Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 727: settle the arabs
Even the U.S. 7th Fleet maintains the highest vigilance against the huge fleet behind and elusive. In terms of time, the Soviet Pacific Fleet is a few days earlier than when the U.S. 7th Fleet left the port. The two fleets headed south from the East China Sea one after the other. This situation is very dangerous.
The Soviet Pacific Fleet is the second largest fleet after the Northern Fleet, including more than 90 cruisers, destroyers, amphibious assault ships, and main battleships, and a huge fleet of more than 500 ships of various types. Fan-shaped not far behind the US Seventh Fleet, this time the Pacific Fleet dispatched in full force, so that the Seventh Fleet, which is behind the United States, raised a feeling of thorns in the back.
"It has entered the South China Sea area, with the US air base in the Philippines to the east, but also our anti-ship missile position in Vietnam to the west, and continuing south is the US air base in Malaysia and our anti-ship missile position in Indonesia. , it can be guaranteed that once the current distance begins, we will also have the ability to send the Seventh Fleet to the bottom of the sea.”
Cruisers have always been the core ship of the Soviet Navy, with the most complete weaponry and electronic command and telemetry systems. When sailing in the ocean, Soviet cruisers have always been the most important force for escorting Soviet nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers. Moreover, the cruiser was also a representative of the technological development level of the Soviet Navy at that time. Almost all the ship-borne weapons of the Soviet Navy in every era could be found on the naval cruisers at that time.
The first Soviet Kyiv-class ship has just been launched and is being tested in the Baltic Fleet, but subsequent ship construction has been accelerated, and the second Kyiv-class will be equipped with the Soviet Pacific Fleet as the flagship. Now the flagship of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, is a guided missile cruiser.
"Bite the Americans and never let the American fleet out of our sight." Admiral Spilidonov, commander of the Pacific Fleet, gave the order calmly. The strength of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, compared with the rival US Pacific Fleet, has an absolute advantage in numbers. With the support of nearby countries, Admiral Spiledonov felt that the fight would never allow the United States to take advantage.
Many ships of the Pacific Fleet are equipped with SS-N-12 missiles, which is the basalt anti-ship missile in NATO speculation. The anti-ship missile has a range of 550 kilometers, which is the distance between the US Seventh Fleet and the Soviet Pacific Fleet. The anti-ship force of the Soviet Pacific Fleet was absolutely sure to sink the opponent.
In fact, the Soviet Pacific Fleet can find supply locations in all countries along the route, such as Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam, Jakarta in Indonesia, Kolkata in India, Basra in Iraq, and South Yemen, Egypt and so on. As long as the Black Sea shipyard can continue to work, it is not very difficult for the Soviet Union to suppress a seventh fleet with its current geographical advantage.
"This kind of mutual containment will take a long time, and Syria and Turkey should stop talking about each other. President Assad believes that he is also dissatisfied with this kind of battle. It is also a battle. The southern group conquered Constantinople in one day. Syria The army is still staring at Cointreau with Turkey, but it's not without gain, right? Those three provinces are real benefits." Serov put down the newspaper and said, "It's been too long, the war should be over. "Greece is preparing for a general attack on Cyprus, and I personally think that Syria's general attack on Turkey should start at the same time."
"Tell General Assad that the Soviet Air Force has a wide range of firepower coverage, but be careful, and it is better not to accidentally hurt allies." Serov, who recently defended Greece's expulsion of Turkey and defended the Soviet attack on civilian targets, was published in Western newspapers The reputation has changed from minus 10,000 to minus 20,000. It doesn't matter, he himself doesn't care.
Who cares what his enemies think, he doesn't know that the whole of Western Europe is in economic crisis? Even during the war, Brezhnev and Kosygin also hosted several delegations in Moscow, including Italians, French, and Federal Germans. Those who scolded the Soviet Union were scolded the Soviet Union, but in order to relieve their own economic crisis, They will not pay attention to the life and death of the Turks.
Capitalists, of course, hate communism, but they don't hate communism money. The problem now is that the Soviet Union has money, but Western Europe does not. In order to get rid of this world economic crisis as soon as possible, the Western European countries may be able to bend and stretch, and kneel down to the Soviet Union first, so as not to delay future confrontation. Similarly, the current Soviet Union's war against Turkey does not delay the desire of Europe and the United States to ease up with the Soviet Union.
An early solution to this scourge and ending the war will also reduce the pressure on the Soviet Union, which is necessary. The Soviet Southern Theater Command in Erwin quickly contacted the Greek Defense Forces and the Syrian government forces, expressing the Soviet Union's desire to eliminate Turkey's stubbornly resisting military forces as soon as possible, thus ending the war.
