine and Russia. Due to its economic and financial constraints, Ukraine could not maintain its fleet. It is also difficult for Russia to guarantee the combat capability of its fleet.

For Russia, the Black Sea Fleet has a very important historical and political value, but its military value has greatly decreased after the collapse of the Soviet Union. After Turkey joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in 1952, the Bosphorus came under Western control, and the strategic value of the Black Sea Fleet was reduced. At the same time, the acquisition of nuclear armament by other fleets of the Soviet Union also gained greater strategic value than that of the Black Sea Fleet.

After the collapse of the USSR, the entire fleet of the USSR was divided into the countries of the ** at this time, and its importance almost completely disappeared. Until the agreement between the USSR and Ukraine, the Black Sea Fleet was in a state of unknown status for many years. Russia pays Ukraine $970,000 a year as berthing fees.

After 1992, regional conflicts in the Caucasus, especially in Georgia, and the use of this region as a point of transport gave the Black Sea Fleet new tasks. The naval aviation of the Black Sea Fleet, the 6 Squadron and the transport ship Chechnya were supported or directly involved in the war.

After the establishment of Great Russia, it can be said that it is a high period of the entire Black Sea Fleet exhibition, the Black Sea Fleet has ushered in more than 100,000 tons of large aircraft carriers, although there is a big gap with the energy group and the Americans and even Europa's aircraft carriers, but how to say that the Black Sea Fleet has also completed a qualitative transformation.

At present, the Black Sea Fleet has three large aircraft carriers, three small and medium-sized aircraft carriers, 6 conventional submarines, 3 cruisers, 12 destroyers, 2o frigates, about 25o surface ships of various types, and 56o combat aircraft of various types. This dispatch is definitely the main force of the fleet, at least ninety percent of the fleet has been sailed out, this is definitely a fatal blow to the fleet of the energy group and the Skull and Bones Society, if they come out to go around, it is estimated that there will be no threat to them, but if these people are here to join forces with Europa, then Li Cong and the Skull Society's fleet will be in danger at this time, the fleet of Great Russia just needs to block the Istanbul Strait, and then send its own aviation to help Europa's fleet。

"Mr. Li, the most important thing now is the Turkish Strait. Danny also quickly saw this top priority on the map, Europa can block their fleet in the Mediterranean, then they can also block Lao Maozi's fleet in the Black Sea.

The Istanbul Strait connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara and separates the Asian and European parts of Turkey (29 ° 0' E, 41 ° 0' N). The total length is 3o kilometers (19 miles). The northern estuary is 3.7 km wide at its widest point, and 75 m (

45o ft.). The depth of the middle stream varies from 36.5~124 meters (12o~4o8 feet). In the middle of the strait there is a rapids from the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara, and a countercurrent below the surface carries salty waters from the Sea of Marmara to the Black Sea. The fish season flows to and from the Guò Strait to and from the Black Sea, so the fishing industry is thriving. Both sides of the strait are lush with trees, villages, tourist attractions, ornate residences and villas. Then there's the Dardanelles.

The Dardanelles Strait (Dardanne 11esnet), formerly known as He11espont, is known as Netakka1ebogazi in Turkish. The strait connecting the Sea of Marmara and the Aegean Sea belongs to the Turkish inland sea, which is also one of the dividing lines between Asia and Europe, and is often called the Turkish Strait together with the Sea of Marmara and the Bosphorus. It is part of the famous Turkish Straits.

The two of them together form the Turkish Strait, if you want to block it, Turkey's meaning must be clear, although Turkey has not yet joined either side of Europa and Great Russia, but obviously at this time he does not want to get involved, because in the struggle of the great powers, if a small country like them is involved, it will be sacrificed.

