Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 704: shock the enemy
"According to the plan, the troops will be used in the North Caucasus Military Region, Transcaucasus Military Region, Osad Military Region, already stationed in Romania, and the subordinate troops are about 450,000. Attack from the east and west, the main goal is to occupy Constantinople Regions, and other targets are secondary targets." Marshal Grechko said simply.
The Osad Military Region has two armies, twelve tank divisions and motorized infantry divisions. The two armies are the 14th Red Banner Budapest Army and the 32nd Red Banner Army. The subordinate Red Banner Budapest Artillery 55th Division - Guards Red Banners Virihe Airborne 98th Division - Guards Red Banner Krivorog Motorized Infantry Training 92nd Division - Logistics Guard 234th Division - Reserve Motorized Infantry Division 259th - Reserve Motorized Infantry Division 273rd Division. - 126th Red Banner Gorlovka Motorized Infantry Division - 157th Niman River Motorized Infantry Division - 28th Guards Red Banner Kharkov Motorized Infantry Division - Guards Red Banner Kramatorsk Motorized Infantry Division 59th Division - Guards Red Flag Nikolayev Motorized Infantry 86th Division - Hongqi Kyiv Motorized Infantry 180th Division.
The North Caucasus Military Region has only five tank divisions and motorized infantry divisions because of the disarmament. The Transcaucasus Military Region has not been affected because it is on the border. It has 14 tank divisions and motorized infantry divisions. The three military regions participating in the war can use a total of 30 divisions. One division, plus the Soviet cluster in Romania on the west side, this is the military force prepared for Turkey. These troops have 7,500 tanks, including Soviet main battle tanks such as T72, T54 and T64.
In terms of armor numbers, these tanks have nearly tripled the armored strength of the Turkish Army. As for the Soviet Air Force, Naval Infantry and Black Sea Fleet, they have not been included. As long as the Soviet Union has just started fighting, it is absolutely possible to achieve its goal in 20 days, and the Soviet Union does not want to destroy Turkey.
"As for the internal response, we have the Kurdish Communist Party. The Kurdish Communist Party has an armed force of nearly 10,000 people. The most important thing is that the Kurds in the entire Kurdistan region will not become a resistance on the eastern front. They eagerly hope that the Soviet Union will liberate them." Andropov talked about another issue, that is, the support the Soviet Union can get in Turkey.
Shelov excused, "In fact, there is another help, that is, the leader of the Kurdish autonomous armed forces in northern Iraq, General Mustafa. He has an armed force of 30,000 people. I believe that when he sees the hope of Kurdish independence, he will definitely go all out. As for the southern part of Turkey, it is Syria. There is a territorial dispute between the two countries. If Turkey is attacked, Assad will seize the opportunity and want to regain the lost territory. For Syria, that place is not small.”
Hatay Province, covering an area of more than 5,000 square kilometers, belonged to Syria forty years ago, when Syria was a French colony. In order to win over Turkey against Germany, France established the Hatay Republic under the manipulation, and incorporated Hatay into Turkey in a referendum the following year. So far, Syria has not given up its territorial claims. This is how the Alawites in Turkey came to be.
"It seems that the prospects are quite good." Hearing the analysis of several people, Brezhnev was relieved. The reason why he agreed is because of the support of several powerful figures. In terms of character, Brezhnev is willing to listen to other people's opinions first and then make a decision.
Andrei Gromyko, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union, of course knew the decision of the Central Presidium at this time, but in order to cover up the real intention of the Soviet Union, he just called on Turkey and Greece to solve the problem within the framework of the United Nations, hoping that the two countries can develop diplomacy Negotiate to stop the war and make peace.
Andrei Gromyko expressed his position for the Soviet Union, and his position also made the whole world feel relieved, especially the United States. In this rare NATO civil war, the United States is very afraid that the Soviet Union will use this opportunity to make a fuss. The calm of the Soviet Union makes the Americans relieved. If the Soviet Union is involved, the United States will be very entangled in the civil war between the two NATO members.
The Turkish people took to the streets in various cities at this time, chanting slogans to support the government's decisive decision-making, especially the news of the victory of the Turkish army, which made these people fascinated. The glory of the Ottomans has disappeared for too long, from a great Ottoman Empire that made the whole of Europe tremble, to the sick man of West Asia who has been deceived since it came in. The historical complex of the Turks has always been very serious. They have fallen harder than any other country. Turkey has lost 90% of its territory in its heyday.
If the Ottoman Empire still existed, most of the oil-producing areas in the world today are within the territory of Turkey, one can imagine how glorious it would be to be a Turk. It is precisely because of the continuous failure in modern times that the Turks are very supportive of the government's decisive intervention, and some young people even shouted that God is the greatest.
Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Bursa, Adana and other major Turkish cities, such demonstrations of support for the government continued, and among these frenzied crowds, some people remained calm. A man in his forties in a suit did not mix in, but returned home as usual, and his wife diligently helped the man take off his coat.
It can be seen that this very westernized Turkish woman is also a beautiful woman. Turkey is a country rich in beautiful women, and their appearance retains the essence of European and Asian races. A woman with a bumpy figure and a charming smile will enchant you and make your heart beat faster. , gives the impression that the demeanor is modest, reserved, and generous, without any arrogance.
This man's wife undoubtedly possesses these characteristics. What makes men especially satisfied is that Turkish women are very loyal, which is also related to peace religion. Although they have vigorously gone to religion since the reformation of Kemore, some traditions are still maintained. Once a woman gets married, she doesn't have to worry about when she will be green.
"Okay, I'll rest first, I'll read the newspaper for a while." The man smiled gently and walked to his small study while drinking coffee. This is his habit, which has been maintained for many years.
Skillfully turned on the receiver, adjusted the frequency, and a familiar voice appeared. The man listened to the radio while listening to the coffee, "This is the Radio Unity and Progress, the great achievements of the Soviet people..."
"The Black Sea is calm, and it is a very suitable place for tourism. On Sunday, people are bathing in the sun on the beach..." The spoon with coffee in the man's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and his face disappeared indifferently. He understood that the voice inside was a code word, that the country had really implemented its plan and was ready to attack Turkey.
After a long time, the man calmed down and said in a low voice after a long silence, "Walk with justice, sniff out and eradicate traitors."
"Order all the agents lurking in Turkey, confirm the black boxes in various places, and prepare to cause chaos before the arrival of the army. By the way, there is still no movement in Greece?" Serov in Lubyanka is stepping up the final preparations.
He is not worried about the logistics of the Caucasus region. The military supplies accumulated there are enough for the army to use for half a year, and his preparations for more than ten years have not been in vain. Of course, although the war has not been fought for a few days, the Turkish Air Force has created an unprecedented brilliant record in this war. The reconnaissance plane of the Turkish Air Force found a Greek destroyer fleet off the coast of Cyprus, consisting of several large destroyers. The Turkish Air Force immediately sent fighter jets to the Greek fleet with bombs. After fierce sea and air battles, the destroyer "Kokad Pei" was first sunk, and then the destroyers "Edad Pei" and "Marshal Fifcichakmak" were severely damaged, resulting in a total of 230 sailors. die.
The Turkish Navy, which was covering the landing of the army, first sent a congratulatory message. On the one hand, it congratulated the Turkish Air Force on its victory, and on the other hand, it said that these sunk warships belonged to the same country as your aircraft.
"Let's see if Greece can be brought in, let the disinformation department speed up its actions, incite populism to drive the military government out of power, and all disinformation must go straight to the softest part of the Greeks' hearts." Serov commanded indifferently, NATO In the direction of the Balkans in southern Europe, there are 200,000 Greek Defence Forces organized into 12 divisions, and 380,000 Turkish troops organized into 22 divisions.
According to the most optimistic considerations, Greece and Syria combined are stronger than Turkey on paper. In the best case, the Soviet Union does not need to do anything at all, as long as the Soviet Union finds the right time to pick peaches.
But Turkey belongs to a country whose ancestors have passed by. Even if its strength is slightly larger than Turkey, the Turks naturally have a certain psychological advantage in their hearts. Serov is really afraid that Greece and Syria will not be able to beat Turkey.
In terms of Damascus, Hafez Assad has already received a test from the Soviet Union. Because of the territorial dispute with Turkey, he is very supportive of the Soviet Union's idea of fishing in troubled waters in this NATO civil war, and even said that as long as the Greek Defense Forces do it, the Syrian army will definitely give it. Cooperate and attack Turkey.
Assad at this time, in front of his interests, decisively forgot that Turkey is also a country of peace. What brothers, all bullshit, when did the Arabs and the Turks become brothers.
In Athens, the capital of Greece, the people protested angrily that the military government did not dare to fight back against Turkey, and there was a lot of voices calling for the military government to step down. Serov just remembered a question, and went directly to the Kremlin to ask, "Thousands of the three military regions Shouldn't the command of seven hundred strategic and tactical nuclear weapons be given free rein by the Ministry of Defense?"
"Comrade Serov, are you going to fight a nuclear war?" Kirilenko, Secretary of the Central Committee, said as if I didn't want to talk to you.
"At least these tactical nuclear weapons should move with the army, and the best and worst preparations are always right." Serov said unmoved, "This can give our enemies a shock." Whether the enemy is shocking or not shocking Kirilenko You know, he has been shocked now. (To be continued~^~)
