The United States has run out of patience with Castro, and the previous round of economic sanctions has not achieved good results, and Cuba's economy has indeed had some problems because of the embargo, but because of the existence of the Soviet Union and the socialist camp, Cuba's economy has not been completely destroyed. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Although it was a little difficult to live, but after all, he still survived, didn't he?

This makes the Americans feel very faceless, and the United States, one of the world's leading superpowers, can't even handle a small Cuba. By the world? Where do you put your face when you say it?

For the United States, dealing with Cuba is no longer a matter of pure interests, but a question of the brand image of Chiguoguo. So the Americans are already a little impatient to solve the small problems that Castro has brought about.

Soon the Pentagon and the CIA came up with the Bay of Pigs plan, which was ready to solve Castro's problem with the help of Cuban exiles. At the same time, however, the U.S. State Department is still trying to use administrative means to force Castro to submit, and the specific method is simple: Cuba's economy is inextricably linked with the United States because of colonial relations. Even after the revolution in Cuba, there were still a large number of American companies engaged in economic activities in Cuba. For example, most of Cuba's electricity, energy, and transportation fields are monopolized by American companies.

It's also funny to say that Castro did not have a good face for the Americans, but after taking office, he did not immediately exterminate American companies, on the contrary, he is still implementing the relevant contracts signed by the previous government, and a large number of American companies are not said to be very nourishing in Cuba, at least they can continue to do business.

The reason why Castro did not immediately attack American enterprises is that the United States is indeed a behemoth, and his revolutionary actions have indeed harmed the interests of the United States, and the United States is likely to make him look good. At such a time, it is better to avoid further angering the United States. Castro on the other hand though is a communal. But he was accompanied by a large number of the Cuban middle class, and the fundamental reason for the opposition to Batista was that it was eating alone to the detriment of their interests. And this middle class is not anti-American, on the contrary, their personal interests are closely related to the United States. And they're all about altogether. There was not much interest in bourgeoisation or socialism, and as soon as Castro came to power and made a big deal of reforms and argued with the United States, the gang would immediately oppose Castro as much as they did Batista.

What's more, Castro himself knows that his wings are not plump and his foundation is not solid, and he cannot completely turn his face with the United States for the time being. Based on these circumstances, as long as American companies continue to do things according to their contracts, Castro is not in a hurry to attack them.

So there is a strange situation in which Cuba and the U.S. government are talking badly to each other, while American companies are still able to make money in Cuba. But that soon changed, and after the previous economic blockade policy did not work satisfactorily, the US government felt that it was necessary to exert further pressure on the Castro regime, so the US Congress soon passed a bill prohibiting American companies from using American fuel to generate electricity for Cuba.

This decision may seem strange to some comrades, and it would be better for American companies to use American fuel to generate electricity for Cuba? It's not that simple, because the U.S. Congress has already imposed an oil embargo on Cuba, which means that U.S. companies in Cuba don't have access to U.S.-produced fuel. Before this new ban, Cuba had solved its problem by importing fuel from the Soviet Union, but now this new ban is tantamount to blocking Cuba's path.

In fact, this is overbearing and unreasonable, because when US companies signed contracts with the Cuban Government, they did not stipulate that they could only use American oil, and that it was okay to use oil from any country. This is tantamount to forcing the United States to default on its business in Cuba, and to put it bluntly, it is trying to kill the Castro regime.

In the eyes of the Americans, this move could bring the Castro regime to an end, and they believe that Castro has absolutely nothing to do about it. But they underestimated Castro, who was Castro? He's a complete communist. The Industrial Party does not like the current model of Cuba, but it is only because of the restrictions of objective reasons that it has postponed the reform. And now, the self-righteous ban of the Americans gave Castro the best excuse.

After the U.S. ban was issued, U.S. companies in Cuba naturally complied, and Cuba naturally fell into a fuel and electricity crisis. Castro immediately warned him that this was a serious breach of contract by the American company, and that if the American company could not resume production immediately, the Cuban government would take drastic measures!

The Americans still did not heed this warning, and even if they did, it would not be possible to carry it out, and for them Castro and Cuba were definitely not as lethal as the U.S. Senate. As a result, Castro did not need to be patient, and he immediately announced that all the companies involved would be nationalized on the grounds that the US companies had defaulted.

Now the U.S. Senate was dumbfounded, this ban had no positive effect at all, but helped Castro get everything he wanted, and even because it was the U.S. ban that caused all this to happen, the middle class in Cuba did not have much resentment towards Castro. Who made you Americans go overboard in the first place?

The US Congress was dumbfounded, and the American companies with economic interests in Cuba were also dumbfounded, they did not expect that Castro was so strong, and almost slapped the United States in the face again!

"This poisoner must be overthrown!"

"Hang Castro!"

"Restoration of the people of Cuba. The Lord is imminent! ”

For a while, all kinds of media were making a lot of noise, almost shouting and killing. The Bay of Pigs plan, which had already taken shape, was officially raised to the highest priority. According to the plan of the Pentagon and the CIA, they first organized the Cuban exiles in the United States, armed them and provided them with adequate military training, then landed in the Bay of Pigs in Cuba with the support of the US Navy and Air Force, and then marched to Havana.

For a time, the United States recruited Cuban exiles in the Caribbean, and then after training by the US military, a so-called assault brigade was formed, which was later known as the 2506 Assault Brigade. It should be said that the Americans still put great effort into this unit, but things are not as simple as they imagined, Castro has not been idle during the year, and his unit is no longer the guerrillas of a year ago.

Castro was not a fool, he knew that he had become a thorn in the side of the United States, and in order to ensure the fruits of the revolution, the first thing was to strengthen national defense. In this regard, the Soviet Union was relatively generous. Anyway, there are a lot of leftover materials from World War II, and with the modernization of the Red Army after World War II, these weapons are still waiting to be moldy in the warehouse, and it is better to generously send them out as a favor.

