USSR 1991

"It's too late, Your Excellency, we have no chance of reconciliation with them." The Minister of Defense pointed to the screen and said, "Mandela just made a statement that he will respect South African blacks to protect their own interests through strong means. So now, we have to A war is waged on home soil."

Having said that, De Klerk instantly felt that this was like a relief, and finally he didn't have to worry about the feelings of black Africans in everything he did.

De Klerk took a deep breath. His first thought now was to seek help from the US government, and let the Americans redeem their promises before the regime was overthrown.

But De Klerk still doesn't know how stupid it is to ask the United States to join the game.

Chapter 273 Sanctions from Wuchang

Washington never dreamed that the South African government would take the initiative to ask them to help them support the current government in international public opinion, but De Klerk seems to have forgotten one thing. Like the Bay of Pigs incident, the current South African government is the target that the Americans want to attack.

However, the civil strife in South Africa is obviously beyond the imagination of the elites in the White House. With the help of the two superpowers, armed conflict broke out in the already turbulent South African society. contest.On the one hand, it supports apartheid and white supremacy.On the one hand, it advocates the equality of black people and violently seizes power.The government is in the middle, becoming the target of attacks from left and right.

The smoke of war is everywhere, and when conflicts erupt to an irreconcilable level, the massacre of civilians will begin.This was true of the Bosnian War, as it was of the South African Civil War.

"But so far, South Africa's 9 armed forces are still in the hands of the South African government, and it is only a matter of time before a rebellion is quelled." US National Security Advisor Anthony Lake analyzed, "If you want to make South Africa unrest Maximize, then we will abandon the deal with de Klerk, um, and win other UN countries to impose an embargo on South Africa. Then let the incident slowly ferment."

"Of course the turmoil cannot be stopped so quickly. All we have done is to plunge South Africa into the abyss of civil war." Mario's expression was a little serious, because once sanctions were imposed on South Africa, it was absolutely impossible for the government to quickly The rebellion was quelled.This requires the United States to make a choice.The last sentence of National Counselor Lake became the key message for President Mario to make the final decision.

"Once a civil war breaks out in South Africa, the capital injected into South Africa from Europe and the United States will quickly withdraw from the country, which will have a huge blow to South Africa's financial market and economic development, and may even directly lead to the collapse of the financial center Cape Town. "Lake said, this is the most vicious point in the strategy he provided for the United States, "Sacrificing some insignificant interests can be exchanged for greater profits. I think this deal is very cost-effective. A turbulent South Africa is more beneficial Our multinational corporations control local economies."

"Very well, we will come forward about the UN proposal, and let the CIA also operate to fan the flames all over Africa." Civil war, this is a special gift from the Americans to South Africa.

De Klerk's eager anticipation did not bring him a message of peace, but a fatal news.The United States changed its previous tone and began to condemn the South African government's violations of humanitarianism and human rights.They will impose a no-fly zone and an arms embargo on South Africa.What made South Africa even more frightening was that this decision of the United States actually received strong support from the Soviet government. Both the United States and the Soviet Union had previously sworn that they would safeguard the interests of the South African government. In a blink of an eye, they chose the opposition.

Yanayev issued a statement after the rebellion in the South African Free State, "The Soviet Union expresses great sympathy for the South African people's resistance to tyranny and oppression. We will further pay attention to the development of the situation and express our support for the South African people's struggle for freedom and independence." The behavior expresses affirmation and understanding, and I also hope that the government can criticize itself and not try to challenge the bottom line of the people."

When Yanayev made this statement again, he also provided more arms support to the South African Communist Party to allow them to go to the countryside and areas where the South African army is weakly controlled to launch guerrilla warfare among the people.This is also the first time Yanayev has provided support to a communist party in a country after cutting off the output of the revolution.

The Soviet Union did not urge the two parties to return to the negotiating table to solve the problem as soon as possible, and their ambiguous attitude also expressed their views from the side.We gloat over the political situation in South Africa, and don't think we will reach out to you in your most difficult time. The Soviet rocks are all ready, just waiting to hit you.

"Now start to vote on the civil strife decision in the South African country." At the UN meeting, representatives of the five countries faced the screen and made their own choices.

In the United Nations Security Council’s decision-making vote on launching a no-fly order and an arms embargo, except for China’s abstention, the Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom and France all voted in unison, and passed the decision against the South African government .Sanctions against the South African government were passed unanimously, like a pre-heard script.Obviously everyone hopes to push the civil strife in South Africa to the abyss.

"The Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom and France have all betrayed us, and these bastards have tricked us! They have no intention of keeping their promises at all. And yet we still place our hopes on these bloody bastards!"

After seeing Mario and Yanayev's speech on TV, De Klerk couldn't help throwing the remote control to the ground angrily. He didn't expect that the United States and the Soviet Union would have a deal behind the scenes, and they directly put South Africa together. .Now the South African government is facing internal and external troubles, because the intervention of the United States and the Soviet Union in South Africa not only failed to extinguish the armed rebellion that was burning in the Free State, but even the air force was directly paralyzed because of the no-fly order.

