Chapter 861 Mandela

"Last time after we confirmed the new movements of the Americans, we, the KGB, mobilized more forces, especially in South Africa, where we have more secret lines. We have obtained the latest intelligence that the United States wants to monopolize South Africa's mineral resources and use it as a bargaining chip to lift sanctions. However, the South African top leaders rejected the U.S. request." said the KGB chairman.

Those present were all high-ranking Soviet officials, and they were extremely surprised at Andrei's strategic vision. Just after the war in South America ended, Andrei had predicted that there might be problems in Africa, and now, not long after, Andrei's point of view was confirmed.

The Americans 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. The Boers will certainly not agree to this." Ustinov said, "I don't know what the Americans will do next. If the Americans use force, should we help the Boers?"

Now, in South Africa, the party 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 and posed a problem to the Soviet Union.

"Of course we can't pull the Boers! The Boers are the enemies of our allies. We should help the blacks fight the whites." Gromyko said: "As for the various filthiness of the United States and South Africa, it has nothing to do with us."

As foreign minister, Gromyko was thinking about his fellow vassals in Angola. How could he help the Boers at this time?

Andrei frowned. Gromyko had a high prestige in the party. Since he said so, there would definitely be people who agreed with him.

Sure enough, some people continued to discuss that the white people should just fight each other and the Soviet Union should just watch the fun. Even Ustinov nodded. He just said that because he wanted to repeat the example of Argentina. However, the specific situation of each country was different. Argentina did not have too deep a conflict with the Soviet Union. In Angola, the UNITA supported by the Boers and the MPLA supported by the Soviet Union were fighting each other. Even Cuba, at the instruction of the Soviet Union, sent troops to help fight. South Africa often found excuses to directly send troops into Angola.

In this case, how could the Soviet Union support South Africa! Support the Boers!

However, Andre felt something was wrong. Being familiar with later history, he certainly knew the consequences of the confrontation between the white regime in South Africa and the United States. Now, with the decline of its economy, the United States attached more importance to South Africa. For the United States, cooperating with the white regime was obviously not as simple and convenient as cooperating with the black regime.

Once the South African regime changes and black people are in power, it will be like handing South Africa over to the United States! With South Africa's mineral resources, the United States may be able to recover!

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

Politicians are fickle. For the sake of interests, even the murderer of his father and the enemy can sit together. And now, Andre can't directly convince these people in front of him, so he can only continue to persuade them.

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

"The Americans will not give up. So, after the white regime rejects the Americans' goodwill, the Americans will definitely find a way to support the black regime!" Andre said: "The black regime supported by the United States will become a running dog of the United States and will be willing to give everything in South Africa to the United States."

"How is that possible?" Gromyko said, "Those black people identify with the United States just as they do with the Soviet Union, right? Why would they be running dogs for the Americans instead of following us?"

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

"Mandela? The guy who's still in prison?" Gromyko asked. "How can he lead South Africa again? Unless he gets out of prison."

Hearing this, Andre suddenly understood a lot of things in a flash: "Oh no, it seems that the Americans are going to pick up this chess piece of Mandela!"

………

Mandela, whose full name is Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, was born into an aristocratic family and was the only one in the family who had been to school. While in college, he met the most important partners in his life at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, and later his comrades in the anti-apartheid movement: Joe Slovo, Harry Swartz and Ruth Foster.

In 1944, Mandela joined the African National Congress of South Africa, which advocated non-violent struggle, and began his glorious life of opposing the apartheid policy. In 1962, Mandela was imprisoned and began his 27-year imprisonment.

At first, he was imprisoned in Pretoria Local Prison. He was detained for 23 hours a day, with only half an hour of activity time in the morning and afternoon. After that, Mandela was transferred to Robben Island, the largest secret prison in South Africa. Here, Mandela spent nearly 18 years, and then he was transferred to Pollsmoor Prison.

And now, Mandela remains in Pollsmoor Prison, eight years away from being released by the South African authorities.

This place is located in Cape Town, bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the west and near the Cape of Good Hope. The air is filled with a damp smell, and the environment in the prison is even worse.

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

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

The night was getting darker and darker, and suddenly, the roar of several motors was heard above the silent sea.
