For the United Kingdom and the United States, all preparations have been put in place. Everything is ready, but the east wind is not there. What is the east wind? Of course, I am waiting for the Soviet Union to take action. According to their arrangement, once the Soviet Union takes action in Turkey, they will also launch at the same time on other battlefields in the world. This time, the Russians will be deceived into taking care of themselves.

The leaders of democracy and freedom are ready to go, but there is a small detail that is worthy of fun. When they did so much preparation work, none of them thought of notifying Turkey of the relevant situation. I have to say that this is quite interesting.

Why do Britain and the United States, which claim to be for the sake of the people, for freedom, and for the sake of enlightenment and justice, have no intention of informing the Turks at all? Have you forgotten it?

It's really not. It's intentional, or in the words of the United States: "This is the decision of the democratic.

Yes, for the interests of Britain, the United States and Western Europe, a foolish Turkey is needed. If Türkiye is allowed to know the true attitude of the Soviet Union, will the foolish Türkiye still fight against the Soviet Union?

The answer is obvious. The Turks are not that stupid. The reason why they have the courage to challenge the Soviet Union is simply because they have the support of Britain and the United States. If there were no Britain and the United States, the Turks would have been scared and would immediately agree to the Soviet Union's request. Isn't it just the right to pass freely? Isn't it?

In order to make Türkiye cheat the Soviet Union, Britain and the United States deliberately concealed the news. On the one hand, they supported Turkey and prepared to carry thunder.

On May 9th, this day was very special. On this day, Nazi Germany finally announced its unconditional surrender, which meant that the bloody World War II finally put on the termination. The war that started in Germany finally ended in Germany. This war initiated by the Germans also completely changed the face of the world.

Since the 18th century, the world has been dominated by Britain and France. All the world order and all the rules of the game are completely created by these two countries. To be honest, these two countries have dominated the world for more than two hundred years. For two hundred years, countries have been trying to challenge the system built by Britain and France, including Russians and Germans, but they all failed.

But in 1940, this system finally collapsed. Britain is no longer the world's number one, and France has fallen to a vulnerable level. This is an era of old and new alternating new world bosses. The new generation of world bosses will begin between the United States and the Soviet Union. This new battle officially broke out at the moment when Germany raised the white flag, and the Turkish crisis was the first round of the fight between the two sides.

When the first round officially began, several very far-reaching things happened. The first was that the new Soviet Congress officially set the date, May 15th. This was a historical transfer of power. Trotsky, one of the dual cores of the October Revolution, officially bid farewell to the political stage, which also means that the first generation of Soviet leaders officially retreated behind the scenes. The second generation of Soviet leaders will appear on the stage, and the next twenty years will be seen by Sverdlov and Li Xiaofeng.

This is a historically significant power change. The first twenty years of the establishment of the Soviet Union were a period of accumulation of sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, while the next twenty years were a period of stunning rise.

Of course, it was too early to say this, and Trotsky still had some tasks not completed. Perhaps as a core leader, he was not very qualified, and he had almost made many brilliant achievements during his tenure, but leading the Soviet Union to win the Patriotic War was his greatest contribution. He led a backward country with fierce internal struggles and just completed preliminary industrialization to survive such a big challenge and become one of the world's top superpowers. Trotsky did not say that he had made great contributions but also worked hard. Facing retirement, he had a lot to say.

At the last plenary meeting of the Political Bureau before the convening of the General Assembly, Trotsky suggested that a grand military parade be held on June 9, one month after the Nazis officially surrendered. This suggestion was naturally meaningless and unanimously passed. Next, Trotsky's work focused on the organization of the parade. In Lao Tau's view, a grand military parade was a great commendation to celebrate the Patriotic War and his glorious retirement. He wanted to say his psychological words for many years at this grand military parade, and he would summarize the past and look forward to the future.

Lao Tuo was busy with the military parade, while Sverdlov was busy with the convening of the conference. As the future core of leadership, according to the tradition of the Soviet Union, he would be fully responsible for this conference. As for Li Xiaofeng, because Lao Tuo and Xiao Si of the former core were both tied to trivial matters, the Soviet Union's national affairs basically fell on his shoulders during this period. For the future second-in-command, the burden was very heavy.

