"Vote passed!" Supreme Soviet President Brezhnev, Chairman of the Russian Federation Council of Ministers Voronov, Soviet Union Second Secretary Kozlov, First Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers Kosigin, Secretary of the Secretariat Kuxin, Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers Migoyan, and Suslov, Kirilenko, and other members of the Central Bureau of the Shwernik voted to pass after consultation, recognizing Khrushchev's description of Cuba's strategic status.
"Comrades, we all know that Turkey's missiles threaten the Soviets. In order to bring the enemy and us back to balance, this adventure is absolutely worth it!" After the vote was passed, Khrushchev said to other members of the Central Presidium with a serious face, "This risk is worth taking, and it must be taken. The most obvious and fastest way to change the Soviets' threat is in Cuba. Please rest assured and believe me..."
"After John Kennedy came to power, the landing of the Battle of Guilong Beach failed, causing him to lose a diplomatic round. The United States has no good reason to oppose Castro taking all possible precautions against another invasion, including receiving nuclear weapons assistance from the Soviet Union."
"Fight against the siege of the United States. Given that the United States had already surrounded the Soviet Union with bomber bases and missiles at that time, the United States' missiles in Turkey and the Federal Germany were aimed at the Soviet Union, and important industrial centers of the Soviet Union were under the direct threat of nuclear bombers and strategic bombers, the missiles should be transported into Cuba as soon as possible, and they should be installed before the United States discovers them and can be launched."
"Deploying missiles to Cuba is obviously a quick, cheap, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to restore the balance of the Soviet Union and the United States. From a military perspective, about one hundred missiles are placed in Cuba, some have a range of one thousand miles, and a few have a range of one thousand five hundred to two thousand miles, and can avoid the US early warning system, which will in fact double the Soviet Union's ability to strike the United States and change the strategic position of the Soviet Union."
Khrushchev held his right hand tightly, aggravating his tone of speaking, indicating how serious the current situation is.
"It's time to give Americans a great look!" Second Secretary Kozlov first expressed support for Khrushchev's proposal to show unity between the first secretary and the second secretary of the Soviet Union. He stood up and walked to Khrushchev. He was facing other members of the Central Presidium and said in a fierce tone, "The nuclear missile deployed by the United States in Turkey seriously endangered the security of the Soviet Union. This time we will never compromise. The united Soviet Union is not afraid of any challenges..."
"Agree, no matter what happens, we will never compromise!" Brezhnev stood up from the spot, his big eyebrows on his eyes tightly twisted together, adding a hint of hideousness. Brezhnev's statement showed that this matter was unstoppable.
Kosykin sighed softly in secret and raised his hand to express his support. His statement proved that the Central Presidium of the Soviet Union had reached a consensus on this matter. Khrushchev greeted the comrades from the Secretariat and said, "Call the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the KGB immediately and come to the Kremlin. If you have something to discuss!" The three departments of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the KGB are theoretically directly responsible to the Central Presidium. As the three departments with special status, they are actually responsible to Khrushchev himself.
It was already late at night when I received the call from Khrushchev. Moscow was just right in June, and the daylight was less hot. The sound of some insects on the lawn was somewhat inconsistent with the atmosphere at this time. When I arrived at the Kremlin, Selov got off the car and saw Marshal Malinovsky, First Deputy Minister Warsaw Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Marshal Grechko, First Deputy Minister General Staff Marshal Zakharov, and Strategic Rocket Force Marshal Negelin. Nodded slightly, Selov, KGB Chairman Semichasne, and another First Vice Chairman Itvasov, and entered the Kremlin together.
Perhaps it was in the middle of the night. A slight movement could be heard far away. The sound of footsteps sounded throughout the corridor. The KGB wearing military leather shoes and the generals of the Ministry of Defense were getting closer and closer with the sound of kicking footsteps. They added a sense of oppression that was about to come. They pushed open the door of the conference room and saluted the members of the Central Presidium present, and saw that Foreign Minister Gromiko was already sitting there.
The conference room was large and had hundreds of chairs, so there was no need to worry that people would not be able to find a place to sit. Khrushchev nodded and asked the controllers of the three departments to sit down and expressed his thoughts in front of the members of the Central Presidium.
"The Soviet motherland cannot be unilaterally oppressed by imperialism. We must bring the world back to balance!" Khrushchev's passionate words made Selov's eyelids jump. It was indeed this, the Cuban missile crisis.
Marshal Malinovsky looked at each other with his assistants, and first stood up and said, "We are willing to participate in this exciting contest. No matter when, the Soviet armed forces are willing to shed the last drop of blood for the motherland!"
"The KGB unconditionally obeys any orders from the First Secretary, even if we are letting us die!" Semichasne immediately made a statement. Selov and Itvasov stood up at the same time. Although they did not speak, they expressed their attitude with their actions.
