Chapter 341 The border war begins
While TASS was commenting on the editorial, Soviet Foreign Minister Andre Gromiko sternly accused the United States of its blockade policy with a word, warning very coldly, "Americans seem to have no idea what kind of opponent they are facing. If their colonial stance on Cuba is not over, the Soviet Union will not retreat for a day!"
As we all know, the strongest part of the Soviet Union lies in the ground power. The Americans mobilized military forces from all over the country to set up a formation at their doorsteps, which would put European countries in the independent face the Soviet Union. Even Europeans with confidence had no interest in using their bodies to catch the rollers. The Soviet Union was more than ten times stronger than Emperor and Russia. However, Europe no longer had world-class powers like Britain and France.
The French have a kind of confidence. According to Serov's judgment, this confidence is second only to Poland in Europe. The proud French are different from Britain. Giving up colonies is just a stopgap measure to face the strong pressure of the United States and the Soviet Union. Unlike Britain's admit defeat, France only nominally gave up its own colonies. In fact, it is still the same as the emperor in the original independent colonies. The capitals of many West African countries do not navigate to each other, but they have flights connected to Paris, and the currency is francs. You can tell who issued it when you hear this name.
The greatest reliance on these colonies disguised as independent countries is the French foreign corps. The French are unwilling to give up against those unimportant colonies, let alone Algeria, which is so close. As long as there is a little solution, the French will not hold Algeria's hand to let go.
The statements of France and Italy have made the unknown Guantanamo issue in Europe leak into the sight of ordinary people. Many things existed, but people didn't notice them. Just like people starved to death every day in the world, but Europeans don't know that earthquakes occurred in Europe and Southeast Asia at the same time. No one cared about the earthquakes in Southeast Asia. Europe and Africa were attacked at the same time, and three people died in Europe. Three hundred people died in Africa, and no media reported on the situation in Africa.
The right to speak is real, and people do have classes. It is not that the United States and the Soviet Union triggered the Cuban missile crisis this time, and no one knew that Cuba’s best port has always been in the hands of Americans. The outbreak of the Guantanamo issue only exposed one of the many inequality problems in the world.
Anti-coloniality, what a great call. The United States and the Soviet Union stood together during the Suez Canal War and attacked the two old imperialist countries of Britain and France. In the end, Britain simply gave in and France took retreat as a step forward. As a result, the Americans were still forcibly renting Guantanamo. The comparison between the front and the back was quite interesting.
At this time, the **s in European countries played a role. Parties represented by Italy, France, and Greece expressed their opinions, pointing out that the United States' attempt to invade Cuba was the cause of the Cuban missile crisis. This voice is still numerous, anti-colonialism, which sounds like these parties are full of blood. What a high-profile reason.
The results of Selov's control of Poland and Hungary events will be harvested today. The Soviet Union did not send troops that time, so there would be no such negative impact. Until today, the voices in Europe are still very strong. It is better to have a sound than not.
Italy's statement was expected. Italy had always hoped that all colonies would be independent so that their products could be launched. Although the French were not clean, no one expected the turn of the road as the leader of Charles de Gaulle, who was the leader of his personality. This certainly did not mean that France would stand with the Soviet Union. It was just that the French found an opportunity to disgust the Americans.
This made the statements of Britain and the Federal Republic of Germany quite embarrassing. At least, it was thought that the French would at least stand with him, but because of the outbreak of the Guantanamo issue, the two countries had already expressed their views. As a politician, he had to have a thick-skinned attitude, and soon re-expressed his attitude towards this matter, but at the end, he added, "Since the matter is because of the United States' hostility to Cuba, he can return Guantanamo to Cuba to resolve this conflict..."
The topic of anti-colonialism has become politically correct. At least in Europe, it does believe that Britain and France cannot tell their citizens that it was because the United States and the Soviet Union suppressed themselves and gave up the colony, so they had to find an excuse. So giving up the colony became the right choice. At least in the past few years they have told their citizens this way.
