Li Cong and Li Er have already met about this matter, and both of them are very concerned about this matter. In the past, this old beauty only had to put a nail at the door of someone else's house, but now we can also put it at the door of their house.

Damn it. Although the Energy Group had its own military base in Argentina in South America in the past, missile troops could not be deployed there. Without missiles, the strike distance would be reduced a lot. Now it is at your doorstep.

I have acquired a guided missile destroyer. Although I may not dare to do anything to you, but at least it will make you unable to sleep at night.{http:

Cuba's official name is the Republic of Cuba (Spanish: repu

licadecu

a), is an archipelago country in the northern Caribbean of the Americas. It is located south of Florida in the United States, east of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, north of Jamaica and the Cayman Islands, and west of Haiti and the Turks and Caicos Islands. Cuba

The gongchan party is the only legal political party in the country. The disintegration of the Soviet Union and the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance and the U.S. embargo dealt a huge blow to Cuba's economy. Faced with this economic crisis, Cuba gradually liberalized its economy and the country allowed

It promoted the development of private enterprise commerce and handicrafts, legalized U.S. dollar transactions in 2004, and abolished the policy of allowing U.S. dollars to circulate. Tourism has also developed.

It’s not that Li Cong didn’t know about the Cuban Missile Crisis back then, but today’s society is different from before.

The Cuban Missile Crisis was an extremely serious political and military crisis that broke out between the United States, the Soviet Union and Cuba in 1962 during the Cold War. The direct cause of the incident was the deployment of missiles by the Soviet Union in Cuba. This incident is regarded as the peak and turning point of the Cold War.

.In the history of the world, mankind has never stood so close to the edge of a nuclear war. In 1962, a Cuban missile crisis occurred in the Caribbean that shocked the world. This crisis almost triggered a nuclear war. Putting the world in a

This is a critical moment. Since mankind entered the nuclear age, during the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union and the fierce struggle for world hegemony, no crisis has reached such a thrilling level. During the long Cold War years, the United States has used nuclear weapons four times.

The idea of ​​nuclear bombs. Among the four verges of nuclear war, only the Cuban Missile Crisis was the most imminent, with the United States and the Soviet Union hovering near the nuclear bomb button.

The United States regarded Cuba as a springboard and base for the Soviet Union's expansion in the Western Hemisphere, and intensified its policy of hostility to Cuba. After the breakdown of U.S.-Cuba relations, especially after Castro announced in May 1961 that Cuba would follow the path of socialism, the Soviet Union stepped up efforts to improve it.

Relations with Cuba. The Soviet Union provided political, diplomatic and economic support to Cuba. In early July 1962, Cuban Defense Minister Raul Castluo visited the Soviet Union and received a warm welcome. The United States believed that during this visit, the Soviet Union

Cuba and Cuba explored cooperation in the military field, and the Soviet Union promised to provide military assistance to Cuba.

On August 31, the United States saw from aerial photos taken by reconnaissance aircraft that Cuba began to install Soviet anti-aircraft missiles. It also saw Soviet ships carrying surface-to-surface missiles heading to Cuba. On September 4, the White House issued a statement

Affirmed newspaper reports about Soviet military assistance to Cuba, including the installation of missiles and about 3,500 Soviets providing technical services in the island country. The Soviet Union flatly denied the U.S. comments and reports. Soviet leader Khrushchev sent a letter to Kennedy

, and promised not to do anything that would harm international relations and relations between the two countries before the mid-term elections in the U.S. Congress. The TASS News Agency also issued a statement on September 11, denying that the Soviet Union had transported offensive weapons to Cuba because “the Soviet Union has

"the ability to provide support to any peace-loving country." At this time, Kennedy did not believe that the weapons provided by the Soviet Union to Cuba constituted a serious threat to the United States, and that the U.S. government did not need to take preemptive measures. But he emphasized that as long as this threat

If Cuba emerges or becomes a base for the Soviet Union to attack the Western Hemisphere, the United States will take decisive measures to counterattack.

Later, after October, there were constant reports in the United States that the Soviet Union had established a medium-range missile base in Cuba. The Kennedy administration strengthened its aerial reconnaissance and surveillance of Cuba. On October 14, the Americans used U2 reconnaissance aircraft to obtain information about the Soviet Union's presence in Cuba.

