Soviet Union 1991

Text Chapter 284 You Can’t Afford to Lose

The second update is over

It is not a glorious thing for Demirel to request to visit the Kremlin. The Turkish president who was still confident a while ago has become a stray dog ​​in the blink of an eye. There is even a story of Henry IV kneeling down to Gregory VII in the snow and admitting his mistakes. People can't help but connect the owner of the Kremlin with the powerful pope in the Middle Ages. It indirectly proves that the neighboring countries that offended the Soviet Union did not have a good end. From Poland to Turkey, these countries that had disputes with the Soviet Union could only tremble in front of the giant claws of the red polar bear.

After Demirel arrived in Moscow, he happened to welcome a rare heavy snow. On the way to the Kremlin, the gray weather and the deep snow piled up made him more uneasy and gloomy. This Kremlin negotiation is destined to be difficult. At least the Soviet Union has a hundred ways to make things difficult for the Turkish president.

However, what surprised Demirel was that Moscow did not make too much of an obstacle. Instead, it generously welcomed Demirel's arrival. They arranged the meeting place in St. George Hall, which is now a world that journalists cannot enter.

When Yanaev appeared, Demirel was obviously a little nervous. This expressionless and tall general secretary gave Demirel an invisible sense of oppression, as if he was controlling a huge army in his hands and could crush him to pieces at any time. Yanaev walked in front of Demirel, extended his hand politely, and said without any emotion, "President Demirel, welcome to Moscow."

The latter sentence of welcome to Moscow was almost murderous. Demirel swallowed his saliva, and the previous arrogance and arrogance all disappeared, leaving only a sincere awe for the man in front of him. He stretched out his hand a little stiffly and said slowly, "Hello, General Secretary Yanaev."

After the two sat down, they talked about the recent fighter shooting down incidents in the Soviet Union and Turkey. Turkey changed its previous tone. They claimed that this incident was a pure misunderstanding. They thought that the fighter jet that invaded their airspace was about to fight, so the Turkish fighter jet that happened to be patrolling the border shot it down directly.

Demirel's subtext is that I have already stated that this is a misunderstanding, and you should stop on the Kurdish issue, right?

This statement can fool a three-year-old child. But it seems a bit obvious when said in such an occasion. Yanaev just sneered in his heart and watched Demirel's every move with a cold eye. Misunderstanding? You let me lose a fighter jet, this is called a misunderstanding?

Yanaev interrupted Demirel's speech, "Excuse me, President Demirel. If a fighter jet is shot down as a misunderstanding, then there will be no national political conflict. So the Soviet Union will not use the term misunderstanding to explain this accident."

"If this is a misunderstanding, can the Soviet Union's war against Turkey and its attack on Istanbul after the war be described as a misunderstanding? Can we also describe our dropping of a tactical nuclear weapon on Ankara as a misunderstanding?"

Hearing what Yanaev said, the Turkish president was sweating profusely. He had seen the madness and recklessness of the Soviets. Now the suppression of civil unrest has exhausted Demirel. Wouldn't the thirteenth Russo-Turkish war make Turkey lose even the last Black Sea Strait?

"That's not what we mean, General Secretary Yanaev. It's just that we think this incident is purely a misunderstanding between the two sides. Really..." Demirel was so anxious that he was a little incoherent.

At this time, Yanaev took out a Turkish daily from behind. Throw it in front of Demirel, "Misunderstanding? What the newspaper said is also a misunderstanding? Defense Minister Sabahatin said that they could capture the Soviet Union within a few weeks. Is such an arrogant statement still a misunderstanding?"

This time Demirel really wanted to cry without tears. The newspaper with black and white words could not erase the evidence. He never thought that Yanaev would confront Demirel so stubbornly on this matter. It seems that the biggest mistake Turkey has made is to provoke the red polar bear next to it.

"If you mess around, you will pay the price sooner or later. When you offended the Soviet Union, you should have thought about the consequences of today." Yanaev's expression became gloomy. In Demirel's opinion, it was worse than the windy and snowy weather in October.

"Since the Turkish president was so arrogant to think that you could occupy Moscow, the Kurdish unrest is also a price you paid. The Turkish president does not really want to see Kurdistan establish a new regime in the Middle East. A new country, right?"

"Of course not, I hope General Secretary Yanaev can show mercy and stop aid to the Kurds." Seeing that the other party finally got to the point, Demirel hurriedly wanted to solve this problem while the iron was hot.

"Of course we have no problem with the Kurds. But you should go to Syrian President Assad to negotiate, instead of arguing with us, right? It's not the Kurdistan Workers' Party that we aided." Yanaev deliberately pretended to know nothing in front of Demirel and kicked the ball to Assad.

Just when Demirel was at a loss what to do, Yanayev gave him a shot in the arm, "Of course. If we can reach a common agreement on the issue of the Black Sea Strait, maybe we can reach a consensus on the issue of the Kurds." Find a common topic." After saying that, Yanayev smiled at him in a friendly way, as if this was just an insignificant topic.

Upon hearing Yanayev's reply, Demirel's eyes widened and he looked at Yanayev in front of him as if he were looking at a terrifying devil.

After beating around the bush for so long, the Black Sea Strait is the fundamental interest of the Soviet Union. At this time, Demirel has almost no leverage to reject the Soviet Union. He pursed his lips and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Yanayev.

Yanayev continued to say provocatively, "If we can't reach an agreement on the Black Sea Strait issue, then I think all subsequent issues will be worthless. If your country is not convinced, you can proceed directly to the third issue. Thirteen wars, the Soviet Union can fight them anyway.”

After saying that, he added very arrogantly, "As for whether you can afford to lose or not, I don't know." (To be continued.)
