"Admiral Ivanov, are there any areas in need of help? I mean reinforcements." Selov, who was holding the phone, said with an honest attitude. "No need to say, you should also know that the motherland is facing strong pressure, which exists at every moment. We must create a fait accompli at the fastest speed, so as to better protect the country."

"I understand, but I believe that reinforcements are no longer needed. We have an absolute advantage. It is reasonable to take Constantinople!" Admiral Ivanov said confidently, "Let the motherland and the people wait for the news of our victory."

After saying that, General Ivanov put down the phone. He was not afraid of reinforcements appearing to steal his credit, but he really thought it was unnecessary. There were many examples of soldiers who were determined to die at the city. Not to mention the distant future, the Battle of Leningrad and Stalingrad during the Soviet Patriotic War were typical examples. However, these battle examples all have a prerequisite, that is, there must be a support channel in his own hands.

There are Leningrad and Stalingrad, but Constantinople does not. The Soviet Union has blocked the reinforcements from Turkey in Asia Minor through airborne operations. Constantinople is a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. This refers to fighting from the direction of Turkey, rather than fighting back from Greece. To conquer Constantinople, there must be a powerful navy. The Soviet Union is the most powerful navy in the country around the Black Sea, and the Black Sea Fleet is right in front of us.

There are all geographical advantages, sea control, military quality, and weapons and equipment. There is only one unknown factor, which is the possible urban combat. General Ivanov believes that a city will not have a huge reserve of arms during peacetime. Not all countries are the Soviet Union. The millions of residents of Constantinople are of course a big trouble. As long as there are weapons, it may cause heavy losses to the Soviet army. But if there are no weapons, will the other party use his fists to fight the Soviet army?

Selov was stunned at the busi voice, and smiled wildly and answered the call of the inner guards, "The Cheka Division rushed to Constantinople within one day. The major bureaus will draw personnel to take over the city. Once Constantinople is taken down, they will immediately expel all the Turks. This is a huge workload. My personal opinion is that in the Great Constantinople area, all four million Turks will be expelled. After this work is completed, the city will be officially announced to be incorporated into the Soviet Union."

"Chairman, what we, the KGB, lack the least is that I will arrange the people you need immediately." KGB Vice Chairman Tsvigon simply agreed, put down the phone and immediately asked the twenty-five general bureau units to draw personnel.

Once the Soviet ground troops were running at full speed, they would be like a huge wave that was moving forward, destroying all obstacles in front of them. This was not the first time that Erzurum was visited by the Russians. Fifty-eight years ago, the Russian Empire, which was a weak link in imperialism, had fought here. At that time, the Caucasian Army of the Russian Empire took a month to annihilate Türkiye and completely annihilate the Third Turkish Army, and occupied the place.

Fifty-eight years later, the Soviet Union's Transcaucasus Military Region Tank Army arrived here again. The opponent was still an old opponent, and the positions of the two sides were completely different. After a night of forced marching, one-tenth of the tank army of the Transcaucasus Military Region was broken on the road. Along the way to Erzurum, there were tanks and armored personnel carriers being repaired everywhere.

Soviet weapons were very resistant to dryness. This means that it is not bad to use. On the contrary, Soviet weapons generally have a longer lifespan than American weapons. Anyway, once a full-scale war begins, even if the weapons used are not damaged, they will be quickly destroyed by the enemy. The reason why Soviet weapons and equipment give others the impression of being durable is that even if there is a malfunction in Soviet weapons, they can be repaired quickly and put into combat again.

The Soviet tank army that arrived in Erzurum at 8 o'clock in the morning completed its mission through forcibly marching as the tanks fell behind. At this time, the competition between the Turks and the Kurds continued in Erzurum city. The appearance of the Soviets surprised everyone. Compared to the ecstasy of the Kurds, the Turks were completely disappointed.

Some Turks cannot accept the fact that the Soviets came so quickly. They believe that the Soviet Union would have to advance the front little by little at least a month. These Turks living in the mountains would not understand that the world had changed long ago. The Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire's meat grinder-like battles could never appear on the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union dispatched one-sixth of the army and one-eighth of the tanks, which was enough to solve Turkey within a few days, the regional power with the third largest NATO army.

But immediately the Soviet Union's unstoppable tank charge shattered Turkey's process of recalling glorious history. Although the two sides were actually beaten to each other last time, compared to the Ottoman Empire, the Turks can at least fight back, no matter how they think about it, they can feel the ubiquitous despair.

