In the same way that Indonesia is in the middle of Southeast Asia's strategy and the country's strategic situation, there is also a country in the Caribbean that the United States cannot afford to ignore, and that is Cuba. [No pop-up novel network]

Although strictly speaking, Cuba is far inferior to Indonesia, and Cuba is not even a fraction of Indonesia's land area, population, economic level, and total resources, but in terms of regional influence, Cuba is on a par with Indonesia, because Cuba is the largest country in the Caribbean, and it is also a rogue country that has long been an enemy of the United States and is regarded by the United States as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh that wants to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Of course, Cuba in the middle of the century is no longer the Cuba of the century of power and the beginning of the century.

Although in the century of force, especially before the Year of the Worm, because of the support of the Soviet Union, Cuba is a typical socialist country, and it can be regarded as a relatively good socialist country. For citizens of the Republic who were born in the era of the Force, Cuba began with cane sugar. This is also a true portrayal of Cuba's economic situation in the Li century, that is, in the whole socialist family, Cuba has only one task, that is, to produce enough sugar to meet the needs of all socialist countries, and to obtain other products from other socialist countries. But at the beginning of the century, strictly speaking, since the beginning of the century, Cuba's life has not been so easy. With the collapse of the Red Empire and the disintegration of the socialist camp, the monolithic economic model brought Cuba to the brink of collapse.

In the absence of a sufficiently powerful strategic rival, the US authorities do not need to use a single soldier at all; as long as the financial capitalists on Wall Street do something in the international futures market to suppress the prices of sugarcane, sugar, zeolite, and other materials produced in Cuba, and then formulate some restrictive policies against Cuba's tourism industry, the Cuban economy will collapse as sugar has become Cuba's most important source of foreign exchange at the beginning of the century.

In fact, the United States is only one step away from success.

Although after the feather year, the Cuban authorities focused on economic construction, no longer focused on preaching ideology, and no longer exported revolution to Latin American countries, for example, Raul Castro, who succeeded Federel Castro as Cuba's state president, attached great importance to tourism, and it was with his efforts that Cuba became a global tourist destination, not only receiving millions of tourists from all over the world every year, but ironically, Fomba received the most Americans, And many Americans go to the Bahamas or Central American countries, and then turn to Cuba, and through tourism, let some Cuban specialties be marketed all over the world, such as the famous Cuban cigars are brought to the world by tourists to Cuba, cigars are Cuba's third largest export, after sugar and zeolite. However, at the beginning of the century, the Cuban economy was still in trouble, especially after the bursting of the four high-tech bubbles, the global economy was affected, and the prices of various resources fell all the way until the year 2, followed by the global financial crisis. According to some information that was later declassified, the Bush administration formulated a plan against Cuba when it managed to create a global financial crisis: "that is, to take advantage of the opportunity of the financial crisis when resource prices fell again to collapse the Cuban economy, and then overthrow the Cuban regime in a peaceful and evolutionary way, or to gradually make Cuba a Western-style democracy."

All in all, around the force, Gu Ren's economic situation is indeed very bad.

According to the official data of the Cuban authorities, the export volume of the three main products of sugar, zeolite and cigar decreased respectively compared with 24 gills, pus and cigars, and the export income decreased by irrigation, irrigation, cicademia and macaque. The tourism industry, another pillar of Cuba's economy, has also declined for three consecutive years, with inbound tourists falling from 10,000 to 10,000 in the past year, and tourism revenue declining. According to a forecast made by a professional organization in the United States on the basis of official data released by Cuba, if the current state of income cannot be changed, Cuba's foreign exchange reserves will be exhausted within six months, that is, the country will go bankrupt.

The point is that at this time, Cuba received a very important foreign exchange income.

At the end of the year, the Cuban authorities signed a contract with the Republic for the export of sugar. i.e. the republic to. The average price of the bowl on the international market in the old year was to buy 10,000 tons of cane sugar from Cuba, and these cane sugar will be divided into, boron, in force. Deliveries were made from year to year, and because the prices were relatively cheap, the Republic would pay the total amount in advance, and the remainder in the following old years, in a decreasing fashion.

Although Cuba suffered a loss in this transaction, it gained vital foreign exchange.

Considering that the global economy will recover rapidly after the financial crisis, even if it is purchased at the average price of the old year, the republic will not suffer, and according to the price of about seventy percent of the purchase, but also paid in the old year, the republic must have taken advantage, and took a big advantage.

The problem was that the main problem that Cuba faced at that time was that large quantities of sugar could not be sold.

According to Cuban official information, before the deal with the Republic, only Havana and Santiago had been stockpiled with 10,000 tons of sugar, and it was necessary to drop a class bulk carrier to hold the warehouse. Slightly chin of sugar cane with sucrose yield, to force. By the end of the year, Cuba's surplus cane sugar will exceed 10,000 tons. In contrast, there is a huge demand for cane sugar in the domestic market of the Republic. Back in the force century. At the end of the century, the Republic passed the United States to become the world's largest importer of sugar, and it was not until the end of the century era that it was passed by India. In fact, the production of cane sugar in the republic is not very low, but the consumption is very staggering.