"The victory of the Patriotic War, but this does not mean that the world will be peaceful." Li Xiaofeng delivered a speech at the enlarged meeting of the Military Commission. "The Soviet Union still has many challenges. Consolidating the achievements of the victory of the war, solving various problems left over from the war, and facing wars without gunpowder in the new era are important responsibilities of the Red Army... We are a mess in our hands. The economies of Central and Eastern European countries have collapsed, materials are scarce, and ethnic and religious conflicts in some regions have become more acute. And our enemies, imperialist robbers, will inevitably refuse to give up and will not give up their privileges for hundreds of years. Even if they dare not attack the Soviet Union openly, they will make trouble in secret. So comrades, this is not a time to enjoy peace. The Red Army is more vigilant at this moment than during the war, and they must be prepared to deal with various challenges at all times!"

The generals present were a little surprised because most people thought that the main content of this enlarged meeting was to reward merits, to promote military ranks and issue medals. Who would have thought that a certain immortal would have a murderous battle declaration as soon as he came up. Suddenly, some people couldn't help but start to think: "Is the three battles really imminent?"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the venue was frozen. The marshals and generals did not dare to show off. They stared at a certain immortal, for fear that they would miss some important words.

Li Xiaofeng was very satisfied with their attitude. He was worried that some people would relax their vigilance, so he deliberately said seriously that since the effect was good, there was no need to continue to increase the price.

"Of course, some comrades may have heard some rumors and rumors that after the fascism is resolved, there will be a war between the proletariat and imperialism. This statement is both correct but wrong. The correct statement is that if the proletariat wants to achieve complete liberation, it must defeat the imperialism oppressed on our shoulders, and this struggle will never stop. But the wrong statement is that the form of struggle is not only war. From the current form, with the birth of nuclear weapons, it is very unlikely that we will break out with the imperialist group led by the United States."

Speaking of this, Li Xiaofeng deliberately paused, and then taught a lesson extremely seriously: "But I want to remind you that there is no fever war, which does not mean that there is no struggle. It does not mean that you can relax your vigilance. The form of struggle will be very special, but no matter how special the form is, one thing is certain that the Red Army must maintain sufficient deterrence and must be able to fight at any time, so that our enemies dare not take risks."

After teaching the marshals and generals a lesson, Li Xiaofeng got to the point: "And there will be no direct armed conflict between us and imperialism, and it does not mean that there will be no war in the future. The future war will be carried out in those proletarian brother countries that have just escaped and are striving to get rid of imperialist exploitation. For example, China. In order to support these class brothers, we, the Soviet Union, naturally cannot stand by and watch, and we will be indirectly involved in conflict. Some of the comrades here may go to these conflict areas as military advisers. I hope you are mentally prepared for this."

After a moment of pause, Li Xiaofeng continued: "Of course, this is a situation, and there is a more special situation, that is, the Red Army is directly involved in the conflict. For example, Turkey. Many comrades here may already know what happened in Turkey. This country covers up the Nazis and accepts a group of demons led by Hitler. In order to completely eliminate fascists, the Soviet Red Army has reason and responsibility to teach the Turks a lesson. I can tell you clearly that because of the indulgence of Britain and the United States, our diplomatic efforts have basically failed. Turkey has no intention of admitting mistakes or repentance at all. War is inevitable. The Political Bureau has made a decision to fight a local war of limited scale, eliminate the evil Turkish government, and liberate the two sides of the Black Sea."

With a bang, the marshals and generals were excited. For them, having a new battle to fight means more honors. Who would think that there are many medals and higher military ranks? Especially this is still a fight against Turkey. For Russia, what I have dreamed of for two hundred years is to break out of the Black Sea and seize Constantinople. Now the superiors have agreed, so what are you waiting for? Please ask for the battle quickly!

A group of marshals and generals, including Rokosovsky, Zhukov and Konev, were in amazement and tried to obtain command of the battle. But Li Xiaofeng could not give them this opportunity, because from the beginning, this honor belonged only to Huasilevsky. It was not because Huasilevsky had strong abilities, but the result of the political and political compromise. The power of a certain immortal in the military was too strong, such as Ubolevic, Triandavlov, Zhukov and Rokosovsky, etc. If Turkey's honor is handed over to his people, Trotsky and Sverdlov would not have to be mixed up.

Therefore, Turkey must have no chance of Li Xiaofeng's direct lineage, and Sverdlov really has no suitable candidate, so he can only let Lao Tuo pick up a bargain. Of course, this bargain is not so easy to pick up. Turkey is not a bartender, nor is it soft persimmon, and it is not so easy to control. Although before World War I, Ottoman Turkey was called the sick man of the Near East, objectively speaking, Turkey's performance in World War I was still decent, at least it allowed Britain and France to experience it. Otherwise, after Kemal's coup, he made continuous small moves. At that time, Britain and France could have given Turkey some excellence. Why was there no substantial punishment later? The reason is that after Kemal's reform, Türkiye is no longer the same as before.

