Chapter 626 defect to freedom

  After the Cuban Missile Crisis, the United States has always monitored Cuba, but Cuba itself does not have the power to threaten the United States. Although it is the second military power in Latin America except Brazil, it is still not on the same level as the United States. But this time the Castro brothers are ready to think otherwise.

This method is people. The Soviet Union sent all the dissidents from the entire Eastern Europe to Cuba. It was waiting for Cuba to make a trade-off. Now, Cuba has finished the trade-off. Since the United States has been trying to lure Cubans into smuggling, the Castro brothers will Prepare to play a big game, and send all the people in the Soviet Union here plus the people who are not needed in the country to Cuba.

For Cuba, which is in the tropics, you can do this anytime. The Soviet Union is very difficult to do this. If people fall into the sea this month, the temperature in the Bering Strait is enough to freeze people to death within ten minutes. .

While Nixon expounded his two-pillar strategy in Saudi Arabia, Cuban Marel and major ports in the north, one after another of different sizes, but all the old ships that were aided by the Soviet Union to Cuba raised the Cuban flag one after another. There are six or seven hundred ships, and although they are not new, they are by no means **** that will sink halfway.

  At ten o’clock in the evening in the western hemisphere, all major ports were under martial law. The Cuban armed forces escorted these people to the ship. Many ports were ordered not to come out at night. There was enough food for a week to be sent to the ship. Even with strict preparations, Cuba does not have the ability to complete the smuggling in one day, so the Havana authorities decided to use the night to send people to the boat first, and then the next day to strictly order the people who boarded the boat not to come down, and so on until everything was done. Prepare.

Early the next morning, when people go to work, they will find that there are more ships in various ports, but they can never imagine that they are full of people who want to smuggle. When these people were sent to the ship, the soldiers had already told the people on the ship in some languages ​​such as Russian and German that they would be sent to the United States. Those inmates on that land will not continue serving their sentences, which is good news for the vast majority of people.

   This news has played a role in stabilizing the crowd. In the past few years in Cuba, they have been informed of the situation in the United States. Of course, it is relatively one-sided. In the eyes of these people, the United States is paradise. In fact, the United States also knows that there are Eastern Europeans in Cuba, because some people have escaped from Cuba and have successfully smuggled in before, telling the Americans about the situation of this special group.

  The number of prisoners who have escaped from Cuba has been about a hundred over the years, which is not a large number for the whole group. These people have been taken care of by the United States. They need the existence of such an example as a basis for the Cold War. The reason for the US government to gain support for confrontation, under the dissemination of some media, many people in the United States know such a group of poor people on the island of Cuba.

“You don’t need to serve your sentence right away. Since we are so disgusted with socialism, then go to the United States, where capitalism is the most powerful, where you can get the life you want.” This kind of speech stabilized people When he was suddenly brought onto the boat, there was some commotion in the crowd, which stemmed from the fear of the unknown. Furthermore, they are Eastern Europeans. During the World War more than 20 years ago, the Third Reich invented many strange ways to deal with them. At first, some people thought that the Cubans were going to sink them to the bottom of the sea.

   This kind of behavior was calm during the day, but the behavior of stuffing people into the ship at night lasted for a week. During this process, the Cuban armed forces showed great discipline. It can be said that all the talents of Cuba’s planned economy are deploying this matter.

The    corner building is located in the town of Arlington on the Potomac River near Washington, USA, and is the seat of the United States Department of Defense. Viewed from the air, the building is in the shape of a regular pentagon, hence the name Pentagon. The Department of Defense established by President Truman began to work here. Since then, the Pentagon has become the name of the US Department of Defense. In addition to the Ministry of National Defense organs, the building also includes the subordinate Joint Chiefs of Staff and the three headquarters of the army, navy and air force.

   “There seems to be some movement in Cuba recently. Our spy satellites show that there seem to be more ships in some ports. Will something happen?” In the Pentagon, an agent who was observing satellite photos said while watching.

“What will happen? Is the Soviet Union preparing to deploy nuclear missiles for the second time? There are some fishing boats and old freighters. Are they full of atomic bombs ready to attack us? Don’t be stupid, the Soviet atomic bombs have long been unnecessary. I did, do you think it was still 20 years ago?” Another older detective said haha, when the Soviet atomic bomb just succeeded, because there were no means of delivery, major ports in the United States were strictly investigating the arrival of the Soviet Union for a period of time. cargo ship, fearful of detonating in port with an atomic bomb on it. But like he said, it was more than 20 years ago, and thinking about it now can only make people laugh.

