Chapter 430 Missile Crisis
"Who is Castro?" The French girl's voice didn't seem to be joking.
"Of course it was Fidel Castro." He Chi felt something was wrong, and then confirmed to Christine seriously, "Sinier, don't you know who Castro is? He is leading it. Cuban Revolution, shouldn't he be the leader of Cuba? "
"Sorry, I really haven't heard of it, and if the other party is an important figure in the Cuban authorities, this would not be possible in our intelligence system. Low-level mistake."
"What about Che Guevara?"
"Uh, this seems to have a little impression of it, wait..." Christine on the opposite side searched again.
"Oh, there were two people in the early Cuban guerrilla wars, and they seemed to be the leader, but in They disappeared in the first year of guerrilla warfare. "
"So who is in power in Cuba now?" "
"The current top leaders of Cuba are a multi-person consortium, and it is hard to say who is The real number one, I'm pretty sure there is no name Castro. "
He Chi fell into silence. He is very sure that Cuba is in trouble now.
Without Castro, the flag bearer-like leader, Cuba's choice in the missile crisis will become confusing, no one knows what will happen, and the worst possible outcome may even be a real full-scale military event in the United States and the Soviet Union. Conflict, even nuclear conflict.
Then this world is not far from the end of the way.
Can't guess the puzzle anymore, he decided to talk directly to the US president.
—
White House, Presidential Residence.
bump! A miniature sculpture of Lincoln was swept to the ground, with white plaster powder splashing everywhere, and Kennedy was in a state of rage.
"Damn it! Who leaked the news to the media! Do you know how passive the government was in today's speech?!" The young president roared angrily, and the smear in his mouth would fly from time to time. Opposite the press secretary Pierre Salinger's face.
The press officer had to take out a handkerchief to wipe the saliva on his face. "Mr. President, the FBI is still investigating. I heard that the source of the leak has been locked."
"Go to his FBI! Wait After they found out, maybe the whole world knew what was going on. I will be cheated to death by these incompetent guys sooner or later! ”
Bang!
The door was opened, and National Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy and Attorney General Robert Kennedy walked in. "John, calm down, there is no point in anger at this time." As a younger brother, little Kennedy walked up to comfort his brother.
About five minutes later, President Kennedy calmed down. "George, the news has started now, and private communication is no longer necessary. Is there any response from the Soviet Union?" Kennedy looked at the security consultant on the side. "We have already given the comments from the Soviet ambassador Dobrenin, who claimed that he had not received any relevant information about the deployment of missiles in Moscow, but he said that even if the Soviet Union really helped Cuba deploy missiles, it was the legal right of the Soviet government. Just like we deploy missiles in Türkiye and Italy.”
"This is a quibble!" "Of course, but the Soviet Union seemed to be tough and had no intention of compromise." McGeorge Bundy whispered. "What do you think?" the president continued to ask with a calm face.
"Sir, from a purely military perspective, if the Soviet Union deployed medium-range ballistic missiles in Cuba, then a series of areas such as Washington, New York, Houston, and Chicago would be exposed to the nuclear weapons coverage of the Soviets. Inside, and once the opponent launches an attack, it is almost undefensive. "Mr. President, once Cuba completes the missile deployment, we will feel like we are being pushed onto our chin with a pistol, completely losing our strategy Take the initiative. Therefore, my suggestion is to let the Soviets withdraw their nuclear weapons anyway, even if they launch a war for it! "McGeorge Bundy verbally verbally at this time. "You mean attacking Cuba?"
"If necessary, yes!" The security consultant did not hesitate at all.
"But what if the Soviets intervene strongly and even launch a nuclear war?"
"Sir, I am frank, this is not a multiple-choice question. We have no way out, even if it is There was a price for nuclear war. "
Jennedy didn't say anything for five minutes, and the other people stood around and waited quietly. The whole room was a bit terrible, as if the box of war would be the next second Opened by a key.
In the end, Kennedy slowly opened his mouth, "notify the Second Fleet to block the waters near Cuba, and any ship from the Warsaw Pact country must undergo a comprehensive inspection."
"Tell the Air Force that U-2 reconnaissance aircraft monitored Cuba Road 24/7 Land-based missile base, any abnormality must be reported to the Pentagon within 3 minutes. "
"Contact the European garrison, and the Italian missile forces are on alert."
The secretary on the side recorded everything , and then he casts a questioning look at the president again.
Finally, Kennedy waved his hand and did not issue any more radical orders.
"You guys go out first, I have to think about the rest." Kennedy bent down and picked up the statue of Lincoln that fell to the ground and put it on the table again.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
Several people looked at each other and then walked out of the house. Robert Kennedy hugged his brother when he was out. "John, I'm waiting here. If you decide anything, tell me directly. .”
The door closed again and the room returned to silence.
Kennedy looked at the report on the desktop, with a very entangled expression on his face. He knew that the United States was not ready for a full-scale conflict with the Soviet Union, but he had to respond strongly.
Moreover, because the media first reported the relevant situation, it even became a luxury to communicate under the desktop.
The national security of America, national sentiment of the people, and his prestige of the president have been tied together, forcing him not to show any weakness in his attitude towards the Soviet Union.
As McGeorge Bundy said, the United States has been pushed by a pistol and has no way out.
He himself had an experience in the distance, and the Asian man suppressed him to the ground, and the muzzle of the pistol just pressed against his head.
He knew that feeling was bad.
Fortunately, that is already a thing of the past, and the time is not yet ripe. As long as you can be re-elected and wait a few years to digest the technology in your hands, the United States will truly surpass the Soviet Union and become the unique NO1 in the world, and it will be And become the president who surpasses Washington.
Jennedy's heart was extremely hot every time this time, and the effect was better than holding that charming body. Today is even more...
Wait, why do you feel a little cold?
Have I opened the window opposite?
The doubt was only a brief moment, and a silver pistol hit his head again, just like it was more than 20 years ago.
"Mr. President, it's been a long time since I've seen you. I have something to confirm with you." A disgusting voice rose behind me.
