USSR 1991

Soon they will reach the combat area, deterring the actions of the Turkish Navy and even the US fleet.There was no fear in the eyes of these young pilots.Before going on this mission, they kissed their children, their wives, goodbye.Hugged his father and mother.They just told each other that this was just an ordinary task, but concealed the danger that they might have a brush with death.

But they didn't hesitate, and resolutely walked to the cockpit.In a country's most critical moment, there will always be someone who will stand up and stand in the most dangerous position, and will always stand there without retreating a step.Whether it's the panzer forces of the Nazis, or the war air raids of NATO, they will not back down.

Not only for our great motherland, but also for our own family.

"Here is the Figure 22 bomber formation, ordered to cover the Black Sea Fleet exercise training."

"This is the formation of Su-34 bombers, ordered to cover the exercise and training of the Black Sea Fleet."

On this day, a red warning resounded over the Black Sea waters. Not only the Turkish Navy, but the entire Black Sea country will once again feel the strength and fear from the Red Empire.Like a monarch overlooking all living beings, with indifferent eyes passing by the poor subjects under his feet.They are like Eastern Europe facing the mighty army of the Soviet Union, trembling and defeated.

Here we come, where is the opponent?

Perhaps the worst move Washington made was to keep the carrier battle group in the narrow Marmara Sea, leaving Captain Hendlisk facing a dilemma.President Mario is just a politician, accustomed to the game thinking of politicians to add chips on the chessboard and force Moscow to make concessions.But what soldiers pay attention to in war is efficiency, how to destroy all the vital forces of the enemy in the shortest time.Make it impossible for the opponent to attempt to fight back.

Taking a step back, once the Soviet Union prepares for a doomsday war, the elegant backfire bomber formation will definitely cross the Turkish air defense network and deal a devastating blow to the aircraft carrier fleet in the Marmara Sea.

With the din of fighter jet engines in the sky and the dense dots on the radar screen, the Soviet bomber fleet from the Sevastopol base has shocked the governments of Bulgaria and Romania.The heads of state of the two countries held separate emergency meetings.

The Bulgarian president had previously traded interests with the Soviet Union, so although he was angry at the behavior of the Soviet bomber formation flying over the Black Sea Fleet, his tone was restrained after all. Zhelev came from the Democratic Forces Party, so in the face of the Soviet Union's tough measures, Stoyanov's protest appeared cautious and humble.At the press conference, he told reporters, "I hope that all parties on the Black Sea issue can exercise restraint and urge Turkey and the Soviet Union to return to the negotiating table to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Provoking a confrontation in the Black Sea area cannot effectively resolve the problems brought about All kinds of questions."

On the other hand, Romanian President Constantinescu resolutely stood on the side of NATO, strongly protesting and condemning the Soviet Union's behavior of intensifying the conflict in the Black Sea.At the press conference, President Constantinescu's speech was tragic and gracious.

"Romania needs protection now, and our homeland is facing a serious threat from the Soviet Union. This threat not only endangers sovereignty, but also threatens human civilization. Therefore, I call on NATO countries to devote more energy to the Black Sea."

This time, Constantinescu did not have the performance of both ends of the first mouse. When talking with President Mario, he was more urgent and even threatened, "We don't want to wake up the next day with Soviet tanks on the street. , if the United States or NATO cannot protect the interests of Eastern European countries, then we will negotiate with the Soviet Union on our own to determine the future of Romania."

Constantinescu means that if you are unwilling to help Eastern European countries facing the threat of the Soviet Union, then Eastern European countries may change their positions and become protectors of the Iron Curtain again.

So Mario's current situation has become very embarrassing, and he does not want the United States to intervene in Black Sea affairs.But the situation had to force him to protest what the Soviet army was doing.In other words, the United States has gone too far, and the situation is threatening to get involved in this dispute.

"That old fox Yanayev actually used this method to lure us into the bait." Mario said upset.He just wanted to put diplomatic pressure on the Soviet Union, but he didn't expect that he would be put under diplomatic pressure by the other side instead.President Mario now faces two choices.

One is to take a soft attitude, withdraw the embarrassing aircraft carrier battle group, and actively promote the three-party talks to solve these problems at the negotiating table.The second is to adopt a head-to-head attitude. The aircraft carrier directly crossed the strait to threaten the Soviet Black Sea Fleet.But the bomber formation of the Soviet Air Force is staring at itself. In other words, no matter which ending it is, it is not in the interests of the US government.

"The situation is out of control." President Mario scratched his head. What he needs now is to understand where the Soviet Union's next move will fall.At least now the prelude to laying an anti-missile system in Eastern Europe has been completed.The U.S. government needs a decent step back to convince Eastern European countries that the U.S. has the ability to help them contain the Soviet Union's strategic expansion.

