Big Time 1958

As soon as the comment came out, Torres, the general secretary of the French Communist Party, was dissatisfied, and he quickly criticized, "The demon communists have reached the point where they can do everything they can. We French communists are here, and we are rooted in France. The so-called imaginary circle is needed, and I hope Le Monde will not publish brainless articles. Algerians themselves believe in the religion of peace. This common sense error should not appear in our French newspapers and will be laughed at by other countries. …”

   Subsequently, the Communist Party of Greece and the Communist Party of Italy, which are both European communist parties, expressed their support for the statement of the French Communist Party. It would be a huge mistake to think that the French authorities are still clinging to colonialism.

  The French do not want Algeria to break away from the French territory. Algeria is different from other colonies. After France occupied it, it always treated Algeria as its own territory. If time could be reversed, many French people may regret why they didn't kill all the Arabs in Algeria during the colonial era, and the result has evolved into today's situation.

   Time cannot be reversed, and it is too late to regret. France’s desire to continue to maintain its colonies naturally attracted opposition from all countries except its own country. There are only so many powerful countries in Europe. The Federal Republic of Germany has no political voice, and is naturally willing to stand on the moral high ground to criticize the French, and the Italians are even more In this way, they want the French power in North Africa to collapse. As for the British gentlemen on the other side of the strait, in the spirit of Lao Tzu's lost colonies, the French can't retain the spirit of continuing to act as scumbags. attacked.

The    French never seemed so isolated, at this very moment because the Algerian People's Army in Egypt raised the communist flag, almost immediately causing a chain reaction that attracted another superpower in today's world. What opposes colonization and what supports the independence of various nations. Under normal circumstances, Americans are willing to shout slogans from the moral high ground in public, but this is based on the foundation that independent forces are not supported by the Soviet Union.

   Once it comes to the USSR. The usual problem becomes another problem. Any supporter of national independence is a fart. If the situation requires it, the United States can naturally be friends with dictators, warlords and religious forces. As long as the force is not communist, everything is fine.

   In the original assessment of the CIA, the Algeria issue was just a feint by the Soviet Union, and it was not a matter of much concern. It's not even as important as the United States' fight for Indonesia, but after such a long period of fermentation, it seems that the Soviet Union is ready to play for real. Although it was organized through Poland's efforts, tanks and artillery were actually taken out. support. Was the CIA's earlier judgment wrong?

The Indonesian issue has always been given more weight in the CIA's assessment than the Algerian issue, simply because the number of the Indonesian Communist Party is still steadily increasing, and with Sukarno's support at least indulgent, the communists are gaining ground in Indonesia. Great, if you go to Jakarta at this time, you can see communism propaganda everywhere.

  The Americans moved very quickly. As the opponent of the KGB, the CIA was undoubtedly qualified. The Algerian People's Army consisted of hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of tanks. Enough for the CIA to overturn the original judgment and determine that the Soviets are really ready to fight in North Africa, and the illogical doubts about the Soviet Union in the hearts of the Americans will be suppressed for the time being. First let the French really understand the situation in Algeria.

The silence of the Americans was discovered by Pravda, and soon a very bitter comment appeared in Pravda, "With the anti-colonial turmoil in the world, aren't the Americans who claim to be leaders of the free world ready to comment on the matter in Algeria? Is it only freedom for Americans that is freedom, not freedom for Arabs?"

  What are you talking about? Is this even a question? The American media who saw this report snorted coldly in their hearts. This is also a problem. As for the explanation of the Soviet Union's manipulation of public opinion to question the United States, President Kennedy, who just took office, answered this question with great grace. "We Americans understand the value of freedom better than any other country. I think Soviet friends may have forgotten that the United States was founded on the basis of resistance to the British colonists. From this point of view, the United States and all the colonies in the world are now In the same way, we feel the same way about their attitude towards the colonizers. It is not that we do not support the independence of the Algerian people, we in the United States just want this independence to be based on a peaceful handover. The development of weapons in this era has come to a point where it is terrifying. At this point, if the experience of the American independence years is put into modern times, I don’t know what a huge price to pay. Here I call on the French government to face up to the independence request of the Algerians. Since you have allowed so many countries to become independent, why can’t you let Algeria become independent too? ?"

