USSR 1991

Is it for a Mediterranean alliance to provoke the Russian-Turkish war again?

Even in 1991, Turkey did not dare to provoke the Soviet Union.

The Red Navy, which has recovered a certain strength, dare not make mistakes.

Yanayev directly asked the other party, "What about the routine cruise of the Black Sea Fleet? Does the Soviet Union need to report to Turkey separately?"

He asked bluntly, "We have informed you before that there will be warships passing through the Istanbul Strait, and we have also obtained the consent of the Turkish Navy. Why do we need to report to Ankara separately?"

Sezer said with concern, "But you didn't tell us that what passed through Turkey was a fleet of heavy cruisers..."

Chapter 8 Eleven Imperial Fleet

In the sea area of ​​251.2 million square kilometers in the Mediterranean Sea, there are two most powerful navies in the world, the Soviet Red Navy and the United States Fleet.The huge plastic surgery is enough to make the old European countries look envious.For example, the former Great Britain Fleet can only watch the United States Fleet rampant in the Mediterranean, remembering the glory that once never set.

As for the North African countries, looking at the Soviet Union's attitude of "I don't care about it, I don't care about it", they can only choose to swallow their anger.

The heavily armed fleet of heavy cruisers paraded on the calm waters of the Mediterranean, like a giant steel behemoth, calmly cutting through the waves, and shuttled past other ships that were far smaller than themselves.

As a mobile maritime arsenal, the Kirov class is a product of the era of giant ship cannons.

However, the splendor of the cruiser belongs to the past. Both Ticongadro and Kirov will become a sculpture in the history museum, and they will be replaced by destroyers. However, the Kirov class still appears in front of the world, announcing to them the red polar bear's future. strength.

After more than half a century of turmoil, the sea steel giant returns again.

As long as they are still there, the waters of the Red Empire will never allow the enemy to cross half a step.

Even if it is one nautical mile!

The Kirov class, which symbolizes the aesthetics of red violence, is a well-deserved Mediterranean Titan. Only the Nimitz class is qualified to be compared in front of him with its huge body.Even the President of Algeria was shocked by the nearly hundreds of anti-aircraft missiles and anti-ship missiles on the Kirov ship after seeing the large fleets of the United States and the Soviet Union under the surveillance of the navy. This is simply a sea battle island with powerful firepower!

He said sourly to the admirals around him, "When will our navy have such a warship?"

However, this is just a dream for the North African countries after all. Two destroyers can make them tight funds. Even Thailand, which has a small aircraft carrier Nalubet, can't laugh when facing the new aircraft carrier.

Navy funds and budgets are burning.

The Red Navy threw away the ships that were decommissioned on a large scale last year, and now there are nearly hundreds of ships in service that need to be maintained. In terms of numbers alone, no country in the Mediterranean can challenge them.

The four major fleets of the Red Empire are not just casual words, but are built with blood and strength.

Although the cruiser fleet does not have the exaggeration of the aircraft carrier battle group, it can also make people feel strong fear.

Mario had previously consulted with security consultant Berger whether it was worthwhile to directly use an aircraft carrier battle group for a Mediterranean alliance.

In Mario's view, the aircraft carrier is a mobile fund burning bank, and every nautical mile sailed can attract protests from Congress.The mysterious forces from Capitol Hill will always cut off their funding approval at the most critical moment.

"Of course it's worth it." National Security Adviser Berger replied, "Using millions of dollars in exchange for a Mediterranean Union, the most important thing is political interests. We can better open the raw material market in North Africa. This is the most important point. .And President Mario, be clear that this is our best opportunity to control a regional alliance. When the United States becomes the actual controller of the Mediterranean Union, it is equivalent to controlling North Africa and Southern Europe."

"The Soviet Union is not to be feared. Their foreign currency savings are no match for the United States. The United States has the most powerful foreign currency system in the world, but what do they have? Take a bunch of tattered arms that no one cares about as collateral, don't laugh at people .”

The reason why Berger dared to let President Mario make a direct decision is that the United States does not need to negotiate terms with anyone, because he himself is the condition.

When the United States expressed its intention to join the Mediterranean project, Israel, with its keen political sense, immediately dispatched the Israeli ambassador to the United States to start private discussions with the White House.

It didn't take long to announce a temporary ceasefire agreement with the Palestinian organization. All these good behaviors are to increase their bargaining chips in the negotiations.

"But there is also a French president, Jacques Chirac, who will not make it easy for us to take control."

Mario frowned. Although France did not compete with the United States everywhere like the Soviet Union, its duplicitous style made Mario even more wary.He said to Tenet before: "Chirac is a poisonous snake. If necessary, he can point his fangs at his allies and bite down. So from the time of de Gaulle to the present, we all You need to be wary of them."

