Chapter 635 Supporting Türkiye

This exercise will demonstrate the Soviet Union's powerful delivery capabilities! When necessary, the Soviet Union can quickly assemble troops!

The exercise, a tense exercise, officially began.

As the first batch of modernized mountain divisions, the 149th Division quickly arrived at the designated area. At the same time, with the cooperation of the division's armed helicopters, it began to advance towards the designated "war zone"!

Within five hours, the 149th Mountain Division had moved from its garrison to the designated exercise area! This was a major step forward in Soviet force projection!

At the same time, the Air Force's fighter jets also began to change their defense zones, moving from the Turkestan Military District to the Tabriz Air Force Base. In the Soviet Union, the Air Force has always existed as a support force on the front line, and their fighter jets generally have a small combat radius, so they must keep moving as the front line advances!

Like now, a MiG-29 flying regiment and a Su-24 fighter-bomber regiment of the Air Force have moved to northwestern Iran and started their new journey.

In an instant, the eyes of the whole world were focused here. What on earth was the huge polar bear going to do? Was a world war really about to break out?

"We must never compromise. This is our only chance!" In the United States, at the White House, the atmosphere at the Oval conference table was very depressing.

The Soviets are pressing forward step by step, and have made the United States feel suppressed to the bottom line! Although the United States is at a disadvantage in the current Cold War, it does not mean that the United States has completely lost the ability to fight! The United States is still the country with the most abundant capital and the greatest war potential in the Western world!

By losing the Far East, the United States has already lost an important helper, and if it loses the Middle East, it will also lose a valuable source of energy!

"Yes, we cannot compromise. Now, our country's economy has become more difficult because of energy problems. All the reform measures we want to implement and the various means of revitalizing the economy have lost their vitality due to the increase in energy costs. Many of our domestic companies that rely on oil are now on the verge of bankruptcy."

The top think tanks in the United States now know that the United States has reached the most dangerous moment. The United States cannot lose the Far East. The price is too high for the United States to bear! Now, the US economy has suffered a serious blow! The economic winter is coming, and the economic crisis may break out at any time!

All the benefits and measures that Reagan promised during his campaign have now been completely destroyed in the face of energy. Although the United States is actively looking for alternative energy sources, the arrival of the era of high oil prices is an indisputable fact!

If the United States wants to resolve the current decline, there is only one way, which is to win the current Iraq war, completely overthrow the Iraqi regime, and restore Kuwait's rule! As long as these two countries are dealt with, the Saudi problem will also be solved, and the United States will once again maintain order in the Middle East.

In order to attack Iraq, Turkey must remain stable! Similarly, the Soviets also saw this, so the Soviets conducted military exercises in northwestern Iran, at the border with Turkey. This is a naked deterrent!

Will the Soviets turn this exercise into World War III? This is a question facing everyone.

"For the Soviet Union, their domestic economy is also at a critical stage of reform. They should not launch a large-scale war, let alone World War III," said CIA Director William. "This is a conclusion we reached after comprehensive research. After all, if the Soviets were really determined to start a world war, they would not have limited themselves to making moves behind the scenes during the entire war, rather than directly confronting us."

The Soviets looked aggressive, but in fact, they did not have the courage to directly start a world war. Otherwise, after they started the war, why did they not directly participate in the war, but instead instigated the Iranian Air Force to help Iraq fight? And why did the Soviet army not suddenly occupy the oil fields in eastern Saudi Arabia until the Iraqi army captured Riyadh and the US army retreated to Mecca?

All this shows that the Soviets are also trying to avoid direct conflict with the US military! Therefore, the Iraq War that the United States is currently conducting will not directly face the Soviet army! At the same time, the Soviets are now conducting military exercises in northwestern Iran, which is just a deterrent and a test! The Soviets tried to prevent the United States from continuing the Iraq War by threatening Turkey! When the Soviets blew up the Eurasian Bridge, they thought the United States would give up the Iraq War. Unfortunately, the United States still insisted! And now, the Soviet Union wants to continue to threaten Turkey, and the United States must not compromise!

"Yes, we cannot compromise. Turkey needs our support! Tell Turkey that we, the United States, will support Turkey in all aspects. As long as Turkey is attacked, it will be a declaration of war on the entire NATO!" Reagan said: "We can transfer a batch of F-16 fighters to Turkey. At the same time, we can also agree to Turkey's application to establish an F-16 production line in their country. Turkey can have the most powerful F-16 fleet except Israel. This project will be called Peace Agate."

How to win over Turkey? For the United States, military aid is the most appropriate! The F-4 fighters of the Turkish Air Force are already aging, and they have long applied to the United States to export F-16 fighters to them. In addition, some Turkish pilots have received modification training in the United States. Unfortunately, the current production task of the F-16 in the United States has been scheduled after 1987, so it will take a long time for Turkey to get the new F-16 fighters.

Now, Turkey is facing a military threat from the Soviet Union. It is urgent to strengthen Turkey's air force. Some of the F-16 fighters produced on the production line will be transferred to Turkey first. At the same time, Turkey can be given a bigger sweetness by allowing it to produce F-16 fighters by itself! Relying on this arms sale, Turkey can be won over. In fact, Turkey must rely on the United States and NATO to survive.

Now, this arms sale will give Türkiye a reassurance, allowing it to stand up straight in the face of the Soviet exercises.

"In short, we must give Turkey confidence. If we win the Iraq war, Turkey will have one less enemy. Turkey has no choice but to support us." Bush concluded: "We have come to this point now. There is no turning back. Defeating Iraq will solve all our current problems!"

As long as the Soviet Union does not directly send troops to support Iraq, the United States will surely win in the end!