Erzurum is an important transportation hub. If it occupyes it, it can leverage the situation in eastern Turkey. As a major city in eastern Turkey, the military supplies stored here, including fuel, can also replenish exhausted fuel for the tank army in the southern Soviet war zone. This is the reason why the Soviet Union did not stop and directly attacked.

It is obvious who is a friend and who is an enemy. The Kurdish red flag is not indistinguishable. This is the best street sign for the Soviet army. This city itself is mostly Kurdish.

Originally, Turkish soldiers had to pay a terrible price for every step forward. The Kurdish armed forces used the houses on both sides of the street to shoot at the soldiers who were uncovered on the street. These Kurdish armed forces were trained in Azerbaijan, and they fully demonstrated the golden rules of street fighting. They used machine guns to suppress the opponent's infantry, and sniper rifles carried out precise strikes on the soldiers, and learned that Soviet tanks had begun to attack.

Kurdish General Secretary Ojaran immediately asked someone to contact the Soviet army. Such people were easy to find. Many Kurdish people were trained in Azerbaijan and there was no problem in talking in Russian. With the support of the Soviet army, the Kurds, who already had the advantage in numbers, immediately burst out with huge energy.

Instead, the guerrilla warriors of the Kurdish Party used the destroyed tanks and injured soldiers to surround the site to fight and rescue, and fed the bullets out of the guns with waves of blood. Each gunshot sounded, a soldier fell to the ground and splashed blood. They didn't even know whether the bullets were shot from behind the window. The cunning sniper hid in the dark and shot at the army. In a few minutes, the city will leave Turkey's territory forever.

The Soviets came. Under the guidance of many Kurds leading the way, the Soviet tank divisions attacked more easily than their own. In the wave of independence, all Kurds regarded the Soviets as liberators and guided the Soviet tank troops to attack strongholds that were still in the hands of Türkiye.

Facing the huge Soviet tank division, the Turkish defenders who had been persisting for a night collapsed. Like other cities, the Turkish soldiers here were first attacked by ground-to-ground missiles, followed by carpet bombing by the Soviet Air Force. Unlike some cities where the Turkish majority were cities, the Turkish soldiers here also faced the Kurdish advocates who were prepared and the Kurdish majority-occupied Kurdish advocates. Now the Soviet tank army finally defeated the confidence of the Turkish defenders.

"Fifty-eight years ago, the Russian Empire's army took a month to capture the city of Erzurum. Now we only need one day to report to the Erwin General Command, the 216th Guards' Motorized Infantry Division, captured Erzurum."

"The Red Navy Infantry Division captured the Turkish port of Salsson. Salsson has been completely occupied at present."

"The 98th Airborne Division of the Guards successfully occupied the eastern city of Constantinople Izmit. Constantinople has been surrounded by a group of people. The Airborne Division promised that no Turkish reinforcements would be allowed to enter Constantinople."

"The 104th Airborne Division of the Guards reported to occupy the eastern city of Boussar in the Dardanelles, and assist the 98th Airborne Division in completing the encirclement of the Mahastantinople area..."

"The 23rd Motorized Infantry Division of the Red Flag reported that our army had occupied the northeastern port of Rize and was pursuing the enemy. His colleagues moved to Trabzon to assist the amphibious tank troops in clearing the remaining enemies of Trabzon."

"The 145th Red Flag Motorized Infantry Division report is heading towards the central Turkish city of Elazade. The goal is to occupy this city and establish a control base, assist Syria in annihilation of the main Turkish troops in southern Turkey and end the war."

"What? The Soviet army went south and launched a full-scale attack on Turkey. More than a dozen major cities in Turkey have fallen, and Constantinople has been surrounded?" Greek President Constantine Karamanlis was shocked and could not believe his ears, but he immediately realized that since the conflict between Greece and Turkey, the Soviet Union's proposal to call for peace and other things was fake, and they were preparing to take action himself. Maybe even Syria's actions were profitable by the Soviet Union. Assad took action first but paved the way for the Soviet Union.

Greece was taken advantage of, and President Constantine Karamanlis soon thought of this, but immediately he also thought of another thing that Greece could not be used for vain, and this was a good opportunity to incorporate Cyprus into Greece.
