It was midnight, and ordinary Turks on the ground could not see the approaching danger with their eyes. Trabzon is a relatively important city in northeastern Turkey. Its population is slightly higher than that of Kars, but the population of the whole city is less than 100,000. The military power is even worse than that of Kars, after all, the former is a real military center.

According to the KGB intelligence collection, Turkey's military power in the entire Kurdistan region is less than 100,000, because Turkey's largest city, Istanbul, and the capital Ankara are both very important and are usually equipped with the most powerful troops to defend. Not only Turkey, but any country is like this.

Other cities, except for military centers like Karls, which specifically deal with the Soviet Union, do not have many troops. Even if Turkey has begun to recruit some reserve forces, Turkey still seems to be weak in defense. Politicians usually deceive the people and tell ordinary people that danger will come soon. In fact, the Turkish government still trusts the protection of the United States. Thinking of the Soviet Union's desperate gamble to start a full-scale war, this is simply impossible.

But they didn't expect that the Soviets really came this time, gathering three military regions and an army group stationed abroad to kick off the war with a full-scale attack, which no one expected.

"The command of the headquarters is to destroy. We have arrived above Trabzon. The flames on the ground should be caused by ground-to-ground missiles. Now it is our turn. It is gloriously belonging to the brave Soviet Air Force, dropping bombs..." With a command, iron lumps of iron slowly fell in the belly of the bomber group, and with a unique sound, they were thrown down by the Soviet bomber group like dumplings. The Soviet Air Force's attack was an indiscriminate attack, and did not deliberately distinguish between military and civilian targets.

One thing is certain. After this war, Selov's reputation was inauspicious in his life. At least this is true in European and American countries. In order to ensure the rapid and complete victory of the war, he completely solved the problem with the combat method of the Russian Empire, first defining everyone in the enemy country as the enemy, and then completely eliminating the enemy. There is no concept of the people in the thinking of the enemy country, except for the prisoners, there is no dead people.

Trabzon was completely destroyed and did not take it to his heart. It was not the only city that was bombed by the Soviet Union. There were no exceptions in the major cities in eastern Turkey, such as Ellaze, Urfa, Batmann and Erzurum. After the raid of ground-to-ground missiles, the Soviet Air Force attacked batch after batch, returning, attacking, returning, attacking, and returning. Anyway, the war reserves of the three major military regions were enough for half a year. Selov meant to throw all these bombs out within ten days.

At this time, all the railways in the Caucasus region were under military control. In Georgia, the Soviet troops in Azerbaijan were heading to Armenia along the railway. At the same time, the second batch of offensive troops in Armenia had crossed the border, the entire Armenia was already in a state of emptiness, and all military forces were put into the attack.

"Let's go, go to Karls with the second batch of offensive troops and hand over this belt to Moscow." Selov felt that his shoulders were quite strong and he took all the responsibility directly on himself.

This is a videotape he recorded, in which he assumed all the responsibility for the Soviet Union's military operation. Selov had already done everything that Brezhnev hoped for. Once the war failed, he would naturally accept punishment.

In the first round of missile attacks and air strikes, Turkey, except for Istanbul, and the capital Ankara, were all in the Soviet air strikes. Graphite bombs, electromagnetic bombs and other bombs that were successfully researched by the Soviet Union were all used on Turkey for the first time. The state grid has been destroyed, major radar stations have been destroyed, television and radio stations have been destroyed, important railways have been destroyed, and the reserved military assembly locations are filled with cluster bombs dropped by the Soviet Air Force.

"What are the Turks doing? How can they not be contacted?" An operator frowned in the NATO military system command in Brussels. During the Cold War, the two military groups were on guard against each other. The NATO allies would contact each other every few hours, and the time for contact was already here, but Türkiye had no response.

"Nothing will happen, right?" Another operator stretched out his head and said while gesturing in an inquiring tone. "Maybe the Soviet Union is launching a large-scale attack on Türkiye, and World War III has begun."

"This joke is not funny." The operator was an Englishman from the previous one, and he was not very able to accept this joke. Once World War III began, he could not imagine what the future of mankind would look like.

