"Well, this is a win-win situation. You have retained the position of Minister of Defense. We have sold the S300 air defense missile. Everyone is happy." Yazov nodded, appreciating Sokazaporos' cooperation. .Think about other countries relying on bribes to complete orders when selling arms, only the Soviet Union relied on scandals to win orders every time.

And threats are far more effective than bribes.

"But you must destroy all the evidence!" Casozaporos said angrily. He didn't want to step down because of the bribery scandal after serving as the Minister of Defense for four months.

Yazov took the document, tore all the material to shreds in front of Sokazaporos, and put it aside.He raised his head and said to Sokazaporos, "Is it enough now? There will be more arms sales deals between the Soviet Union and Greece. I don't want the relationship between the two countries to become unhappy because of this trivial matter. "

Soka Zaporos smiled reluctantly. He had a hunch that the arms sale of S300 missiles was just the beginning, and the next thing was the nightmare of arms sales to Greece.

However, as a representative of Greek arms sales, the handle in his hands has always been held in the hands of the Soviet Minister of Defense.

This is simply an unbelievable nightmare.

Chapter 553 A Knife in the Back

Just after Yazov and Sokazaporos completed the deal for the first S300 anti-aircraft missile system, the Cypriot government headed by Clerides tore up the ceasefire with the completion of the Turkish Alati 1974 offensive in 2 Agreement, brazenly launched a civil war.This time Clerides is fully prepared, determined to recover the lost Morfu and Lefka, defeat the northern regime, recover 30.00% of Cyprus's lost land, and unify the entire country.

Just one hour after Clerides launched the offensive, the Staniske aircraft carrier battle group entrenched in the Aegean Sea began to move towards Cyprus. This time they were trying to prevent the Turkish fleet from attacking Cyprus, and at the same time warned them in this way Maziel, Cyprus is no longer your territory.

The sound of gunfire woke up the sleeping residents. They watched the rockets shuttle through the dark sky, illuminating the night like meteors, and then smashed hard on the top floors of the residential buildings.The explosion of flames produced a dazzling blinding light, and the burning flames engulfed the masses who had not had time to evacuate from the apartment.There were only pairs of panicked eyes looking helplessly at what happened outside the window, not knowing where to flee.

In 1974, those poor Greeks also spent such panic nights in fear, but this time it was finally the turn of the Turkish muslins to taste the taste of being suppressed and driven away.The shame of the Greeks being exiled by the Turkish army at the beginning, the tragic and senseless genocide at the beginning, will double the hatred in this civil war.

Two T80 tank battalions marched towards Morfu and Lefka. Clerides demanded to occupy these two important cities in the shortest possible time, and then use them as a base to launch a full-scale attack on the Northern Cyprus regime.At the same time, fighter jets stationed at the British Air Force Base in Serbia also began to take off. Two Jaguar fighter jets approached the North Cyprus military base in Lefka under the cover of night and dropped cluster bombs on the weak North Cyprus troops. .

The military bases in Northern Cyprus were completely destroyed without any precautions. The cluster bombs were like killing weapons prepared for these invaders. In the light of burning flames, people turned into coke and ashes.The armored vehicle turned into a burning iron sheet. Britain used this method to warn Turkey in disguise. This is the end of fighting the British army.When Turkey instigated the Turkish rebellion in Cyprus, British Prime Minister Wilson was very annoyed, because the turmoil in Cyprus would affect the security of the British military airport.This in turn affected Britain's actions to maintain the Suez Canal.

The bloody and cruel battle is not over yet. Just after the Cyprus government tore up the ceasefire agreement, the UN peacekeeping force rarely took any action.Neither intervening in this civil war nor evacuating the residential areas involved in the war, they just watched the Cypriot army attack the city without doing anything.It seemed that whether those Turks were dead or alive had nothing to do with them.

