Chapter 800 (1/2)
If the coup does not end in a day, it will undoubtedly turn into a civil war.
More than two weeks ago, the Turkish military launched a coup in Istanbul.
The F16 suddenly changed its course when completing its routine flight mission, flew over Istanbul, and opened fire on the presidential palace with machine guns. However, Erdogan was not in the presidential palace because he temporarily changed his itinerary, so he was lucky to avoid the attack.
The rebel F16 was immediately locked in by the ground air defense system and shot down in northern Istanbul.
After learning of the coup launched by the army, Erdogan immediately convened a meeting of the supreme military commission, ruled out the newly established presidential guard which was completely loyal to him 16 years later, arrested the coup participants, and surrounded the command post of the 14th mechanical brigade suspected of participating in the coup.
The 15th infantry brigade and the 31st armored battalion exchanged fire with the 14th mechanical brigade in the western urban area of Istanbul, forcing them to withdraw in the direction of samandra and were annihilated during the retreat. At the same time, four armored brigades and two mechanized brigades stationed in the southwest of Istanbul announced their support for the coup, calling Istanbul's rebels compatriots, vowing to overthrow Erdogan's government and promote the process of Turkey's secularization.
for a time, the spark of the coup ignited the smoke of civil war, and the two sides launched fierce exchanges of fire in southwest Turkey, with fighters and artillery shells From time to time across the city and towns over the sky. No one expected that the coup would turn into such a fierce civil war.
But for some, it's all expected.
At the moment, in the mountains of southeastern Turkey, the city of Batman is under military control.
At the northern airport, a C5 ”galaxy” transport plane crossed the Turkish Iraqi border in the dark and landed on the runway with flashing lights.
The plane stopped steadily, the door opened, and the gun barrel of the tank pointed ferociously outside the cabin and stopped steadily in the cabin. Several soldiers waiting beside the airport stepped forward and carefully transported the equipment in the cabin out of the transport plane.
An officer in desert camouflage came out of the cabin, accompanied by two bodyguards, to the captain of the 22nd armored brigade, kolbu.
Colb gave the officer a hand, and after the latter saluted, they walked to the airport.
”Three 1A2 main battle tanks, 40 tons of ammunition supply. There will be 40 more 1A2 coming in from the Iraqi border. You must keep this corridor to Iraq, unless you want to lose supplies. ” Walking next to colb, Colonel Bertram from Europe said in a deep voice.
”It's up to me,” said Kolb solemnly. ”The soldiers of the 22nd armored brigade will never give Batman to Erdogan government”
the size of the Turkish army is the second largest in NATO, but only in terms of scale.
The tanks of the armored forces are mainly type 60 of the cold war period, supplemented by the German ”leopard” 1 tank. There are even 24 Xiafei tanks in service during World War II. There are two such antiques in the 22nd armored battalion.
With the help of 1A2, the weakness of the 22nd armored brigade in armored units will undoubtedly be brought back.
”it's up to you to secularize Turkey,” Colonel Bertram said solemnly, patting him on the shoulder, ”if necessary, you can ask the Kurds for help. They are all born warriors. As long as they use independence as bait, they will not miss this opportunity
On hearing this, colb frowned slightly.
”Kurds, I don't believe them”
”if you want to win this war, you have to believe them.” Looking at the Turkish officer without expression, Colonel Bertram said faintly, ”even the infidels, as long as they can be used by us, are our allies. It's a Freemasonry decision, and you should understand what I mean
Colb held his breath.
Of course he understood what Colonel Bertram meant.
If this is a decision made by the Freemasonry, then he is just a brigadier of the rebel army, and certainly has no right to intervene.
”In addition, volunteers from Europe will join the war. At that time, our people will enter the country with American equipment from the Iraqi border. The position of the United States will be awkward, or the administration of xi'an-lari will be embarrassed. NATO fighters will not help Turkey bomb its own people, even its criminals. Do you understand what I mean ”
