The Edge of Eternity, Chapter XVIII

U.S. intelligence agents have accurately analyzed that Cuba already has short-range nuclear missiles, and although the range of such missiles is not far, it is more than enough to hit Washington and destroy the political heart of the United States.

Today, the Cuban Missile Crisis is no longer a contradiction between the United States and the Soviet Union, which threatens the survival and security of the entire world. The atmosphere at Williams' house in Britain is tense, and Law lloyd and his wife, Daisy, are flipping through media reports from around the world, hoping to find clues to a peace. Daughter Yvi is a typical liberal who hates hegemony in all its forms, so she hates the house and the house as an accomplice to the potential war. Son Dave sniffed the business opportunity from the crisis, and he made 360 small Cuban flags to make a small profit during the anti-war parade. Gaspar, who lives at Williams' house, is more concerned about his own journalism, for whom it does not matter where the atomic bomb lands, and it is the top priority to become the editor of the school magazine and then become a newspaper industry.

The streets of Washington were calm as usual, but George clearly felt the dark waves of the White House. There are countless pairs of eyes staring at people entering and leaving the White House, and every word they reveal, intentionally or unintentionally, can be the basis for speculating on President Kennedy's latest move. George, despite his caution, let his guard down on a black journalist — "The inspection of freighters heading for Cuba is just the beginning," a phrase that President Kennedy said in a televised address, but because George quoted it to Reuters reporters, it was extended to mean that the United States would take further military action against the Soviet Union's deployment of missiles in Cuba.

I once read a satirical piece in which Agents of the United States and the Soviet Union repeatedly exaggerated their words in the exchange of intelligence, and finally portrayed a trivial event as the fuse of an inevitable all-out war. Journalists, on the other hand, will also make unpredictable changes in the situation because of the untimely addition of oil and vinegar.

Khrushchev wrote a letter to Kennedy in which he dismissed the Threat of War in the United States, noting that "the United States and the Soviet Union suffered the same consequences" and once again arguing that "if the United States does not invade Cuba, then there is no need for Soviet military advisers to exist in Cuba." Politicians have always left room for themselves, and Khrushchev's letter, which does not mention anything about withdrawing nuclear weapons from Cuba, has fully demonstrated the attitude of concessions, despite the fact that such concessions require opponents to retreat at equal distances.

How exactly would John F. Kennedy respond? Countless people can't sleep at night, wandering between life and death.
