Big Time 1958

"We are guarding the working class, and who is the enemy in the world! From the coast of England to Siberia, the Red Army is the most powerful in the world. For a just cause, passionate workers, united into an independent force, invincible and indestructible! It is the union of workers and peasants! Poor Chinese, unfortunate Indians, looking with hope at our union, from the British coast to Siberia, the mightiest Red Army in the world."

   Serov, who frequently toasted with his comrades, sang the military song unconsciously, which immediately became a chorus. The most powerful early version of the Red Army was also the most internationalist. The original intention of the establishment of the Soviet Union in the early days is vividly expressed in this song. The whole song is heavy and atmospheric, and there is not a single sentence that is nationalistic. Singing this song is also to let these anti-rebel workers know that the Soviet Union's adventure this time is entirely to help the third world Cuba not be invaded by the Americans, and it can stand up internationally.

   "The Red Army is the most powerful, Ula..." After the last sentence was sung, the sound of Ula resounded through the canteen.

   "Go, scare the Americans into peeing their pants, and the anti-rebel workers have nothing to fear!" Serov shouted after taking a sip of vodka.

"I'm proud to be an anti-revolutionary worker. Our mission is to sniff out and eradicate traitors!" Many anti-repression workers who looked excited raised their right hands into fists, as if they were entering the KGB on their first day, they made a solemn statement guarantee.

  Since the Americans can deploy nuclear missiles in the neighboring countries of the Soviet Union, why can't the Soviet Union do the same in Cuba? The reason for today's confrontation is that you Americans have asked for it. Serov watched Fleet A leave the port, then turned around and boarded the train back to Moscow.

  The Soviet Union would make such a move today because the Soviet Union was qualified and capable of resisting. If they are incapable, they can only protest twice through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at most. Then as if nothing happened, the default is threatened.

While Serov sent Fleet A away from the Baltic Sea, the Soviet Pacific Fleet also had its own actions in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. On a day when the sea conditions were good, a Styx anti-ship missile was launched from the land, and the anti-ship missile with a nuclear warhead accurately hit. Abandoned ship at sea. This of course has the advantages of good sea conditions, no disturbances, huge size of the ship, and so on. But it also proved that anti-ship missiles are not without combat capabilities.

The results of the    exercise were quickly delivered to the Navy Commander Marshal Gorshkov. Serov, who had just returned to Moscow, heard about this and went directly to the Ministry of Defense. Of course he was qualified to read this telegram. Serov could even spy on Khrushchev if he wanted to.

"It seems that the results are not bad. Anti-ship missiles do have the ability to fight. But the current technology is far from enough!" Marshal Gorshkov, who was holding the telegram, was not deceived by the results of the experiment. Row. Dealing with the U.S. Navy is definitely a dish, but it doesn't seem to be completely irresistible around Cuba.

"Technology will develop. We can't do anything about traditional aircraft carriers in a short time. We can only make something of our own! It's good to go in the right direction! I believe that now the Americans also know about our nuclear test." Such a big news is concealed Passing the United States was impossible, and Soviet adversaries had precise equipment to detect this nuclear test. I don't know if the other party has made an assessment of this situation. This is only a part of the Soviet Union's preparations. Even if it is nuclear blackmail, it must be serious. Sooner or later, the light gun will leak.

   Regarding the issue that the Soviet Union would break through once it was blocked by the US Navy, Marshal Gorshkov gave the following arrangement. The N-class nuclear submarine was responsible for breaking into the blockade line, and the conventional submarines cruised in the Atlantic Ocean and did not enter the area of ​​the US blockade line. Because the Soviet Union's nuclear submarines have just started, they must have the nature of crossing the river by feeling the stones. An unlikely scenario arises. The first-generation N-class nuclear submarines are not as powerful as conventional submarines from an operational point of view. Conventional submarines can currently be equipped with submarine-launched missiles, while N-class nuclear submarines cannot be refitted.

"Although there are some helpless elements. But there are also good aspects. We know that the combat capabilities of N-class nuclear submarines are underground, but the Americans do not know!" Shelov is a natural optimist to persuade, "Let the N-class nuclear submarines with higher breakthrough ability and U.S. Navy hide-and-seek, conventional submarine arrives at launch site outside the blockade to prepare…”

"Old Ivan doesn't have such a cunning style of commanding and fighting. Who did you learn this style of cheating at any time!" Marshal Gorshkov smiled helplessly with a pen, from the beginning to the present. The little guy threw one trap after another, making the Cuban Missile Crisis full of deceit from the time it didn't ferment.

