Chapter 1224 Please compromise, I will pay the compensation (Second update, please subscribe)

Well, Nanyang has once again become the "right hand of the free world".

As the "right hand of the free world", Nanyang is very dedicated in contributing to the free world. For example, a month ago, Nanyang dispatched the Friendship aircraft carrier, the Taiping amphibious assault ship, six destroyers, the Qinglong nuclear submarine and several auxiliary ships to participate in NATO's maritime military exercises in the North Atlantic.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to improve their own joint combat capabilities through military exercises with NATO countries. After all, only in an open and transparent military exercise scenario can we truly see our own level, rather than claiming to be the king behind closed doors and entertaining ourselves.

Therefore, the South China Sea has always been very concerned about joint military exercises, especially the navy as an international military force. Not only did it participate in military exercises in the Pacific, it also took the initiative to participate in exercises in the North Atlantic, and took the initiative to contribute to the free world.

It is precisely through such training that the combat effectiveness of the Nanyang Navy and the Naval Aviation is still extremely impressive, especially
On April 4, after the end of the NATO joint military exercise, the special fleet ended its visit to the United Kingdom and headed towards the United States. It planned to return to the South China Sea through the Pacific Ocean via the Panama Canal after visiting the United States, thus completing the first round-the-world voyage of the South China Sea naval fleet.

However, just as they were about to complete the Navy's first fleet-scale circumnavigation, a secret telegram from the Navy Department immediately put the fleet into combat readiness. The fleet, which had already arrived less than 200 nautical miles east of New York, immediately turned around and headed for the Caribbean Sea.

However, when the fleet was heading towards Cuba, it refueled at the Mayport base.

When the USS Friendship was refueling, U.S. Navy pilots came aboard for a visit.

"This must be the F2 fighter!"

Looking at this fighter with its nose down and a wide cockpit view, most of the American pilots were envious. This is the second supersonic fighter in the Western world after the F104 fighter, although its speed has just reached 2 times the speed of sound. However, during the North Atlantic military exercise, it taught the US Navy a lesson with its advanced radar and excellent maneuverability - not only did it defeat the US carrier-based aircraft formation many times by a large margin, but it also "attacked" US aircraft carriers many times.

In short, in this North Atlantic military exercise, the F2 fighter is definitely the most handsome one. Even on the other side of the ocean, pilots know through radio and other channels that this new fighter is very powerful.

Jumping out of the cockpit of the F2 fighter, Frank asked:

“Are you going to teach the Cubans a lesson?”

Yang Tian said directly:
"Yes, if they don't accept the ultimatum!"

"That's great. We must teach them a lesson."

Frank waved his fist and said:

"Before, the whole world was laughing at the United States. This time, you must help us vent our anger! Let those guys flying Russian planes know how powerful we are!"

Russian planes!

In the past year, Cuba has obtained a large number of Russian weapons through the Czech Republic and other countries. Although they have obtained a large number of light and heavy weapons including tanks, they have not obtained any aircraft.

In the "Bay of Pigs Incident", the British-made "Sea Fury" played a decisive role. However, this did not prevent American pilots from imagining "Russian aircraft".

In fact, there is not a single MiG fighter in Cuba now. The only ones that can be used for combat are 9 Sea Fury fighters - the propeller ones.

In comparison, the USS Friendship has 36 F2 fighters on board, and they are fighters that fly at twice the speed of sound.

On May 5, after the fleet completed fuel replenishment and received 2 tons of bombs provided by the US military, the fleet left the Mayport base and headed towards Cuba.

After arriving off the coast of Cuba, the fleet immediately began military exercises, and designated the entire northern coast of Cuba as the exercise area. During the exercise, aviation and navigation controls were implemented, and aircraft were prohibited from boarding the ship.

This was basically an embargo. During this period, Nanyang planes flew into Cuban airspace many times.

It looks like they are sharpening their knives to attack Cuba. Such a scene naturally makes everyone think of how Nanyang dealt with Siam in the past?

The so-called military exercises were just preparations for the next invasion, and the war of words at the United Nations became more intense.

Nanyang ignored all the condemnations and accusations, but repeatedly sent a signal to the world through the UN General Assembly - it would never allow any country to confiscate other countries' investments through so-called "nationalization".

"We will firmly defend international business rules and use all necessary means to safeguard our interests."

Unlike the United States, which firmly denies that it invaded Cuba, Nanyang is telling the world in every possible way that if our interests are violated, we will definitely invade.

