Chapter 1408 The Black Sea Fleet Goes to Sea

isH Section 1408 Black Sea Fleet goes to sea

Under such circumstances, Li Cong met with the person in charge of the Skull and Bones in Europe. In fact, the position of the person in charge is not qualified to meet with Li Cong in person. Know exactly what Europa means, is it really going to make dumplings for them? If this is the case, then both of them need to admire Europa's courage. It really takes a lot of courage to dare to go to war with the other two powers, especially Europa is at a disadvantage among the powerful forces of the three parties, which requires them even more The courage, but it is not small to see them directly block the Mediterranean Sea. .

"Please sit down, I don't know what you call it?" A tall woman appeared in front of Li Cong. If she hadn't been introduced as a woman, no one would have been able to recognize the 1.8-meter-long woman in front of her at this moment. The big guy belongs to a woman, yes, he is the head of the Skull and Bones in Europe, Danny, a relatively masculine name, if you think she is a woman and underestimate her, you will definitely suffer. The number of people who died at the hands of this woman is at least three digits. Of course, these people were all killed by him.

"Just call me Danny, Mr. Li. Although it's the first time I've met you, my growth in the past 30 years has come from listening to your myths. Our two families have had good cooperation before. , I hope we can cooperate successfully this time." This guy is very capable, but Li Cong will not be confused by these superficial phenomena in front of him. How could there be a fool who came out of the Skull and Bones? Taking this seat, he must not be a rich man, and must have his own skills. He nodded and didn't continue, but went directly to the topic.

"Miss Danny, we have had good cooperation, but your first division has arrived in Sicily, which is not what we hope to happen. This seems to be outside the scope of our cooperation. It is in the navy, I think you should let you solve the problems of your army yourself." Li Cong said, in fact, according to the latest news, the First Division has fully occupied Sicily, but the situation they are facing is not very good. , The black party's full-scale counter-offensive has also begun. They are broken into pieces. It is absolutely fine for the US First Division to confront others head-on. It is definitely the scar of the entire U.S. Army. Facts have proved that their daily casualties of thousands of people are indeed a bit uncomfortable. There were only so many casualties during the Iraq War, but here, only two days One-tenth of the troops have gone to see God, and no one knows what will happen if it continues, but the losses of the black gang members are also very huge. Basically, as long as one American soldier dies, there will be five black gang members immediately Members pay for their lives.

"Mr. Li, I want to explain this to you well." This girl had no chance to continue, and Li Cong waved his hand to stop the woman from continuing to speak, so he has no time to argue with you right now.

"Miss Danny, you have to know that what I said is the truth, if you don't want to continue to cooperate,

Then start explaining your own affairs. I have a plan, which is to gather all our navies in one place, and our two fleets have a unified command. This is the only way to keep us. Of course, you don’t have to Accept, I can't force you, both of our fleets are very powerful, if we are together, we can fight Europa's fleet, but if we separate, we may be defeated by them one by one. "Li Cong pointed to the map and said that time is urgent now, and there is indeed not so much time to talk about it.

"Mr. Li's idea is very important. I think we should gather at the center of our fleets." Danny was not angry when Li Cong said this. After all, the fleet is more important than the first division. Besides, with the current ability of the first division, even if Europa's heavy troops are on top, it will be difficult to do anything to them.

Now the army that Europa can use is about 2 million. Among them, Li Cong's several military bases contain nearly 700,000 troops. In addition to the 500,000 troops that are still being reorganized, Europa still needs 500,000 troops. Garrison, the army they can use now is only about 300,000. It will take a while for the 300,000 troops to completely annihilate the 50,000 people in the First Division. There are many battles.

"Sir, something went wrong???" Just as Li Cong and Danny were about to continue their conversation, Karelina hurried in, but it was hard to say anything in front of Danny.

"It's okay, we are allies now." Li Cong said with a smile, it is impossible to cover up the matter at this time, it must be resolved immediately, and seeing Karelina's appearance in front of her, this is definitely not a trivial matter .

"Well, sir, the Russian Black Sea Fleet has set sail, and the target is the sea." The expressions of Li Cong and Danny immediately changed. Although Lao Maozi's various strengths are the weakest among the great powers, they are very important now. No matter which side they stand at this moment, it is very important.

