Anastas Mikoyan stared at the Premier. " You know the Americans will be outraged that we violated their Monroe Doctrine".
" Anastas, your concerns are noted".
" Premier, I'm concerned about my children". His voice hesitated. " A nuclear exchange of atomic bombs will destroy everything".
" Prime Minister Mikoyan, we are going to place missiles in Cuba in complete secrecy".
" In complete secrecy?".
Khrushchev grinned. " Then the Americans will have to accept things as they are".
" And how do we do that?".
" We are taking every precaution ensuring utmost secrecy".
Foreign Minister Gromyko stared at the Premier. " Castro has approved this plan?".
" Yes". Khrushchev smiled. " He wants to be powerful and invincible just like anybody else".
Mikoyan shook his head. " Premier, this is a huge gamble".
" President Kennedy will not want a world war". He frowned. " Neither do we".
