Big Time 1958

  Italy's political structure can be said to be the country most similar to Western Europe and the United States, with an obvious two-party system. Although Italy has never called itself this, just as the United States has never called itself a two-party system. But the opposition between Italy and the Catholic Democratic Party is the most hated Communist Party in the United States. The appearance of neutrality between the United States and the Soviet Union makes the United States very annoyed.

   But because Italy and Yugoslavia are neighbors, the relationship between the two neighbors is very harmonious, and they are different from each other's camp, so the Soviet Union and the United States can only be regarded as not seeing, not seeing and not bothering.

  Compared to Italy's statement, France's attitude is only a little bit better. First of all, the French Communist Party and the Socialist Alliance first criticized the Soviet Union's offensive behavior, but then they believed that there was no evidence that the Soviet Union wanted to replicate the Turkish model in Western Europe. Once the war started, France would of course support NATO, but Turkey's problems were more complicated.

"Damn French..." President Ford snorted coldly with great dissatisfaction. The United States has always wondered if there is any deal between France and the Soviet Union behind the scenes. Since more than ten years ago, the Soviet Union has been expanding its influence in Africa. But it never took the initiative to touch the French sphere of influence, but instead concentrated on attacking the British colonial countries.

However, the United States has no evidence, and because of the discord between France and the Soviet Union during the Algerian War of Independence, it can only take this suspicion to heart and constantly call for NATO countries to unite. Behaviour is more perfunctory. Italy even took this opportunity to assist Greece with a loan, expressing that the hatred between Italy and Greece was written off in World War II.

   "Mr. President, the four major fleets of the Soviet Red Navy left the port, and the Soviet Union claimed that it was a normal fleet transfer." Defense Secretary James Rodney Schlesinger immediately said from the Pentagon's phone.

   "Understood, I hope the Soviet Union can respond to our pressure." President Ford said with a headache. In fact, he still has a question, that is, if a nuclear war breaks out, can the United States defeat the Soviet Union.

"The two aircraft carriers and amphibious assault fleet of the Second Fleet? What are you afraid of? If the United States really wants to go to war with us, does it still need the strength of the Second Fleet from the mainland? The United States' Sixth Fleet is in the Mediterranean Sea, why don't you come and try it? I don’t believe in the Mediterranean Sea, we can’t beat the Sixth Fleet.” Serov thought for a moment and understood that the same madmen in the US Pentagon and the Soviet Ministry of Defense were not sure of winning in a nuclear war. So I remembered the experience of the Cuban missile crisis twelve years ago, and used the navy that the United States is best at to create pressure.

   is also characterized by a slow transfer from the navy, giving the Soviet Union plenty of time to consider. However, the geographical environment of the two incidents is absolutely different. This time, the Soviet Army is the protagonist, and the US Navy cannot go ashore to fight no matter how strong it is. The United States' 27,000 nuclear bombs are not sure to defeat the Soviet Union's 20,000 nuclear bombs.

"Send the telegram to the domestic headquarters. The Cheka division has a day off in Bulgaria. We will officially operate tomorrow. Fortunately, the bridge across the sea in Constantinople has not been blown up. Our air force has done a good job." The seal of the chairman's order, Serov breathed a sigh of relief, and tomorrow he will let the 120,000 Greek Defense Forces start a deportation operation. All four million Turks around Constantinople were expelled.

   The second plan needs to be completed by engineers who are arriving from the interior of the Soviet Union. After a while, I will study it carefully. Just after the telegram was sent, the door of the office was pushed open, and the KGB logistics staff pushed in the dining cart and said, "Chairman, the king crab in the Arctic, the shrimp in the Arctic, the caviar in Azerbaijan, the winter wheat bread in Siberia, and the giant in the GDR. The sausages are all unloaded from the port, and one of our ocean-going fishing fleets has just docked."

"Corrupted and depraved capitalist life..." Serov shook his head and was about to eat lunch. At this moment, a humming sound came from outside the window. He was not too old, and he could hear that it was a person, a lot of people. The sound waves that can only appear when he makes a sound together, his complexion changes in a few seconds, he still holds an arctic shrimp in his hand, and his empty hand pushes the window open, listening to this kind of sound coming from all over his face calmly. .

Serov, who stood upright like a javelin by the window, slowly stuffed the unpeeled shrimp into his mouth. The whole process was very slow. If he got closer, he could clearly hear the shrimp shells being chewed in his mouth. chewing sound...

   Until the sound slowly stopped, standing by the window, he turned around and sat back in the chair. His appetite was still full, but the expression on his face was too serious when he was eating. The soldiers who came in with the dining cart always felt that this expression was a bit weird no matter how they looked at eating.

