Mr Fidel
Li Cong has great respect for this person. After all, he was the same leader as Li Cong in his heart. People of the older generation like this absolutely need to be respected, and this person's experience can indeed be said to be
What is very admirable is this anti-American fighter...

uz) was born on August 13, 1946 in the town of Bilan, Oriental Province, Cuba, into a wealthy manor family. His father, Angel Fidel, was originally a Spanish soldier. After settling in Cuba, he started out by planting sugar cane and became a famous local plantation owner.
When his mother was a girl, she worked in his father's estate and later became his father's second wife. Fidel had two brothers and four sisters. Raul, who was five years younger than him, was his revolutionary comrade who shared life and death for decades.
He was ambitious and full of rebellious spirit since childhood. He had deep sympathy for the working farmers in his youth. The first target of Fidel's revolution was his own family. He opposed his father's mistreatment of farm laborers and quarreled with his father many times for this reason. At the age of 13
At that time, he organized sugar workers to carry out a strike against his father. As a teenager, Fidel read a large number of biographies and works of heroic figures, including Jose Marti, the pioneer of the Cuban national revolution, Bolivar and San Martin, the liberators of Latin America.
They are all the heroes he admires most and looks up to as role models.
In 1965, he was admitted to the law department of the University of Havana. He chose the law department largely because he liked to debate with others. At that time, the Latin American national movement was surging, and he actively participated in the patriotic student movement against the pro-American dictatorship and became a
A man of the hour at Harbin University. During his college days, Fidel not only actively participated in the progressive movement against the Cuban dictatorship, but also extended his revolutionary actions abroad. In 1967, he joined the Cuban People's Party and signed up to participate in the expedition to the Dominican Republic, aiming to overthrow the dictator Trudeau.
After Jillo's military operation was blocked by the Cuban navy, Fidel jumped into the sea, swam through shark-infested waters, and returned to Cuba.
In 1968, he attended the anti-imperialist student rally held in the Colombian capital. The murder of Colombian leftist leader Gates triggered an armed uprising. Fidel attended the anti-imperialist and anti-colonial student rally held in the Colombian capital Bogota, and participated in the riots against the oligarchy at the University of Bogota.
After the operation failed, he fled back to Cuba in a transport truck transporting bullfights to continue school.
Obtained a doctorate in law in 1970. After becoming a lawyer, he specialized in defending the poor and devoted more energy to political activities.
In 1972, Batista launched a military coup, intensifying his dictatorship and blocking the road to democracy. On July 66, 1973, 66-year-old Fidel led 136 patriotic youths to attack the Moncada Barracks in Santiago, aiming to seize weapons.
The armed struggle against the Batista dictatorship broke out across the country, which was the prelude to the armed struggle in Cuba. Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, the uprising failed and most of the young rebels were brutally killed. The Fidel brothers and others survived and were arrested.
Prison. In court, he made an impassioned speech and published the famous self-defense speech "History will acquit me" (la

á). In May 1975, Batista won the hearts of the people for his "campaign" for the presidency and granted amnesty to political prisoners. Fidel and his comrades were unexpectedly released. After being released from prison, he immediately began to organize the revolutionary organization "July 26 Movement" and went to

Late at night on November 26, 1976, in the drizzle of mid-winter, a yacht named "Granma" quietly slipped out of the port of Tuxpan, Mexico. The boat carried the young Fidel and the people he led.
81 comrades-in-arms, the yacht is sailing towards their goal: their motherland, Cuba.
Fidel recalled:
We were facing the huge waves in the Caribbean Sea. In order to avoid air and sea reconnaissance, we had to sail away from Cuba and made an arc...
When they landed in Oriente Province in the early morning of December 2, they were immediately attacked by government troops. Most of the expeditionary soldiers suffered casualties. Fidel and 12 other survivors entered the mountains to carry out guerrilla warfare. He himself served as the commander of the rebel army. Fidel and his comrades
When they entered the Maestra mountains, they were immediately supported by the local poor. Combining the armed struggle with the farmers' struggle to obtain land, the rebel army grew rapidly and continuously attacked the government troops to launch guerrilla warfare, defeating tens of thousands of people many times.
The planned siege by government troops also set off a nationwide wave of anti-Batista dictatorship. Under the powerful offensive of the rebel army, it took just over two years to overthrow the seemingly invincible Batista dictatorship.