The Eurasian Black Sea is an inland sea in Eurasia. The area is about 424,000 square kilometers. The Black Sea is connected to the Mediterranean through the Turkish Strait. Important rivers that flow into the Black Sea are the Danube and the Dnieper. Lao Maozi's Black Sea Fleet is stationed in this inland sea.

The Black Sea Fleet (Russian: черномий флот) is a Russian (and Soviet) naval fleet. The range of operations of this fleet is the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. It has several bases in the Black Sea and the Sea of ​​Azov. Its main base is the Ukrainian port city of Sevanburg. Russia's continued use of the port as its military base after the collapse of the Soviet Union has led to repeated diplomatic clashes between the two countries over the past decade. According to the treaty, Russia will withdraw from Sevastopol in 2017. Russia pays Ukraine $100 million a year as rent for its bases. After the establishment of Great Russia, Ukraine was directly annexed, and there was no such thing as rent.

The Russian Black Sea Fleet was founded in 1785 during the period of Catherine II. It formed a unified and powerful Tsarist Russian Navy together with the Baltic Fleet and the Far East Okhotsk Fleet. It ranked third in the world's navy at that time.

In the history of more than 2 years, it has participated in the Crimean War and the First World War. During the Great Patriotic War, it participated in the defense of Sevastopol and Odessa, and gradually developed into one of the four major fleets of the former Soviet Union.

During the Cold War, the strategic mission of the Black Sea Fleet was to control the Turkish Strait, go out of the Mediterranean Sea to deal with the US Navy's 6th Fleet; destroy the oil routes in Europe and the sea communication lines from the United States to Asia; cross the Strait of Gibraltar, enter the Atlantic Ocean, and encircle Europe from the southern flank; Indian Ocean Squadron.

When the former Soviet Union disintegrated, the Black Sea Fleet had a total of 833 large and small ships, including 45 large surface ships, 28 submarines, more than 150 aircraft, 85 shipboard helicopters and a large number of coastal defense and air defense equipment, with a total force of about 80,000 people.

The Black Sea Fleet is the only all-weather fleet in the former Soviet Navy that is not afraid of freezing and siege. The main base and fleet headquarters are located in Sevastopol on the Crimean Peninsula. The Crimea Peninsula is located in southern Ukraine, with an area of ​​270,000 square kilometers and a population of about 2.5 million. The Crimea peninsula was annexed to Russia in 1783, and in 1954 the Supreme Soviet of the former Soviet Union assigned the peninsula to the Ukrainian republic. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Black Sea Fleet became the primary target of competition between Russia and Ukraine.

Due to unknown status, the Black Sea Fleet still flies the flag of the former Soviet Navy. In August 1992, Russia and Ukraine reached an agreement in Yalta to turn the Black Sea Fleet into a joint Russian-Ukrainian fleet under the joint command of the two countries. In June 1995, the two countries formally decided to split the fleet in two. Because most of the ships in the fleet are in disrepair, Ukraine only receives 3% of the ships, and sells the rest to Russia at a discount. Progress has been made in the division of ships, but the two sides have serious differences over the lease of the Sevastopol base. The Russian side requested a long-term lease and use of the base alone to re-establish the Russian Black Sea Fleet, but was rejected by the Uzbek side.

After the establishment of Great Russia, it became the residence of the Great Russian Black Sea Fleet. The Black Sea Fleet has four periods in history, namely the Tsarist Russian period, the Soviet period, the Russian period, and the Great Russian Federation period.

During Tsarist Russia, in 1783, Tsar Catherine the Great ordered the establishment of the Black Sea Fleet, and its earliest ships were the ships of the Azov Sea Fleet established by Peter the Great in 1995. The fleet was quickly expanded with new ships. In the 18th and 19th centuries the Black Sea Fleet fought mainly against the Turkish and French fleets.

In the Crimean War, the Black Sea Fleet initially fought successfully against the Turkish fleet, but after the arrival of the British Royal Navy and the French fleet, its actions were passive, limited to protecting Sevastopol, and its ships were only used to float on the water. coastal battery. The crews of the remaining ships after the sacking of Sevastopol in 1856 sank their ships. The Crimean War ended with the Paris Peace Treaty signed on March 18, 1856: Russia was prohibited from fortifying the Aran Islands in the Baltic Sea, southern Moldavia was assigned to Turkey, the protection of the Danube countries was given up, and warships of all countries were not allowed to enter the Black Sea , Russia can only have 10 small boats in the Black Sea. But at a conference in London in 1871 this restriction was lifted again.

