Soviet Union 1991

(First update)

Obviously Demirel will not take Yanayev's unforeseen warning to heart. From the perspective of Turkey, it is just like scratching the surface. The United States is about to help Turkey build an anti-missile system on its own soil because of its attack on the Soviet Union. Threat, in Demirel's view, let alone wanting to attack Turkey, the Soviet Union will still have to consider whether its long-range missiles can land on the soil of Istanbul or Ankara, even if it threatens Turkey.

However, what is surprising is that Yanayev did not take further suppression after issuing that statement. Instead, he fell silent and took no action. This also made Demirel even more convinced that the Soviet Union was just bluffing.

Demirel even held a small celebration party in the office of Defense Minister Sabahatin. He originally came to warn Sabahatin to be careful about the recent movements of the Russian army, but the other party just told him that the Soviet army not only failed to take action, but even patrolled the border as usual, they seemed a little cautious, as if they were deeply afraid of offending Türkiye. .

"The Soviet Union is just a seemingly powerful sick bear. They have no effect except roaring at us through the bars of the cage. Yanayev's protest is not even as good as a three-year-old child pointing at my nose. One punch." Demirel said proudly while chatting with the Minister of Defense. In his opinion, everything is currently under his control.

"Turkey will not be afraid of air attacks by Soviet fighter jets. Come on, whether it is Suiho or Mikoyan, our American fighter jets can shoot them down without exception." Defense Minister Sabahatin acted even more arrogantly, After defeating a Su-27 fighter jet, they arrogantly believed that the Soviet Union's military strength was nothing more than this.

Turkey also signed an order with the United States and urgently purchased a batch of Stinger missiles for anti-aircraft use from American military companies. Although it is somewhat unable to deal with fighter jets like the MiG-29 or Su-27, it is unable to deal with the Mi-24 Hind helicopter or the Su-27. 25 attack aircraft is more than enough.

Türkiye's courage comes from the support behind the United States and the upcoming anti-missile system, so he is not afraid at all of what the Soviet Union will do to him. Although President Demirel mistakenly believed that Turkey was not far behind the Soviet Union in strength, he also knew very well that Yanayev would not start a war because he did not want to be isolated from the world.

"Those words said by the General Secretary of the Soviet Union are just a means to appease the people. We have arranged everything and are waiting for the other party to fall into the trap. If the Soviet Union really has the guts to risk going against the whole world and invade Turkey, I will definitely These people will pay a heavy price," Demirel said.

Demirel gently placed the wine glass on the table. Now that the Minister of Defense no longer worries that things will develop in a direction that is unfavorable to him, Demirel's next path will be easy. Use measures such as blocking the strait to force the Soviet Black Sea Fleet to submit. At the same time, the tough Yanayev government once again made a fool of itself in front of the world. At least let the people around the world see clearly the incompetent face of this socialist country.

Although at the press conference. Defense Minister Sabahatin said directly in dialect, "Turkey will not be afraid of any threat from the Soviet Union, even an attack. Because we can push the army directly to Moscow within a week. Restore the glory of the Ottoman Empire!"

It was Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardnadze who engaged in a verbal spat with the Turkish Defense Minister. Faced with the other party's aggressive provocation, he only said a brief sentence. "Unfortunately, Hitler had the same idea as Defense Minister Sabahatin. As for the final outcome, I will not repeat the narrative."

Demirel obviously underestimated the terror of a superpower, because even when they are at their lowest, they are not a country that can be shaken by a few flies. So when Demirel was having a great chat with Defense Minister Sabahatin, he received bad news while sitting in his office.

A border guard post on the Turkish border was hit by an explosion. The border areas bordering Syria, Iraq and Iran were all attacked by unknown armed forces. They directly shot and killed the soldiers inside the posts, and then blew up the entire post. The whole process lasted less than a few minutes, and the technique was clean, quiet and fast, and looked like something done by special forces.

Syria, Iraq and Iran happen to be the three watchdogs trained by Yanayev himself. The Soviet Union also used insinuations to remind Türkiye that there are three Soviet military allies around you.

"What? You said that the military posts on the Turkish border were attacked by unknown armed forces?" Demirel couldn't believe his ears when he heard the news. In his opinion, this was the same as the Soviet Union's direct military attack on Turkey. The blows are equally unbelievable, but the difference is that one is a secret operation that is not recognized, and the other is an honest act of revenge.

As long as the Soviet Union does not admit it. Then Turkey can't do anything to Yanayev. Moreover, the attitude of the Soviet Union is very obvious. Even if Türkiye insists that it was the Soviet Union, it will not help.

"There were more than 20 casualties in total. Of course, this was a secret operation and we have no way of knowing who the other party is, but what can be confirmed is that the Soviet Union is the biggest suspect." Defense Minister Sabahatin was helpless. Not even two days after the celebration party, Türkiye suffered such a major blow.

After all, Turkey's methods were a little immature in front of the Soviet Union, and now the initiative of the whole situation fell into Yanayev's hands. Because if the Soviet Union's retaliatory methods are not handled properly, it is likely to provoke a war between the two countries.

"How about we take the same retaliatory methods? Since the Soviet Union dares to take military action on our territory, then he should be prepared to be retaliated." Demirel thought of tit-for-tat, retaliating with the same means.

Sabahating looked down on Demirel's naive methods. "Heh, President Demirel, do you think the Soviet Union will not strengthen border security after this incident? Maybe they are waiting for us to die. By then, Turkey will have a handle on the Soviet Union, and we will be more passive."

"It's not okay this way, it's not okay that way, what do you want me to do!" Demirel said angrily.

"Pull the United States in. If we want to play big with the Soviet Union, Turkey has no way except the United States." Sabahating said, "We will create trouble at the United Nations Conference and in the Black Sea Strait to make it difficult for the Soviet Union to move forward." (To be continued.)