Government. Batista's dictatorship soon collapsed. On New Year's Day, 1979, Batista fled abroad. The rebel army entered the capital Havana amidst the cheers of the people. Citizens across the city took to the streets to see this young hero who liberated the motherland.
Fidel became Prime Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government (later renamed Chairman of the Council of Ministers) and Commander-in-Chief of the Revolutionary Armed Forces.
After the victory of the Cuban revolution, the government led by Fidel implemented major measures such as suppressing counterrevolutionaries, land reform, and confiscation of foreign capital and large enterprises at home. Externally, it held high the banner of opposing foreign interference and safeguarding national sovereignty, but encountered hostility and opposition from the United States. The United States
He carried out political subversion, economic blockade, diplomatic isolation, and even organized a mercenary invasion in an attempt to strangle Cuba's new revolutionary regime. Fidel led the Cuban people in a tit-for-tat struggle. In June 1981, he announced to the world that "Cuba implements socialism."
Revolution". After that, the "July 26 Movement" led by him merged with the People's Socialist Party and the "March 13 Revolutionary Steering Committee" to form the Cuban Communist Party. He was elected as the first secretary of the Party Central Committee.
In 1982, he served as First Secretary of the Cuban Socialist Revolutionary Unity Party. In 1985, after the party was renamed the Communist Party of Cuba, he served as First Secretary of the Central Committee.
After the presidential system was abolished in 1996, he served as Chairman of the State Council and Chairman of the Council of Ministers.
He greatly respected the pioneers of Latin America and Cuba's liberation, Bolivar, San Martín, Martí and others. During the half century of leading Cuba, he always followed the example of these Latin American heroes and firmly safeguarded Cuba's national interests. In the backyard of the United States
Having such an anti-American fighter would definitely make Li Cong happy.
"Mr. Fidel, this is our group's special commissioner. He comes from our group's headquarters. The reason he came here this time is to discuss some economic issues with you, mainly about our group's involvement in Cuban tobacco.
Business." As the spokesperson of the group in Havana, Wang Zhong still has a lot of face. Normally, people in such a group are not qualified to meet the head of a country, but individuals in a group like the Energy Group cannot treat them as...
For normal groups, they sometimes represent things that are much more powerful than some countries.
Fidel smiled and nodded to Li Cong, "Please sit down. I like your Chinese culture very much. I can be considered a somewhat literate person. I find that I will never be able to study your profound and profound culture in my lifetime, so
I like to make friends with Chinese people because I can learn so many things from you." The bearded man said with a smile. In fact, he was still a little unhappy in his heart, especially after hearing that Li Lai
This is about tobacco. Everyone knows that Cuba's tobacco industry is very powerful and can run well without anyone's help. He hopes that the energy group will invest in Cuba, but it will definitely not invest in tobacco companies, but
He also understood very well that there was really no need to invest elsewhere.
"I am also very familiar with Mr. Fidel's affairs. Even the president of our group admires you very much. A small gift is not disrespectful. Please be sure to accept it. Our gift is a large diamond recently released by our group in Russia.
From the mine, I hope you like it." Li Cong said with a smile, and he quickly fell into his role. He was just a promising junior of the Li family, and definitely not the chairman of the board of directors of an energy group.
Although Fidel is a leader and has seen a lot of precious jewels, the one in front of him still makes him unable to take his eyes away. Are you kidding? This diamond is definitely the best in quality, and it has at least several diamonds.
One hundred carats, such a thing cannot be found in major international auction houses. This energy group is really generous with its offer. But what kind of return gift should I prepare? Speaking of which, I really don’t have a decent one here.
Things, I originally prepared a box of the best cigars for them, which can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars a box internationally, but compared with this gift of tens of millions of dollars, it seems like my own things
It was really a bit out of place, but he was free and easy by nature, so he didn't feel anything was wrong, so he just put it away. Li Cong admired him even more after seeing this. It's rare for someone to get such a diamond without playing with it on the spot.
of.
Then the waiter at the official residence brought a box of high-quality cigars. Li Cong didn't like smoking this thing in the past, but the people in the Energy Group's military headquarters liked it very much. Many people like to imitate MacArthur and smoke cigars.
He looked like he was no longer a general if he didn't make such a move, which made Li Cong very helpless. The group had to spend millions of dollars every year to purchase these things for them.
