Chapter 702 Invasion of Cyprus
This was his first day back to Moscow. He quickly handled the matter and took a bus back home. Compared with the next thing, these issues of food, education, and immigration can only be said to be trivial. It is a part of national security, but the most important part of national security is a grand strategy, which requires the use of the military's strength.
"I've caused you trouble again, and I'll rely on you to help me in the end." In the bedroom of the two, Valia, who was without strands, took a rest and sat up, her long blonde hair sagging along her towering breasts. Her husband had shown great support for the plan he had implemented just after returning to Moscow, which moved her very much.
"You are my wife, whom I will not help you? Who will my wife ask her husband to cause trouble?" Sherov smiled relaxedly, and poked the woman's towering point, pressing the cigarette with his other hand to wipe out the way, "No matter what you want to do, as long as I can help you, I will help you. The greatest reward for you that you have given birth to so many children for me."
"My mouth is like honey is being applied. I know why you are back. I'm afraid you will participate. And the Central Bureau of State may not agree so easily on the choice of starting a war." Valia opened her red lips and hugged the man, "This is not a proxy war, and as a neighbor, the country has more things to consider."
"This is related to strategy. The Dardanelles have been blocked. We can never say that the overall environment has been completely changed. If you are OK, don't worry, look at me at that time." Covering the quilt on your wife again, although the woman's posture is quite pleasing to the eye, it is not good to look at it like this. What should I do if I get hard again after a while?
Greece is the military government, but it is currently a world economic crisis, with the word military government linked to the economic crisis. There are too many precedents in the past, and it is nothing more than launching action wars to enhance national morale. It’s okay to win, but if you lose? Greece is not the first or the last. Later, the Argentine military government was also swept away by Thatcher.
Because the United States and the Soviet Union were fiercely confronting southern Africa some time ago, air force transport planes continued to leap from the Dardanelles, making other countries uneasy, especially the nearby Greece and Turkey. In history, the military coup launched by the Greeks has not happened until now. However, with the victory or defeat of the Sudan and the Kyrgyzstan Wars, the tension in the world has passed.
On the last day of Hanoi, a military coup occurred in Cyprus. The Cyprus National Guard suddenly bombarded the Presidential Palace under the command of Greek officers. President Makarios escorted a team of students visiting the Presidential Palace and fled to Paphos in southern Cyprus, where there was a British air base. He then took a British plane to New York to accuse the Greek military of the atrocities to the United Nations. At the same time, the coup soldiers supported Nicos Sampson, who agreed to the merger of Hisse, as interim president.
He boarded the train until Irkutsk, and took more than two days to get off the plane at Moscow Airport, and took one day to deal with those trivial matters. Now he believes that the Turkish military should have formulated a combat plan and delivered it to the Turkish president. No war can be started by one person, and Stalin also needs to convince other members to agree, let alone the Turks. It is normal to take a few days to evaluate and draw up the plan. The war will start at the right time.
The next day, Selov left the villa, went to Ruby Yangka first, took out the combat plan that had fallen into a layer of dust and blew it, put it in a briefcase, and asked the driver to send himself to the Kremlin.
Selov, wearing a blue hat, walked very slowly. This was not his usual style. Because he couldn't drive, he walked much faster than ordinary people. It is very rare to walk slowly like this.
After returning the guards, Selov entered the Kremlin, and the leather shoes under his feet rang out far away.
"Yura, I just came back and thought you would have a rest at home." Sherepin was not here, but worked in the Supreme Soviet, with only Brezhnev and Kirirenko here, but it didn't matter, it was actually only a few minutes away.
"I'll submit the Soviet plan and wait for approval to be implemented." Serov said slowly, and while speaking, he put a stack of plans from his briefcase on the table, with an unprecedented solemn expression. He has been revising the plan for more than ten years, and today it seems that it's time to implement it.
The Soviet plan was a combat plan specifically for the Soviet Union to deal with Turkey. The purpose was to dismember Türkiye, open up the passage from the Dardanelles to the Mediterranean Sea, and of course, to recover Constantinople and get back the holy city that belongs to the hearts of Russians of all generations.
The Soviet Union completely suppressed religion, but Orthodox Church had a huge impact on the Russians. This cannot be solved by preaching. The demise of the Eastern Roman Empire has always been like a thorn in everyone's hearts, but they are unwilling to mention it.