The Soviet Union gave Castro about 300 T-34s, 100 Su-76s, a large number of small arms and artillery, and most importantly, a considerable number of La-7, Yak-3, Il-2, Tu-3 and other propeller fighters. In addition, Castro himself gritted his teeth and pooled money from the treasury to buy a batch of relatively advanced MiG-15s, and after more than a year of training, these weapons have basically formed combat effectiveness.

On the other hand, the 2506 Brigade was originally a complex group of exiles, with different ideologies and poor discipline, and most of them "joined the army" for the benefits promised by the Americans. More importantly, Truman also demanded that the 2506 Brigade do its best to distance itself from the United States when it acts, so as not to make the world feel that the United States is actively participating in and instigating exiles to subvert the regimes of other countries. In other words, the so-called political correctness cannot be caught. So neither the Pentagon nor the CIA can provide the 2506 Brigade with the best weapons, and neither the Americans can directly participate in the operation.

Therefore, most of the equipment of the 2506 Brigade is weapons used in World War II by the United States, such as M1 rifles or something, and the sea and air forces are also poor, and the dispatches are old goods like B-26. And because the training time is very short, it is really difficult to say about the combat effectiveness of the relevant personnel of the 2506 Brigade.

However, the Americans were full of confidence, believing that as soon as the 2506 Brigade arrived at Castro, it would be over. Let's ignore the confident Americans for a moment and see how Castro and the Soviets reacted.

As mentioned earlier, Castro has been raising his vigilance because he is worried that the Americans will come to get him. As for the Soviet side, a certain immortal will not forget the historical choices of the Americans, so the KGB is very concerned about the movements of the United States in Cuba, in fact, the Americans have done a very sloppy job of secrecy, and the training of the 2506 Brigade in Florida is not difficult to find out at all. And when they recruited people in the Caribbean, they made it even clearer. As long as KGB is not a pig's head, such a big stroke cannot be discovered unless you are blind and deaf.

Let's put it this way, KGB has been observing the movements of the 2506 Brigade, and even got the details of the Americans' Bay of Pigs operation through the inside line, such as the landing location and time. Knowing this, is it still difficult for the USSR and Cuba? It must have been a hand-to-hand capture.

For the USSR and Castro, the question to ponder was, to destroy the Americans before they even started to act? Or do you simply set up a net in the Bay of Pigs and wait for the 2506 Brigade to be wiped out?

Fortunately, this problem is not difficult, and for Castro, it is the best option to wipe out these hateful rebels, so that there will be a lot less trouble in the future! Therefore, together with Soviet experts, he worked out a plan to tie up the net, and was ready to pit the Americans with all his plans!

The Americans were quick to do it, because they were already impatient. On November 17, 1949, CIA agents were the first to secretly sneak into the waters off Cuba in a submarine and then land in the Bay of Pigs in diving gear, tasked with marking the landing sites for the 2506th Brigade. In fact, at the beginning, Truman did not agree with the direct participation of the Americans in the operation, but it is a pity that the frogmen of the 2506 Brigade have limited professional quality and cannot complete such a complex task at all, and in the end they can only be handled by the CIA.

The operation went smoothly, the frogs successfully landed in the Bay of Pigs and marked them without encountering any obstacles, in fact, there was no one in sight of a boat near the Bay of Pigs, as if God was helping them.

Of course, we knew that this was impossible, because it was all arranged by Castro and Soviet advisers, and while the CIA agents were busy working on the beach, someone in the dense forest in the distance was watching their every move. And the submarine carrying CIA agents has also been marked, and four Soviet-backed Type 36 anti-submarine frigates are ready, and as long as the CIA agents have done their job, they will take a decisive action and capture the American submarine that illegally invaded Cuban territorial waters in one fell swoop.

Everything went smoothly when the CIA agents returned to the submarine and reported to headquarters that everything was OK and the operation could begin. First, powerful electromagnetic interference appeared out of thin air, cutting off the submarine's connection with the United States, and then four Type 36 frigates came out to force the submarine to surrender in one fell swoop. Then all that's left is to wait.

The 2506th Brigade soon arrived, and the 2506th Brigade paratroopers transported by C-54 and C-46 also parachuted over the Bay of Pigs. Without any trace of resistance, the soldiers of the 2506 Brigade easily landed in the Bay of Pigs, and the next almost victory was within reach!

Just when the group of conspirators was in high spirits and had already achieved great things, the roar of diesel engines was heard outside the beach not far from the Bay of Pigs, and a large group of T-34s crushed all the way to the beach, and ten kilometers outside the town, a large number of heavy artillery lifted its camouflage, and the artillerymen were busy filling the chambers with shells. And at sea, the Type 36 frigate appeared again, firing fiercely at the transport ships of the 2506 brigade, and in just half an hour, several transport ships were either shot and caught fire or raised white flags in surrender.

As for the beaches, the poor bugs of the 2506 Brigade were even more unlucky, they were ploughed back and forth again and again by an overwhelming barrage of rockets and heavy artillery shells, and there was no time to dig bunkers on the empty beaches, and they suffered heavy casualties. And as they rushed through the land of death, tongues of fire erupted from the woods outside the beach, smashing anyone who tried to break through into a sieve.

The entire landing operation lasted 5 hours before it was declared a failure, and the remaining soldiers of the 2506 Brigade had to raise the white flag and lay down their arms and surrender. And all the Cuban army needs to do is tie them up one by one with ropes, a grand celebration is already ready in Wahana, and the journalists of the socialist camp have been waiting for a long time, believing that tomorrow the American feat will be known and laughed at by the whole world......
