USSR 1991

Page 296

The Soviet Union does not need to worry that if it attacks Turkey, the defense of Eastern European troops will be empty. So far, no country that dares to provoke the Soviet Union has appeared in Europe. Even the United Kingdom and Germany have to consider the mood of this neighbor with the largest military strength in Europe. .

"We have detected the trajectory of the CIA's activities in the Caucasus region, and through the satellite positioning system, we have also monitored traces of large-scale military aid at the border. Don't tell me President Sezer, these are not done with the acquiescence of the Turkish government for?"

Sezer's face turned pale, but Yanayev, who was sitting on the negotiating table opposite, remained calm. His fingers tapped on the table, disintegrating all the opponent's defenses with ease.

Looking around, which country in Western Europe can challenge the Soviet army now?Not to mention you, a Turkey with a bloated organization and backward equipment, even if it is the elite of Western Europe, Yanayev is confident that it will disintegrate their offense in a short time.

Sezer continued to argue, "General Secretary Yanayev, you have to understand that the CIA's aid may penetrate to the Caucasus region through any place, not necessarily through the Turkish border forces. Also, everything you said is true. It cannot be counted as evidence, and we will not admit that such covert operations have been carried out in other countries!"

Yanayev shook his head in disappointment. He didn't want to make the negotiation too rigid. If it wasn't for Sezer's repeated denials, he wouldn't want to make such a move.

"Do you think the Soviet Union needs an excuse to attack other countries? We are already a torrent of steel to punish the world."

Yanayev said lightly, "We came with a peaceful purpose, not to prepare for a war with Turkey. But Turkey has repeatedly pushed and blocked. I think this negotiation has come to an end. It is necessary to continue, and I only hope that your third group field army is ready for the final piece of jade."

Sounds exactly like an ultimatum.

"Because what you are going to face next is the latest achievement of the reform of the Soviet army, the informationized armored force."

"This is a torrent of steel that focuses on precision strikes."

President Sezer was pale and speechless.

6 Sixty chapters make Eastern Europe tremble with a short memory

The actions of the 58th Army also cooperated very well with Yanayev's visit and provoked disputes in the Caucasus.First, the Tu95 strategic bomber began to cruise the Caucasus border area under the cover of the Su-27 fighter group.As a bomber that has served in the Soviet Union for nearly half a century, the shock brought by the Bear is still extraordinary. Every time it approaches the border area, Turkey needs to scramble fighter jets to carry out a near-miss interception.

The next thing is that the Il-214R aircraft responsible for electronic warfare is responsible for interfering with the combat command system of the Third Field Army in the border area, destroying the Turkish communication system, and making it out of touch when mobilizing troops.The old and backward communication system of the Turkish army is vulnerable to the electronic interference of the Soviet army. There is almost no way to do it except to face the snowflake screen in a daze.Want to try to strike across the border?Then you have to see who the other party is.

As for the Black Sea, the rampant Glorious-class cruisers and the Kirov-class have locked the Turkish Navy in the port area. The bombers taking off from the Crimean Peninsula Airport cruise on one side of the sea almost every day to attack Turkey. And the United States swears its own toughness.Who called the Soviet Black Sea Fleet the most powerful fleet in the entire Black Sea region, none of them.

In this way, Yanayev consumed Sezer's patience bit by bit at the negotiating table. When he finally realized that this was an unsolvable situation, he would naturally surrender to Yanayev.

At the negotiating table, Yanayev had watched the entourage whisper something into Sezer's ear until his face became paler and paler.Yanayev certainly knows that this is the 58th Army putting pressure on the Turkish border, and at the same time adding political chips to the negotiating table.

"Is this the answer of the Soviet army? Trying to create a war in the border area?" Sezer clenched his fists, "Don't push too hard, Yanayev. Turkey is not so strong that it can't afford to lose a war! And don’t forget, now that General Secretary Yanayev is still in Ankara, it’s no good for anyone to start a war.”

Sezer tried to remind Yanayev of his disadvantaged situation, but Yanayev didn't seem to care at all, he just said calmly, "A great country will not lose a leader and fail to function. So I dare to stand here because I want to tell you the determination of the Soviet Union? Don’t think that the Soviet Union will be disbanded after I die. In fact, the Soviet Union has been pulled into the right track of reform. In the position of the secretary, there will not be too many problems."

"We never need to force Turkey to do certain things, you just have to do your own job. One is to withdraw your troops from the border area first, the other is to stop aid to the remnants of the Georgian rebels, and the third is to Well, I want to know how far you have gone with the American anti-missile system project?"

