Chapter 1222 Watch carefully, I will only demonstrate once (third update, please subscribe)
A more traditional way!
After receiving this report from his subordinates, Richard Selby, the CIA's deputy director for planning, said:
"Do those Nanyang people want to mobilize their fleet? They Do you think Cuba is Siam just around the corner? This is North America, not Southeast Asia."
While laughing, Selby said:
"However, we have saved them a lot of things. Soon, the Nanyang people will find that they don't need to dispatch a fleet at all. The United States will have to worry about the affairs in the American backyard!"
After that, he asked again:
"Has the Crusade started?"
"Tomorrow, Director."
Harry replied.
Different from previous denials, as early as last year, CIA Director Allen Dulles submitted a plan to the White House: to organize Cuban exiles gathered in Florida for training and to carry out secret activities within Cuba to overthrow Castro government. President Eisenhower agreed and said the United States would "assistance until the end" these anti-Castro guerrillas.
But before this plan could be implemented, Kennedy entered the White House.
Kennedy took over the CIA under Allen Dulles intact. Facing the new president, Dulles assured him that the invasion plan was "more promising than the plan to overthrow the Guatemalan government." Better” would not only succeed but also ensure future U.S. control of Cuba.
And their plan was directed by Richard Selby, the deputy director in charge of plans, known as the "smartest agent". It lasted for three years and brought together the geniuses of the entire system. Wisdom, therefore the likelihood of success is high.
Facing this guarantee, Kennedy naturally expressed his support. Of course, for Kennedy, who had just come to power, he was also eager to use a successful military operation to show his tough side from all over the United States, rather than being a rich boy who did nothing.
As the maker of the plan, Richard Selby was extremely conceited, so he said:
"After the "Operation Crusade" is successful, let's go and reap the thanks of Nanyang!"< br>
In this way, on this day, in North America, history is evolving in a fixed direction, and at the same time, on the other side of the earth.
Li Yi'an was listening to Cheng Peng'an's report. What was different from usual was that they were listening to the report while eating barbecue by the garden lake of Daming Palace.
“So the Americans have no corresponding actions?”
"At least that's what they told us - there won't be any action..."
Cheng Peng'an took a sip and put down the glass. He was not good at drinking, so a light sip would be enough,
< br>"Sir, you know that in the intelligence industry, anyone's answer is always dubious, even among allies."
"That's for sure!"
Li Yian also put down his wine glass, thought for a while and said:
"As for the United States, they will never allow a pro-Russian regime to appear in their backyard, so they will definitely intervene, but in a different way. If my prediction is correct, they will definitely use the intelligence agency to intervene. It's like what they did in Guatemala."
"But they will definitely not tell us. For them, this is their secret."
Cheng Pengan said with a chuckle:
"But the more they do this, the more it becomes clear that , they care about Cuba very much.”
“It’s just a cover-up.”
Li Yian nodded and continued,
"However, this matter is a good thing for us. After all, in the past, Americans always felt that we were making a fuss out of a molehill, and even accused us of directly invading a country. Just kidding, how can we allow others to sleep soundly in the bed? Americans didn’t understand it in the past, but now it’s better. They now understand that home is a good thing. What does it feel like to have a hostile country appear at the door? So, to a certain extent, they will understand why we are doing things, just for safety!”
Americans are always like this - always pretending to be white. Lotus, but this green tea bitch really has a way of pretending to be a "white lotus". He disguises himself very well. Unlike the Soviet Union, which always ended immediately.
But sometimes, when faced with life-threatening matters, can you still pretend to be someone else's?
"Where are the Americans..."
After taking a sip of wine, Li Yian said:
"They pretended to be white lotus flowers, and in the end they even deceived themselves."
Cheng Peng'an said puzzled: "What? Your Excellency?"
"If you want to survive in this world, how can you not get your hands dirty? White Lotus can pretend, but not all the time!"
Li Yian smiled when thinking of the upcoming fiasco. road.
"Okay, don't expect that rich young man to have such a strong will. Even if the Americans take action, it will be anticlimactic. At least Cuba will make the Americans understand that on some issues, you can't pretend to be a white lotus!"
< br>Subsequently, Li Yi'an chatted with Cheng Peng'an about matters in other regions, such as the situation in Iraq. After all, Iraq had long been in his plan. He was just waiting for the opportunity, but the time was still immature.
Just like what the Americans did in Cuba this time. Neither the timing nor the location of the action was appropriate.
“The Bay of Pigs, it’s like a bunch of fucking pigs!” The intelligence briefing the next day included a piece of intelligence from the United States: 1,500 Cuban exiles were commanded by two CIA officers. Under the direct cover of U.S. aircraft and U.S. Navy warships, they landed in the southern part of Las Villas Province in central Cuba, occupied Long Beach and Girón Beach, and continued to advance north.
Sure enough, it’s still the Bay of Pigs!
