v2 Chapter 1469: Rockefeller's decision

"Ambassador Dobrynin, please explain to me about Chile. Maybe you want to say that you don't know." Kissinger said with great dissatisfaction. This was a premeditated provocation to the United States, no doubt.

​​

In order to deal with Allende, the United States, because of the particularity of Latin America, is forcing Chile to fall into the quagmire of inflation little by little. It is not easy for a country like the United States to do this, but for Cuba's The incident will not be repeated, and the entire foreign-related department is patient.

​​

As a result, Cuba is now using women and children as cover for the front foot, causing chaos on the south coast. In the backhand, he started a purge of high-level military officials in Chile, but Dobrynin pretended not to know about it. How could Kissinger believe that this America's sensitive nerves have been triggered.

​​

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

​​

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

​​

Kissinger has reason to be angry. The United States has also reduced the price of copper by one-fifth after calculation, and paid a huge cost to suppress Chile's economy.

​​

At this moment in Santiago, the capital of Chile, Allende's supporters are holding hands and shouting slogans in support of Allende. Although they do not know the specific inside story of crushing the military coup, they believe that the president's efforts for this country will help people flow. Singing "A united people will never be defeated..."

​​

"Rise, sing, we're going to the flag of victory and unity, we're already on the move, come too, march with me, and you'll see. The song and the flag fly, and the red light of dawn announces..."

​​

"The new life will come back soon, get 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 rebels all over the world, but sometimes we can't be optimistic, and we don't even know whether our support is correct. In Latin America, there are leaders who are specifically admired.”

​​

Listening to the words of the Soviet ambassador, Allende adjusted his glasses, "Should I thank the Soviet Union? But I still want to say that Chile pursues independence."

​​

"We understand, but obviously, even the United States will not let you achieve this goal." The Soviet ambassador raised his eyebrows and said, "The president has no intention to oppose the United States, but the United States cannot tolerate you. In fact, Castro did not want to fight against the United States. The U.S. fought against it, but he cost U.S. capital."

​​

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

​​

On September 9, Pinochet, 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, a tall man came out from the corner. And this man is the commander of the Chilean Air Force. In that dark corner Pinochet whispered, "It's ready."

​​

Afterwards, several officers gathered in a low-key, dimly lit office. After watching Pinochet stamp an envelope with the seal belonging to the Army Commander, they looked at each other and looked at you. At this time, they are only a temporary cooperation, in fact, each has a plan for the future. But they are all pro-American right-wing soldiers.

​​

Pinochet called the military leadership in the name of his daughter's birthday party. It was supposed to deploy a coup d'etat. He did reach a consensus with the military leaders, and the daughter's birthday party ended successfully.

​​

After the birthday banquet, the top military leaders who came out of Pinochet started their careers behind bars one by one, and soon this coup d'état was smashed in the bud.

​​

It's easy to say, but knowing that the coup d'état had been planned, Allende's presidential **** was still taken aback. If they started later, the military would have started.

​​

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

​​

Even Alekseev, who reported at Lubyanka Square, secretly said that he was lucky to be able to act at the right time, and he was on the side of the Soviet Union. If there was a little time gap when making plans, maybe President Allende would be arrested. overthrown.

​​

"It was really a fluke." Andropov also sighed, fortunately, when formulating the plan, Cuba and Chile were put into one operation at the same time. As the son of the Czar of Culture said, if the Chilean affairs were put aside first, perhaps now the Soviet Union would be facing the Chilean military government. "The comrades in the foreign ministry will definitely complain now, and Comrade Gromyko said, Dobre Ning was full of complaints when she was talking to 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 incensed 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 U.S. alert status was four, and during the Cuban Missile Crisis , the entire U.S. military has entered a second-level alert state.

​​

During the Cold War, the U.S. has been on alert level four. The U.S. Airborne Division has entered a standby state and is ready to fly to the Middle East. Fifty B-52 strategic bombers have been recalled to the United States from Guam. A third carrier task force was sent to the Mediterranean, and a 2,000-man naval contingent of the Sixth Fleet was moved to southern Crete, closer to the battlefield.

​​

The Soviet Ministry of Defense also told Brezhnev that it had monitored U.S. military operations 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 Henry Kissinger was about to start a visit to Europe. Originally, Nixon was actually more visited in terms of level, but now the situation is so tense.

​​

​​

But Nixon was still fighting with the judiciary, and he was the only Secretary of State who took Nixon's place to visit. The Arab world also learned that the Jewish Secretary of State was visiting Europe, and once again threatened the oil embargo, which brought Kissinger's visit this time. Lots of extra stress.

​​

Alan Wilson of course knew that Kissinger must be repeating the threat of the Soviet Union. When communicating with the foreign secretary, he also admitted that today is different from the past. The Soviet Union is no different from the Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile Crisis. "Because of this, the Soviet Union is not a threat."

​​

"Oh, Sir, I don't understand when you say that." Patrick, the foreign secretary, frowned. What does the head of the civil service 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 having Weapons of mass destruction, if it doesn’t exist we will attack, and if it does exist, we will live in peace.”

​​

"The truth is such a truth." Foreign Secretary Patrick said embarrassedly, "But it's so straightforward, isn't it?"

​​

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

​​

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

​​

Kissinger, who was about to leave for a visit to the European allies, appeared at Rockefeller Center at this time. Nelson Rockefeller met Kissinger and expressed his best wishes for Kissinger's visit, and then the conversation changed, "Henry, in fact, I recently gave birth. I have an idea, and you also know that in the current situation, it should be difficult for Nixon to survive this storm. Maybe I have to become a candidate to succeed the president. This is different from my imagination. The Republican Party was hit by this. One turmoil may make it difficult to expect a longer term."

​​

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

​​

As the leader of a major faction of the Republican Party, Nelson Rockefeller has been unable to live in the White House because of his Rockefeller surname, but because of Nixon's arrogant and inferiority personality, he got such an opportunity. Since Nixon could not survive the Watergate incident, he must serve the Republican Party. future considerations.

​​

"Nelson, but now there are so many things, Chile has changed unfavorable to the United States, there is a war in the Middle East, and even in Europe, the United Kingdom has communicated with us several times, accusing the United States of deliberately defrauding the Royal Navy. , so that Israel can go to war. And because of the ban on military technology not being exported to Arab countries, there is a lot of mistrust between the two countries, not to mention France, which has always been against us.”

​​

Kissinger didn't want to prevent his old club from fulfilling his presidential dream, but now? He didn't think it was a good opportunity, didn't he come to take the blame by ousting Nixon?

​​

Nelson Rockefeller also admitted that the current political situation can be described as domestic and foreign difficulties, but he still did not change his decision to bring talent to the White House, "Maybe we should think about it and stabilize the pace of the United States, and maybe cooperate with allies as well. Inevitably. The British military in the Middle East seems to be stuck in the Persian Gulf, and the current currency over-issue problem can no longer wait. If you can make the United Kingdom understand the needs of the United States this time, it is really impossible for the two countries to cooperate.”