He slumped in his seat, watching the reports on the desktop from all over the country, because a series of armed struggles broke out directly because of the rebellion in the Free State.The extremist armed forces of the Boers in South Africa targeted all blacks as demons who disturbed the order of the country.And De Klerk's friend Mandela also abandoned him at this time, from peaceful demonstrations to sympathizing with armed riots to overthrow the government.

Although Mandela maintained an attitude of non-violence and non-alignment on the surface, he also knew that the situation of reconciliation with the white government was gone forever.De Klerk tried every means to prevent the blacks in South Africa from rebelling and prevent the country from splitting up.But he didn't expect to arouse the righteous indignation of his own white people, and at the same time lose the support of black people.

"Send all the troops to suppress, the United States can no longer count on it, and the future of South Africa depends on us." Thinking of the permanent members of the United Nations who were hiding in the dark and watching jokes, De Klerk gritted his teeth in hatred, "The opportunity has already been given to you. Since you are merciless, don't let the South African army not miss the old feelings."

Boers, blacks, these guys who disturb the order of the country, should all be pulled out and shot!

Chapter 274 The Courageous Türkiye

It can be said that the Soviet Union participated in the large-scale regional conflicts in Europe and Africa at the end of the [-]th century. It supported the Serbian government in the Bosnian War in Europe, and jointly sanctioned the South African government with the United States, which completely plunged South Africa into the predicament of civil strife.In American terms, the Soviet Union is a well-deserved evil empire.

After seeing the means of the Soviet Union in South Africa, the small countries around him felt the pressure brought by the huge red behemoth, especially those former socialist countries that had undergone drastic changes in Eastern Europe and converted to a democratic system.Before, they thought that the threat from the east would no longer exist, but they didn't expect the fear of the past to sweep back again.

Moreover, instead of bringing them rapid economic growth after democracy, the people's living standards have experienced negative growth, and social turmoil has gradually intensified.Those governments that have turned from bureaucrats to capital oligarchs are so busy collecting the resources of the entire country into their own pockets that they have no time to care about the lives of the people.

After the Soviet Union and its allied countries withstood the wave of division, the economy gradually began to improve.This also made the people of Eastern Europe envious and jealous, and even those former Eastern European countries put forward radical slogans, either returning to the era of socialism, or rectifying corruption, and adopting more radical policies.

From full of hope before to gradually disappointed later, angry Eastern European people began to take to the streets to demonstrate, just like when they opposed communism, the deceived people stood up to oppose and accuse the government of corruption.

"We want bread, we want life. We don't want the endless lies or corruption of politicians." The parade team held up a banner and shouted slogans neatly and loudly on the street.Some even held up portraits of Yanayev and the leaders of their own country, but their leaders were painted with crosses on their faces.Yanayev's portrait, on the other hand, added a few more words.

"We need this kind of leadership, he is the savior of a country."

"Incompetent bourgeoisie, incompetent government leaders go away!"

The Soviet Union naturally also paid attention to these things that happened in Eastern Europe, but the elites in the Kremlin did not take action, because the current Soviet Union has no extra energy to make the capitalist countries in Eastern Europe become socialist again.What's more, the people of some of these countries are still hostile to the Soviet Union and can't understand the recovery of the Soviet economy. They keep talking to the West and spreading the theory of the collapse of the Soviet Union to their people.Seeing what these people did, Yanayev realized that there are idiots like Taibazi and Gangcan all over the world, not just this one.

The border of the Soviet Union was launched from the airfield in Georgia, and patrols and intelligence reconnaissance were carried out on the border between Turkey and Georgia as usual.This was a simple flight mission, and the pilots Rumyantsev and Kolodov didn't even take this flight mission seriously.They didn't even realize they had flown over the Georgian border and into Turkish airspace.Just as they were about to carry out further detection, a piercing sound suddenly sounded in the entire cockpit, reminding them of the dangerous approach.

Rumyantsev, the pilot of the Su-27 fighter, looked down and found that his fighter had been locked by the fire control radar of the fighter of unknown forces.His companion Kolodov reminded, "Be careful, a fighter jet appeared in our direction at six o'clock."

Rumyantsev's cockpit couldn't see the scene behind him, but from the urgent tone of his companions, it could be heard that they were in a bad situation.He hurriedly reported his troubles to Georgia Air Force Base.

"This is No. 37. We encountered an attack from an unknown fighter. Repeat, we encountered an attack from an unknown fighter." Rumyantsev swung the pole from side to side, trying to shake off the fighter that was clinging to his back .

"I see it clearly. It's an F-16 fighter jet from the Turkish Air Force." Kolodov, who saw the whole picture of the ghost behind him, quickly conveyed the information to Rumyantsev.The opponent is like a bird of prey biting itself tightly.

"Did we just cross the Turkish border?" Rumyantsev asked.

