v2 Chapter 1469: Rockefeller's decision

"Ambassador Dobrynin, please explain to me what happened in Chile. Maybe you want to say that you don't know." Kissinger said very dissatisfied. This is a premeditated provocation to the United States, no doubt about it.

In order to deal with Allende, the United States, because of the particularity of Latin America, can be said to force Chile to fall into the quagmire of inflation step by step. For a country with the United States, it is not easy to do this, but for Cuba’s The matter will not repeat itself, and the entire foreign-related department has remained patient.

As a result, Cuba is now using women and children as cover, creating chaos on the south coast. Backhandingly, Chile has launched a purge of high-level military officials, but Dobrynin is here pretending not to know. How can Kissinger believe this? Sensitive nerves in the United States have been triggered.

"Dear Secretary of State, I really don't know what you're talking about. I'm a diplomat." Dobrynin replied indifferently, "I want to focus on diplomacy and solve each other's problems."

The conversation between the two broke up badly. In Kissinger’s eyes, the Soviet ambassador was hypocritical, and Dobrynin was also very wronged. He really didn’t know what happened in Chile and was going to ask after he left.

Kissinger had reason to be angry. The United States also lowered the price of copper by one-fifth after calculation. It paid a huge cost for this to suppress Chile's economy, but when it was about to bear fruit, all previous efforts were wasted.

At this very moment in Santiago, Chile's capital, Allende's supporters are holding hands and shouting slogans supporting Allende. Although they don't know the details of the smashing of the military coup, they believe that the president's efforts for the country, the flow of people Singing "A united people will never be defeated..."

"Arise, sing, we march to the banner of victory and unity, already marching, you too, march with me, and you will see. Songs and flags fly, and the red light of the dawn proclaims..."

"The new life will come back soon, rise up, fight, and the people will go to victory."

"Comrade Allende, the people are so supportive of you. This is very rare in Latin America. We support the rebels all over the world, but sometimes we can't be optimistic, and we don't even know whether our support is correct. Didn't think In Latin America, there are leaders who are exclusively admired."

Hearing what the Soviet ambassador said, Allende adjusted his glasses, "Should I thank the Soviet Union? But I still want to say that what Chile pursues is independence."

"We understand, but obviously, the United States will not let you achieve even this goal." The Soviet ambassador raised his eyebrows and said, "The president has no intention of going against the United States, but the United States cannot tolerate you. In fact, Castro did not want to fight with the United States The United States resisted, but he caused the loss of American capital."

Allende remained silent. The saddest thing is that the words of the Soviet ambassador were true. He just wanted Chile's resources to contribute to Chile's development, but the United States refused.

On September 9, Pinochet, the commander-in-chief of the Chilean army, was hosting a birthday dinner for his daughter, but no one noticed that he came out of a corner. Not long after he came out, another tall man came out from the corner. And this man is the commander of the Chilean Air Force. In that dark corner, Pinochet said softly: "It's ready."

Then several military officers gathered in a low-key and dark office. They looked at each other after Pinochet stamped the seal of the army commander on an envelope. At this time, they are only cooperating for a while, but in fact, each of them has plans for the future in their hearts. But they are all right-wing soldiers who are pro-American.

Pinochet called the military leadership in the name of his daughter's birthday party. He originally planned a coup d'etat. He did reach a consensus with the military leaders, and his daughter's birthday party was successfully concluded.

After the birthday party was over, the high-level military officers who came out of Pinochet started their careers behind bars one by one, and soon this coup d'état was crushed in the bud.

It sounds simple, but knowing that the coup d'etat had been planned, Allende's presidential guards were still taken aback. If they did it later, the military would have done it.

If the military started the coup, perhaps the people who took to the streets to support Allende would be replaced by mass demonstrations supporting the military coup.

Even Alekseev, who was reporting at Lubyanka Square, secretly thought that he was lucky to be able to do it at the right time. He was on the side of the Soviet Union. If there was a little time gap when making the plan, President Allende might be killed. overthrown.

"It's really a fluke." Andropov also lamented. Fortunately, when the plan was drawn up, Cuba and Chile were included in one operation at the same time. As the son of the cultural tsar said, if the Chilean matter is put aside first, maybe the Soviet Union is now facing the Chilean military government." The comrades in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will definitely complain now, Comrade Gromyko said, Dobre Ning is full of complaints when talking with China."