On the morning of the second day of the exercise, Yang Tian received the order just after his plane was catapulted from the aircraft carrier.

Into the skies above Havana!
"understand!"

The moment he received the order, Yang Tian pushed the super gravity and flew directly towards Havana.

In this way, the four planes flew directly into Cuban airspace and directly into the airspace above its capital.

Just a few minutes later, air raid sirens sounded in Havana. When the air raid sirens rang throughout the city, many people in Chinatown stood up.

Standing on the roof, in the yard, or on the street, everyone just looked up at the sky.

Suddenly someone shouted loudly.

"Look, it's our plane, the Nanyang plane."

People looked up at the sky and shouted excitedly. Some people also said with worry.

"Oh, I don't think the Cuban planes will fly up to intercept them."

Although the air defense sirens rang through the sky, it was somewhat unexpected that the Cuban Air Force, which had been so powerful in the Bay of Pigs incident, seemed to have disappeared.

There weren't any Cuban planes in the sky.

Even the anti-aircraft guns on the ground seemed to have disappeared.

Yang Tian flew over Havana in a fighter plane. After circling the city, he reported to the fleet:

"My plane flew into unmanned territory and no Cuban air force intercepted us."

As he finished speaking, he heard the somewhat reluctant words of his comrades in arms through the headset.

"Oh my, what's wrong with these Cubans? Why are they all so cowardly?"

In this way, the F2 fighter jet was showing off in the sky over Havana as if there was no one around.

On this day, the sky belongs to Nanyang.

On the ground, in Chinatown, those Chinese once again felt unprecedented confidence half a century later.

Whenever a plane flew across the sky, they would always cheer towards the sky, just like the approaching warships half a century ago.

Their cheers stood in stark contrast to the groans of many Cubans.

All Cuba gained on that day was humiliation and helplessness.

Havana.

"They are invading! It's a naked invasion!" The commander-in-chief shouted while holding a big cigar:
"We will never succumb to the pressure of invaders. We can defeat the Americans, and we can also defeat the Nanyang people."

In fact, he was also making preparations. On the day of the military exercise in Southeast Asia, the commander-in-chief had already ordered mobilization and delivered a speech, requiring all Cubans to be prepared to resist the invasion of foreign colonialists.

The Cubans were now united in their hatred of the enemy, but even so, he did not order the South Asian planes to be fired at because he knew that they were provoking him.

If they fight back, they will have an excuse to invade.

But when it comes to words, he will never admit defeat!

"Yes, if they dare to bomb, then all Tang people will be arrested as "enemy spies"!"

Another official added.

"Mr. Ambassador, if we can wipe out the American mercenaries in 72 hours, we will definitely be able to crush the Nanyang invasion plot once again!"

In the face of the commander-in-chief's tough attitude, Kornovich, the Soviet ambassador, said:

"Commander-in-Chief, you must understand that Nanyang is different from the United States. The United States may have some scruples, but Nanyang will never have any scruples. To them, the UN Charter is simply a piece of waste paper."

It's not waste paper, can it be thrown into the trash can?

If the threat was from the United States, Konovich would not think there was anything scary about it, but the problem is Nanyang...those guys in Nanyang are really daring!
"For the United States, it still needs to disguise itself in front of peace-loving people around the world and dare not blatantly invade an independent country. However, it is different in Southeast Asia. For the sake of profit, they once invaded Siam, of course, in the name of being invited. Now, they come here in the name of protecting overseas Chinese. If they don't get a satisfactory answer, they will definitely not give up."

Moscow knows Southeast Asia very well. As it is determined to bring Cuba into the Soviet camp, Moscow does not want to lose the big picture for the small. After all, this is the backyard of the United States. Soviet aircraft deployed here can fly to the U.S. mainland in just a few tens of minutes.

It is for this reason that Cuba has now become the focus of Moscow's work, especially after the "Bay of Pigs Incident", when Cuba has decided to fully turn to the Soviet Union. Under such circumstances, Moscow will never allow Cuba to become the second "Siam".

That is why Moscow hopes Cuba will compromise.

"What will they do? A full-scale invasion? With such a small army?"

Guevara asked in reply:

"There are only a few hundred marines on their ship, but we have tens of thousands of troops. We are fully confident that we can defeat them!"

In the face of these guys' stubbornness, Kornovich said:
"They have planes, and they are the best in the world. They only need to use carrier-based aircraft to destroy your air force and then occupy your ports. Soon, all opposition parties will stand on their side. My comrades, you must understand that compared to the entire Cuba, those overseas Chinese and their property in Southeast Asia are simply not worth mentioning."