After the October Revolution, the Black Sea Fleet held the red flag of the Bolsheviks. In the subsequent civil war, in order to prevent the Black Sea Fleet from falling into the hands of the White Army and foreign invasion forces, Lenin ordered the fleet to sink on June 18, 1918.

Then the fleet entered the Soviet period, and the Black Sea Fleet was rebuilt after the war. Ships that were sunk in the past were salvaged and repaired, and new ships were launched. The Black Sea Fleet actively fought against Germany and its allies in World War II. In addition to naval battles, soldiers from the Black Sea Fleet were also used as an army. The main battles included the defense of Sevastopol, the landing of Kerch, and the Battle of the Crimea.

After World War II, the Black Sea Fleet was expanded into a modern, strategic fleet. In addition to the Black Sea, its range of operations also extends to the Mediterranean Sea. On May 7, 1965, in honor of the victory over fascism, the Black Sea Fleet was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the ships of the Black Sea Fleet were divided between Ukraine and Russia. Due to its economic and financial strains Ukraine was unable to maintain its fleet. It is also difficult for Russia to guarantee the combat capability of its fleet.

For Russia, the Black Sea Fleet has very important historical and political value, but its military value dropped sharply after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. After Turkey joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in 1952, the Bosporus Strait was controlled by the West, and the strategic value of the Black Sea Fleet also decreased. At the same time, the acquisition of nuclear weapons by other Soviet fleets also gained greater strategic value than the Black Sea Fleet.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the entire Soviet fleet was divided into independent countries at this time, and its importance almost completely disappeared. The status of the Black Sea Fleet remained unknown for many years until an agreement was reached between the Soviet Union and Ukraine. Russia pays Ukraine $970,000 a year as a berthing fee.

After 1992, due to regional conflicts in the Caucasus region (especially in Georgia) and this region as a necessary place for transportation, the Black Sea Fleet received new tasks. Naval aviation, marines and transport ships of the Black Sea Fleet participated in supportive or direct combat in the Chechen war.

After the establishment of Great Russia, it can be a period of rapid development of the Black Sea Fleet. For the first time, the Black Sea Fleet ushered in a large aircraft carrier of more than 100,000 tons, although compared with the aircraft carriers of energy groups, Americans, and even Europa. The gap, but how can I say that the Black Sea Fleet has also completed a qualitative transformation.

Now the Black Sea Fleet has three large aircraft carriers, three small and medium-sized aircraft carriers, six conventional submarines, three cruisers, 12 destroyers, 20 frigates, about 250 other surface ships of various types, and 560 combat aircraft of various types. This time the fleet is definitely the main force of the fleet. At least 90% of the fleet has already been dispatched. This is definitely a fatal blow to the fleet of the Energy Group and the Skull and Bones. It is estimated that they will not pose any threat to them, but if these people come to join forces with Europa, then the fleet of Li Cong and the Skull and Bones will be in danger at this time. The fleet of Great Russia just needs to block the Strait of Istanbul, and then send out It is enough to have your own air force to help Europa's fleet.

"Mr. Li, the most important thing now is the Turkish Strait." Danny also quickly saw this most important thing on the map. If Europa can block their fleet in the Mediterranean, then they can also block the old man's The fleet was blocked in the Black Sea.

The Istanbul Strait connects the Black Sea and the Sea of ​​Marmara, and separates the Asian part of Turkey from the European part (29 degrees zero minutes east longitude, 41 degrees zero minutes north latitude). The total length is 30 kilometers (19 miles). The widest part of the north estuary is 3.7 kilometers, and the narrowest part between the two castles of the Ottoman Empire, Rumelichisal and Anadolu Fenelli, is 750 meters (

450 feet). The midstream depth ranges from 36.5124 meters (120408 feet). In the middle of the strait, there is a rapid flow from the Black Sea to the Marmara Sea, and there is another countercurrent under the water surface that brings the salty seawater from the Marmara Sea to the Black Sea. Fishing is thriving as fish schools pass through the strait to and from the Black Sea seasonally. The trees on both sides of the strait are lush, and villages, tourist attractions, gorgeous residences and villas are dotted. And then there's the Dardanelles.

