Operation Bay of Pigs shocked the world, and no one could have imagined that the American-led coup would be such a fiasco. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The Cuban exiles involved in the operation were almost completely wiped out, and more importantly, Castro's troops suffered minor losses, which was a one-sided hanging. This shocked countries around the world, and they couldn't understand why Castro and Cuba, who were unknown before, exploded overnight.

For a time, there was a lot of discussion around the world about why this happened. There are many theories, and one is very mixed, but there is one opinion that gradually gains general agreement - that Soviet weapons are more powerful than American weapons. With American weapons, you just can't do the old man.

As soon as this kind of opinion came out, the Americans were annoyed and angry, especially the major arms dealers, who were furious, and this was smashing the brand! How can you bear it!

But what makes it difficult for Americans to defend themselves is that those who hold this opinion still give an explanation in an orderly manner: During the civil war of the Scrape Communists, the T Communists who used Soviet-made weapons defeated the Scraping People's Party with American-made weapons, right? This time, Castro, who used Soviet-made weapons, also defeated the 2506 Brigade armed by you Americans, right? Doesn't that tell the story?

Naturally, the Americans did not admit it, neither admitting that Soviet-made weapons were stronger than American-made weapons, nor admitting that they had anything to do with Operation Bay of Pigs and the 2506 Brigade. The official statement of the White House is: "The United States will not participate in any conspiracy to subvert the regimes of other countries, and the motto of the United States has always been democracy, freedom, peace, and fraternity." The current military conflict in Cuba is an uprising of Cubans dissatisfied with Castro's poisonous rule, and it expresses its deep sympathy and support for the Cuban fighters who are committed to democracy and freedom in this operation, and the United States has always believed that everyone has the right to pursue democracy and freedom, and the Cuban people are no exception. However, the U.S. government has nothing to do with this incident, and any attempt to lead public opinion to link the U.S. government with this incident is undoubtedly the most despicable framing of the United States. ”

The spokesman of the White House is conclusive, it seems that everything is under control, in his mouth Castro is a clown, and the United States is so magnificent.

It's just that no one believes this man's words, uh, a little correction, I'm afraid that only those who have been fooled by the Americans or taken cents. Zhijing. Only the British will believe it and advocate such a disgusting lie. As for people with normal intelligence, they all know that this is an American who wants to be a bitch and build a torii.

Of course, the Americans are also somewhat emboldened. When planning this operation, they took all factors into account, and in order to avoid being provoked by the failure of the operation, they made a lot of preparations. For example, the weapons and equipment mentioned above are all leftover materials from World War II. Some comrades want to ask, even if it is the surplus materials of World War II, it is American goods, right?

It is true that the United States is a good thing, but after the end of World War II, the United States sold a large number of surplus materials to its closest allies in the world, and it can be said that American-made equipment is very proliferating, and many countries in Latin America have a large number of American-made weapons, who dares to say that the American-made weapons of the 2506 Brigade must have been given by the Americans?

As long as this is set aside, Americans feel that everything is safe. As for whether the captured officers and men of the 2506 Brigade will give everything and distort everything, the Americans have a hundred reasons to refute, and the simplest and most commonly used one is: "This is the despicable poisoner Castro who tortured and extorted confessions from the officers and men of the 2506 Brigade to force them to lie and attack the United States, and his despicable and unspeakable purpose has been achieved!" ”

Anyway, all in all, everything is Castro's pot, and any words that are unfavorable to the United States are lies, rumors and slander. Anyway, the United States is a beacon of humanity, and there can be no mistakes, and if there is a mistake, someone else is wrong.

Anyway, Americans feel that there is no need to be afraid of this kind of verbal cannon, most of the world public opinion is in their own hands, and even if Castro has 10,000 truths and evidence, it will not be worth the slander of the public.

The Americans sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and fought a round of mouth cannon with Cuba very easily, and everything was under control. Truman and the White House and Congress don't need to be nervous at all, those who should attend the banquet attend the banquet, those who should listen to the opera listen to the opera, the sky can't fall!

Just when the high-ranking officials in the United States were very relaxed and comfortable thinking that there was no, the sky fell apart! The Cuban side suddenly announced the capture of the US submarine and frogman, and pointed out that the submarine and frogman were the accomplices used by the US Government to help the 2506 Brigade land in Cuba. Immediately after that, a series of videos related to the interrogation of American submarine sailors and CIA frogmen were made public. In the video, the Americans bow their heads and confess the facts of the crime of invading Cuban territorial waters and assisting the landing of the 2506 Brigade.

This day, a big hole was broken. In an instant, the hotline of the White House was blown up by a flood of news reporters, and all kinds of analyses and interpretations of this matter in the market were even more numerous. What is even more frightening is that the relatives and families of the sailors and agents have also repeatedly called Congress and the White House to ask for an explanation, strongly demanding that the president explain why their husbands were arrested by the Cuban dictator, and that the president bring their relatives back immediately.

In an instant, Truman was overwhelmed, because the government could dominate the news media and guide them to report in favor of the government because there was no sufficient evidence. But once there is this reversal of the gods, the news media will not be so obedient, for these undisciplined guys, sales and ratings always come first, if the government and the president have no face to increase sales, then why not? Maybe if you do that, you'll get an award and a reputation like a freedom fighter!

For a while, Truman had a headache and wanted to hit the wall, so he could only find Dulles and scold him, because this broken plan was his handiwork. The problem is that scolding can't solve any problems, and the negative public opinion has turned the world upside down, and if you don't give them an explanation, it will definitely not stop.

"And what can you do?" Truman asked, propped his forehead.