The Turkish Strait, known as the "throat of the world", is the only strait leading from the Mediterranean Sea to the Black Sea, so it is also called the Black Sea Strait. It includes three parts: the Bosphorus Strait, the Sea of Marmara and the Dardanelles Strait, with a total length of 345km, and the entire strait is in a northeast-southwest direction, which is the dividing line between Asia and Europe. The Bosphorus Strait is bordered to the northeast, the Dardanelles Strait to the southwest, and the Sea of Marmara is the Turkish Inland Sea between the two straits. Sovereignty on both sides of the strait belongs to Turkey. The Turkish Straits are the main sea communication routes, which connect the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, and are the only outlet to the sea for Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Georgia and other countries. During the Cold War, both the United States and the Soviet Union established the Black Sea Straits as one of the most important maritime chokepoints in the world. After the Cold War, NATO still regarded the Black Sea straits as one of the strategic points of the Eurasian Big 6.

The Turkish Straits are the main sea communication routes, which connect the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, and are the only outlet to the sea for Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Georgia and other countries. The Mediterranean climate belongs to the Mediterranean area, most of the year is calm, the sea current is slow, the beach reef is few, the shipping conditions are superior, so the sea shipping is very busy, the annual guò ship is about 40,000, hundreds of warships, the total tonnage of about 400 million tons (excluding warships). The Turkish Strait is the choke point to the Black Sea in Western Asia, North Africa and Southern Europe. This unique geographical location makes it a battleground for soldiers in the past, present and future. For nearly two centuries, the European powers have waged a long and fierce struggle for control of the strait. Russia has waged several wars against Turkey for this purpose, and British and French troops have also occupied the strait area. In 1936, the countries concerned convened an international conference on the Turkish Straits and reached an agreement. It stipulates that ships of various countries can freely pass through the Guò Strait, and warships of countries bordering the Black Sea can also pass through Guò, with the exception of aircraft carriers, but there are certain restrictions on the passage of warships of non-Black Sea littoral countries. Nowadays, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Warsaw Pact no longer exists, NATO is actively expanding eastward, and Turkey has joined NATO and become NATO's southern flank, so the strategic position of the Turkish Strait is becoming increasingly prominent, and it has an important impact on the global strategy of the world powers. For the CIS, primarily Russia, the Turkish Straits are a strategic barrier to the Mediterranean and Indian Oceans to the south. It concerns the vital interests of the United States and NATO, so it will not be taken lightly. Therefore, it is no surprise that the Turkish Straits are the focus of attention in the world today. After the disappearance of NATO, Turkey directly took over the entire strait, although in terms of its national strength, it is somewhat difficult to control such a strait, but now the countries of the world do not have the spare time to take care of them.

"Sir, our people from the Turkish side have sent back the news that they want to be neutral and will not care about anyone's actions. After Karelina finished speaking, she couldn't help but feel indignant at these people in Turkey, since you want to do nothing, you should block the sea area at war, what is it now? It is impossible for the energy group and the Americans to have a surplus fleet to enter the Black Sea, this regulation can only be convenient for the Great Russian side, and it seems that the Great Russia has also put a lot of effort into Turkey.

"These wolves that are not well fed. Danny said hatefully, and Li remembered that Turkey used to be the little brother of the Americans, and the relationship has always been good.

Turkey is a large country in the Middle East, spanning Europe and Asia

Strategic position is very important. After the end of World War II, Turkey's relations with the United States became closer and closer. Turkey, founded on Islam, joined NATO in 1952 and formed a strategic alliance with the United States, allowing the United States to establish military bases on its territory to monitor and gather intelligence on the former Soviet Union. However, along with the changes in international and domestic shapes, there have also been frictions in U.S.-Turkish relations. In 1975, the United States imposed a three-year arms embargo on Turkey because of its invasion of Cyprus, and relations between the two countries suddenly fell to the bottom. However, after the embargo was lifted, the strategic cooperation between the two countries was immediately restored. Between 1991 and 2oo3, U.S. reconnaissance planes against Iraq flew from their bases in Turkey.