The Dardanelles (gn), formerly known as the Hellespont, is written in Turkish. Dardanelles t. The strait connecting the Sea of ​​Marmara and the Aegean Sea. It belongs to the inland sea of ​​Turkey and is also one of the dividing lines between Asia and Europe. It is often called the Turkish Strait together with the Sea of ​​Marmara and the Bosphorus. It is part of the famous Turkish Straits.

The two of them together form the Turkish Strait. If you want to block this place, Turkey's meaning must be clear. Although Turkey has not yet joined any of Europa and Great Russia, it is obvious that he does not want to get involved at this time. , because in the struggle of big countries, if a small country like them gets involved, it will be sacrificed.

The Turkish Strait, known as the "throat of the world", is the only strait leading to the Black Sea, so it is also called the Black Sea Strait. It includes three parts: the Bosporus Strait, the Marmara Sea and the Dardanelles, with a total length of 345 meters. The entire strait is northeast-southwest, and it is the dividing line between Asia and Europe. The northeast end is the Bosporus Strait, the southwest end is the Dardanelles, and between the two straits is the Marmara Sea, the inland sea of ​​Turkey. Sovereignty on both sides of the Taiwan Strait belongs to Türkiye. The Turkish Strait is an important sea traffic channel, connecting the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, and is the only outlet to the sea for Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Georgia and other countries. During the Cold War, both the United States and the Soviet Union established the Black Sea Strait as one of the most important maritime throats in the world. After the Cold War, NATO still regarded the Black Sea Strait as one of the strategic points of Eurasia.

The Turkish Strait is an important sea traffic channel, connecting the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, and is the only outlet to the sea for Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Georgia and other countries. The gorge area has a Mediterranean climate, with calm seas for most of the year, slow currents, few beaches and reefs, and superior shipping conditions, so the sea shipping is very busy, with about 40,000 ships passing through each year, hundreds of warships, and a total tonnage of 400 million tons. Left and right (excluding warships). The Turkish Strait is the throat of West Asia, North Africa and Southern Europe leading to the Black Sea. This unique geographical location makes it a battleground for military strategists no matter in the past, present or future. For nearly two centuries, the European powers have waged a long and fierce struggle for control of the strait. Among them, Russia has launched wars against Turkey several times for this reason, and British and French troops have also occupied the Strait area. In 1936, the countries concerned held an international conference on the Turkey Strait issue and reached an agreement. It stipulates that ships of all countries can freely pass through the strait, and warships of countries bordering the Black Sea can also pass through, with the exception of aircraft carriers, but there are certain restrictions on the passage of warships of countries not bordering the Black Sea. Today, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Warsaw Pact no longer exists, NATO is actively expanding eastward, and Turkey has joined NATO and become the southern wing of NATO. Therefore, the strategic position of the Turkish Strait has become increasingly prominent, and it has an important impact on the global strategies of world powers. For the Commonwealth of Independent States (mainly Russia), the Turkish Strait is a strategic barrier for its southward access to the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean. It is related to the vital interests of the United States and NATO, so it will not be taken lightly. Therefore, the Turkish Strait has rightly become the focus of attention of the world today. After NATO disappeared, Turkey directly took over the entire strait. Although it is difficult to control such a strait in terms of its national strength, countries in the world now have no extra time to manage them.

"Sir, our people from Turkey have sent back news that they want to be neutral and will not care about anyone's actions." After finishing speaking, Karelina couldn't help but feel indignant at these people in Turkey, since you don't care what you want , should block the warring sea area, what is it now? It is impossible for the energy group and the Americans to have extra fleets entering the Black Sea. This regulation can only be convenient for Great Russia. It seems that Great Russia has also put a lot of effort in Turkey.

"These unfamiliar wolves." Danny said bitterly, and Li Cong remembered that Turkey was the little brother of the Americans before, and the relationship has always been good.

