"Castro... Che Guevara..."

These days David has heard many stories from the Killer Demon about a turbulent century filled with heroes, which made his heart yearn, but he also felt melancholic about this era where heroes fade and the world remains chaotic.

However, if the Killer Demon told David the whole story behind the Bay of Pigs incident, he might gain a subtle new perspective on the matter.

This issue could even inspire Khan to produce a video discussing how the Kennedy government executed what could be considered the most disgraceful and abstract action since the founding of the United States, humiliating the CIA.

The plan began during Eisenhower's administration, and was executed after Kennedy took office in 1961, with the CIA assembling 1,500 Cuban exiles into a revolutionary army, comprising farmers, journalists, lawyers, musicians, and more.

Then the unexpected happened as expected, the operation leaked, and news headlines across America began reporting that the United States was organizing an army to overthrow the Cuban government, with people nationwide expressing their approval.

The Secretary of State advised against it, saying it was utterly unreliable, but the CIA director and the military thought they were invincible, believing the United States could easily handle a small country like Cuba, and kept egging Kennedy on.

"Meile Sect, rest assured, we're professionals in this field, absolutely reliable."

"Back then, Caster managed to overthrow the Cuban government with 82 people; today the CIA will overthrow the Cuban government with 1,500 people, it's not a problem."

"It's impressive, let me tell you."

"Can Castro's little group defeat us? If he can win against me, I'd eat this computer screen right on the spot!"

Then the operation began, trained Cuban pilots flew bombers to bomb the airport, but these people were scared of dying, circled around the airport without dropping a single bomb, and fled, reporting back:

"The entire Cuban Air Force has been annihilated, our people are safe and sound!"

Next came the landing operation, the CIA put all supplies and firearms on one landing craft, while other boats had Cuban Revolutionary Army soldiers armed with a few pistols and lacking even bulletproof vests.

The CIA felt the matter was settled, so they heavily boasted in the media, hired PR teams, released news, and leaked information on their own.

When the ships reached the sea, the radio signal frequency was improperly tuned, and they lost contact...

The CIA was in a panic, crazily calling on various channels; whether the people on the ship received the message was unknown, but American radio stations surely did, and it was public.

Then Castro found out, sent a bomber to sink the supply-laden landing craft; the defending soldiers tried to resist with machine guns, but failed to shoot down the plane, and poorly welded machine gun mounts fell off, killing many of their own.

Later, 'Revolutionary Army' support planes flew in the wrong direction, went to the United States, and faced a storm of American anti-aircraft fire.

In the end, this lost Cuban Revolutionary Army somehow ended up in a Cuban tourist area, disembarked to find themselves surrounded by over ten thousand tourists and troops. Eventually, to restore national honor, Kennedy had to make war reparations to Cuba, marking the only recorded war indemnity in United States history.

It was full of comedic effect.

Similarly, this incident also proves that all governments of the world are just makeshift troupes; don't hold high expectations for them.

David didn't know these historical details, but upon understanding the general outline of the Bay of Pigs incident, he suddenly felt that what he was doing seemed somewhat subtle.

"So aren't we doing the same thing as the United States did back then?"

Is it right to invade another country's territory like this?

Even during the peak of the CIA and United States, they failed then, what makes them think they can succeed now?

"All history is contemporary history, and you're right to think this way."

The Killer Demon walked beside David, patiently guiding him.

"Even though some things appear similar, different starting points and motives can lead to different results."

"The failure of the Bay of Pigs incident ultimately stems from the arrogance of the United States, and its neglect of the willingness of the Cuban people; Castro's ability to conduct a coup with 82 people while maintaining government functions and carrying out sweeping reforms in itself shows the broad support Castro received from Cubans, as well as the unpopularity of the previous government's dictatorship and corruption."

"Even if this operation hadn't leaked, even if 1,500 turned into 2,500 and succeeded in landing, the CIA still couldn't reclaim Cuba from Castro, the best possible result would be turning it into another Haiti, because CIA's intent couldn't garner support from Cubans, only plunging into endless people's struggle."

"Moreover, David, do you think we're here to cultivate a pro-American dictatorship?"

The Killer Demon pointed to the Cuban farmers working in the fields in the distance

"Do you think they very much embrace the rule of the current Cuban cartels?"

The emaciated, dark-skinned Cuban farmers bent over, working diligently in the fields, checking tobacco growth, without any visible prosthetics, engaging in immense manual labor with hardly a trace of mechanization, even with machine gun towers built by the cartels for alert.

This world doesn't need that many Cuban cigars, as a high-end luxury item roaming among the wealthy, naturally requiring the addition of the 'human' factor, including specialized planting and young women rolling tobacco on thighs, essentially using 'people' to add uniqueness to products, for they enjoy subjugating people, getting psychological satisfaction from the disparity in social status.

Tobacco grown by machines naturally doesn't attract wealthy people more than that grown by humans.

Even if Lin Miao wants to practice dictatorship and be New America's dog, players wouldn't agree.

David then nodded thoughtfully.
