Chapter 721 Try it out

"Ula, Ula, Ula!" The huge sound wave was transmitted to Brezhnev's ears through the phone, with a rustling sound in it, but it did not damage the momentum of the huge waves. Even if Brezhnev was thousands of kilometers apart at this time, he could still feel it, and was in the crowd like he was in the scene.

"Good job!" said in a majestic and calm voice. Brezhnev smashed the phone heavily on the table. His back, which was originally a little hunched, was unprecedentedly straight. In Marshal Grechko's eyes, Brezhnev, who had been silent, seemed to have become a different person during the phone call, and seemed to have suddenly become twenty years younger.

"Constantinople has been conquered, and the obstacles that blocked us in the Black Sea have disappeared." Brezhnev sat down and said in silence, "The war can be said to be over, and we have achieved our goals. But the war will continue for a while, and the results of the future will be bargaining chips for us to negotiate with the United States. Yula will also take some time to receive our results without leaving any troubles. Yula has done everything that promised us, and now we see ours."

"Comrade Chernenko, inform other comrades to convene a meeting of the Central Presidium, let us discuss the issues." After ordering Chernenko, Brezhnev turned his gaze to Marshal Grechko, Minister of Defense, and his index finger gently tapped the table. He suddenly looked up and said, "The Red Navy is dispatched, except for the fleets around Cuba and Chile, the four major fleets, the Black Sea Fleet, the Baltic Sea Fleet, the Atlantic Sea Fleet, the Pacific Fleet moves towards the North Pacific, the Northern Fleet surface ships and the Baltic Sea Fleet join forces, and the nuclear submarine forces lurk at the Arctic Ocean. This time, the US navy will never scare us away..."

Brezhnev did not talk about the issue of nuclear weapons. In fact, nuclear weapons are not a problem. Since the Cuban missile crisis, the Soviet Union has stopped talking about missiles. It is very simple. He talks about nuclear weapons every day, and it is over when he plays nuclear blackmail. In the Khrushchev era, the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons were too far from the United States, so he could only play nuclear blackmail. When he led the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons had reached a balance with the United States. In this case, the Soviet Union did not always have to talk about how many nuclear bombs there were.

The credibility of the public claims policy has no effect: Britain and France have always claimed that they will use nuclear weapons first in the case of large-scale conventional invasions of the Soviet Union, and China has always claimed that they will not use nuclear weapons first in any case. Both public claims policies can be considered to be influential. The United States and the Soviet Union have never considered these public claims policies, but only considered the comparison of nuclear forces. While ensuring mutual destruction.

Both the United States and the Soviet Union are in a state of not threatening you with nuclear weapons publicly, but they are guaranteed to start nuclear war at any time. Because for both countries, ordinary enemies do not need to consider the issue of using nuclear weapons at all. Conventional weapons can solve all countries except the other side, and the nuclear weapons of both countries are prepared for each other.

So Brezhnev did not ask how many nuclear missiles were hanging on the four major fleets that he launched. He only needed to know whether there was or not. The Soviet Union's huge conventional military power was also protecting its own nuclear weapons in a sense.

"I will notify Comrade Gorshkov immediately, this time we will try how much combat capability the US Navy has. I believe Comrade Gorshkov has been waiting for this day for a long time." Minister of Defense Marshal Grechko laughed and Brezhnev nodded, waiting for the convening of the Central Presidium.

"The four major fleets attacked to cover the nuclear submarine forces into the ocean, and then rushed to the Arabian Sea to intercept major US aircraft carrier combat groups, and prepare for strategic bomber formations, and prepare for combat according to the standards of nuclear war, and raid the US aircraft carrier combat groups at any time." Gorshkov ordered, "Let's try the US Navy's weight..."

The orders of the Minister of Defense Marshal Grechko and the Commander of the Red Navy Marshal Gorshkov are clearly marked by the Soviet military and American hardliners. This standard is that when we feel that we will bring you down and then make a profit greater than their losses, then you will not be far from the end. Pursuing verification wars is to win nuclear wars. Only in this way can they believe that they can credibly deter the enemy. Nuclear wars can be avoided, but my nuclear power must be stronger than you. And if I find that my nuclear power is much stronger than you and the two sides are unbalanced, then I will bring you down.

Because the Soviet Union attacked Turkey in the overall situation, the United States and the Soviet Union once again had a stage to compare each other. During this period, both sides will carefully evaluate the other party, and their strengths and weaknesses are being evaluated. Once the Soviet Union and the United States find a place far inferior to themselves from each other, nuclear war must be an option to consider.