At this time, the residents living in Northern Cyprus really felt as if they were abandoned by the whole world. Thanks to the intelligence investigation of the United States and the cover of the air strikes of the United Kingdom, the attack of the Cyprus army was very smooth. It took only one day. Most of the two large cities have fallen into the hands of the Cypriot army, and the army of the northern regime has been crushed to the point where it cannot hold its head up.What makes them most desperate is that the Turkish government has been in a state of silence since the war began, which made the Northern Cyprus regime feel the desolation of being besieged on all sides for the first time.

It's not that Maziel refused to save him, he also had his own reasons.The US aircraft carrier battle group is docked in the waters between Cyprus and Turkey. Just one aircraft carrier forces the Turkish army to dare not take a step forward.This is the shock brought by the military strength and national strength of the United States.

Now Maziel's only hope is to bless the United Nations to uphold justice once. In fact, he hopes that the Soviet Union can take the lead in expressing its position against the US armed intervention in other countries' regimes.Mazier knew that the Soviet Union could not get involved in the Cyprus dispute for Turkey, not to mention that Greece and Cyprus were also Balkan allies of the Soviet Union.But as long as the Soviet Union can express its position, Turkey naturally has ways to deal with the status quo in Cyprus.What's more, Turkey is not worried about the targeting of the United States. The big deal is that it will be separated in the end. Turkey will withdraw from NATO and contribute to the Black Sea strategic location to contain the Soviet Union.At that time, it is estimated that the leaders of the Soviet Union will laugh out loud in their dreams.

At the other end of Moscow, Yanayev is also thinking about the same problem as Mazyel, how to make a fuss about the United Nations.Yanayev's guess is that Maziyer will protest to the UN Security Council on the Cyprus issue, and then submit a proposal asking the Cypriot army to stop attacking the northern regime.

"However, the United Nations peacekeeping forces have already adopted an attitude of watching the fire from the other side. Can Maziel's proposal still take effect?" Shevardnadze asked puzzled.In addition to the United States, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and other countries that have been stabbed by Turkey in the back are all looking forward to his being severely counted once in the Cyprus incident.

"What Turkey needs is our attitude." Yanayev pointed to Cyprus, then to the Turkish Straits.He said unhurriedly, "Did you see that? Mazier wanted to use the ownership of the strait to negotiate with the Soviet Union in exchange for our support for Turkey's invasion of Cyprus."

"But what's the use? The permanent members of the United Nations have a veto right. And Greece and Cyprus are allies of the Soviet Union." Shevardnadze scratched his head, not knowing that Maziel's move was in the right place. where.

"Yes, this is useless. But Mazier has reached the point where he is in a hurry." Yanayev sneered at the other party, "When we formed an alliance with the Soviet Union, we have been pushing back and forth on the issue of ownership of the strait. Now If something goes wrong, just think of the Soviet Union? Do you think I will sympathize with you? I almost laughed out loud."

In front of Turkey and Greece, Yanayev of course chose Greece, which has always had a pro-Russian tradition.The grievances between the Third Rome and the Ottoman Empire will not be eliminated because of a short-term external alliance. Yanayev has been waiting for the opportunity to completely surrender Turkey.Moreover, Yanayev hates the Turks who believe in Islam no less than he hates the United States.Muslin, who expelled the aborigines from their homes, would have been cleaned with thermobaric bombs and residential areas long ago if it was Yanayev.The best way to deal with the Turkish muslins is to send them to Hell and let those muslins know what cruelty is.

For the Turkish beast who slaughtered 150 million civilians in Armenia, there is no need to express sympathy with a group of believers who are rich in suicide bombers and terrorists.

"Glory belongs to the Soviet Union, to the former Third Rome." Yanayev read in a low voice.

"If Turkey really submits a proposal, what should we do?" Shevardnadze asked for Yanayev's opinion. Every order Yanayev issued was related to the Soviet Union's every move to the outside world at the United Nations. .

"What does Turkey think we will vote for? Yes or abstain?" Yanayev asked suddenly.

"Should it be an abstention? After all, this is related to the attitude of the three permanent members." Shevardnadze thought for a while and said in a low voice.

