Soviet Union 1991

Third update

The scheduled negotiation time between Demirel and the military was delayed by nearly four hours, which caused extreme dissatisfaction with the Turkish military. They were already suspicious of Demirel's plan to build an anti-missile system on Turkish soil. Resistant attitude. 〔＜(?? Now the Turkish President has not only delayed the meeting, but there are even rumors that he signed an agreement with US President Mario to let the US aircraft carrier battle group protect Turkey's interests.

This is simply a naked humiliation of the Turkish Navy, not to mention allowing the US aircraft carrier battle group to station in the Sea of ​​Marmara. No one knows what President Mario, who is as ambitious as Banaev, will do. Maybe they can directly blackmail the Turkish government to control Turkey's politics. The United States did many such immoral things in South America back then. Otherwise, why would Mexico always be wary of the United States?

In Demirel’s conversation with President Mario, Mario has already revealed this dangerous tendency. One of his demands is the free passage of U.S. aircraft carriers in the Turkish Strait. Half of the sovereignty is handed over to others.

Demirel walked into the conference room. The person responsible for negotiating was the commander-in-chief of the 6th Military Department, Maziyel, the spokesperson for the interests of the Turkish army. However, there is no kindness in Maziyel's expression. It is obvious that he has endured enough of this Turkish government, including President Demirel and Prime Minister Erbakan.

Demirel's successive diplomatic mistakes were just a trigger, revealing the president's incompetence and weakness at every turn. In contrast, what Erbakan did shocked and panicked the Turkish army, because the Turkish Prosperity Party led by Erbakan showed Islamic radical tendencies, and the National Security Council also paid attention The Prosperity Party led by Erbakan floutes the constitutional ban on religious involvement in politics and is ready to intervene at any time.

All the contradictions have converged, causing Turkish politics to maintain a calm surface, but there are turbulent undercurrents underneath. On the one hand, the secular army protecting Turkey is preparing to intervene in this political dispute. On the other hand, Demirel hopes to find his own political investors in NATO or the United States to increase his influence at home. On the other hand, Erbakan hopes to Islamize Turkey, which is in the interests of religious sects.

All in all, Türkiye is now in a period of internal and external troubles, and various forces hope to appear and play their part in this political struggle. Of course, the Turkish army, as the mastermind behind the scenes, controls all the drama. Demirel's negotiations with the military were ridiculous, because he never knew how many trump cards the military had that Demirel didn't have.

"I don't understand, President Demirel." Maziel put out his cigarette butt and said to Demirel, "Why in this Black Sea crisis, the US aircraft carrier battle group is rushing to Turkish waters, and you still I personally issued a decree to allow navigation. I hope President Demirel can explain what is going on."

Maziel smiled calmly, but there was an invisible pressure that forced Demirel to face what General Maziel said.

"Ahem, that's it." Demirel explained, "We cannot face a powerful Soviet Union alone. Now is the time when we need the support of allies. I hope that the United States can pose a strategic threat in the Sea of ​​Marmara, Containing another Soviet attack is the strategic goal I want to achieve."

Türkiye, which lives in the cracks between major powers, understands this truth better, so it joined NATO and enlisted the United States to suppress the Soviet Union. Demirel planned every move for himself.

"Oh? Really?" General Maziel narrowed his eyes and said to Demirel, "So what is the conversation between you and the United States? Ceding the right of passage through the Turkish Strait, right? Let all Will the countries of the world share our waters? Or is President Demirel selling out his national interests to protect his position?”

Demirel's face twitched and turned pale instantly. He didn't know where General Maziel heard about the deal between him and the United States, but he knew that the conversation that followed was not that easy.

Maziyel deliberately lit another cigarette slowly and methodically, leaned on the sofa and said slowly, "Do you know the recent movements of Prime Minister Erbakan? Although Erbakan is in charge of domestic affairs, he The performance disappointed us greatly.”

Maziyel raised his head and said word by word, "He actually wants to turn Turkey into an Islamic country. Do you know how much effort Kemal Kemal spent in transforming Turkey into what it is now? "

Maziyel sighed, "Now the National Security Council is very angry and angry, and they are very likely to intervene in the Erbakan incident at any time. I am telling you this now, not afraid that you will leak the news, I think You know the reason."

"Of course, I will keep this matter secret." Demirel's throat rolled several times before he reluctantly responded to Maziel. He knew that the military had absolute control over politics. So even if Erbakan knew these things, there was nothing he could do. After all, the military is the leader of a country.

What's more, the execution capability of the National Security Council is no less than that of the Soviet Union's Cheka. Demirel felt frightened at the thought of an invisible sword hanging above his head.

"Very good, President Demirel. I hope that no one will do anything stupid in the relationship with the Soviet Union. After all, our biggest enemy is internal, not this superpower. The large-scale unrest that may break out in the east at any time is our biggest concern."

"I understand." Demirel said.

Then the two fell into a long silence.

Maziel was not here to educate Demirel this time, but to stabilize the president and make Demirel think that the military did not want to tear its face with him.

However, there will be an unexpected change next, which is being quietly deployed.

"Let's stop this conversation. We will never cede any right of passage in the Turkish Straits. We will also not allow the US aircraft carrier battle group to enter and exit our Sea of ​​Marmara at will. This is the condition proposed by the military. Let them decide for themselves."

General Maziel's attitude was extremely tough, so President Demirel could not refute it. (To be continued.)8
