Chapter 1308 Nanyang is the Big Winner (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
A peace-loving Soviet Union, isn’t this a victory?
"For the sake of world peace, we have to make some sacrifices first."

Of course, these words were only said to outsiders, but Khrushchev was excited in his heart. This was definitely a complete victory!
The military adventure in Cuba not only allowed the Americans to withdraw their missiles deployed in Turkey and Italy, but also scored political points - the whole world would see a peace-loving Soviet Union.

In this way, the rumors that Americans have always been warlike and expansionist toward the Soviet Union are naturally self-defeating.

Well, it can be strengthened a little more.

Thinking of this, Khrushchev immediately thought of going back to modify the recording and letter!

The whole world must see the huge sacrifices made for peace!

Correct!
This must be done.

The letter to Kennedy needed some further revision and polishing, and it was necessary to emphasize the sacrifices made by the Soviet Union for peace.

Thinking of this, Khrushchev was excited. After all, this not only resolved the crisis, but also gave him and the Soviet Union a way out.

This step not only allowed them to avoid making concessions to the United States in front of the whole world, but also allowed the Soviet Union to gain political points. Now even the hardliners in the military felt that the Soviet Union did not lose face in this matter!
It was for this reason that when Khrushchev looked at the plane flying away, there was a hint of emotion in his eyes, because it was a plane being tested.

……

28:9 a.m. on the th.

Kennedy formally received a letter from Khrushchev confirming the removal of the Cuban missiles.

Kennedy, who had not slept all night, was extremely happy as his worries about the end of the world were finally put to rest. He wrote back immediately, praising Khrushchev's decision as "a decision with statesmanlike demeanor" and affirming that Nanyang played a crucial role in the incident.

At this point, the major crisis that lasted for 13 days finally ended, and mankind was pulled back from the brink of destruction.

The next day, October 10, US Secretary of Defense McNamara issued a secret order: to withdraw the missiles deployed in Turkey and Italy before April 29, 4.

Of course, the outside world knew nothing about this matter. Even the withdrawal of the missiles was in the name of "maintenance", which was of course to maintain Kennedy's tough guy image.

A crisis that caused unrest around the world has finally been resolved.

Who is the winner in this crisis?

No one knows, it seems that everyone is a big winner in this crisis.

Because he successfully thwarted the Soviet Union's plan, Kennedy, a young man who was originally unpopular with Americans, suddenly became a hero in the eyes of Americans.

As for Khrushchev, unlike the criticism he received in the other world, he was generally praised, and not just because of his political victories.

Another reason is that this time the Soviet Union had a way out! It was not forced to make concessions. In the eyes of the whole world, the Soviet Union made concessions, even sacrifices, for the future of mankind.

Political victory plus no one needed to be held responsible for the defeat, so for the Soviet Union, it was still a big winner, and Khrushchev was naturally a winner as well.

What about Nanyang?
The whole world saw how Nanyang pulled the world back from the brink of destruction. Because of this, the whole world also experienced Nanyang's influence on the two superpowers.

This kind of influence itself is a reflection of Nanyang's own national strength. Nanyang is of course the big winner in this matter.

In a way, there are basically no losers in this Cuban Missile Crisis! Everyone is a winner!

Although there are no losers in this crisis, the nature of the crisis has not changed. Regardless of the outcome, this crisis has profoundly changed the world.

On the one hand, the United States deeply realized that the Soviet Union was their mortal enemy, and they became "unreconciled" enemies from then on. In the next twenty years, all US policies revolved around one core - killing the Soviet Union. This also became the most concerned issue of successive US governments in the next few decades.

On the other hand, during the "Cuban Missile Crisis", the Soviet Union, which was less powerful than the United States, immediately began a retaliatory expansion of its nuclear forces, and even proposed to "produce missiles like producing sausages," that is, nuclear missiles.

It was at this time that the arms race between the Soviet Union and the United States truly began in full swing. Before that, there was no arms race at all.

But the Cuban Missile Crisis directly changed everything. The Soviet Union went all out to build nuclear weapons and other weapons. In the end, when they left the United States far behind in the number of nuclear weapons, they had to face a dilemma.

The cost of maintaining nuclear weapons is simply too high! Even to the point of being unbearable.

This is the impact of a crisis. But the impact is not limited to the United States and the Soviet Union.

"The real impact is still on Europe!"

Lying on the beach of Paradise Island, feeling the bright tropical sunshine, although the incident was over, Li Yian couldn't help but think about the changes in the world in the post-crisis era.

What has been the biggest change in the post-crisis world?
It's not the United States and the Soviet Union. The confrontation and endless struggle between them are inevitable. How can two countries that are so incompatible as water and fire live in harmony?

The real change is still in Europe!

This crisis has made all of Western Europe realize the risks of the United States acting on its own without regard for the safety of its allies in Western Europe.

It is for this reason that France will refuse Britain's accession to the European Community next year. Even Charles de Gaulle said in explaining France's decision that if Britain were allowed to join, it would mean the emergence of "a huge Atlantic community dependent on and led by the United States, which is unacceptable."

While making its position clear, it also made the tension between the United States and France and the potential anti-American sentiment of the allies public. France also signed a friendship treaty with Germany and put aside old grievances with Germany.

Later, the French did show the trump card of dollar reserves. In the first two quarters of 1, France exchanged more than $ million in gold with the US government. These actions showed that France openly and loudly opposed the US policy towards Europe and tried to undermine and weaken the US influence on the European continent through economic and monetary means. France was the first to raise the banner against the US and the hegemony of the US dollar.