From an economic point of view, the sale is beneficial for both parties.

Of course, the real benefits are not in the economy.

Force. When the first cargo ship carrying 10,000 tons of sugar arrived at the port of Shanghai, a trade delegation from the Republic of China took a chartered flight from Air China to Havana.

According to the information revealed at the time, this business cooperation was not successful.

In the case of contacts with the Cuban authorities mentioned in the recollections of several businessmen of the republic. The enterprises of the republic want to be able to follow the market approach. Cooperation is based on the principles of the International Bank, that is, with Cuban companies, not with the Cuban government. Since the reform of the Cuban market economy had not yet been effective, the Cuban Government did not adopt the proposals of the Republican enterprises. The negotiations were not very productive.

The problem is that this has greatly enhanced the economic ties between the Republic and Cuba.

After Ping, in the year of Li, the business delegations of the Republic went to Havana again and signed dozens of economic and trade contracts with the Cuban authorities.

The biggest change from two years ago has been the willingness of the Cuban authorities to cooperate with the enterprises of the Republic in a market-oriented manner.

All in all, the Year of Strength was definitely a major turning point in relations between the Republic and Cuba.

At the end of that year, Cuban Yuan Raul Castro led a Cuban business delegation to visit the Republic and signed dozens of economic and trade contracts with enterprises in Beijing with a total value of tens of billions of yuan.

More importantly, at this time, the Cuban authorities offered to sign a treaty of friendship and mutual assistance with the Republic.

As is well known, the Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance is an alliance treaty, and until then the Republic had signed such treaties with only two countries, the DPRK and Pakistan. Even if the authorities of the Republic do not consider the Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance to be a military-political alliance treaty of the nature of the Atlantic, in the eyes of the vast majority of Western countries, especially the United States, the Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance is a treaty of military-political alliance. It is precisely for this reason that, in the early days of the century, in the face of the successive provocations of the DPRK, the United States did not use war to solve the problem.

The problem is, Cuba is not North Korea. Nor Pakistan.

Although in the long run, Cuba is definitely a very important country, one can even say, as long as the republic is head-to-head with the United States. Cuba is irreplaceable in importance. In a sense, Cuba is not like Indonesia, but more like the Philippines. But at that time, when the Republic was not yet capable of challenging the United States, even if the Cuban authorities offered an olive branch. The republic will not accept it either.

Of course, the Cuban authorities are also aware of the sensitivity of this issue.

In any case, Cuba is in the Caribbean, not in Northeast Asia. The republic can ally with North Korea because the republic can protect Korea with its army, while the republic is allied with Cuba but cannot protect Cuba with its navy, after all, the republic's navy is not strong enough to challenge the U.S. Navy in the Caribbean.

In fact, the "Cuban Missile Crisis" of the century was a lesson for the Republic.

At that time, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, regardless of political risks, brazenly deployed medium-range ballistic missiles and bombers carrying nuclear warheads to Cuba when its national strength was far inferior to that of the United States, and even its strategic strike capability was far inferior to that of the United States, causing the United States to dispatch a fleet to blockade Cuba, and finally forcing the Soviet Union to withdraw all missiles and bombers from Cuba and promising not to deploy strategic weapons to Cuba again. This struggle not only raised the eyebrows of the United States, but also sharply reduced the international prestige of the Soviet Union, which had a major impact on the international situation at that time.

The republics at the beginning of the century are not much different from the Soviet Union at the time of the power century.

According to a MIA report, during Raul Castro's visit to Beijing, the authorities of the Republic assessed the impact of the alliance with Cuba and concluded that the United States would certainly take extreme measures and even send troops to overthrow the Cuban regime. Although the United States will pay an extremely heavy price for this and bear infamy, it is absolutely not difficult to occupy Cuba and overthrow the Cuban regime with the combat capability of the US army, especially the experience accumulated in the previous wars.

In fact, Cuba's leaders understand this and would not have raised their desire to form an alliance privately, rather than publicly.

Of course, the leaders of the Republic cannot thus abandon Cuba.

It was also during this period that the Republic made a major breakthrough in the field of room temperature guidance.

Since the beginning of 20 years, the economic ties between the Republic and Cuba have become even closer.

Taking into account the influence of the United States, the Republic did not provide all-round support to Cuba as it did to other "fraternal countries", but only made a fuss about it economically, and tried to use market means that were recognized and supported by the Western community. For example, at the beginning of the year, the Republic signed a new currency swap agreement with Cuba, which made the Republic's enterprises more competitive in Cuba than European companies. The Republic of China and the Cuban authorities have agreed to a free-trade trade approach and have opened up the domestic market to Cuba, thus giving the best treatment to the Republican enterprises in Cuba.