"Hey, what's wrong? British people, is your British army used for decoration? Isn't the British Empire's army ready to fight at any time in the confrontation between the two camps? Let the Soviet Union know that we have been on the battlefield for a long time?" Another American continued to maintain a relaxed tone. He did not think that the Soviets would be able to kill the whole world if they lived enough. He no longer believed the statement of World War III.

"Don't tell such jokes, our army just lets ordinary people know that we are ready to fight at any time, while the Soviets knew from beginning to end that we were not ready." The British ignored the Americans who were optimistic in nature and continued to try to connect with the Turkish side. As time went by, the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"What's wrong?" At this moment, the supervisor here came in and asked what happened to the Military Liaison Department.

"Report, Turkey has not been able to contact us. I am worried that something has happened there." The liaison officer who has been trying to contact Turkey stood up and told in detail what had just happened.

"Turks? Are they fighting against Greece? By the way, there is also Syria, an ally of the Soviet Union. Wait for a while, maybe the Turkish army is fighting against Syria now." The lieutenant colonel who came in looked impatient when he heard about Turkey's problems. The NATO civil war between Turkey and Greece aroused the disgust of many officers. Does an officer not understand history? No war history is originally a part of history. The confrontation between Greece and Turkey was chosen to support Turkey due to political reasons, but it does not mean that all officers think so.

Due to the war between Greece and Turkey, there was a strong resentment to Turkish soldiers within NATO. This lieutenant colonel is just one of this huge group. It can be said that Turkish officers have been hostile at NATO headquarters recently.

"Okay, I'm trying to contact you later." The liaison officer sighed. He just said this because of his responsibilities. Since the supervisor of the Military Liaison Department said there is no problem, what else is there?

They would not have thought that the Turks were relying on their own strength to resist the Soviet Union's full-scale attack. The Soviet Union in the 1970s could be said to be the most powerful military force in human history. The Soviet Union occupied half of the world's tanks and the Soviet Union accounted for half of the Warsaw Pact. Nuclear submarines accounted for half of the world, airborne troops occupied half of the world, and nuclear weapons were on par with the United States, and also half of the world. In this case, the Soviet Union could just send a little army to hold Turkey to the ground and rub it, and even shamelessly played sneak attacks.

This Turkish version of the Patriotic War will surely emerge countless heroic stories, inspiring generations of Turks to make them miss it. The evil Soviets used more than 8,000 tanks, 1,400 bombers, and 500,000 soldiers to invade, which is bound to fail. Not only the Turks believe, but also Selov. After all, he is not prepared to occupy the entire Turkey. Since he is not prepared to occupy the entire country, he will naturally withdraw his troops at that time, and the Turks can declare that they have won.

"According to the speed of the fully mechanized army, the army group in Romania should reach the periphery of Constantinople before dawn, which is the western border of Turkey." Sitting among the armored vehicles, Selov, who kept shaking the road, held the handle with one hand and ordered, "The next batch of bombers of the Air Force should carry incendiary bombs, isolate the traffic in the Great Constantinople area and block the reinforcements from Turkey to assist Constantinople. Remember, the entire Constantinople that the country needs, that is, on both sides of the Dardanelles. The purpose is to turn Türkiye into an Asian country, do you understand?"

"We will contact the Armenian General Command immediately." The staff officer next to him nodded and immediately took out his mobile phone to contact the country. Seeing the mobile phone in the other party's hand, Selov looked like he couldn't bear to look at it. Among the various war movies he watched, none of them used mobile phones to contact them, and this was not professional at all.

But it is not unreasonable. Mobile phones are emerging after all, and the monitoring of mobile phones is just starting now. There should be no problems, but there should be some precautions in this area in the future.

The Soviet Union's fully mechanized troops are currently the best in this ball-breaking army group. Once they enter the starting state, they can fully launch an overall attack. The tanks, armored vehicles, cars and motorcycles can completely pull all the soldiers away. With the Soviet group in Romania from Constantinople, they can theoretically reach their destination in one night. After all, all the Soviet Union's allies will maximize the speed of the marching.
