"We believe that the Soviet Union will collude with the PKK in Turkey and use the PKK to put pressure on the Turkish government. Force Demirel to submit to the Soviet's iron heel, so the CIA's movement in Turkey is to pay close attention to the PKK , especially Öcalan's recent activities. Once there is any action, we will rule over the Turkish intelligence services and let them trap Öcalan. Moreover, Moscow has also provided Öcalan with political asylum. This is our most important point. Estimated. But with the attack on Turkish soil, he has to return from his hiding place to Turkish soil, and this is our chance. The best chance to catch Ocalan.”

Tenet methodically analyzes America's biggest obstacle to Turkey, as well as the story of its own Turkish ally.

Director Tenet saw that President Mario didn't seem to be listening to him, so he whispered something, Mr. President?

"En." President Mario came back to his senses and motioned Director Tenet to continue.

"Strengthen the monitoring of the activities of the PKK. In recent years, the PKK's violent activities in eastern Turkey have intensified, and the military has also criticized Demirel's suppression of domestic separatist forces. We believe that as long as Demirel is supported Rael has made great achievements in the fight against the PKK. In this way, the Turkish army that maintains Kemal’s secularization will let Demirel go. Similarly, Demirel will become the most loyal dog in NATO .”

It is an unspeakable shame for a Turkish president to be threatened by the military, but in order to maintain secularization, the Turkish army left behind by the father of the nation, Kemal Kemal, is the last resort to ensure the separation of church and state.If possible, Tenet is more inclined to control the Turkish army, because controlling their army is equivalent to controlling the country of Turkey.

President Mario waved the pen in his hand, summing up Director Tenet's suggestion, "So Director Tenet thinks that the Soviet Union will put pressure on President Demirel on the Kurdish issue and force President Demirel to abandon NATO Is there a plan for an anti-missile system?"

Director Tenet nodded, and said, "Yes, it is very possible. Through the analysis of the intelligence we have collected recently, we believe that it is the Soviet Union's movements. Besides, the Soviet Union has nothing more to do than to use the PKK to suppress the Turkish government. It is a means that can be effective in a short period of time. So Kurdish is the choice that Yanayev has to face."

Tenet predicts that the KGB has played the last trump card in the Turkey dispute, which means that if the PKK loses, the United States will declare a complete victory.

At that time, the Soviet Union's beheading operation will usher in the first setback.

Mario said calmly, "Okay, then the CIA will focus on the Kurdish Workers' Party in the short term. If the Turkish intelligence agency can arrest Ocalan, then the Soviet Union's plan against Turkey will be completely aborted." gone."

"I will arrange it, President Mario." Director Tenet nodded, and he turned and went out.Mario was left alone in the Oval Office, planning the final details.Mario only needs to grasp the overall situation, and the CIA under the jurisdiction of Tenet will naturally help him with the details.

The grand strategy determines whether Mario can stand in the most favorable position in this political contest.

As for how dirty and bloody there are in the middle political struggle, this is not an issue that President Mario needs to consider.He just needs to see the result, an established Eastern European anti-missile system, and a cage that firmly controls the red polar bear.

What he is most concerned about is how shocked and surprised Yanayev will be when the time comes.

This is the most successful counterattack by the United States against the Soviet Union over the years.

President Mario raised the corners of his lips, unable to conceal his inner joy. He couldn't wait to see the Soviet Union's losses on the Turkish issue.

But also in the Kremlin, Yanayev is also deploying Turkish chess pieces nervously and orderly. In his eyes, whether it is President Mario, Director Tenet of the CIA, or even the political think tank of the White House. It is only people with historical limitations who will not realize that Yanayev's move will fall in such a clever position.

After all, everyone will have a fixed mindset. Turkey and Russia used to be endless feuds.But in certain situations where interests aligned, Yanayev was still able to find collaborators from within, and then quietly stab Demirel in the back.

Now Yanayev, apart from waiting, has to collect the net.

Dance, President Demirel, the more cheerfully you dance, the closer you are to your own unlucky moment.