All in all, in the decades that followed, the Republic's Cuban policy was dominated by forbearance.

You know, at that time the republic did not even export arms to Cuba. During the years from the beginning of the year, the total value of arms sold by the Republic to Cuba was less than 400 million yuan, which was only the gills of arms imported by Cuba from the international market, and it was not even comparable to that of the DPRK and the DPRK of Vietnam. B yuan, Vietnam is 100 million yuan.

It can be said that the republic did not want to set itself on fire.

In a sense, the Republic's Cuban policy has paid off, albeit less obviously.

In any case, the United States cannot ignore the existence of Cuba.

According to a declassified information by the Pentagon, as early as the old years of the United States, the intelligence agencies of the United States took note of the actions of the Republic in Cuba and increased their vigilance. After the year, the United States listed Cuba as one of the most unstable regions and had contingency plans in place for all eventualities, including a military plan to occupy Cuba and prop up a pro-American regime if necessary.

For Americans, Fomba is the Philippines in the Caribbean.

You must know that in the war in which the United States stepped onto the stage of great power and its great power injuries were recognized, that is, in the Spanish-American War at the end of the old century, the two colonies obtained by the United States were the Philippines in Southeast Asia and Cuba in the Caribbean. Although Cuba became an independent state shortly after the end of the Spanish-American War, and the Philippines remained a colony until after World War II, both countries had a very special significance for the United States, especially for American politicians, as it was impossible to abandon the Philippines. Naturally, it is impossible to relax surveillance on Cuba.

Before the era of gravity, that is, during the Iran War, the U.S. intelligence services believed that Cuba would take the opportunity to break out of the encirclement set up by the United States and form an alliance with the Republic and possibly even with Russia. Then. The United States has at least 2 divisions of ground forces in Florida at all times, as well as a landing fleet capable of transporting 2 divisions across the Florida Strait, and is ready for war with Cuba at any time.

In fact, Cuba did not act rashly.

This is also the biggest headache in the United States.

Just as the United States is unlikely to defeat the Republic on the Korean Peninsula, it is unlikely that the Republic will defeat the United States on the other side of the globe in the Caribbean. From the standpoint of the United States authorities, as long as it can bear the burden of war, the United States has the absolute ability to overthrow the Cuban regime.

Among the many prerequisites for sending troops to Cuba, the United States lacks only one, namely, the reason for sending troops to Cuba.

For decades, the United States authorities have been looking for reasons to send troops to Cuba.

It is a great pity that after decades of efforts, the US authorities have not been able to find this reason.

You must know that when the US intelligence agencies were in the Li Century, they carried out a less successful subversive operation, and as a result, not only did they fail to overthrow the Cuban regime, but the Cuban authorities raised their vigilance, and were condemned by the whole world, creating even greater trouble for the next troop dispatch.

Although the United States will certainly be able to find a reason to send troops, the Cuban issue is too complicated and too eye-catching, so it is impossible for the US authorities to find a reason at will, still less to use a fabricated reason to overthrow the Cuban regime, as they did when Saddam Hussein was overthrown. More importantly, Cuba is a Latin American country and has good relations with all other American countries except the United States and Canada, and if the United States overthrows Cuba's democratically elected legitimate regime on "trumped-up" charges just because of ideological differences, it will certainly lose the trust and support of all Latin American countries. In fact, this is the main reason why the United States did not send troops to help Britain attack the Falklands at the time of the four. With all the caution with regard to Argentina, it is natural that the US authorities will not be careless with regard to Cuba, which is more concerned. It is precisely in this way that the United States cannot change the political situation in Cuba with a political upheaval, as the Republic has done with Indonesia.

All in all, before taking action. The United States needs a reason, and a very good reason.

In other words, the US authorities need enough time.

The problem is that in about 2 yo years, the most important thing that the United States lacks is time.

Everyone knows that after the Republic has solved the problems around it, it will gradually encroach on the territory of the United States, and with the strength of the Republic's navy and the space force that is moving towards the height of actual combat, the Republic has already acquired the military strength to rival the United States in the Caribbean, and it is possible to form an open alliance with Cuba.

It can be said that as long as it goes this far, the United States will have no choice but to send troops to Cuba.

The problem is that in this way, the initiative will be in the hands of the republic, and the United States does not want to benefit from it.

That is, instead of letting the republic cause trouble, it is better to take the initiative to solve the problem.

It is precisely for this reason that while the Republic is struggling to resolve Indonesia, the United States authorities are also actively acting to resolve the Cuban issue and defuse the time bomb in the backyard before the Republic is ready for war.

From the standpoint of the United States, this is an action that can only succeed and not fail. ,If you want to know what will happen next,Please log in to the muscle horn,More chapters,Support the author,Support genuine reading!
