MTL - Big Time 1958-Chapter 927 Central American storm

   "Increase investment and make Nicaragua submit." This was the first thing Reagan did after returning home. The United States could not bear the appearance of a second Cuba under its nose. Attitude was important.

This time, the Nicaraguan government army, the leader of the Vietnamese military advisory group, began to attack the jungle area in northern Nicaragua. The opponent was the Nicaraguan Democratic Forces supported by the United States. Of course, all the anti-government armed forces in Nicaragua are supported by the United States, as long as they oppose The pro-Soviet government will do.

The war broke out in May. The Vietnamese, who were also very familiar with the jungle warfare experience, took over the command of the Nicaraguan government army, and also had the support of the Soviet Union. In the words of the head of the KGB in Latin America, "restraint will only help. To make the situation worse, the former dictatorship caused the deaths of tens of thousands of ordinary people in half a year. It is irresponsible for the national security to be replaced by the revolutionary armed forces we support but have to worry about the so-called reputation.”

"Forests are alive. In jungle warfare, ears are more important than glasses." The Vietnamese military adviser taught righteously and sternly. In the eyes of Vietnamese, the Nicaragua War is like a security war that exists at any time. It will never stop. Tactically, jungle warfare has affected the performance of many high-tech weapons. Sometimes ears are more important than eyes in the jungle. In the jungle, your energy will be consumed by everything around you.

  In the jungle battle, short weapons and automatic weapons are the main ones. A few are equipped with long weapons. The denser the formation, the safer it may be, but in any case, the liaison with the group is very important in combat. Identification of friend or foe is also very important. Another point is that life security during jungle operations is also very important, and food security is for the security of the body.

  The biggest change that the Vietnamese brought to the Niangaragua government army was the organization of the government army. This has played a huge role in this prepared settlement. Under the command of the Vietnamese, 20,000 Nicaraguan government troops entered the northern jungle and began to clear the armed forces of the Nicaraguan Democratic Forces.

   If the Soviet Union sent its own country's advisers as commanders, it might not have played as much role as the Vietnamese. After all, the Soviet Union is a cold country, and there is no such combat environment at all. On the contrary, Vietnam and Nicaragua are both tropical countries, and the combat experience of Vietnamese soldiers is equally applicable here.

   For the Nicaraguan government army, the biggest difficulty is not on the battlefield, but outside the battlefield. For example, the anti-government forces in northern Nicaragua have not been cleared several times because the northern neighbor is the pro-American military government of Garcia. The Garcia military government cooperated with the US strategy and accommodated the anti-government armed forces in Nicaragua, which is the reason for the unstable political situation in Nicaragua.

As of the establishment of the Garcia military government, more than 130 coups have occurred in the 150 years since Honduras became independent. The news was immediately sent to Lubyanka by local KGB intelligence officers, and then transferred to the Kremlin. , to the General Secretary Shelov who just returned

   "Is that so?" Serov was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Then inform Cuba that the Soviet side thinks that the assessment of the revolutionary situation in Honduras needs to be corrected. By the way, who is the general secretary of the Communist Party of Honduras."

   "It's Comrade Agabido Robledo!" Ligachev immediately added that he, who took over Suslov, knew better than Serov about the communist parties around the world.

"General Secretary Agabido Robledo!" Serov said indifferently, "The fire of revolution is burning, and it is not something that some countries can stop if they want to stop it!" This shows that the Soviet Union decided to It's time for Honduras.

The medium used by    is Cuba, the leader of the Latin American armed revolution. Although the Cuban country is small, it is far more keen on exporting revolution than the Soviet Union, otherwise it would not have the nickname of the smallest hegemonic country. The Cuban Expeditionary Force's military operations across the Atlantic to aid Angola have not ended to this day.

  Cuba is a supporter of many communist parties in Latin America, and has a huge influence. In particular, almost half of the cadres of the communist parties in Central America have studied in Cuba. This force can be used by the Soviet Union, mainly because of Cuba's very special and important position in the Soviet camp.

  The opinion of the Soviet Union was quickly sent to Havana. For the support of the revolutionary cause in Latin America, the Soviet Union has long believed in a policy of not taking the initiative to provocateur. Of course, it is good for pro-Soviet countries to appear. It's just that there has been too much action in Chile, and even Nicaragua, which is now fighting a civil war, is mainly credited by Cuba. It was only when Cuba achieved results that the Soviet Union came to add the icing on the cake.

  The Castro brothers immediately called back Serov and asked if it was time to push the revolution. Moscow's reply was also very simple. In a small dictatorial country in Central America, the war of liberation is not an issue that cannot be considered. But it is not yet time to take the Barnabas question into account.

