Big Time 1958

   This was the first day he returned to Moscow. He quickly settled things and went back home by car. Compared with the next thing, these issues of food, education and immigration can only be said to be trivial. It belongs to a part of national security, but the most important part of national security is a grand strategy, which requires the use of the military.

"I've caused you trouble again, and I still have to rely on you to help me in the end." In the bedroom of the two, Valia, who was naked, sat up after a rest, her long blond hair hanging down her towering chest . She was very moved by her husband's great support for the plan he had implemented just after he returned to Moscow.

"You are my wife, who am I not helping you? How can a wife tell her husband to cause trouble?" Shelov smiled very relaxedly, and stretched out his finger to poke on the woman's towering, the other hand put the cigarette Press Mie said, "No matter what you want to do, as long as I can help you, I will help you. You have given birth to so many children for me, which is the greatest reward for me."

"My mouth is like smearing honey. I know why you came back. I'm afraid that you will be involved, and the Central Presidium may not agree so easily with the choice of starting a war." Valiya lightly lifted her red lips and hugged the man. "This is not a proxy war, and as a neighbor, the country has more things to think about."

"It's about strategy. The Dardanelles have been blocked. We can never say that the environment has been completely changed. Well, don't worry about it. I'll see when the time comes." Put the quilt back on the wife, the woman's Although the posture is quite eye-catching, it is not good to always look at it like this, what should I do if it becomes hard for a while.

  Greece is a military government, and at the moment there is a world economic crisis, the word military government and economic crisis are linked together. There are too many previous precedents, nothing more than launching combat operations to improve national morale. If you win, you can say if you lose. Greece is not the first nor will it be the last. The later Argentine military government was also swept away by Thatcher.

  Because of the fierce confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union in southern Africa some time ago, Air Force transport planes continued to fly from the Dardanelles, making other countries feel uneasy, especially the neighboring Greece and Turkey. The military coup launched by the Greeks in history has never happened until now. But with the outcome of the wars in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo having been decided, and the withdrawal of the Sudan People's Army, the tension in the world has passed.

   On the last day in Hanoi, a military coup took place in Cyprus. The Cypriot National Guard suddenly bombarded the Presidential Palace under the command of Greek officers. After President Makarios escorted a group of students who visited the Presidential Palace, he fled by taxi to Paphos in southern Cyprus, where there is a British Air Force base. He then took a British plane to New York to complain to the United Nations about the brutality of the Greek junta. At the same time, the coup soldiers supported Nicos Sampson, who endorsed the merger of the two countries, as interim president.

He boarded the train until Irkutsk, and got off the plane at Moscow Airport. It took him more than two days and one day to deal with those trivial matters. Now I believe that the Turkish military should have formulated a battle plan and sent it to Turkey. in the hands of the President. No war can be started by one person. Stalin also needs to persuade other members to agree, not to mention the Turks. It is normal to take a few days to evaluate and draw up a plan. normal.

   The next day, Serov left the villa, went to Lubyanka first, took out the battle plan that had fallen into a layer of ashes and blew it, put it in the briefcase, and asked the driver to take him to the Kremlin.

   Serov with a blue hat walked very slowly. This was not his usual style. Because he couldn't drive, he walked much faster than the average person. Walking slowly like this is very rare.

  Salute to the guards in return, Serov entered the Kremlin, and the sound of the leather shoes under his feet was heard far away.

"Yura, I thought you would rest at home just now." Sherepin is not here, but in the Supreme Soviet. Only Brezhnev and Kirilenko are here, but it doesn't matter, it's only a few minutes away. .

"I'm here to submit the Soviet plan and wait for the approval to implement it." Serov said slowly, while speaking, he put a stack of plan books from his briefcase on the table with an unprecedented solemn expression. For more than ten years, he has been constantly The plan is being revised, and today it seems that the time has come to implement it.

The Soviet Grad Plan was the Soviet Union's special combat plan for Turkey. The purpose was to dismember Turkey, open up the passage from the Dardanelles into the Mediterranean Sea, and of course, to recover Constantinople and take back the holy city that belonged to the hearts of Russians in all dynasties. .

The Soviet Union completely suppressed religion, but the Orthodox Church had a huge impact on the Russians. This cannot be solved without preaching. The collapse of the Eastern Roman Empire has always been like a thorn in everyone's heart, but they are not willing to mentioned.

   But even so, Serov's words still surprised Brezhnev and Kirilenko. Combat plans can be drawn up. This is military common sense. Otherwise, what would the Ministry of Defense do in peacetime? However, there are many factors involved in the implementation or non-implementation. The Soviet Union cannot declare war on Turkey, a member of NATO, as soon as its head is hot.