Turkey is not easy to bully, and even if Britain, the United States and other countries do not directly interfere in the war between the Soviet Union and Turkey, it is inevitable to secretly provide military assistance to Turkey, so Turkey with support will be even more difficult to deal with. For the Soviet Union, this war is not that simple.

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng also tried his best to select commanders for this battle. The commander was Huasilevsky and the chief of staff was Sokolovsky. Needless to say, Huasilevsky belonged to the great man. Sokolovsky's qualifications were also quite dazzling. Before being independent, this long-term chief of staff, Zhukov and Konev, was quite good at organizing and planning. After the war, he served as the deputy commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of the Soviet Red Army in Germany for a long time. Later, he served as the first deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense and also served as the chief of staff. He was a high-level assistant to Huasilevsky.

Not only are they equipped with excellent commanders, but the army involved in the Turkish warfare is also a top-notch. The 38th Guards Army, which has accumulated rich mountain war experience in Central and Eastern Europe, the 37th Guards Army under Konevsky, the 8th Guards Army in Zhukov, and the 21st, 27th and 33rd Army, which are also rich in combat experience, as well as the 52nd Army, which is originally assigned to the Turkish border, have a total of 900,000 troops. In addition, the Bulgarian Front Army, which was originally stationed in Bulgaria, cooperated with the total force of more than one million.

The specific troop configuration is like this: on the Bulgaria and Greece border, the 37th and 38th armies were deployed on the front line, and the 9th armies were used as reserves. The remaining 21st, 27th, 33rd and 52nd armies were deployed in Georgia and Armenia.

The focus of the battle is still in the direction of Europe. The 37th Army and the 38th Army are responsible for solving the Turkish army in the direction of Europe and taking Constantinople directly. The main function of the Red Army in the direction of Georgia and Armenia is to attack feints and firmly restrain the main force of the Turkish army on the Asia Minor Peninsula.

According to the agreement reached by Li Xiaofeng, Bulgaria and the Greek church, the ultimate goal of this war is to completely strip Turkey of Edirne, Kirklarelli, Tekirda, Istanbul, Kojaeli, Bursa, Balek Esir and Canakkale provinces.

Some comrades may count and think that they would strip out eight provinces of Turkey in one breath. How big is this? In fact, it is not that exaggerated. In Li Xiaofeng's view, a so-called provincial administrative unit in Turkey is actually about the same size as a prefecture-level city on the Communist Party. The above eight provinces are actually just a few provinces along the European part of Turkey and the strait coast. From the perspective of area, they will be the northwest corner of Türkiye.

Of course, this small northwest corner has unprecedented political and military significance, including the crucial Bosphorus, Marmara Sea and Dardanelles. This is the gateway to the Black Sea. If this small corner is stripped out of Turkey, Turkey will truly become a veritable Asian country.

This is the European part. In fact, on the Georgia and Armenia side, the Soviet Union also had ideas. It is certain that after this battle, Turkey and the Soviet Union should not think about normalizing the relationship in the next few decades. In the future, Turkey will definitely regard the Soviet Union as its mortal enemy (in fact, the two countries have been mortal enemies in the past two hundred years. The ten Russian-Turkey wars were jokes?). In order to prevent Turkey from causing trouble for the Soviet Caucasus region and further weakening Turkey, the Soviet Union will support the Kurds in eastern Turkey and let them consume Türkiye's energy.

The entire plan is very grand. If it can be successful, the situation in the entire Black Sea and the Near East will undergo earth-shaking changes. However, this plan is still quite difficult. It is not particularly difficult to capture the European part of Turkey. With the strength of the three elite guard armies of the Red Army, it is enough to defeat the Turkish army on this side. What is really difficult is that the next cross-sea battle will have to cross the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, as well as occupying the crucial strait coast, which is a test for the Soviet Red Army.

Of course, what is even more difficult is to truly occupy this area. Since the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the Turks have been operating in this area for almost five hundred years. In five hundred years, they can torture Sun Monkey's monkeys, let alone ordinary people. At this time, the power of Turkey in the Straits area has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Most of the residents believe in the YSL religion, and the power of the Orthodox Church here is much worse than before. It belongs to only a few sects. It is impossible to rely on those fake monks to deal with everything. Even because of these fake monks, one of the green monks would go crazy and engage in holy wars.