In addition, Turkey is involved in several major Pentagon military cooperation projects, including the high-profile F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, which Turkey has invested $175 million and expects to purchase 1oo fighter jets after the introduction of the fighter jet, and is also preparing to spend $1.6 billion to upgrade the existing 2oo F-16s. In addition, the Turkish government's earlier announced military procurement projects to the United States, including $1.3 billion in the purchase of the Patriot-III missile defense system, $800 million in 52 Black Hawk helicopters, $500 million in the purchase of 1O heavy helicopters, and a total of 15~2O dollars, 3O to 5O Apache or Cobra combat helicopters.

During the Iraq War, the United States had military bases and important military-related facilities in Turkey, with as many as 5ooo permanent military personnel. Although Turkey refused to allow the United States to open up the northern battlefield out of its own interests when the United States used force against Iraq in 2oo3, 7o% of the air cargo from the United States to Iraq now uses Turkey's Ingirli base, and one-third of the fuel provided for Iraq's operations passes through Turkish roads.

The relationship between Turkey and the United States is very complicated, and opposition to the United States is quite common among the local population. According to a recent poll, only 11% of the Turkish population favored the United States in 2o37, compared to 38% in 2oo4. But the pro-American attitude of Turkish government officials is clear. Although Turkey has long been a member of NATO, it has not yet joined the European Union, so after the establishment of Europa, Turkey did not join the pole, but the relationship with the Americans is not as good as before, although the Americans still have troops in Turkey, but compared with the previous freedom, there is now a lot more helplessness, this activity is a head-up, and they dare to help Great Russia, but Great Russia They are mortal enemies, and there are many fights in history.

In history, a series of wars between the Russian Empire and Ottoman Turkey in the 17th and 19th centuries for the Caucasus, the Balkans, the Crimea, the Black Sea, etc., lasted for a total of 241 years, with an average of one large-scale war in less than 19 years, of which 11 were important. Russia lost four and won seven. Although the territory seized was not large, only two small mountain Christian states of Moldova and the Caucasus, it dealt a blow to the authority of Ottoman Turkey and shook its rule.

It stands to reason that Turkey used to be an empire that spanned Eurasia 6, but now it can only be regarded as a big power in the Middle East, especially during the 10th Russo-Turkish War, it can be said that the two sides fought particularly fiercely.

The Ottoman Empire (1299~1922) was once a great empire spanning Europe, Asia and Africa. However, in the second half of the 19th century, it had declined, and in order to save the empire, a series of salvation movements and democratic reforms were carried out by people of insight such as Mustafa Reshid Pasha and Midhat Pasha, and at the end of 1875, the internal appearance of the Ottoman Empire (1299~1922) deteriorated rapidly. In the northern and central regions of Asia Minor, a great famine was on the verge of financial collapse, and the shadow of foreign power intervention hung over the country. Under this form, the struggle for internal politics is hot. On May 3o, 1876, Abdul Aziz was overthrown and Murad V was appointed Sultan. On 31 August, Abdul Hamid II succeeded the deranged Murad as sultan of the city. It became a Western-style bourgeois constitutional monarchy, but national contradictions spread under the banner of democracy. Uprisings broke out in Herzegovina, Bosnia, and Bulgaria, and soon spread to Serbia and Montenegro, two Turkish vassals. Turkey brutally suppressed the insurgents, but failed to control the changes in the situation in the northwestern Balkans, and its rule in the Balkans began to waver.

Faced with this situation, Russia, Austria, and Britain, among the European powers, expressed their special concern. Russia, in particular, believes that the Crimean War of 1853~1856 has caused it to lose face and prestige and influence in the Balkans, and it needs to find an opportunity to return to the Balkans and restore its original position. More importantly, Russia wanted to control the Bosphorus, the throat of the Black Sea from the Mediterranean, in order to open up the only outlet to the southwest that it had been seeking for a long time. Therefore, it gloated over the deterioration of the situation in Turkey and actively intervened in it.

