Soviet Union 1991

First update

Just after the riots in Ingushetia diverted the attention of the Moscow Central Committee, the United States began to play its second card in a hurry. ←,.That is Turkey, a neighboring country that has fought no less than ten wars with Russia. This is also one of the few important cards in Mario's hand. Although Turkey's unauthorized actions led to the United States' betrayal of its teammates, in order to fight against the Soviet Union, all the previous minor disputes can be put aside, not to mention that Turkey is also trying to join the European anti-missile system.

In front of the common enemy of Turkey and the United States, all the grievances between the two sides can be put aside. Moreover, there has been unrest in the Soviet Union recently. Political experts who study Kremlinology have found that Yanaev has not appeared in public for several days, and Yanaev's name is rarely mentioned in central newspapers such as the Moscow Daily and the Communist Party Daily. So they analyzed that after the unrest in Ingushetia, there must have been a big political earthquake in Moscow, so that the name of the top leader Comrade Yanaev disappeared from the newspaper headlines inexplicably.

But they forgot that all the information they received was sent out by newspapers controlled by the Soviet Union, which means that the intelligence obtained by political research experts of the Kremlin School around the world was a smokescreen released intentionally or unintentionally by the Soviet Union.

Yanayev was more patient than others. He now wanted to see clearly how many cards the United States still had in its hands. So when he heard that the United States suddenly increased the number of visits to Turkey, Yanayev believed that after the "appetizer dessert" in Ingushetia, President Mario was finally going to play the first card.

The plane landed at Istanbul's international airport. At this time, the alert of the entire international airport had been raised to the highest level, because the terrorist attacks of the Kurdistan Workers' Party in the east were becoming more and more frequent. Demirel did not want President Mario to encounter any emergencies at the airport.

President Mario got off the plane, looked at the welcoming crowd below, and waved. Turkey is the same country that Demirel brought to himself. If it were not for the existence of the Soviet Union, President Mario might even list Turkey as one of the objects of supporting terrorism, just like the current Iranian president, but after the Iranian king was overthrown, the importance of the Turkish alliance was highlighted.

Regarding Istanbul, Mario remembered some unreliable rumors. It is said that the current Soviet leader Yanayev is more arrogant than anyone else. He has always wanted to recover the city and change the name of Istanbul, which is full of halal flavor, to Constantinople of the Roman Empire. This alone can make people think of how scary Yanayev's ambition is. This also makes Demirel always worried about the Soviet Union's movements.

"President Mario, welcome to Turkey." Demirel personally went to the airport to welcome Mario's arrival. For him, he can introduce the United States as his political backing, so he doesn't have to worry about repeating the tragedy of being driven out of office in 1980 because of the incompetence of civilians in governing the country.

As for the previous selling of teammates in the United States? Demirel admitted that it was his own mistake that led to such an embarrassing situation. And he is more aware of the importance of pleasing the United States, otherwise the loss of the Turkish Straits is a lesson for the past.

And now the Turkish military is very dissatisfied with Demirel's governing policy. They believe that the president's means in diplomatic affairs are too cowardly, which leads to such misfortune. Once the seeds of conflict between the military and the government are planted, what remains is a big explosion after a certain period of time.

"Hello, President Demirel." Mario also smiled and shook hands with Demirel. This is his first visit to Turkey. The affairs that had been handled by the Secretary of State were finally taken over by Mario. This is a key step in the plan to contain the rise of China and the Soviet Union, creating disputes over the Black Sea issue, and the best pawn to create disputes is Turkey.

This time President Mario will discuss this issue inside the Turkish Presidential Palace. Because Demirel studied in the United States in his early years, there is no big obstacle to communicating in English.

However, President Demirel is not as patient as Mario. He went straight to the point and pointed out the current situation in Turkey. "We need to obtain the protection of the United States. The Soviet Union is now increasingly showing an aggressive expansionist trend. Once the Soviet Union's strategic deployment is completed, Turkey will be the first to be threatened. So I hope we can introduce the US anti-missile system to block the threat from the Soviet Union."

President Demirel took the initiative to propose the establishment of an anti-missile system within his own territory, which surprised President Mario, but more of an appreciation for Demirel's wisdom. Since Mario took office, he has increased his support for the US military funds, and the Patriot anti-missile system and the THAAD anti-missile system did not wait until after 2000 to conduct interception experiments. As early as December last year, all tests had been completed.

The actual combat effect of the new products naturally needs to be verified by the allies, so Turkey's eagerness to jump out as a guinea pig is also to make a name for the US anti-missile system.

What Demirel considered was that he did not need to fight the Soviet Union with real swords and guns. Deploying an anti-missile system is just a means of deterring the Soviet Union in a larger sense. If it were to separate from NATO, a huge military bloc, Turkey's air defense firepower would not be enough to block the Soviet Union's huge missile system.

President Mario did not speak. He motioned for Demirel to continue speaking.

"When we deploy the anti-missile system, we can truly curb the Soviet Union's eastward expansion, including the right to speak in the Turkish Strait. Now that the Turkish Strait is still under joint trusteeship between us and the Soviet Union, we must Take it back from the Soviet Union!"

"Although some NATO countries have begun to order our anti-missile system, our anti-missile system is still in its preliminary stage. It may take several years before it is truly perfected." President Mario reminded, "Even if it is just an imperfect Do you also need to pre-order the anti-missile system?”

"Yes." Demirel did not hesitate to look at this taken advantage of. As long as it can deter the Soviet Union and stabilize those who oppose him in the army, even if the US anti-missile system is a pile of scrap metal, it is worth buying.

"If we really want to buy it sincerely, we will provide Turkey with a more complete anti-missile system as early as March next year, and the post-maintenance work and the operation of the missile system will be carried out by NATO personnel. This is our request. ”

Mario believes that after taking care of Türkiye, it will not be difficult to deploy anti-missile systems in Bulgaria and Romania.

Since Demirel likes to take the lead in trying to develop an anti-missile system that even the U.S. military still thinks is unreliable, President Mario will naturally give him some discounts in return, "and the later upgrade and maintenance work of the anti-missile system will be very difficult." It’s provided free of charge by the United States.”

"The most important point is that this time Turkey must be under the personal supervision of the United States before it can use the anti-missile system. Once an emergency occurs, it will be reported to the NATO command as soon as possible, and we will decide whether to activate the system."

This adds a layer of insurance to Turkey's anti-missile deployment to prevent an irreversible situation caused by Turkey's unauthorized actions.

After listening to what President Mario said, Demirel was a little dissatisfied with the last request, but the others were acceptable. But there is also a lot of room for mediation on the last point. What kind of emergency situation needs to be reported to NATO immediately?

"I think this cooperation between Turkey and the United States will be a historic scene, marking the break of the Soviet Union's hegemony and monopoly in Eastern Europe." Demirel stretched out his hand to shake President Mario's hand.

"Happy cooperation, President Mario." Demirel said with a smile.

"Happy cooperation?" President Mario narrowed his eyes and showed an unknown smile. He came slightly closer to President Demirel and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Don't you want President Demirel to take Go back to the Turkish Straits?”

After President Mario said these words, the car stopped just in front of the Turkish Presidential Palace, and then the door was opened. President Mario turned back, with an expression on his face that had an indescribable meaning. The contours of his face flickered in and out of focus under the flash of the spotlight.
