Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 760: Cuban Volunteers
"Can you chew it down?" Tikunov didn't leave during this process, and asked when Serov finished making arrangements.
"It's not easy, but we have to respond, otherwise we will lose any prestige. South Africa has just cut off diplomatic relations with us, and I will fight to death for him." Shelov was never ready to take a step back, he clearly knew that southern Africa would Offset some of the Soviet Union's national strength advantages, but still have to do it, the Soviet Union cannot retreat.
The war broke out suddenly, but compared with history, the An People’s Movement was not surprised, but took corresponding countermeasures to counterattack in an instant. At the United Nations General Assembly, the United States and the Soviet Union disagreed, and Cuba and South Africa fought tit-for-tat. The United States accused the Soviet Union of using Cuba as a thug to support the puppet regime, while the Soviet Union pointed out South Africa's racial policy and believed that South Africa was confident because the United States was behind it. America itself is a racist country, a type of country like South Africa.
This kind of accusation is of course refuted by the United States mercilessly, but because South Africa draws hatred around the United States, many African countries do not believe this kind of defense from the United States. The United States has only just begun to advocate racial equality, but it is speaking on the side of South Africa on the matter of Angola. Although Uncle Black is a bit stupid, he is still a certain distance from idiots.
"I hope that the peace-loving people of the world will be wary of the aggressive expansionary policies of the Soviet Union." The US ambassador to the United Nations shouted hoarsely.
"Compared to the United States, which fought the Korean War and the Vietnam War in a row, the Soviet Union can be called a peace-loving country." The Soviet ambassador to the United Nations, Troyanlovsky, countered blankly.
In this debate, because the United States and the Soviet Union have completely opposite opinions, it is no surprise that no resolution has been made. It is basically impossible to expect to use the United Nations to confront each other, and both sides understand this. Both the United States and the Soviet Union understand that a battle on the battlefield is imperative, and they use guns to tell each other, who has the final say in this broken ball.
Both sides are gearing up for the battle, taking Angola as the battlefield to see who should represent the truth. Diplomats from the two countries began to search for supporters. Soviet diplomats began to visit African countries to win over neighboring countries to support the Angola Movement. The United States focused on South Africa and Zimbabwe to persuade them to support UNITA.
However, the Soviet Union received support from Eastern Europe very quickly, and the United States received support from Western Europe at a standstill, because Western European countries are more eager to solve this economic crisis than Africa. If you want to get support, it's okay, let's finish the G7 meeting first.
"I have always believed that our country is far more decisive than the political structure of the United States. This is also the guarantee that our motherland has been from weak to strong along the way. Therefore, I suggest to immediately carry out the Anren Movement. Support, defeat the opposition as quickly as possible, and incorporate it into our economic system." Serov raised his hand first, suggesting immediate intervention in the Angolan civil war.
"The sooner things are, the better. Whoever takes the initiative first will control the initiative. I agree with Yura's opinion." Central Secretary Ustinov raised his hand in approval, "Once there is interference, we must immediately increase our efforts, and we must not let the opponent. react."
"I have already contacted many parties in neighboring countries. It seems that most of the neighboring countries support Angola and oppose South Africa. Of course, the Democratic Republic of Congo is in a civil war, and no statistics are made. Zambia's attitude is vague, and Nigeria supports us very much. Against South Africa, Mozambique is definitely on our side, but these countries have opponents of varying sizes, and I hope comrades will be vigilant." Andropov spoke slowly, introducing the situation around Angola.
The most notable thing here is Nigeria. The influence of Nigeria, the heart of Africa, can almost directly affect the entire African continent. Therefore, after the founding of the country, Nigeria has also become a battlefield for all parties to compete. Nigeria's founding father, Azikwe, is a very senior cent. The process of Nigeria's independence was full of calculations. Because if Nigeria suddenly became independent, then the power of the Soviet Union would enter. Rather than saying that Nigeria is transitioning from the hands of the United Kingdom, it is better to understand that the land of Nigeria is transitioning from the hands of the United Kingdom to the hands of the Americans. On the other hand, Archikwe is a cent, and in order to ensure the success of the plan, an independent plan has been specially formulated.
But countries that rashly believe in the experience of the United States are relatively miserable. Currently, Nigeria is ruled by a military government. This general is called Murtala. However, although he got up early and was supported by Britain and the United States, he was a proper nationalist and was quite disgusted with Britain and France. As far as the Soviet Union is concerned, as long as you are anti-American, you are my friend, which is definitely not a problem.
Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, and there is no shortage of resources. The reason why it is leaning towards the Soviet Union this time is definitely not how much this country loves the Soviet Union, but simply hates South Africa. Nigeria, which considers itself a strong country, hates South Africa very much, just like Poland looks at the Soviet Union from a similar perspective. If it weren't for South Africa, Lao Tzu would be the first in Africa.
"Since the situation is so favorable to our country!" Brezhnev seemed to have just regained his senses. He glanced at the surrounding committee members with a dull look, and cleared his throat, "Then I have decided to kill them."
Just when the United States, Britain, France, the Federal Republic of Germany and Japan, and Italy gathered in Paris. In Moscow, the Soviet capital, the Soviet Central Presidium has decided to intervene in the Angolan civil war, targeting South Africa in the name of opposing apartheid.
The first meeting of the Group of Seven in July began in Paris, almost at the same time, from the Cuban mainland, the Soviet An-22 transport plane carrying thousands of Cuban soldiers and equipment, crossed the Atlantic Ocean and landed on Angola. It marks that Cuba sent volunteers involved in the Angolan civil war to support the pro-Soviet Angolan Movement. At the same time in Moscow, the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Central Liaison Department compiled a list of countries that supported the Soviet Union morally and militarily, Bulgaria, the German Democratic Republic, Cape Verde, Czechoslovakia, the Republic of Congo, Cuba, Guinea-Bissau, Morocco, Mozambique, Nigeria, North Korea, China, Romania, Sao Tome and Principe, Somalia, the Soviet Union, Sudan, Tanzania, Vietnam and Yugoslavia have all expressed their willingness to provide military assistance to the SPAM.
On July 12, a freighter carrying twelve MiG-21 fighter jets arrived in Angola, at the same time that Andropov, the Minister of the Central Liaison Department, left Moscow for a visit to Mozambique, in fact Andropov's purpose It's not as simple as it appears. At the same time, the ANC military organization Spear of the Nation also met. In fact, the party founded by Mandela in the 1970s is an armed party. Mandela is also a hard-line figure. The commander-in-chief of the Spear is Mandela in prison, but the chief of staff is Chris Haney, who is also the general secretary of the South African Communist Party.
The Soviet Union made a big move to transport the Cuban Airborne Forces from Latin America to Angola. There was no hidden motive in it. At the same time, the list of support for the complete independence of Angola was announced at the first time. The support of dozens of countries for the Soviet Union was given to South Africa from the beginning. Put a lot of pressure on it.
US President Ford, who was busy sharing benefits with other partners, directly handed these matters over to the US Central Intelligence Agency. The An People's Movement and UNITA rely on the supporters behind their own, and are gearing up for their own chassis. Waiting for the day when the war broke out, among the An People's Movement bases, with the continuous landing of Soviet transport planes, the number of Cuban soldiers has rapidly reached more than 5,000. Castro has devoted great efforts to support the world revolution. And just a dozen years ago, he was a person who knew little about socialism.
Cuba is equipped with more than 130 tanks and armored vehicles of various types, 200 large-caliber artillery pieces, and 12 MiG-21 fighter jets sent by the Soviet Union. to 60,000 people.
"An Jiezhen's strength is not strong, and the countries in the north do not support them. If they can't fight, they won't fight. The confidant is UNITA. An Jiezhen can wait until the victory and defeat with UNITA before solving it, or even not use it. The way of war. If you are afraid that the NSA in the north will find trouble when the decisive battle with UNITA, then our Alpha troops directly under the KGB will defend the north. Of course, we only have 1,500 people, and it is impossible for all the small units that have penetrated in. catch."
"If the comrades of the KGB can keep the ANLF in the north calm, then it's no big deal to solve the UNITA plan first. The ANPLA itself is stronger than UNITA. If there is a South African army behind UNITA, the South African army can We, the Cuban army, are in charge, so there is no problem," said the commander of the Cuban army.
"I also think that UNITA's military power should be solved first, so that our country can be reunified quickly. If it takes too long, the country will be in ruins, and the Soviet comrades and Cuban comrades will also be dragged down by us. I don't want to see the war going on for too long!" Dos Santos, the military representative of the An People's Movement Movement in Russian, made both the Soviet Union and Cuba nod.
Dos Santos went to the Azerbaijan Petrochemical Institute of the Soviet Union in the 1960s to study petroleum engineering. After graduation, he continued to stay in the Soviet Union to receive military training in the field of communications and radar. It is a pro-Soviet faction in the Anren Yun.
After two weeks of preparation, the two sides have been preparing for their preparations, because the Angolan People's Movement and the 30,000-strong Cuban coalition attacked UNITA and officially started the Angolan civil war. The representative of the Soviet Union spoke at the United Nations. This is to protect Angola's independence and defeat South African racism. intrusion. (To be continued~^~)
