USSR 1991

This script has made many national leaders somewhat confused.

On the other side, the United States has begun to isolate Turkey within NATO. When the refugee wave broke out before, Western Europe had endured enough of Turkey's practice of sending old, weak, sick and disabled refugees to Europe, leaving behind strong and young men.German Chancellor Kohl was the first to collude with the United States behind his back. He assured President Mario that Germany would not provide political asylum to Turkish leaders in any future problems. Thresholds and obstacles.Because of the previous friction, German Chancellor Kohl still has a grudge against Turkey.

Germany's statement made Mario very satisfied. After all, as long as there is Germany, it is enough. France's attitude has never been the most important.What's more, the United Kingdom has been busy dealing with various matters after Brexit recently, so its performance in international affairs has been mediocre.After making enough preparations, Mario quietly waited for the opportunity of the domestic turmoil in Turkey to implement his great plan.

At the same time, Maziyer has almost become the first military spokesperson since the founding of Turkey to depose the president and prime minister at the same time.After seeing the means to depose President Demirel, Prime Minister Erbakan immediately announced his resignation, banned the previous actions of the Turkish Welfare Party, and stayed quietly under the shadow of the Turkish military.

But in order to stabilize the situation, how could Mazier easily let go of the Prosperity Party, which is trying to get involved in the secular world.Soon members of the Turkish National Security Council came to the door.The only thing that the Turkish state department like the Cheka likes to do is to drag those who try to use religion to control the state power and make Turkey return to a religious state into their prisons to talk about their hearts.Inside the Turkish government, the scariest thing is not that the Turkish military is going to arrest people, but that you are going to have a heart-to-heart talk with the devils of the National Security Council.

After severely suppressing the power of the Prosperity Party, this group of guys who tried to return Turkey to Islamic teachings restrained.General Mazier began to prepare for his visit to Moscow to add a bargaining chip to his political security.

Mazier's first purpose was to conduct military trade with the Soviet Union. During the confrontation in the Black Sea, Turkey saw the gap between its own navy and the Black Sea Fleet.Moreover, Türkiye is facing the Black Sea Fleet after it has been castrated.As an ancient land power and the first pass of the Soviet fleet, it is necessary for Turkey to strengthen its military strength.

So the plan to conduct military trade with the Soviet Union was also put on the agenda.This time, Maziel completely let go of the grievances between the army and the navy, and unite together to deal with foreign enemies.

Although some consensus was reached between Mazyel and Yanayev, in fact Turkey and the Soviet Union were nothing more than a short-term alliance of interests.Yanayev is very aware of this, so when he heard that Turkey proposed a cooperation plan, he hesitated.

However, Comrade Yazov, Minister of Defense, quickly solved the problem for Yanayev.His proposal was to sell Turkey ships that would not threaten Red Navy operations.To meet the needs of allies to develop their navy without curbing the development of the Black Sea Fleet.

"The Type 61 destroyer is the best choice. For the Turkish Navy, the purchase of one or two Cassin-class ships will not affect the operations of the Black Sea Fleet. Moreover, the Red Navy's vine system is slowly getting used to combat ships. Cassin-class The future combat method can only exist as a large anti-submarine ship."

Minister of Defense Yazov explained that in fact, the Red Navy also began to realize that since they had the vine system, they no longer needed more ships to maintain conventional operations, and Smiryev began to sell old ships for new ones plan of.After all, the funding provided by the central government is also limited.

This time he aimed the fool at the Turkish Navy.It is hoped that through the generosity of the Turkish Navy, the problem of the lack of funds for the subsequent development of the Soviet fleet will be solved.

"You can try it. Isn't the Black Sea Shipyard reforming a new plan now?" Yanayev smiled slightly, "Now we are short of a few mice. I don't know if the Indian government is interested besides the Turkish Navy. Perhaps the remaining Cassin-class can be modified a little bit, and it can become a new product for sale.”

Yazov immediately smiled knowingly, "I think they will agree."

Chapter 545 Maziel's visit to the Soviet Union

This is the first visit to Moscow by Acting President Demirel of Turkey since Yanayev reiterated the friendship between the Soviet Union and Turkey.This is also the first time that Demirel personally contacted Yanayev, General Secretary of the Soviet Union.This person who occupied a key position in the coup and helped himself at the most critical moment of the Turkish army's attack on the PKK.Demirel is grateful to Yanayev.Of course, help is help, and the relationship between Turkey and the Soviet Union will not change because of the short-term interest alliance.

