Chapter 1287 How to Deal with a Madman (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

Washington, White House.

Beautiful roses bloomed outside the window of the Oval Office. These were roses planted by Mrs. Roosevelt. From then on, the roses outside the window became a landscape of the White House. Since Roosevelt, several presidents would occasionally stop to admire the roses outside the window.

Now, looking at the roses outside the window, Kennedy felt a flash of anxiety deep in his heart.

"one day!"

Once again, as he muttered this word, Kennedy's mood became more complicated.

"Robert, can you believe it? It only took one day!"

Robert didn't say anything, he just looked at his brother at the window. They both participated in the war, but who could have imagined that war would be like this.

"Who would have thought that Iraq was so vulnerable? Aren't there Soviet advisers there?"

"Soviet advisers? They didn't even have a chance to take off. The cruise missiles launched by the Nanyang Navy destroyed the ammunition depot and oil depot in the first place. Then, their fleet swept across the airport. Many planes were directly destroyed in the hangar, and the airport was also destroyed..."

Although Kennedy was not from the Air Force, he had participated in wars and knew very well what war should be like.

Shouldn't war be about planes bombing, artillery shelling, and tanks advancing?
In a war like this, there should be indiscriminate bombing for a few days at the outset, and then the army will be deployed.

But Nanyang's way of fighting directly silenced him. Not only him, but the whole world was silenced. They never knew that war could be fought like this.

"Uh……"

Robert was silent for a moment and asked:

“What do the generals in the Pentagon think?”

"They... they don't know what to say. Maybe it's just like what the newspaper said - while the generals in the Pentagon are still stuck in the European battlefield of World War II, the generals in Southeast Asia have entered a new era and are launching a military revolution!"

When talking about change, Kennedy couldn't help but look up at the sky outside the window and said:
"From now on, no president can sleep soundly, because Tomahawk missiles can drop from the sky at any time and kill them in their beds. While everyone is still asleep, a country's command structure is destroyed!"

“It’s just Iraq!”

“Robert, this is transformation!”

Kennedy said seriously:

"We must see that this is an unprecedented change, not only in the military, but also between countries. No matter what, we must understand one thing - Nanyang will not be satisfied with the current status! Therefore, they will challenge the UN Charter, and Iraq is just a display of their strength!"

Compared to last year, Kennedy has become extremely mature. After learning about the content of Li Yian's speech at the UN General Assembly, he realized Nanyang's intention.

"Mr. President, what he is targeting is not Iraq or freedom, but his international status that does not match his strength."

Vice President Johnson, representing the United States at the General Assembly, said:

"What he blamed was not the inaction of the United Nations or the UN Charter, but the status of the five major powers."

Listening to Johnson's words, Kennedy turned his eyes to Secretary of State Dean Rusk and said:

"Dean, do you think so?"

"Mr. President, rather than calling it a challenge, it is Nanyang's way of telling the world that they must gain a corresponding status, otherwise they will not restrain themselves within the rules of the game of great powers."

In response to the president's question, Dean even said directly:
"We all know that the world has always been in dialogue from the perspective of strength, but the mismatch between Nanyang's international status and its national strength has reached a point where it must be resolved, so he pointed out that the UN Charter needs to be amended. The so-called amendment is not to amend the Charter itself, but to increase the number of permanent members of the UN Security Council."

In fact, the rules of this world are very simple. It is nothing more than using strength as the standard to measure everything.

No matter what the name or reason is, this fundamental premise cannot be concealed in the end. That is why after Dean said this, Kennedy fell into silence.

As for Vice President Johnson, he said bluntly:

"Permanent members of the United Nations? They are all major participants in World War II."

In response to Johnson's questioning, Dean spoke directly.

"Since France can become a permanent member of the UN Security Council, why can't Southeast Asia?"

This sentence silenced Johnson.

Yes, if a country like France, which made almost no contribution during World War II, can become a permanent member of the UN Security Council, why can't Southeast Asia?

At least they had stopped several divisions of elite German troops at Bastogne.

"Besides, even the American precedents have amendments. If that's the case, why can't the UN Charter be amended?"

"It is not up to a single country to decide whether to amend the UN Charter," said Robert, the Attorney General.

"At least the Russians must agree. How could they possibly be willing to see the United Nations add another permanent member, and a member of the Western world?"

