In fact, the conspiracy behind it is similar.Only more than 20 years later, the United States adopted the same method in order to deploy THAAD to contain the rise of the eastern powers.

However, Mario had some expectations in his heart, what kind of means Yanayev was hiding and did not reveal it.

Chapter 524 Arbitration Farce (4)

Very unexpectedly, at the moment when the arbitration result was announced, the representative of the Soviet Foreign Ministry just appeared outside the arbitration tribunal. When the car stopped in front of the media, the flying Soviet flag made all the media focus on the Soviet Union. Young representative, Yesrov.

It is not unreasonable for Minister Shevardnadze to choose diplomat Yesrov as the spokesperson of the Soviet Union. First, it is to change other people's rigid and rigorous image of the Soviet Union. Diplomats, well suited to such occasions, gave the Turkish representatives a slap in the face.

When the figure of the Soviet diplomat finally appeared at the gate of the arbitration tribunal, the reporters who were waiting for the result immediately squeezed up. They wanted to know why the Soviet Union chose to appear outside the arbitration court at this sensitive time.The Soviet diplomat standing on the steps turned around, faced the spotlight, and expressed his opinion on the arbitration result.

"On the issue of the Turkish Straits, we once signed an agreement in black and white with President Demirel to jointly manage the Turkish Straits. But now, under the instigation of other countries, they neither consult the Soviet Union nor pass legitimate Instead, rely on a so-called arbitral tribunal that has no basis. I would like to ask, when Turkey applied for an award to this arbitral tribunal that pays and solves your problem for you, has it considered our feelings? The answer is no Yes, they hope that this matter can be resolved through a unilateral ruling, but we absolutely do not allow the Soviet Union to accept such a shameful, dirty decision."

When Yesrov finished speaking, the Turkish representative was walking down the door of the arbitral tribunal with a full face.When he saw the representative of the Soviet Union, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then handed over the arbitration result in his hand to Yesrov, and declared Turkey's victory to the reporter brazenly.

"We won this international arbitration, but you lost in a mess. Did you come here now to witness your failure?"

"Oh? Really? So what?" Yesrov sneered and took the judgment in the hands of the Turkish representative, turned around to face all the reporters, and held up the not-so-thick judgment The result was determined, and he said to the surrounding reporters, "The Soviet Union responded to this result in this way."

Then Yesrov tore the so-called verdict into pieces in front of everyone.With reporters and Turkish representatives stunned, he raised his hand and threw all the debris upward.Torn pieces of paper fell like snowflakes on the steps and on the suit of the Turkish representative.

"For us, the so-called ruling is nothing more than a piece of dispensable waste paper. If Turkey wants to cause troubles and conflicts in the Strait, it has to rely on its own military strength to fight for it."

At the end, Yesrov also mocked the Turkish representative by the way, "Oh, by the way, when it comes to the Turkish army, you have to talk about the navy that your army can't support. I once fought against the second-rate Tsarist Russia in Europe, and was defeated in a battle. There was no way to fight back. The Greek Navy used an armored cruiser to overturn three former dreadnoughts, and was overturned twice in a row. It was once blocked by the most unpopular submarine force in the UK with four submarines Do I need to continue talking about the glorious deeds of the Marmara Sea transportation line in the entire Turkish Strait?"

The Turkish representative turned pale from Yesrov's anger, but couldn't find any excuse to refute, so he had to leave here bitterly. Before leaving, he gave Yesrov a fierce look in his eyes and signaled him to wait and see.At this time, the reporters from all walks of life focused their spotlight on the desolate back of the Turkish representative leaving, thinking that this would be tomorrow's headline news again.

After Yesrov appeared at the gate of the arbitration tribunal, the Soviet Foreign Ministry immediately issued a statement. Foreign Minister Shevardnadze stood in front of reporters and described the Soviet Union's trusteeship statement for the Turkish Strait in black and white letters.Moreover, Turkey does not belong to the territory occupied by the Soviet Union, so the so-called arbitration this time is completely a farce, and Turkey is trying to provoke a farce of disputes between the two countries.

