Chapter 346: Going to Cuba
"Yura, don't you go back and say hello to Valia?" Sherepin and Sherev came out of the Kremlin and took a walk outside late at night. The inside was discussing the name given to Sherev this time to let him go to America.
"No need, she will worry. Now the whole world knows that we are confronting the United States in Cuba, and I don't want to see women crying." He took a deep breath and popped out the cigarette butt in his hand. This is inside the Kremlin, but no one came to ask Selov to pay the fine. Selov, who felt much clearer in his mind, looked at his boss and asked, "Where is Selov? He is actually more qualified to be on the front line than me..."
"He has no diplomatic experience!" Xie Lieping also had a headache when he spoke. He wanted to give this opportunity to Xie Michasne, but when discussing, even Xie Michasne himself had no confidence. If he had no confidence, he would have nothing. When is this time? The people sent out at this time cannot be a little timid. How could Xie Michasne behave like the top leader of a powerful department?
This is the first time that Xie Lieping thought it would be better to find an appropriate time to let Semichasne go to the government to work. It would be better for the KGB department to let Selov take charge, not to mention that this was what Khrushchev meant.
"The country has a lot of expectations for me!" Selov smiled bitterly, "I ran to Tashkent, and I actually asked me to come back by plane. I don't know what I was mainly doing when I went abroad this time? I asked me to go to the United Nations General Assembly to debate? I did work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but didn't I make a mistake at that time? I was a security cadre from beginning to end..."
"If you can successfully solve this problem, I believe there will be no obstacles to your progress!" Xie Lieping also saw that his assistant lacked confidence. It seemed that Xie Michasne was not isolated. With the tense atmosphere in the Caribbean at this time, it really made me feel a little frightened.
Why didn't there be? Didn't Brezhnev sit in the position of the Central Presidium? Of course, his boss looks down on him so much, and Selov must comfort himself from the side. Drink chicken soup when he should. During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union had a direct confrontation. It was also a blessing to participate.
"In accordance with the spirit of the Central Bureau of Defense, Comrade Yuriyefimovic Selov was appointed as the deputy commander of the Cuban cluster, and General Puliev jointly commanded the operations of the Cuban cluster. At the same time, as the Soviet Union's representative, he was responsible for negotiating with the United States with Comrade Dobrenin!"
"I am willing to exert all my strength as much as possible so that the Soviets can get what they want from this crisis!" Selov looked up slightly and saluted to the members of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union. "I promise to complete this mission with a mortal attitude. When needed, I am willing to die in Cuba..."
"The central government will not let you die in Cuba in battle. What we want is the completion of the mission. Once the United States invades Cuba, this is a global war!" Kozlov solemnly assured, "Capitalists are not afraid of death, there is no reason we will be afraid!"
"I understand!" Selov stood at a glance and saluted all the members of the Central Presidium and lifted his legs and left the Kremlin.
"Can Selov complete this task?" Kirilenko, the first secretary of the Dnepropetrovsk Prefectural Committee, asked with some confidence. This sentence was harshly looked at by Brezhnev as soon as he asked.
"From Selov's experience in handling related incidents over the past ten years, if he doesn't handle it well this time, we may not be able to find another security cadre with greater ability to handle it well!" Selopin looked at Aristov indifferently. Aristov is an alternate member of the Central Presidium. Selopin is also an alternate member, but this does not mean that Selopin cares about Aristov. With Selopin's character, he thinks he is on an equal footing with Brezhnev, let alone Aristov who is caring for Brezhnev? In his opinion, without Brezhnev's recommendation, how could this state party secretary enter the central government? He can still be the chairman of the Russian Supreme Soviet?
This is because Serepin's estimate is wrong. In fact, Aristov and Brezhnev are really a simple superior-level relationship. The two are not a group that Serepin believes, and Kirirenko, who Brezhnev trusts the most, is not here.
After appointing Selov as deputy commander of the Cuban cluster, Khrushchev felt that he should be buying up some time, so he wrote a letter to US President Kennedy, ""Sir, you are not announcing the implementation of quarantine, but are issuing an ultimatum that threatens to use force to deal with us if we do not succumb to your request. Think about what you are saying! In this way, you still want to convince me to agree! What does it mean to agree to these requests? This will mean that dealing with other countries is not by reasoning, but by obeying over domineering behavior. You do not ask the reason, but just want to intimidate us."