Chapter 521 Arbitration Farce (1)

Taking advantage of the public opinion propaganda of NATO countries and the momentum backed by the United States, the Demirel government resolutely proposed to the International Permanent Court of Arbitration against the Turkish Strait, including the Bosporus Strait, the Sea of ​​Marmara and Dardani. Adjudicated on maritime disputes such as the Three Divisions in the Seoul Strait.

Since going to the Soviet Union to sign the Strait Joint Trusteeship Policy the year before last, the Turkish military has become increasingly dissatisfied with the weakness of the Demirel government.They believe that this president is still the same as in the 80s, unable to handle the internal contradictions between secular and religious factions, and lacks the wisdom to mediate between major powers on foreign issues.It even almost pulled Türkiye into the abyss of war.

All in all, discontent among the Turkish military has grown along with Demirel's pro-Western government.The purchase of less mature anti-missile systems has increased the contradictions between the two parties and caused conflicts between the government and the military.

This time, President Demirel made enough momentum. He not only held a press conference to show Turkey's determination to safeguard the integrity of its sovereignty, but also said that he would fight the Soviet government to the end and would never take a step back.

"The Turkish Strait has been an inseparable part of Turkey since ancient times. With the support of our allies, we will not fear the toughness of the Soviet Union. We will fight the Soviet government to the end, never compromise, and never take a step back. In their view, this It is a key strategic location at the mouth of the Black Sea, but in our eyes, it is a sacred and indivisible complete territory. Turkey will not give up the Black Sea Strait, just as we will not give up Constantinople."

Demirel still uses the term Constantinople at the end instead of Istanbul.The purpose is to directly humiliate the Soviet Union.In their eyes, Constantinople is still in their hands, which is the biggest victory in Turkish history.

That is an everlasting pain in the hearts of you who call yourselves the people of Rome.

In fact, Demirel has another purpose, which is to increase leverage for Turkey to enter the European Union and become a staunchly anti-Soviet country in NATO.After all, besides Iraq and Egypt, he is a secular Islamic country with a heavy army.Moreover, since joining NATO in 1952, Turkey has maintained a large army in order to check and balance the Soviet Union and become the first line of defense to stop the torrent of steel.The old conspirators in Europe are also happy to see such a dog who does his duty for himself.

Facing Demirel's aggressive posture, the Soviet Union appeared extremely calm, and did not even make a protest on diplomatic occasions.However, according to Moscow's temper, the calmer it is, the more it means that the Soviet Union's next actions will become bigger and bigger.But Demirel and NATO allies are so confident that Yanayev will go after the Turkish government over the Kurds.In this regard, the Turkish government is fully prepared, waiting for Yanayev to stretch his face over, and then slap him hard.

As the date of the arbitration hearing approached, there was still no movement in the Kremlin. During this period, Yanayev only entertained Smiryev and Yazov to his office once, and only the parties knew the details. what was discussed.

"On the day of the international arbitration hearing, the Soviet Union's Black Sea Fleet was used to put pressure on the Turkish government in the Turkish Strait. We told them with this tough attitude that this is the answer from the Soviet Union." Yanayev's eyes became stern, His fingers kept tapping on the table, expressing his anger.Now he is more like an enraged Soviet bear, tearing the front enemy to pieces at any time.

Yanayev clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the mahogany desk, "We need to prove to the world that we will end up challenging the Soviet Union's bottom line. Our nuclear arsenal is enough to make Turkey no longer grow any weeds. Grass."

Smiryev was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak out. He glanced at the Minister of Defense Yazov who was standing aside from the corner of his eye, and motioned for the other party to persuade General Secretary Yanayev, who seemed to be losing his mind.

"But General Secretary Yanayev, we are not ready for a full-scale war. Once the transition is provoked, we will eventually be in a disadvantageous situation." Yazov hesitated, but still expressed his scruples.In fact, he also hopes to be proud, but the current situation does not allow the Soviet Union to have a head-to-head contest.

"Who said that?" Yanayev raised his head, and there was a layer of ambiguity in his eyes.Bet the last chip like a desperate gambler.

