Chapter 355: Self-respect
You're in control! Yes, that's how it feels, like a person looking at a group of ants, or an ordinary person who suddenly has a God's perspective, Robert Kennedy and the three of them feel like a stripped beauty, and Serov is like a beast eager to go into battle, this metaphor is vulgar but very apt.
"Twenty-seven thousand nuclear warheads are a lot, enough to blow up all the cities on Earth several times, but what about that? The Soviet nuclear missiles did not need to be aimed at so many countries, we only needed to aim at the United States. We destroy the United States, and the United States will destroy the world for us, this is the reality! So at the moment we have invested enough strength, just with the nuclear missiles in Cuba, I am qualified to negotiate on behalf of the Soviet Union......" Serov looked at the three big American figures in front of him with a sneering expression, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Defense, and the Minister of Finance. It seems to be high, but in fact, who is the person who the United States really talks about? Just think about it......
The Kennedy brothers were strong enough, one was the president and the other was the attorney general, and replacing the Soviet Union with one was the general secretary and the other was the minister of the interior, but it was the two brothers who all died tragically. Therefore, it is necessary to know that peace does not come in vain, and that peace will come naturally.
This is the reality, as long as a nuclear war begins, the countries that will be attacked by nuclear weapons will never be limited to the United States and the Soviet Union, and Britain, France, China, Germany, and other countries with even a little value will not be able to escape. The countries that the Soviet Union can reach will be eliminated, the countries that the United States can reach will be eliminated, and the countries that the United States and the Soviet Union can reach will welcome the greetings of the two superpowers, and if there are no allies, they will be enemies after the start of a nuclear war.
"Since the last world war, the Soviet Union was the first country to threaten the United States." Attorney General Robert Kennedy looked at Dobrynin and said, "As an ambassador, Mr. Dobrynin, don't you say something?" ”
"Since the revolution, no country has ever moved its lips to make the Soviet Union retreat, and you, the United States, were the first." Serov, who put his hands on his lap, mocked coldly, "Don't take your enemies for fools, I hope my enemies can do that, because I have never treated you for fools......"
Serov spoke before Dobrynin spoke, to ensure Dobrynin's future work, the wicked always have to be done by someone, and Serov, as the head of the secret police, is obviously more suitable for this position than Dobrynin.
The whole office fell into an eerie silence, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a drop of pins, neither side spoke, in this dead silence, there was only silent confrontation, in short, both sides were staring at each other. Outside them, the Caribbean Sea is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of U.S. military forces, and on the island of Cuba are all the fighters of the Soviet Union in Cuba and the hundreds of thousands of Cuban Revolutionary Army mobilized.
As far as the eyes of the world are concerned, from the European continent to the 38th parallel in East Asia, from Yokosuka to Subic Bay, the allies of the Soviet Union and the United States are all on alert, and their ears are listening to the news from Cuba at any time. As long as they hear the news on the Cuban side, the soldiers of the two major military groups, numbering in tens of millions, can quickly enter the combat mode and cross the border to catch and fight.
As the Soviet Union and the United States entered a state of first-class combat readiness, as the front line of the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, the European continent was in a pessimistic atmosphere, and the allies on the Soviet side's side were one-sided in carrying out war propaganda. The countries of Western Europe, which were overwhelmed by the Soviet Union's huge tank army group, were filled with despair at the thought of endless tanks rushing towards them.
Judging from the declassified data on the collapse of the Soviet Union, from the beginning to the end of the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact never formulated a plan with defense as the core, and all they formulated were offensive plans. However, the United States and NATO have never formulated a plan to attack the Soviet Union, but only a defense plan. Maybe there were, but the United States did not disintegrate, no one knows.
The negotiations between the two sides have not been known to anyone on any side, but if they involve five people, their results can be related to the safety of the whole world, and whether they will see a world full of nuclear contamination and radiation tomorrow morning, or a world as peaceful as today, will depend on the outcome of their negotiations. But for now, at least, neither side has any intention of backing down. The United States thinks it is strong, and the Soviet Union has invested too many resources, and if it retreats to its homeland without letting go of a single fart now, it can deceive the ordinary people, but it will definitely not be accepted by the Soviet cadres at all levels.
The reason why Brezhnev was able to succeed in the coup d'état was that in addition to convincing Sherepin and Semychasny, the KGB controllers who controlled the Soviet security services, the acquiescence of the Ministry of Defense was also a major factor, in addition to the dissatisfaction of the Ministry of Defense with Khrushchev's disarmament move, the nuclear industry, which had invested a huge amount of money, did not play a role, and the result of the Cuban Missile Crisis made those soldiers who had gone through the Great Patriotic War very dissatisfied, so they adopted a side-by-side attitude towards Khrushchev during the coup.
