Chapter 238: 【The Cuban Missile Crisis】(4k)

After hearing Yu Feng’s account.

Not only was the Republic unable to accept this proposal, but even the Blue Star netizens had strange expressions and could not accept it either.

After all, this bias was far too obvious.

It was clearly the other side that had crossed the border without authorization; even if they had all been killed, it would not have been unjust.

If you wanted to say the Republic’s methods were too extreme, that could be considered a reason.

But to actually say.

That because the other side had more deaths, it was the Republic’s fault, and to ask the Republic to concede on the issue of territorial sovereignty.

This reasoning was a bit absurd.

Any normal person could not accept it, let alone the Republic.

Moreover, in the face of the Soviet Union’s demands, the Republic had not conceded on the issue of sovereignty, let alone such even more unreasonable demands from the Indian Union.

The Soviet side at least used the name of opposing American imperialist federalism to try to get the Republic to concede.

The Indian Union was directly demanding it; they had simply become shameless.

Yu Feng continued:

"I won't go into the mediation process of the Soviet Union; in any case, it was quite biased."

"They even said that these few kilometers of territory had no significance to a great power, and that we should just let it go."

"How should I put this..."

"12.5 square kilometers is not a small place. You must know that in the north of the Republic, in Jilin of the Northeast, the Tumen River estuary is only 15 kilometers away from the Sea of Japan."

"But that short 15 kilometers is territory belonging to the Soviet Union and the Peninsula, and the two sides stubbornly built a bridge."

"It directly blocked the Republic’s access to the sea."

"On one hand, they use a short 15 kilometers to block the Republic’s only outlet to the sea in the Northeast."

"On the other hand, they advise the Republic that a few kilometers of territory have no significance to a great power and that we should just give it to the Indian Union. Who could accept this?"

"After this incident, the relationship between the two sides became even colder."

"So in the second half of 1959, the Soviet Union visited the American Federation. This measure seemed to be isolating the Republic, but it caused no small amount of turmoil within the internal camps of both sides."

"This was inevitable."

"After all, with the support of the bosses on both sides, the little brothers had stopped interacting, and had even started to fight for real."

"What was the meaning of you shaking hands here?"

"The reactions of the little brothers on both sides were also very interesting."

"The American Federation’s internal camp continued to isolate the Republic because the Republic was not in their camp to begin with."

"But the Soviet Union’s camp was different. Because of the contradictions between the two sides, many countries or federations began to turn to support the Republic, this 'second brother'."

"The bipolarity of the Cold War was gradually evolving toward multipolar conflict."

"The plot currently ends at 1959, and that is how it stands."

"Netizens who want to see the plot move faster can look on the partition page of the Tiansha live streaming platform, because many players have different timelines."

"Some plots have skipped ahead almost to 1970."

"However, their intelligence is definitely not as rich as mine, so everyone, if you want to understand the world situation, remember to come to my live stream often."

"Let me see."

"Let's set the next live stream reveal for Sunday night."

"Six days of time."

"That should be enough to skip over a lot of plot."

Yu Feng said this while telling the netizens in the live stream about the time for the next data compilation and analysis of the world situation.

The Blue Star netizens in the live stream agreed one after another.

Yu Feng checked the time; there were still two hours until midnight. He put down the materials he had finished revealing and returned to the partition page of Tiansha Live:

"Speaking of which, having revealed so much."

"I really haven't taken a good look at the situation in various countries and federations during the period from 1953 to 1959."

"Let’s find a few live streams and take a look."

This remark made the netizens in the live stream pause; they suddenly remembered that it had indeed been a long time since they had looked at those plots.

They had been focusing only on analyzing the world situation and had forgotten that each country had its own development at this time. While reveals could provide a brief summary, they were far less interesting than seeing it for oneself.

Yu Feng had the same thought.

After all, his own plot could be described as quite dry; basically, he just sat in the room, constantly skipping plot, organizing intelligence, and collecting intelligence, repeating this over and over.

Although it had indeed attracted a lot of traffic, the experience of the game plot was gone.

When he was browsing the forums last night, he saw some plot videos that Yu Feng felt were quite good, which was why he thought about going into other people’s live streams to take a look.

To see what kind of plot other streamers were experiencing.

Yu Feng flipped through them.

