The election is still important. Kennedy, who was relaxed and relaxed in front of the people, had his heart full of the haze of nuclear war. This must have been prepared for a long time. The Soviet Union passed a series of careful preparations and now put the whole problem in front of him. Kennedy, who was speaking to the people for the congressional election, ended his trip to the west with this contradictory mood, and claimed to be back in Washington for treatment due to a cold.

Whether it is an air strike or a blockade is a question. People including Secretary of State Dean Rusk and General Maxwell Taylor, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, advocate air strikes. In this tendency, the eternal FBI Director Hoover Kennedy argued against air strikes and the rhetoric of proposing blockades was endless.

"I must remind gentlemen that war must be based on open conditions, and we cannot fight opponents in the fog. Gentlemen, the Soviet Union is not an ordinary opponent. We cannot risk fighting without knowing anything." CIA Director John Alex McCohen reminded without taking the opportunity.

"Didn't our power in the Soviet Union get a little rest?" Finance Minister Clarence Douglas Dillon asked, "Our National Security Council has many intelligence agencies, can't we get even a little information?"

Clarence Douglas Dillon is a Jewish man and has a very good relationship with the three Rockefeller brothers. He is a Republican. When Kennedy appointed him as the Secretary of the Treasury, many people unexpectedly

"It was originally there, but now it's gone," said McCohen, director of the CIA, and took out a piece of paper. "The Soviet National Security Council has carried out internal rectification in recent years, and many of our informants have disappeared."

The National Security Council is a group of staff members of the US President. Although many departments of the Intelligence Bureau provide intelligence to the National Security Council below, in terms of organizational structure, members of the National Security Council include the President, Vice President, Treasury Secretary, and Secretary of Defense, which is just a platform for negotiation.

The Soviet National Security Council is a department that coordinates Soviet intelligence, security and military affairs. The general departments of major intelligence agencies in the United States are all part of the Soviet National Security Council. The chairman of the Soviet National Security Council can access various materials at any time or change the director at any time. As long as the two first vice chairmen do not object, Semichasne can mobilize any resources of the Soviet National Security Council at will.

"McCohen is right. We cannot fight an enemy in the fog. In this way, our blockade policy against Cuba is required for our navy." Kennedy looked at Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara when he spoke. The attitude of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was already very obvious. Now the attitude of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara is very important.

"Are we ready for a total war with the Soviet Union?" Like his predecessor, Defense Minister Robert McNamara is a literati. Of course, he has been a soldier, but he is better at being a manager.

A light flashed under Robert McNamara's glasses. He put forward his own opinion, "If the United States launches air strikes on Cuba, can it guarantee that all nuclear missiles will be destroyed? If not, then the air strikes will be worth the cost, because it is an act of war, and our opponent is the Soviet Union, not even a country of the Soviet Union, but the largest country in the world and the most populous country in the world are fighting against us at the same time. Are we ready?"

We are ready, and this sentence instantly calmed down the National Security Council, which was still very noisy just now.

"If we conduct a full-scale invasion of Cuba, we may face more than 100,000 Soviet Red Army, of course we will win in the end, which is our advantage. But we must consider another issue. If the Soviet Red Army uses its huge army power to conquer Turkey like us, will we fulfill our obligations and start war with the Soviet Union all over the world?" Defense Minister Robert McNamara pushed his glasses and said heavily, "It seems that our generals have always believed that the battlefield will be limited to Cuba, without considering the issue of Türkiye's direction."

Robert McNamara's meaning is obvious. Air strikes can be done, but they must ensure that they can destroy all the Soviet nuclear missiles and bear the risk of the Soviet Union's capture of Turkey to the south. Just like Cuba, Turkey is also under the nose of the Soviet Union.

Robert McNamara's words had just finished. The heads of the Army, Navy and Air Force, including General Maxwell Taylor, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, all turned quite ugly. All members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff unanimously agreed to take military action immediately and strongly put forward their views: blockade alone is invalid.

"Mr. President. Can the Soviets retreat by blockade alone? I personally have reservations about this. The Soviets only maintain respect for powerful forces." Air Force Chief of Staff Curtis LeMay stood up and almost publicly opposed the Minister of Defense's opinion.

