v2 Chapter 1169: Cuban Missile Crisis

Soon Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Maxwell Taylor, his brother Attorney General Kennedy, FBI Director Hoover, CIA Director John Alex McCone, Secretary of State Dean Rusk, and the Army , Navy and Air Force commanders arrived at the White House.

"I discovered the suspicious point in August, and it took one and a half months to hand it over to the White House. What are you doing? During this one and a half months, our Pentagon and the CIA are sleeping?"

Kennedy's roaring voice poured out in front of the heads of various departments. He didn't understand why there was no movement for a month and a half on such a big matter, which involved the national security of the United States. The yam was handed over to him.

Jacqueline took a pair of children and walked a little further away, not wanting the children to disturb the furious father.

"John, calm down." Only Attorney General Robert Kennedy dared to speak at this time, smoothing things over for his brother and the heads of these powerful departments, "The key now is to solve the problem, not to pursue the previous things. After passing this test, we will solve the problems exposed by this incident.”

As the head of the CIA, Dulles could hardly absolve himself of the blame, and he was unwilling to argue at this time.

What the Soviet Union deployed in Cuba was not a defensive weapon like anti-aircraft missiles, but an offensive strategic weapon of medium-range ballistic missiles, equipped with nuclear warheads that could instantly destroy any city in the United States. .

"The most urgent task now is to know how many such missiles Cuba has and how harmful they are to the United States." FBI Director Hoover said coldly, "Whether the United States can withstand it is a big question."

"Would the Air Force have the capability to do so if it takes the first strike and eliminates the threat at the initial stage?"

"The most important thing is whether we are psychologically prepared for a showdown with the Soviets, and do everything possible to let the Soviets understand that this is the beginning of a nuclear war."

When the Monroe Doctrine first started, there was no doubt that it was just a declaration. At that time, the European powers did not take the Monroe Doctrine seriously. The warships of various countries came when they should. , This situation continued until the First World War.

But it’s different now. The Americas are the Americas of the Americans, and the Americas have already lived up to their name. The Caribbean Sea is where the United States has the best advantage. In any case, the United States should not back down.

"If we all retreat in this place, how can European countries still believe that the United States has the determination to maintain world order?" Dulles finally spoke, expressing that he was on Hoover's side.

This must take into account the consequences of the United States' retreat. Even Cuba under the nose can't handle it? Can European countries that are closer to the Soviet Union across the Atlantic Ocean still unite with the United States?

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Maxwell Taylor finally expressed his support for the most powerful countermeasures. Kennedy nodded, as if determined, "We must determine the number of Soviet missiles, and the Pentagon will formulate a combat plan."

After the White House was burned down by British Canada, this was the first time that the United States faced such a major threat.

In the end, Kennedy asked Secretary of State Dean Rusk to inform European allies for support.

Almost immediately, every hour since then, American aerial reconnaissance forces have been present over Cuba. This time, what the United States wants to find out is not whether there is a problem, but how many there are.

More and clearer image photos were sent to the image processing laboratory in Washington. Technologists have begun studying the zoomed-in images at the Pentagon's analysis center.

On Sunday, October 14th, Alan Wilson was receiving Palden Dundup Namgal, who arrived in London, and the crown prince of Sikkim, who was in love with the American Ocean Horse, and had a lot of gossip.

Facts have proved that what race is a small problem, as long as one of the two items of wealth and honor occupies one, the spouse is not a problem.

The Crown Prince of Sikkim didn't know why Alan Wilson came to him, and in the end he was very entangled in taking the rocket with Dayan Mar and coming to London. After making a choice, he came unwillingly.

Long time no see. The English level of the Crown Prince of Sikkim has improved a lot. I don’t know if there is an American girl who taught him by example.

Of course, this is not important. Although Alan Wilson is extremely dissatisfied with this short-sighted behavior, being able to use the other party now and becoming an American husband will also help Sikkim get more attention, which is also a good thing in a sense.

Talking about the dangers of the forward policy, Alan Wilson looked like the Great Britain still maintained its influence on India, in a trance, invincible, and stunned Palden Dundup Namgal I was taken aback.

"Sir, which country is more dangerous to Sikkim," asked Paldon Dundup Namgal.

"Of course it's India! Do you even need to think about it?" Alan Wilson replied with a long face.

"Is it time for me to accuse India of infiltration?" Palden Dundup Namgar was full of doubts.

