v2 Chapter 1050: Whose responsibility?

It took Lumumba twelve days to go back and forth, and the Soviet Union had already prepared everything it should have prepared.

As the No. 2 power in the world today, it is not a big burden to aid in the construction of a country. In order to save time and prevent changes, the Soviet Union concentrated the only six Tu-114 airliners in the country, which are the civilian versions of the Tu-95 strategic bomber.

The Figure 114 passenger plane once took Khrushchev to visit the United States, flying 10,000 kilometers away without stopping.

It is very suitable to complete the mission this time. These passenger planes are already full of passengers, and the supplies that have been distributed are waiting in Kiev.

Moscow is the capital of the Soviet Union, which is not conducive to secrecy. Kiev is equally important and easier to hide.

On July 24, the day Lumumba returned to the Congo, he announced in Kinshasa, "If the United Nations is unwilling to play a positive role in safeguarding Congo's sovereignty and independence, then I will ask Moscow for help. Completely remove the motherland from colonialism. rescued from doctrine."

At the same time, six Tu-114 passenger planes at Kiev Airport rose from the ground, carrying the personnel and supplies that the Soviet Union had aided Congo this time, and flew straight to Kinshasa.

The Tu 114 is the largest and longest-range passenger aircraft in the world today, although it is not a jet airliner.

The Tu 114 passenger plane, fully loaded with personnel and supplies, carried out this house theft at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour.

Khrushchev's African strategy has been fruitless for many years, and it remains to be seen whether a zero breakthrough can be achieved.

Ten hours after Lumumba announced his request for assistance from the Soviet Union, while Britain, the United States and France were still assessing the impact, these behemoths had already appeared over Kinshasa. When the embassies of various countries in Kinshasa learned the news, The Figure 114 passenger plane has landed, and more than 400 Soviet people and the supplies they carried came out of the passenger plane with the sickle and hammer flag pattern on the tail. The power of the Soviet Union appeared in the center of Africa.

The whole process was so fast that it was like a dream, almost like the blitzkrieg in the world war came again.

When no one came back to God, the Soviets had already appeared in the capital of the Congo, declaring to the outside world that they were at the invitation of the Congolese Prime Minister Lumumba to provide assistance to the Congo. The assistance included economic and military assistance to protect the sovereignty and integrity of the Congo. for purpose.

When this news came out, public opinion in the whole world was in an uproar, accusing the Soviet Union one after another, saying that this was an act of Soviet expansion. At the United Nations meeting, the two major groups blamed each other.

On the surface, the two major groups clamored at each other, but secretly, Britain, the United States and France blamed each other. Britain and France believed that it was the result of the United States forcing Belgium to let Congo become independent.

The unnoticed Eastern Europe is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface. Khrushchev and Tito of Yugoslavia had a conversation. It means that Yugoslavia can contribute to this matter.

There are now 600,000 Slavs living in Northern Rhodesia. These Slavs are all **** anti-Tito elements and have always been a threat to the sovereignty and security of Yugoslavia.

Congo is adjacent to Northern Rhodesia. Moscow used this argument to persuade Tito to intervene with the Soviet Union on the Congo issue, so that it could actively contain the threat of these anti-Tito elements living in Northern Rhodesia.

Ustasha and Chetnik escaped from birth at the end of World War II and eventually went to Africa. They have been in contact with anti-Tito elements in China for many years, and they have continued to infiltrate Yugoslavia, encouraging people to flee Yugoslavia. In the eyes of the Yugoslav Communist Party and Tito himself, it has always been a serious problem.

Almost without any hesitation, Tito agreed to Moscow's request, but Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union were not comparable after all, and it took some time to prepare, and then had the opportunity to assist the Congo with the Soviet Union.

In any case, the Soviet Union's large-scale assault caught the United States, which thought everything was under control, by surprise.

Immediately afterwards, the United States immediately protested against the actions of the Soviet Union, believing that this was a threat to world peace and a provocation to the free world.

But such attacks and protests cannot change the fact that Soviet forces have already appeared in Congo. The United States, feeling that the situation was serious, immediately ended the meaningless quarrel between Britain and France. When the Soviet Union really took action, Britain and France could also be a conflict among the people.

Of course, the United States wants to destroy the colonial system and make it disappear, but this result must be absorbed by the United States, not the Soviet Union. Fundamentally, the Soviet Union is much stronger than Britain and France.

Dulles immediately contacted British Foreign Secretary Macmillan and French Georges Pidour, and Deputy Secretary of State Smith, who had just left Congo not long ago, returned.

At this time, Yugoslavia announced aid to Congo and supported Congo's efforts to completely eliminate the remnants of colonialism.

