Chapter 730 Malacca confrontation
"Why does Brezhnev have this image now?" Selov had a Japanese feeling. The Soviet Union resisted the pressure and attacked Turkey. Western Europe actually believed that there were people within the Soviet Union who did not want to fight. Even if such people exist, it seemed that Kosykin, chairman of the Council of Ministers, was it more appropriate? Without Brezhnev's nod, would this decision to attack NATO countries be so easy? Just kidding...
"It is because the unemployment rate is too high in the economic crisis and the Soviet army is too strong to fight at this stage, so I created a general secretary who wants to ease out of thin air to comfort the people of my country?" This argument must be intentional. When the other party gets out of the economic crisis and reduces one-tenth of the unemployment rate, Brezhnev will naturally be classified as the enemy.
Selov felt that his ideas made sense. If he couldn't do it, he would confuse the other party and slow down the opponent's attack. If he became stronger, he would deal with the other party. It was a normal choice. The only difference is that the Soviet Union did this in the 1960s and the United States did this in the 1970s. Once NATO countries get rid of the economic crisis, the moment of counterattack will naturally come.
The city closest to this Soviet engineer army is Mosul, an important city in northern Iraq. In this historical time and space, Mosul did not fall into war for too long as later generations under the joint attack of Iraqi ** and Kurds.
"Dad, more than 5,000 remains were found in a valley twenty kilometers away. It should be one of the concentration camps that detained Armenians at the time. According to the local Kurdish old man, there should be thirty to forty such concentration camps along the banks of the Euphrates River..." At this moment, a young anti-counterfeiting worker came in to report.
"I know, dig immediately to see if I can find clothes that prove to be Armenians. The temperature here is relatively dry and it has not been long enough to be investigated. It should be not difficult. I will go and see it in two hours." Selov held the big cake in his left hand and a file in his right hand, and replied with a moment of stuttering. He was still not very used to the name of father...
He never thought the pancake was so delicious. It seemed that he could not live the life of the nomadic people. As for the files in his hand, it was the list of anti-counterfeiting by the State Administration of Interior of Mosul. After all, Iraq, a new socialist country, still needs guidance from the Soviet Union. The anti-counterfeiting cadres who were transferred from various countries to support Iraq's construction finally suppressed those religious elements the year before yesterday.
"Before leaving Iraq, all anti-counterfeiting workers from all countries said that the anti-counterfeiting list and anti-counterfeiting files were destroyed. This order is now implemented immediately. As for the missing people, it is naturally the crime of religious elements. They are judged immediately and then shot. In this way, the current situation is completely different. I am not a person who is abusing children." Selov put down his phone and smiled. Now the Eurasian continent has been completely cut off by the Soviet Union, and the situation is really completely different.
Since conquering Constantinople, there is no road in the entire Eurasian continent that can not be influenced by the Soviet Union. This is a decisive victory. Even if the Soviet Union's national strength is not as strong as the United States, it can still gain the upper hand in the Eurasian continent with its geographical advantages.
"The Americans want to talk to us about withdrawing troops from Constantinople? Protecting the integrity of Turkey's sovereignty? What confidence do they think I will agree?" Brezhnev asked with a smile on his face. At this time, his smile was a little humane. He was already happy by the wishful thinking of the Americans. "If I do this, I believe the Americans will not be happy. Someone will be happy to issue an order on my behalf and declare war on the United States!"
"I also think we should not withdraw our troops from Constantinople, but my duty must make me tell my comrades about the Americans' ideas, even if this idea is very unrealistic." Foreign Minister Gromiko said silently. As for the relationship between Brezhnev and Serepin, he had not heard of it just now and would not ask.
"When will we hold a military parade in Constantinople? How long will it take to clean up there?" Central Secretary Kirilenko asked Andropov, who was very interested in this question.
"I have contacted Bulgaria and Romania, and the two countries are willing to send engineers to help us clean up." Andropov replied plainly, "The major banks and commercial institutions in Constantinople have been seized, with about 300 million US dollars in cash and 28 tons of gold. The specific list has been handed over by the KGB." As he spoke, Andropov sent the list to Brezhnev.
"I knew Yula would definitely not forget this, and leave it to Comrade Kosykin." Brezhnev looked at it with great interest, and then put it aside. He was the general secretary of the Soviet Union. Although money is worthy of his heart, he would not think about fighting the spoils. Moreover, as Turkey's largest city and the strongest economic city, there are many good things in it.