Evidence that Cuba has built six medium-range missile bases. This material was delivered to Kennedy on the 16th, and Kennedy held an emergency National Security Council meeting to study countermeasures. The meeting started at 11:45 am on the 16th and lasted until the afternoon of the 20th. Attend the meeting

Among them were Kennedy, Vice President Johnson, Secretary of State Rusk, Secretary of Defense McNamara, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Taylor, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency McCone. In addition, there were Kennedy's brother Robert Kennedy, Secretary of the Treasury Clarence Kennedy.

Douglas Dillon, Assistant to the President for International Affairs Bondi, the U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union, and senior staff from the Department of Defense, State Department, and White House also attended the meeting. The Executive Committee of the National Security Council was formed under the leadership of President Kennedy, with full authority to handle matters related to Cuba.

The key issue was to force the Soviet Union to withdraw its medium-range missiles from Cuba. Kennedy finally made a choice: to implement a blockade. The U.S. government carried out active activities for this purpose, strengthening the U.S. military posture in the region and seeking diplomatic support at the same time.

At 6 p.m. on October 22, Rusk notified the Soviet ambassador to the United States of the decision to blockade. At 6:15, the ambassadors of Western countries in Washington received notifications about the blockade from the U.S. government. At 7:00 and 7:30, Kennedy

Delivering a televised speech. Kennedy pointed out that the missile bases built in Cuba could hit most cities in the Western Hemisphere and constituted "a clear threat to the peace and security of all American countries." The Soviet Union's "secret, rapid and unusual attack on Cuba"

The "build-up" was a "premeditated, provocative and unjustified action to change the status quo," which was completely unacceptable to the United States. Kennedy strongly called on Khrushchev to "cease and cancel his commitment to world peace and the stability of our two countries."

This "reckless and provocative threat to the secret relations" demanded that the Soviet Union abandon its plans for world hegemony, end its dangerous arms race, withdraw its missiles from Cuba and exercise restraint.

On October 24, the fleet carrying out the mission sailed into the blockade zone under the escort of 68 air force squadrons and 8 aircraft carriers. The United States also assembled the largest landing force since the war. The strategic air force entered a state of combat readiness.

The United States also carried out a series of diplomatic activities to win support from allies and the international community. On October 23, the Organization of American States held a meeting, and the United States' blockade policy was approved. The United States

The ambassador to the United Nations requested an emergency meeting of the Security Council to discuss the "dangerous threat to world peace and security" caused by the deployment of Soviet missiles in Cuba.

Facing Kennedy's blockade and intimidation, the Soviet Union's attitude changed dramatically. The Soviet Union initially took a tough stance and returned the U.S. blockade note to the U.S. Embassy in the Soviet Union as an unacceptable document. On October 23, the Soviet government issued a statement,

It warned the U.S. government that "any reckless play with fire will bear serious responsibility for the fate of peace." The Soviet government called on governments and peoples of all countries to "strongly protest the U.S. aggression against Cuba and other countries, resolutely condemn these actions and prevent the U.S. government from launching a thermonuclear war."

The Soviet government instructed its representative to the United Nations to propose convening a Security Council meeting to discuss the United States' "violation of the United Nations Charter and threats to peace." At the same time, the Soviet Union accelerated the construction of missile bases in Cuba.

Under the pressure of the powerful U.S. offensive, the Soviet Union began to retreat. But it also proposed some conditions for bargaining. On the 24th, the United States was informed that 12 Soviet ships bound for Cuba had stopped moving forward. On the 26th, several Soviet ships that had been inspected by the U.S. Navy

The ship and the ship it borrowed passed the blockade. On the same day, the Soviet Union sent a message that if the United States promised not to invade Cuba, the Soviet Union could withdraw the missiles. 1(1) The U.S. State Department was interested in this. On the 27th, Helu

In his letter to Kennedy, Khrushchev reiterated that the Soviet Union provided weapons to Cuba "only to strengthen its defense capabilities, because Cuba does not possess any weapons." Khrushchev said that the deployment of missiles by the United States in countries surrounding the Soviet Union really made him feel uneasy.

Khrushchev suggested that "we agree to withdraw from Cuba what you consider offensive means. Agree to achieve this and declare this guarantee at the United Nations. The American representative needs to state that the United States, taking into account the security and anxiety of the Soviet Union, will withdraw from Turkey

"Use this method of your own"; the Soviet Union pledged to make a statement within the Security Council respecting the inviolability of Turkey's territory and sovereignty. He emphasized that the United States should also issue a similar statement. Kennedy made a statement on the 27th regarding Khrushchev's private letter to him.

In response, the United States agreed to "immediately lift the quarantine measures currently in place" and "provide means not to attack Cuba" if the Soviet Union withdrew its weapon systems from Cuba under the observation and supervision of the United Nations and promised not to transport them into Cuba.