The plan of attacking Turkey itself is to move in and out quickly. Once it is protracted, no matter how low the intensity of the war is, it will definitely bring casualties. It took the Soviet Union a week to kill the Afghan government army, but the war in Afghanistan exceeded ten years. This is of course because the Soviet Union only invested 100,000 people, but it is also undeniable that the Soviet Red Army in modern society cannot play the expansion model of imperial Russia, and the Soviet Union, which is struggling with public security, is in a state of disarray.
"Tomorrow is the first week of the attack on Turkey, I don't care what you do, the war should be over. If you have to use the atomic bomb to solve the problem, I will send a message to Moscow right now. Use the atomic bomb to send the Turkish army to hell, Let’s talk, what’s the plan. How many days can it be completed?” Shelov said angrily, “Similar to the cooperation of many countries in this kind of operation, the biggest problem is not ourselves, but what you think can make Syria suffer more casualties, so that Let us reduce the losses, but if the war does not end immediately, I will not lose much from the frontal battlefield, have you considered the matter of being attacked by a small group of militants?"
"Knowing the commander, we will immediately deal with the Turks!" As Serov said, the Turkish army on the front line in Syria has not yet been killed. Either the Soviet Union cannot do this, or the general headquarters in Erwin thinks that the southern front line The Turkish army is a matter of the Syrian government forces.
"As soon as possible, I'm going to Iraq soon!" Naturally, he went to Iraq to find the remains of the Armenian massacre, and the Kurdistan region in a broad sense, including parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria. Most of them were in Turkey. The place of exile in Armenia at that time was not actually in Turkey, but was established in Iraq and Syria. The current governments of Syria and Iraq are the two most pro-Soviet governments in the Arab world. At the same time, the Kurdish People are also the problem of the two countries. In this regard, both countries have their own small thoughts, so they are very active in the Soviet Union's investigation of the Armenian massacre, and they are eager to find evidence to spray some dirty water on the Kurds.
Turkey is a peaceful country after all. The Soviet Union’s attack on Turkey caused criticism in some Arab countries. He went to Iraq this time to show his attitude and resolve some of the hostility of the Arabs to the Soviet Union.
"Who in this world really wants the Arabs to be united? No, even in the Soviet Union, I honestly say that there are only a few people who hope that the Arabs will be restored to the tolerance and civilization of the Arab Empire. But I know that the original Arabs It’s not like it is now. And it has always given support to Arab nationalism.” Shelov said after meeting the general secretary of the Iraqi Communist Party, Hussein al-Aradi, and other members of the Central Committee, “For the current anti-Soviet undercurrent in Iraq, the Soviet Union Already known, but I believe this will not delay the friendship between the Soviet Union and Iraq."
"We don't like religion, and the culture of the Arabs is not just about religion. Is the great Arab empire nothing but religion? I believe this is not the case. Many critics think that the Iraqi government, which is governed by the Communist Party today, is losing the tradition of the Arabs. , I have to say that the changes in Iraq at this stage are not Westernization, nor Sovietization, but modernization, and modernization does not belong to any country to define."
"For Arab countries, including Iraq, I must stress that this is different. Many Christians in Arab countries, including Syria, Egypt and Iraq, are living well, and fundamentally this is not a religious issue. The Soviet Union The struggle with Turkey is a matter of our two countries, and the investigation into the Armenian genocide has nothing to do with the Orthodox Church and the Church of Peace. Finally, I want to say." Shelov cleared his throat and said, "I personally like to see Arab countries united, like ancient Arab countries. The Empire is so tolerant, civilized and confident, thank you comrades..."
The next day, Shelov’s words were published in the Iraqi Communist Party newspaper Progress, and were quickly reprinted by the Syrian Arab Ba’ath Party newspaper Revolution, and appeared in many Arab countries at the same time. His rhetoric amounts to an endorsement of Arab nationalism advocated by Egypt, Syria and Iraq, and South Yemen.
Soon the five Arab countries of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Libya, and South Yemen responded positively to the Soviet Union, saying that this was a dispute between the Soviet Union and Turkey, and that the Arabs should not take a stand on this matter. The territorial disputes are plundered by Turkey with the face of imperialism, and the Arabs should support Syria without reservation. Syrian President Hafez al-Assad also pointedly said, "The recent anti-Soviet remarks in the Arab world cannot be ruled out as being spread by some hostile forces to provoke the long-standing friendly relations between the Soviet Union and the Arab world."
