Chapter 625 two-pillar strategy
From the letter, it doesn’t seem like a big deal, but the information inside is not as simple as it seems. The U.S. policy in Cuba is to accept Cuban refugees unconditionally. The prisoners of the Soviet bloc in Cuba are definitely not included in this scope. Once these people become Cuban nationals, it means what Serov and Castro said a long time ago. has worked. The Castro brothers are ready to use this group of people to give the United States a counterattack.
Not long after, Raul Castro in Havana received a reply from Serov. I didn’t say anything above, I just said that I don’t mind these people becoming Cuban nationals, which means to clear my relationship with this matter. At the same time, he said some words about safety in some obscure places, tacitly acknowledging the fact that these people are already Cubans, and the obvious meaning is that you can deal with these people at will.
“I have already contacted Comrade Serov, a member of the Central Presidium of the Soviet Union. He has acquiesced to the fact that these people have become Cuban nationals. We can send these people to the United States as planned.” Raul Castro quickly put this The incident was told to his brother, indicating that he would not be stopped by the Soviet Union. Of course, the Soviet Union will not stop it. This was first proposed by Serov, but the Soviet Union has not mentioned it again in recent years. On the contrary, the Cuban side has been considering this issue.
The Soviet Union, GDR, Poland, Romania and other Warsaw Pact countries have exactly one million prisoners in Cuba. Among these people are schizophrenics, prisoners, and some religious and intellectuals. The intellectuals are mainly from other countries except the Soviet Union. Serov is not too embarrassed to attack the intellectuals of the Soviet Union, but it does not delay him to clean up these disobedient people with the internal affairs ministries of other countries, and they are all sent. to Cuba for labor reform.
“If Che Guevara was there, he would definitely agree with our decision.” Raul Castro saw that his brother was still hesitating, and further mentioned their other comrade-in-arms. Che Guevara died in Bolivia. Che Guevara is a very important friend for the two brothers. Although there were differences later, Castro still liked this friend very much. After Che Guevara was arrested, he also wanted to rescue him, but in the end he was unable to save his comrade-in-arms.
“Well, like Sheloff said, be safe, get these people to America, open up all the ports including Mariel, provide all the ships on the coast, wait for the right time to send them off. All ships fly our flag so that the U.S. government will not intercept them.” Castro sighed and made up his mind, “Sherov obviously doesn’t want to take this responsibility, so we will directly admit that this is our unilateral decision. , I believe he will find an opportunity to compensate us in the future. Gather the mentally ill and criminals in our country, and send them away this time, so don’t hold back our country in the future…”
After the victory of the Cuban Revolutionary War, the United States has been embargoing and sanctioning Cuba, embargoing and subverting Cuba, trying to overthrow the Cuban regime and establish a pro-American regime. At the same time, Cubans are constantly tempted to flee Cuba, smear Cuba against the world, train Cuban anti-government figures, recruit mercenaries, and hope to discredit the Cuban regime. Americans also provided political asylum for Cuban rioters, which made a large number of people flee to Florida after the victory of the Cuban Revolution. Every year, 100,000 Cubans come to Miami from Havana through various means. These people are the most qualified people in Cuba, including intellectuals, doctors and skilled workers.
The country lacks 100,000 people every year, which has a very negative impact on Cuba. Therefore, Castro has often remembered what Serov said when he came to Cuba in recent years, and his mood to counter the United States through an action has become more and more urgent. If it weren’t for Serov, Castro would have thought of this issue sooner or later, but someone reminded him, but the historical Mariel smuggling incident was staged ten years earlier, and the scale was also expanded tenfold.
Castro let his younger brother still secretly plan the operation, of course, this also requires the cooperation of one person. Serov asked Zinev to rotate the KGB’s intelligence personnel in Cuba, to a certain extent, relax the surveillance of Cuba. As an enforcer, this time the KGB had to open a hole and let Castro play freely.
“Miami will become an Eastern European city in the future, how exciting to think about it, I finally sent the law thieves group in the Soviet Union to the United States, and the Soviet mafia that ran rampant in the world will no longer exist, and the gangs in the United States will Welcome to the new blood, Americans don’t thank me, after all, you are the hope of mankind.” Serov, who did not know this, drew the straight-line distance between Cuba and Miami on the map, feeling that the world is so wonderful.