"Guarantee". Robert Kennedy met with the Soviet ambassador. He asked the Soviet Union to withdraw missiles from Cuba within 48 hours, saying that "the United States cannot make a decision to withdraw missiles in Turkey under the pressure of threats", giving itself a diplomatic advantage with its Western allies.

It caused adverse effects internally. He told the ambassador that "President Kennedy had long been eager to withdraw these missiles from Turkey." On October 28, Khrushchev publicly replied to Kennedy in a radio speech that the Soviet government ordered "the dismantling of your claim that

"As offensive weapons, they were packaged and shipped back to the Soviet Union." In this open letter, Khrushchev reiterated that "the Soviet government has provided economic assistance and weapons to the Cuban government because Cuba and its people have been constantly threatened by the invasion of Cuba.

". Khrushchev condemned the intrusion of US aircraft into the airspace of the Soviet Union and Cuba, but expressed his willingness to agree to exchange views with Kennedy to jointly ease international tensions. The Kennedy administration believed that the main goal of the Cuban missile issue was to force the Soviet Union to withdraw its missiles and eliminate them.

The military threat to the United States has been reached. Both the Soviet Union and the United States took measures to fulfill their commitments, and the Cuban Missile Crisis became history.

As early as the early 19th century, Americans held high the banner of the Monroe Doctrine, shouted the slogan of America for Americans, and managed Americans in America. The United States regarded America as its forbidden territory and did not allow others to interfere. The Spanish forces were driven away.

For more than a hundred years, no country has dared to stroke Uncle Sam's beard in America. Khrushchev was the first. Li Cong was even the second. But compared to Khrushchev, Li Cong was still a bit

The shortcomings are that what they have deployed are nuclear weapons, and the energy group has only set up a few bases at the southern tip of America.

Cuba and the United States are close to each other across the sea. Latin America is the backyard of the United States, and Cuba is a thorn in the backyard of the United States. The Soviet Union used Cuba as a bridgehead extending into the depths of the West. In the context of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States, it was located in the Caribbean

Within the traditional sphere of influence of the United States at sea, the deployment of missiles by the Soviet Union in the small island country of Cuba will make the United States feel like a thorn in its back. The Soviet government recognizes the importance of Cuba's strategic position to the United States and realizes how painful this issue is for the United States. Li

Cong and Li Er also saw this. That's why they chose Cuba, and their tough attitude was to make the Americans see clearly that if they continue to create giant squids, the energy group will choose war to solve the problem.

.

Li Cong knew very well what Khrushchev was thinking back then. Khrushchev may have also known that he might face a serious military conflict, but after thinking about it, he felt that this big gamble was still worth a try. Khrushchev's plan was,

Secretly deploy nuclear missiles in Cuba, and strive to complete this task before the United States discovers them. In this way, even if the United States discovers and takes measures to destroy them, it will not be afraid, because as long as there are 110 missiles left, they can deal a fatal blow to the United States. They are targets of

Targeted at a specific group of American cities. If launched, 8 million Americans would die within minutes. Khrushchev may have concluded that the Americans were too timid and that Kennedy was a weak president and did not dare to risk a nuclear war.

Once the Americans actually face these missiles, they will not do anything else except protest. In this way, the Americans will appear weak and indecisive in front of the world, causing the allies to not believe the words of the United States and seek to pursue

The rapprochement with the Soviets, in particular by allowing gongchan influence in Latin America, for blackmail purposes. The Soviet Union believed that "the use of low-cost, short-range nuclear weapons in a conflict confined to Cuba would not provoke large-scale nuclear retaliation against the Soviet Union"

". This does not mean that whenever there is aggression, nuclear weapons will be used. Maybe the Soviets will go into the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare, just like Castro once fought, leaving nuclear weapons and missiles behind them. Maybe the Americans will not allow

Launch an attack, thereby allowing the Soviets to retreat with dignity. Perhaps Khrushchev will tolerate the overthrow of Castro and the humiliation of the Red Army. Putting nuclear missiles under the noses of the Yankees, Khrushchev seems out of the question.

With a breath of bad breath, a landmine was finally planted at the door of the United States, which changed the world's perspective from the Eastern Hemisphere to the Western Hemisphere. However, he did not expect that a great uproar would be caused, and the war crisis also threatened the Soviet Union. Khrushchev also

He posed a difficult problem for himself. The final result was something he didn't expect.