After sending this pretty normal letter, Khrushchev signed his name on the next document without hesitation. This was a first-level combat readiness application sent by the Ministry of National Defense. Ten days after the Cuban missile crisis began, the Soviet Union directly announced to the outside world that it would raise the level of combat readiness to the first level. All members of the Warsaw Pact expressed support and issued first-level combat readiness orders for their armed forces. For a time, Western European countries were stunned by the actions of the Soviet Union and the entire Eastern European countries. Newspapers from various countries expressed their opinions, asking the United States not to confront Europe because of Cuba's voices, and there were also voices who advocated issuing first-level combat readiness orders to confront, and more were concerned about the demise of mankind.
"I may open the door to peace when I go to the United States, or find the key to hell. The final result depends entirely on the Americans' choice!" At the press conference that announced Selov's appointment report, Selov said expressionlessly in front of these journalists from all over the world.
"General Selov, isn't the Soviet Union's actions going to provoke a world war? It's just an island country, is it worth it? The Soviet Union is ready to destroy the earth?" asked a British reporter.
"Is it the Soviet Union provoking or protecting them at the request of the Cuban people? This question is very important. Since you have doubts about this, how dare you follow me to Cuba?" Shelov stared at the reporter's eyes, with an aggressive look in his eyes. "Didn't your journalist industry always claim to be upholding the truth? Do you dare to take a risk? Go to the front line of confrontation with me to see how the Cuban people view this matter?"
"Are there any reporters who dare to go to Cuba? Stand out?" Selov stood up and slapped the table and shouted.
This attitude of treating the journalist industry as a piece of feces angered many reporters present, and they stood up for a moment to protest, "I asked if there are any reporters who dare to go to Cuba with me? You didn't understand the problem..."
"Yes, our reporters certainly dare to take risks in order to pursue the truth of the matter!" Immediately, reporters jumped out to respond to the arrogant Soviet general.
"Okay, all the truth is for you to dig out!" Selov waved his hand, "Let me see how many journalists in Europe are not afraid of death. You dare to go to Cuba, I admire you!"
Very successful. Sherov looked at these excited reporters and gave a satisfactory evaluation of his actions. He appointed a commander or deputy to a cluster, and of course there was no need to hold a press conference. But the problem is that Cuba is now blocked by the US sea and air, and he may be killed by the US Air Force in the past when he took a plane. Sherov could not enter, and he could not take office. If he couldn't take office, he would talk about deputy commander and decorations? This problem also troubled everyone, including Khrushchev, so Sherov held such a press conference, looking for opportunities to scold these reporters for being worthless, provoking these reporters to not go to Cuba, and finding a batch of meat shields for himself. It seems very successful at present.
Regarding the journalist industry, especially Western war correspondents, the KGB's attitude is to kill one if it can kill one, especially the places where the Soviet Union and the United States compete fiercely, which are usually the most severely killed in Western war correspondents. But now, as the first vice president of the KGB, Selov has temporarily discovered the valuable places of these people. He wants to use these Western journalists to tie them to himself and enter Cuba.
The huge Tu 114 passenger plane rose from the ground in Moscow and landed in Rome shortly after a long time. Italian Prime Minister Parimirotoriati agreed to let the Tu 114 passenger plane land. It claimed to be the Italian government willing to make its own efforts for the communication between the United States and the Soviet Union, borrowing the incident of the Cuban missile crisis. This leader, who has been in power for more than eight years, continued to show his presence. This behavior is very annoying, especially the French General Secretary Dorez hates this behavior even more. They are also representatives of European **, and the Italian ** is becoming more and more like a leader, which makes the French very upset.
When the Tu114 passenger plane was staying in Rome, there were many more reporters in the cabin when it took off again. In addition to the dozens of agents brought by Selov, the passenger plane that could be loaded with 200 people was already full. At this time, Selov had a sense of security, and some protection from the flesh shield, and I believe he could go to Cuba to take office safely.
"What a pity, this little guy is very alert, otherwise we can create an air crash to test the Soviet Union's attitude and force the Soviets to retreat!" At the National Security Council meeting held at the White House, FBI Director Hoover said to Kennedy and the people around him with regret. "There are now hundreds of reporters on it. The opportunity to shoot down this passenger has put us in huge public opinion pressure. The public opinion we just regained will instantly turn into nothingness!"
