With a violent jolt, the world's largest passenger plane Tu-114 landed, so that these major European newspaper reporters experienced a different charm, this charm is that when they are passenger planes, they can experience the feeling of flying a fighter jet, and I believe that this experience should have a different impact on their lives.

"It's not bad, it seems like it's more than twenty minutes early. Sure enough, Aeroflot is never late! Our fighter pilots really never disappointed...... "Serov, who escorted himself with a group of meat shields, walked down the ladder little by little. A group of officers below had already been waiting, and when they saw Serov coming down, they directly raised their heads slightly, looked up and saluted at the same time.

"Comrade Serov, welcome to Cuba, especially at this time." Lieutenant General Grechko, commander of the air defense forces of the Cuban air defense group, held Serov's hand tightly, and although he did not understand that at such a critical moment, a KGB was sent to the country as a deputy commander, but Serov's name was not completely unheard of. When the KGB general in front of him was the head of the General Directorate of Military Administration, he had already made his name remembered by all high-ranking officers of the Red Army.

"Yes, the situation seems to be tense, and the lockdown has been going on for four days." Serov greeted while pointing to the group of reporters behind him and said, "I brought a group of reporters who are not afraid of death, if it weren't for them, maybe the American fighter planes that have been escorting me at close range for so long would have buried me in the Atlantic!" ”

After entering the Caribbean, the American fighter formation used to circle around the Tu-114 for a long time. Knowing that it was close to Cuba before dispersing, Serov was even more certain that he was right to take these journalists on the plane, and that his cautious style might have saved his life.

Serov, who had arrived in Havana from Moscow, was still wearing a gray woolen coat and military uniform, and just a few minutes after getting off the plane, he felt sweaty under his clothes. Directly following into the jeep, as for the journalists' community who believe that Castro will not disappoint him, they should understand how to use these European journalists.

"Uncle Pliev, we just met in the Kremlin not long ago." Serov directly followed Lieutenant General Grechko of the Air Defense Forces to the Cuban Cluster Command, a very ordinary building with some secret posts outside. But finding such a sentry is not a problem for a KGB-born man like him.

The command post of the command, General Pliyev, was also ordinary. The importance of this place is indicated only by the map of Cuba hanging on the wall, which outlines the assembly routes of the Soviet Union-Cuban cluster in 14 Cuban provinces with red arrows. As well as the area where the defense was deployed, Serov walked back and forth at the command post to observe the furnishings, and it was clear that General Pliyev was preparing mainly for the purpose of war, after all, no one knew what the final result would be.

Under the cover of sea and air superiority, in the face of the US mainland, which is close at hand, one can imagine how much pressure General Pliyev is under in his heart, and the five divisions of the US Army are not in the consideration of General Pliyev. But the strong sea and air superiority could not be ignored by him. Cuba as a whole is an island, and in the event of a war, the Cuban cluster will not get any support from the Soviet Union itself, except for the support of the Cuban people.

"Yuri, I mean to be based on urban warfare, to defend an island country with a coastline that is far beyond the military power of the Cuban cluster, and even if I can get the air defense forces and naval infantry to join the operation after completing the mission, I still can't afford to defend the entire coastline." General Priev said in a heavy tone. "Fighting for the beachhead with it, so that our soldiers are under the nose of the enemy's navy and air force on the coastline. It is better to base itself on fighting a land war. ”

"Replicate the Battle of Stalingrad? Cubans are no more than 70,000 people in the cluster, and the number of people engaged in street fighting seems to be insufficient. Serov never thought of winning, this battle is impossible to win, the difference is how many backs the Soviet soldiers can pull away before they die, at least the five US Army divisions currently in Florida should be pulled together to hell.

I looked at the map for a while. Serov suddenly remembered Guantanamo Bay, the place where the Soviet Union declared that it would help Cuba abolish the unequal treaty, and pointed to the map and asked, "Has the deployment for attacking Guantanamo been deployed?" ”

"It's ready, we're ready to attack with tank regiments." Lieutenant General Grechko replied. "The land area of the US base in Guantanamo is only a few dozen square kilometers, and the tank regiment can take it by a single assault."

"But the Guantanamo military base is a port near the sea, which means that the U.S. Navy can support it. With the frequency of movement of American spy satellites over our heads, we have just concentrated our forces, and maybe the news will be communicated to the US Navy. Serov put his hands in his pockets and said indifferently, "It is a bit risky to let the tank regiment leak under the enemy's naval guns." ”

"But war is inherently risky, this is war, not your National Security Council's game of dealing with mass riots, we are facing the US military, how can we win without risking?" Lieutenant General Grechko insisted on his opinion.

