Chapter 1452 Big Brother becomes the scapegoat (second update, please subscribe)
Kennedy was assassinated at 12:30 pm Dallas time, and his death was announced at 1:30 pm local time. It was twelve o'clock at night in Moscow, a cold night of rain and snow.
Such weather is normal in Russia.
Like many people, Heda Corn was woken up, and soon everyone was woken up. At midnight that day, no matter what they were doing, they were all called together, and black Geese cars were driving on the streets of Moscow.
Soon, a crowd gathered at the meeting on the Kremlin weapons depot building.
The conference room is about 15 meters long and 7.5 meters wide, which is not very spacious compared to the power contained in it. A long T-shaped table occupies most of the space, and the table is covered with a green countertop.
As in the past, Khrushchev sat at the horizontal end of the "T" and others sat on both sides of the "I". The difference between power and status lies in this detail.
"Well, everyone already knows what happened. Kennedy was assassinated."
Looking at the comrades around him, Heda Corn said directly:
"Now, it is very likely that we will be considered to be the instigators behind all this!"
When saying this, Khrushchev took a long drag on his cigarette.
"Yes, this is very possible. After all, the whole world knows that two months ago, we provided a lot of help to black people in the United States."
Brezhnev said.
"Now that Kennedy is suddenly assassinated, no need to ask, the whole world will suspect that we did it."
"Help?"
Khrushchev frowned and asked:
"Don't you know how much help we have provided to them? The weapons we transported from Cuba have just been delivered there, but an uprising has already occurred in Detroit. Shelepin, tell everyone what happened at that time Son?”
"That's right. According to the decision made at the meeting, we provided all-round help to black people in the United States, including weapons, funds and other support to help them get rid of the oppression of white Americans."
Xie Lieping said:
"At that time, our people purchased a batch of weapons there, a batch of weapons made by the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, ranging from rifles to anti-tank rockets, so we provided that batch of weapons to the locals."
Then he specifically emphasized:
"But later we discovered that before and after the uprising, unidentified people provided more weapons to the locals, AK rifles, RPG rockets, the number was far beyond our imagination.
It is precisely because they have a large number of weapons that such a large-scale uprising broke out there. ”
After his words fell, Brezhnev asked directly.
"So the uprising in Detroit was not planned by us."
"We planned it, but there were people there who were adding fuel to the fire."
As soon as Xie Lieping finished speaking, someone said:
"This is not adding fuel to the flames at all, but making us take the blame."
Isn't this just taking the blame?
Even if they themselves want to create turmoil within the United States, it does not feel comfortable to be used like this.
What makes them even more uncomfortable is that they have no idea who planned this incident. Even the KGB is a little suspicious. The Detroit Uprising was written and directed by Americans to solve the black problem in the country.
Of course the CIA can do this kind of thing.
But now they have no definite evidence, so of course they will not raise this issue for the time being. However, they are certain that someone planned all of this, and the Soviet Union became the scapegoat.
And what's even more annoying?
It was the United States that intercepted the arms shipped from Cuba, which naturally further confirmed that the Soviet Union was the mastermind behind everything.
Now that Kennedy is dead, how can they not be nervous!
"Now that Kennedy is dead, some people will definitely connect the two with each other and think that we did it."
People all turned their attention to Khrushchev. After Dr. King was assassinated, it was Khrushchev who happily said that he wanted to give the Americans some color.
Although the black unrest, including the Detroit uprising, was suppressed by the United States in the end, for Moscow, this was definitely a victory. They not only exposed the sanctimonious side of the United States in front of the world, but also let the world see the brutality of the United States. .
While gaining political victory, they also expressed their sympathy for the suffering of black people in the United States through the international community, and said that they would provide all possible help to black people. In fact, they were telling those black people-just keep causing trouble, we will definitely Will support you.
All in all, I want to give America a look.
Now this color is really awesome.
This color suddenly opened up the imagination of the President of the United States... If you are not careful, it will set you on fire.
"Then we did this?"
Khrushchev was also a little unsure. He even looked at Shelepin and the KGB chief with suspicion.
"How is this possible? Without everyone's consent. No action would be taken there."
"The biggest problem now is that whether we did it or not, there will be some doubts pointing to us. If the Americans frame us, this may cause a new round of crisis."
Khrushchev looked at the others and said:
"Of course I am not worried about a conflict with the United States, but I am worried that the U.S. military-industrial complex will use this as an excuse to launch a war against the Soviet Union and create reasons for war through a slanderous method."
"This is exactly what the Americans are likely to do, so we must prepare in advance."
Brezhnev said:
"We must let the Americans understand that any of their military adventure attempts will be thwarted by us." Khrushchev nodded and said:
"This signal must be sent. But I think it is also necessary to express condolences to Mrs. Kennedy through official channels. In addition to the official telegram, I am ready to write a letter to her to express my condolences."
