Chapter 594:-for-tat

Washington.

The Pentagon is full of chickens and dogs.

"Bastards, these bastards!"

Kennedy roared angrily, projecting the photo that Yang Feng had just sent to him on the big screen in front of him, and it was obvious that the resolution of the Ming army's reconnaissance satellite camera was much higher than that of the United States, and the missile launchers stood on the ground without clouds, even if they could not see it so clearly, they could roughly distinguish the outline.

Moreover, there are not only missile launchers, but also various other supporting facilities.

"President, this is a photo of an SS4 missile base in the Soviet Union that they sent, it is obvious that the two are very similar, this one was taken by our U2 reconnaissance plane, this one was taken by our reconnaissance satellite, although the four photos are in different locations, but the layout is very similar, if we do not consider that they did it like Yang Feng did back then, then it can be determined that there is an additional SS4 missile base in Cuba, and it can already be used in actual combat."

McNamara said as he quickly posed three more photos in front of him.

Kennedy calmed down suddenly, and now he can't be sure if it's true, after all, there is a lesson from Yang Feng's past, and the last time Eisenhower was used as a joke for a long time.

"Did our reconnaissance plane come back?"

He asked with a gloomy face.

"It's back, and the technician is working on the photos."

McNamara said.

After receiving Yang Feng's notice, they immediately sent U2s to Cuba, and the pilots could visually confirm that the ground was a missile base, but the photos had to be processed before they could be taken.

As soon as he finished saying this, an officer walked up to him with a dozen freshly developed photos and handed them to him, McNamara quickly flipped through them and handed them to the assistant next to him, who immediately put them into the slide projector, and the content on the big screen quickly appeared much clearer than what Yang Feng had provided. And this time there is no need to doubt it, there are trucks towing missiles on the ground, missiles on standby on the launchers, barracks, and even people walking around, and there are even fighter jets lined up at the air base on other photos, and all this clearly confirms that the Soviets have put nuclear bombs under the nose of the United States.

"It's not SS4."

An officer said as he suddenly stared at the photo of several missiles that had not yet been erected.

"This is the SS5, the SS5 with a range of 4,000 kilometers, and the number of missiles on the photos we took is also more than the photos taken by the Ming army."

He went on to say.

"It's very simple, the reconnaissance satellite of the Ming army is a return capsule that is released after shooting all the film, which takes a few days, and during this time, the Soviets have shipped more missiles, which means that their missile delivery has not yet been completed, and those Soviet merchant ships sailing to Cuba are still sending more missiles."

McNamara said.

Kennedy stood there gritting his teeth

With a range of more than 4,000 kilometers, the SS5 can easily hit Washington, New York, and even Chicago, and almost 90 percent of the country's important cities, and then wipe hundreds of millions of people from the earth with its 500,000-ton yield nuclear warheads. More importantly, the missile early warning system built by the United States before, including those fixed large-scale phased array early warning radars, is set up to defend against trans-Arctic attacks, and it is impossible to adjust the steering behind it. In order to deal with Cuba's missiles, it would have to spend a lot of money to rebuild an early warning system, and it would take years to complete it, and before that they had no countermeasures against attacks from behind, so to speak, these missiles could only wait for them to destroy the United States as long as they were launched.

This is no longer a simple provocation, this is almost a half-declaration of war, and at this moment his anger rises to the sky.

"Summons the Soviet ambassador!"

He said almost through gritted teeth.

"Also, order the fleet to blockade Cuba!"

Then he added.

Following Kennedy's order, the US Second Fleet poured out of Norfolk Military Harbor, including eight aircraft carriers, including the USS Enterprise, which had just been commissioned, and led a huge fleet to Cuba, and less than 24 hours later, it surrounded this small country and formed a dense blockade line at sea.

The whole world was in a panic.

Everyone understands what this means, after just ending the Berlin crisis, the United States and the Soviet Union are once again on the brink of war, and unlike the Berlin crisis, this time there is no room for weakness at all, and this time it will not be just a contest of conventional means, once the war starts, it will be a nuclear war, and once these two countries press the nuclear bomb launch button on each other, they will definitely not just launch nuclear bombs at each other.

At this time, the only hope is that both sides can exercise restraint.

