Chapter 251: 【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 found it bizarre and unacceptable.

After all, this bias was far too obvious.

It was clearly the other side that had willfully crossed the border; they wouldn't have been wronged even if they had all been wiped out.

If you wanted to argue that the Republic's methods were too extreme, that might be a reason.

But to actually say.

That because the other side had more casualties, it was the Republic's fault, and to demand the Republic concede on the issue of territorial sovereignty.

This reasoning was a bit absurd.

Any normal person couldn't accept it, let alone the Republic.

Moreover, in the face of the Soviet Union's demands, the Republic had not conceded on sovereignty, let alone to the even more unreasonable demands of the Indian Federation.

The Soviet side at least used the pretext of opposing the American Federation's imperialism to try and get the Republic to yield.

The Indian Federation was simply demanding it outright, completely shameless.

Yu Feng continued:

"I won't go into the details of the Soviet Union's mediation process; it was biased regardless."

"They even said that these few kilometers of territory meant nothing to a great power, and that the Republic should just let it go."

"How should I put this..."

"12.5 square kilometers is not a small piece of land. You have to 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 it is precisely this short 15 kilometers that is the territory of the Soviet Union and the Peninsula; the two sides stubbornly built a bridge."

"Directly blocking 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 mean nothing to a great power and that it should just give it to the Indian Federation. Who could accept this?"

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

"Thus, in the second half of 1959, the Soviet Union visited the American Federation. This measure seemed to isolate the Republic, but it caused significant turmoil within both internal camps."

"This was inevitable."

"After all, supported by the bosses on both sides, the underlings had stopped all contact, and had even started fighting in earnest."

"What was this handshake supposed to mean?"

"The reactions of the underlings on both sides were also quite interesting."

"The American Federation's internal camp continued to isolate the Republic, as 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 toward supporting the Republic, this 'Second Brother'."

"The polarization of the Cold War was gradually evolving into multi-polar conflict."

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

"Friends who want to see faster plot progression can look in the partition page of the Tian Sha streaming platform, because many players have different timelines."

"Some plot skips are already approaching 1970."

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

"Let me see."

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

"Six days."

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

Yu Feng said this while telling the friends in the stream about the next time he would organize information and analyze the world situation.

The Blue Star friends in the stream agreed one after another.

Yu Feng checked the time; there were two hours left until midnight. He put down the information he had finished revealing and returned to the Tian Sha stream partition page:

"Come to think of it, after revealing so much."

"I really haven't taken a good look at what happened in various countries and federations between 1953 and 1959."

"Let's find a few streams and take a look."

This remark caught the friends in the stream off guard; they suddenly remembered that they hadn't looked at those plots for a long time either.

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 considered quite dry; basically, he just sat in a room, constantly skipping plot, organizing intelligence, and collecting intelligence, over and over again.

Although it did attract a lot of traffic, the experience of the game plot was gone.

He had watched some plot videos while browsing the forums last night, and Yu Feng felt they were all quite good, which is why he thought about going into other people's streams to see.

What kind of plots other streamers were experiencing.

Yu Feng flipped through them.

He had just reached 1959, so naturally, the 'Earth' streams on the 1959 timeline appeared before his eyes upon returning to the partition.

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

Yu Feng looked at the options in the region selection: 【Europe】, 【Asia】, 【Africa】... and so on.

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

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

【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 the American Federation visiting 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 the absurd plot of the American Federation visiting the Republic.

Yu Feng searched for some information and then pulled up a map of Cuba.

"I'll go watch that plot in a bit."

"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 close to the Soviet Union has appeared. How could the American Federation not react to that?"

"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 stream to enter.

This streamer was in the capital of Cuba.

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

Yu Feng quickly finished reading the cause and effect, thought for a moment, and then organized his words to speak:

"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 happened in 1959; the reporters in my plot should have reported this to me."

"I didn't notice it."

"Continuing with this plot."

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

"You could say that at this distance, if the American Federation wanted to attack the Republic of Cuba, they could provide logistics directly from their own mainland."

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

"Facing the American Federation's crushing pressure, 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 participated directly, and they still lost."

"Alright."

"Back to Cuba."

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

"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 agreed to provide asylum directly."

"And 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 wasn't really that the Soviet Union was too hasty."

"It was that the American Federation had long since 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, there was simply no opportunity to deploy nuclear weapons to threaten the American Federation's mainland."

"Now, this teammate Cuba, who had delivered themselves 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 anxious?"

"Once the deployment was successful, both sides would be threatening each other's mainland, making it even less likely to 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 under construction in Cuba."

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

"And don't worry about why the American Federation's reconnaissance plane discovered and photographed the missile launch base under construction in Cuba."

"Anyway, they discovered it."

As he spoke, Yu Feng laughed himself.

The Blue Star netizens in the stream were the same; anyway, don't worry about why the American Federation's reconnaissance plane was carrying a camera to take photos of another country's territory, Yu Feng said:

"The American Federation exploded with rage."

"Because, not to mention whether Cuba had this kind of 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 that, they blockaded the sea, prohibiting any ships from entering or leaving near Cuba, to prevent them from continuing construction."

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

"The Soviet Union naturally disagreed, 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 didn't 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 escalating 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 for launch."

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

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

"What specific interests were exchanged is currently unknown."

"It is only known 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."

"Both sides still didn't want to fight; neither dared to be the sinner."

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

"The only one who had it a bit rough was Cuba; later on, they probably could only 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 like that?"

Listening to Yu Feng's words, the Blue Star netizens in the stream couldn't help but nod.

Indeed.

Relying on others like this still had too much uncertainty.

Why did the Republic want to be autonomous in everything?

It was because being choked by the throat was truly uncomfortable; they could withdraw it whenever they said they would, and you had no way to stop them. Fortunately, the Republic had known what 'self-reliance' meant from ancient times to the present.

There was also the spirit of not relying entirely on others, and only in this way could they break out of the encirclement in such a situation.

Yu Feng finished speaking and watched the plot in Cuba for a while.

Besides 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 they were about to really start fighting, and soldiers on both sides were writing their own wills.

Seeing this scene.

It made the Blue Star netizens in the stream feel even more disgusted with those guys who were inciting 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 develop it in just a few years.

Returning to the homepage of the partition.

Choosing the 【1959】 timeline, 【Asia】, 【Republic】 stream partition, what came into view 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 it, and it was the same in every stream.

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

Especially since they had knowledge from Blue Star that far exceeded 'Earth', they would occasionally take it out and use it; anyway, it wouldn't affect others in individual plots.

Yu Feng scanned around and quickly locked onto some streams marked 【Two Bombs, One Satellite】.

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

However, in most of the scenes, there were only a small number of houses, and there wasn't even electricity.

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

Yu Feng frowned and chose a stream that hadn't started construction yet, preparing to watch from the beginning. ===== CHAPTER 252 =====
