Chapter 1452 Global Offensive

After the victory of the Cuban Revolutionary War, the United States has been blockading and sanctioning Cuba, embargoing and subverting Cuba in a vain attempt to overthrow the Cuban regime and establish a pro-American regime. At the same time, it has continuously induced Cubans to flee the country, discredited Cuba to the world, trained Cuban anti-government elements, and recruited mercenaries in the hope of coloring out the Cuban regime.

The Americans also provided political asylum to Cuban dissidents, which led to a massive exodus to Florida after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution.

Those who were able to flee Cuba were Cubans with connections and connections, the backbone of Cuba as a nation; in the highest year, more than 100,000 people arrived in Florida from Cuba.

For a large country with a large population, the loss of 100,000 people a year may be nothing, but for a country with a population of ten million, it is a considerable loss, and the GDR couldn’t stand such an exodus of people to build the Berlin Wall.

Cuba, with a population of less than ten million, has carefully cultivated the backbone of its population, and has taken out the cost of cultivation itself, and then moistened it to the United States?

“The Cuban Situation Act reads that any Cuban who escapes from Cuba to the United States can be naturalized in the United States with one year’s residence. We have over 200,000 prisoners in Cuba in local labor rehabilitation. I see that they can also make Cubans if necessary.”

Foltseva referred to the Cuban Situation Act enacted by the U.S. “Since the U.S. opened itself up, we’ll give them enough people at once, which would be a burden for us anyway.”

“That suggestion?” Suslov pushed up his glasses and organized his words before commenting in an uncertain tone, “Very challenging, we have to stay out of it and show that it was Castro’s personal act and that the Soviets had absolutely no knowledge of it.”

“Comrade Castro is a brave man, he is an indomitable fighter.” As soon as Foltseva heard that, Suslov was agreeing, and then said in an expectant tone, “Nixon would have been caught up in the Watergate scandal, and the landing of a large number of stowaways would surely have thrown American politics into disarray, and with the attack under North Vietnam, and the almost-arriving war in the Middle East, let’s think about how to take the opportunity to calm down the situation in Chile. I’m sure even the US can’t possibly defend itself against all of the above.”

“But what about Britain?” Ustinov spoke up and asked, “You know that when the Bay of Bengal confrontation took place, Britain also looked like it had nothing to do with it at first. Diplomatically, it refused to mediate the Indo-Pakistani problem, and likewise refused Washington’s request for assistance, but waited until it could intervene, and did so quickly and hatefully. I am sure that Washington was very shocked by that strike.”

Marshal Ustinov, as the current Soviet Defense Minister, referred to the naval standoff in Bengal, and argued that the United States could not be considered only as an adversary, and that the British factor could not be shaved off; after all, the USSR had already been robbed of its chicken by the British once, during the standoff in the Bay of Bengal.

The U.S. Navy and the Soviet Union Red Navy in the Bay of Bengal sword standoff for such a long time, the results of the British Royal Navy to take advantage of the opportunity to land in the port of Chittagong, but also a look of popularity, accepted the invitation of the Bangladesh People’s League, the maintenance of stability and reconstruction of Bangladesh, face and face are on the British to get, the stage is still the U.S. and the Soviet Union set up a good, which how to let the Soviet Union to accept?

The Soviet Union maintained the security of India, forced away the U.S. fleet, a victory, but the ultimate victory is still the British, if the matter ends here, it would be fine, but then the Soviet Union because of the reduction in food production, had to once again turn to the United Kingdom, and hitched another batch of raw materials for the reconstruction of Bangladesh, once again, for the United Kingdom’s glorious image of the stage.

“Comrade Ustinov, Britain has not said so explicitly, but we all know that Britain cannot part with its interests in the Persian Gulf and has always sided with the Arab countries in practical terms.” Gromyko, who had just been added to the top leadership in April, expressed his opinion at this time.

Because of the diplomatic issues involved, as foreign minister Gromyko could not be silent, Gromyko’s addition replaces the first secretary of the Ukrainian party committee, Shelist.

“It’s not impossible to consider, comrades, the situation this year has never been more complicated, and it’s by no means as calm as it appears.” Brezhnev spoke up at this point, preventing a dispute between the foreign and defense ministers, and he was also taking precautions, “Our decisions, which determine the situation of the struggle in the coming years, if not decades, must be made to smooth out the situation in these potential locations.”

Despite the words, it was clear to everyone present that Brezhnev had not vetoed Foltseva’s earliest proposal, and that Brezhnev was quite willing to acquiesce in the idea of shocking the United States a bit through emigration, as long as Castro played the role of the indomitable fighter.