Türkiye is a big country in the Middle East, spanning Eurasia

Strategic position is very important. After the end of World War II, the relationship between Türkiye and the United States has become closer and closer. Turkey, which was founded by Islam, joined NATO in 1952 and formed a strategic alliance with the United States. Turkey allowed the United States to establish military bases in its territory to monitor and collect intelligence on the former Soviet Union. However, with the changes in the international and domestic situation, there have been frictions in the US-Turkey relations. In 1975, the United States imposed an arms embargo on Turkey for three years because of its invasion of Cyprus, and the relationship between the two countries suddenly fell to the bottom. But after the embargo was lifted, the strategic cooperation between the two countries resumed immediately. From 1991 to 23, the US reconnaissance planes against Iraq flew out of its base in Turkey.

In addition, Turkey has participated in several major military cooperation projects of the Pentagon, including the much-anticipated f-35 joint strike fighter. Turkey has invested 175 million U.S. dollars and is expected to purchase one after the fighter is released; Turkey is also preparing to smash 16 100 million US dollars to upgrade the existing more than 2 f. Coupled with the military procurement project announced by the Turkish government earlier, including the purchase of the Patriot III missile defense system for US$1.3 billion, the purchase of 52 Black Hawk helicopters for US$800 million, the purchase of 10 heavy helicopters for US$500 million, and a total of between $152 billion, 30 to 50 Apache or Cobra combat helicopters.

During the Iraq War, the United States set up military bases and important military-related facilities in Turkey, with as many as 50 permanent military personnel. Although in 23 years when the United States launched a force against Iraq, Turkey, out of self-interest, refused the United States to open up the northern battlefield, but now 70% of the air cargo sent by the United States to Iraq uses Turkey's Incirli base to provide fuel for Iraqi operations A third passes through Turkish roads.

The relationship between Turkey and the United States is very complicated, and the local people's sentiment against the United States is quite common. According to recent opinion polls, only 11% of the Turkish people’s favorable opinion of the United States remains in 2037, and this indicator will still have 38% in 24 years. However, the pro-American attitude of Turkish government officials is obvious. Although Turkey has long been a member of NATO, it has not yet joined the European Union. Therefore, after the establishment of Europa, Turkey did not take the initiative to join, but the relationship with the Americans is not as good as before. Although the Americans still have troops in Turkey, they are not as good as before. Compared with the Great Freedom of China, there is now a lot more helplessness. This event is a rise, and they dare to help Great Russia, but Great Russia and the others are mortal enemies, and there have been many fights in history.

Historically, a series of wars between the Russian Empire and Ottoman Turkey between the 17th and 19th centuries to compete for the Caucasus, the Balkans, Crimea, and the Black Sea lasted 241 years intermittently, with an average of less than 19 years. There was a large-scale war, 11 of which were important. Russia lost four and won seven. Although the territory captured was not large, only two small mountainous Christian countries in Moldova and the Caucasus, it dealt a blow to the authority of Ottoman Turkey and shook its rule.

It stands to reason that Turkey used to be an empire spanning Eurasia, but now it can only be regarded as a big country in the Middle East, especially during the tenth Russo-Turkish war, it can be said that the two sides fought particularly tragically.

The Ottoman Empire (12991922) was once a great empire spanning Europe, Asia and Africa. But already in decline by the second half of the 19th century, in order to save the empire, to Mustafa? People of insight led by Reshid Pasha and Midhat Pasha launched a series of national salvation campaigns and carried out democratic reforms. At the end of 1875, the internal and external situation of the Ottoman Empire (1299-1922) deteriorated rapidly. There was a great famine in the northern and central regions of Asia Minor, the finances were on the verge of collapse, and the shadow of foreign powers' interference shrouded the whole country. In this situation, domestic political struggles are heating up. On May 30, 1876, Abdul? Aziz was overthrown and Murad V was established as Sultan. August 31 Abdul? Hamid II succeeded the insane Murad as sultan. It became a Western-style bourgeois constitutional monarchy, but ethnic conflicts spread under the banner of democracy. Uprisings broke out successively in Herzegovina, Bosnia and Bulgaria, and soon spread to Serbia and Montenegro, the two Turkish vassal states. Turkey brutally suppressed the rebels, but failed to control the changes in the northwestern Balkans, and its rule in the Balkans began to falter.