Alan Wilson, who was in Lusaka, was a little surprised, but immediately realized and found Grace, "Tito's actions should be aimed at you. This is very worrying."

What he meant was obvious, Ustasha and Chetnik? In the final analysis, he is Tito's underling.

If there is another confrontation, a Balkan macho confrontation in Africa, will people like Grace do it?

From the perspective of convergent evolution, if you stay in a stable environment for too long, your combat effectiveness will decrease accordingly. To use a common saying, playing chess with a stinky chess basket will get worse and worse. People like Grace are okay with Africans, but they meet people like Tito? Anyway, Alan Wilson is pessimistic.

"Even if we are not Tito's opponents, we cannot be defeated by some Africans trained by Tito's instructors." Grace really wanted to say that Tito was a fart, but when he thought about it, he was like a bereaved dog more than ten years ago, and he was still in Germany before boarding the ship. In the scene of a group streaking along the coast, the rare speaking is more modest.

"It seems that you are not confident either. Fortunately, it is impossible for Tito to send the People's Army." Alan Wilson saw Grace's sternness, and began to comfort him, "This is good news for you."

Yugoslavia has become a member of the Warsaw Pact, which has increased the power of the Warsaw Pact. After all, it is a country with a population of 18 million. It is considered to be very large in Eastern Europe. In Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union ranks third, at 2,000 After Poland with a population of 8 million, and the GDR with 22 million people.

As for the remnants of World War II in Northern Rhodesia, after so many years, there are only 600,000 people. If we really wanted to fight Yugoslavia, if Tito didn't crush these enemies of the people to death, it would be considered that they were strong enough.

But no matter what, he believes that it is not a problem for Grace to fight an African armed force. Although the Angola war is a counter-example, it is mainly because South Africa cannot defeat Cuba, which is understandable.

Yugoslavia has no strategic power, and the Soviet Union's strategic projection capability is far from that of Brezhnev's period.

"It's really prescient for you to surround Northern Rhodesia with landmines." Alan Wilson did not mean to be teasing. He really thought that although the method was a bit stupid, these remnants of World War II were not confused. Wouldn't it be useful?

Just as Grace was about to say something, the phone rang. Alan Wilson picked up the receiver and heard the voice of the High Commissioner of Northern Rhodesia, "Permanent Undersecretary, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Smith is about to land at Lusaka Airport. meet you."

"Why is it him again, so annoying." Alan Wilson frowned, "William, what's the matter with him?"

"I don't know anything about the Congo." William replied immediately, "But it looks very serious."

In just half a month, the situation in Congo has deteriorated to such an extent that the United States has been caught off guard. This time, it is absolutely impossible to catch up on the old days, and the two have no old feelings, and they are tearing each other down a bit more.

I believe London is also very busy, all due to the butterfly effect of the deteriorating situation in Congo.

Smith took a deep breath, opened the door of the building, walked upstairs to the apartment where Alan Wilson lived, and then knocked on the door reluctantly, preparing to meet this close ally who didn't get along very well.

"Come in, honored guest." Alan Wilson opened the door and invited his American colleague to come in and sit down. Since the meeting was private, he also knew how to treat guests, and prepared a bottle of red wine to ease the awkward atmosphere.

The fate is so wonderful. Since the Iranian oil crisis, the two seem to have seen each other often, and indeed there is not much happy time. Hope this time is an exception.

"The hesitation of the United Kingdom and France has caused the embarrassing situation in Congo." Smith said with a stern face, "Once Congo falls into the hands of the Soviet Union, it will not be good for everyone."

"Why don't you say ~lightnovelpub.net~ The United States exerted pressure on Belgium to cause Congo's independence? Let go of the suppression, maybe the matter will be resolved by now." Alan Wilson chuckled, and the old **** said, "I didn't see it when I treated the enemy Wherever the United States is strong, its ability is used on its allies."

As long as Smith dares to say more on this issue, Alan Wilson is ready to help Smith recall the whole process of the Korean War, which is not a wonderful memory.

"Once the Congo is lost, aren't Britain and France responsible at all?" Smith said word by word. He didn't think the United States had any responsibility.

"The loss of the Congo is the responsibility of the United Kingdom?" Alan Wilson lit a cigar and puffed out white smoke. "Then whose responsibility is the loss of Cuba?"

"The Cuban matter is another matter. Now we are talking about the Congo matter. Now that the Soviets have come, what should we do?" Smith avoided the question of Cuba's responsibility. The Cuban matter was of course the fault of his immediate boss, Dulles. But he dared not say it.

"Supporting the civil war in the Congo, what else can we do." Alan Wilson pouted, "What else can we do? Just don't be like the Korean War, just don't get any results."
