Chapter 640 Bluffing

The S-300 air defense missile is a long-range air defense missile. The small 9M83 missile has a range of 75 kilometers, while the larger 9M82 missile has a range of 100 kilometers! Deployed to the Turkish border, this missile is not just an air defense missile for self-defense, but an out-and-out offensive tool!

If the Turks mistakenly hit the Soviet fighter planes, then the Soviet anti-aircraft missiles could also mistakenly hit the Turkish fighter planes!

Tit for tat, this plan is the most practical. After all, if the Soviet Union really gets involved in a world war, it will be detrimental to the overall interests of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union won the World War II and established the Cold War pattern, but what was the price? The Soviet Union lost a whole generation of young people! The loss of tens of millions of people has not been replenished until now. In the entire Soviet Union, the proportion of men is still less than the proportion of women.

Therefore, the Soviet Union could not be easily involved in the world war. In the past few years, under Andrei's full planning, the Soviet Union's strategic layout has undergone great changes, and each of these actions was almost entirely achieved with the help of external forces. Even when the Soviet Union occasionally confronted the United States, it did not engage in a large-scale fight.

Now, the situation in Türkiye is of course handled in the same way! The Turks are proud, and they are still dreaming of the Ottoman Turkish era, but Türkiye is surrounded by enemies!

Syria, Iraq, Iran, the Soviet Union, no matter which one, all have deep hatred for Turkey, and there are also Kurdish riots in Turkey. Therefore, Turkey can only have confidence if it has the support of NATO. However, within NATO, it is not a solid block. For example, Greece, which is across the sea from Turkey, is a sworn enemy. If it were not for the mediation of the United States, the two countries would have fought each other a few years ago.

The Turks are really funny. They have offended all the surrounding countries, but they still act arrogant and fearless!

"Take me to Moscow." After giving the order, Andrei said to his adjutant.

Andrei has a lot of autonomy in the Turkestan Military District and can make decisions on strategy, but he still needs to report to Moscow on all matters. Especially now that the Turks dared to shoot down their own fighter planes, a group of senior officials in Moscow have long been furious, especially Defense Minister Ustinov, who is said to have stood up in the Kremlin, banging on the table and shouting, "Send the Turks to hell!"

Now, Andrei's counterattack is just to deploy anti-aircraft missiles, which is equivalent to deliberately showing weakness. How can it satisfy the bosses in Moscow? Therefore, Andrei must explain to Moscow, especially his next strategy, to let Moscow know.

The best way would be for Andrei to return to Moscow in person, but unfortunately the current situation is bad and Andrei must be in Tabriz in person, so this call is necessary.

Andrei called Moscow through a confidential line for more than an hour before the call was finally answered. Moscow agreed to Andrei's plan.

It's really inconvenient now! Andre's mind jumped to technology again. Now, it's the 1980s, and the development of electronic technology is quite fast. The action of popularizing personal computers and the Internet should also be launched quickly. The Soviet Union should formulate all the standards of the future Internet before the United States invented the TCP/IP protocol!

With the Internet and the convenient video calls of later generations, things are much more convenient.

"Andre, take a break." Just after Andre finished arranging everything, a voice came from beside him.

Then, Andrei felt his forehead being kneaded by a pair of soft little hands, and he immediately became much more awake. Andrei turned his head and saw Ekaterina with a bulging belly.

Yes, Ekaterina was pregnant. After following Andrei to the Turkestan Military Region, Ekaterina could finally lead a normal married life with Andrei. After a month of hard work, Ekaterina's belly swelled again, and this time after examination, it was a boy!

Although Andre didn't have too many ideas of favoring boys over girls, he was still very excited when he learned that it was a son. What is it called? There are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants!

This time, after Andrei returned to the Turkestan Military Region, he came to Tabriz, and Ekaterina also came to take care of Andrei. Anyway, Ekaterina's job in Uzbekistan was a sinecure, so she could also handle work matters here.

"You should take a rest." Andrei said to Ekaterina, "I'm fine. You should take care of your health."

Seeing Andre looking at her belly, Ekaterina's face was full of pride: "Andre, when I was pregnant with Bella, you didn't seem to care about me so much."

Andre was immediately embarrassed: "No, it's just that I was in the Far East at that time and couldn't accompany you every day like I do now."

Seeing Andrei's nervous expression, Ekaterina felt extremely happy.

A tough general can also show his tender side when dealing with his family.

However, on the battlefield, there is no room for cowardice!

Ankara, Turkey.

"Hmph, the Soviets are just putting on airs! Only idiots like the Americans would be frightened by the Soviets!" In the presidential palace, Evren, dressed in military uniform, commented on the recent situation to his subordinates.

The United States was terrified when it received the news that its own side had shot down a Soviet fighter plane. Reagan called the hotline and explained to the Soviet side that it was a mistake and promised that Türkiye would compensate for the losses.

How can you be the leader of the Western world if you are servile and subservient! Let all NATO countries see that Türkiye is the most domineering country and the best leader of NATO!

Looking at the whole of Western Europe, who dares to shoot down the Soviet fighter plane? Only Turkey dares! And after shooting down the Soviet fighter plane, did the Soviets launch a large-scale military offensive? Of course not! The Soviets were just bluffing!

The competition in the Cold War was about who had greater courage!

"However, General, the Soviets have dispatched their newest air defense missile units to the border area. This type of air defense missile has a range of one hundred kilometers. It would be risky for our fighter jets to cruise there again," said Air Force Commander Aksai.

Evren shook his head: "No, the Soviets dare not do that. We shot down the Soviet fighter plane in our airspace. As long as our fighter planes fly in our airspace, the Soviet air defense missiles in Iran will never dare to shoot down our fighter planes. They are still bluffing."