"Minister Shevardnadze, the Turkish side believes that what you are doing is infringing on their sovereignty. May I ask whether the Soviet Union really violated Turkey's sovereignty?"

"Minister Shevardnadze, in the face of such an arbitration result, what will the high-level officials in Moscow say? Deterrence by force? Or conflict?"

"Minister Shevardnadze..."

The reporter's questions became sharper and sharper, but none of these questions troubled Shevardnadze.As long as it is unilaterally illegal to insist on Turkish arbitration, Shevardnadze can fight back against them in a hurry.

"Turkey unilaterally believes that this is the Soviet Union's violation of their sovereignty. It can only be said that their persecution paranoia has reached an astonishing level. First of all, the joint trusteeship policy of the Straits is a treaty signed by both parties on a voluntary basis, and there is no so-called occupation. Territory, and the Soviet Union only set up observation posts near the coast of the Turkish Strait, and there is no heavily guarded by Turkey, these are complete nonsense."

"In the face of such an arbitration result, Moscow expresses deep regret. Of course, a court that can help you carry out arbitration by paying money, a department that claims to be an international organization but does not seem to have any enforcement powers, we don't know why Turkey chose this Organizations with almost zero execution efficiency come to arbitrate for themselves. I believe that the top Turkish officials are not fools, but besides fools, I think there is another possibility. The so-called arbitration is just an illusion, and the real conspiracy has not yet surfaced. Even if everyone If you want to make a big news, you can wait a little longer. Western reporters don’t have to run too fast.”

"As for the conspiracy against the Soviet Union, only the mastermind behind the scenes will know."

Shevardnadze exposed the conspiracy of the United States and Turkey against the Soviet Union very implicitly. When the reporters wanted to delve deeper, he immediately chose to shut up, leaving room for the imagination of these reporters.But at least in tomorrow's report, international public opinion may show a 180-degree reversal.

Shevardnadze stepped off the podium. Instead of returning to the office, he just stood quietly in the corridor, imagining what would happen next.Not only him, Comrade Yazov and Smiryev also smoked quietly this night, thinking about what strategy Yanayev would adopt to break the enemy's blockade.

Only the KGB and the CIA are still busy, but their busy directions are completely different.The CIA has been watching every move of the PKK, and has already laid traps, waiting for them to act.The KGB, on the other hand, set its sights on the Turkish government and hurriedly started a game of chess.

Tenet swears that he has seen through Yanayev's methods, but he did not expect that he has been led by the nose by the enemy.As the implementer of the scheme, Yanayev is like the initiator hiding behind the scenes, enjoying a wonderful puppet show.Whether it is Turkey or the Americans, they are all being played around in his hands.

"It was only the last two steps, and the patience of Turkey was almost exhausted. Once the Black Sea Fleet approached the Turkish waters, it was the rhythm of the fuse being lit. Next, Demirel chose to let the American ships enter Marma The sea area is the beginning of a complete outbreak of conflict. The military does not want to see a Turkey controlled by others, and under the instigation of internal chess pieces, it is only reasonable that Demirel is broken. When the time comes, the Kurds Going back and launching a rebellion in the Northeast, the whole of Turkey will be overwhelmed."

The red threads entangled by the target finally converged on Demirel, who was actually the most critical role in the whole incident.And he unknowingly acted as the catalyst for the worsening of the incident.

"The tumult in Türkiye is finally coming to an end."

Yanayev put down his pen and let out a long sigh of relief. So far, his great layout has been completed.Now it is waiting for Turkey to follow the steps designed by itself and step by step into the irreversible abyss.

And then it's all over.

Chapter 525 Black Sea Fleet

The movement of the Soviet Red Navy seems to be more frequent than before. The Black Sea Fleet finally showed its fangs after being silent for many years since 1991.The Black Sea Fleet, which eliminated some old small second-generation Soviet ships and added a Kirov-class cruiser and a Glory-class cruiser, undoubtedly crushed all the Black Sea countries in terms of strength.It's even easier to beat the Turkish navy.