"We still have a hole card, Comrade Yazov. It's just that it hasn't been revealed yet. Provoking Demirel in the Turkish Strait will only accelerate and catalyze the whole process."

There is another hole card that has not been revealed?

Smiryev and Yazov's eyes lit up at the same time. No wonder Yanayev has been silent since Turkey launched the arbitration farce campaign, not even the protests that the government should have had before. It turns out that there is a bigger conspiracy is brewing.It's just that this time Yanayev even concealed the past from Yazov, it seems that it is indeed an unspeakable secret.

Reminiscent of Lubyanka's recent busy movements, Yazov believes that Yanayev's last hand card has nothing to do with the KGB.Then Yazov thought of the PKK, Lubyanka's biggest ally in Turkey.

Yanayev seemed to see through what Yazov was thinking. He shook his head and denied Yazov's thoughts, "It won't be the PKK. Turkey and the US allies are not stupid. They have been guarding against Turkey for a long time. From the beginning of the arbitration case, the Turkish army was transferred to the eastern region to implement the so-called exercise plan. In fact, it was to prevent the sudden attack launched by Öcalan. Don’t forget that they are now guerrilla forces with armored vehicles and tanks That’s right. So when the PKK rioted, Ocalan immediately suppressed it, which is equivalent to Turkey setting up a trap and waiting for the Kurds to jump in.”

"So the reinforcement of the Kurds is just a cover-up by General Secretary Yanayev?" Yazov was secretly surprised, but he didn't expect Yanayev's scheme to be so deep.

Yanayev shook his head. This was the most painstaking game he designed to get the Americans out. How could it be easily seen through by Mario? It’s just an insurance policy. The Kurds will help us at the most critical moment.”

Yanayev glanced at Smiryev, and said slowly, "So Comrade Smiryev still has any doubts about mobilizing the Black Sea Fleet of the Red Navy?"

"No more." Smiryev shook his head, his eyes became firmer, just like the previous Arabian Sea crisis and confrontation in the Pacific, he unconditionally chose to believe in General Secretary Yanayev, and he firmly believed that General Secretary Yanayev would lead them to victory.

"Very good. I hope that the two of you will not disclose any news about today's conversation, including the transfer of the Black Sea Fleet. It is a secret. We will not show our fangs and bite each other until the day of the arbitration."

"We will keep it secret, General Secretary Yanayev." Smiryev and Yazov said in unison.

After sending away the two key executors of the plan, Yanayev sat on a chair and continued to calculate the possible next situation. He had already thought of the various conditions to be negotiated with Turkey after the success of the plan, including the final Sensitive Strait issue.

"Since we can't take back Constantinople, at least we have to let your capital, Ankara, never have peace. What do you think, President Demirel!"

Yanayev leaned back on the seat and muttered to himself with his eyes closed.

Is President Demirel ready?

Because everything done before was a cover-up, the next thing is Moscow's serial killer move, and so far, both the United States and Turkey have fallen into the conspiracy carefully arranged by the Soviet Union.

Yanayev smiled proudly.

Chapter 522 Arbitration Farce (2)

The date of the Turkish arbitration is finally approaching, and all parties are focusing on the so-called Permanent Court of Arbitration for the Law of the Sea.President Demirel even declared that this international arbitration will be Turkey's unprecedented action to defend the sovereignty of the Strait, and will take decisive countermeasures against the suppression of the Soviet Union.

However, the performance of the Soviet Union still seemed calm, and it seemed that it did not take this permanent arbitration trial seriously.But the Soviet foreign service always needed to do something to make its case.After the younger Shevardnadze asked Yanayev many times, Yanayev finally agreed to meet him in the presidential office.

However, as the successor of the previous Minister of Foreign Affairs, Shevardnadze, the young Shevardnadze is still lacking in foreign policy and attitude, and after all, he cannot be as smooth as the "old fox" who took office, which is smooth but tough.When this dusty young man appeared at the door of the office, Yanayev guessed what little Shevardnadze wanted to say before he even said a word.

Yanayev made a gesture of invitation, signaling the other party to sit down before speaking.

"Sit down, Comrade Shevardnadze."
