"Ambassador Dobrynin, please explain to me what happened in Chile. Maybe you want to say that you don't know." Kissinger said with great dissatisfaction. This was a premeditated provocation to the United States, no doubt.
In order to deal with Allende, the United States, because of the special characteristics of Latin America, is forcing Chile step by step into the quagmire of inflation. For a country with a system like the United States, it is not easy to do this, but for the sake of Cuba
Things will never happen again, and the entire foreign affairs department remains patient.
As a result, now Cuba is using women and children as cover, causing chaos on the south coast, and is starting a purge of high-level military officials in Chile, but Dobrynin is pretending to be ignorant here. How can Kissinger believe this?
It has triggered sensitive nerves in the United States.
"Dear Secretary of State, I really don't know what you are talking about. I am a diplomat." Dobrynin replied calmly, "I want to focus on diplomacy and solve each other's problems."
The conversation between the two ended unhappily. In Kissinger's eyes, the Soviet ambassador was just pretentious, and Dobrynin was also wronged. He really didn't know what happened in Chile and was planning to ask after he left.
Kissinger had reason to be angry. The United States had calculated that the price of copper had been lowered by one-fifth, and it had paid a huge cost to suppress Chile's economy. But when it was about to bear fruit, all the previous efforts were wasted.
At this moment in Santiago, the capital of Chile, Allende's supporters were holding hands and shouting slogans in support of Allende. Although they did not know the specific details of how to smash the military coup, they believed that the president's efforts for the sake of the country had resulted in an abortion.
Singing "A united people will never be defeated..."
"Rise up, sing, we are marching towards the flag of victory and unity, we are already moving forward, you come too, march with me, you will see. The singing and the flag are flying, and the red light of dawn declares..."
"New life will come back soon. Rise up and fight, and the people will win."
"Comrade Allende, the people support you so much. This is very rare in Latin America. We support the rebels around the world, but sometimes we cannot be optimistic, and we don't even know whether our support is correct. I didn't expect it.
In Latin America, there are leaders who are specially supported."
Listening to the Soviet ambassador's words, Allende adjusted his glasses and said, "Should I thank the Soviet Union? But I still want to say that what Chile pursues is independence."
"We understand, but obviously, the United States will not let you achieve even this goal." The Soviet ambassador raised his eyebrows and said, "The president has no intention of going against the United States, but the United States cannot tolerate you. In fact, Castro did not want to fight with you back then.
The United States was confrontational, but it caused losses to American capital."
Allende was silent. The saddest part was that what the Soviet ambassador said was true. He just wanted Chile's resources to contribute to Chile's development, but the United States refused.
On September 9th, Chilean Army Commander-in-Chief Pinochet was hosting a birthday dinner for his daughter, but no one noticed that he walked out of a corner. Not long after he walked out, another man walked out of the corner.
The tall man. And this man was the commander of the Chilean Air Force. In that dark corner, Pinochet said softly: "We are ready."
Then several officers gathered in a low-key and dark office. They watched Pinochet stamping the seal of the army commander on an envelope and looking at each other. At this time, they were only in a temporary relationship.
Cooperation, in fact, each of them has their own plans for the future. But they are all right-wing soldiers who are pro-American.
Pinochet called the military leadership in the name of his daughter's birthday party. He was originally planning a coup. He did reach a consensus with the military leaders, and his daughter's birthday party was successfully concluded.
After the birthday party, the top military officials who came out of Pinochet began their lives behind bars one by one. Soon, this coup was crushed in the bud.
It sounds simple, but knowing that the coup had been planned, Allende's presidential escort was still shocked. If it had been delayed, the military would have taken action.
If the military starts a coup, perhaps the people who are now taking to the streets to support Allende will be replaced by mass demonstrations supporting the military coup.
Even Alexeyev, who reported in Lubyanka Square, secretly said that he was lucky to be able to take action at the right time. It was really lucky that he was on the side of the Soviet Union. If there was a slight time gap when formulating the plan, President Allende might be taken over.
overthrown.
"It's really a fluke." Andropov also sighed. Fortunately, when making the plan, Cuba and Chile were put into the same action at the same time. As the son of the cultural tsar said, if we put Chile's affairs first
After a while, maybe the Soviet Union is facing the Chilean military government now. "The comrades in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will definitely complain now. Comrade Gromyko said that Dobrynin was full of complaints when he called the country."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is indeed very busy right now, and the Ministry of Defense is equally busy. Because the United States seems to be angered by the events in Latin America, the Pentagon ordered the global military to enter a level three alert state. During the Cold War, the US alert state was level four. During the Cuban Missile Crisis,
, the entire U.S. military has entered a level two alert state.