"The Internal Affairs Forces also participated in the Great Patriotic War in those years, and the Dzerzhinsky Division also participated in the defense of Moscow at the most dangerous time, don't think that we anti-rebel workers can't fight." Serov coldly retorted to Lieutenant General Grechko, and then refocused on the Guantanamo base, as if looking for a countermeasure.

"I'd love to hear Admiral Serov's plan for not taking risks!" Lieutenant General Grechko said a word and stood aside.

"What's the less risky solution I have?" Serov thought for a long time and said, "Fortunately, I once expected this to happen, there is something in the hands of the KGB internal guard on the island of Cuba, which I loaded into the earlier freighter with the approval of the Minister of Defense, Marshal Malinovsky, and this matter is unknown to you Cuban cluster command. ”

"What's the mystery?" Senior General Pliyev, who had not spoken, also asked with interest.

"420mm self-propelled atomic cannons, one in number, and two shells as part of earlier preparations for the US military base at Guantanamo." Serov thought for a moment and said, "The atomic cannon is in the hands of Alekseev, the head of the KGB Cuba, and this kind of tattered Ministry of Defense is not uncommon, so I got it to Cuba to exert its residual heat!" ”

The 420mm self-propelled atomic cannon showed its face only once at the military parade on Red Square five years ago. In fact, the Soviet Union, having developed them, never seriously thought about how to use them. Because at that time, the Il-28 light bomber of the Soviet front-line aviation could fully complete the task of carrying out a tactical nuclear assault. At the same time, the development of tactical rockets and missiles capable of carrying low-yield nuclear warheads in the USSR was nearing completion, and their use was much more convenient and the range of attack was much longer than that of these two behemoths. In fact, before the Cuban Missile Crisis, this thing had been brought to the Military Industry Museum by the Ministry of Defense to do decorations, or Serov remembered this incident and felt that hiding an atomic cannon in Cuba and placing it there, even if it was not used, it could scare and scare the US troops at Guantanamo, if Serov remembered correctly, the last time he came to Cuba to investigate, he had already let people build the launch base.

"Transporting the atomic cannon to the outlying positions of Guantanamo in one day, and setting off at night, the self-propelled atomic cannon can be moved, and the time of one night should not be a problem. Cuba is not very big! Serov directly said his idea that he was not too risky.

This relaxed tone made the commander of the Cuban cluster, General Pliyev, and Lieutenant General Grechko look at each other, this is a deployment that is not too risky? The two of them have been preparing here for so long, but they are both within the scope of conventional war, and Serov has just arrived in Cuba for less than an hour, and the preparation looks like a nuclear war no matter how you look at it.

"Actually, I went to the United States to negotiate with the order of the Central Presidium, but before striving for peace, I must let the Yankees understand one thing, they can't win a nuclear war, they can't defeat the Soviet Union at a certain price, but they will die together!" Unmoved, Serov continued, "All the medium-range nuclear missiles of the Strategic Rocket Force under the Cuban cluster immediately adjusted their targets and aimed them at Yellowstone Park in the United States, with the secondary target being the most populous city in the United States. ”

There must be a result, the Soviet Navy cannot come up, the nuclear submarines can only play hide and seek with the US Navy in the Caribbean, and the US mainland is so close to Cuba that dragging it down is actually not good for the Soviet Union. In addition to the more than 100 meat shields on the Tu-114 passenger plane that Serov was aboard, there was also a complete set of equipment, which could ensure that Serov could contact the Cuban Cluster Command in Cuba at any time when he was in the United States. Serov was going to take the equipment to the United States after joining up with Dobrynin.

After consulting with General Pliyev, commander of the Cuban cluster, and Lieutenant General Grechko, commander of the Air Defense Force, an order was issued to all units under the entire Cuban cluster by telegram, the anti-aircraft missile units were put into second-level combat readiness, the strategic rocket forces were ready to refuel, and the army units were still deploying beachheads along the possible landing sites in Cuba.

After the Cuban Missile Crisis was leaked, the newspapers in the United States said one day that Serov had come to the United States with a bunch of meat tickets, but the American newspapers interpreted it as a succumb. Unexpectedly, the Tu-114 did not land in the United States, but went to Cuba. This has led many newspapers to speculate that Kennedy will not dare to let the newspapers in the United States mess around at this moment, and has begun to block the media on recent developments. In such a moment of crisis, allowing the US media to unleash their rhetoric will have no positive impact on US national security at all. (To be continued.) )