After a while, he put down the big glass in his hand, and Serov, who was wiping his mouth, told him to close the window, then picked up the phone on the table and said, "When the plan was officially implemented, all the damaged mosques were blasted, and none were damaged. Let’s burn down all the religious symbols and turn them into cultural palaces, libraries, museums, and even public toilets. No matter what, not a single mosque in the whole of Constantinople can be kept. I found it, be careful, I will remove you from your post. "

   For all religions, whether monotheistic or polytheistic, Serov treats all religions equally and without reservation. If there is a religion he likes to clear out the most, Peace Religion is not the first. In terms of backwardness, Hinduism is the first, and other religions at least superficially emphasize equality. However, there are no Hindu countries around the Soviet Union, and he would not bother to bother if it did not affect the Soviet Union. Peace religion is different. He could not allow such a place on Soviet soil.

   Shelov, who put down the phone, continued to write and draw on his report, picked up the phone from time to time to ask some questions, and kept a call with Erwin's Southern Theater Command to inquire about the progress of the eastern battlefield and the location of the Engineer Corps.

"I didn't expect that the city of Constantinople turned out to be the largest city where the Kurds gather. As it happens, I will charge you a little more interest to avenge Uncle Bagramyan's clan." In the investigation report, Shelov nodded coldly. It is right to investigate more, and you can always see a little unexpected gain from it. "Admiral Ivanov, the garrison of the southern cluster can be handed over to the Greek Defense Forces, we will evacuate to the west bank, and then we will just watch."

"Okay, but this is a handover of hundreds of thousands of people. It can't be completed in one day. I hope to wait a few days for action." After the war began, General Ivanov found that his immediate superior was simply fighting with It's like a race against time.

   Now that the situation in Constantinople has stabilized, this is not necessary. So direct comments.

"Okay! It seems that I am a little anxious." After hearing the other party's words, Serov suddenly realized that because he had been preparing for the plan to attack Turkey for too long, and because he valued it too much, this kind of concern was messed up. .

   He really shouldn't be anxious, are you afraid of missing the city when the city is down? After Admiral Ivanov put down the phone, he began to communicate with Admiral Konstantin Jean, Chief of the General Staff of the Greek Defense Forces, to discuss the issue of switching between the two sides.

After the confirmation of   , from the early morning of the next day, the Soviet southern cluster began to hand over the deployed positions to the Greek Defense Forces. At the same time, the news of the Greek Defense Forces and the Soviet army switching defenses also instantly reached Athens. Although there is no official news that the Soviet Union wants to return Constantinople to Greece, the Greek army once again set foot on Constantinople's apprentices. This news is enough to make everyone excited. The Greek capital Athens, the Greeks shouted indulgently Hooray, the image of the Greek and Soviet flags spread through the newspapers all over Western Europe.

"Although the Americans' tough stance and condemnation have continued, the carrier strike group and the amphibious assault group are coming, but the Americans' purpose may be to stop the Soviet Union. We have another week to continue the war. Make good use of this week. It is very important for us to completely destroy the confidence of the Turkish soldiers." Serov explained the reasons in detail in the telegram to Erwin.

The number of soldiers in the Warsaw Pact is higher than that of NATO. This is supported by the Soviet army. No one will think that the GDR can confront the Federal Republic of Germany. Similarly, Romania is not France, Czechoslovakia is not the United Kingdom, not to mention the NATO member than the Warsaw Pact. many member states.

  The Greek Defense Force is 220,000 people, and the Turkish army is 400,000 people. This is an army of 600,000 people. Now that the Soviet Union has defeated Turkey, it is temporarily guaranteed that the Greek Defense Forces are not the enemy, and may even be absorbed into the Warsaw Pact in the future. This entry and exit is not just a matter of 600,000 troops. No one may believe that Brezhnev is preparing to cut his troops after the military action in order to bridge the impact of the attack on Turkey. As an explanation to Western Europe.

  In this way, the Soviet Union will not have such a difficult task of shouldering about 70% of the military power of Huahua. At the same time, the quantitative advantage of NATO will be even more unbalanced. To maintain the balance, the United States must maintain its own military spending.

  The addition of 200,000 Greek Defense Forces, coupled with the reduced military strength of NATO, does not count the Kurdish army that the Soviet Union is going to support, reducing the number of Soviet soldiers and reducing the burden, there are many benefits.

Of course, this is the future. He has more important things to do now. The next morning, Serov announced to all the newspapers of the Warsaw Pact countries and some Western European newspapers, "The Soviet Union has decided to start an investigation into the truth of the Armenian massacre. Justice will come sooner or later. It will come, and the Soviet Union has the responsibility to investigate the truth about the slaughter of Armenians by Turkey during the First World War..."