During the Cold War, the United States' alert status has been at level four. The U.S. Airborne Division has been on standby and is preparing to fly to the Middle East. Fifty B-52 strategic bombers have been recalled to the United States from Guam. The third aircraft carrier task force has been dispatched to the Mediterranean.
A two-thousand-man naval detachment from the Sixth Fleet was moved to southern Crete, closer to the battlefield.
The Soviet Ministry of Defense also stated to Brezhnev that it had monitored U.S. military actions and recommended a response.
When the hostility between the United States and the Soviet Union became increasingly intense, U.S. Secretary of State Kissinger was preparing to start a visit to Europe. In terms of level, Nixon actually made more visits, but now the situation is already so tense.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But Nixon is still arguing with the judicial department, and he is the only Secretary of State to travel in place of Nixon. The Arab world also learned that the Jewish Secretary of State visited Europe, and once again issued a
The threat of an oil embargo brought a lot of extra pressure to Kissinger's trip.
Of course, Alan Wilson knew that Kissinger must be repeating the Soviet threat. When communicating with the Foreign Secretary, he also admitted that today is different from the past. The Soviet Union is no longer the same as the Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
"Because of this, the Soviet Union was not a threat."
"Oh, sir, I don't understand what you say." Foreign Secretary Patrick frowned. What does the head of the civil service mean?
"Literally speaking, precisely because the Soviet Union is really powerful, it is not a threat to world peace, but is the guardian of world peace, at least one of them." Alan Wilson said with a half-smile, "If we accuse a country of having
We will attack weapons of mass destruction if they don't exist, but if they do exist, we will live in peace."
"The truth is this." Foreign Secretary Patrick said a little embarrassedly, "But you can say it so straightforwardly, right?"
"Because the Foreign Secretary is a reliable person, there is no need to dress up this conversation with useless modifiers."
Alan Wilson expressed his reliable recognition of the Foreign Secretary, "We hope that Israel can stop the war, and we hope that Secretary Kissinger can play a constructive role in this matter. European countries are actually not rich in resources. Once they are
If the world's oil depots target it, it will be a big trouble."
Kissinger, who was about to leave for a visit to European allies, appeared at the Rockefeller Center. Nelson Rockefeller met Kissinger and expressed his best wishes for Kissinger's visit. Then the conversation changed, "Henry, actually, I gave birth to a baby recently."
I have an idea. You also know that based on the current situation, it will be difficult for Nixon to survive this storm. Maybe I have to be a candidate to take over as president. This is different from my imagination. The Republican Party has suffered this
A single turmoil may make it difficult to expect a longer term."
Nelson Rockefeller did not hide his true thoughts. He had indeed thought carefully about it and decided to bring his talents to the White House to add to the reputation of the Rockefeller family.
As the leader of a major faction of the Republican Party, Nelson Rockefeller has never been able to move into the White House as he wished because of his surname. However, he unexpectedly got such an opportunity because of Nixon's arrogant and inferior personality. Since Nixon could not survive the Watergate Incident, he must work for the Republican Party.
future considerations.
"Nelson, there are so many things going on right now. There are changes in Chile that are unfavorable to the United States. There is a war in the Middle East. Even in Europe, the United Kingdom has communicated with us several times. In and out of words, they have accused the United States of deliberately defrauding the Royal Navy.
, so that Israel can launch a war. There is also a ban on the export of military technology to Arab countries, which has added a lot of distrust between the two countries, not to mention France, which has always been against us."
Kissinger didn't want to prevent his old employer from realizing his presidential dream, but at this time? He didn't think it was a good opportunity to oust Nixon and come to power himself, wouldn't he take the blame?
Nelson Rockefeller also admitted that the current political situation can be described as internal and external difficulties, but he still did not change his decision to bring his talents to the White House. "Maybe we should think about it carefully and stabilize the pace of the United States. Maybe it is also possible to cooperate with allies."
It is inevitable. The British military in the Middle East seems to be stuck motionless in the Persian Gulf, and the current currency over-issuance problem cannot wait any longer. If you can make Britain understand the needs of the United States this time, the two countries can cooperate if it is not possible."
