Chapter 860： Mandela

"Last time we determined the new movement of the Americans, our KGB has used more power, especially in South Africa, we have more dark lines, we have got the latest intelligence, the United States wants to monopolize South Africa's mineral resources. , used as a bargaining chip to lift the sanctions, but the South African high-level rejected the US request." The chairman of the KGB introduced.

​​

All the high-level Soviets were present, and they were extremely surprised by Andre's strategic vision. Just after the war in South America ended, Andre had foreseen that there might be a situation in Africa, and now, not long after, Confirms Andre's point.

​​

Americans, they really want to attack South Africa!

​​

So, is this situation beneficial or detrimental to the Soviet Union?

​​

"Mineral resources are the economic lifeline of South Africa, of course the Boers will not agree." Ustinov said: "I don't know what the Americans will do next. If the Americans use force, should we pull the Boers? A handful?"

​​

Now, in South Africa, the side supported by the Soviet Union is hostile to South Africa. In Angola, the two sides are still fighting fiercely. At this time, the Americans intervened, which caused a problem for the Soviet Union.

​​

"Of course not! The Boers are the enemies of our allies, and we should help the blacks beat the whites." Gromyko said, "As for the filth in the United States and South Africa, it has nothing to do with us."

​​

As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gromyko was thinking of those younger brothers in Angola, helping the Boers at this time? How does this work?

​​

Andre frowned. Gromyko has a high prestige in the party. Since he said this, someone will definitely agree.

​​

Sure enough, some people continued to discuss, let the white people eat dogs, the Soviet Union watched the fun and so on, even Ustinov nodded, he just wanted to repeat what he said. The example of Argentina, but, after all, the specific situation of each country is different. Argentina does not have a deep conflict with the Soviet Union, while in Angola, the Boers-backed UNITA and the Soviet-backed Angola People's Movement are inextricably linked. After the opening of diplomatic relations, even Cuba, at the behest of the Soviet Union, dispatched troops to help fight the war. South Africa often makes excuses to send troops directly into Angola.

​​

Under such circumstances, how could the Soviet Union support South Africa! Support the Boers!

​​

However, Andre faintly felt that something was wrong. He was familiar with the history of later generations, and of course he knew what would happen if the South African white regime and the United States confronted the United States. Now, with the decline of the United States, South Africa is more important than the United States. In other words, cooperating with the white regime is obviously not as simple and convenient as cooperating with the black regime.

​​

And once there is a change in the South African regime and the black people are in power, it is simply handing over South Africa to the United States! With South Africa's mineral resources, the United States may be able to slow down!

​​

"Everyone, I remember a saying that the enemy of the enemy is the friend." Andre said: "With the rejection of the white regime this time, can you imagine that the Americans will give up?"

​​

Politicians are capricious. For the sake of profit, the enemy who kills his father can sit together. But now, Andre couldn't directly convince these people in front of him, he could only continue to persuade them.

​​

Americans, of course, will not give up! They have long coveted the mineral resources of South Africa!

​​

"Americans will not give up, so after the white regime rejects the good intentions of the Americans, the Americans will definitely find a way to support the black regime!" Andre said: "The black regime supported by the United States, then It will become a lackey of the United States, willing to give everything from South Africa to the United States.”

​​

"How is that possible?" Gromyko said: "Those blacks have a similar sense of identity with the United States as they do with the Soviet Union? Why do they become the lackeys of the Americans instead of following us."

​​

"That depends on how they are inspired." Andre said, "Ordinary people are easily inspired by their leaders. For example, black people in South Africa now believe in their leader, Mandela."

​​

"Mandela? The guy who's still in prison?" Gromyko said. "What can he do to lead South Africa again? Unless he comes out of prison."

​​

Hearing this, Andre suddenly came to understand a lot: "No, it seems that the Americans are going to pick up Mandela's chess piece!"

​​

…………

​​

Mandela, whose full name is Nelson-Rolihera-Mandela, was born in a noble family, and was the only one in the family who went to school. While in college, he met the most important partners of his life at Wits University in Johannesburg, and then anti-apartheid comrades in arms: Joslovo, Harris Wards, and Ruth Foster.

​​

In 1944, Mandela participated in the African National Congress of South Africa, which advocates non-violent struggle, and began his brilliant life against apartheid. In 1962, Mandela was imprisoned and entered prison. Started a 27-year prison term.

​​

Initially, he was held in the Pretoria District Prison. The detention time is as long as 23 hours a day, with only half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the afternoon each day. After that, Mandela was transferred to Robben Island. This is the largest secret prison in South Africa, where Mandela spent nearly 18 years before being transferred to Porsmoor Prison.

​​

And now, Mandela is still in Poulsmoor Prison, eight years before he was released by the South African authorities This is located in Cape Town, west of the Atlantic Ocean, near the Cape of Good Hope. There is a damp smell in the air, and the environment in the prison is even worse.

​​

In one of the cells, there were no windows and it was dark and damp. In the cell, there was only a single middle-aged man. His hair was very long and he smelled sour, but his eyes were still very bright. God, his hand, is holding a pen and is writing something.

​​

South Africa's apartheid policy is illegal! Black people in South Africa must fight for their legitimate rights and interests! And he, even though he is in the cell now, will continue to fight!

​​

He is the black fighter, Mandela!

​​

Although he has been imprisoned for twenty years, his ideal has not been shattered. He believes that his wish will definitely be realized! Now, he is not as lonely as he was in Pretoria prison. He can receive news from the outside world. He knows that more and more foreign groups are supporting black people in South Africa and supporting them to overthrow apartheid. policy!

​​

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and suddenly there were several roars of motors on the silent sea. (To be continued.)