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is indeed very busy now, and the Ministry of Defense is also busy, because the United States seems to be angered by the changes in Latin America. The Pentagon ordered the global US military to enter a three-level alert state. During the Cold War, the US alert state was four. During the Cuban missile crisis , The entire U.S. military has entered a second-level alert state.

During the Cold War, the United States remained on alert level four. The U.S. airborne division is on standby, ready to fly to the Middle East, and fifty b52 strategic bombers have been recalled to the United States from Guam. A third carrier task force was dispatched to the Mediterranean, and a 2,000-man naval detachment of the Sixth Fleet was transferred to southern Crete, closer to the battlefield.

The Soviet Ministry of Defense also stated to Brezhnev that it had monitored the military actions of the United States and suggested that a response should be given.

When the hostility between the United States and the Soviet Union became more and more intense, US Secretary of State Kissinger was about to start a visit to Europe. In terms of level, Nixon actually visited more. Now the situation is already so tense.

But Nixon was still fighting with the judiciary, and he was the only Secretary of State who replaced Nixon in his visit. The Arab world also learned that the Jewish Secretary of State was visiting Europe, and threatened an oil embargo again, which brought Kissinger this visit. Not a lot of extra stress.

Of course Alan Wilson knew that Kissinger must have repeated the same old tune about the threat of the Soviet Union. When communicating with the foreign minister, he also admitted that today is different from the past. The Soviet Union is no longer the same as the Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile Crisis. "Because of this, the Soviet Union was not a threat."

"Oh, sir, I don't understand when you say that." Patrick, the foreign secretary, frowned. What does the head of civil servants mean?

"Literally, because the Soviet Union is really powerful, it is not a threat to world peace, but a guardian of world peace, at least one of them." Alan Wilson said with a half-smile, "If we accuse a country of WMD, if it doesn't exist we will attack, if it does exist, we will live in peace."

"That's the truth." Foreign Secretary Patrick said with some embarrassment, "But it's so straightforward, isn't it?"

"Because the Foreign Secretary is a reliable person, this conversation need not be dressed up in useless modifiers."

Alan Wilson expressed his reliable approval of the Foreign Secretary, "We hope that Israel can stop the war, and hope that Secretary of State Kissinger can play a constructive role in this matter. European countries are actually not rich in resources. If the world's oil depots are targeted, it will be a big trouble."

Kissinger, who was about to set off to visit the European allies, appeared at the Rockefeller Center at this time. Nelson Rockefeller saw Kissinger, expressed his best wishes for Kissinger's visit, and then changed the subject, "Henry, in fact, I recently gave birth I just came up with an idea, and you know that given the current situation, it would be difficult for Nixon to survive this turmoil~lightnovelpub.net~Maybe I have to be a candidate to succeed the president, which is different from my imagination In and out, the Republicans have been hit with this storm, which may make it difficult to hope for a longer term."

Nelson Rockefeller did not hide his true thoughts. He had indeed considered it clearly and decided to bring his talent to the White House to contribute to the reputation of the Rockefeller family.

As the leader of a major faction of the Republican Party, Nelson Rockefeller has been unable to enter the White House as he wished because of the Rockefeller surname. Unexpectedly, because of Nixon's conceited and inferior personality, he got such an opportunity. future considerations.

"Nelson, but there are so many things going on now. There are changes in Chile that are unfavorable to the United States. There is a war in the Middle East. Even in Europe, the United Kingdom has communicated with us several times, accusing the United States of intentionally deceiving the Royal Navy. , so that Israel can start a war. And because of the ban on exporting military technology to Arab countries, the two countries have added a lot of distrust, not to mention France, which has always been against us."

Kissinger is not trying to prevent his old club from fulfilling his presidential dream, but at this time? He didn't think it was a good opportunity. Didn't he take the blame for driving Nixon out of office?

Nelson Rockefeller also admitted that the current political situation can be described as internal and external difficulties, but he still did not change his decision to bring his talents to the White House, "Maybe we should think about it carefully and stabilize the footsteps of the United States. Maybe it is also a good idea to cooperate with allies. It is inevitable. The British garrison in the Middle East seems to be glued to the Persian Gulf, and the issue of currency over-issuance can no longer wait. If you can make Britain understand the needs of the United States this time, the two countries can cooperate.”