   Kennedy, who has just been in office for less than a month, expressed concern about developments in Algeria with a good image. At the same time, he called on the French authorities and the Algerian National Liberation Front to come to the negotiating table. And I am going to send the new Secretary of State Livingston T. Merchant to France to meet with President Charles de Gaulle immediately to mediate the Algerian issue. Of course, Kennedy did not say the subtext. It is best not to let the forces supported by the Soviet Union gain positive influence in the Arab world. influences.

"Kennedy came to power?" Shelov looked at the large-scale portrait of the US president that was the most embarrassing to the Soviet Union during the Cold War in the newspaper. According to his usual habits, he should analyze a wave of it routinely, but he immediately gave up the idea. Knowing that no analysis is required, and that the Soviet Union has no power to change the outcome of the Cuban missile crisis, it just looks better.

  On the matter of Algeria alone, the new US Secretary of State estimated that his first visit would be fruitless, and the flashpoint of time was not on the American side. Going forward a little Kennedy may achieve his goal, but now it is too late, de Gaulle will not compromise on the Algerian issue, even if it is facing the Americans. The United States, who trusted the Secretary of State to be ignorant of current affairs, forced De Gaulle to further alienate the already cold relationship between the United States and France. De Gaulle, a soldier who came from the era when his motherland was killed by the Third Reich, had the extreme independence in his heart. China in this era is worse.

"You are for the good of the United States, but unfortunately you died at the hands of the Americans themselves. The U.S. government did not even dare to announce the cause of your death. It is a great irony. After the Kennedy assassination, Americans still believe in their own. The country is a free country, this is a kind of idiotic self-confidence..." Looking at the smug Kennedy in the newspaper, he must not know that he was assassinated before he even finished his first term.

   Kennedy would have been surprised if he knew there was someone in an enemy country who knew he was going to be assassinated.

   "When Kennedy is dead, you can use his death to criticize the Americans and spread some popular conspiracy theories, which is considered waste!" Sheloff took a pen and drew a big cross on Kennedy's photo.

  It seems that after the Kennedy brothers died, Kennedy's wife went abroad to avoid marrying a rich Greek. This matter can be a good advice. If Kennedy's son was educated by Soviet agents, would it be easier for him to take revenge? Serov never thought about the Cuban missile crisis at all. He even knew how many nuclear warheads the United States had now. In the 21st century, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the comparison of the nuclear power between the United States and the Soviet Union was 27,000 American nuclear weapons against the Soviet Union. When it reaches 3,000 pieces, the disparity ratio is not one to two. The Soviet Union does not even have a chance to give it a shot.

The direct consequence of the Cuban Missile Crisis is that the Soviet leadership, who felt the humiliation, frantically built nuclear bombs after the Cuban Missile Crisis ended. After more than ten years, the number of nuclear warheads in the Soviet Union has reached more than 40,000, the number of which is equivalent to that of American nuclear weapons. 1.5 times, tactical nuclear weapons frequently appeared in various exercises of the Soviet Red Army as a performance item.

   "Comrade Mohammad Rahim is ready to return to China, first vice-chairman!" When Lukani told Serov the news, Serov was considering the possibility of Kennedy's son becoming a Soviet agent.

   "Oh? Then let's go deliver it!" Serov, who had recovered, stood up and walked to the hanger. After two minutes, he put on his military coat and buckled the armed belt, and it became a regular appearance again. When seeing off, Serov mentioned the religious issue in Iraq, "In principle, we naturally don't want to see religion become a force that interferes with the country, but given that Iraq's religious forces are relatively strong, you can temporarily play down this issue before gaining power."

   As long as success is guaranteed, it’s okay to give up some principles temporarily. Religious issues can be discussed after taking office. The clean up is of course to clean up, but you can wait until you come to the stage to talk about it. Serov even sold the Algerian Communist Party for the Iraqi affairs. If there is no return, the loss will be too great.

In this way, Mohammad Rahim, who had been in Azerbaijan for ten days, left the Soviet Union with a plan on how to turn oil into Iraq’s national income. At the same time, there were less than a few dozen Iraqi security cadres who had excellent academic performance. Colonel Riyada said that these returning cadres initially possessed the standard of a Cheka fighter, and could establish a ruthless organization to deal with the enemy. Serov is quite satisfied with this explanation. Exporting revolution is not to train idealists to make enemies. At the same time, you should also establish a mechanism to protect your own power.

  While sending Mohammad Rahim away, Serov received a telegram from Lubyanka Square 11 and set off on the train back to Moscow. (To be continued~^~)