Faced with this situation, among the European powers, Russia, Austria, and Britain expressed their special concern. Russia, in particular, believes that the Crimean War in 1853-1856 made it lose face and lose its prestige and influence in the Balkans. It needs to find an opportunity to return to the Balkans and restore everything it had before. More importantly, Russia wants to control the Balkans and then control the Bosphorus Strait, the throat from the Mediterranean Sea to the Black Sea, in order to open up the only sea outlet in the southwest that it has been seeking for a long time. Therefore, it gloats at the deterioration of the situation in Turkey and actively intervenes.

Under the banner of "saving the Christians under the oppression of the Turkish Empire" and "protecting the Slavic brothers", the tsarist government first put pressure on the Turkish government through diplomatic channels, but the effect was not significant. Its proposal to protect the Slavs collectively was opposed by Britain, backed by Austria-Hungary. It then proposed self-government in Bosnia, Herzegovina and Bulgaria, which was also rejected by Turkey.

Relying on the support of the United Kingdom, Turkey tried to completely defeat the insurgents on the battlefield and Serbia and Montenegro, which declared war on Turkey on June 30, 1976. When the situation on the battlefield was clearly in favor of the Turkish government, the Tsar officially declared war on Turkey on April 24, 1977. In May, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro all announced that they would join Russia in fighting against Turkey.

On the eve of the war, Russia had 48 infantry divisions with a total of 720,000 people and 30 guns, forming 16 armies. According to Minister of War Dmitry? Alexievich? The combat plan formulated by Milyutin was to deploy 9 armies on the front line, of which 2 armies formed the Caucasus Army with 100,000 people, led by the emperor's brother Mikhail? Under the command of Grand Duke Nikolai Navic, militias from Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Oshetia and other places joined the Caucasus Army and took the defensive position. Concentrating 7 armies and 300,000 people on the Danube front, Russian general Nikolai? Grigorievich? The Bulgarian militia under the command of Stoletov also joined the Danube Army. It is expected that the Turkish army in front of them will not exceed 150,000 on the battlefield because of the division of troops to suppress the Bulgarians. Break through Istanbul before reacting to decide the outcome of the battle. The commander of the Danube Army is the emperor's younger brother Nicholas? Grand Duke Nikolaevich, but Tsar Alexander II of Russia and the entire court were with him, and it was Chief of Staff Milyutin who actually commanded the operations.

After the Ottoman Empire (12991922) underwent military reforms, the entire army had 406,000 people and 858 guns, of which 280,000 were concentrated in Europe. Abdul? Kerim? Nadir Pasha conducts. 126,000 in Asia, by Ahmed? Mukhtar? Pasha commanded. Turkey Turkey's Black Sea Fleet has 22 armored ships, 82 non-armored ships, 763 naval guns, and 15,000 officers and soldiers. It has an advantage over the newly-built Russian Black Sea Fleet in terms of quality. The commander is Hobartpa, a British convert to Islam. Xia was ordered to block the Black Sea. Considering that the army is not enough to attack, it is determined to rely on the four corners of the Danube and the Balkan Mountains for in-depth defense, waiting for assistance from Western countries. The Russian army has advantages over the Turkish army in terms of military organization, troop training, quality of commanders, and troop morale, but it is not as good as the Turkish army in terms of the quality of weapons and equipment, because the Turkish army's weapons come from Britain, Germany and the United States.

After the war began, the Russian army was in full swing and captured a large area of ​​Turkey in one fell swoop. The victory of the Russian army caused panic in Britain and the Austro-Hungarian Empire on 719. British Benjamin? Disraeli's government sent a Royal Navy squadron into the Sea of ​​Marmara in a gesture of rupture, which forced Russia to abandon its plan to march on Constantinople. On January 31, the warring parties signed an armistice agreement, and on March 3, 1878, the "Treaty of San Stefano" was signed. The treaty was made by Russian Foreign Minister Alexander? Mikhailovich? What Gorchakov, the Tsar and others concocted in advance was completely an alliance under the city for Turkey, and there was no room for maneuver. The treaty stipulates: Turkey recognizes the complete independence of the three countries of Montenegro, Serbia and Romania; recognizes that Bosnia and Herzegovina has gained autonomy, but remains within the territory of Turkey; establishes the Greater Bulgarian State and allows Russian forces to exist in Bulgaria; The southwestern part of Rabia was returned to Russia, and Kars, Batumi Ardahan, and Bayazit were incorporated into the Russian territory; the rules of passage through the Bosporus Strait were revised to allow the passage of warships from Russia and other countries along the Black Sea.