The first and second points were in Sezer's expectation, but the third point made Seizer somewhat inexplicable.

Yanayev emphasized, "No, no, please don't get me wrong, President Sezer, I mean that in front of Iskander of the Soviet Union, the anti-missile system is just a decoration. I just want to tell you To emphasize one thing, Turkey will not be an opponent of the Soviet Union in any respect. It was not in the past, it is not in the present, and it will not be in the future.”

It couldn't stop the advance of the Soviet armored forces, couldn't resist the interference of the Soviet electronic warfare, and in front of the strategic bombers in front of it, Turkey's armed forces seemed too small.Even if it is known as the second in NATO, it cannot escape the fate of cannon fodder.

Yanayev stood up suddenly, and he was about to turn around and leave the meeting room, but before leaving, Yanayev said to Sezer behind him, "So shall we continue to argue now?"

Seeing this powerful figure, Sezer could only nod his head slightly in the end. He clenched his fists and said slowly with an expression of unwillingness, "I agree to the request made by General Secretary Yanayev, then the negotiation can continue. ?"

Yanayev, who was almost half-stepped over the threshold of the meeting room, withdrew his foot, then turned around and showed a meaningful smile to Sezer.

"of course can."

Half an hour later, Yanayev ended negotiations in Ankara.Turkey is willing to be responsible for everything it has done before, withdrawing all the forces it tried to intervene in Georgia, and sharing all the intelligence of the rebels with Lubyanka, ordering the US fleet to withdraw from the Black Sea within a time limit, and restore the security of the Black Sea situation .

When Yanayev walked down the steps of the Turkish presidential palace, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.He didn't expect that he just had an operation, and even Turkey tried to stand up and challenge the authority of the Soviet Union in the Caucasus.And this slap on the face of Turkey told the other party, do you know how to write the word dead?

Not only Turkey, but various European countries have recently begun to send signals of the "Soviet Threat Theory" to Eastern Europe. After seeing the Soviet army quelling the rebellion in Georgia on the [-]th, those Western European countries that have lived in peace for too long seem to be aware of it. The distance between the Soviet army and them is gradually spreading.

On the way from leaving the presidential palace to the airport, Yanayev has been thinking about the situation in Eastern Europe. The drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the established fact of NATO's eastward expansion have made Yanayev feel unprecedented pressure.In the past few years, if deterred by force, the Eastern European countries could be subdued. However, since the US anti-missile system intervened in Eastern European countries, these "rebels" seem to have the confidence to challenge the Soviet Union.

The current Soviet Union is in a critical period of economic construction. Once various domestic industrial reforms are completed, Yanayev will not even need to do it himself. Economic interests will naturally turn Eastern Europe around and join the Soviet camp.As for those small fish who are really unwilling to cooperate, Yanayev needs to exert dual political and military pressure. The policy of carrots and sticks will never become obsolete.

To redefine Europe, the influence of the United States must be reduced. The decline of an equally evil empire is not a feat that can be accomplished in a short time.But Yanayev has plenty of time to get it done.

The world situation is tilting in a direction that is not conducive to the United States. The goals expected by Uncle Sam and Western allies have not been realized as promised, so now is the best opportunity for Yanayev to fight back.

Yanayev narrowed his eyes and stared into the distance. He said in a deep voice, "It's time to make the Eastern European countries with short memories tremble."

Chapter 661 It's Over

Obviously, the beautiful campaign of the Soviet army in Georgia greatly stimulated the NATO countries, especially those Western European countries that have always prided themselves on being advanced and precise.They have been trying to dismiss Soviet weapons as cheap, cheap garbage without any technical content.It even claimed that Soviet tanks were nothing more than moving coffins in front of the US army.

So the perception of Soviet weapons is nothing more than the desert operation in 1991. When they saw Saddam's armored troops being slaughtered by depleted uranium bombs, the West came to this conclusion.The offensive of large-scale armored groups has become a thing of the past, and precision and digitization are the direction of future military development.As for the torrent of iron and steel, it is just a pile of broken copper and rotten iron that rusts and decays over time.

Obviously, the reality slapped the leaders of Western countries severely.So much so that after the end of the Five-Day War, President Chirac immediately summoned Defense Minister Alain Richard to consult him about the update of French armaments.

"Could you please explain to me why in the mid-1970s, the Air Force began to propose a tactical combat aircraft plan considering the existing aircraft that would need to be replaced within the next 20 years. Then by the 1990s, our fighter jets were basically The flight test has been completed on the plane, but why is the Ministry of National Defense still not willing to replace armaments on a large scale? At the beginning, you guaranteed that this is a new type of fighter that is truly an all-round general-purpose fighter in the world?"