"Are you crazy? On the contrary, you should stand firmly with India at the United Nations." Alan Wilson angrily denounced this actor's behavior, and said bluntly, "The countries in the north will not do anything to you, India is really possible Turn your country into history, you know? As the ruler of a country, you want your country to think about it."

The populations on both sides of the Himalayas are completely unequal, and there are hundreds of millions of Indians in the Ganges River Basin. Alan Wilson can understand India's oppression of the three Himalayas, but what can be done? Still have to endure it!

"The first priority is to preserve the existence of our own country. Existence is everything. Everything is for existence. As long as there is this premise, the temporary difficulties in front of us can be reversed one day."

Alan Wilson proved with practical actions that the Golden Buddha given to him at the beginning was definitely not for nothing. Even after so many years, he still tried his best to find a way out for the three countries of Bhutan, Sikkim, and Nepal.

He gave up the weekend to discuss life-and-death issues with the other party. This sincerity is enough for the Kingdom of Sikkim to remember for a lifetime. Let alone a golden Buddha, it is not too much to hollow out the royal family of Sikkim. Now, these extraneous things can always be saved.

"Don't be in a hurry to go back to the United States, and stay in London for a few days first." Alan Wilson ordered, telling Palden Dundup Namgal not to go back in a hurry.

In early October, Nehru declared in New Delhi that the Indian government would "use military force to deal with China." On the 12th, he publicly ordered that the Chinese army should be "cleared" from the Chinese territory occupied by the Indian army.

Just yesterday, Indian Defense Minister Menon declared: We will fight with China to the last person and the last gun. Then, he flew to the Indian border town of Tispur near the eastern section of the Sino-Indian border for military deployment.

This is all public information, and there is nothing secret about it. From these news, Alan Wilson is very clear that some things are unavoidable. How can Britain, a maritime power, have the power to stop the battle on land?

On the evening of the weekend, the family of five was enjoying a moment of tranquility. Pamela Mountbatten was thinking about pastimes after dinner, such as eating a banana, when the phone rang suddenly, interrupting the imagination of the richest woman.

"I'm Alan." Alan Wilson picked up the microphone and said calmly.

"Permanent Undersecretary, there is a major event in Washington. The cabinet and Whitehall are in meetings. The cabinet secretary asked you to go there immediately." The voice in the microphone was full of urging.

Alan Wilson's hand holding the microphone trembled for no reason, took a deep breath and said, "Understood, go right away."

"What's the matter? Honey!" Pamela Mountbatten was a little dissatisfied, "Don't you just go to work tomorrow? There is an emergency meeting on the weekend. The government department is too much, using people like this?"

"Who knows, you'll know when you go." Alan Wilson reached out and touched his wife's cheek, "I'll be back in a while."

Walking out of the house, Alan Wilson stood in the autumn wind, he probably already knew what happened.

Both the cabinet and Whitehall are brightly lit at this time, and the cabinet is discussing major issues related to the direction of the world. Naturally, the job of Whitehall is to demonstrate whether this issue is really related to the direction of the world.

The United Kingdom does not know the specific situation. The current situation only knows that the United States has notified the United Kingdom that there are strategic weapons in Cuba.

As for how powerful this weapon is, how much is it. The United States has not figured it out~ lightnovelpub.net~ It is even more impossible for the United Kingdom to understand.

It was the first time for Alan Wilson to join the discussion as the Deputy Secretary-General of the Cabinet. He is the Executive Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Excluding the previous status, he is also eligible to participate in the meeting.

Not long after, Alan Wilson followed Norman Brooke out of the cabinet office and went to the cabinet meeting. Prime Minister Eden, Minister of Defense Profumo, Minister of Foreign Affairs Rabo Butler and other cabinet ministers were also there.

"Norman, Alan, have you come up with any plans?" Prime Minister Aiden asked.

"No, it's under the noses of the Americans, and we can't interfere." Alan Wilson replied calmly, "If there is any gain, it is fortunate that the United States did not let the United States deploy strategic bombers and ballistic missiles in the first place." Britain, otherwise, the problems caused by Italy and Turkey may still be part of us."

"As far as the military deployment is concerned, we judge that the Americans are fine." Norman Brook said, "Of course, for world peace, we should work hard diplomatically and ask France what is its attitude, and what is the purpose of the Soviets?" What. Of course, all of this depends on the latest news from the United States. The situation is unclear now, so naturally it is impossible to judge how to deal with it."
