Chapter 740 The situation of NATO

,.

"From then on, Greece and the Soviet Union will be an unbreakable alliance. Greece made wise decisions and saw the trends in today's world first!" The two goblets touched each other and made a crisp sound. Selov said with some meaning to General Constantine Gene, Chief of Staff of the Greek Defense Forces.

"Of course, the Soviet Union is the most powerful military force in the world." General Constantine Gene's words were compliments. Turkey, which has been pressing over Greece for only a week, was actually wiped out. He had heard this shock from the Greek officer who was about to leave at NATO headquarters. Even the NATO headquarters was not an opponent, which could only strengthen Greece's confidence in leaving.

"We not only have the most powerful fully mechanized army in the world today, but more importantly, we still have ideals." Selov ignored it and looked at the dance party in the venue. Today, we can kill Turkish Soviet soldiers in one week. These people once had a unified term: the proletariat. When consciousness and form turn into guiding ideology, the hungry, oppressed, trembling lower-level workers picked up the weapons in their hands. They became the most fanatical army and formed an extremely efficient regime. They developed consciousness and form, they formed bases, formed political parties, formed a state, formed a coalition, and the great alliance of Soviet Socialist Republics.

"We should have won, there is no reason." Selov drank the red wine in the glass bit by bit. He liked this redness, which represents both revolutionary ideals and human blood. Every person who is overwhelmed by the weight of life at the bottom of society, when you face painful hunger, high housing prices and education, ubiquitous neglect and ridicule, you should remember the meaning of the sickle and hammer flag. Everyone is born equal, and ** will definitely be realized.

People with a brain should come to the correct conclusions whether the reforms in Europe and the United States are obtained by the Socialists' wishes and protests, or the four million mechanized troops of the Warsaw Pact.

"I have invited President Karamanlis to celebrate this great victory in the form of a military prosecutor in Constantinople." Brezhnev raised his wine glass and said, "Cheers, comrades, friends of Greece."

"Cheers, bang..." Everyone present drank the wine in the glass and raised their glasses to greet General Brezhnev and President Karamanlis. The Soviets and Greeks present put aside their doubts and began to talk.

During the conversation, there were many concerns about whether the Soviet Union would interfere in Greece's economic and political system in the future. This issue had been discussed within the Soviet Union long before the cocktail party. Taking Yugoslavia as an example, the Soviet Union did not hide its dissatisfaction with Yugoslavia, but the Soviet Union only put pressure on public opinion. The Soviet Union did not do anything to Yugoslavia, nor did it to Greece.

"Greece's military system is naturally consistent with the Warsaw Pact, but this is not a bad thing. The US military system is only suitable for themselves, and our Soviet system can adapt to most countries. If Greece fights a Vietnam War, the Greek Air Force will be dispatched for one month, and Greece will probably go bankrupt." Selov and Ustinov are also communicating with the generals of the Greek Defense Forces. In the future, both sides of the Warsaw Pact will be colleagues, so it is very normal to say hello and contact each other in advance.

"In fact, since this war, the external pressure of the Soviet Union has been relieved a lot. The military strength of the Warsaw Pact can be appropriately reduced, so that some Eastern European countries can reduce military expenditures. The same is true for some Eastern European countries. They can use the help of disarmament to retire some old-fashioned tanks." Ustinov knew that disarmament was coming soon, which was necessary. Eastern European countries also have active T34 tanks, which happened to be all retired this time, and were supplemented by new tanks, which could also allow the Soviet military industry to continue moving forward.

"What are the number of tanks in the Soviet Union? We have always had a rough estimate of the number when we were in NATO." General Constantine Gene asked. As a soldier, he was most interested in this issue, that is the specific strength of the Warsaw Pact.

"It's about 50,000 or 60,000 vehicles. This number changes every day. You can't give you specific numbers. There is also the Greek American tanks, which are not suitable for use as main tanks. They cannot meet the Soviet war standards and must be replaced when necessary." Selov is also preparing to send some people to communicate with the Greek Defense Forces and see how the NATO-standard military system operates. This is itself the KGB's job.

Compared with the joy of Greece, the Soviet Union, and even the entire Warsaw Pact countries, the entire NATO was in a terrible and miserable state. The huge victory of the Soviet Union was the huge failure of the entire NATO. Due to the improper operation of the Cyprus War, NATO lost almost the same two member states, and the combined 600,000 troops of the two countries in just one month.