Yanayev received Maziyer in St. George's Hall, the most solemn diplomatic occasion, and made a joint statement on the development cooperation between Turkey and the Soviet Union.Turkey claims that in the future it will further develop economic cooperation and political exchanges with the Soviet Union, improve the political and geopolitical environment in the Black Sea region, jointly shelve disputes, rationally develop the Black Sea, and use navigation rights.

This statement by Mazier was meant for President Mario to read. He used this method to warn the other party that Turkey is now leaving the United States alone.As for the actions of the United States in the EU, Mazier will not be too worried for the time being.After all, Maziel must now clean up the mess created by Demirel before starting the negotiation mode with NATO again.

In St. George's Hall, in front of all reporters, Mazyer emphasized that Turkey and the Soviet Union are strategic cooperative allies.

"There is no doubt that the influence of the Soviet Union and Turkey among the countries bordering the Black Sea is crucial, and political stability between Turkey and the Soviet Union contributes to the long-term stability of the Black Sea. The alliance between Turkey and the Soviet Union is for the Black Sea region The stable situation will help promote the peaceful development of the region."

Mazyer glanced at Yanayev and continued to tell reporters, "And Turkey and the Soviet Union will continue to deepen military cooperation to jointly maintain stability and unity in the Black Sea region."

When asked by a reporter whether Mazier's move would be opposed by NATO allies and whether it would affect Turkey's accession to the European Union, Mazyer skillfully avoided the minefield.

"Turkey and the Soviet Union are in order to maintain the ownership of the Black Sea region, and will not affect the relationship between NATO, and there will be no so-called breakdown of EU negotiations. The relationship between the Soviet Union and Turkey is a normal trade partnership. There is no such thing as a military alliance."

Mazier answered the question with a smile, and at the same time conveyed his proposition to the EU and the United States, telling them not to use Turkey to achieve their ulterior motives, and Turkey will not be used by the Americans again this time. gun used.President Demirel is a weak and incompetent fool, but Maziel is not one of them.He knows better how to achieve his goals between NATO and the Soviet Union.

The spotlight shines on Mazyel's smiling face, and at the same time, Yanayev, who is smiling meaningfully next to him, is also included.It's not that he has much criticism of what Maziel said, but that he has some expectation of what kind of counterattack the West will launch.

Losing a Türkiye is nothing, and Mario lost at most one card in his hand.However, the offensive to pull out the political strongman in the Middle East was interrupted on the Soviet side.Now the war in Iraq is still going on, and Saddam’s regular army, which was secretly aided by the Soviet Union and China, has been broken up and turned into guerrillas, continuing to fight the war with the United States on Iraqi soil.It is estimated that the U.S. Congress is also beginning to have a headache about the budget issue, and the army is swallowing up the national finances like a bottomless pit.

"It seems that Mario's overall plan has been disrupted now. The United States is trying to intervene to control the political situation in the Middle East and get involved in world oil prices to achieve the purpose of controlling oil prices and threatening the Soviet Union. Establish an anti-missile system alliance in Eastern Europe to achieve the purpose of deterring the Soviet Union's strategic areas. President Mario failed to make these two seemingly perfect moves. As long as the Soviet Union is still alive, the American conspiracy will never succeed."

Yanayev could even think of Mario throwing something in the president's office. For Mario, who wanted to slaughter the Soviet Union, this was an unacceptable fact for him.After more than six years of struggle, the Soviet Union not only did not fall, but also disrupted every move in the political game of the United States, leaving the Mario government in a dilemma of financial difficulties.And coupled with the fact that the President of the United States personally "castrated" the CIA, it can be said that the Soviet Union has secretly overwhelmed the United States in the international political game.

The quagmire of endless wars, like the Vietnam War in the 70s and [-]s, made the US economy even worse.And President Mario's strategic mistakes again and again also led to a crisis of distrust in Congress for the cabinet organized by Mario.Once the signs of this crisis spread, it will lead to an irreversible disaster.No wonder the American media will claim that as long as President Mario does not do anything, it is a high hand to the United States.

Thinking of this, Yanayev smiled happily.This is the first time he feels that the United States is powerless. If the next president can continue Mario's policy mistakes and wrong lines, then the United States will encounter the crisis of the Reagan era.The only difference is that President Reagan was able to save the day, but President Mario insisted on going down the wrong path.