Facing Robert's question, Dean did not answer him directly, but said:

"Sometimes who can tell clearly about things like international politics? Perhaps, compared to us Russians, they hope that Nanyang will become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council more."

"How is this possible?"

Kennedy was also surprised and said:

"Are the Russians crazy? Would they do this?"

Facing the surprise of the two president brothers and Johnson's puzzled look, Dean spoke slowly.

"It is precisely because the Russians are not crazy that he is worried that the Nanyang people are crazy."

……

“They’re crazy.”

In the Kremlin, Khrushchev spoke in an excited tone.

"Crazy, this guy is simply a madman, how could he do this? Doesn't he know that Iraq is a country? How could he, how dare he be so bold!"

The reason why he was so excited was entirely because Nanyang had torn its face off and "invaded" a small country without any regard for the consequences.

In fact, Khrushchev knew about the invasion of Iraq by the South China Sea before he knew about Li Yi'an's speech at the UN General Assembly. After all, by the time the representative to the UN General Assembly sent the full text of the speech back to Moscow and delivered it to him, the military action had already begun for nearly two hours, and by this time, the ambassadors of various countries in South China Sea had already received the news from the South China Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"He is barbarically invading a country!"

When saying this, Khrushchev's tone was full of grievance!
That’s right, it’s injustice!
Six years ago, when the Soviet army "entered" Hungary, the whole world accused the Soviet Union of a brutal invasion.

But now, when the South China Sea brutally invaded Iraq, the whole world was unexpectedly silent!

"See? This is the hypocrisy of Western capitalist countries. No country blames Nanyang. The Americans even say they understand... Is this how they understand the UN Charter?"

In response to Khrushchev's question, Andrei Gromyko agreed:

"Yes, this is the most hypocritical side of Western countries! They are always so double-standard. They always have double standards for us and themselves. The barbaric invasion of Southeast Asia is not only not an invasion, but even...liberation in their eyes."

Khrushchev nodded and said:
"Yes, they can liberate Iraq today, Ethiopia tomorrow, and Egypt the day after tomorrow..."

At this time, all the countries he mentioned had one characteristic - they were all military officers who launched a military coup to overthrow the king's rule, and then the new regime leaned towards the Soviet Union. This was what Khrushchev was really worried about.

"Yes, we can see that this will even become a model for them, a new model. For weak countries, the high-tech modern warfare methods of Southeast Asia are beyond their ability to resist..."

Before Gromyko could finish, Khrushchev waved his hand and said:

"Let alone them, we must also face up to the threat of this new way of warfare. Those marshals were also shocked. Although their biggest concern is still the "wedge offensive", they also see the power of cruise missiles!"

Great!

This is really amazing, so amazing that even Khrushchev had to seriously consider a question - whether to continue sleeping in the bedroom, or in the bedroom on the ground. This is a question that everyone must consider.

So, one by one, they have now become "bunker boys".

"Now, as long as Nanyang is willing, this "Western world's thug" can use their high-precision missiles to destroy the command center of the weak country, and then those officials and officers who were bribed by them with US dollars and gold will give up resistance. Then, they will win the war and help those kings restore their rule!"

For Khrushchev, who had experienced war, he was well aware of the horror of this kind of fighting. The simplest hypothesis was - if when the Great Patriotic War broke out, the Germans had directly dropped bombs into the Kremlin and then killed the Iron Father, would the Soviet Union still have a chance to win the war?

It was obviously impossible. No one could replace the father's position. Faced with that situation, the only thing the remaining people could think of was to surrender, then abandon Moscow, retreat eastward, and eventually lose the war.

As the leader of the Soviet Union, Khrushchev knew too well his own role in this system!
The same is true in countries such as Ethiopia, Iraq and Egypt. Once the top leaders are beheaded, everything else will be in disarray!

It was because of this that he understood how terrifying this style of fighting was.

"So? What do we do now?"

In response to Gromyko's question, Khrushchev said directly:

"Now, we must stop Nanyang from going crazy! We must not let him become a madman. If this mad dog is not restrained, our layout around the world will be destroyed by him."

Starting from Iraq, to ​​Ethiopia, to Egypt, to... Khrushchev felt a headache whenever he thought of their leaders being beheaded by Tomahawk missiles in their sleep. After all, those countries were the key to the Soviet Union breaking the encirclement of the Western world!
"Mad man... We must pull this mad man back from the brink of madness!"
