Chapter 1345 You Don’t Understand Our Tenderness (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

A sudden bombardment shocked the whole world.

In fact, it was not the bombardment that shocked the world, but the identities of the people who died in the bombardment were too special.

Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations!
Two years ago, the UN Secretary-General was shot down in Congo while on his way to Katanga.

Now, the UN Deputy Secretary-General has been killed in a shelling in Katanga!
Is this the legendary "addition" of the five elements?

But no matter what.

This shot actually killed the UN Deputy Secretary-General!

This is outrageous. After the news spread to the outside world, the United Nations immediately seized on it and refused to let it go - "The mercenaries will never be able to wash away this crime!"

While making the accusation, the United Nations convened an emergency meeting to call for a vote on the "Congolese mercenary issue," requiring countries to ban their citizens from going to Africa as mercenaries.

Fortunately...the proposal was passed.

"They're not from NBC at all!"

In the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, Dean said bluntly:
"So, NBC doesn't care whether this proposal will pass or not."

After Dean finished speaking, Kennedy turned his gaze to McCown and asked:
"Have you confirmed the identity of the Ninth Commando?"

McCone, the CIA director, had taken over the position just a few months earlier, and unlike his predecessor Dulles, he was Kennedy's man, at least to a certain extent.

However, as we all know, there are several deputy directors of operations in the CIA, and only God knows who they are.

"According to the intelligence we have, most of the mercenaries come from Surabaya, Mindanao and other places, and a considerable number of them are Japanese immigrants, and most of the commanders are former Nazi officers who have escaped. They not only have rich war experience, but also have performed extremely well in the Indian princely war of independence.

After the Principality War, most of these people settled in Surabaya and Mindanao, and quite a few of them still accepted employment from the Black Knights.

Then, McCown emphasized:
"As we all know, the relationship between these regions and NBC is extremely close. They have been able to maintain their semi-independence in the form of autonomy with the support of NBC. Therefore, we have reason to believe that this action is supported by NBC."

In response to McCown's judgment, Dean said directly:
"What's the point? We know they are doing these things, and they also know that the UN's actions are supported by us, but that's it. NBC is responding to us in this way..."

Is this a secret?
It was no secret at all, and even when chatting with NBC ambassadors, they made no secret of their dissatisfaction.

Fighting back is just a different way of doing things.

Looking at the President, Dean continued:
"In response to our 'multilateral nuclear plan', Mr. President, we must now consider a question - whether to continue to exert pressure through the diplomatic field to force them to make concessions on this issue! Obviously, NBC will not make concessions, and they refuse to engage in dialogue on this issue in the diplomatic field, and now Congo..."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Dean didn't even know what to say:
"This is their way of fighting back. Chang'an is responding to our pressure in this way. Unless we are determined to fight them there and defeat them, they will never give in."

"You mean, the outcome of Congo will determine whether NBC will concede?"

Kennedy asked:
"As long as we win there, then NBC will compromise!"

"Mr. President, Sweden and Ireland have made their attitude clear. They will not allow their troops to be involved in this war. Their ambassadors have informed us that they will withdraw their troops in Congo!"

Dean said bluntly:
"No European is willing to fight for Congo, and if we intervene directly, the Soviets will certainly intervene as well."

In fact, at the beginning, the reason why the United States actively intervened in Congo was because Lumumba had asked the Soviet Union for help. The CIA planned a positive change because it was afraid that Lumumba would turn to the Soviet Union. At the same time, the United States facilitated the United Nations to send troops to Congo to avoid Soviet intervention.

"Yes, Mr. President, we have to consider the possibility that the Soviet Union may also be involved in the Congo."

McCown's reminder prompted Robert Kennedy to say:

"Are we going to let NBC teach us a lesson in Congo just because we're afraid of the Soviets?"

In Robert's view, NBC's behavior is an insult to the United States.

"Those Nanyang people not only rejected our friendly proposals, but also chose to confront the United States in Congo. If we allow the NBC people to humiliate us like this, how can we lead the entire free world as the leader of the free world?"

Robert's words made Kennedy frown, and he was really annoyed. The reason for his annoyance was that NBC not only rejected his plan without hesitation, but also chose to fight back without hesitation in another place.