However, it is a pity that the Soviet government immediately made the same tough response, they will continue to assist Cuba in accordance with the agreement signed with the Cuban government, resolutely refuse the interception of the US navy, and will carry out the most fierce response to the threat of the US government, and the more direct thing is that the three aircraft carriers of the Black Sea Fleet, which were ordered to sail to the Baltic Sea to participate in the exercise, will escort the Soviet merchant ships to Cuba.

It is clear that they were prepared for this.

This news made the hearts of all those who were looking forward to a peaceful settlement sink to the bottom.

Soon a huge fleet in the Atlantic Ocean sailed to Cuba in the eyes of the world, the core of this fleet is an ordinary ocean-going cargo ship, loaded with a batch of SS5 medium-range ballistic missiles, and the escort of this merchant ship is three heavy aircraft carriers, Ukraine, Belarus and Armenia, in addition to more than 30 surface warships of various types. Including six Sverdlov-class cruisers, eight Krupney-class destroyers, this destroyer is different from the original history, its anti-ship missiles have become four twin Styx, and there are also six Canin-class anti-submarine destroyers and two Cassin-class ships that were commissioned earlier than the original history, both of which are also equipped with the Styx, and the rest are all old artillery destroyers.

Although this fleet is not advanced, and even the number of ship-to-air missiles is small, it is the most powerful lineup that the Soviet Navy can put together.

The same fleet also made people see the determination of the bald man to fight, after all, he took out all the current elite of the Soviet Navy, and the eight latest Cassin-class ships of the Krupny class and two of them were poured out, but it was precisely because of this that the panic in the Western world intensified, because once this fleet reached Cuba and broke through the blockade line of the United States, then war was inevitable.

And once there is a war between the United States and the Soviet Union, then the main battlefield will definitely be Europe, although the fuse is lit in the Caribbean, but it will definitely burn across the Atlantic Ocean in less than a second, detonating the fire barrel in Europe, although in this way the European countries are actually very innocent, but the problem is that their position can only be sandwiched between the United States and the Soviet Union to do this unlucky. So in this case, the countries of Western Europe thought of the only person who could help them, and when the United Nations met to discuss the Cuban crisis, at the invitation of European countries, Führer Yang once again played the role of the savior of Europe.

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

Yang Feng asked He Bald very frankly, of course, through the hotline, he often dialed this number now and talked to He Bald on the other side for ten yuan.

"Your Excellency, you don't even want to take care of the affairs of the Americas, do you?"

He Bald said sarcastically.

"Well, I really don't have any interest in the affairs of the Americas, but I don't want you to press the nuclear missile launch button together and drag the whole world to be buried together, I live a good life surrounded by wine, food and beautiful women, and I am different from people like you who do not hesitate to throw their heads and spill blood for their ideals."

Yang Feng said.

"Then it's very simple, as long as the people of the United States withdraw all their ballistic missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers in Western Europe and Tuji, then I can also withdraw our missiles in Cuba."

He Bald said.

"So you're doing so much just to get the Mi people to withdraw their missiles from Western Europe and Tuji?"

Yang Feng said suddenly.

"You can understand it this way."

He Bald said.

"Okay, I'll relay it for you."

Yang Feng said.

However, his conveyance did not get a comforting result, Kennedy clearly refused, because once this condition was accepted, it was actually equivalent to the United States yielding to the Soviet Union, and his weakness during the Berlin crisis has been criticized by domestic public opinion, and it has also seriously hurt the image of the United States.

And Cuba is not Berlin either.

The Americas are their territory, and they stretch out their hands to their territory, but they still have to take the initiative to admit defeat, so where is the dignity of the United States?

Others break into the backyard of their own house, and they have to accompany the smiling face to serve tea and water to people and send delicious food and wine, then the rice country is too cheap, since the Americas are their territory, of course, they have the final say, aren't the Soviets coming? Then look at whose fist is hard enough, in Europe, the United States is indeed afraid of millions of troops in Eastern Europe, but when it comes to the sea, to the sea of the Americas, the US military is the master, and it is too self-sufficient to think that it will be forced with three aircraft carriers.

Kennedy's goal now is very simple, he is waiting for the Soviet fleet in the Caribbean, as long as the Soviet fleet has the courage to break through, he will not mind sinking into the sea, he wants to use this contest to reshape the image of the United States that has declined, and let the world know again that on this planet, they are still the boss, they are still the masters of order, and they have the ability to knock down any challenger under their feet.