Dulles replied: "There are generally three ways to deal with such a situation: first, to deny it strenuously; But you know that the situation is not good, and the more you deny it, the more it will backfire. The second option is to exert diplomatic pressure on Cuba to force the Cuban government to take back everything under the pretext of military threats or the interruption of aid; But you know, we broke off diplomatic relations with Cuba and we didn't give them any assistance, which means we don't have the means or the space to put pressure on them. ”

Hearing this, Truman only wanted to hit someone, and he patiently asked, "What about the third way?" ”

Dulles shrugged and replied: "Declare war on Cuba and settle all this directly by force!" ”

Well, Truman is more and more eager to fight people, to declare war on Cuba, what kind of is this? If war can be declared on Cuba, will there be any Bay of Pigs operation? Nima, after talking for a long time, it is not useful at all.

"What if we admit it?" Truman asked, a little anxious.

Dulles pouted and replied: "This is definitely not a good suggestion, the news media and Congress will chase you fiercely......"

Truman sincerely regretted it, and going to Cuba to make trouble was really a wrong choice, but now that the wood is in the boat, you can't just pretend to be deaf and dumb, right?

For ordinary people, this is a big hurdle to get past it, but for politicians, it is not without solutions. Truman was quick to think of a solution, and the best way for politicians to face an unsolvable problem was to create a more frightening topic to divert the attention of ordinary people and the media. This trick is tried-and-true.

For Truman, however, the question of where the more exciting topics are is a key one. The topic needs to be eye-catching, but not so dangerous as to pose. For example, in order to divert attention from going to war with the Soviet Union, this is certainly not the best choice, it is a death.

This type of topic must be eye-catching but harmless enough, and it must be the kind that can be calmed down as soon as the limelight is over. So has the U.S. had similar leverage lately?

Yes, in the Middle East. Beginning in 1948, relations between Egypt and Israel became increasingly tense as Egypt changed masters. Nasser was a hardcore opponent of Israel, advocating the elimination of Israel and helping Balesta's brothers regain their lost homeland. Of course, Nasser's more important goal in opposing Israel is to establish a unified pan-Arab state. In Nasser's vision, if all Arab countries were united, there would be an important Arab seat in the world, and it would be entirely possible to become a new world power. The thought of being able to build a second "Ottoman Empire" Nasser is exciting.

You look at how powerful Ottoman Turkey was in history, and at one time it was a European power to the west. Today's Arabia also has oil resources that Ottoman Turkey did not have. As the region with the richest oil reserves in the world, Arabia is a big oil barrel, and controlling oil is equivalent to locking the lifeblood of the world economy. How powerful it would be if a new unified Arab empire were established!

Some comrades may ask, is there an inevitable connection between the establishment of a unified new Arab empire and the elimination of Israel? Now there are quite a lot of Arab countries, and you Nasser can go and lobby them one by one! If the prospects are really so good, there is no reason why the Arabs should not be interested!

Hehe, remember the relationship between the whole and the part taught in middle school politics class? The Arab question applies to this relationship. The unified Arab world as a whole will indeed be very powerful, and it will indeed have the possibility of becoming a world power, which will definitely enable the Arab nation to rise to a higher level on the world stage.

However, this is a positive overall. But for the ruling class of these Arab countries, is there so much at stake? By selling oil, they have already lived a life like a prince, they can have whatever they want, and as the ruler of a country, he doesn't need to look at other people's faces at all, how comfortable is this kind of life?

And once a unified Arab is established, how much will their original ruling class change and will they be able to gain more benefits? I'm afraid that not only is it not beneficial, but it is also harmful. There are only so many national leaders, and they can only accommodate so many people, and there must be some people who will lower their grades, and lowering the grade means that their interests are damaged, who would be so stupid to push for it knowing that it is not good for them?

Therefore, the great unification of Arabia is full of interest for some ambitious people who want to do something big. And for those who are mediocre and waiting for death, it is a measure to smash their jobs, which is naturally a strong resistance. In the Arab countries, the former is rare, while the latter grabs a large area. That is, the rulers of most of the Arab countries were not interested in Nasser's proposals.

Therefore, Nasser has to find a way to get them interested, and if he can't get them interested, he has to find a way to pinch these Arab countries together, for example, to find a common enemy as a target to unite the Arab countries. And as far as the eye can see, the only target seems to be Israel.

Not only is Israel the best target, but more importantly, Nasser's appeal is still seriously insufficient, and few people will listen to his proposals. And the best way to increase appeal is to do something big, and if Nasser can get rid of Israel, then he will inevitably gain high prestige. At that time, as long as he raised his arms and shouted, the whole of Arabia would respond en masse, and if he proposed the establishment of a great unified Arabia at that time, I am afraid that the resistance to opposition would be much smaller!

In this respect, Nasser was an idealist, or at least a man with ideals. He is still fundamentally different from those mediocre princes who lie on the oil field and eat and wait for death. Unfortunately, the more idealistic and ambitious people are, the greater the difficulties they will face. Especially with an ideal like Nasser, it's quite difficult. And Nasser got the wrong direction from the beginning, the biggest obstacle he had to face was not the group of oil princes and oil princes who were waiting to die, these bunch of goods were scum, and his real enemy was the big hooligans who held the lifeblood of the world economy.

The reason is very simple, for the big hooligans, it is natural to hope that the raw materials of basic industries are cheaper, especially oil and energy are controlled. But Nasser wants to move this cake, and the ability of a unified Arab to control oil will naturally be greatly enhanced, and then it will become a seller's market, do you think the buyers can be happy?

Therefore, for the world economic hooligans, such heresy of Nasser must not be tolerated, and it is better for the Arab countries to be scattered, so that they can easily defeat each other...... (To be continued.) )