The Cuban Missile Crisis prompted the Kremlin to determine to vigorously develop nuclear weapons, change its disadvantages, and wash away the "shame of cowardice". Sure enough, by the end of the 1960s, the Soviet Union caught up with the United States, and the Soviet Union gradually turned to the offensive in the global competition.

In the aftermath of the missile crisis, the arms race intensified, but it was dealt with under an increasingly sophisticated system, and competition was codified in formal agreements, such as the 1963 Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

The 1968 Non-Proliferation Treaty and the 1972 Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty, as well as the equally important informal memorandum of understanding that both sides tolerated satellite reconnaissance. By the late 1970s, the Cold War had become more intense and prolonged.

, reaching the level of a superpower. It affects the entire "peaceful" international system.

After the missile crisis, the whole world also saw clearly the truth that the Soviet Union was weaker than the United States. Li Cong also attached great importance to the following matters. He could not let the Americans stand up twice in the same place, so this time the Americans did not care

What kind of army must be deployed? The base of the Energy Group must be established. Although it has not yet been announced to the world, as long as the idea of ​​​​the Energy Group is raised, it is estimated that some large forces in the world will know about it.

Before Vice President Porter of the Skull and Bones Society took off from the airport in the United States, something they did not expect happened. The Energy Group's Atlantic First Squadron officially visited Cuba. The First Squadron, including two huge battleships,

It is definitely the largest fleet in the Atlantic region. It has three 180,000-ton super aircraft carriers, each with 255 carrier-based aircraft, three 150,000-ton arsenal ships, and six 100,000-ton medium-sized aircraft carriers.

There are 97 carrier aircraft, 11 60,000-ton escort aircraft carriers, each with 42 aircraft, 15 helicopter carriers, each carrying 11 helicopters, 55 20,000-ton guided missile cruisers, and 80 12,800-ton destroyers.

There are 110 ton-class frigates, 75 submarines of various types, and an astonishing more than 500 small warships of various types. Of course, if they all came, Cuba would be overwhelmed. Only two of them came to Cuba this time.

The 10,000-ton medium-sized aircraft carrier, the auxiliary warships include two 40,000-ton amphibious landing ships, six escorting submarines with a displacement of 10,000 tons, two guided missile cruisers, six guided missile destroyers, eight frigates and dozens of small ships of various types

warships and two 100,000-ton supply ships.

Speaking of this supply ship, it is also very amazing. Supply ships from all over the world require them to load as much as possible, and they are absolutely not required to move at the same speed as the combat troops. However, the energy group forcefully put this

Having done that, he can drive as fast as the aircraft carrier can. Of course, the result of this is that it is not that easy to sneak attack the supply ship of the Energy Group fleet. Moreover, the supply ship also has certain self-protection capabilities.

At least it is impossible for the navies of some rubbish countries to fish in troubled waters.

The current fleet has just left the Mediterranean and is preparing to cross the Atlantic. After they started a 28-knot cruise, the three nuclear submarines in the Atlantic Fleet lost their traces. The Skull and Bones Society directly gave the Navy an order to let the Navy's second

The fleet is ready.

The 2nd Fleet was established in 1945 and was called the 8th Fleet at the time. It was the strategic reserve of the Atlantic Fleet and was renamed to its current name in 1947. On February 25, 1973, the Atlantic anti-submarine force was merged into the 2nd Fleet. The fleet was deployed in the United States

On the east coast of the mainland, its headquarters is located in Norfolk, Virginia. It is under the command of the Atlantic Fleet Commander in terms of combat and logistics management. Since its establishment, the 2nd Fleet has participated in many important combat operations. In 1962, it participated in the

The naval blockade of Cuba; in 1989, it participated in the invasion of Panama; in 1990, it participated in the naval blockade of Colombia; in 1993, it participated in the Haitian crisis. The 2nd Fleet’s activity area includes the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. It is a NATO strike force responsible for the Atlantic Ocean

Anti-submarine missions in the sea area, and also responsible for maritime combat missions in the Caribbean and Central American waters. The responsibilities of the Fleet Commander are to plan, organize and implement the operations of the combat forces within the Atlantic Headquarters area according to the instructions, and support the designated joint command; according to the instructions of the Atlantic Fleet Commander

, command and control the actions and exercises of designated forces, conduct sea voyages and other special military operations, and maximize the fleet's combat readiness; plan training and exercises for various types of ships; and participate in joint exercises according to instructions.

The flagship of the 2nd Fleet is the amphibious command ship USS Mount Whitney, and it regularly provides rotation ships to the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean, organized into 10 task forces. Namely: Task Force 20, Task Force 21