   Think about it too, how could Cuba have the ability to land in the United States? However, there have been a lot of ships in Cuban ports recently. Detectives at the beginning began to feel that the matter should be reported.

“Starting this evening, open all the ports in the north facing the United States and send them to the United States. None of these people is what Cuba needs. Our country does not need such people.” Castro took the cigar from the corner of his mouth. , gave the order to open the port.

At one o’clock in the evening in the western hemisphere, Cuban soldiers disembarked on all the ships flying the Cuban flag in the major ports in northern Cuba. Taken in by the Americans, this fleet no less than the Normandy landing is about to set off. More than 600 ships of various types are full of prisoners who are going to the United States. Except for the minors who did not board the ships, there are about 900,000 people, plus more than 120,000 people from Cuba themselves, a proper one million. army.

  In the eyes of the Cuban soldiers, these ships slowly left the port. The prisoners’ own crews were on these ships. The Caribbean Sea has been calm these days. As long as it keeps heading north, it will not be lost or hit a rock.

  In Florida, the United States has a giant radar to monitor the movement of the sea. This is a radar station established after Cuba fell to the Soviet Union. He will shoulder the role of preventing the Soviet Union from using Cuba to attack the United States. Under normal circumstances, he is used to monitor the sea surface of the Caribbean Sea. The radar station can often see the signal of smuggling to the United States on the sea surface, but the US government welcomes this matter, and the staff of these radar stations cannot say anything.

   Today was the same as usual, but suddenly the radar showed a signal that Cuba was getting closer and closer. According to the usual thinking, people thought it was a ship of Cuban stowaways, but immediately everyone’s expressions changed. There are more and more signal sources above, one, ten, one hundred. The dense signal sources above shocked all the staff of the radar station.

   “Did the Soviets carry out amphibious landings on us?” Seeing this situation, a lieutenant gasped and muttered to himself. Everyone couldn’t believe what they saw today, and a few people thought that the radar had malfunctioned, and they should investigate immediately and find the place to fix the malfunction. In the mess, they didn’t report the situation until half an hour later.

   After reporting layer by layer, the Pentagon responded quickly. At this time, the fleet had entered the side of the US territorial waters, less than 60 kilometers away from the US coastline.

   The Seventh Defense District of the US Coast Guard quickly received an order and sent a speedboat to the waters where the accident occurred to observe the situation. It is always early in the tropics, and when the U.S. Coast Guard speedboats arrive in front of these ships, they are stunned by the sight in front of them. These Cuban-flagged ships were crowded with people, all civilians, crowding on the deck and waving to the speedboats coming from the United States.

But it can be concluded that there are no soldiers on it. The guard team member on a speedboat swallowed hard and said, “According to the policy, are we going to accept this batch of Cuban exiles?” They couldn’t tell if these people were Cubans, and besides, there were white people in Cuba, and he didn’t know who these Cuban-flagged boats were.

“It seems yes, who made this idiot-like policy, we must report it immediately.” After dawn, the armed helicopters and reconnaissance planes dispatched from the Caribbean Sea completely saw this group of ships, which can be said to be huge, from The major ports in northern Cuba are heading towards the United States. The latest fleet has just left the port, and the earliest ships have already reached the coastline of the United States.

“My God, there are at least 20,000 to 300,000 people here.” The American pilot who was reconnaissance in the air reported to the top with a painful expression on his face, “I really want to sink these ships, they will be destroyed when they arrive in the United States. here.”

At this time, the U.S. Coast Guard did not know how to show goodwill at sea, and even in the Pentagon, the generals of the major military services did not know what to do. If the enemy invaded, it would be right to fight, but the opponent is a civilian, if all of them are sunk If so, the world’s spit will drown Americans.

After getting up in the morning, Castro began to make a public speech to the country, “For some people who don’t like to stay in Cuba, it’s not necessary to force them, and we don’t need them. We don’t need these people who are dissatisfied with our country. People, since Americans want these people, I can give these people to Americans.”

Two hours later, the whole world knew that Cuba had planned this huge smuggling incident against the United States. For a time, the whole world was in an uproar. Nixon, who had just returned to Washington, had just ended his trip to the Middle East, and he ran into this again. Tough question. (To be continued~^~)