"If the Soviet Union does not retreat, there is likely to be a coup d'état in the United States, and the generals of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will not acquiesce to the situation in Cuba, General Serov, you must know that once the military is allowed to solve the problem, things will not be easy!" Secretary of Defense Robert? McNamara said earnestly, "I'm sure you know the consequences!" ”
"This consequence is what I was trying to say to you, a group of marshals of the Soviet Ministry of Defense had already drawn up a battle plan for a global war before I went abroad, and I believe you also know that the attitude of the Soviet military has a far greater impact on the government than their American counterparts, and if I can't bring back a satisfactory result to the military, I can't even estimate what those soldiers will do!" A wry smile tugged at the corner of Serov's mouth, quite emotional.
He absolutely does not believe that the US military has the courage to coup d'état, and he takes a step back and says that the coup d'état is good, and the US military coup can cause heavy losses to the prestige of the United States, which is a gain that cannot be obtained by any amount of planning. Even if the United States became a military junta, they would go to war with the Soviet Union? It's still not possible.
So for Secretary of Defense Robert? McNamara's words, he is 10,000 people who don't believe that the United States is at the peak of its national strength, and will it be idle to die? If the United States really becomes a military junta, the Soviet Union will be very willing to carry the banner of liberating all mankind. Under the backdrop of the US military junta, the Soviet brand will be even more glamorous.
"To be honest, the congressional elections are coming soon, and President Kennedy must be eager to solve the problem quickly and beautifully, you don't have time to delay any longer, otherwise I don't know what the future holds?" Serov said in his presence.
"You think the president will back down because of the congressional election, you don't seem to know much about us in the United States." Attorney General Robert Kennedy, the younger brother of President Kennedy, asked indifferently.
"No, I mean you lack time, for example, when the United States and the Soviet Union were in Cuba, the rest of the world was not idle, and those restless countries were using this opportunity to complete their strategic layout, and we did not have time to interfere." Serov spread his hands and said with an indifferent look.
"Are you supporting China's attack on India at the same time?" Secretary of Defense Robert? McNamara said with a rather ugly face.
"China is using the confrontation between the USSR and the United States to accomplish their own ends. At this point in time, it is useless for the support or opposition of the Soviet Union, because we need their strength. Dobrynin found a timely opportunity to speak, "China did not inform the Soviets in advance of their move to start a war!" ”
Dobrynin's words sideways negate the American speculation that the Soviet Union did not support China's actions. And Serov added from the side, "But now that the Soviet Union has been used, it is necessary to make the Sino-Indian war show its own value." I believe you also know the current progress, the Indian military has been completely defeated, if you do not give in, in another month, you may not face a Soviet Union, but an even more difficult situation. If you can sit idly by and watch India be destroyed, what is unacceptable to us, anyway, China is our ally, and when the time comes, we can make up for the belated congratulations, and I believe that the Chinese comrades will forgive our ......"
China can pretend to show solidarity with the Soviet Union in the Cuban missile crisis, and the Soviet Union can also pretend to congratulate China on the results of its victory, as for India, hmph, if you win it, it is a great power with a good reputation, and if you lose it, you are nothing. At least on the surface, the Soviet Union and China are still an unbreakable alliance, and China's slogans are louder than those shouted by the Soviet Union, and its actions are even greater than those of the Soviet Union, and they are even more undisguised.
"But the Algerian People's Army under Polish command has been surrounded, and you can sit back and watch Poland fail?" U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert? McNamara reminded Serov that the Soviet Union did not prevail everywhere, and that while China made great progress in Asia, the situation in Africa was critical.
"Like China, the Algerian side is also a move of Poland, the Soviet Union has the mentality that success is good, and if it does not succeed, it is nothing, our allies are not as obedient as your allies, and you Americans are indeed much stronger in dog training than our Soviet Union." Serov sneered in his heart, he would care about the Poles to death? One China is enough of a headache for the Soviet Union, is there another disobedient country in Eastern Europe?
"We need a little time!" Robert Kennedy looked at each other, as Serov said, if you don't limit your eyes to the Caribbean, the situation is not very good now. Even if the Soviet Union was telling the truth and did not support China, it would not be the responsibility of the Soviet Union to hold the hands of the Chinese comrades at that time. That's how politics is...... (To be continued.) )
