Chapter 649： American puller

The fight within the NATO group is the most pleasing to the eye! The events in Cyprus, of course, were directed by Andre! The feud between Greece and Turkey, now, must enter the most serious confrontation before it can involve part of Turkey's military strength!

Greece and Turkey are like fire and water, and now, the Cyprus incident is a fuse, which completely ignited the hatred between Greece and Turkey. In 1974, Greece failed, and Turkey divided northern Cyprus. Now, Greece All he wants to do is to retake northern Cyprus!

However, of course the United States will not sit back and watch this event happen! The US Iraq War is entering the most critical stage! After the defeat of Tikrit, although the American army suffered a lot of casualties, they still marched towards Baghdad as a victor!

As long as Baghdad is captured, the United States will be able to build a new government, control Iraq's oil resources, and restore Kuwait to its country. The oil crisis it is now facing will also be solved, and the United States will station troops in Iraq and Kuwait. , Even if the Soviets control Saudi Arabia's oil resources, the United States can still control the situation in the Middle East.

For the United States, and for the entire West, the current war in the United States has entered a critical stage. How can they watch Turkey and Greece be provoked by the Soviet Union and enter a state of war?

Secretary of State George, like a firefighter, flew from the United States to Greece, to Athens, and met the current Greek President Konstantin Karamanlis.

This old man in his seventies was the most important Greek politician in the second half of the 20th century, the founder of the Greek New Democracy Party, and the architect of Greece's accession to the European Union. From 1961 to 1963, he served as the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Greece three times. In the 1970s, he successfully got Greece out of the military dictatorship and returned to civilian rule. He also served as the Prime Minister from 1974 to 1980, and is now the President of Greece.

"President Konstantin, you are a wise Greek statesman. You should be able to see the current situation clearly. The war between Greece and Turkey is something we don't want to see. It is not good for our entire Middle East strategy." Secretary of State George cut to the chase: "In 1974, the serious Cyprus confrontation was a choice made by the military government at that time, and now, you should be more restrained."

At that time, it was a military government, and the military government used gunpowder. Those soldiers have always had a very hard temper. Now, Constantine is a person who has experienced great storms. With his wisdom, he can see the current situation in Cyprus, and It is not suitable for war, especially, the United States does not want to see this!

"Yes, we have been very restrained." Constantine said: "If we did not mediate for NATO, as early as 1974, we had a full-scale war with Turkey, and now, we are not going to In the war with Turkey, we are only sending troops to help maintain law and order in Cyprus, is that also wrong?"

Politicians also have the position of politicians. Constantine is a Greek. As the president of Greece, he also inherited the unforgettable hatred between Greece and Turkey. This hatred cannot be resolved at all!

He has been very restrained. He did not start a full-scale war against Turkey, but only sent troops to maintain law and order in Cyprus. Is this also wrong?

Now the United States needs Turkey, so it has been standing in Turkey's position to take sides? Greece can't be so stupid all the time!

"Greece sends troops to Cyprus, which will increase the factors of local instability." George came on behalf of the US government, and his words were very heavy. Moreover, he had to use strong means to suppress such slenderness in Greece. The United States But the boss of the western world, the younger brothers don't listen to the boss's orders, that's okay?

"We hope that your ship will return immediately and return to Greece." Without looking at the face of President Constantine, who had turned into a pig's liver, George continued: "At the same time, we will also order the Turkish government not to send Cyprus. Troops, must not worsen the situation on the ground."

"However, Cyprus is very close to Turkey. Turkey can send troops to influence the local situation at any time, but we cannot respond in time." Constantine said: "Sorry, we cannot withdraw the troops that have been sent."

"President Constantine, I hope you can look at the overall situation! All of this is obviously provoked by the Soviets. The crisis in Greece and Turkey can only benefit the Soviets and damage our entire West. The interest of the world is our NATO! If you insist on going your own way, the entire NATO will not sit idly by, and we will reduce or even stop all military aid to Greece!"

George's words instantly softened Constantine. The domestic economy of Greece is simply not comparable to other capitalist countries in Western Europe. In order to fight against the Soviet Union in the Cold War, Western Europe was constantly supporting Greece, while Greece, That is to say, with the support of Western Europe, it is possible to maintain a huge army and maintain the normal operation of the entire country In the entire NATO, Turkey is a wonderful thing, and Greece is definitely a wonderful thing, the Greeks like to reach out and ask for it. Things, and when they ask for them, they will use them as their own. They have never thought of repaying them. In later generations, the Greek economy is in danger of collapsing. Crisis, but directly ask for money. Moreover, Greece has also released harsh words. If the EU refuses to continue to pay the bailout money, if Greece’s finances collapse, then Greece will hand over the documents for going abroad to illegal immigrants and import a large number of terrorists and economic immigrants into the EU.

This kind of threat from Chiguoguo really brings shame to the ancient country of Greece, one of the birthplaces of world civilization, who actually lived by touching porcelain and extorting money.

And now, when George talks about stopping these aids, Constantine is helpless, he has nowhere to go.

Frowning, he was just about to agree to the request of the United States, while thinking about how to do it behind his back, but Constantine saw his assistant and hurried in.

"President, it's not good. Our transport ship, the Corterrod, was hit by a torpedo near Rhode Island. The ship is sinking. There are a hundred tanks and more than 2,000 officers and soldiers on board. Now Life and death unknown!"