Under the banner of "saving the Christians under the oppression of the Turkish Empire" and "protecting the Slavic brothers", the tsarist government first exerted diplomatic pressure on the Turkish government through guò diplomatic channels, but the effect was not significant. Its proposed collective protection of the Slavs was opposed by Great Britain, which was supported by Austria-Hungary. This was followed by an initiative to establish autonomy in Bosnia, Herzegovina and Bulgaria, which was also rejected by Turkey.

Turkey, with the support of Britain behind it, sought to defeat the rebels and Serbia and Negro on the battlefield on June 3o, 1876. When it became clear that the shape on the battlefield was in favor of the Turkish government, the Tsar formally declared war on Turkey on April 24, 1877. In May, Romania and Serbia and Montenegro announced that they would join Russia in the war against Turkey.

On the eve of the start of the war, Russia had 48 infantry divisions with a total of 720,000 men and 3ooo guns, forming 16 corps. According to the battle plan formulated by the Minister of the 6th Army, Dmitry Alekseevich Milyutin, nine armies were deployed on the front line, of which two armies of 10,000 people formed the Caucasian Army, which was commanded by the emperor's younger brother, Grand Duke Mikhail Nikolanavich, and the militia groups of Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Osedia, and other places joined the Caucasus Army and took the defensive. Concentrated on the Danube front line with 3o men in 7 armies, the Bulgarian militia commanded by Russian General Nikolai Grigorievich Stoletov also joined the Danube Army, and it is expected that the Turkish army in front of the army will not exceed 150,000 on the battlefield because of the division of troops to suppress the Bulgarians, and the Russian army can quickly break through the Balkan Mountains with twice the numerical superiority, break through Istanbul before the Western reaction and decide the situation of the war. The commander of the Danube Army was the elder Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolayevich, but the Russian Tsar Alexander II was with him, and it was the chief of staff Milyutin who actually commanded the operation.

After the military reform of the Ottoman Empire (1299~1922), the whole army of 4o6,000 people and 858 guns, of which 280,000 were concentrated in Europe, commanded by Abdul Kerim Nadir Pasha. 126,000 in Asia, commanded by Ahmad Mukhtar Pasha. Turkey's Turkish Black Sea Fleet has 22 armored ships, 82 unarmored ships, 763 naval guns, and 15,000 officers and men, which has a qualitative advantage over the newly built Russian Black Sea Fleet. Considering that the 6 Army did not have enough troops to attack, it was determined to rely on the Danube quadruple and the Balkan Mountains for defense in depth, waiting for assistance from Western countries. The Russian army has an advantage over the Turkish army in terms of military organization, troop training, command personnel, and troop morale, but it is inferior to the Turkish army in terms of the quality of weapons and equipment, because the Turkish army's weapons come from Britain, Germany, and the United States.

After the start of the war, the Russian army was overwhelmed, capturing a large area of Turkish territory in one fell swoop, and the victory of the Russian army caused panic in Britain and Austria-Hungary (1867~1918), and the British government of Benjamin Disraeli sent a British Royal Navy detachment to the Sea of Marmara, posing a posture of not hesitating to break up, which forced Russia to abandon the plan to march to Constantinople. On 31 January, an armistice was signed between the warring parties, and on 3 March 1878, the Treaty of San Stefano was signed. The treaty, which was concocted in advance by Russian Foreign Minister Alexander Mikhailovich Gorchakov and the Tsar, was a complete alliance for Turkey, with no room for maneuver. The treaty stipulated: Turkey recognized the three countries of Montenegro, Serbia and Romania completely**, recognized Bosnia and Herzegovina to gain autonomy but remained within Turkish territory, established a large Bulgarian state and allowed Russian influence to exist in Bulgaria, returned southwestern Sarabia to Russia, incorporated Kars, Batumi into Ardahan and Bayazit into Russian territory, and amended the rules of passage through the Bosphorus Strait to allow the passage of warships of Russia and other Black Sea littoral countries.

