Chapter 1513 Afghanistan, for example

But the effect of the Soviet Union and Germany’s coincidental efforts to make trouble in Nicaragua was also very obvious, and at this time the anxious Somoza regime adopted the strategy of dialoguing with the bourgeois opposition in an attempt to polarize the revolutionary forces that opposed him.

However, even the bourgeois opposition saw the weakness of the Somoza regime and adopted a wall-riding attitude towards it, while maintaining contact with the US embassy and the insurrectionists.

Eventually, fearing abandonment by the U.S., an enraged Somoza Jr. sent his men to openly assassinate Chamorro in the streets.

Instead of dismantling the anti-dictatorship movement throughout Nicaragua, this act further inflamed public anger and became the trigger for general strikes and demonstrations throughout the country. Supported by the traditional opposition, the Catholic Church, and representatives of the business community, the strikes and marches continued for several weeks, and a number of U.S. and Somoza family properties were burned to the ground.

Internationally, the Roman Catholic Church began to criticize the Somoza regime for human rights abuses, and the U.S. Congress was pressured to hold hearings on Somoza’s human rights abuses and misappropriation of relief aid.

Meanwhile, in other parts of the country, popular uprisings and offensives against Somoza have taken place.

On the southern border, insurgent factions attacked Peñas Blancas and Rivas from military bases in Costa Rica, while in Granada, the National Guard was immobilized in barracks besieged by the guerrillas.

In the mountains of the north, the ranks of the PPA also attacked several posts of the National Guard and organized the peasants in a struggle to seize land.

In the east, Indian villages and communities organized spontaneous uprisings. The most violent of these revolts was the one in the Monimbo area. There, homemade bombs, clubs, machetes, old rifles, pistols and even boiling water were used to expel the National Guard.

In turn, the infamous National Guard counterattacked under the cover of tanks, helicopter gunships, and armored vehicles, massacring hundreds of people. After only a few weeks, however, an even greater revolt broke out in Monimbo.

In the countryside, under the weight of popular uprisings and armed strikes that had spread throughout the country, the National Guard had long been a street rat for everyone, daring to operate in rural areas only when heavily deployed and covered by airplanes.

The situation in Nicaragua at this time, if one example is used as a comparison, is very much like the situation in the Angolan civil war, except that a certain great power really doesn’t have the ability to put its hands on Latin America.

The Socialist International in Europe, especially with the part of the country that supported the German Socialist Party, replaced a certain great power as one of the three legs of Nicaragua.

When Alan Wilson went out to the Soviet Union, he was confronted with the current situation in which the Soviet Union and Germany were jointly stabbing the Americans in the ass.

He remembers that like the Angola situation, the Soviet Union eventually took out the American and Socialist International factions to gain victory in Nicaragua.

So it makes sense that Americans are always on guard against a Russian resurgence, look at the Soviet Union at its peak, pushing its front into southern Africa and winning battles in America’s backyard, Latin America, Americans certainly don’t want even the slightest possibility of a Russian revival.

The fact that Nicaragua invited Russia to station troops in Nicaragua when Russia was fighting against Ukraine does make Russia that rival in the eyes of the US in the eyes of many countries.

Although Russia has long since been a much different country than the USSR in terms of national power, the inherent impression that the USSR was tough has been inherited quite a bit.

This country is indeed of great unification value, and Alan Wilson had to make a special trip over to explain that regarding the military cooperation between Britain and a major country, it was definitely not directed against a third party, such as the Soviet Union.

Regarding the importation of British films and the spread of culture, this matter was definitely the Culture Tsar’s word, and it wasn’t the first time Allen Wilson had come to visit the Soviet Union, expressing concern for an old friend, “Katya, take good care of your health in your old age, and also, you have a good son.”

“Sir’s personal greetings are accepted.” Foltseva knew that this was the man expressing his concern, and for the biggest result of the cooperation between the two, and a secret that could not be made public, the Culture Tsar could not respond positively, and the two then talked about cultural exchanges between the two countries, the development of each other’s cinema, and so on.

Of course, there is also the Soviet Union carefully organized the Moscow Olympics, the history of this time the Olympic Games because of the war in Afghanistan was boycotted, from a personal point of view, Alan Wilson of course do not want this scene to happen, the entire population of the Crown Dependency of Newfoundland is also not willing to, the United States if the United States does not participate in the gaming industry is still operating? If the US didn’t participate, would the betting industry work? It would be a one-man show for the USSR, and it would be a no-brainer to bet on the USSR.

With regard to the Moscow Olympics, perhaps in addition to the Soviets themselves, Newfoundlanders belong to the group that is most concerned, if there is also, the Portuguese managed Asian casinos are also quite concerned.

