Chapter 718: Going to pick peaches
Greece wants the life of the Turks for a day or two. Russia and Turkey are feudal enemies, and Greece and Turkey are also feudal enemies. If a country can send Turkey to hell with Greece, Greece can do anything.? According to a relatively clear idea, even if the whole country eats grass, Greece will not give up its revenge against the Turks.
The failure of Greece in the Greek-Turkish War more than 50 years ago does not mean that Greece will also fail now. The Greeks suddenly realized that they could enjoy the glory of the victor with the Soviets. With the Soviets there, this war will definitely be won.
The Greek Wehrmacht has always relied on the support of foreigners to gain advantage over the Turks. As long as neither side supports it, Greece must be the loser side. The most typical example is the First Greek-Turkish War. Because it was a purely contest between the two countries, Greece was defeated. After the end of the World War, the Greek army invaded Anatolia and was defeated by the National Army led by Kemal. It can be said that Greece has never won.
In the ongoing Cyprus War, the Greek military government performed poorly and responded improperly, resulting in strategic failure. Cyprus was finally divided into two, because the United States turned a deaf ear to Greece's request for help because Turkey was stronger in resisting the Soviet Union. Since this is the case, now that the Soviet Union has pressed Turkey to the ground and beaten it up, what reason does Greece have to stand by?
Anyway, the war between the two countries was earlier than the Soviet Union, so what's the problem with continuing the war? On the tactical level, the small number of Greek troops stationed in Serbia and the Cypriot army fought more with less, which made the Turkish army in the 6th and finally drown the opponent with the tactics of the sea of people. From this point of view alone, the tactical qualities of the Greek 6th Army should not be underestimated. The gap between Greece and Turkey is that only one-fifth of the Greek population is the other. Greece cannot be equipped with tens of thousands of tanks like the Soviet Union to drown the opponent, but if it cooperates with the Soviet Union, all the adverse factors will not exist.
President Constantine Karamanlis' public announcement immediately caused the Greek people to be cheered, but then they heard an explosive news, "We must drive away all the Turks in Cyprus this time, Greece will win. We are not fighting alone. The Soviet Union, the most powerful country in the world, stood with us. Just fourteen hours ago, the Soviet army had attacked Turkey. At this time, more than a dozen major cities in Turkey fell, and Constantinople had been surrounded. We will welcome this great victory with the great Soviets."
As soon as these remarks were made, all the Greeks were shocked, but they were immediately replaced by ecstasy. Greece itself is an Orthodox country, the only one among NATO, and all other Orthodox countries with influence influential Orthodox countries are in the Warsaw Pact. The relationship between Greece and the Soviet Union is relatively complicated. On the one hand, in order to fulfill its obligations to NATO and confront the Soviet Union, Greece also maintained a certain degree of friendly relations with the Soviet Union because of Turkey's threat.
Especially after the military government was overthrown, Greece's suppressed pro-Soviet remarks instantly rose because of Cyprus invasion by Turkey. The Americans could not help Greece deal with Turkey, but the Soviet Union could, let alone the Soviet Union had already begun an attack.
From the start of the Soviet Union's sudden attack to the present, it has been less than a day. Although the Soviet Union's comprehensive attack on the east and west fronts has been revealed by NATO, NATO countries are in intense negotiations and must first unify their opinions and face the Soviet Union together. Therefore, the news of the war breaking out is only at the level of governments of NATO countries, and the people do not know that the war is so close to them.
Although Greece, as a NATO country, withdrew from the joint combat system, it was still a NATO member state. When President Constantine Karamanlis announced that Greece participated in the war to attack Turkey, it immediately caused an uproar around the world. This impact was in two aspects: on the one hand, as a NATO country, cooperated with the Soviet Union to declare war on Turkey, which caused fierce debate within NATO. Another convenient thing is that the news of the Soviet offensive, which was still blocked by the government, was suddenly known to the whole world.
The Soviet Union actually sent 500,000 troops to attack Turkey? This explosive news spread throughout the world in an instant, no less than the Cuban missile crisis. The spread of the news put the United States and NATO under tremendous pressure. Some newspapers that have always had a tough position questioned the capabilities of the US government and NATO, and why they turned a blind eye to the Soviet invasion.