The question returned to the question that had begun, whether the Soviet Union was going to break bread with the United States in the Americas, the backyard of the U.S. The last time was the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Soviet Union had to acquiesce in a nominal victory for the U.S. This time around, if it was in Chile, would it be possible to achieve victory? This is a big question.

Seeing so many hot spots to focus on the outbreak of the current, where to focus, where to attack is naturally the core of this discussion. The Soviet Union has always wanted to reach the United States, not always willing to set fire to the Eurasian continent, they go to extinguish the fire in the Americas have a presence, so that the U.S. mainland feel the situation of the Soviet Union’s mainland is Moscow has been pursuing, otherwise there would not be the Cuban Missile Crisis.

As long as Cuba still exists, the Cuban Missile Crisis Soviet Union can not talk about a complete failure, and now it is clear that there may be a second country to be used, Brezhnev’s heart stupid.

As Brezhnev promoted the heart of the same just entered the top leadership of the Moscow city party committee first secretary of the Grishin, of course, know the number one person in the heart of what is thinking, only in the way of the identity of the supreme leader, as well as the habit of making the final concluding statement did not speak out.

This time she needs to speak, Grishin also did not avoid, directly said, “does not need what the primary and secondary issues, whether it is the Middle East, Southeast Asia or Chile in Latin America, the liberation movement in Southern Africa, each is very important, and each needs to be fully promoted. As a matter of fact, comrades can see that the United States is so consumed by the Vietnam War that there is a degenerate generation within the United States, and citizens are no longer proud to join the military. The idea of depravity, spawned by drugs, is corrupting the whole society.”

“Hippies are appearing on all corners, unjust wars have destroyed the trust between citizens and the government, while the entire Soviet Union is thriving and is making great strides towards victory.”

Brezhnev nodded imperceptibly, what Grishin had said was exactly what he had wanted to say, but of course that wasn’t all, Suslov, as a theorist, was more than ready to speak at this point.

Theorists do not really need to speak to make people understand, taking a stand is more important than making people understand, at the moment when multiple hotspots are about to explode, Suslov spoke with the time dimension, the

The importance of the time dimension lies in the fact that it is a critical factor in the pacing of strategy. Proper time setting can make the strategy execution process unhurried and robust.

An inappropriate time setting will make the actors lose their momentum or lose their slack, thus affecting the overall strategy execution.

The combination of the time dimension and the nature of the objectives allows us to categorize strategic objectives into four categories: rigid objectives with time constraints, flexible objectives with time constraints, rigid objectives without time constraints, and flexible objectives without time constraints. The time dimension is also closely related to the phenomenon of strategic goal deviation.

Actors either try to reach their goals ahead of time or try to increase the level of their goals, in either case, essentially reflecting the actor’s eagerness to achieve. Research has shown that exaggerated external threats, windows of opportunity, and unexpected events are important factors that contribute to the emergence of the goal drift phenomenon.

“The problem of coupling the time dimension with strategic goals can arise in the strategic planning and implementation of any country. Of course, if this problem arises in a large country, the consequences can have a much greater impact on international relations. Now that it is clear that we have the determination and perseverance to promote, changes in favor of the proletariat and against imperialism, we certainly cannot let the opportunity pass.”

Gray Bishop Suslov, coming down at length, provided the theoretical underpinnings for a comprehensive, proactive offensive strategy, which was exactly what Brezhnev wanted to hear.

“In the current international situation, the Soviet Union must fulfill the mission entrusted to us by history with a positively proactive mentality. The world is watching us, and we should give the world a good look.” Brezhnev said in his usual gentle tone, “There are times when we should give them a good look, too.”

There was no need to differentiate between any primary and secondary issues, all issues were primary issues, Brezhnev saw all the problems in the United States because of the Vietnam War, and wasn’t prepared to watch the United States jumping up and down, this time the Soviet Union was going to turn its defense into an offense, so that the Americans could also experience what the Soviet Union had been feeling for a long time.

Foltseva sighed in his heart, Brezhnev from the rise to power after the heart of the global offensive strategy, and now finally is to be put into action. Things come to a head Foltseva heart complex, uneasy? The truth is that there is also some, but more as a relief, there is always such a day, sooner or later will come.

“The strategy of détente is of course what we seek, there is no doubt about it, but comrades, it was gotten by virtue of the Soviet Union’s position of strength.” Brezhnev still maintained the habit of speaking gently and not shouting, “We are not trying to destroy the United States, but the United States, as well as all the imperialist countries, can only understand the one language of strength, so let’s speak with the strength that is able to cross all language barriers.”

Brezhnev’s words just fell, the whole conference room filled with applause, the Soviet Union’s global offensive strategy, from after this meeting will become a consensus, and steadfastly pursued.
