Reborn American Giants

Victor was not able to determine what agreements the Colombian government had with its domestic drug trafficking groups, but based on the fluctuations in market prices, it was clear that the Bogota government had reached some unknown agreements with other drug trafficking groups that had not been cracked down on.

secret agreement.

"Victor, it goes without saying about the relationship between the two of us. I believe in you," John thought for a long time and then said to Victor who was standing by the bed: "...but the others..."

The implication is that he doesn't care about Victor's relationship with the guerrillas of the Marti Front, but he hopes that his cooperative relationship with Victor will not be exposed, thus affecting himself.

Of course Victor understood John's concerns, "You can rest assured on this, only I can know your situation..."

This was a "reassurance" for John. He gritted his teeth. Now that he had made up his mind, he no longer hesitated.

"I believe you," John slapped his right palm heavily on the armrest of the sofa, making a dull sound, as if to show his determination.

"Wait a moment, I'll take a look at the schedule within the next month," John stood up from the sofa and walked to the bedroom. The implication was that if Victor's proposal was to be carried out, it would be best within a month.

After a while, John came out with a thin notebook and a 1:250,000 medium-sized map of El Salvador. While flipping through the information in the notebook, he spread the map out on the low table in front of the sofa.

, moving his hand along the detailed topographic map above, he said: "Today is the 10th. Considering that you need time to prepare the plan you mentioned and other factors, I will prepare it within the next half month.

What do you think about starting the operation against Magdalena and Torola?"

Victor didn't say anything. He calculated in his mind the time it would take to persuade other organizations and transfer some necessary drug laboratory equipment and raw materials and other key items. Everything should be ready in half a month.

"Although I am the CIA's top intelligence officer in El Salvador, not everything has the final say." Seeing that Victor remained silent, John thought that the time he was talking about was too stressful for Victor.

Some, so he further explained: "Originally

I wanted to take action against La Palma and Agua Caliente, and to this end I submitted a report to Langley requesting action. According to the original plan, it was to prepare to attack the guerrillas in Sensuntepec Province, where according to the

Accurate intelligence shows that the area of ​​activity belonging to the guerrillas can be determined."

"Aren't there any operations against the Magdalena and Torola areas?" Victor asked.

"No," John shook his head, "At least when I first submitted the application, we were not ready to crack down on smuggling operations in the Magdalena and Torola areas. The original plan was to clean up Sensunte.

The northern mountainous area of ​​​​Peque Province, uprooting the guerrillas' local economic sources and eliminating their threat to the capital, and bringing the province back under the control of the Salvadoran government."

"Then apply now," Victor slid his fingers on the map, then followed the markings to find Magdalena's location on the map, then tapped the paper map hard, and said to John:

"Our goal is Magdalena."

"Victor, I don't know what the specific relationship is between you and the guerrillas, but there is one thing I want to remind you," John sighed, looked at Victor and said seriously: "Those people from the Farabundo Martí Front are all

They are a group of lunatics who have been brainwashed by gcist ideas. The guerrillas under their control are not a bunch of good men and women. If you have too deep contact with them and are discovered by the US government, your name will definitely be on the internal "processing list"

", and the ranking will definitely be very high."

John does not need to be reminded about this. Victor is also very clear that since the top leader of the Soviet Union, Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov, who was born in the KGB, came to power, it has been limited to its own various problems and the consequences of the war in Afghanistan.

Affected, strategic contraction began.

In Europe, they have maintained a relatively restrained attitude towards confrontation with the United States. Even the Western-81 Red Flag military exercises held successively during the Brezhlev era and the "Seven Hours of Nuclear War" exercise in 1982 showed that their muscles are relatively strong.

Similar exercises have never been held again to avoid irritating the nerves of the capitalist world led by the United States. It also began to improve relations with its eastern neighbors, and the two sides moved from confrontation to dialogue.

However, strategic contraction does not mean that the Soviet government has given up. On the contrary, in Latin America, the back garden of the United States, Andropov instructed the KGB's First Directorate to strengthen support for leftist forces in the Americas and improve the Soviet Union's influence as much as possible.

The country's influence is to defend socialist Cuba and weaken the United States' dominant position in the Western Hemisphere. At the same time, it also wants to avoid direct conflict with the United States because of the "Cuban Missile Crisis" in 1962.

Soviet policymakers believed that the United States' strong economic and cultural influence in the Western Hemisphere was both a challenge and an opportunity for the Soviet Union to expand its influence in Latin America.

The United States' dominant position in Latin America is certainly not easy to shake, but precisely because of its hegemony and economic monopoly in American political affairs, the United States has become the number one bullseye for Latin American countries committed to national development and the "scapegoat to divert domestic problems."

”.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the rise of economic nationalism in Latin America, coupled with the negative impact of the United States on various Latin American countries during the "Bay of Pigs Operation" and other factors, have weakened the political and economic dominance of HSD in Latin America.

status.

National capitalism in Latin American countries can deeply feel the threat of the power of American capital. After decades of development, they no longer believe that the U.S. government has been advocating that large amounts of foreign investment can bring about technological progress and industrial development in their countries.

develop and improve living standards.

They began to vigorously advocate the development of the national economy. This is also the reason why various countries have adopted the economic policy of "import substitution industrialization" as a guide for their own development. These countries have begun to prepare for their own industrialization development, find new markets for their domestic products, and strive to

Get rid of political and economic dependence on hsd.

Therefore, Latin American countries have demand for the Soviet Union and countries in the socialist camp. This development demand just caters to the strategic interests of the Soviet Union. The Kremlin believes that it is necessary to grasp the current nationalism in Latin America, strengthen the local communist movement and cultivate their connection with

Close ties with Moscow.

Soviet leaders believed that an alliance of Latin American communists, left-wing and middle-class nationalist forces, allied to oppose U.S. economic control, would be frustrated by the slow pace of social progress and that they would ultimately compete in this "political contest"

"successfully obtain political power in their respective countries, or achieve decisive influence by cooperating with "progressive" military regimes (that is, military dictatorships in various countries, which is very different from the approach of the U.S. government).

In this process, in order to get rid of the United States and strive for independent development, these forces will seek the support of the Soviet Union. Therefore, the Soviet Union is the decisive force behind the national liberation movements in Latin America and the Caribbean.

In order to achieve this strategic goal, Moscow has adopted a series of measures including diplomacy, economic and trade assistance, cultural propaganda, military and political guidance, and has worked hard among the military circles, bureaucratic groups, technical circles and upper-level intellectuals in Latin America.

They are trying to cultivate "allies" and take such measures to light a fire in the "back garden" of the United States.

However, the United States paid close attention to the actions of the Soviet Union, and therefore began to turn its attention to Latin America again. Only then did they discover that due to various reasons, wars against the current right-wing governments broke out within Latin American countries, and the Soviet government and Cuba

The figure of the government is looming in it.

The Americans are naturally very clear about the thoughts of their old rivals. Therefore, they are also extremely sensitive and vigilant towards people in Latin America who are infected with the power of gcism, and they are immediately aware of it.

, was listed as a target for vigorous attack.
