Chapter 919: Fight to the end
"We will never abandon any of our brothers in Latin America, we cannot always live in the shadow of imperialism. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "Cuban leader Fidel Castro has called on progressive forces from all over the world to help Nicaragua resist U.S. subversion.
Soon Cuba sent a delegation to Moscow to seek help from the Soviet Union. In real history, this should have been the stage when the Soviet Union began to shrink strategically, and Cuba's efforts could not change the fact that the Soviet Union was retreating.
Serov received the Cuban delegation in the Kremlin, and Raul Castro, Cuba's No. 2 figure, came to Moscow more than 20 years ago, and made Khrushchev determined to deploy nuclear missiles in Cuba, causing the most intense confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States to date.
"We will not give up on Nicaragua, and we also agree with Cuba's position, but in the current situation, we can only go so far, I hope Cuba can rest assured that Moscow will definitely support the current Nicaraguan government, and we will fight with them as long as Washington wants." Serov reassured the Cuban side, but the USSR could only do so much.
Expanding the scale of the conflict will only allow the United States to tear its face and intervene directly, or will it directly go to the Soviet army to help Nicaragua calm the situation? The Cuban comrades were late, and they should have come on the day of the Russian New Year, when the general secretary dared to draw up a plan for attacking Europe, and perhaps he would have agreed to it in a hot head, but now, the general secretary did not drink.
Originally, in Serov's heart, he would give up Nicaragua at the right time and let Reagan taste the sweetness. But now that he has changed his mind under the persuasion of Cuba, why should he give up? Isn't his intention to take the United States away in waves? Still playing the kind of strategic game that is offensive and defensive for each other, and grinding with the United States for decades?
"I still think we have a big advantage. The next few years will be decisive! After the departure of the Cuban delegation, Serov explained at a meeting of the Central Presidium why he insisted on a proxy war in Central America and the United States.
"The entire Eurasian continent is in our hands, from the Arctic Circle to the Persian Gulf, the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean, the countries have a broad and solid alliance, the center of world civilization, more than half of the world's population, and massive resources, all determine that we have a greater advantage over the United States, in this case, of course, we can calm down and not be confused by the false prosperity of the United States."
"With the support of so many countries, we will inevitably win, and this is the reason for us to persevere, but we are not the only country that can do this, and we must give full play to our advantages, that is, the collective strength."
The capitalist class is far more easily united than the proletariat, but the proletariat is far more numerous than the bourgeoisie. The advantage for Serov is that the Soviet Union was the first socialist country in the world, and at the same time, the Soviet Union still has such an institution in its hands, that is, the Comintern, and with the Comintern in hand, Serov can organize an international column to support the Nicaraguan civil war.
"Inform the Comintern about the bullying of Nicaragua by imperialism. Comrade Ligachev ...... "Serov handed over the matter to Ligachev," putting pressure on the International Tribunal in The Hague, the US blockade of Nicaragua, is it time for a verdict? ā
Nicaragua filed a petition with the International Court of Justice alleging that the United States Government instructed United States military personnel and nationals of Latin American countries to mine Nicaraguan ports, sabotage Nicaraguan oil facilities and naval bases, violate Nicaragua's sovereignty over its airspace and organize and finance military and paramilitary operations in Nicaragua, including anti-Government groups. The case is still pending......
The Hague International Tribunal, of course, is nothing for the United States and the Soviet Union, and of course any international organization has a certain position, the problem is that the fist of the United States is very hard, and the fist of the USSR is not soft. The Soviet Union was not Russia, it was the leader of the socialist camp, the leader of dozens of countries, the master of Eurasia.
Serov is not at all worried about the outcome of the Nicaraguan arbitration, this matter is very obvious, that is, the bullying of a third world country by imperialism, the United States is laying mines around the ports of Nicaragua, and there is no difference between direct aggression, and it has been bought so obvious that even the judge knows how to judge without conscience. With the Lengo map already kneeling and licking Reagan, the verdict in history is still very unfavorable to the United States, let alone now?
On the Nicaraguan issue, the Soviet Union began to counterattack on two separate fronts: the first was to contact the Communist Parties around the world through the Comintern to create momentum to gain sympathy for Nicaragua, and the second was to exert pressure on the International Tribunal in The Hague to isolate the international environment of the United States by legal means.
At the same time, military support for Nicaragua could not be interrupted, and on these three fronts, the Soviet Union began to respond to the United States, and the Nicaragua issue became a hot spot in a new round of confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, which had just begun this year.