"Comrade Serov, do you know what you are talking about? There is no reason for us to provoke NATO?" Kirilenko, secretary of the Central Committee, directly retorted, "I understand your painstaking efforts, but our struggle with the United States is a long-term struggle. , rather than through risky military operations, as the general political commissar, you should understand this."

   Serov raised his head slightly and stared straight at Brezhnev's comrade-in-arms. The meaning in his eyes was very complicated, indifference, disdain, plainness, or sarcasm. In fact, there are some, anyway, it is disrespectful.

At this moment, the red phone on the table rang. It was the call of the general secretary. Brezhnev didn't care about his comrade-in-arms competing with Serov. He sat down and picked up the phone. His face changed instantly and he glanced at Serov. , "Turkey attacked Cyprus? Half an hour ago..."

  Compared to Kirilenko's surprise, Serov was still the dead face of the judge. After Brezhnev put down the phone, Serov silently tapped the plan on the table with his hand, the meaning was self-evident.

  At dawn on August 6, a large number of Turkish troops suddenly landed 8 kilometers west of Kyrenia, a port city in northern Cyprus. Turkey claimed that the move was to "protect" the safety of the Turkish Cypriots. The Turkish invasion force consists of the "Cakmak" Special Attack Brigade, the 6th Amphibious Infantry Regiment, the 50th Infantry Regiment and the 39th Division Tank Battalion, equipped with 12 M47 tanks, 20 M113 armored transport vehicles and 12 105mm caliber howitzer.

   In order to drive away the invading Turkish troops, the Cypriot National Guard first sent two companies from the 251st Infantry Battalion and five T-34 tanks from a platoon of the 23rd Tank Battalion to intercept them. The Serbian army initially destroyed two recoilless artillery positions of the Turkish army, but the M113 armored vehicles of the Turkish army and the infantry cooperated closely to destroy the two Serbian army T-34 tanks, which made the efforts of the Serbian army go to waste.

   "Convening a meeting of the Central Presidium!" Brezhnev, who picked up the phone again, had regained the appearance of a mountain that had collapsed in front of him without changing his color, and his voice was rarely soft, but full of majesty.

The   Soviet Grad Plan was officially brought to the meeting of the Soviet Central Presidium for discussion. All the members of the Central Presidium who attended the meeting were very surprised. Looking at Serov, who had just returned to China, Polyansky, the first vice-chairman of the Council of Ministers, asked with a heavy heart, "Comrade Serov, this is what your KGB did."

"Is our KGB a god? Can the anti-Soviet Greek military government coup in Cyprus?" Serov twitched his lips and smiled indifferently, "Under the background of the world economic crisis, in order to maintain legitimacy, a country's military government, What is the most direct way to think about it? The Greek military government is not the first, nor will it be the last.”

   Shelov with a big blue brimmed hat had a cold voice, like evaluating how much feed a pig needs to eat to grow meat. It's a strange attitude, like... as if he'd judged it a long time ago.

"The coup of the Greeks in Cyprus is the reason why I came back from Hanoi in a hurry. I didn't come back to support the women at home. Now, comrades, let's talk about business." Serov clapped his hands to attract others. Attention said to himself, "I've been waiting for this kind of opportunity, thanks to fate, when I was forty-seven years old, it finally came."

"In principle, I support it. This plan is perfect in every angle. You, comrades, also know that Yura is building on all borders, in any dangerous area on the vast borders of our motherland. This kind of preparation has been prepared for many years.” After hearing this, Shelepin, Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, first expressed his support.

"But the risks involved are huge. Now this is a civil war in NATO, and it's different for us to join in." Mazulov, the first vice chairman of the Council of Ministers, thought for a while, "Will this cause us and NATO to fight? Total War?"

"As far as the Western European countries are now, can they fight? The economic crisis has continued, and the support rate of the Communists and socialists in various countries seems to be a little higher. Besides, I have no intention of helping the Greek military government. I want to help, and I hope to be able to help. Allies of the Warsaw Pact." Shelov said calmly, "Let's wait and see, but we have to do it ourselves. The army has not fought for more than 20 years. We need to test the combat effectiveness of the army. I must remind again. If we don't seize this opportunity, the people will not be satisfied." In the end, Serov's tone became extremely solemn.

"What do you mean? The Greek military government is about to collapse?" Brezhnev said to himself without changing his face. "If Greece, which is in NATO, takes the initiative to ask the Soviet Union for help, this is a very good excuse." continue~^~)