Will Trump get his wish?Even Yanayev is uncertain about the future direction of this "spy" of the Red Empire. Unless he is willing to engage in political activities, it is impossible for the KGB to support Trump in disguise.

Mario's vitality will eventually be exhausted in the past few years. As long as Yanayev maintains a repressive posture, it is unlikely that the United States will come back after he steps down and the next leader takes over. He has even thought about how the Soviet Union, which had increasingly close economic ties with East Asian countries, should avoid the Asian financial crisis in 1998.Yanayev's advantage is that he can predict how to avoid historical risks.

The only thing to worry about is the next leader of the United States. This is Yanayev's most troublesome uncontrollable factor.

The success or failure of the strategic policies of the top leadership is all the more important in a situation similar to that of the Soviet Union and the United States.This is also the reason why Yanayev has always been far-sighted and predictable. As long as he takes a wrong step and loses a bet, Moscow will lose everything.

"There are still two years before Mario's resignation, and it's time to start preparing."

Yanayev sighed, feeling that this was another long foreshadowing.

He needs to conceive a bigger conspiracy, and then execute it quietly.

5Chapter 16 New Military Purchase Objects

After a brief stay in Moscow, Maziel went to Sevas Botor Naval Base for military exchanges and inspected the Soviet Black Sea Fleet ships.And make full preparations for the replacement of Turkish ships.However, Mazier's purpose this time is to expand the Turkish navy, so military exchanges are the top priority.In addition, Mazier was also from the army, and he valued the combat capability of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet even more.Of course, Yanayev also invited Smiryev to attend this time. His meaning is very clear, isn't Turkey going to sell ships?Whether you can succeed in fooling depends on your navy's own ability.After getting Yanayev's consent, he also began to prepare to sell the remaining old ships of the Black Sea Fleet. Now that the Soviet Union wants to be the hegemon of the Black Sea, it should be more of a quality advantage rather than a quantitative advantage.

As soon as Smiryev came up, he introduced the Kassin class to General Mazyel, that is, the "Agile" and "Smart" that are still in service in the Black Sea Fleet.This kind of large anti-submarine ship that once forced the Turkish Previzer-class submarine to retreat in the Black Sea confrontation left a deep impression on Mazyer.

Fortunately, Demirel was ousted from office in 1997 and replaced by the neutral President Maziyerdai. Otherwise, Turkey should receive eight Perry-class frigates from the United States in accordance with the agreement next year.At that time, the development of Turkish naval military strength will not be controlled by the Soviet Union.

There are still Kassin-class destroyers in the Sevastopol Naval Base. The Express, which was supposed to be decommissioned in advance, is now being used as a commodity to fool the Turkish Navy. What's more, Smirev also proposed an improved model of the Kassin-class. plan.

The blowing sea breeze and mild sunshine make all this look like a leisurely summer afternoon. After Maziel's visit, the Sevastopol base did not show the usual busyness.On the contrary, it seemed as if he was deliberately avoiding Mazyel.in a relaxed state.Smiryev didn't want the Turkish side to pry into some secrets, so he unilaterally gave the base personnel a vacation.

Smiryev did not do much else, and directly brought Mazyel to the Express and the Red Caucasus. After 1994, the Black Sea Fleet almost decommissioned two ships due to financial reasons. Later, after sufficient funds, the Black Sea Fleet resumed. Let the Red Caucasus serve, but at this time the Express has become an end-of-life hero, but before he was dismembered, the Express encountered the Turkish Navy.

For the visit of the Turkish delegation, Smiryev, of course, showed his kindness. He introduced the behemoth in front of Maziyer, and boarded the deck of the Kassin class with Mazyyer, showing him The strength of this ship.

"Styx ship-to-ship missiles, Goa ship-to-air missiles, 76mm naval guns, 5-barreled torpedoes, plus deep-submarine bombs. The Cassin class can also execute anti-ship, air defense, and anti-submarine combat plans. And the card The Sim class is being modernized, we have replaced the aft gun with 406mm torpedo tubes and rear variable depth sonar, and replaced the 25mm torpedo tubes with SS-N-533 missiles."

The gimmick of Smirev's modernization and modification is to enhance the competitiveness of this Cassin-class, but in the eyes of Mazyel, the Cassin-class is still not perfect.The antiquated electronics it used were not up to the standard that the Turkish army wanted in Mazyel's eyes.Smiryev was not an Indian who was deceived by a few words, so he tactfully asked to visit other ships.