In the middle of a conversation with Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko, Allen Wilson expressed concern about the Soviet Union’s aggressiveness in a number of areas, when in fact he himself wasn’t too concerned, but was merely relaying American concerns, what does Britain have to worry about, the Angolan War? That was a Portuguese colony. ,

Guerrilla war in Nicaragua? That is the backyard of the Americans, I Great Britain fancy a few places, the situation in British East Africa is still quite stable, the Middle East this time the war is over also do not have to be too concerned. As for Xiangjiang Malaya, that is not the development of quite good?

Although it can not be denied that the current free world is indeed a wave to finish the rhythm, but Allen Wilson knows that Reagan has not swung the fist of seven wounds it, from the really want to finish is still very early.

Wait until Reagan raised the debt, if it still can not crush the Soviet Union, then there may really be some danger, now the danger is not fatal.

The time when people in a general sense felt the strongest sense that the free world was going to end would have been in 1979, especially when the Pahlavi dynasty was overthrown. America’s layout in the Middle East was shattered, and originally Iran was in America’s plans to be the Middle East policeman along with Israel, containing the Arab world, which was generally more pro-Soviet, from the east and west.

But the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty directly led to the collapse of the U.S. military pillars in the Middle East, and in the future in the military need to rely entirely on Israel, as for the Saudis, that weak chicken, never be considered.

The Pahlavi dynasty in Alan Wilson’s mind, maintain a more difficult, to the twentieth century, monarchies in the volume of larger countries to maintain has been very difficult. Like Saudi Arabia that was only superficially large, the whole country did not have much livable land, and the population was only 20 million people, it really can not talk about any big country.

Can really maintain, depends on the next year, at least at present there is no hint of trouble. Gromyko’s response to Britain’s concerns had nothing to do with the Soviet Union, and only Gromyko himself knew how sincere this response was.

Arikseyev was a late arrival, he appeared or was called by his mother, carrying the rank of major general, Arikseyev is undoubtedly entering a key step in his life.

Alan Wilson is also happy about this, and then thought of Albert in the German Rheinland Army service, is now only a second lieutenant, which is the gap is not a little big. Should try hard to make efforts in the military, so that his son quickly promoted.

Aliksheyev changed another department work, KGB Ninth General Directorate, now do the deputy director of the Ninth General Directorate, the Kremlin Guard Corps, to be responsible for VIP security work of the KGB Ninth General Directorate management, responsible for the Kremlin and Lenin’s Tomb and other important targets of the static security work and protocol ceremonial work, otherwise he is not good enough to come forward.

“All do a General Directorate’s number two?” Alan Wilson could not help but sigh for the good oldest son’s promotion path, although it is said that the culture tsar also has a son, but is not it a little too fast? He was embarrassed to take such care of his own son in England, and his heart to care about Albert grew stronger and stronger.

“I’m not the first deputy director.” Alikseyev shook his head, denying his old father’s claim to be number two.

“All the same!” Alan Wilson was optimistic, could the Culture Tsar still watch his son stop, did he have to take the high road and just retire early? He didn’t know that Foltseva had really thought about it.

The topic shifted to the situation in Nicaragua above, Alexeyev listening to his old father’s concerns can not help but secretly happy, this is the plan he submitted, at this time was mentioned in the mood to feel comfortable.

“Aren’t you proud of yourself?” Alan Wilson glanced at the good oldest son, suddenly opened his mouth and asked, “Messing up Latin America, creating a wave of refugees ultimately the consequences will have to be borne by the U.S. Once the Latin American countries are destabilized, the U.S. will face an invasion of illegal immigrants, isn’t that right?”

Alexeyev did not answer, thinking to himself whether he had just failed to manage his expression, and was reflecting on this when Allen Wilson asked in return, “If I were to do the same in the neighboring countries of the USSR, then the one who would have a hard time would be you, the USSR, it’s not impossible for this kind of trick to be used in turn on the USSR.”

“Impossible, at present, the Soviet Union’s neighbors are all in a stable situation, could it be Poland?” Alexeyev’s heart fluttered and he lowered his voice to retort.

“Stability, do you mean Afghanistan? This country can’t talk about stability.” The corner of Alan Wilson’s mouth curled up slightly and said, “If I had to choose, I would do it in Afghanistan.”

Alekseyev was alarmed, because the pro-Soviet officers over in Afghanistan were planning to hold a coup, and at this time his old father mentioned Afghanistan, had he already discovered something.

For a moment Alexeyev was anxious, wanting to open his mouth to inquire, but not quite daring for fear of revealing the Soviet arrangement.

“Honorable Major General, why do you look so ugly?” Alan Wilson opened his mouth to tease with a fussed look, isn’t this the good old son who wants to sniff out and root out traitors? What’s going on here?