The signing of the "Peace Treaty of San Stefano" aroused strong dissatisfaction among Britain, Austria and other countries, and they jointly exerted pressure on Russia to spit out the fruits that had been swallowed. German Minister Otto von Bismarck came forward to mediate, claiming to be an honest intermediary, and because the balance of power was extremely unfavorable to Russia, Russia was forced to redefine the "Berlin Treaty" with the Great Powers and to make heavy amendments to the "Peace of San Stefano": Great Bulgaria became Little Bulgaria, and the Bosphorus Strait was still closed to Russian ships. Russia's influence in the Balkans was contained, and its attempts to show its naval power in the direction of the Mediterranean Sea were once again frustrated. It simply recovered the territories ceded in the Crimean War. The Treaty of Berlin also provided for Turkey to cede Cyprus to Great Britain and Bosnia and Herzegovina to Austria-Hungary. It essentially carved up Turkey in part, but it was far from resolving many of the most important Balkan conflicts. It was it that made many of the decisions that later became important impetus to the outbreak of the First World War.

Let's not talk about the other powers, in the eyes of Turkey, their weakening began from this, all because of the Russian offensive, it can be said that they are feuding, but why did they help Great Russia this time?

"Danny, the situation is very urgent now, I need you to understand, now we can't have any reservations, although we don't have any specific news, but I can be sure that the current situation in the Mediterranean is that we are two houses together, Europa and Sequoia have joined forces, we are stronger than them in the world, but in the Mediterranean we don't have that ability, you have been operating in Turkey for so many years, don't tell me that you can't block the Turkish Straits. Li Cong looked at the Russian Black Sea Fleet, which was already approaching the Turkish Strait, and said, if they really come out, Europa's fleet will enter the Mediterranean Sea again, then the strength ratio can reach at least one to one, five points, plus the shore-based aircraft along the way, then the energy group and the Americans have no advantage at all, Europa's blockade is really ruthless, and it directly makes the energy group and the Americans have no effect of supporting from the sea.

"I understand, but I hope that Mr. Lee's forces in the area around the Black Sea can be at my disposal. "Danny is not a person who talks a lot of nonsense, compared to most of the members of the Skull and Bones Society, Li Cong still likes the style of the person in front of him very much, and immediately asked Karelina to go down to assist him, the time is urgent, but now I can't afford to delay, in a few hours the fleet of Great Russia may sail out of the Black Sea.

Li Cong didn't want to contact his old acquaintances over there at all, those people over there were eager to kill themselves at this time, how could they discuss things with themselves, if it weren't for himself, it is estimated that the things that people have saved for so many years will not be directly soaked by themselves, and it is precisely because of the robbery there that Li Cong now has a special diamond exhibition hall, if those who sell jewelry see it, they will probably not be able to pull their legs immediately.

Not long after Danny left, Li Congye received a notice that the strategic transport air force of the United States began to be activated, and about thousands of tons of materials began to fly towards the station of the first division, they may have to fly directly to Sicily after refueling in the Middle East, they also understood that the things in front of them are not so easy to mess around, they need to fight a protracted war, the first division, the energy group will not have a little assistance, they can only rely on themselves.

In a certain air base on the mainland of the United States, dozens of large C-135 transport planes carrying a large number of weapons and ammunition began to take off, next to them, there are hundreds of F35 and the newly developed F37 multi-purpose aircraft escort, their task is to send the first division the necessary weapons and ammunition, so that they can withstand the first wave of attack, in the next few days these pilots may have to eat and live on the plane, their fatigue will add a few pieces to the medal of the first division.

At the same time, the sales channels of the energy group in Europe also began to send thousands of tons of fuel to Sicily, in the war energy has always been the largest transport thing, although Li Cong said that he would not manage the first division, but within the scope of his own permission, it is still possible, according to Li Cong's agreement with various countries, as long as he does not interrupt the energy supply to various countries, he can call energy at will even in the territory of his own hostile country, although Europa knows that these thousands of tons of energy to the hands of the first division will at least harvest the lives of tens of thousands of people, but they do not have the courage to stop Li Cong, because an energy embargo could kill them.