"Yes, abstain." Yanayev narrowed his eyes, and he had already thought of a way to express the attitude of the Soviet Union in his mind.

"In the Security Council resolution, four countries will vote against it, and only one country will abstain, but the country that abstained is not the Soviet Union. So, Comrade Shevardnadze, do you understand?" Yanayev decided to use this The method disgusts Turkey once, but his backhand is not over yet.

"Our S300 will also be deployed to the island of Crete in the next few days, and the psychological pressure on Turkey will not be normal, right? Oh, yes, and I almost forgot about our Cyprus, it is also time Add some congestion to the Turkish side."

Chapter 554 The Security Council's Negative Vote

From the bottom of his heart, Yanayev has two things on his mind. One is that the United States continues to try to intervene in Middle East affairs and provoke regional disputes.The second is the issue of the global expansion of Islam.Compared with the visible harm of the former, the invisible scourge of the latter is even more troublesome.The extremist forces of Islam, which could have been wiped out with effort, are growing stronger and stronger under the connivance of the United States. Coupled with the appeasement inaction of Western European countries, there is a vague trend of growth and development.

An Arab Islamic alliance across Eurasia is slowly taking shape, and Turkey in Asia Minor has always been ambitious to restore the glory of the Ottoman Empire.When the United States eliminated the heroes one after another in the Middle East, it did not realize that it was bringing greater disasters to the entire world.After the entire Middle East has lost its strong leaders, it will usher in a feast of restoration of Islamic fundamentalism.At that time, it will be the beginning of the nightmare of human civilization, and no one wants to see another religious war.

At this time, the Soviet regime led by Yanayev unexpectedly became the last protective barrier for the secularization of Middle Eastern countries. Hafez Assad in Syria was still able to maintain orthodoxy under the protection of the Soviet Union, while Iraq was being In a disguised form, it has become an imperial cemetery.The hatred between Sunnis and Shiites, and the discord between the US military and Saddam's forces have become the fuse of the entire Middle East.

This is why Yanayev resolutely opposes and resists the expansion of Ottoman Turkey, because apart from the Soviet Union, no one can stand up and insist that human civilization will not continue to be violated by the expansion of Islam.This is no longer the era of Saladin. As the last inheritor of the third Roman will, Yanayev will never take a step back.

We lost Constantinople once, but we will never lose another Moscow.

Therefore, among the representatives of various countries in the UN Parliament, only the representative of the Soviet Union, Igor Sergeyevich Ivanov, seemed a little worried. It seemed that the representatives around him did not realize how serious this was, and they were still talking and laughing. .

The United States, France and the United Kingdom have basically conspired to give Turkey an unexpected surprise.After all, the United States' actions in Cyprus bypassed the United Nations Security Council. Although the United States did not directly launch a military strike, the United Kingdom has provided cover for the air strikes in Cyprus.

What the United States has to do now is to delay before negotiating with Mazier.Either you get out of office and get a pro-American president, or the United States continues to weaken Turkey until you can no longer protect yourself.Of course, at this time, Turkey will be surprised to find that he has offended almost all the countries around him. Everyone expects Turkey to die, and now no one can stand by his side and speak for him.

When the voting began, the American representative was caught off guard and pressed the negative vote, followed by the United Kingdom and France.And Ivanov voted against it after the Chinese representative abstained.

As a result, Turkey's idea of ​​United Nations peacekeeping forces intervening in the Cyprus civil war was completely aborted, and the final proposal failed to pass the resolution of the Security Council with four votes against and one abstention.This is also a solid fact.It symbolizes that Türkiye has completely become the target of attacks.

After the vote, Ivanov did not show joy like other delegates.From the outside, this man of medium height and mild demeanor seemed dull and reserved.In addition, he is usually unsmiling, his face always seems to be tense, he speaks cautiously, and pays great attention to propriety when speaking.No wonder some people say that Ivanov is the most suitable representative of the USSR as a diplomat.