   Several important golden waterways in the world today, the Strait of Malacca is half of the Soviet Union, and the Suez Canal is in the hands of the Soviet Union. The Barnabas Canal was completely untouched by the Soviet Union. In addition to the reason why the Soviet Union could not reach it, the response of the United States was also the main factor. Once the Barnabas Canal became the target of the Soviet Union, the United States might go into battle in person.

   "The global game is like playing Go. You can't just make the pro-Soviet government in Nicaragua suffer. If Reagan insists on doing this, we will force the United States to spit out more benefits than the loss." Serov said in his reply.

  In the environment of the Cold War, it is not just a stage for the two camps. Many third world countries are also using this environment to seek benefits for their own countries. The Cold War also gave these small countries opportunities. Take Barnabas' ruler, General Noriega.

   This Panamanian ruler has nothing to do with the Soviet Union. Strictly speaking, he is still a member of the Soviet enemy camp. Like the current ruler of Ethiopia, he was trained in the United States. He also participated in the Far Friends class on Fraud Island, and was a classmate with Gaddafi, but this person was also dissatisfied with the control of the Panama Canal by the United States and wanted to take back the canal. It is no different from Egypt's recovery of the Suez Canal controlled by Britain and France, but the opponent is different.

  Egypt is facing Britain and France, which are already in decline, and Barnabas is facing the United States, which is in its prime. Panama is also far from Egypt's national strength. The only Soviet Union that can compete with the United States is too far from Central America.

Even so, the Cold War confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States still gave Noriega such an opportunity to recover the Panama Canal. The peak of the Soviet Union’s global offensive was also the year when the pro-Soviet government in Nicaragua was established. Panama seemed to see hope, and Noriega came to the fore at that time. The Carter administration of the United States was forced to sign a treaty with the government of Panama, agreeing to gradually return the canal to Panama and withdraw its troops from Panama.

   Shelov concluded that Reagan would not recognize this treaty. Noriega had investigated many pro-Soviet guerrillas and sold them to the CIA, but as long as Noriega took the road of anti-Americanism, the Soviet Union would definitely find a way to support him.

  Because of Nicaragua's liquidation operation, the domestic media in the United States once again called for support for Nicaragua's freedom fighters, and the Nicaraguan civil war once again became the focus of the American people. This time, there is one more focus, the Vietnamese military advisory group commanding the Nicaraguan government army.

  The Vietnam War is a lingering shadow in the hearts of Americans. That war was a defeat in any way, because South Vietnam had perished, and the United States could not even console it as a draw. The defeat of the war dealt an unprecedented blow to the United States, and the subsequent global offensive of the Soviet Union almost crushed the self-confidence of the United States.

  The self-confidence of the United States was restored only after Reagan took office. The news that the Vietnamese military advisory group appeared in Nicaragua. For different supporters and different effects, some people think of the failure of the Vietnam War, and the other part wants revenge. The United States under Reagan's leadership is mostly the latter.

   In a revenge speech, Reagan took advantage of the situation to support the Nicaraguan Democratic League even more boldly. During the one-month settlement war, the Nicaraguan government forces have traveled to almost every place in the northern jungle. The battles that may break out at any time and the boring combat life are second. After all, the government forces have an overwhelming manpower advantage, but it takes a long time. It's not always the way.

   "Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen, if it weren't for donations from dozens of fraternal countries, Nicaragua would have been unable to support it now." It was the Cuban advisor who was speaking, and the Cuban was responsible for communicating with the Vietnamese military advisor. It is indeed unrealistic for the Vietnamese to find so many soldiers who understand Spanish.

   "The Soviets who came to our country once said that tropical countries cannot starve to death." Lieutenant Colonel Ruan smiled and felt the tropical rain forest in Nicaragua. "From the natural conditions, the tropical climate can indeed help us solve some of the problems."

   At this moment, a rush of gunfire sounded, alerting the two people in the conversation at the same time. The military advisor in Vietnam immediately issued a combat order, which was conveyed by the Cubans, and an encounter in the depths of the jungle suddenly broke out.

Half an hour later, the jungle battle was over. Three government troops were killed and seven members of the rebels were killed. When the two walked to the place where the fighting broke out, they both shook their heads secretly, not knowing how long this encounter would continue. For a long time, I always thought of a solution, "Keep the remains of our soldiers, and put the enemy here." The Cubans gave the order on behalf of the military adviser.

   At the same time, the communication between Havana and Moscow was drawing to a close, and Moscow, which had fully listened to Cuba's opinion, allowed revolutionary attempts at liberation actions, and an undercurrent began to gather in Central America.

  This is the hottest season of the year. The sound of gunfire woke everyone up in the middle of the night, so they held back their nervousness and hid at home.
