Chapter 927 Central America Storm
"Increase investment and make Nicaragua surrender." This is the first thing Reagan did after returning to China. The United States cannot tolerate the appearance of a second Cuba under its nose. The attitude is important, and even if it is destroyed, it must achieve its goal.
This time, the Nicaraguan government forces, the leader of the Vietnamese military advisory group, began to attack the jungle areas in northern Nicaragua, and the opponent was the Nicaraguan Democratic Forces armed forces supported by the United States. Of course, all the anti-government armed forces in Nicaragua are supported by the United States, as long as they oppose the pro-Soviet government, it is fine.
The war began in May. The Vietnamese, who were also very familiar with the experience of jungle warfare, took over the command of the Nicaraguan government forces and the support of the Soviet Union. In the words of the head of the KGB in Latin America, "the restraint of restraint will only worsen the situation. The former dictatorial government caused the deaths of tens of thousands of ordinary people in half a year. If it were the revolutionary armed forces we supported, they had to worry about the so-called reputation, which was irresponsible for national security."
"Forests are alive. In jungle combat, ears are more important than glasses." Vietnamese military adviser taught righteously that in the eyes of Vietnamese, the Nicaragua war is like a security war that exists at any time. Its intensity is not high but will never stop. Tactical jungle warfare has affected the development of many high-tech weapons. Sometimes ears are more important than eyes in jungle. In jungle, your energy will be consumed by everything around you.
In jungle warfare, short weapons and automatic weapons are the main ones. A small number of long weapons are equipped with long weapons. The denser the formation, the safer it may be. In any case, contact with the collective is very important in combat. Identification of the enemy and us is also very important. Another point is that life security during jungle warfare is also very important, and food safety is for the physical security.
The biggest change that the Vietnamese brought to the Caraguan government forces in 2018 was the organizational strength of the government forces. This played a huge role in the prepared clearance. Under the command of the Vietnamese, the 20,000 Nicaraguan government forces entered the northern jungle and began to clear the armed forces of the Nicaraguan Democratic Forces.
If the Soviet Union sent its own country's advisers as commanders, it might not have played a great role as the Vietnamese. After all, the Soviet Union was a cold zone and there was no such combat environment at all. On the contrary, Vietnam and Nicaragua are both tropical countries, and Vietnamese soldiers have a lot of combat experience, which is also effective here.
For the Nicaraguan government forces, the biggest difficulty is not on the battlefield, but outside the battlefield. For example, the reason why the anti-government forces in northern Nicaragua were not cleaned up several times is because the northern neighbors are the pro-US military government of Garcia. The military government of Garcia cooperated with the US strategy and hosted the anti-government armed forces in Nicaragua was the reason why Nicaragua's political situation could not be stable.
By the time of the establishment of the Garcia military government, more than 130 coups have occurred in Honduras over the past 150 years since its independence. This news was immediately delivered to Rubiy Yangka by the local KGB intelligence officer, and then transferred to the Kremlin and handed over to the General Secretary Selov who had just returned.
"So?" Selov was silent for a moment and said softly, "Then let Cuba inform Cuba about the assessment of the revolutionary situation in Honduras. The Soviet Union believes that it needs to be revised. By the way, who is the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Honduras."
"It's Comrade Agabido and Robledo!" Ligachev next to him immediately spoke up and said that he knew better than Selov about the Communists around the world, who took over Suslov.
"General Secretary Agabido, General Secretary Robledo!" Selov said disrespectfully, "The fire of revolution is burning, not something that some countries can stop it if they want to stop it!" This shows that the Soviet Union decided to launch an operation on Honduras.
The medium used was Cuba, the leader of the Latin American armed revolution. Although the Cuban country was small, it was far more enthusiastic about exporting revolution than the Soviet Union, otherwise it would not have the nickname of the least hegemonic country. The military operation of the Cuban Expeditionary Force to cross the Atlantic Ocean to aid Angola has not ended to this day.
Cuba is a supporter of many communists in Latin America and has a huge influence, especially almost half of the Communist Party cadres in Central America have studied in Cuba. This force can be used by the Soviet Union, mainly because of Cuba's very special and important position in the Soviet camp.
The Soviet Union's opinions were soon delivered to Havana. For the support of the Latin American revolutionary cause, the Soviet Union has long believed in the policy of not provoking trouble. It is of course good to have pro-Soviet countries appear, and it is nothing if they don't. It's just that there are too many moves in Chile, and even Nicaragua, which is now fighting a civil war, has the main contribution of Cuba. It is only after Cuba has achieved results that the Soviet Union came to add icing on the cake.