"The diplomatic mediation will be handed over to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs. What is the attitude of the unruly Americans? Our attitude is not!" Foreign Minister Gromiko did not retreat at all. When it comes to such matters, no one dared to bear the reputation of a coward.
Yes, no one dares to bear the crime of cowardice. Once this title is related to oneself, it means the end of political life. No one present, especially the official members of the Central Bureau of Presidium, dares to be vague about this matter. So once it is decided to confront Cuba and the United States head-on, no other members of the Central Bureau of Presidium will take a step back, except Khrushchev himself, because they have no capital to retreat.
Marshal Malinovsky, First Deputy Minister Marshal Grechko, Commander-in-Chief of the Warsaw Armed Forces, First Deputy Minister Marshal Zaharov, Strategic Rocket Force Marshal Nejerin discussed and told Khrushchev his thoughts. With the 51st Missile Division as the Cuban cluster, he was under the 79th Guards Missile Regiment (r-12/ss-4), iii 181st Missile Regiment (r-12/ss-4), iii 665th Missile Regiment (r-14/ss-5), iii 668th Missile Regiment (r-14/ss-5), iii 664th Guards Missile Regiment (r-12/ss-4), each of which has 8 sets of launching devices and 12 missiles.
The 16th Air Defense Missile Regiment, the 276th Air Defense Missile Regiment, and the 500th Air Defense Missile Regiment, each regiment has 4 battalions, each battalion has 6 sets of s-75 surface-to-air missile launchers and independent radar battalions. The 27th Air Defense Division's 294th Air Defense Missile Regiment, the 318th Air Defense Missile Regiment, and the 466th Air Defense Missile Regiment, each regiment has 4 battalions, and each battalion has 6 sets of s-75 surface-to-air missile launchers.
The 213th Fighter Regiment: 40 MiG-21f Air Force subordinates, the 561st Front-line Cruise Missile Regiment, the 584th Front-line Cruise Missile Regiment, each regiment has 8 sets of launch devices, equipped with FKR-1/ssc-2a cruise missiles. These two regiments carry 80 nuclear warheads.
The 437th Independent Helicopter Regiment: 33 Mi-4, the 134th Independent Aviation Communications Squadron: 11 aircraft. The Army dispatched the 496th Independent Motorized Infantry Regiment, the 400th Independent Motorized Infantry Regiment, the 496th Independent Motorized Infantry Regiment, the above four regiments were all from the 64th Guards Motorized Infantry Division of the Leningrad Military Region.
"It seems that there are fewer things, the First Secretary, and the comrades of the Ministry of Defense, I think you have forgotten the role of anti-ship missiles. Why not transfer the Styx anti-ship missiles into the preparations for war?" Selov stood up and asked, "Since it has reached this point, we must be prepared for the worst. We must take out the power that the Americans can be enough to worry about at one time, and all aspects of the issues must be considered. Otherwise, what should we do to put out some of the power? Let the Americans humiliate us? As we all know, the US Navy is the only one in the world. If the US Navy is in the worst moment, what will the United States fight a nuclear war with us because of its threat? From my perspective, the current power in Cuba is not enough to scare the Americans..."
"Yuri, the Styx missile is not yet mature!" Ustinov felt that he should tell Selov the truth.
"Can't Styx missiles be equipped with nuclear warheads? A large amount of them cannot be installed, and a 100,000 tons of less than 100,000 tons should be enough?" Selov asked in turn, "I think we should install a single on the Pacific Ocean before we start the operation to do an experiment to see if the Styx has basic combat capabilities. We can find a scrapped 10,000-ton wheel to try our power."
"Also, I have been to Cuba, and I believe no one knows Cuba better than I do. I have some things left in Ruby Yangka. I hope that the First Secretary and the comrades of the Central Bureau of the Presidium can wait!" Selov asked Khrushchev, "The above records some of the work I did during my inspection in Cuba. I believe that comrades will be interested..."
It was not long, and the documents sent by Ruby Yangka came to the Kremlin. They made the preparations they had made before and made them known to the members of the Central Presidium. They pointed to the unfinished building in the photo and said, "Just as you see, the inside of the building is completely hollow. Even if the ballistic missile is in the launch state, nothing can be seen from the sky. I can tell comrades clearly that as long as they are not discovered during the missile transportation process, they will never be discovered unless there are American spies in Cuba infiltrated. There are hundreds of such buildings. In other words, once the missile is on the shore, there will be no problem of building a launch site. As long as there are some facilities, the iron sheet on the roof can be unveiled and launched..."
"Selov, have you started preparing for this earlier?" Brezhnev asked with an interesting expression after reading it, "Are you always preparing for the so-called worst-case scenario?"
"As a national security cadre, I have registered the situation in some hot areas, and this is just one of them!" Shelov neither admitted nor denied, "It is always right to be careful. At present, it seems that I am not in vain to prepare!"