The signing of the "San Stefano Peace Treaty" aroused strong dissatisfaction from Britain, Austria and other countries, and they jointly exerted pressure on Russia, asking it to spit out the fruit it had swallowed. German Chancellor Otto? Feng? Bismarck stepped forward to mediate, claiming to be an honest intermediary. Because the balance of power was extremely unfavorable to Russia, Russia was forced to reset the "Berlin Treaty" with the powers and make major amendments to the "San Stefano Peace Treaty": Great Bulgaria Transformation It became little Bulgaria; the Bosphorus remained closed to Russian warships. Russia's influence in the Balkans has been curbed, and its attempt to develop naval power in the direction of the Mediterranean has once again failed. It simply reclaimed territory ceded in the Crimean War. The Treaty of Berlin also stipulated that Turkey ceded Cyprus to the United Kingdom, while Bosnia and Herzegovina returned to the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It essentially partitioned Turkey in part, but it fell far short of resolving many of the vitally important Balkan conflicts. It was it that made many of the decisions that later became the conflicts that played an important role in the outbreak of the First World War.

Let’s not talk about the other powers. From Turkey’s point of view, their weakness started from then on. Everything started because of Russia’s attack. It can be said that they are feuds, but why did they help Great Russia this time?

"Danny, the situation is very urgent now. I need you to understand that we cannot have any reservations now. Although we have no specific news, I can be sure that the current situation in the Mediterranean is that our two houses join hands, Europa and Red Cedar has teamed up, we are stronger than them in the world, but we don't have that ability in the Mediterranean, you have been operating in Turkey for so many years, don't tell me you can't block the Turkish Strait." Li Cong looked that he was approaching Turkey The Great Russian Black Sea Fleet in the strait said that if they really come out and Europa’s fleet enters the sea again, then the strength comparison will at least reach 1:15, plus the shore-based aircraft along the way, then the energy group and the Americans will But there is no advantage at all. Europa's blockade is really ruthless enough, and it directly prevents the energy group and the Americans from supporting them by sea.

"I understand, but I hope that Mr. Li's power in the area around the Black Sea can be assigned to me." Danny is not a person who talks too much nonsense. Compared with most Skull and Bones members, Li Cong still likes this person in front of him very much. He immediately asked Karelina to go down to assist him. The time was urgent, and now he couldn't afford to delay. The Great Russian fleet might sail out of the Black Sea in a few hours.

Li Cong didn't even want to contact the old acquaintances on the redwood tree. Those people there wished to kill themselves at the moment. How could they discuss things with him? If it wasn't for him, they probably saved it After so many years, things will not be directly spoiled by myself. It is precisely because of the robbery there that Li Cong now has a special diamond exhibition hall. up.

Not long after Danny left, Li Cong also received a notice that the strategic transport air force in the United States began to start, and thousands of tons of supplies began to fly towards the garrison of the First Division. They may have to refuel in the Middle East Flying directly to Sicily, they also understand that the matter in front of them is not so easy to mess with, and they need to fight a protracted battle. The first division, the energy group will not have any assistance, they can only be on my own.

In a certain air force base in the United States, dozens of large 35 transport planes carrying a large number of weapons and ammunition began to take off. Beside them, there were hundreds of F35 and the newly developed F37 multi-purpose aircraft escorting them. The mission is to send the necessary weapons and ammunition to the First Division so that they can withstand the first wave of attacks. In the next few days, these pilots may have to eat and live on the plane. The medal is adding a few dollars.

At the same time, the energy group's sales channels in Europe also began to send thousands of tons of fuel to Sicily. During the war, energy has always been the most transported thing. Although Li Cong said he would not care about the first division, But it is still possible within the scope of his own permission. According to the agreement between Li Cong and other countries, as long as he does not interrupt the energy supply to other countries, he can use energy at will even in the territory of his hostile country. Europa knew that the thousands of tons of energy in the hands of the First Division would at least kill tens of thousands of them, but they didn't have the guts to stop Li Cong, because an energy embargo might kill them.