This is also the reason why Selov brought three major military regions with nuclear weapons at any time. He did not mean to turn on the radiation plot, but at the same time he had to be prepared to turn on it at any time.

Now that the southern cluster in Constantinople is occupied, everything in the city belongs to the Soviets, including the banks, postals, and governments here. Selov is taking the map and studying with the commander of the southern cluster General Ivanov, where will the future air defense missiles and ballistic missile positions be deployed, where will the newly built radar station be effective? The layout of the military camp and whether to lay minefields should be laid out, these plans are underway.

"Comrade General, Chief of Staff of the Greek Welfare Army Constantine Gene, I hope to meet you." The Southern Cluster's correspondent came in and said. Seeing the solemn appearance of the communications army, the two smiled, and Selov said, "In fact, with our current distance, a surprise attack in the Southern Cluster can become history."

"That's right, Comrade National Defense Commissioner." General Ivanov, the commander of the Southern Cluster, replied confidently. The entire Southern Cluster killed more than 340 people in the attack on Constantinople. The losses of the Airborne Army were similar. They killed more than 5,000 Turkish soldiers and captured more than 65,000 people. Now these prisoners of war are being detained by the Greek Defense Forces, and the Greeks like this kind of work very much.

"Just do as we plan, I'll talk to the Chief of Staff of the Greek Defense Forces." Selov put down the red pen in his hand and threw it on the map. The remaining enemies in Constantinople have been cleared. As for the eastern battlefields, the three commanders of the North Caucasus and the Transcaucasus Military Region are in command, and the headquarters is still in Erwin.

Compared to Selov's simple consideration of how to win over the Greek Wehrmacht, hoping that the other party would help him drive out the Turks. The Kremlin's considerations are more comprehensive. Constantinople's conquest is certainly gratifying, but it is also difficult to deal with it.

Now this problem is facing everyone. Theoretically, according to Russian tradition, this should of course be directly incorporated into the Soviet Union and announced the Mediterranean strategy that lasted for hundreds of years has come to an end. But from the perspective of wining over Greece, if Greece can join the Warsaw Pact, handing over Constantinople to Greece is also an option.

Russia claims to be the third Rome, but it still doesn't seem very reasonable compared to Greece. Moreover, religions in the Soviet Union have always been suppressed, and the proportion of Orthodox Christians in Greece is the highest. What if Greece makes a territorial claim for Constantinople?

"Let me just say that Constantinople must not be given as a gift to Greece in exchange for support of action. Any support is unreliable, as is Yugoslavia and Albania. Only we can trust us." Sherepin, the President of the Supreme Soviet, was the first to stand up and oppose, "It is okay to talk about anything, and let our navy help Greece merge the island of Cyprus, but it is impossible to talk about it only by Constantinople."

"Chairman Serepin's words make sense, and I mean that," Ustinov said, "We have paid the losses of seven hundred people killed and more than four thousand injured. After we seized Constantinople, we gave them to the Greeks without saying a word. If the matter spreads, it will be difficult for the soldiers to recognize them. If the soldiers are dissatisfied with the national policies, it is definitely not a good thing for the central authority. We should take care of the sentiment of the soldiers."

"Don't talk about Constantinople's affairs. This is ours. The city seized by the Soviet soldiers fighting bloody battles with their lives. We cannot let the soldiers' blood flow in vain." Brezhnev waved his hand and took out another statement and said, "Look at it, this is the words of President Ford."

You should know that based on the time when the war began, the war has just been going on for twenty-four hours. The Soviet Union launched a heavy blow with more than ten years of preparation and conquered more than a dozen Turkish cities, including Constantinople, within one day, and the coastal cities were swept by the Soviet Union. But what Brezhnev also did not expect was that it was almost impossible to react in the first few days, but the result surprised him. The United States actually made a counter-action in one day.

"What does this letter mean? Let us withdraw from Turkey's territory immediately?" Xie Lieping snorted coldly and said slowly, "For more than fifty years since the October Revolution, no country has commanded us in this tone. This has almost made us surrender unconditionally, and I personally cannot accept it."

"No one will accept it, especially our Soviet Union will not." Brezhnev sat firmly on Diaoyutai, and Selov completed the plan to capture Constantinople. If he, the general secretary, could not be saved, God knows what would happen to the Soviet Union.
