Chapter 643 The Interests of the Entire Western World

"General Evren, on behalf of the U.S. government, I solemnly warn you not to challenge the Soviets' bottom line again!" After answering the phone, the U.S. Secretary of State's voice came: "The Soviets are waiting for this opportunity. You won't be so stupid as to jump in, will you?"

These words immediately chilled Evren's heart.

Now, it is not Turkey that is provoking the Soviets' bottom line, it is obviously the Soviets who are taking revenge! I never thought that the Americans would not comfort the Turkish government, but on the contrary, they are accusing! Accusing the Turkish government of playing with fire!

"Mr. George, I hope you understand that we did not provoke the Soviets. The Soviet anti-aircraft missiles crossed the border to attack our fighter planes." Evren said: "This is an invasion of Turkey and an invasion of NATO as a whole. According to NATO's charter..."

"General Evren, of course we know this is a trick of the Soviets, but you have to know that after you shot down the Soviet fighter plane, the Soviets have been wanting revenge. You should not fly within the range of the Soviet anti-aircraft missiles. This is absolutely a suicidal act!" George on the opposite side said impatiently: "The Soviets are not so easy to endure. They are setting a trap for us and waiting for us to jump into it! You are a military man, can't you see this?"

Of course, the Americans knew that it was a trick of the Soviets, but they still directed their complaints at Turkey. Who told you to provoke the polar bears?

"But, our country's fighter jets are flying in our own airspace, isn't that allowed?" Efren was also suppressing his anger.

“General Evren, let me reiterate that now, the biggest problem facing our entire Western world and our NATO group is not the Soviet problem at all, but the Middle East, the problem of the Middle East’s oil resources being controlled by Iraq! The first problem we have to solve now is Iraq! We have occupied Tikrit and are heading towards Baghdad! Before we capture Baghdad, there must be no war in other directions, do you understand?” George’s voice was getting louder and louder. Originally, this kind of thing could be left to the US ambassador to Turkey, but now, the White House decided to let George tell General Evren verbally, just to show more solemnity. This is the intention of the US President and the entire NATO! Turkey cannot ignore the entire Western countries because of its own preferences!

The price the United States is paying now is very high, almost using human lives to fill the hole. Although the Kurdish army has been organized to attack together, the main attack is still the US army! In order to take Tikrit, the United States paid the price of more than 10,000 casualties! And now, Tikrit has been captured by the United States, and the United States is heading towards Baghdad! As long as Baghdad is captured, the United States can destroy the current Iraqi government, and the situation in the entire Middle East can be rewritten!

The Soviets must have been anxious, but they were also afraid of triggering a world war. Therefore, if the United States sent troops, the Soviets could not dispatch ground troops to compete with the United States in Iraq. If the Soviets wanted to save the situation in Iraq, they could only think of other ways. For example, now, the Soviet Union continues to provoke Turkey, trying to trigger a war with Turkey. Once Turkey is in civil strife, the United States' logistics channels will be blocked, and the Americans will have no way to play.

This Evren is really causing trouble at a critical moment! The United States will certainly not tolerate Türkiye's behavior!

After hanging up the phone, Evren's face turned pale. The Americans' intention was very simple, that is, to make Turkey a coward! Even if Turkey's border post was destroyed by the Soviets, Turkey had to endure it! Endure until the United States solves Iraq!

Evren found this request difficult to accept, but he had to accept it. The US's intention was very simple. If Turkey started a war, it would be holding back the entire Western world. At that time, would Turkey still be waiting for NATO's support? Don't dream!

Although Evren was very courageous, he knew that without NATO's support, Türkiye would definitely not be able to withstand the Soviet military attack!

It seems that this is the only way to swallow this anger? Efren stared blankly at the ceiling and said nothing.

"General, rather than a Soviet military invasion, we must also prevent the Soviets from cooperating with the Mountain Turks." At this moment, an assistant said, "As long as we are patient, the Soviets will not find an excuse to invade us, but will try to disrupt us and support the Mountain Turks in our territory."

The mountain Turks, that is, the Kurds, this group of people have never been honest!

For the sake of the interests of the whole country, on the Kurdish issue, the Turkish government insisted that there was no so-called Kurdish nation at all, they were just mountain Turks, and Turkey resolutely pursued a policy of forced ethnic assimilation, and the Kurdish language and writing were openly banned. Just like Turkey's genocide policy against Armenians in the early 20th century, many Kurdish intellectuals and cultural elites who promoted and educated their own youth were either executed or sent to concentration camps. A large number of Kurds were forced to live in towns in the plains to deal with the armed forces of the Kurdistan Workers' Party. Many people who were reluctant to leave their homes soon disappeared.

Even the Turkish Army Chief of Staff openly declared that the essence of solving the Kurdish problem is to eliminate guerrilla warfare, and the essence of solving the guerrilla warfare is to "drain" the "water" - the people, so that the "fish" in the water - the guerrillas will naturally not be able to survive. The result is equivalent to the "Three Alls Policy" of Japan in the past. The Kurds are fighting to the death, they are bleeding and sacrificing, but no country or group supports them.

Under the suppression of the Turkish government, the Kurds did not have much of a problem, but now, with the US war on Iraq, the Kurds are beginning to rise again.

Because the United States supports the Kurds in Iraq and supports them in seizing power in Iraq! And it implies that in the future, Iraq will be ruled by the Kurds! Under such circumstances, the Kurds in Turkey are ready to move again! Among them, the armed forces of the Kurdistan Workers' Party have made the Turkish government extremely vigilant.

"Mobilize the army and continue to encircle and suppress the Kurdish armed forces." Efren said, "Also, restart our GAP project."

GAP project! Everyone present was stunned when they heard Efren's words.