"I want to see the poisonous spider-class missile boat designed by the Soviet Union. Turkey is very interested in this kind of fast boat."

Maziel also has his own plans. Although the tonnage of the poisonous spider missile boat is not large, the installation density of its on-board electronic equipment is high, and the on-board weapons are powerful.It embodies the fine tradition of Russian ship design, that is, to maximize the ship's fire strike capability.The combat missions that Russia's newly designed poisonous spider missile boats can perform have also expanded from the early main attack on surface ships to maritime patrols, fishing protection, escort, blockade of enemy ports and attacks on enemy nearshore targets, etc., so that It can be used completely as a light frigate.The poisonous spider class is Russia's most important export-oriented missile boat. Poland, Bulgaria, Vietnam, Yemen, and Romania are all customers of the poisonous spider.Among them, India is the largest user country and has introduced corresponding production lines.

Compared with the Cassin-class destroyer whose deterrence value is greater than its actual use, Maziel believes that the Turkish Navy needs this small, dense offensive fast boat more.And he can also perform multiple tasks. From this point of view, the Turkish Navy's purchase of poisonous spiders is far better than the purchase of Kassin-class destroyers.

Hearing this news, Smiryev was somewhat disappointed. He was eagerly looking forward to selling the Kassin class that had been dropped in his hands.

"If the poisonous spider-class missile boats are available, the Turkish side will order three to five ships. Of course, Turkey will also accept all the second-hand ships. I wonder what General Smiryev thinks?" Mazyel asked. He was like a shrewd businessman, and Smiryev couldn't get any cheap in front of him.

"Okay, then let's go and see the poisonous spider-class missile boat." Smirev said with a smile after cheering up.Instead of getting nothing, it is better to sell those poisonous spiders in service at a discount, and make room for the formation of the newly designed poisonous spider missile boats at the Black Sea Shipyard.

In the end, this little guy with a tonnage of only 500 defeated the Kassin class with a tonnage of 4500 and became the first choice of the Turkish Navy.Perhaps because of reciprocation, Mazyer ordered 3 brand new poisonous spider missile boats and 2 old-type ships of the Black Sea Fleet in one go, and they became the patrol, escort, and auxiliary offensive tools of the Turkish Navy.Even so, Smiryev was still a little brooding. He even complained to Minister of Defense Yazov on the phone, thinking that Mazyel should buy the Kassin class.

But that was just Smiryev's idea, and this result was already expected by Yanayev.For the Turkish Navy, the largest destroyer ever was also the Kielin-class destroyer.What's more, it was sunk by its own air force in the battle of Cyprus between Turkey and Greece.Even if Maziyer wants to vigorously develop the Turkish navy, he has to adopt a compromise because of the deep conflict between the air force and the navy.Otherwise, the Turkish Air Force should shout again to buy new fighter jets.

Yanayev told Minister of Defense Yazov, "Smiryev is a naval officer after all, and his considerations are still a little lacking. He thought that after Turkey suffered losses in the Black Sea and the Turkish Strait was a strategic location, it should It will vigorously develop large ships, and may even engage in a maritime arms race with the Soviet Union. But unexpectedly, because of internal conflicts in the Turkish army, Maziyer only purchased small ships."

When a fierce conflict broke out between Turkey and Greece in order to compete for Cyprus in 1974, the Turkish Air Force discovered a destroyer fleet suspected of being the "Greek Navy" off the coast of Cyprus in July.Turkey immediately dispatched F-7 and F-100 fighter jets to take off with bombs.The combat efficiency of the Turkish Air Force is indeed not low. A total of 104 destroyers of the Turkish Navy were sunk and damaged: the Kokadpei, the Aydadepei, and the Marshal Fifcichakmark.The Turkish Navy first filed a complaint with the Ministry of Defense: All the Turkish Air Force sunk in this brilliant battle was the property of the Turkish Navy. A total of 3 naval soldiers were killed, accounting for a quarter of the total number of Turkish military casualties in this war. one!

However, the Turkish Navy is not a vegetarian. It used anti-aircraft missiles to shoot down an F-104 fighter jet of the Turkish Air Force.This arms purchase alone can reflect the blood feud between the Turkish navy and the army. Even a hardliner like Mazyel is cautious when coordinating the conflicts between the two armies.

"Why don't we recommend Turkish fighter jets again? This time Maziyer purchased the poisonous spider-class missile boats. Why don't we let Turkey purchase our fighter jets again?" Minister of Defense Yazov said half-jokingly.
