On September 11, 1973, a coup broke out in the capital of Chile Santiago . Chilean President Allende was betrayed by Augusto Pinochet . The army organized the attack on the presidential palace. Allende finally led the presidential guard to fight fiercely with the rebels, and committed suicide by drinking and drinking at the last moment.

This coup was undoubtedly a tragedy, but it caused a question, that is, at that time, Allende was already in a state of anxiety due to the economic crisis in Chile, and Chile itself was about to launch a referendum to decide whether Allende will stay or not. If nothing unexpected happens, Allende will inevitably step down. Then why did the army finally rush Allende to the form of a coup? Is

a coup planned by the United States?

There is something about this, and it is generally believed that the United States planned this military coup. So is there any possibility? First of all, we will not deny that the United States is using a thug against Chile, because the United States not only did it, but also did it blatantly.

Whether it is selling copper reserves to suppress copper prices, lobbying European countries to refuse to purchase Chilean copper mines, instructing World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank to cut off loans to the Chilean government, cut off agricultural loans to Chile, and strictly prohibit the sale of grain to Chile, etc., it is essentially to increase Chile's agricultural crisis, and to destroy Chile's people's livelihood to get Allende down.

Of course, we do not deny that the United States supports Chile's opposition, that is, Chile's right-wing elements. Naturally, they also have the intention to launch a military coup, but this must be based on one premise, that is, Allende does not intend to step down, but intends to seize the right-wing with contradictions.

As the economic crisis in Chile is getting worse, if Allende wants to do this, he will be a complete evildoer. Americans support the army or the right-wing independence can be packaged as "liberation". Allende naturally becomes a "abnormal dictator" and a "only man" who intends to covet personal desires.

If we look at it from this perspective, Americans have the intention to engage in a military coup, but this is not the best solution. What is the best solution? That is to let the people of Chile drive Allende down by themselves. This is the best way to defeat Allende and even kill Chile's socialism. Why is this the best way?

Because Allende is the elected president, it was the people who pushed Allende to the throne of president. In other words, the people chose the Chilean Socialist Party and also chose Allende. Therefore, if the Chilean people themselves oust Allende, they can completely nail the Chilean Socialist Party and Allende to the pillar of shame, and make socialism have no hope in Chile.

Understanding this point, it is not difficult for us to see that the United States actually has a highest goal in overthrowing Allende. So can the United States achieve its own goal in September 1973? The answer is yes, Americans are about to succeed.

Because Chile's economic crisis has reached its peak, and the Chilean left and right have argued with each other on many issues, Allende's rule is completely unable to continue. The left is looking down on him, and the right also hates him. Although the people are willing to support Allende, the economic crisis is on the head, and the people are completely disappointed with Allende. The only thing Allend could do was hold a referendum, and the people would decide whether he could continue to serve as President of Chile.

Considering the dilemma faced by Chile at that time, Allende's resignation was a foregone conclusion. Americans wish Allende was resigned by the public, so Allende's reputation would be completely stunning. The United States does not have to worry about the people choosing another Allende No. 2, using the Chilean people's own hands to slander Allende, and nailing Allende to Chile's "pillar of shame" is a great ending for the United States.

As for using military coup to drive Allende off the power, this will only make Allende's reputation bottom and rebound, making him a noble martyr. Previously, the United States had recklessly supported the military coup, which led to Allende's success in taking office. This time, the United States will not make the same mistake again.

But since that's the case, the United States can just wait patiently for Allende to step down. Why does a sudden military coup occur? The reason is simple. Although the military coup is meaningless to the United States, the outsider, it is particularly meaningful to the opposition and military in Chile, at least they think it is meaningful. The reason is that they think Allende is just a delaying strategy, and the referendum is simply a cover. Soon after, Allende will gather strength to carry out a major purge, so they must first take action.

This sounds a bit ridiculous. Allende can't even control the factional problems in Chile. Where can he get the ability to do a great purge? Not to mention that the army is completely alienated from him. What can Allend use to carry out a major cleaning? Could it be that he carried the AK to clean himself?

Indeed, Allende does not have this ability, and his personality cannot create a great purge, but this does not mean that no one can say that he wants to do a great purge. So, who does this "represent" Allende's saying it wants to be cleansed? It is the left of the Chilean Socialist Party, and the head is Carlos Altamirano, the general secretary of the Chilean Socialist Party.

leftist who caused trouble to Allende

This Carlos Altamirano is the representative of the leftist party in Chile and is also the one who has dragged Allende down for a long time. Speaking of this, we have to talk about Allende's embarrassing situation in Chile. Simply put, the left thinks he is not radical enough, and the right thinks he is too radical, which means that Allende is not a human in the eyes of both the left and right factions.

. Compared with the right, the one who caused trouble for Allende after the economic outbreak, the left has caused trouble for Allende in the early days of Allende's rule. A typical example is the land reform issue and agricultural crisis in Chile at that time. If it were not for the left's random expansion of the crackdown and the destruction of Allende's policies, it would have been unlikely that this agricultural crisis would have broken out.