The current Soviet Black Sea Fleet has two Glory-class cruisers and one Kirov cruiser Dzerzhinsky. The deterrent capabilities formed can already crush Turkey, which is unequal in strength.Not only that, this actual combat exercise also dispatched large-scale anti-submarine ships such as the "Kechi".It is to use these steel behemoths to form a strong impact on Turkey, and to create the idea that the Soviet Black Sea Fleet is invincible.

Of course, the Soviet Black Sea Fleet is just like the meaning they give themselves. No Black Sea country has such a terrible fleet. Once the gears of the war machine start, the Soviet Union can break through the Turkish strait blockade without any pressure, reach the Mediterranean area, and turn the red The flags of Europe are planted all over.

Departing from the port of Sebas Botor, the huge fleet of warships is like a group of migrating whales, rolling over mountains and seas all the way.Wherever it passes, the naval bases along the coast of the Black Sea countries will be alerted.They sent one or two reconnaissance ships to follow far behind the fleet, vigilantly monitoring the movement of this behemoth.It wasn't until the fleet left their own sea area that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.It seems that the main target of this fleet is Turkey. All the countries along the Black Sea stretched their necks, wanting to see what will happen to Turkey next.

The Black Sea Fleet finally approached the Turkish waters.

The Turkish Navy immediately sent warships to monitor, because the Soviet Black Sea Fleet did not enter Turkish waters, so they did not dare to provoke the Soviet fleet on the high seas.After all, they brought two Glory-class cruisers and one Dreadnought-class formation. The missiles on the cruisers can destroy any naval base in Turkey, and even make its navy lose its ability to fight back before the Turkish navy recovers. .

The impact brought by the Black Sea Fleet is shocking. They are like facing the demons hidden in the abyss. Just a pair of scarlet eyes turning towards them will bring endless fear and trembling to people, as if they have returned to the past with The shame and fear of the Tsarist Russian Navy in combat.What's more, the Tsarist Russian navy back then was only second-rate in strength.

"Such a fleet is really terrifying." The Turkish navy monitoring the Black Sea Fleet held on to the railing, watching the Kirov-class behemoth slowly passing by.The Turkish Navy can even use binoculars to clearly see the large anti-ship missiles, anti-aircraft missiles and torpedoes on the cruiser that are ready to launch.They are like a naval arsenal armed to the teeth. The Soviet Red Navy, which inherited the legacy of the Tsarist Russian Navy, vowed to swallow the entire Black Sea, and no one dared to stop it.

There was cold sweat on the sailors' foreheads. Before the war officially started, they were frightened by the Soviet Union's formation.This is not counting the strategic nuclear submarines and offensive submarines that may be hidden in the water.Turkey does not know how many cards the Soviet Red Navy has.

A group of red ghosts wandering in the Black Sea, the Soviet Red Navy that once made the whole world tremble, and the Black Sea Fleet have proved with their own strength what is called the sacred and inviolable territory.

Turkey found that the Soviet Union's mere cards on the table had already overwhelmed their navy.Faced with this situation, the navy can only be vigilant and monitor, because once the war starts, Turkey has no possibility of winning except to pad the last ship.Unless the outside world is willing to intervene in this dispute.

At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world had abandoned Turkey in the abyss, facing the red behemoth alone.

Of course, it is even more unfortunate for the President of Turkey, who will face a powerful naval fleet, as well as the equally powerful red polar bear.

When Demirel received the news, he was enjoying a celebratory dinner celebrating Turkey's diplomatic victory.And Turkey, which has a tradition of fearing Russia and anti-Soviet since ancient times, also raised its eyebrows once, haha, I didn't expect you to have today.

President Demirel stood up with a red face. He held up his glass and said to the guests around him, "This is a decisive victory for Turkey. We have defeated an enemy that we thought was invincible. It has been washed away for nearly 20 years. Shame over the years. It is no exaggeration to say that Yanayev did not bring the Soviet Union out of the woods, but led it into the abyss. Soon, they will decline and become a second-rate European country, and Turkey will eventually Will rise to fulfill Kemal's will and restore the glory of the Ottoman era."