He had just reached 1959, so when he returned to the partition page, the "Earth" live streams with the 1959 timeline naturally caught his eye.

It was just that these were on the American Federation side.

Yu Feng looked at the options for [Europe], [Asia], [Africa], etc., in the region selection.

Yu Feng switched to the game forum to see if there were any major events.

Looking at some of the hot topics in the game forum.

【The Cuban Missile Crisis】

【Two Bombs, One Satellite】

【American Federation Visits the Republic】

And other hot topics. Yu Feng decided to click into [The Cuban Missile Crisis] in order and took a brief look at the introduction:

"Hiss—"

"No wonder this plot is ranked before 'Two Bombs, One Satellite' and 'American Federation Visits the Republic'."

"They almost started a nuclear war?!"

Yu Feng had just been wondering how such a crisis could be ranked before such important plots as 'Two Bombs, One Satellite' and such absurd plots as the American Federation visiting the Republic.

Yu Feng searched for some information and then hung up the map of Cuba.

"I'll go watch this part of the plot in a while."

"Let’s look at the map first, at the location of Cuba."

"I said before."

"North America and South America are the American Federation’s backyard, but now."

"In the American Federation’s backyard, a country that is close to the Soviet Union has appeared. How could this not make the American Federation react?"

"Let’s look at the plot introduction."

Saying this.

Yu Feng clicked on an introduction that had already concluded, and at the same time, he chose a live stream to enter.

This streamer was located in the capital of Cuba.

At this moment, the streets were full of crowds holding signs, and the atmosphere looked unusually oppressive. Many of the signs were written with anti-American Federation slogans.

Yu Feng also quickly finished reading the cause and effect, thought about it for a moment, and then organized his thoughts and spoke:

"Alright, I just looked at the plot."

"I have a general understanding, so let me briefly explain it to everyone here."

"First is the Cuban Revolution."

"In 1959, Cuba overthrew the pro-American Federation regime."

"Strange."

"This was a 1959 event; the reporters in my plot should have reported this to me."

"I actually didn't notice."

"Continuing with this plot."

"Although Cuba overthrew the pro-American Federation regime, everyone can see from the map that the closest point from Cuba to the American Federation is only a little over 140 kilometers."

"It can be said that at this distance, if the American Federation wants to attack the Republic of Cuba, they can directly use their own mainland for logistics."

"They don't even need to transfer from various places."

"Facing the crushing power of the American Federation, how could Cuba not panic?"

"They could only seek a way to protect themselves."

"And that method was the Soviet Union."

"During this period, the Soviet Union and the American Federation were truly in the extreme of the Cold War, but both were hindered by the other side’s nuclear bombs and did not directly go to war."

"Most of it was proxy warfare."

"There was only one Peninsula War where the American Federation personally took the field, and they even lost that."

"Alright."

"Back to Cuba."

"In order to prevent being controlled by the American Federation, after overthrowing the pro-American Federation regime, Cuba leaned toward the Soviet Union."

"Seeking asylum."

"And since Cuba’s location was in the core area of the American Federation’s backyard, the Soviet Union was naturally overjoyed."

"They directly agreed to provide asylum."

"And they directly sent people to Cuba to deploy nuclear missiles."

"Of course."

"Do you all think the Soviet Union was a bit too hasty doing this? In reality, it really wasn't that the Soviet Union was too hasty."

"It was that the American Federation had long ago deployed missiles in Turkey, Italy, and other places close to the Soviet Union."

"Directly threatening the Soviet Union’s mainland."

"And because North America and South America were separated from the Soviet Union by the ocean, they had absolutely no opportunity to deploy nuclear weapons to threaten the American Federation’s mainland."

"Now, this teammate that Cuba delivered to their doorstep gave them the possibility to deploy nuclear weapons to threaten the American Federation’s mainland."

"How could the Soviet Union not be in a hurry?"

"Once the deployment was successful, both sides would be threatening each other’s mainland, making it even less likely that they would fight."

"So it was against this background."

"The Soviet Union couldn't wait to deploy nuclear missiles in Cuba."

"But an American Federation reconnaissance plane happened to photograph the missile launch base that Cuba was building."

"Don't worry about why the American Federation’s reconnaissance plane appeared in the airspace over Cuban territory."

"And don't worry about why the American Federation’s reconnaissance plane discovered and photographed the missile launch base that Cuba was building."