The Castro brothers immediately called Selov to ask if it was time to promote the revolution. Moscow's call was also very simple. Among the small dictatorial countries in Central America, the War of Liberation is not an issue that cannot be considered. However, it is not suitable to consider the Barnabas issue at present.
The Malacca Strait is half the Soviet Union, and the Suez Canal is in the hands of the Soviet Union. The Barnabas Canal has not been affected by the Soviet Union at all. In addition to the reasons that the Soviet Union could not reach, the United States' reaction is also the main factor. Once the Barnabas Canal becomes the target of the Soviet Union, the United States may take action in person.
"Global game is like playing Go. We cannot just let the pro-Soviet government in Nicaragua suffer difficulties. If Reagan insists on doing this, we will force the United States to expose more benefits and lose more." Serov said in his call.
In the Cold War environment, it is not just the stage of the two major camps. Many third-world countries are also using this environment to seek benefits for their own countries. The Cold War also gave these small countries opportunities. For example, General Noriega, the ruler of Barnabas.
This Panamanian ruler has nothing to do with the Soviet Union. Strictly speaking, he is a member of the Soviet enemy camp. Like the current ruler of Ethiopia, he was once trained in the United States. He also participated in the Yuanpeng class on the fraud island and was a classmate with Gaddafi, but this person was also dissatisfied with the United States controlling the Panama Canal and wanted to reclaim the canal. There is no difference between Egypt's reclaiming the Suez Canal controlled by Britain and France, but his opponents are different.
Egypt faces Britain and France, which are already declining, and Barnabas faces the United States at its peak. Panama is far from Egypt's national strength. The only Soviet Union that can challenge the United States is too far from Central America.
But even so, the Cold War confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States still gave Noriega a chance to retake the Panama Canal. The peak of the Soviet Union's global offensive was also the year when the Nicaragua pro-Soviet government was established. Panama seemed to see hope, and Noriega also came to the forefront at that time. The Carter administration of the United States was forced to sign a treaty with the Panama government, agreeing to gradually return the canal to Panama and withdraw troops from Panama.
Selov concluded that Reagan would not recognize the treaty. Noriega had investigated many pro-Soviet guerrillas and betrayed them to the CIA, but as long as Noriega embarked on the road to anti-Americanism, the Soviet Union would definitely find a way to support him.
Because of the Nicaragua clearance operation, the American media once again called for support for the freedom fighters in Nicaragua. The Nicaragua civil war once again became the focus of the American people. This time there was another focus, the Vietnamese military advisory group commanding the Nicaraguan government forces.
The Vietnam War is an indelible shadow in the hearts of Americans. In any way, that war is a defeat, because South Vietnam has been destroyed, and the United States cannot even comfort it. The failure of the war gave the United States an unprecedented blow, and the subsequent Soviet global offensive almost overwhelmed the United States' self-confidence.
The US's self-confidence was restored only after Reagan came to power. The news that the Vietnamese military advisory group appeared in Nicaragua. Different supporters have different effects. Some people remembered the failure of the Vietnam War, while others wanted to retaliate. Most of the United States under Reagan were led by the latter.
Amidst the revengeful remarks, Reagan took the opportunity to support the Nicaraguan Democratic League more and more boldly. In the one-month war of clearance, the Nicaraguan government forces traveled almost every part of the northern jungle. The battles and boring combat life that could break out at any time were second. After all, the government forces have an overwhelming manpower advantage, but it is not a solution over time.
"Ltd Colonel Nguyen, if it weren't for the donations of money and materials from dozens of brother countries, Nicaragua would have been unable to support it now." The Cuban adviser was the Cuban adviser, who was responsible for communicating with Vietnam's military adviser. It was indeed unrealistic to let Vietnamese find so many soldiers who knew Spanish to come over.
"The Soviets who came to our country once said that tropical countries cannot starve to death." Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen smiled and felt the tropical rainforest in Nicaragua. "From natural conditions, tropical climate can indeed help us solve some of the problems."
At this moment, a rapid gunfire sounded, making the two people in the conversation alert at the same time. Vietnam's military advisers immediately issued a combat order, which was conveyed by the Cubans. An encounter in the depths of the jungle suddenly broke out.
Half an hour later, the jungle war ended, three government troops were killed and seven anti-government armed members were killed. The two walked to the site where the battle broke out and shook their heads secretly. They didn't know how long this kind of encounter would last. They always had to find a solution, "Please take away our soldiers' bodies and put the enemy here." The Cubans issued an order instead of military advisers.
Meanwhile, the communication between Havana and Moscow was coming to an end, and Moscow, who had fully listened to Cuba's opinions, allowed revolutionary attempts to take action to liberation, and an undercurrent began to gather from Central America.
