Chapter 1145: Chapter 564: Hey! Mexico, Open the Door, It’s Your Son! (3)
Spain: “Ababababa…”
But the most eye-catching event was on April 20, 1993.
Even the Pope stepped up, hoping both sides would remain calm, willing to use “God” to guide them to halt the war, and even met with US Secretary of Defense Norman Schwarzkopf, though what they talked about specifically is unknown.
But on the next day, April 21.
The Vatican suddenly announced the 73-year-old Pope John Paul II suddenly fell ill and went to the embrace of God.
This led mainstream media in Europe to start questioning Defense Secretary Norman Schwarzkopf, “What exactly did you do!”
The BBC even made a satirical cartoon depicting the US Defense Secretary having a boxing match with the aged Pope, saying nothing directly but implying deeply that he was responsible for the death of John Paul II.
For a time, Europe was quite lively.
Those unaware might think they were preparing to form a “Pope’s Crusade” against the United States.
He’s dead, so dead and gone, the old man.
And in the Latin America region, there was even more fear…
If a regional superpower suddenly falls, it’s very unfriendly to regional security, considering the Latin American region has many mutual grudges.
For instance, the Beagle Strait crisis, Chile and Argentina nearly went to war, resolved peacefully after Papal mediation, oh, the Pope was an Argentine.
Then there was the Peru-Ecuador border conflict, the 1941 war, where Peru occupied Ecuadorian territory, and later signed the Rio Protocol.
The 1981 conflict over the disputed Condor Mountain Range.
And the famous War of the Triple Alliance: Paraguay vs. Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay, where Paraguay was defeated, lost territory, and its population sharply reduced by 60%, although it has been over a hundred years since then, Paraguayans still hold grudges internally.
Not to mention the Football War between Salvador and Honduras.
Mostly, the region stays calm due to the mediation led by the “Organization of American States” orchestrated by the US.
Though they dislike the domineering Yankees, deep down they’re very obedient to the big brother.
Now that he’s down, people are bewildered, confused, and helpless, and in such circumstances, Mexico’s importance suddenly becomes apparent.
April 26.
Chilean politician and military man, former President and Army Commander-in-Chief of Chile, Augusto Pinochet told reporters he hopes to go to Mexico to meet with Victor to discuss the “American situation” with him.
This statement was heavily condemned by many pro-US media, saying he was showing his traitorous nature again, having betrayed Allende in the past, and now intending to betray the United States.
He is a deceitful villain!
Allende’s ghost will always haunt him, and Pablo Neruda will always curse him!
Some even interviewed Mexico, but Goebbels was very calm, “We welcome all friends’ visits, but we have no intention of stirring up infighting in North America, the American situation continues to develop steadily under US involvement, and we’re very pleased to continue to shine under US leadership.”
???
Latin American countries: You’re making me look foolish!
Rejected Augusto Pinochet never spoke again, but according to rumors, already tormented by illness, he shouted three times in his hospital room, “Allende! Allende! Allende!” before succumbing to illness.
But this news has not been confirmed by Chile.
The little tyrant in the Middle East was most worried about the US encountering mishaps, originally preparing to go to war with Syria, now faced with tremendous pressure, Yitzhak Rabin began seeking political solutions to the Golan Heights dispute.
The tone in the media softened greatly.
But little did anyone know that this softness attracted the attention of many extremists.
And in Asia…
South Korea: Daddy, don’t die, don’t die yet, your son wants to stay with you!
Japan looked around, noticing all his neighbors gazing at him with some hostility, especially the big brother, staring with a face full of resentment, under immense public opinion pressure, he swallowed his pride, wagged his tail like a dog at his neighbors, but also hoped his own daddy wouldn’t die.
What a buzz!
But no one noticed the major event happening on an Indian freighter rocking in the Gulf of Mexico.
Deputy Defense Minister Calvin Waller met the Indian Deputy Defense Minister, along with a 20-member Black Cat Special Forces unit.
The overall big picture had been discussed by the bigwigs, he was just there for reception.
“Sir, you’re being so cautious, can you tell us what you need our help with?” Deputy Defense Minister Ajay Kuma asked in a deep voice, his bald head chilled by the sea breeze.
“Didn’t Mr. Sharad Pawar tell you anything?”
“No, they just instructed me to take full charge, saying specific actions would be notified upon arrival.”
Indians can be this secretive?
Calvin Waller furrowed his brow, feeling uneasy, but decided to brush aside his doubts, maybe… the other side was simply keeping military secrets?
Was he being too harsh on the Indians?
“We need you to decapitate Texas Governor Paul Constantine Stuart.”
The eyes of Indian Deputy Defense Minister Ajay Kuma widened instantly, his brain muddled with confusion.
“Huh?”
…
And thousands of miles away in New Delhi.
Sharad Pawar, with a red dot on his forehead, rose after bowing before the Three-Phase God, pulled out an 8848 phone from his pocket, scrolled through some numbers, and dialed.
“Hello, is this Mr. Paul Constantine Stuart? I have something to discuss with you.”
“…”
Ten minutes later, Sharad Pawar hung up with a smile.
“Ajay Kuma, don’t blame me, you always complain the most, carrying the pot falls to you.”