Even retaliating with war, how could the United States tolerate such provocation?
The United States is supposed to lead the entire free world, and Kennedy is the leader of the free world.

Of course, we cannot allow NBC to provoke us like this. But... do we really want to fight a war with them in Congo?

Kennedy couldn't help but hesitate. Although he was angry, he did not lose his mind. He knew very well which countries were behind the Congo crisis.

"Sir, there is not only NBC now, but also the UK and even Belgium. We must consider the entire NATO. Compared with NATO, it is not worth mentioning."

In response to Secretary of State Dean's reminder, Robert said on the side.

"If we make concessions, then Britain will never be able to join the multilateral nuclear program. How can NATO fight against the Soviet Union at that time?"

Robert retorted.

"The reason why we want Britain to join this plan is to integrate the power of the entire NATO and defeat the Russians. Now the British refusal will only weaken our strength. John, we must fight back!" "Fight back?"

Dean said bluntly.

"Why fight back? Are we going to send American troops to Congo to fight those mercenaries? Mr. President!"

Dean said:

"Now the whole of Washington is questioning your foreign policy. Whether it is Britain or NBC, they have many friends in Washington. They believe that Britain and NBC are allies of the United States, not enemies. Mr. President, you are now pushing them into the arms of the Soviets."

Facing Dean's reminder, Kennedy frowned even more. After thinking for a long time, he spoke.

"But if we make concessions, then every country will challenge the authority of the United States in the future. Dean, what should we do then?"

In response to the president's question, Dean gave a straightforward answer.

"Mr. President, not every country is NBC."

Dean's answer made Kennedy stunned. After a moment's silence, he turned his gaze to Vice President Johnson who had remained silent, so he asked.

"Linden, what are you looking at?"

……

In the afternoon, a black Cadillac drove out of the White House and drove along Pennsylvania Avenue out of the city. More than half an hour later, the car stopped on the banks of the Potomac River.

The passenger in the car looked at the woods by the river outside the car, thought silently for a while, then got out of the car. Then the man in the black coat slowly walked to the river.

Just like that, the man stood there quietly, staring at the river.

A few ducks swam on the river. At this time, a man with gray hair and glasses walked up to him. The two of them just stood there, seemingly admiring the spring scenery on both sides of the river bank.

"That young man is crazy!"

Suddenly, the man in the black coat said:

"He doesn't know what he is doing at all. Our enemy is the Russians, but he is turning our friends into our enemies."

"Yes."

The man in the coat agreed:
"NBC has expressed its dissatisfaction in their own way, but the brothers have not yet realized that they are making a big mistake. Now, the Kremlin is probably drinking vodka to celebrate their victory."

The white-haired man with glasses next to him held his pipe, took a puff and said:
"If he knows NBC, he will know that although NBC is Westernized on the surface, they are still Tangshan people at heart. They are sensitive and have self-respect. When their self-respect is offended, they will choose to fight back without hesitation!"

After taking a puff of his cigarette, the gray-haired man looked into the distance.

"Just like their breakup with Russia, that young man is making the same mistake as Khrushchev. My God, I can't even imagine how much of a shock it will bring to the world if NBC is forced to side with the Soviet Union!"

The man in the coat also agreed:
"Yes, if this happens, it will definitely be a disaster for the United States!"

"So I think they are a threat not only to the free world, but also to the United States."

The man with glasses looked into the distance and said:

"We all know that not every country is NBC."

"Yes!"

The man in the coat nodded and said:
"Indeed, not every country is NBC, and not everyone will choose to hit back at us in such a tactful way."

Was NBC's response subtle?
Yes!

At least in their eyes, NBC is just a docile little lamb - because NBC has many more direct options, but NBC chose the most gentle way to fight back.

"But if the White House continues to provoke them, no one knows what they will do. After all, as we all know, he is an extremely sensitive person!"

Holding the pipe in his hand, the man with glasses said:

"By then, maybe something will happen that will change the whole world, my friend, and by then, maybe we will regret not stopping it sooner!"

The man in the coat was silent for a while, then said:

"At least there's still room for redemption, right? Well, let's go fix it! As for NBC... it's NBC!"

After saying that, the man in the coat turned and left, while the man with glasses stood there, quietly staring at the river...