   "Isn't our job like this!" Shelov spread his hands and said, "The first is to deceive others, the second is to prevent the other party from deceiving, and the third is to deceive others while preventing the other party from deceiving..."

What is this, Serov sent a telegram to Cuba a few days ago, pulling 114,000 criminals already in Cuba, including the law thief group, to put on military uniforms and take a walk around at the appropriate time. Don't Americans like to scout in the air? They will be delighted to discover that the Soviet Union has 200,000 troops in Cuba. This kind of deception Shelov will not remember specifically, since he entered the KGB to work, there have been too many.

   There will be no fake factories in the Soviet Union. If there are, it must be operated by the KGB. In fact, a large part of the factories under the KGB are counterfeiting. As long as all kinds of fake products are profitable, the KGB is imitating them. But the KGB will never sell it to its own people. As a law enforcement agency, this kind of conduct is still necessary. Serov has always paid attention to this aspect.

  In a concealed room, under various instruments, CIA agents are nervously developing the photos taken by the U2 reconnaissance plane from Cuba. Thanks to the advanced technology of the United States in this area, all the photos are very clear.

"This is?" The agent who developed the process suddenly took out one of the photos, and after careful comparison, he took the photo to the next room and called to his colleague who was on the phone, "Look what this is? "

   "Huh?" The person who saw the photo put down the phone, identified it carefully, and suddenly returned to his desk, opened the drawer, took out a photo for comparison and asked, "Is this taken from Cuba?"

After waiting for a positive answer, he took out the photos in the empty drawer for everyone to see, and said in disbelief, "SS4 medium-range ballistic missiles, I saw them during the military parade on Red Square, and I took pictures of them. How can the Soviets do this, how dare they make such an action, are they preparing to fight a nuclear war with the United States?"

  No one answered him, everyone was in shock when they heard the news, and the whole room was silent for a long time.

A few hours later, this photo appeared in the White House and handed it to Kennedy as evidence of the Soviet Union's deployment of offensive weapons in Cuba. Kennedy was recently busy preparing for the congressional election and because of the disappearance of Marilyn Monroe. Somewhat disturbed because someone said it had something to do with him.

   But Kennedy never imagined that he had just returned to the White House today and received a gift package from the Soviet Union. This gift package was so big that no other country other than the United States dared to accept it.

   "Call the Secretary of State, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Attorney General, and the FBI and CIA Director over, something important has happened!" Kennedy took a deep breath.

   Kennedy, who looked at this photo, had an indescribable feeling that he seemed to be in big trouble during his tenure. I saw only one, but how many did not see? How many nuclear missiles are stored inside the building that the United States has not seen. As long as you think deeply about this question, it has the effect of intimidating yourself.

After a while, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, the door was pushed open, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Maxwell Taylor, his brother Attorney General Kennedy, FBI Director Hoover, CIA Director John Alex Mike McCone, Secretary of State Dean Rusk, and the commanders of the Army, Navy and Air Force.

"Gentlemen, we have been deceived. The missiles that the Soviet Union shipped to Cuba were not anti-aircraft missiles. They were ballistic missiles." Kennedy took out the photo and passed it to everyone, "SS4 medium-range ballistic missiles, every one of these missiles capable of carrying millions of tons of nuclear warheads against the United States…”

"This is war, the Soviets are crazy to dare to do this!" Maxwell Taylor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, slammed the photo on the table and said, "The Air Force must be dispatched immediately to blow up this missile base that threatens the United States. Lose!"

"But we must first figure out how many missiles there are, not with a mouth!" FBI Director Hoover said coldly, "If we solve the problem without leaving the future, what if there are other places? Is the Air Force? Can you guarantee that all missiles will be destroyed at one time? If there are missiles that slip through the net, who will be responsible for this?”

"The first thing to do is to eliminate this threat. I agree with Maxwell Taylor! These communists must know that there is no good end to fighting against us!" Secretary of State Dean Rusk expressed his support for the military's attitude .

"After sending reconnaissance planes to reconnaissance all over Cuba, we need to know how many missiles are aimed at us. The military quickly evaluates the preemptive plan to see how much chance we have to eliminate the threat!" Kennedy quickly concluded. The thoughts of everyone ordered, "First of all, concentrate the military force in the southeast direction in secret, but don't make it public. I want to talk to our allies and win the support of NATO allies..." (To be continued~^~)