It was a sparsely populated and remote swamp area - the reason for choosing it was that it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. But this difficulty of defending and attacking is two-way. The exiles who landed were easy to defend, but it was also difficult to attack. , eventually lost support, and then was rounded up by others.
It is simply ridiculous to put intelligence personnel in charge of formulating military plans.
They are not professional in this matter!
Don’t they know how to find professionals?
While sneering in his heart, Li Yian continued to listen to the report.
“The Castro government immediately publicly condemned the invasion of US military aircraft to the United Nations, and the United States flatly denied it.”
While making this report, Cheng Pengan said with a wry smile:< br>
"Sir, as you said, in the face of Cuban protests, Kennedy directly called off the second round of air strikes."
This is Kennedy!
What happens next?
20,000 Cuban troops and militia fought against the invading exiles at the Bay of Pigs. Without US air cover, it was the Cuban Air Force's turn to show off its power. Two ships transporting ammunition were sunk by the Cuban army.
The battle lasted for three days, and all the exiles were annihilated. The long line of prisoners was photographed and became a classic picture on television stations in various countries.
“Ten years ago, I said that the United States has not yet learned the Cold War, but in ten years, it has almost matured. It seems that I made a mistake in judgment. Ten years later, the United States seems to be There is no progress at all, especially in terms of Cold War thinking."
Li Yi'an looked solemn and said slowly:
"Express to Washington our concerns about their judgment. If they cannot adapt to the basic principles of the Cold War, not taking action will have a greater effect than taking action. Not taking action can also scare the Soviet Union."
The study room immediately erupted. There was a burst of laughter. The relationship between Nanyang and the United States is complicated. Nanyang may be a small country, but it has national pride in its bones. It is naturally impossible to blindly follow the United States. When Nanyang diplomats face the United States, they are never short of ridicule.
“It’s strange, how could the United States fail to intervene in such a small country?”
Although he was a little puzzled, Li Guoren was still worried:
“In this case, We really have to worry about security issues, after all, the Russians are much stronger.”
"It's not that serious."
Li Yian just took the opportunity to laugh at the United States, rather than really thinking that the United States is not good.
Militarily, the deterrent power of the United States far exceeds that of the Soviet Union. From aircraft carriers to nuclear missiles, the Soviet Union does not have the former. As for the latter, the United States is also at an absolute advantage.
The United States is definitely not a paper tiger. Having said that, if the United States was a paper tiger, wouldn't the Soviet Union be much stronger if it stood side by side?
“The Bay of Pigs incident did not end the U.S. military, and the reason why the U.S. military did not end was because of Washington’s indecision. It was not just Kennedy, but even Eisenhower. The United States was hostile to Castro from the beginning. Others misjudged that they were just a group of warlords, and soon became as corrupt as Batista, and even colluded with the United States. ”
After sneering, Li Yian said sarcastically:
“Even after discovering that they had turned to the Soviet Union and threatened the national security of the United States, they did not dare to end the war directly, or to strike hard, even after they decided to use the exiles. , I still have too many worries and dare not let it go. This is simply a crime against the country!"
Throwing the report on the table, Li Yian said.
"This is what I said - until now, the United States has not understood what the Cold War is. There is no distinction between good and evil in the Cold War. There is only success or failure in the Cold War. The winner is the master of history, and the loser Therefore, when we encounter this kind of thing, we must be decisive. Once we make a decision, we must strike hard and there must be no hesitation. Let the politicians do the political things, and the military. Just win the war.”
In fact, throughout the Cold War, the United States was constantly learning.
Although the "Bay of Pigs Incident" made the United States disgraced, it has figured out one thing - the CIA is unreliable, so it needs to rely on the military.
So, a few years later, the US military began to continuously increase its troops in Saigon. But in Saigon, they made another big mistake - they did not dare to let the US military take action. Because of the lessons of the peninsula, they held down the hand of the US military.
Throughout the Vietnam War, U.S. air strikes in Vietnam were limited to preventing the North Vietnamese from supplying their troops and preventing overland routes for northern troops to fight in the south.
It was not until the end of the war that in order to force Hanoi to negotiate, "Operation Linebacker II" was implemented - bombing Hanoi and other places. It aimed to destroy important military facilities, railway lines, energy plants, factories Among other high-value targets, the bombing resulted in the destruction of 1,600 military installations, miles of railroad lines, hundreds of trucks and train cars, 80 percent of power plants, and countless factories and other buildings.
More than ten days later, Hanoi returned to the negotiating table, and the United States was finally able to leave Vietnam with dignity. However, those generals knew very well that if they could have carried out the "Christmas bombing" a few years ago, "The United States simply will not spend so much money and shed so much blood there.
Therefore, the US military has learned another lesson - when fighting, let the generals do whatever they want.
Ever since, the Gulf War more than ten years later blinded the world.
Although I understand, the American side is still studying, like a primary school student waiting to copy homework!
After thinking about it, Li Yian said:
"Okay, since they want to copy the homework, then... well, let's show them once and let them watch it!"