The root cause of all this is the "Cuban Missile Crisis". The United States' insistence on its own security made European countries see the danger. After all, Europe is at the forefront of the confrontation.

"They need America's protection, but they don't need America's help to turn Europe into ruins!"

Li Yian muttered to himself, his lips slightly raised. Next year, the world situation will change fundamentally. The Cuban Missile Crisis fundamentally changed the world, causing cracks in the seemingly harmonious NATO, and also promoted "Europe's independence". Even if this independence was limited under the threat of the Soviet Union, it at least made the United States and Europe no longer a solid block.

"This is the greatest significance of the missile crisis!"

Li Yian, wearing a beach shirt, sat up from his beach chair and looked at the beach. Looking at the children playing on the beach, this was a very rare family gathering. There were 37 children, and the oldest one, Jason, was not only years old, but also a father.

As for the youngest... they are only a few months old. They are his and Lana's children, a boy and a girl.

Now the children are playing there, and as for the women, some are playing mahjong in the house, and some are taking care of their children.

After returning from Moscow, Li Yian took a vacation and came to Paradise Island to spend time with his family. After all, now that the big things have been dealt with, the rest of the time should naturally be left for his family.

Just when Li Yian was about to go play with the children, Jason came over and looked at his father. He hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Dad, is this all over?"

For Jason, who had just become a father, this crisis made him really feel fear, the fear of doomsday.

Even if they can survive and not have to struggle for survival in the ice and snow of the "nuclear winter", who doesn't want to live a good life?
"Yes, it's over."

"I mean the United States and the Soviet Union."

Jason hesitated and said:

"The confrontation between them is not over. Will something similar happen again in the future?"

"Who knows?"

Looking at Jason who was full of worry, Li Yian said:
"But through this crisis we can see that negotiation can still solve many problems. At the last moment, they still chose peace first. After all, nuclear weapons bring about mutual destruction, and no one dares to take the risk."

Jason asked back:
"Is it true that no one will take the risk?"

Facing his son's question, Li Yian was silent for a while and said:

"Who knows? But the horror of nuclear war can always bring peace. We cherish this kind of peace, but we must also be prepared. As long as we are well prepared, we should be able to avoid war."

"Avoid war..."

Muttering these words, Jason thought for a moment and said:

"Paul called me two days ago and said that some of his friends were planning to come to Nanyang for inspection. If nothing goes wrong, they will invest in Nanyang."

Paul, also known as Mellon, is Jason's father-in-law.

Look, this is the impact of the crisis. The post-crisis era will change everything, from the official to the private sector. The capitalists have already begun to make their choices.

"I don't know if we can avoid war, but we will do something to avoid disaster, Dad..."

After thinking for a while, Jason looked at his father and said:
"A few days ago, my mother and I discussed that in addition to investing in Nanyang, Mindanao and Surabaya, the company will also increase investment in Brazil. In the future, we will focus on investing in South America."

After that, he turned his attention to his younger brothers and sisters. Although he did not explain, Li Yian knew why. He did not want Universal to compete with his younger brothers and sisters' businesses. Therefore, their investment in Nanyang would be limited, just like "a cunning rabbit has three burrows". Of course, if any crisis occurred, they would still seek refuge in Nanyang as soon as possible.

"Well, Amazon iron ore and South American lithium ore are both very important mineral resources. While seizing these two points, Brazil is now in the ascendant. Increasing investment can still reap rich returns in the future."

Afterwards, Li Yian talked with Jason about some business matters. He still felt deeply guilty towards his eldest son. After all, he didn't know of his existence for many years, and in the end it was this kid who took the initiative to find him and acknowledge him as his relative.

“…that is, the electronics industry. In the future, the company can increase its investment in this area.”

What we are talking about is business, but in fact it is the future development direction. As long as the company can grasp these directions, the development will definitely not be bad.

While the two were chatting, Li Shiyun, who was playing beach volleyball with her brothers and sisters, shouted to her father:
"Dad, Jason, come over and play with us!"

After that, he hit the volleyball to Li Yian with all his strength. Li Yian took the ball and smiled:

"Let's go, Jason!"

In this way, the family members played happily in the sunshine.

Just as Li Yian was enjoying the joy of family life, in a world where the crisis had been resolved, public opinion in various countries praised Li Yian to the peak.

After all, in the eyes of the whole world, it was Li Yian who pulled the world back from the brink of destruction. Both Khrushchev and Kennedy's open letters praised Li Yian's mediation to the utmost. Their praise was actually giving themselves a way out.

After all, only in this way can they conceal their concessions on some issues. As a result, public opinion from all over the world naturally praised Li Yian endlessly.

Naturally, in the eyes of everyone in the world, Li Yian will definitely be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and will definitely win the prize. Almost no one will disagree with this. After all, in 1962, no one has made such a great contribution to human peace.

Of course, what is the corresponding one?
It is the recognition of Nanyang's international status by the United States and the Soviet Union - especially the latter. The Soviet Union directly raised Nanyang to a position equal to the United States and itself. The reason is simple. Only by raising Nanyang's international status can the Soviet Union cover up its mistakes and say - you see, our concessions are not due to anything else, but because of Nanyang's mediation. Nanyang is also a big country equal to us!

It was for this reason that the Soviet representative to the United Nations took the initiative to speak at the UN General Assembly when the meeting was about to end.

Unlike the original plan to let Poland come forward to propose, this time it was the Soviet Union that took the initiative to propose, and this proposal naturally shocked representatives from all over the world. But besides the shock, there was more applause.

After the Soviet representative finished speaking, almost all the representatives stood up and clapped vigorously to express their approval of the proposal.

In fact, overall, there is only one real winner - Nanyang!