The Greek Wehrmacht expelled the Turks and only asked the Turks to bring their clothes they could carry. As for fixed assets such as cars and houses, they have been theoretically confiscated. In the KGB plan, these real estates should be used to compensate the Soviet soldiers who died on the battlefield. In the entire military operation against Turkey, the Soviet soldiers have killed 1,100 people so far, which is a high price. As for how many people have been killed by Türkiye indiscriminately bombardment, who would care about the losers?
Brezhnev had no objection to this kind of handling, which was very good. The Soviet Union would accept the city. At the same time, Constantinople could also solve the Soviet housing problem. This was all in vain. As the General Secretary, he was naturally very happy.
The same is true for Kosicin. Constantinople, which has four million people, is the best economic area in Turkey. Even if it is bombed, it is no problem to install two million people. The Soviet Union can find a way to solve the population and housing in some areas.
"I mean, to withdraw some Kazakhs." Sherepin, the chairman of the Supreme Soviet, immediately thought of the question, "The population structure of Central Asia should be changed. We can consider moving a group of ethnic minorities in Constantinople."
Sherepin is also a great Russian on the issue of nation, but the difference between him and Brezhnev is that Brezhnev is more obscure and more direct. He always insists on Russia's leadership and is only himself in the entire Central Presidium. The national issue of the Soviet Union is managed by the Supreme Soviet, which is exactly the issue of Sherepin's management.
With such a Supreme Soviet President, you can imagine who the Soviet Ethnic Academy is now. The proportion of Russia in the Soviet Union is increasing, although this process is relatively slow. Another issue is also worth noting, which is the issue of ethnic regions, which removes ethnic groups from some regions and changes their living environment.
Brezhnev suddenly remembered that the General Political Commissar seemed to have mentioned this issue. Since this is the case, I will take this opportunity to fill in some people to Constantinople. I believe that there should be no unwillingness to the people of Central Asia and the Caucasus. It is not to let them dig potatoes in Siberia. Of course, most of the people in Constantinople should be Russians.
The joy of Constantinople made the atmosphere of the Central Presidium very harmonious, at least happier than Selov, who was archaeologically experiencing the Euphrates River. The Soviet Union would not spit out the meat that was eaten in his mouth. This was originally a fixed impression of Europe and the United States of America about the Soviet Union. Since this is the case, the Soviet Union really did this.
At this moment, the red phone on the table rang, "I am Brezhnev, please say..." Brezhnev picked up the phone and said gently, but his face immediately turned into a serious look.
"The Pacific Fleet blocked the return of the US Seventh Fleet in the Strait of Malacca?" Brezhnev, who put down the phone, said to the others, "The location is in the Strait of Malacca, and the two sides are facing each other."
The Strait of Malacca is an important golden waterway in the world. Anyone with a little common sense knows that such a narrow waterway is not suitable for combat and will also limit the combat capabilities of the US global navy. But at this time, the entire Strait of Malacca was tense, and the US Navy and the Soviet Red Navy were far away at both ends of this golden waterway, and neither was ready to take a step back.
The matter is very simple. The US Seventh Fleet was preparing to enter the Arabian Sea to support Turkey, while the Soviet Red Navy followed behind the US Navy to intimidate. However, yesterday the Soviet Union announced that it would stop its punishment operations against Turkey and was preparing to withdraw its troops. The Second Fleet carrying the US Marine Corps and the Seventh Fleet that was preparing to support received orders to return the same way, especially the Seventh Fleet. Asia is not at peace now, and the Seventh Fleet needs to take charge of Japan.
The US Navy's Seventh Fleet, which had just passed the Strait of Malacca, was about to turn around and return, and just ran into the Soviet Red Navy that began to enter the Strait. Neither the two largest navy in the world were ready to make way, so the confrontation occurred.
After communication that has nothing to do with you and nothing to do with me, the US Seventh Fleet and the Soviet Pacific Fleet reached an agreement on a certain issue, that is, the other party must give way and don’t even talk if they want to back down.
At the US base in Singapore, fighter jets have taken off and are constantly hovering in the sky, and the Soviet surface-to-ground missiles transported from Indonesia have also been in place, making the confrontation tense.
"Commander Sberidonov, we can guarantee that once war begins, the US Seventh Fleet will be sent to the seabed." Admiral Sberidonov nodded coldly.
"I don't believe that the Soviets really dare to go against us at sea?" Admiral John Daniel, the commander of the Seventh Fleet, gritted his teeth with a gloomy face, "Are the Soviets all crazy? Are they ready to challenge us at sea?" (To be continued.)