In short, it is easy to win Istanbul, but it is difficult to turn Istanbul into Constantinople again! Anyway, Li Xiaofeng is already ready to fight a protracted war. This area will not be stable in the next forty or fifty years.

However, Li Xiaofeng actually didn't want this area to be too stable. As a veteran, he knew how rampant the extreme green sects will be, and how troublesome the terrorism problem caused by this would be. The Soviet Union's attitude towards the extreme green sects in the future is also established, that is, to contain and suppress, and these guys must not let these guys mess up the Caucasus and Central Asia of the Soviet Union. High-pressure policies will inevitably cause strong backlash from these extremists. If they don't find anything to do, these guys will definitely open fire directly at the Soviet Union.

So how can I find something for them? Li Xiaofeng found two goals, one is Constantinople and the other is Jerusalem. Establishing an Orthodox country in Constantinople, even suggests the religious war color. With the IQ of those extremists, they will definitely bite Constantinople for the sake of the so-called face. They are likely to flock to Constantinople one after another with the so-called slogan of jihad. On the other hand, as long as the Jews dealt with Jerusalem and set a wedge in Palestine and the Middle East, Arab extremists will not be interested in the Soviet Union, but will try their best to eliminate Israel. In this way, these terrorists have clear goals. Before taking back these two places, they may not be interested in making trouble on the Soviet territory.

Even Li Xiaofeng was willing to secretly promote the fire and send the extreme green people in the heart of the Soviet Union who did not listen to education to these two battlefields. They were happy to be at peace after they got out of the Soviet Union.

To put it bluntly, Li Xiaofeng used Constantinople and Jerusalem as flesh and blood millstones, and asked extremists to go to these two places to die. Although it was a luxury to let them die, it could completely hurt their vitality and never make trouble in the Soviet Union again.

Therefore, in a sense, this time the attack on Türkiye was not only for the Black Sea estuary, but also for the stability and unity of the Soviet Union and Central Asia. Naturally, this war cannot be sloppy.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng was not just focused on Turkey. He knew very well that once he caused trouble in Turkey, it would be equivalent to laying the tone of relations with Britain and the United States in the future. With the urinary nature of these two companies, the Soviet Union would never let the Soviet Union enjoy its benefits. Even if there was no direct armed conflict, these two companies would do everything possible to support and arm Turkey. Anyway, World War II had just been completed, and there was no use of military surplus materials like mountainous people. Supporting Türkiye and causing trouble to the Soviet Union was definitely an inevitable choice for Britain and the United States.

Li Xiaofeng even did not rule out that these two families were taking advantage of the Soviet Union's busy attack on Turkey to do something in other regions. After all, the sphere of influence that the Soviet Union had just captured was not stable, and there were too many things to find faults for exploitation.

In order to deal with possible small moves between Britain and the United States, the Soviet Union had to be vigilant. Therefore, another focus of this meeting was defense work.

"Comrade Rokosovsky was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Red Army's three armies in the Western European Occupation Zone, Comrade Zhukov was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Red Army's three armies in the Central and Eastern European Occupation Zone, Comrade Huasilevsky was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Red Army's three armies in the Southern Europe and Asia Minor's Occupation Zone, Comrade Konev was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Red Army's Central Asian Military Region..."

According to Li Xiaofeng's meaning, Rokosovsky's mission is to be in charge of the military chiefs on Germany, Denmark, Austria, and Poland, responsible for watching Britain and the United States in this direction. Zhukov is in charge of Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia, and manages this area well. As for Huasilevsky's focus is Turkey, while Konev goes to Central Asia to watch Iran. Let the major giants of the Red Army take charge of each end and withstand the counterattack of Britain and the United States in their respective directions.

In fact, Li Xiaofeng is not particularly worried about these areas. What Li Xiaofeng is most worried about is the Far East. That area is too variable and the enemy's power is even stronger.

"How is the peace negotiation between the Communist Party?" After the recollection of the Military Commission ended, Li Xiaofeng immediately began to inquire about China.

Yakov replied: "There is no big progress for the time being, and it is still arguing!"

Li Xiaofeng nodded and ordered: "Tell Comrade Buliuheer that you must never believe the lies about the Democratic Party and the American promises. Let him tell the comrades in China to prepare for war and never be careless!"