"In any case, they discovered it."

As he spoke, Yu Feng himself laughed.

The Blue Star netizens in the live stream were the same; in any case, don't worry about why the American Federation’s reconnaissance plane was carrying a camera and taking photos of someone else’s territory. Yu Feng said:

"The American Federation exploded with anger."

"Because, not to mention whether Cuba had such technology, this distance was just too close."

"Once construction was successful, it could directly threaten the American Federation’s mainland (Washington, New York)."

"So the American Federation urgently convened a meeting."

"Immediately following, they blockaded the sea, prohibiting any ships from entering or leaving near Cuba, to prevent them from continuing construction."

"And they demanded that Cuba immediately dismantle the missile facilities."

"The Soviet Union naturally did not agree, claiming the missiles were 'defensive in nature,' refused to dismantle them, and warned the American Federation that the blockade was equivalent to an 'act of war'."

"Seeing this, the American Federation naturally did not dare to act."

"So the American Federation entered the highest state of combat readiness, and B-52 bombers carrying nuclear bombs took to the sky."

"Soviet nuclear submarines carrying nuclear torpedoes approached the blockade line."

"A few days later."

"When an American Federation reconnaissance plane was scouting over Cuba, it was shot down by a Soviet missile; the plane was destroyed and the pilot killed, further intensifying the situation."

"The standoff between the two sides lasted for 13 days."

"B-52 bombers carrying nuclear weapons and Soviet nuclear submarines carrying nuclear torpedoes were all preparing to launch."

"Both sides hovered on the edge of nuclear war for 13 days."

"But in the end, the leaders of both sides contacted and negotiated through a secret line."

"What specific interests were exchanged is currently unknown."

"We only know that the Soviet Union withdrew the nuclear missiles in Cuba, while the American Federation also withdrew the nuclear missiles deployed in Turkey that threatened the Soviet mainland, and promised never to invade Cuba."

"Only then did this matter come to an end."

"Neither side wanted to fight; no one dared to be that sinner."

"In the end, they chose to exchange interests."

"The only one who had it a bit rough was Cuba; later on, they would probably only be able to rely on Soviet aid for a long time."

"But there is a precedent for this kind of aid."

"Didn't the Republic’s aid get withdrawn just as easily?"

Listening to Yu Feng’s words, the Blue Star netizens in the live stream nodded involuntarily.

Indeed.

Relying on others like this has too much uncertainty.

Why does the Republic want everything to be autonomous?

It’s because being choked by the throat is truly uncomfortable; they say they will withdraw it, and they withdraw it, and you have no way to stop it. Fortunately, the Republic has known what "self-reliance" means from ancient times to the present.

There is even more of a spirit of not relying entirely on others, and only in this way can one break out of the encirclement in such a situation.

After Yu Feng finished speaking, he watched the plot in Cuba for a while.

In addition to the scenes of many people protesting, there were also scenes of the American Federation and Soviet Union troops, which were also full of tension.

Many soldiers thought that they were about to really fight, and soldiers on both sides were writing their respective last wills.

Seeing this scene.

It made the Blue Star netizens in the live stream feel even more disgusted with those guys who were advocating for war on Blue Star.

After browsing for a while, Yu Feng wanted to switch to the Republic side.

Because at this point in time, the Republic had just started working on the atomic bomb.

He also wanted to know how the Republic managed to create it in just a few years.

Returning to the home page of the partition.

Choosing the [1959] timeline [Asia] [Republic] live stream partition, what caught his eye was a relatively simple scene.

Although the Republic was just starting out during this period, everything had to be caught up.

Although the scene and environment were relatively simple, the mental outlook was not ordinary; Yu Feng looked at the live streams available.

However, the Blue Star players were also picky; many were employees of key departments.

Especially since they had knowledge from Blue Star that far exceeded "Earth," and they occasionally used it; in any case, it wouldn't affect others in an individual single-player plot.

Yu Feng scanned around and quickly locked onto some live streams marked [Two Bombs, One Satellite].

But the scenes were all desolate Gobi deserts, and many were under construction.

But in most of the scenes, there were only a small number of houses, and there was not even electricity.

With nothing in such a place, how on earth could they build nuclear weapons?

Yu Feng frowned and chose a live stream that hadn't started construction yet, preparing to watch from the beginning.