Like all such meetings, certain statements have been recognized as cliché, at least, such discussions do not make much sense. For example, members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff firmly advocate that we should use nuclear weapons. But know that our opponents will definitely use their nuclear weapons to fight back.

Kennedy was unmoved and determined the blockade instead of air strikes. He asked directly, "General Sweeney, can you guarantee that the Air Force can destroy all Cuban nuclear weapons?"

"Mr. President, I cannot guarantee 100%." ​​Like his colleagues, General Sweeney, the commander of the Tactical Air Force, also agreed to use military means to solve the problem, but when the President asked him personally, General Sweeney found that he could not give an accurate answer. If he really ordered the Air Force to bomb Cuba, it would be war

At this time in Moscow, Minister of Defense Malinovsky entered the Kremlin with the combat plan formulated by the Ministry of Defense and met Khrushchev. He marked the location of the Turkish city in detail and how many nuclear missiles were prepared to use to solve the Turkish problem. "As long as you are ready to use three synthetic armies to attack Turkey, you will first use nuclear weapons to blow up the US nuclear missile position, and I can guarantee that Turkey will no longer exist after this battle."

Khrushchev put away the documents and said that he would use it as a reference. Once Cuba was attacked by the United States, he would approve the Ministry of Defense's combat plan and order the Soviet armed forces and the Warsaw Pact army to prepare.

At the same time, on Ruby Yangka 11, Semichasne, Selov and Itvasov nodded to each other after a long discussion and they had reached a consensus. The KGB presidium ordered the order to be issued immediately, "In view of the rampant enemy forces within the alliance recently, security personnel in various places must maintain the stability and prosperity of the alliance. The National Security Committee of the Republic of the Republic, the State Security Administration of the Local Security Administration, the National Security Administration, the People's Committee of the Internal Affairs, and the State Administration of the Internal Affairs began to capture anti-Soviet elements who spread rumors and slander the alliance. The resolution was adopted by the Chairman of the National Security Commission, Semichasne, the First Vice Chairman, Selov, the First Vice Chairman, Itvasov and all members of the Presidium."

The National Security Commission's resolution immediately spread throughout the Soviet Union through telegrams. Recently, if a guy spreading rumors appears, he will inevitably be a fight by anti-counterfeiting workers. This is equivalent to tightening the faucet that is not dripping. Then the three of them sent a telegram in their personal name, with the same content, which is a repeated emphasis on this matter. However, after receiving the telegram from the three KGB giants, security cadres from all over the country became nervous and knew that Rubi Yangka was not a joke this time, but was urging them to maintain stability in their jurisdiction at all costs.

"I'm sorry to ask you to come back, but I have my reasons." Shelov, who returned home, looked at her women, Valia, Yelianna, Issemotney, and Lukani. Shelov, who had just arrived home, gave her wife a hug, hesitated for a moment and hugged Yelianna, turned to Issemotney and said, "You will bring my wife and children into the Moscow subway, and I will notify you when the time comes."

According to the steps of the nuclear war decrypted later generations, the capital region is a relatively low-ranking nuclear strike area. Of course, it was the information unilaterally decrypted by the United States after the Cold War. He had no impression of the news about the Soviet Union. He said that it was a relatively low-ranking, but in fact it only had half an hour of preparation time.

"Moscow Metro, isn't that preparation for nuclear war?" Valia's eyes were already very big, full of shock, and then asked anxiously, "What's going on Yura, what are you planning?"

"You are obedient." Selov glared at his eyes, but his tone softened immediately, "It's not that I'm planning something, but that we're planning something. Then you will know that you listen to me now. When I let you enter the subway, you will go in." Selov still believes in Moscow's subway system that is 100 meters deep.

To calm his woman down, Selov went upstairs and changed into a dark gray military uniform. Moscow was already a little cold.

"Why do I feel that Yula is very nervous this time? He won't be like this in ordinary things. He is always so confident, confident for no reason." Ye Lianna, who was holding the child, looked at Valia and said.