The real advantage of the Rafale fighter is its multi-purpose combat capability. This fighter is the most comprehensive in the world. It not only takes into account both sea and air, but also has powerful air combat, ground and sea attack capabilities.Taking the F3 as an example, the Rafale already has superb sea attack, reconnaissance and nuclear attack capabilities. The Rafale is a medium-sized fighter with comprehensive capabilities and relatively balanced performance. It can not only fight in the air, but also attack the ground, and can also serve as an aircraft carrier. Carrier-based aircraft can even drop nuclear bombs.

As early as 1994, the Rafale A was retired as an experimental model.The Rafale C-type aircraft also made its first flight in May 1991, the Rafale M-type aircraft made its first flight in December 5, and the Rafale B-type 1991 aircraft first flew in April 12, and then followed various long test periods until In 01, it was obvious that the French army did not have large-scale equipment. It seems that there is a long way to go to serve the French Air Force on a large scale.

"The reason is not that the guys who manage the money bags in the parliament know better? President Chirac." Richard said a little aggrieved, "Even if we know that the social economy is no longer good, we must continue to maintain high welfare and high expenditure. Still have money to continue the military buildup?"

The persistent economic downturn in the 90s has indeed caused Western European countries to suffer. The century that should have been prosperous has ushered in a depression, not to mention the Asian financial crisis in 1998 waiting for the world.

The delivery results of advanced fighter jets in history were delayed until 2000 before they were generally equipped with Western European countries, but when Chirac saw the muscle show of the new Soviet army, he couldn't bear it anymore.

The French army can no longer continue to fall. If it is still a salted fish like this, how can it be worthy of the status of a major European army.

"I will find a way in terms of funds. I think that in addition to France, Britain and Germany may also be aware of this matter. It is the best choice to recruit them." President Chirac muttered, "I hope this group Fools can realize that we can no longer maintain the most advanced position in Europe."

At the same time, George Robertson also spoke to the British Prime Minister, suggesting that the United Kingdom increase the budget for the Ministry of Defense, because everyone realized one thing, that is, the Soviet army is no longer the armored force waiting to rust and decay. After these years of transformation, they have shown themselves in front of the world with an even more astonishing attitude, giving Western Europe all kinds of high-level military officials who are still indulging in the most advanced military in the world.

"The British army must be reformed, Prime Minister Blair." Robertson spoke to the Prime Minister almost in the form of a roar, "Look at how decadent our troops have become after 1991? The Army can't even get two armored divisions together, which is similar to the Soviet Union. How to do it?"

When Yanayev launched the disarmament plan and the disintegration of the socialist camp in Eastern Europe, the West no longer needed so many troops to slow down the pace of economic construction. Coupled with the global economic downturn, European countries disarmed became a common practice.

However, Prime Minister Blair did not focus on Robertson. There was a more important matter waiting for him in 1997. Almost the entire British government is now focusing on the return of Hong Kong.So Blair just waved his hand impatiently and said, "What else to do? Pass a bill to increase the military budget? What will our people think of us?"

Blair is very disgusted with the military's changing ways to ask for funds. He believes that there is no need to maintain a large armored force in peacetime, as long as it can interfere in overseas situations, it will be fine.

It is true that the Labor Party deceived me about the century-old cause of Britain.

"When our troops can't protect the people, what do you think they will think of us?" Robertson felt desperate for Blair's answer.The decadence that the sun never sets has become an established fact, but Robertson, as the Minister of Defense, wants to make one last effort before the country's army completely falls.

"You mean the performance of the Soviet army? Now that the Soviet Union has lost its allies in Eastern Europe, and the United States has deployed anti-missile systems in Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union has never said a word. In addition to the rebellion in the Caucasus, the Soviet Union seems to be gunfire, but it is actually in crisis. .It can neither solve the internal crisis nor solve the dangerous external environment. The Soviet Union will eventually decline and even go to extinction. As for Europe, France and Germany will naturally stop them. Do we need to worry about these things?"

Blair patted Minister Robertson on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "After the British economy emerges from the downturn, we will naturally increase the budget of the army and restore the size of the army to a certain extent. But now, we must at least consider the British people. feeling, don't you?"

With a gloomy face, Robertson picked up the plan on the table, waved his hand to Prime Minister Blair, and then left.When he turned around and walked out the door, he even staggered a little.

Robertson finally realized one thing, it was impossible for the British army to re-emerge.

I think Great Britain is about to end, right?