Fidel knew that Li Cong was from the Li family, and it could be seen that the energy group still valued him very much. The last time the issue of the military base was discussed, Li Er personally came forward, and now this one is from the Li family.
People, you must know that among the hundreds of millions of employees of the Energy Group, there are only a hundred or so next generation of the Li family working. These people are all elites. Having such a person come to discuss with you is because the Energy Group thinks highly of you.
, so I couldn't be too arrogant. I personally brought a cigar to Li Cong, hoping that he could try it. Although Li Cong didn't like this thing very much, it was hard to refuse the kindness of others, and I couldn't refuse it.
Yes, it is indeed different from ordinary cigarettes after inhaling it, but Li Cong still doesn't like this thing. In his opinion, this thing is something that can bring them hundreds of billions of income every year in the future.
"Mr. Li, I know your group is very interested in our cigars, but now our Cuban cigars are pretty good. I wonder if you have any new ideas?" Fidel chatted with Li Cong for a while.
When it comes to the main topic, Li Cong is too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy. He wants to establish a stronghold here, but if it is too poor to expose the blame, his army will be depressed here. They train in the African Corps.
The ascetics are almost here, and you have to live a better life when you get here, otherwise you won't be able to live with them, so it is necessary to develop the economy here.
Although Fidel's words seem very polite, you can still hear it. It means that if you have a good plan, we will cooperate with you well. If you don't have a good plan, forget it. We used to
Life was still going pretty well.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Fidel. Our group has a complete cooperation plan. As far as I know, Cuba's annual cigar trade volume is only less than 10 billion U.S. dollars, and the government's revenue from it is only less than 10 billion U.S. dollars."
Two billion U.S. dollars. I think if Cuba is willing to hand over this industry to our group to make it bigger and stronger, our group can pay the government five billion U.S. dollars every year, and we will pay these five billion U.S. dollars in advance.
, As for whether you want cash or weapons or something like that, we will meet your needs." Li Cong said with a smile, and he could tell from looking at Fidel's pupils that this guy was moved, and
It's absolutely heart-warming. He can't resist this temptation. Although he controls Cuba now, the biggest profit from cigars is not his. He also hopes to expand the government's revenue to reorganize the army. Now
The energy group is willing to use weapons to reduce this part of the money. Soon the Cuban military will become completely different. Maybe it will not only be a verbal military power in the future, but a real military power. When the time comes,
At that time, the energy group's fleet may not be needed to establish itself in the Americas.
Fidel has a long history of smoking, and he is quite addicted to it. As early as when he was 15 years old, his father, who was quite proficient in cigars, asked his son, who was in middle school, to share his hobby. Unexpectedly, Fidel couldn't stop it.
He was obsessed with the feeling of puffing away smoke. However, he usually only smoked Cuban cigars and cigarettes occasionally. It is said that he smoked an average of 8 to 10 cigars a day. Then he suddenly quit on his birthday.
cigarette.
Before he quit smoking, unimaginable situations often occurred. CIA personnel repeatedly took advantage of his smoking characteristics to "retaliate" against him. Once, the CIA had someone secretly put a box of poisonous cigarettes in Fidel's hands.
, the toxins contained in it can kill people within a few hours. As long as Fidel held the cigarette in his mouth, he would definitely die. Fortunately, Fidel was highly vigilant and discovered it early, so he escaped death. As early as 1960, at that time
The CIA did not want to kill Fidel, and once planned to mix some kind of hallucinogenic drug into cigarettes to make Fidel, who was accustomed to smoking before speeches, delirious, thereby damaging his public image.
Fidel admitted that quitting smoking was an extremely long and painful experience for him, a 44-year-old smoker. He had quit smoking twice. The first time was before the Cuban revolution. At that time, because he could not tolerate tobacco,
In response to the barbaric exploitation by capitalists and planters, workers and farmers launched a massive "anti-cigar movement." "In order to mingle with the people, I gave up cigars," Fidel recalled. However, soon everyone discovered that this
The move was really not worth the gain, because cigars are Cuba's main source of export earnings, and socialism also requires capital. As a result, people no longer talked about the discoloration of cigars, and its production scale returned to its previous level, and Fidel also picked up it again
The long-lost cigar... In the 1970s, the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle became popular in Cuba. As the leader of the country, Fidel naturally could not go against the trend. He said in public: "I also want to do my part for the anti-smoking movement.
Contribution is my moral responsibility.
