A week after Cuba discovered the missile, the United States and the Soviet Union were making relevant preparations. The United Kingdom, France and the Federal Republic of Germany all received news from the United States, and the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Germany chose to support the United States. After expressing their concerns, France also expressed its willingness to stand on the same position with the Americans at the appropriate time.

But after compiling the battle situation in Algeria, Charles de Gaulle, who was in Paris, felt that the protracted things could be solved at one time, so he made a risky decision to leak the news to the media.

But France's actions are not as fast as the Americans. After a week of waiting, Kennedy knew that it was time to increase the price. US President Kennedy delivered a television speech, publicly announcing that the Soviet Union had deployed missiles in Cuba and began to block Cuba from two days later. In addition, he asked Khrushchev to withdraw Soviet missiles from Cuba and threatened to launch a strong counterattack if the United States was attacked. The US ** team entered a third-level security state, and more US troops were moved to Florida, with about 200 ships surrounding Cuba. The United States was posing as a nuclear war, with strategic air bombers taking off nuclear bombs, and strategic nuclear submarines going to sea, and the US military was in a nuclear readiness state. The US Strategic Air Force's comprehensive combat readiness order was issued in clear code.

The clear-code telegram was sent out, and it was quickly intercepted by the Soviet Union. At the same time, the Soviet embassy in the United States was also questioned at home. Because according to the earlier confidentiality agreement, all other diplomats were kept in the dark except for the foreign minister.

"Comrades, imperialism has launched the first wave of warnings. What is our response?" Khrushchev looked at the members of the Central Presidium around him with a burning look. He hoped to see some kind of responsibility and strength in his comrades.

"Yula is right. The United States' reaction was ultimately to use the navy to carry out a blockade, and we must first break through this blockade!" The first person to speak was Xie Lieping, an alternate member of the Central Bureau of the Central Bureau. Xie Lieping and the KGB had discussed this issue specifically before. Shelov had mentioned all possible situations and specifically mentioned that if the US Navy blocked, it must break through to people all over the world.

"Yes, if there is no action, it will cause a huge blow to the Soviet image!" Brezhnev said.

Khrushchev set his sight on Kozlov next to him, feeling Khrushchev's gaze. Kozlov nodded seriously. Khrushchev, who had received support, immediately ordered, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the KGB and the Ministry of Defense, were ready immediately. This time we unite and must break through the American encirclement..."

Soon, Marshal Gorshkov, who received the order, ordered the navy to remain alert, and the submarine troops left the port immediately, and conventional submarine shoelace submarine missile SN4 left the port, headed to the Atlantic and Pacific waters to gather and standby, and the N-class nuclear submarine formation went to the Caribbean to wait for an opportunity to arrive in Cuba.

Soviet Defense Minister Marshal Malinovsky issued an order from the Ministry of Defense. The military regions of Osad, North Caucasus and Transcaucasus, which are close to Turkey, have increased their combat readiness levels, and soldiers' leave is cancelled, and they enter the third-level combat readiness state.

"The local National Security Bureau and the State Administration of Internal Affairs must remain vigilant and strictly demand themselves. To prevent some illegal people from spreading rumors to subvert and destroy the Soviets!" Semichasne issued a telegram to the KGB agencies across the country on the same day.

Not long after, Selov received information from the United States and learned that the US military was mobilizing, two hundred ships, including eight aircraft carriers, were starting from major US military ports to Florida. At the same time, there were about five infantry divisions gathering, and the air force was moving faster. A total of 68 fighter squadrons had arrived there.

Selov arrived at the Kremlin to report the news to the Central Presidium. Listening to the gathering of the United States, the entire conference room was silent. The US army's strength was never within the scope of the Soviet Union's considerations. It was only five divisions, and its combat effectiveness was probably not too high. However, the huge surface fleet such as eight aircraft carriers and two hundred search ships was the weakest point of the Soviet Union. Cuba was covered with seas on all sides, and the Soviet army could not do anything. Compared with the air force of this size, the Soviet air force was still a drop in the bucket, but at least it was supported by air defense missiles.