Berger sneered, he stretched out a slap, and faced President Mario, "Except for the start-up funds we prepared for France and the small treasury prepared by France, how much start-up funds do they have? Support the entire Mediterranean Sea The alliance is not the French, but the United States. Our investment alone accounts for half, if the World Bank draws its salary from the bottom, can the Mediterranean Organization continue to support it?"

Finally, he shook his left hand and said mockingly, "France is nothing. When France chooses to part ways with Germany, the hope of Europe's rise has already sunk."

Berger was right.

The United States is the largest benefactor of the Mediterranean Union.

As for France, as for the Soviet Union?

"France is begging us now, not us begging Chirac."

Berger was confident.

At the same time, France was also worried about the actions of the United States and the Soviet Union to intervene in the Mediterranean.

"A narrow body of water can't stop the empire's ambitions. Whether it's the Strait of Gibraltar or the Strait of Istanbul, the protests of Morocco and Turkey are just flies buzzing in their ears, and they won't affect the giant beast's progress. Look at the American aircraft carrier battle group and the Soviet cruiser fleet entering the Mediterranean Sea, they are all verbal condemnations and protests, who dares to actually send the navy out to monitor and block them?"

"It's the real navy of a great power. Great Britain 100 years ago could still do it, but France and Germany will never be able to reach such heights."

At this time, President Chirac can only be described as having a complicated mood. Things were not going well at the beginning of the Union for the Mediterranean.Encountering internal resistance, the Soviet Union and the United States coincidentally used force to deter and use the simplest method to make the other party surrender, which is simply a glimpse of the nature of imperialism.

French Prime Minister Jospin said to Chirac, "This is just the beginning. There are three forces in the Mediterranean Union, we, the United States and the Soviet Union. According to President Chirac's thinking, the United States is robbing us of markets and raw material sources. Competitors, we will not cooperate with the Americans, on the contrary, we will join forces with the Soviet Union to run on the United States."

"So, how France makes this move will largely affect the direction of the Mediterranean countries. Except for Morocco and Turkey protesting, aren't other countries always in a wait-and-see state? So how does France move? The influence will become very critical. If you cooperate with the United States, it is equivalent to handing over the command to the Americans, but cooperating with the Soviet Union can at least ensure that we are the leader of the Mediterranean Union. The influence of the Soviet Union here is too great Limited. Their influence can hardly extend into the region, except for one Strait of Istanbul. Although, as they say, the accession is to widen the channels of trade, France will always be the dominant of the Mediterranean."

The Franco-Russian alliance given by Jospin coincides with what Chirac thinks in his heart.Indeed, if the two countries do not unite, it will only make the United States dominate.

Soviet.

The union of the two major powers is enough to make the United States worry about its small moves.

"Moreover, the current Mediterranean Union has just started, and in the eyes of the European powers, it is nothing more than a small fight. When one day he can 'go north', President Chirac will know how important it is to take the initiative. And the previous European Union During the meeting, Kohl made it clear that Germany is unable to support the huge expenditures of the EU and needs to cut funding, right?"

Chirac nodded, always feeling that Cole was ready to throw the blame and leave at any time.The European Union really can't get along, and Germany will bear the brunt of its losses.Now Cole is still thinking about stabilizing the somewhat hopeless EU, so that he ignores France's small moves.It also allowed Chirac to expand his influence in Europe more unscrupulously.

"Therefore, we need to understand what France is going to do. First, ensure the primacy of the Mediterranean Union; second, cooperate with the Soviet Union to squeeze the United States to the point where it cannot resist; and finally, the most important thing is to grow stronger."

"Now, it's time to make a phone call and chat with General Secretary Yanayev, President Kerr."

"I think they're going to be really looking forward to it."

Just as Yanayev was about to leave work, he received a call from Chirac. Yanayev glanced at the clock on the wall, held the microphone and whispered to the people around him, "Call me the interpreter."

Facing the sudden call, Yanayev was a little surprised.But he picked up the phone anyway.

"General Secretary Yanayev, I would like to talk to you privately about the Franco-Russian alliance proposed by Moscow. Do you have time now?"

"Of course there is time, President Chirac."

Only then did Yanayev realize that the other party was here for the Franco-Soviet alliance, and Chirac couldn't bear it anymore.It seems that Primakov's plan went very well, and the other party began to panic.At this time, the importance of the Soviet Union was highlighted.

Trying to dominate the United States will not stand with the Soviet Union to carve up the Mediterranean Union, so the Soviet Union has become a very important ally of France.

"As for the plan of the Union for the Mediterranean, we want to cooperate with the Soviet Union. Regarding the Bank of the Mediterranean, I hope that the funds and loans provided by the Soviet Union and France can account for two-thirds!"

Chirac released a non-surprising attitude, which was to ask the Soviet Union to take out a loan of nearly 100 billion US dollars in one go.In order to fully suppress the nearly 130 billion World Bank loan projects in the United States.