At the United Nations meeting, the US ambassador to the United Nations informed the UN Secretary-General that the declaration made by the United States after World War II that the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice would not apply for two years to "disputes with any Central American country or disputes arising out of or in connection with events in Central America," and that the notice would take effect immediately and exclude the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice over the United States.
"This is the logic of imperialism, and international law cannot govern the United States, and this attitude is a trampling on the righteous forces of the international community, and the United States is depleting the little goodwill that the American countries themselves have towards the United States." The Soviet ambassador to the United Nations said gloomily, "In recent years, the United States has become a problem for the whole world, and I have to say, can't the United States be quiet?" ā
"To speak of disrespect for the international community, is there a more obvious act of the Soviet Union attacking Turkey without declaring war?" The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations retorted similarly unceremoniously, "Nicaragua poses a threat to U.S. national security." ā
"The Soviet Union accepted Greece's request for help and only upheld justice to prevent Greece from being invaded by Turkey!" The Soviet ambassador to the UN nodded to the Greek representative, and then said noncommittally, "As for Nicaragua as a threat to the United States, you are fooling children?" ā
The ambassadors of the United States and the Soviet Union once again used the United Nations as a stage to engage in a war of words, and they were evenly divided. In the International Court of Justice, another battleground, the United States came under unprecedented pressure, and the trial of the Nicaraguan issue was very unfavorable to the United States from the very beginning, and the International Court of Justice passed provisional measures to protect Nicaragua, and voted to demand that the United States immediately stop laying mines in Nicaraguan ports. ruled that Nicaragua's political independence and sovereignty "should be fully respected and should not be jeopardized by any military or paramilitary act"
"Nicaragua is already a puppet state of the Soviet Union, which is a confrontation between good and evil, and the United States will not accept this ruling, and believes that the international tribunal has become an international anti-American tool like some international organizations. We have decided to withdraw from the arbitration of the International Court of Justice! "We hope that the ICJ will not follow the path of other international organizations that have been politicized against the interests of Western democracies." ā
In the Kremlin General Secretary's office, Serov was lying in a very undignified Hawking, listening to the ruling on the Nicaraguan issue with drooping eyelids, and he was not surprised by the reaction of the United States, who would really respect the International Court of Justice? Even Russia dares not to implement the relevant rulings, and that is still the Russia of the Khitans. Not to mention the United States, which still feels good about itself.
"The United States has withdrawn from the International Court of Justice, there is a steady stream of support coming into Nicaragua, and even the latest American sniper rifle has been seized." General Bobkov, the first deputy chairman of the KGB, sighed that the United States obviously ignores the International Court of Justice and must overthrow the current government of Nicaragua.
"When will the International Court of Justice be able to administer justice? What a joke! The general secretary, who kept Hawking lying down, yawned and said, "Freedom? That is just the right of the United States to freely adjudicate other countries, on the contrary, those American countries cannot freely choose whether they are pro-American or pro-Soviet, and this is Reagan's freedom. ā
Reagan's thinking is different from that of previous US presidents, and even goes further than those anti-Soviet presidents, and ordinary US presidents are still concerned about their own ideas and conflicts of international interests, Reagan does not care, and the words he says every day are that the Soviet Union is evil, the United States is noble, and the decisions he makes are aimed at defeating communism, and sometimes they are not in the interests of the United States. I don't know if it's really Alzheimer's starting to attack!
In later generations, the United States and the whole world boasted about Reagan, but it was just the shameless boasting of a group of royal literati who crossed the river with baskets when the cold victory was decided, otherwise the $800 billion deficit created by Reagan would have taken a long time for successive US presidents to serve if the Soviet Union had not collapsed. But very well, Serov needs this kind of anti-Soviet guy who goes crazy......
"Reagan wants to go to war? Very good, but for the war in support of Nicaragua, it is not our own business in the Soviet Union, and we must call on all socialist countries to share it, after all, the cost of our aid is greater than that of the United States! "This is relative, in fact, the total amount of American aid is several times greater than that of the Soviet Union.
The problem is that even if the exchange is so good, the general secretary does not want the Soviet Union to pay this money himself, since it is an internationalist act, and the Soviet Union cannot confront the United States out of its own pocket to uphold justice. Is this a confrontation between the entire socialist camp and the United States? Why not a confrontation with the capitalist camp? Because American mines have also bombed British and French ships for a year.
"Then we'll fight them to the end!" General Bobkov thought for a moment and did not mention the idea of forming an international column.