But even so, Selov's words still surprised Brezhnev and Kirirenko University. The combat plan can be formulated, which is military common sense. Otherwise, what will the Ministry of Defense do in peacetime? But there are many factors in the implementation or not. It is impossible for the Soviet Union to declare war on NATO member Turkey when it is hot.
"Comrade Selov, do you know what you are talking about? There is no reason to provoke NATO?" Central Secretary Kirilenko directly retorted, "I understand your painstaking efforts, but our struggle with the United States is a long-term struggle, not through risky military operations. As the General Political Commissar, you should understand this."
Selov raised his head slightly and stared at Brezhnev's comrade-in-arms. The meaning in his eyes was very complicated, cold, disdainful, dull, or sarcastic. In fact, there were some, but they were just disrespectful anyway.
At this moment, the red phone on the table rang. It was the phone call of the General Secretary. Brezhnev did not care about his comrade-in-arms competing with Selov, and sat down and picked up the phone. His face changed color and looked at Selov. "Türkiye attacked Cyprus? Half an hour ago..."
Compared to Kirilenko's surprise, Selov was still the dead face of the judge. After Brezhnev put down the phone, Selov silently knocked on the plan on the table with his hand, and the meaning was self-evident.
At dawn on August 6, a large number of Turkish troops suddenly landed 8 kilometers west of the northern port city of Kyrenia in Cyprus. Turkey claimed that the move was to "protect" the safety of the Turkish people in Cyprus. Turkish invading forces include the "Chakmak" Special Attack Brigade, the 6th Amphibious Infantry Regiment, the 50th Infantry Regiment and the 39th Division Tank Battalion, which was equipped with 12 m47 tanks, 20 m113 armored vehicles and 12 105mm caliber howitzers.
In order to drive away the invading Turkish army, the Cyprus National Guard first sent two companies of the 251st Infantry Battalion and five T-34 tanks from one platoon of the Tank Battalion to intercept. The Serbian army initially destroyed two recoil-free gun positions of the Turkish army, but the M113 armored vehicles of the Turkish army worked closely with the infantry to destroy two T-34 tanks of the Serbian army, which made the efforts of the Serbian army waste.
"Convene a meeting of the Central Presidium!" Brezhnev, who picked up the phone again, had returned to the appearance of Mount Tai falling before him without changing his expression. His voice was rarely soft, but full of majesty.
The Soviet Gret plan was officially taken to the meeting of the Central Presidium of the Soviet Union for discussion. All the members of the Central Presidium who attended the meeting were very surprised. Looking at Selov who had just returned to China, Polyyansky, the first vice chairman of the Council of Ministers, asked in a heavy mood, "Comrade Selov, this is what you KGB did."
"Is our KGB God? Can the anti-Soviet Greek military government make the coup in Cyprus?" Selov twitched his lips and smiled coldly, "In the context of the world economic crisis, what is the most direct way for a country's military government to maintain legitimacy in order to maintain legitimacy? The Greek military government is not the first, nor the last."
Shelov, who had a blue brimmed hat, was very cold, as if he was evaluating how much feed a pig would eat to gain meat. This attitude was strange, like... it was like he had already judged it.
"The Greeks' coup in Cyprus was the reason why I hurriedly returned from Hanoi. I was not here to support the women at home. Now, comrades, let's talk about the serious business." Serov clapped his hands and attracted the attention of others and said to himself, "I have been waiting for this opportunity. Thank you for fate. When I was forty-seven, I finally waited."
"In principle, I support it. This plan is perfect in any angle. Comrades, you also know that Yula's construction on various borders is stocked with sufficient military supplies to support the war in any dangerous area on the vast borders of our motherland. This preparation has been prepared for many years." After hearing this, Xie Lieping, the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, expressed his support first.
"But the risk is huge. Now this is a civil war in NATO, and it will be different if we get involved." Mazulov, the first vice chairman of the Council of Ministers, thought for a moment, "Will this cause a total war between us and NATO?"
"Can they fight wars in Western European countries now? The economic crisis has been ongoing, and the support rates of the * and Socialists in various countries seem to be a little higher. Besides, I have no intention of helping the Greek military government. I want to help. I hope to help the allies of the Warsaw Pact." Selov said slowly, "Let's wait and see, but we must do it ourselves. The army has not fought for more than 20 years. We need to test the combat effectiveness of the army. I must remind again that there is only one opportunity like this. If we don't seize it, the people will not be satisfied." In the end, Selov's tone became extremely solemn.