However, the incident was far from going in the direction he thought. When President Mario was in a dilemma, Yanayev finally played his last trump card.

A hole card to completely end this farce.

Chapter 532 The Turkish Coup

General Mazier's patience was finally exhausted by the incident with the US aircraft carrier.When the Stannisk aircraft carrier battle group stayed in the Marmara Sea, the Turkish military's last hopes for President Demirel were exhausted.And General Mazier issued the final order to overthrow the Turkish government and order the other side to step down.

Then Yanayev also waited for the final answer from the Turkish military in the Kremlin.When he picked up the phone and the other party reported his name, Yanayev breathed a sigh of relief.It seems that everything will end at this moment.

Yanayev sat on the sofa, quietly listening to the other party's speech.At this time beside him were Comrade Kryuchkov, the First Chairman of the KGB, Comrade Vladimir, and Minister of Defense Yazov.They are all waiting for the final answer from the Turkish military. This is not a simple coup, but a subversive operation under the cooperation of the Turkish military and the Moscow government of the Soviet Union.

The purpose is to prevent Demirel from playing with fire and to ease external tensions.And this is also Yanayev's last hole card to solve the Turkish problem.The Soviet Union did everything possible to create disputes over the Eastern Kurdistan Workers' Party issue, attracting the attention of the Turkish government and the United States, but in fact it was quietly operating the dark game of the Turkish army.It has only now been brought to light.

Presumably President Mario's face will become very ugly tomorrow.

"Turkey has two demands. First, after we overthrow the Demirel regime, the Black Sea Fleet and your bomber fleet will immediately withdraw from the Black Sea area. We will also declare the arbitration invalid. With the help of the Workers' Party, we will also declare the treaty on the deployment of the US anti-missile system in Turkey null and void."

The two points raised by General Mazyer are very much in the interests of the Soviet Union, and Yanayev nodded in agreement with General Mazyer's request.However, he still properly reminded the other party, "Oh, yes, there is one more thing, that is, the Soviet Union has cut off the aid to the PKK. But we cannot control Ocalan's movements. In other words, the current The PKK is beyond our control."

"I know that." General Maziel replied calmly.Everyone knows such things as political transactions, and he will not specifically expose these things.

"I wish you success, General Mazyel," Yanayev said.

The phone was hung up immediately, and Yanayev knew that Ankara was now facing a bloodbath.He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled the depression accumulated in his chest for more than two weeks, and said to the people around him, "The last move has been completed, and now it depends on the performance of the Turkish military."

The frowns of the people around were relaxed, and they all clapped their hands in celebration.Yanayev leaned on the sofa, recalling every step of this operation, it was extremely thrilling.

"Oh, by the way, Comrade Kryuchkov." Yanayev turned his head, not forgetting to add the last knife to the Turkish government, "Let KGB and Öcalan-linked agents rule the PKK, and the Turkish government is about to There's civil unrest and they can put on a big show."

At one o'clock in the morning, the peaceful streets of Turkey were broken by a riot. The people were horrified to see a neat row of M60 tanks appearing on the quiet street, and their turrets were aimed at the direction of the presidential palace without exception.The Turkish army quietly and quickly took control of the streets around Ankara. Soldiers with live ammunition set up checkpoints at the intersection and blocked the streets leading to the Turkish Presidential Palace.

General Maziel's coup was swift and determined to take down the uncontrolled President Demirel.Because of the cooperation with the United States, he will be more unstable and difficult to control than in 1980.Demirel must be removed from the presidency when it is not in the interests of the Turkish military.

When the tanks advanced near the presidential palace, there was a small-scale exchange of fire with the guards of the presidential palace.The presidential guard tried to stop these steel behemoths of 105mm rifled guns with submachine guns and automatic rifles.But in front of more than a dozen tanks carrying 12.7-caliber machine guns, these resistances seemed a bit overwhelming.

The M60 tank turned its turret and aimed at the gate of the presidential palace. When the advice was ineffective, they decided to use the most resolute means of force to blow open the gate of the presidential palace.

A round of armor-piercing projectiles sprayed out from the barrel and directly hit the brightly lit presidential palace building.The strong explosion and the flames illuminated the dark sky, and the entire presidential palace shook, and the powerful impact directly rushed out the guards guarding the gate.

At the same time, the huge explosion also woke up President Demirel who was sleeping on the big bed.

"what happened?"

Demirel got up sleepily from the big bed, before he turned on the bedside lamp.The presidential guards hurried in with rifles in hand, and said to Demirel, "Your Excellency, it's not good. The troops have launched a coup. They are preparing to attack the presidential palace."