The entire southern blockade was penetrated by the Soviet Union, and the defense line that prevented the Soviet Union from entering the Mediterranean no longer existed. The London Strait Convention and a series of later Strait Conventions against the Soviet Union all failed, and even Constantinople were seized by the Soviet Union. Because the Soviet Union sent troops to attack without mercy, NATO countries did not know what to do for a while.

Say that the Soviet Union violated the London Strait Convention? The Soviet Union has started war. How can the London Strait Convention be stopped? Then Türkiye was quickly defeated, and the London Strait Convention instantly became waste paper. It is too late to protest now.

The news of Greece joining the Warsaw Pact caused a great shock within NATO. Because the two major military groups themselves are NATO, the number of them, are inferior to NATO. The reason why they seem to be surrounding the Soviet Union is entirely because of Greece and Turkey, so they seem to have some advantages on the map.

But at the same time, NATO countries also know that the Soviet Union is a European country, while the United States is an American country. If the Soviet Union wants to start a war, it can start at any time. It will take time for the United States to mobilize troops from its homeland. When the US teams gather, it is hard to say whether Europe exists. In fact, the intention of the attack is on the opposite Warsaw Pact, and NATO's combat plan is based on defense.

Originally, NATO was the one who was at a disadvantage in terms of the number of soldiers and ground forces. Now that the Turkish army has been defeated, Greece joined the Warsaw Pact, the number of soldiers in NATO instantly decreased by 600,000. Because the Greek Defense Force entered the Warsaw Pact, the Warsaw Pact actually had an additional 200,000 troops. As one went up and down, this was an army of 800,000.

The simple calculation of this number is based on the Yugoslav People's Army not within the Warsaw Pact. The Yugoslav People's Army is the third largest armed force in the European socialist country. What is even more disadvantageous is that after the Soviet Union killed Turkey and was in the European direction, will the second major army group in the Caucasus be deployed in the European direction because of the disappearance of the Turkish threat? Judging from the number of troops sent by the Soviet Union this time, it is not weaker than the Western cluster stationed in Democratic Germany.

After such a comparison of scaring pants, all NATO member states found that NATO's strength has never been so imbalanced compared to the Warsaw Pact. The defense pressure of almost every NATO member state has become even greater with the end of Greece and Turkey.

"Anyway, Turkey and the Soviet Union have always been feuds, and it is impossible to invest in the Warsaw Pact. Why didn't we support Greece at the beginning? Now, the number of soldiers on the opposite side is one million more than ours. Our Prime Minister has just stated again that once a powerful enemy invades, he will consider using nuclear weapons first. This is equivalent to telling the Warsaw Pact that we can't beat you..." After a long silence, a British general accused him dissatisfied.

"This is a mistake in the Americans' judgment. Didn't you British then say there is no problem? Now, when we face the Soviet Union's fully mechanized army, the only thing we can do is to use nuclear bombs as landmines and detonate them on our own territory. Don't you think of Federal Germany this way?" A German official sneered, "What do you take on international responsibilities? I hope that Federal Germany will expand the Defense Forces to a scale of 700,000 to help you gain time for retreat."

"This accusation is meaningless now. We should still unite and formulate a defense combat plan!" The Dutch officer coughed and said softly, "The joining of the Greek Defense Forces has reduced the pressure on the southern front of the Soviet Union from the Balkans to the Middle East, including Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. The future confrontation seems to be more intense."

"We should find an opportunity to get the French back again. Without France, we cannot expand our potential anymore." Someone put forward such an opinion.

"French people? The French are almost kidnapped by the Algerians. The entire Algerians only listen to the Algerian Workers' Party, because the Warsaw Pact supported Algeria's independence ten years ago, and Algerians generally have a good impression of socialism. France returns to NATO and must first make Algeria independent. The skirmishes in Algeria have been continuing. If France really returns, the second Algerian War of Independence will break out soon."

Also, France itself does not produce oil, but Algeria has oil resources. In the context of the world economic crisis, the French will make Algeria independent? In the face of the economic crisis, various countries have their tricks to deal with it. The Federal Republic of Germany uses the largest population and industry in Western Europe to resist, the United Kingdom is developing North Sea oil, and France relies on Algeria's oil operation. As for the Italians, Italy is preparing to talk about business with the Soviets.
