英语听力：切格瓦拉的故事 - 11

 Over the next 18 months, hundreds, some say, thousands of people are executed by firing squad¹. The killings² helped cement Che's terrifying reputation

 

Both of them, they are killers³, they are murderers, Castro has killed thousands of people, and Che Guevara has killed thousands of people too,so Che was a devil.

 

Along with the guilty, some claim that many innocent men are also executed.

 

That is the reason why a lot of people hate him so much, because he got so many families to grieve.

 

Were innocents killed? Possibly, i don't know of any, particularly

 

What this did, though, has showed that Fidel meant business, though as a guerrilla revolution. Cuba is a dangerous place.

 

As Che continues with the war tribunals, the same questions in the United States regarding the new regime are being asked across the globe by Soviet⁴ premier⁵ Nikita Khrushchov

 

My father asked intelligence KGB, his political analyst⁶, who are these guys. They answered that, one man sent to America dictator replaced, another sent to American dictator, for sure, they are pro-united-states and maybe they are agents of CIA, with no idea that they can be socialists⁷

 

Realizing he has to appease⁸ US concerns, Fidel Castro travels to Washington on April 15th 1959 "......that is why we are not ～ communism"

 

He met with vice⁹ president Nixon, claimed famously to the American president that he was not a Marxist, denied it, and said he was a democratic humanist. Fidel at least in those initial events, kept everyone guessing

 

But behind the scenes, Fidel Castro had already allied¹⁰ with Cuba's communist party

 

It will always be an open question whether Fidel became a Marxist himself because of pragmatic opportunity? Or evolved overtime¹¹ .There is no doubt Fidel Castro was influenced by Che's ideological¹² convictions. Che was vital in being a sounding board, and an adviser¹³ to Fidel, and during the key years, in these years ,when he built up his role as the revolutionary strong man and also in turning him leftward

 

Fidel Castro shares Che's ideology¹⁴ and determination in changing the course of Cuba.  Secretly, he had Che and some of his more radical¹⁵ colleagues meeting and privately¹⁶ drafting the outlines of the future communist state of Cuba

 

The government begins to prepare for Cuba's agrarian¹⁷ reform law which calls for the seizure¹⁸ of private property, but before the plan is implemented¹⁹, Che is sent overseas

 

So, to American spies watching Cuba and even a lot of Cubans they thought that ,ah, Fidel has marginalized Che, he has gotten that radical out of the way.

 

June 12 1959 Che leaves Cuba to visit Asia Africa and Europe and makes his first contact with the Soviet Union, he offers them a deal, the US had rejected, to buy several million tons of Cuban sugar

 

It was the rule of the cold war, even you don't think that these people will be your allies or your friends, but if they deny to do something negative to your enemy, you have to help them