"The Soviet Union used a large electronic jammer. We had no idea about it in the first eight hours. Then we used military satellites to detect the situation and ordered the Soviet army to withdraw from Turkey with a tough wording. NATO is holding a meeting to discuss how to fight back. The great American people, because things are very sudden, there are only a dozen hours since the beginning of the war. Please give us some time to deal with it." Defense Minister Schlegsing had to come forward to accept inquiries from major media.
As Secretary of Defense, Schlegsing expressed his tough opinion after being questioned and never satisfies the Turks of NATO member states to be attacked. This is the obligation of the United States.
"Mr. Schlegsing, I have no doubt that the government's tough attitude has been proven by the Korean War and the Vietnam War, but I want to ask, how we deal with Greece, a NATO country and the boss of the Warsaw Pact attacked another NATO country at the same time. Why, if the Cyprus Wars a month ago, we could adjust, wouldn't we be able to find an opportunity to attack at all?" a reporter stood up and asked.
"Now is not the time to hold accountable. For the issue between Greece and Turkey, this is very complicated. The problem we are facing now is that the Soviet Union invaded Turkey, not Turkey invaded Cyprus. The issue of Cyprus is an internal problem of NATO, and the Soviet Union is an external problem." Schleigsing said without changing his face. "It is meaningless to talk about the war between Turkey and Greece. The problem now is that the Soviet Union is attacking Türkiye."
The meaning is very clear. Turkey's invasion of Cyprus is only a small problem. Greece's dissatisfaction will not make the United States lose a single hair, but the Soviet Union's attack on Turkey is not enough. Once the Soviet Union kills Turkey, the United States will be in a very embarrassing situation.
"What a reasonable hegemonic argument. Simply put, it doesn't matter if the Greeks die, but the Turks die, because the murderers are different. The Turks who killed the Greeks are not a threat, but the Soviets who killed the Turks are enemies of mankind." Serov smiled, and he was surrounded by a group of experts from the Seventh General Administration. Even if he was in a small town where birds could not shit, he knew the news all over the world.
Under normal circumstances, Greece and the Soviet Union fight together should cause NATO to quarrel for several hours, and Greece did not withdraw from NATO. Of course, it will not be certain in the future. Constantine Karamanlis merged Cyprus with the help of the Soviet Union. Is the Soviet Union so easy to borrow? In the end, Greece successfully merged Cyprus, which will also arouse doubts within NATO. It is said that the purpose that was not achieved in NATO and that it will be accomplished with the help of the Soviet Union. What do the Greeks think?
In fact, Greece has begun to leave NATO since now. Even if the United States and the Soviet Union both strive to win over Greece, it would be easier for the Soviet Union to use force with the same force, but the Greek government itself has not yet understood this.
"General Selov, I just got the news that General Mustafa from Iraq led 20,000 Kurdish armed forces to attack the southeastern city of Turkey. Five minutes ago, he landed at the newly repaired airport in Kurdish General Secretary Ojaran's armed helicopter." At this moment, a guard walked in anxiously and reported.
"Let Comrade Ojaran come in." Shortly after, Selov met the Kurdish General Secretary supported by Andropov. Unexpectedly, this person was the one who led the Kurds in the end. Is it a coincidence or a fate? But one thing is that it was not until the Andropov era that began to focus on dealing with Turkey. Andropov died early. In addition to the failure of the Kurdish independence, the Kurdish Workers' Party was attacked by Turkey.
After thinking about it, Selov had to admit that Go Map was really amazing. It killed more than a dozen socialist countries, hundreds of socialist parties and the same armed forces, and the global layout created by the Soviet Union for decades was ruined in just a few years.
"Comrade Ojaran, the Soviet Union was happy to see the Kurds independent. Capitalist countries like Turkey were completely unsuitable to become multi-ethnic countries. They only brought oppression to other nations. This is completely different from socialist countries with completely equality!" Out of professional habits, he naturally criticized capitalism. But this is not the point. The focus is that compared to warlords like Mustafa, the Soviet Union hopes to support a ruling party that is ** as the Kurds.
In terms of current armed forces, Ojaran has less than 10,000 people, while Musta Law has more than 30,000 armed forces. However, one thing is that Ojaran has an absolute advantage. He is a Turkish Kurd, while Mustafa is a Kurd in Iraq. Although they are both Kurds, they are also different. After independence, the Turkish Kurds will have an overwhelming advantage. After all, more than 60% of Kurdistan is in Turkey.
"We support Kurdish, the freshman Kurd will be our friend." Selov said without any concealment.
"Only socialism is the most suitable way of life for the Kurds." Ojaran understood the interface.