"One more question, what if..."
At this time Brezhnev said:
"The final facts prove that this incident has nothing to do with us, but it turns out that it was done by black people, then how should we respond?"
"This..."
Khrushchev frowned and said:
"Black people, if they did it, then all black people will become a thorn in the eyes of Americans, and they will suffer even more brutal revenge."
"Yes, Americans will use this as an excuse to release the most brutal side in their hearts. By then, the oppression suffered by black people will be unprecedented!"
As soon as Brezhnev finished speaking, Shelepin said:
"The oppression is unprecedented, and the resistance will also be unprecedented. Black people will not sit still and wait for death! I think this is our opportunity. In the past two months, many black people have fled to Cuba. We can arm them , train them, just like we do elsewhere, and contribute to the collapse of the United States by supporting their uprisings!”
In an instant, the atmosphere in the conference room changed, and everyone's eyes were filled with a certain desire - we want to bury them!
Such ambitions have long been engraved in the hearts of all of them.
What a rare opportunity!
They looked at Khrushchev with great expectation. Facing the expectations of his comrades, Khrushchev said:
"This is indeed a rare opportunity, and we should do it, but, for now, we need to wait and see what happens over there in the United States. As for providing help to black people - as I said before, the Soviet Union has Obligation to provide help to anyone who is oppressed and help them liberate themselves from oppression! ”
Of course, other people had no objections to this. At midnight, the Soviet army once again entered a state of combat readiness. In the context of the Cold War, this reaction was normal. After all, no country would bet its fate on the gambling table. Therefore, mobilization is necessary.
……
When the Soviet Union was mobilizing troops, Lyndon Johnson, who had just succeeded as president, had just returned to Washington. Although he suddenly became the owner of the White House, he did not move into the White House because the wife and children of the original owner were still there, so he Just checked into the hotel.
As soon as he arrived at the hotel, he received information from the CIA. After learning that the Russians had entered a state of combat readiness, Johnson just said lightly:
"This is just their normal reaction. They are afraid of us and afraid that we will find out that this matter is related to them. Don't point the finger at them before there is conclusive evidence! I will order the army to be on alert."
"The current evidence does not prove that there is no relationship with them. The murderer once lived in the Soviet Union for two years, and his wife is also Russian."
CIA Director McCann said:
"There is a lot of circumstantial evidence pointing to Russia."
"It's indirect evidence,"
Johnson said:
"I don't think it was the Russians, unless they were crazy and wanted to have an atomic war with us. What evidence do we have now?"
Johnson turned his attention to Hoover. Now Hoover is the target of public criticism. Everyone is questioning why he failed to discover the conspiracy against the president in advance. Now facing the president's inquiry, Hoover said:
"Mr. President, according to the information we have, the murderer's life has been very difficult since he returned from Russia. After returning home, he had conflicts with Cuban exiles, and he also went to Mexico to try to enter Cuba to support Castel. Luo.”
"So he's a Castroite!"
Johnson raised his brows lightly and asked:
"Is there any concrete evidence?"
Obviously, he is more interested in Cuba than the Soviet Union. This is necessary. Even if it is a school bully, the school bully still has to pick the soft persimmons.
"There is no concrete evidence in this regard, but after the "Black Riots", he participated in many actions to support black people, and he also claimed that the oppression of black people was due to President Kennedy's instruction. He also participated in black organization and was arrested for it..."
Listening to Hoover's report, Johnson's brows frowned more and more, and then he said:
"So, it's very likely that black groups are involved, right?"
Facing the president's inquiry, Hoover shook his head and said:
"Unfortunately, we have no conclusive evidence in this regard. All the evidence is indirect, Mr. President! This is the biggest problem at the moment!"
"Find the evidence!"
Johnson said:
"We need to give an explanation to all Americans. I will order the establishment of a special committee to thoroughly investigate this matter. In short, we must find out the truth."
Soon, they left, and Johnson just sat on the sofa. Through the window, he could see the obelisk in the distance, Capitol Hill, and the entire Washington.
This is the temple of power!
At this moment, the phone next to him rang. When he picked up the phone, a familiar voice came from the phone.
"Hello, Mr. President!"
It's former CIA Director Dulles,
Dulles's voice was calm at this time, and Johnson's mood was also calm. He said quietly:
"My friend, you already know what happened. Now, the United States is facing a crisis. I hope you can come back and participate in the Commission to Investigate the Assassination of President Kennedy to find out the truth."
"It's my pleasure, Mr. President."
Dulles on the other end of the phone said immediately:
"Please rest assured, we will definitely find out the truth."
"Okay, I'm looking forward to meeting you!"
After saying that, Johnson hung up the phone, and then quietly looked into the distance, looking at the Temple of Power in New Rome...