Demirel enjoys the praise and praise of everyone, as if he has become a great leader second only to the father of Turkey.He believed that the weakness of the Soviet Union was the beginning of the country's decline. In fact, he had a bigger ambition, which was to become the most powerful naval country along the Black Sea coast.

At this time, the assistant to the president broke into the banquet suddenly, and walked towards Demirel with an ugly expression. The assistant walked to his side, leaned over and said in a low voice, "The Soviet Black Sea Fleet has assembled not far from the Turkish waters. And they almost dispatched the main force of the Black Sea Fleet, and what's even more regrettable is that we can't detect the movement of Soviet attack submarines now. So now the military needs the Turkish President to give an explanation."

When the Assistant to the President told the sad news, Demirel's face immediately turned ugly and pale. He stood up and whispered excuse me, and then walked out the door.The guests with puzzled faces were left behind, a little unintelligible.

The actions of the Soviet Union have caused panic in Demirel.He is now trying to negotiate urgently with the United States, hoping that the other party can enter the aircraft carrier battle group into the Malamar Sea to prevent the sudden attack of the Soviet fleet.Maintain strategic balance in the Malamar waters of Türkiye.Just like the introduction of international intervention in disputes back then.

As for Demirel, facing the Soviet Union's Black Sea Fleet, Demirel, who was still complacent before, had no power to parry.Like a poor lamb at the slaughter.And before he also reprimanded the Turkish navy commander Gelal who wanted to take the initiative to attack, thinking that the Turkish navy had no power to fight back in front of the Soviet fleet, and he had to rely on the navies of other major countries to keep the navy.

Now, it's time for him to negotiate peacefully with the military.

Chapter 526 Intense interests

President Demirel did not seek emergency consultations with the military at the first moment of the incident, but sought help from NATO and US allies, hoping that they could intervene in this dispute and mediate the contradictions and conflicts between Turkey and the Soviet Union.President Demirel believes that as long as the United States is behind it, Turkey will not care about the Soviet Union's warnings.

They only need to maintain Turkey's territory within the Black Sea, and then wait for the American Navy to rescue themselves.Demirel never counted on the Turkish navy from the very beginning. Anyway, he thought that instead of fighting with the Black Sea Fleet with that little wealth, he might as well wait for the king to rescue him.However, the current situation in Turkey is to look left and right and wait for Wang Shi, but Wang Shi just doesn't go ashore.It is said that the aircraft carrier battle group of the Pacific Fleet is wandering in the Mediterranean area, but there is no move to move to Turkey.At this time, Tenet is slowly waiting for Turkey to allow the US fleet to enter the waters of the strait.

The plan proposed by Director Tenet was even more vicious. After reaching the target area, the US Navy fleet quickly controlled the key ports in the Turkish Strait, and then parked the entire fleet in Turkish waters.Next, it forced the Turkish government to sign an unbalanced treaty with itself to serve the interests of the United States in the Far East, allowing the United States to establish a naval base in Turkey to deal with the threat of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet.

Originally, Director Tenet's arrangement had no flaws, but it was denied by President Mario.The reason is that this plan is too risky and not suitable for Turkey, which has just persuaded to build an anti-missile system.What's more, the establishment of a U.S. naval base in the Turkish Strait, even if the sovereignty dispute is left aside, funding is still a major problem.Congress has grown increasingly dissatisfied with the voracious appetite for U.S. naval buildup.They believe that the U.S. Navy is emptying the wallet of Congress in disguise.Director Tenet only considered the superiority of the strategy, but he did not expect that the United States is now at the end of its bow and no longer has the ability to stretch its hands longer.

Moreover, the dispatch of the aircraft carrier battle group this time is also the result of Mario's persuasion to the Minister of Defense. The Ministry of Defense believes that it is an unwise choice to launch a "maritime arms race plan" with the Soviet Union during this period, so they will do everything possible to block President Mario's transfer. plan.So Director Tenet's plan to blackmail Turkey was naturally denied.

Then one of the things that the US aircraft carrier may do next is to enter the Turkish Strait and have a one-on-one confrontation with the Soviet Black Sea Fleet.