"Yes, we crossed the Turkish border for about 35 seconds to collect intelligence." Kolodov reported the unfortunate news to Rumyantsev.

"This is not good news, Comrade Kolodov. We have to run back quickly. As long as we enter Georgia's airspace, these guys will not dare to do anything to us."

Rumyantsev decided to take a very risky approach and pulled the left stick to bring the plane's nose up while simultaneously beginning to slow down.The entire Su-27 fighter jet is like a forcible somersault in mid-air. The pilot of the Su-27 uses a somersault maneuver to get rid of the F-16 fighter jet following him.

"It's now." Just when Rumyantsev decided to shoot at the invading fighter jets in front of him, the radar warned that they had been locked by missiles. Rumyantsev did not expect that Turkey had another fighter jet hiding behind him.At this time, the missiles were already approaching them, and Rumyantsev could even feel the illusion of the roar of air-to-air missiles coming from his ears.

The air-to-air missile was getting closer and closer, and the two pilots activated the ejection system knowing that they could not get rid of the missile, and then the tail of the Su-27 was hit by a missile launched by a Turkish fighter jet.It continued to fall like a flaming meteor.Billowing flames and black smoke disappeared into the sky along with the pilot's distress signal.

Two Turkish fighter jets swaggered away after shooting down the Soviet plane.Only two pilots were left manipulating the parachute, and fell towards the Georgian border.As long as they don't fall on the border of Turkey, the Turks can't do anything to them.

At the same time, the Soviet air force base also quickly launched a search and rescue, and the ground troops rushed to the accident site as soon as they confirmed that the Russian fighter jet had fallen.At the same time, they also reported the incident layer by layer until it was heard by Minister of Defense Yazov.

"What, our fighter jet was shot down by Turkey?" Hearing this news, Yazov stood up from his seat and almost dropped the phone's microphone on the ground. He was shocked at first, and then anger flooded into him. In my heart, "Has our pilot been injured? Or captured by the Turkish army?"

Yazov breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he was not caught by the Turkish army.But then he frowned again. This time, the Soviet fighter jets crossed the Turkish border first. The reason was that they were not on the side of the Soviet Union, but the Turkish fighter jets directly shot down the Soviet fighter jets without warning. We cannot sit idly by.Even Yazov couldn't tolerate this, let alone the tough general secretary of the Soviet Union.

"I will report this matter to General Secretary Yanayev. Don't worry. The Soviet army has always been the only one who bullies others. If anyone dares to touch us, the Soviet government will never let them go."

After hanging up the phone, Yazov was silent for a while, then called Yanayev's office, and then he cautiously reported the news to Yanayev.However, the other party only gave a brief reply and there was no more after knowing it.

An ominous premonition surged in Yazov's heart. The calmer Yanayev's attitude, the more he explained that the Baltic incident, the Vantaa incident, the Tbilisi riots, and the Chechen war all confirmed that the general secretary was in the most angry state without exception. On the contrary, it won't reveal a trace of emotion, but will focus on how to calculate and take revenge on the other party.

No.11 Russo-Turkish war?Such a terrible idea suddenly appeared in Yazov's mind. He didn't want Yanayev to start a war under the provocation of Turkey. After experiencing Chechnya, the Soviet Union was no longer willing to conduct a foreign war.Recreation and economic development are the focus.

"I always thought that Turkey should know what a lesson is, but it seems that the lesson they have learned is not deep enough." Yanayev narrowed his eyes and said coldly. Yanayev is a large-scale military operation. It will not be taken, but this does not mean that the Soviet Union will tolerate Turkey's misconduct.

"These guys in Turkey seem to be still dreaming of the great caliphate and the great sultan. Let the Soviet Union wake you up from the dream of revitalizing the Ottoman Empire and experience the nightmare of communism."

Chapter 275 The Final Warning

The hatred between the Soviet Union and Turkey is not a day or two, but a feud that has accumulated over time.From the Chijilin expedition of the Ottoman Empire in 1674 to the Gallipoli defeat in the First World War, a total of twelve wars have been experienced.The dispute between Russia and Turkey has never stopped. Even in the Soviet period, Turkey regarded the red polar bear entrenched on the Dnieper River as its greatest enemy.

Therefore, the newly elected president, Suleiman Demirel, is particularly concerned about the reactions of the United States and NATO. See it as a common enemy on both sides.This also made President Mario very satisfied, at least he had another hole card in his hand to deal with the Soviets.

Just in the second month after Demirel took office, he sent Foreign Minister Mevrut to visit the United States secretly and met with US Secretary of State Warren Kristoff in secret. The United States is willing to assist and support Turkey behind the scenes, so Turkey is willing to become an unstable pawn of the Soviet Union in the Middle East.

"We have been at odds with the Russians in Crimea for centuries, and as Secretary Warren sees it, we are a blood feud, and as long as the Russians exist, the glory of the Ottoman Empire will be destroyed. Stop it for a day. So we want revenge, revenge against the Soviet Union." Mevlut said bitterly.