"What?" Demirel lost all sleepiness immediately. He quickly put on his slippers and got out of bed to escape.Demirel quietly leaned his head to the window, just in time to see the army downstairs is heavily surrounding the presidential palace. At least a dozen M60 tanks appeared in Demirel's field of vision. In contrast, the guards of the presidential palace People are no match for coup soldiers at all.

The outermost soldiers had surrendered, and the coup army quickly broke into the presidential palace, controlling the situation with almost no bloodshed.Only a few guards loyal to the president remained around Demirel and continued to resist.But in the face of settlement, their resistance seems more like a mayfly shaking a tree.

When the gunshots outside the door stopped, Demirel closed his eyes in despair, knowing that it would all be over.There was no sign of this coup at all. To this day, he still thinks that the military and himself are allies.

With a wave of his hand, Demirel told his guards to drop their guns and surrender to the army.But before the guards had stepped out of the gate, several heavily armed soldiers rushed in and took control of the president's bedroom.The guard next to Demirel raised his hand to signal him not to shoot.

Next, the figure of General Maziel appeared at the door of the president's bedroom. He glanced at the pale-faced President Demirel and said unhurriedly, "Hello, President Demirel. I didn't expect us to We will meet on such an occasion."

Chapter 533 Forced the palace to give way

"What a wonderful operation, General Mazyel. First pretending to cooperate with the Turkish government, implying that it is actually Prime Minister Erbakan who wants to abolish and overthrow. But in fact, he and I are the targets in your eyes, Isn't it? I'm a little curious, General Maziel, what kind of means will you use to overthrow Prime Minister Erbakan, like tonight's coup? No bloodshed, it's wonderful. It's much cleaner than the coup in 1980 .Even I have to admire your thoughtfulness and decisiveness."

Demirel raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It is now 45:[-] in the morning, which means that this swift coup took less than two hours. The army has already controlled the entire situation in Ankara.Demirel hadn't even had time to react and deploy.

"Then it's time to prepare a statement on TV? President Demirel has to announce his resignation from the presidency because of his weakness and incompetence. General Maziel will lead the situation next. I'm just curious, even if you are stable Regarding the domestic situation, what solution do you have to deal with the Black Sea crisis? Don’t tell me, the military will only negotiate with the Americans in a low voice, but there is no other solution?”

Demirel's gaze was fixed on Maziel's stern face like an ice sculpture, but the other party showed no expression.He didn't even bother to argue with Demirel, but Maziel was also ready to make a statement on Ankara TV, so he still had time to chat with Demirel.

He pulled a stool and sat down in front of Demirel. General Maziel asked him, "Does President Demirel know who caused the current situation in Turkey? you!"

Demirel stood up abruptly, and the guns of the soldiers around him subconsciously lifted up, aiming at Demirel's head.He pointed at General Mazier and roared angrily, "But you'd better forget one thing, I am working hard to fight for the ownership of the Turkish Strait. If it is not for the incompetence of the Turkish army, do we need to negotiate with the United States in a low voice? ? Do we need to be helpless when facing Soviet pressure? All because of your incompetence!"

"Pay attention to your wording, President Demirel, the army did not make any mistakes. They are completely following orders faithfully, but it is you." General Maziel's gaze became very gloomy, and he leaned back with his legs crossed Leaning on a chair, he said, "Who caused the political turmoil in Turkey because of his weak ruling style? Who brought religious fanatics like Erbakan to power and threatened the development of secularization in Turkey? And who introduced it to the United States? After the anti-missile system, an attempt to provoke an incident with the Soviet Union? It's all about you, President Demirel."

General Maziel took a deep breath and said slowly, "The military hopes to give you a decent way to leave Turkish politics, so President Demirel, you know how to do it."

General Maziel took a piece of paper from his pocket and threw it in front of Demirel.Trembling, Demirel picked up the piece of paper, on which was the content of the resignation letter.He didn't expect the military to be so considerate enough to draft the content of the resignation letter for him.

"It's really a style of killing everything, General Maziel." Demirel smiled bitterly, "I hope you don't regret the choice you made now. I am the one who fights to the last moment for the future of Turkey."

"Me too, it's just that we chose different paths." Maziel stood up, stood in front of Demirel, and said to him, "Then let me tell you what will happen next, Demirel President Seoul. From the moment you announce your resignation, the Black Sea Fleet and bomber formations will withdraw from the Black Sea, and the movement of the PKK in the east will gradually stabilize. Coincidentally, the military also made a deal. It’s just not with Americans, but what you consider Turkey's enemy, the Soviet Union."

"Traitor!" Demirel said through gritted teeth, "You traitor from Turkey."