"Comrade Ivanov, it seems that you are very dissatisfied with the results of this vote?" American representative Frank Wisner said sarcastically, "This is very rare for us to stand on the same position. Could it be that we Shouldn't we celebrate with a glass of champagne?"

Wiesner deliberately showed off his Russian language in front of Ivanov in order to ridicule the other party's inauthentic Russian English.And he specifically used the word comrade.

Wisner's words did not arouse Ivanov's interest, he just turned his head indifferently, and said to Wisner in standard English pronunciation, "It seems that we have nothing to talk about, Mr. Wisner, when you are free Popping champagne here to celebrate, it is better to think about the United States, oh no, it should be the future of Western Europe."

Ivanov stretched out his hand, pointed at the representatives of other countries who were celebrating happily, and said disdainfully, "Have you seen them? It seems that these people don't know what stupid things they are doing. Of course I obey the decision of the central government, but I don't It's just America, the whole world is making the same mistake."

"Huh?" Wiesner laughed dumbfounded, "Same mistake? With all due respect, Mr. Ivanov, any country that dares to confront the United States will have only one fate."

Ivanov seemed to be used to such a threatening tone, he said calmly, "It's really a typical neoconservative style, no wonder American hawks would say that they either stand on the side of the United States or stand on the side of the United States." An extreme statement on the side of terrorists. It turns out that the whole world must serve the interests of the United States."

"Of course," Wiesner said.

Since the 80s, neoconservatism has gradually taken control of the American public opinion camp.Especially after the Bush administration came to power, it showed its sharp edge in diplomacy and attacked from all directions, reflecting the conservative and realist diplomatic concept proposed during the election campaign, following the principle of the supremacy of the US national interests, and pursuing unilateralist diplomacy based on strength .

The instrumental use of international cooperation by political hawks guided by neoconservatism soon became apparent.The allies of the United States, especially the European allies, found that the United States was crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, and even turned against them.Especially in various international actions, it deliberately marginalizes the role of its allies in the face of interests.Many senior U.S. officials have shown indifference or even disdain for the EU on different occasions.Even in response to the anti-war practices of the French and German governments, the former Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld scolded European countries for being useless, causing tension in US-European relations.Then, on the Palestine-Israel issue, Iraq issue, trade protectionism issue, environmental protection and other global issues, the United States and the European Union had serious differences and conflicts of interests one after another, and serious cracks appeared in the alliance relationship.

But political hawks such as Wiesner see such toughness and defiantness as necessary.

Ivanov shook his head and corrected Wisner's point of view, "Let me tell you, Mr. Wisner. What will happen next. As an army that maintains the secularization of Turkey, once it collapses in the country, There will be a series of chain reactions, including no confrontation with Turkey's domestic religious issues. So where will Turkey develop next? Of course, it has worked hard to destroy the secular regime established by Kemal, and once again become a religious state."

"Then there is the issue of Iraq. After pulling out the political strongman Saddam Hussein, can Iraq be controlled as it wishes? Of course not. The Sunnis still dream of becoming an extremist country dominated by religion. By then You will develop what you support is not a democratic and free secular country at all, but a regime that supports terrorism."

"There is also the Syrian regime that you want to subvert. If there is no Assad's protection, will the Middle East become a paradise for Islamic fundamentalism?"

Wisner was very displeased with Ivanov's words. He said disdainfully, "Those regimes, the United States only needs one air strike to disintegrate them."

"Disintegration?" Ivanov sneered, "Look at the current situation in Europe. Refugees who believe in religion are occupying those countries. Do you know Yugoslavia and how Cyprus disintegrated? Without exception, those who believe in Islam refugees, driving the original inhabitants from their lands."

In the end, Ivanov looked at Wissner, whose face changed slightly, and added, "As a piece of advice, no one wants to see the rise of a pan-Islamic blue alliance. By that time, the price paid by the United States and the Soviet Union will be huge." It will be even more painful."