"But Mr. Ambassador, this is compromising with the imperialists!"

Guevara said loudly:
"Such compromise is surrender. We must never surrender to them, otherwise, the whole of Cuba will become a laughing stock of the world."

"A temporary compromise is for a greater victory!"

Facing the ambassador's persuasion, the bearded commander thought for a while and said:
"Mr. Ambassador, we don't have that much US dollars to compensate them,"

"That's no problem. We can negotiate with them. As long as we ease the situation and handle this matter through diplomatic means, we can always buy more time."

Looking at the people in front of him, Kornovich continued:

"Once the Soviet army arrives and you have more modern weapons, the initiative will be in our hands!"

In fact, as far as Moscow is concerned, they hope that the United States will put pressure on Cuba. Only in this way will Cuba agree to the Soviet Union establishing a military base in Cuba. After all, for Havana, only the Soviet Union can protect them from US invasion.

As long as the Soviet Union is stationed in Cuba, it will not become the second Siam.

"And considering that Cuba does have some economic difficulties, we will purchase 20 million tons of sugar from Cuba at a price 200% higher than the international market price. At the same time, we will provide you with gasoline and diesel at a price 50% lower than the international market price."

This was the bait thrown by the Soviets to make them compromise. In addition to these preferential trades, they even expressed their willingness to provide loans. It must be said that in order to completely pull Cuba into their camp, the Soviet Union was very willing to invest.

However, although the capital can be invested, one thing must be ensured - Cuba's existence will not be destroyed by Southeast Asia because of some insignificant things.

The lesson of Siam’s demise is a warning to us!

After thinking for a moment, the commander-in-chief continued:
"What about the expatriates? They have a lot of gold and dollars in their hands. They belong to the entire Cuban people. How can we let them take them away?"

Faced with the commander-in-chief's question, Kornovich even had some complaints in his heart - the Soviet Union has expressed its willingness to provide you with a loan, so why are you still staring at such a small amount of money?

"This is a concession that must be made, Comrade Commander-in-Chief. If you agree, the Soviet Union is willing to mediate."

Silently smoking a cigar, the atmosphere in the conference room was serious. These soldiers who came out of the mountains were repeatedly studying and discussing there. The atmosphere was once extremely tense - Guevara firmly opposed surrender.

But they have to face a reality - the Nanyang fleet is conducting military exercises off the coast of Cuba.

"And, Commander-in-Chief, the whole world will see that their invasion plot has been thwarted! Under the full mobilization of Cuba, they can only leave in disgrace... This is a new victory!"

What the ambassador said seems to make some sense!

The commander-in-chief said, taking a puff of his cigar.

"We absolutely cannot become the second Siam, and we will not compromise with them. Even if we do make concessions, it will only be temporary."

After thinking for a while, the commander-in-chief looked at everyone and said.

"Negotiate with them and allow their expatriates to leave, taking with them the property that belongs to all Cuban people."

“This is classic capitulationism.”

Guevara loudly rebuked that as the minister in charge of industrial economy, in order to promote industrial construction, he ordered to burn a large amount of arable land and sugarcane fields to build oil factories, forcing farmers to give up farming and participate in industrial labor, with the goal of "building a comprehensive industrialization system." Due to the destruction of a large amount of arable land, farmland, and sugar fields, farmers were forced to engage in "large-scale production" and missed farming. Cuba has experienced food shortages and daily necessities shortages since last year.

In fact, since the victory, Guevara has been very radical. After becoming the president of the National Bank, he has more than once expressed his "disgust for money" and wanted to abolish Cuba's monetary economy. Fortunately, the commander-in-chief was not so crazy and put him in charge of industry. As a result, he managed the industry through a series of land burning and forest burning and forced labor, which directly caused the collapse of Cuba's real economy.

Now, directly opposing concessions to Nanyang, facing his opposition, the commander-in-chief frowned and said:

"A temporary compromise is for future victory. Even the newly born Soviet Union made concessions to Germany. But later, didn't they tear up the treaty and take back the land ceded to Germany?"

Although what the commander-in-chief said made sense, Guevara objected directly.

"That's because they only faced the Soviet Union, while we have to face the United States. If we make concessions under the threat of warships, what about the Americans? What about the warships that the Americans will send in the future?"

Faced with the rebuttal, the commander-in-chief was silent for a while, then said:

"America is not Nanyang, and Nanyang is not America. They do things differently!"