At that time, the sharp increase in crime rate in Miami is only a trivial matter. You must know that among the more than one million people, many people can be bought. After these people arrive in the United States, they will not do anything. Intellectuals will find that the United States is not the same. Heaven, religious people can spread the teachings of peace in the United States. As for those criminals, they will do whatever they break the law. The United States can’t help guns, and I believe that the ancestors of these Mafia must develop faster in the United States than in the Soviet Union.
The KGB has already prepared some necessary conditions, such as storing a lot of scrapped ships in Cuba, and there are enough lifebuoys for each person. As long as Cuba decides to do this, there is definitely no need to worry about the problem of insufficient ships.
“These people have been detained by me for almost ten years. This time, I will compensate you and send you to a free country.” Cuba’s ability to do this on its own initiative also means that it has saved the Soviet Union a huge trouble. In the eyes of the Soviet Union, these people have long been out of sight and out of mind, and they wish they would never come back in Cuba.
Soon the opportunity came. While Castro was making relevant preparations, U.S. President Nick visited Iran and was warmly welcomed by Iranian Shah Pahlavi in Tehran. The two sides reaffirmed the traditional friendly relationship between the United States and Iran. The United States also cherishes Iran as an ally, and expects Iran to play a greater role and play a more important role in the situation in the Middle East.
Pahlavi is at a critical moment in the White Revolution, and Iran is still in a period of healthy development. For the ambitious Pahlavi at this time, he needs someone to recognize his achievements, and no one is more suitable than the president of the United States. And Nixon just needed the power of Iran. If the United States still insisted on the attack of the Soviet Union, it would definitely drag down its own domestic economy. This is a fact recognized within the United States, but the United States cannot run away quickly and silently. To hold back the Soviet Union by building a defense system and give yourself a chance to breathe.
What does the United States want Iran to do? First, to contain the Soviet Union; second, to ensure the interests of Western oil companies in Iran. For the first requirement, Pahlavi has done a good job. For the Soviet Union’s neighbors, the threat of the Soviet Union does not need anyone to emphasize. But for the second point, Pahlavi has his own abacus.
As a leader of a country, Pahlavi was first and foremost a nationalist. Pahlavi even held a celebration of the 2,500th anniversary of the founding of the Persian Empire during his tenure. As a Persian, he was deeply proud. However, in the eyes of the Iranian people, no matter how high-profile he declares the greatness of the Persians, it cannot change the fact that he is a puppet propped up by the United States.
In his speech at the Royal Palace of Iran, Nixon expressed his first position on the importance of Iran, saying, “We believe that Iran under the rule of Shah Pahlavi can completely replace the role of the United States and become the maker of the rules of the Persian Gulf. We will work with Iran Establishing an equal relationship, we in the United States are friends of Iran and will support Iran to become a great power in the world.”
Later, in a private meeting, Nixon said that Iran is no less important to the United States than Israel. And it will soon provide a batch of military aid to Iran to help Iran become a military power in the Middle East.
“After the British retreat, Iran can completely replace the British defense force and contribute to the stabilization of the Middle East.” Pahlavi also expressed his thoughts. He hoped that Iran would replace the British military vacuum and become the police of the Persian Gulf.
Nixon agreed that, with the UK already doomed to leave, it would be best for Iran to fill the vacuum.
Nixon had already thought about the strategic fulcrum of the United States in the Middle East at this time. In the face of the general pro-Soviet situation of the military powers in the Middle East, Nixon pinned his hopes on Iran, using Saudi oil to stimulate the economy and using Iranian military power to protect Saudi Arabia, to protect the interests of the United States, this is the two-pillar strategy, as the cornerstone of stability in the Middle East.
He didn’t know that Moscow had decided that as long as the Iraqi Communist Party brought the country under control, the Soviet Union would provide military assistance to Syria, Iraq and Egypt to complete its triangular strategy. In this way, in terms of military power, the Soviet Union still has a certain advantage. The United States has only Turkey and Iran. As for Saudi Arabia’s combat effectiveness, it is negligible, but Turkey and Iran both border the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union’s advantage is geographical advantage. .
Nixon’s trip to the Middle East was mainly to establish a network to defend against the Soviet Union. The United States has three networks to contain the Soviet Union. One is NATO in Europe, which is the most important one. The remaining two organizations are one in Southeast Asia and one in the Middle East. But they are all incomplete organizations. Southeast Asia lacks Indonesia, and the Middle East lacks Iraq. There are loopholes in such defense organizations. Nixon could only do his best to make up for it.
Taking advantage of Nixon’s visit, the Castro brothers have completed all the preparations in Cuba. When Nixon arrived in Saudi Arabia, the brothers decided to act. (To be continued~^~)