"Our nuclear missiles are the biggest psychological deterrence. The Americans don't know how many there are, and they dare not do anything randomly." After saying the military forces mobilized by the United States, Selov said. Compared with the Cuban missile crisis in history, the Soviet Union's military force is still in the fog. Unlike the Americans who quickly estimated the number of missiles, Selov was absolutely confident this time that the Americans still don't know how many missiles the Soviet Union had on the island. The U2 reconnaissance aircraft is indeed very powerful, but he could not see through the situation inside the building.

"I will not be scared by Kennedy's bluff. When I was fighting in Ukraine, I didn't know where this little guy was?" Khrushchev clenched his right fist and emphasized, "Comrade Andre Gromiko, tell the Americans that we will not accept this kind of hostility. This is going in the direction of nuclear war..."

Just as the United States and the Soviet Union were discussing how to make the other side give in, the news had already spread on the European continent. Whether it was Western Europe or Eastern Europe, NATO or Warsaw Pact, they all seemed to have learned the explosive news from a bolt from the blue. As early as the Polish government immediately blocked the news of the Polish advisory group, because three days ago, the Polish advisory group had decided to launch an attack, and at this time the offensive of the Algerian People's Army had begun.

The news of the nuclear standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union in Cuba instantly received a huge response, and the responses of Western European countries were very fierce. The Times published an article with the title that we have never been so close to the nuclear war, and used a pessimistic tone to analyze the results of the nuclear war once it broke out. The Soviet Union once said that Britain was only three hydrogen and bombs could solve it. France was a little troublesome and might need five.

Nuclear war is so close that small riots have occurred in some cities. Older people will not forget that World War II, which has ended less than twenty years ago, has turned Europe into ruins, let alone nuclear war. Thinking of the terrible future they face, no matter how strong people are, they cannot remain indifferent.

Four hours after Kennedy made a televised speech, TASS president Golinov personally wrote an editorial to criticize American imperialism, "Look at the imperialist country that is strong outside and is a man who claims to be the world's number one. It always thinks that the earth is its own. It is arrogant and ignorant. When facing a small country, it uses the most powerful fleet on the earth to blockade without hesitation, as if Cuba will really invade it. This fully reflects the weakness of imperialism. They are afraid of even a little threat. Who would believe that Cuba will invade the United States? Anyone with a little common sense will know how fragile Cuba's power is compared to the millions of armed forces of Americans to the teeth. A giant accused the baby in the swaddling baby of committing crimes. This is a shameless hegemonic logic..."

"The Soviet Union accepted Cuba's request, and they asked us to protect them and protect a new third world small country. When a small island country is in a dangerous situation and asks for help from the Soviet Union, we cannot refuse them, just like we cannot refuse all the poor people. Facing Cuba, the Americans have no mercy. Guantanamo, the largest port in Cuba, is still in the hands of the Americans. As long as the Americans want, they can make an amphibious landing at any time, just like they did in Incheon more than ten years ago, and it is easier than that time. The largest port of their own country was occupied by foreigners, and Cuba cannot abolish this treaty, because this treaty stipulates that as long as the Americans disagree, it will never be lifted. This is a blatant act of aggression..."

The editorial of Golinov is very influential. Ordinary Europeans will not know about this small country under the eyes of Americans. Who would know what a country under the shadow of the United States looks like? Europeans do not know the existence of Guantanamo, nor do they know that in the context of the independence of European countries and colonies, Cuba actually carries this kind of treaty that must be abolished by the United States.

France General Secretary Dorez was the first to stand up and strongly criticized the Americans' behavior, believing that this behavior of occupying other countries' ports is inconsistent with the anti-colonial and anti-national propaganda that the Americans have always claimed to be anti-colonial and expecting independence from all ethnic groups. In front of the French media's microphone, Dorez teased, "Americans criticized France for their efforts to preserve Algeria in public, and they also occupied Guantanamo, the best port in Cuba. Compared to oppressing a sovereign state, Algeria has been growing in the hands of France for a hundred years. It seems that we are more just. Where did the American media find a sense of moral superiority to criticize France? Don't they know the existence of Guantanamo?"

Later, the Italian Prime Minister and General Secretary Parimirotoriati also made a statement on behalf of Italy, "The Guantanamo issue shows that Cuba's request for help from the Soviet Union is justified. The United States should admit its mistake and believe that this matter is not difficult to solve. It is a colonial act!"