After the statements of Western European countries ended, Eastern Europe was immediately unwilling to be outdone. Democratic Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, and even Yugoslavia and Albania expressed strong support for the Soviet Union's actions. Of course, these countries also knew that the purpose of the Soviet Union was impure, and they were definitely not idle and ran to Cuba to uphold justice. But again, the anti-colonial banner, no socialist country dared not to support it, and raised morality to such a high level of socialist country. This kind of mistake cannot be made.
Selov, who had all the statements from various countries in the evening, almost laughed out loud. For the first time, he felt that he was so clever. This was definitely a ten-year sword. He began to consider this issue since the Soviet Union woke up. How to make the Soviet Union occupy the moral commanding heights in the Cuban missile crisis? The idea that he came up with after ten years finally came in handy today.
He really wanted to have a cup of vodka for his idea. The facts proved that the reason for anti-coloniality was really useful. Of course, he would never deceive the Americans. The Kennedy administration naturally knew that the Soviet Union was not looking for this at all. He could even speculate that the US government now pointed out that it must be the deployment of missiles by the United States in Türkiye and the Federal Republic of Germany, which was the reason for the outbreak of this Cuban missile crisis.
In the empty environment of his office, Selov naturally let go of all his constraints and praised himself without hesitation. But at this moment, the phone on the table rang, making Selov, who was still unsatisfied, pick up the phone with regret. "First Vice Chairman, China and India are fighting..." The voice of Kudriash, the commander of the Central Asian Border Defense Force, came from the phone.
"I know, it should be very stalemate in the first two days. Keep monitoring!" Selov breathed a sigh of relief and put down the phone.
Five minutes later, the phone on the table rang again. Selov picked up the phone and said several times in a row, then left No. 11, Ruby Yangka Square and drove to the Kremlin.
"You are the eyes of the alliance. As you said, the Chinese perfectly used the confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States and took military action. They have now fought on the Sino-Indian border." Khrushchev rubbed his eyes very tiredly. This full-scale confrontation with the United States made him feel very tired. For the old man who is nearly seventy years old, it is not easy to work, but he still has to persist because there is no strong heir yet. In fact, he is not dissatisfied with Kozlov, but he is not disgusted with it.
"Talk about this issue. The beginning of the Sino-Indian war proves your judgment!" Khrushchev also showed China's support for the Soviet Union during this Cuban missile crisis. As part of the socialist camp, as soon as the news of the United States blockade of Cuba came out, the Chinese government solemnly stated: firmly support Cuba and oppose the US war provocation. "No matter what kind of storm, 650 million Chinese people will always stand with the Cuban people, firmly support the Cuban revolution, unite, and fight to the end for the war and aggression policy against US imperialism." Regarding the nuclear blackmail by the United States, the Chinese government reiterated its famous statement that "the atomic bomb is a paper tiger."
He handed the document of support to Selov, and Khrushchev asked, "What do you think, this is a great time!"
"China is using our confrontation with the United States to make profits. The worst thing is that we cannot refute them during the confrontation time!" Selov spent a little time reading the editorial above. From the perspective of the Soviet Union, China's statement was obviously a look of watching the fun and not being too serious. Especially now that the border war has begun, this statement further reflects the perfunctory attitude of the Soviet Union. There is also the idea of the Soviet Union and the United States fighting for a period of time in their subconscious mind.
"The relationship between these two countries is not good, and even a deep blood hatred, it cannot be said to be a bad thing." Selov said with a feeling that everything is under control. "China's potential and India's potential are not small. If they are united, the role of the Soviet Union will be greatly reduced. Of course, I can speculate on the current war. First of all, India is likely to suffer a collapsed defeat. I have been to India half a year ago and know the weakness of this country. They will definitely lose!"
"Don't you even have a chance to lose better?" Khrushchev asked his own question again.
"No, unless we send troops to rescue, all disputed areas will be occupied by China! Besides, we don't have free time. The main job of the alliance is to act in Cuba." Shelov said simply, "In fact, we can threaten the United States in negotiations, because in the eyes of Americans, China and the Soviet Union are the same, they are both hateful people. We can pretend that we are still close to China, and at least we can pretend for a while during negotiations..."