In fact, most of the many mistakes during Allende's rule were the result of this group of leftists' rebellion, because the left always hopes to adopt an end-to-end short-term, flat and fast treatment, completely ignoring the actual conditions of Chile. It basically does not do anything recklessly, and there is no specific policy of governing the country and governing the country at all.

This is also a prominent feature of the left-wing internationally. They do not do things to consider national interests at all, but to consider their own factional interests and political tendencies more, and to divert contradictions from the outside world if something happens. Of course, the right and left are also in a quarrel. Occasionally, this pair of ferry dragons and phoenixes can still be compatible, so neither of these two are good things.

Then the left has ruined the matter. Is there a way for the left to solve it? Of course there is no way, they can only find a way to transfer the contradiction and use one contradiction to cover the other contradiction. For example, the occupation of factories under the leadership of the left was one of them. This illegal act made Allende unable to get out of Taiwan at all, so he could only send police to drive the workers out of the factory. In the end, the problem was not solved, and Allende's reputation was corrupted.

Here everyone must pay attention to the fact that the left and right will do this when dealing with problems, and they all want to use one contradiction to divert another contradiction. But when the contradiction really breaks out, the left and right escape again, and letting the people kill to the death, it is equivalent to saying that neither of these two is good cakes.

Don’t think about it, the left side will cause trouble to Allende. This aspect is professional, and the efficiency may exceed that of the right and the United States. When the situation in Chile was already at the critical point of explosion, the leftists in Chile, especially the leftists of the Chilean Socialist Party, went to the army to fan the cold wind and light ghost fires when they had something to do. At the very least, they would incite soldiers alone to broadcast public opinion bombings on the radio. The core content was to teach soldiers how to kill officers and clean up the right wing and opposition. This behavior caused a small coup on June 9, 1973, but failed to restrain the leftists, but instead became more and more intense.

kills Allende's left-wing

The Altamirano we mentioned earlier is the person who jumped the most. On August 9, 1973, he ran to the Chilean naval base in Valparaiso and incited the naval soldiers to clear the officers in the navy. This behavior shocked the Navy's top leaders because Chile's political framework works well and Altamirano's behavior is completely unconstitutional, and it is not surprising to say that he conspires to launch a rebellion. If Allende hadn't protected Altamirano, the Navy would have planned to arrest Altamirano and shot him, but it was precisely because Altamirano was not dealt with that, the army would have been even more dissatisfied with Allende.

In the late period of Allende's rule, the Chilean Socialist Party led by Altamirano was a fool. When people from all walks of life, even Castro persuaded Allende to be low-key and not to stimulate the right and the opposition, the Chilean Socialist Party mobilized the police to seize the right-wing media on the grounds of suppressing the coup, and also spoke out to completely deal with the right.

Here everyone should understand one thing: the media has extremely high freedom and political correctness under the Western political framework. Seizing the media means you admit that everything the media says, even if it is false. It means that the actions of the left not only failed to help Allende, but also turned Allende into an image of a "one-man thief".

Now, it’s better. Needless to say, the right wing, opposition and the U.S.-influenced officers in Chile are dissatisfied with Allende. Even the officers and soldiers who were originally neutral are dissatisfied with Allende. The army is already considering whether to launch a military coup.

Because from the perspective of Chile's constitution at that time, the left side of the Chilean Socialist Party led by Altamirano was completely unconstitutional. Even if it was , the Communist Party of Chile, , it felt that Altamirano had done too much. But Altamirano and the leftists still feel good about themselves. He feels that he is saving Allende and saving the democratic socialist revolution in Chile, and then he does another thing that can be called a funeral for Allende.

As mentioned earlier, Allende announced a referendum in early September 1973, hoping to decide whether he holds the overall position. This approach is essentially not wrong, and the right, opposition and the military have all stopped, hoping to wait for the referendum results before making a decision.

However, Altamirano and other leftists refused to accept this result. Not only did they bombard Allende as a surrenderist and a traitor, but they also declared in a speech on September 9 that they would fight the right wing, the opposition and the army to the end, and vowed to severely crack down on and eradicate the right wing, the opposition and the army.

irreversible coup

Altamirano said ruthlessly, but does Altamirano really have the ability? That was impossible. His brother didn't have half a soldier on his hand, only a so-called workers' commando that he blew out with his mouth cannon. Of course, this is just that after Allend came to power, Altamirano was just talking nonsense. The right wing knew that he had no soldiers on his hands, and he just wanted to imitate Cuba . Because Allend himself said that Chile does not follow the same path as Cuba, all armed forces in Chile except the national army are illegal, so Allend could not support Altamirano to build any workers' commando.

If Altamirano said this in the past, everyone would probably think that this guy was brainless, but when he said this at this critical moment, everyone would be a little confused about his pulse. No one knows whether Altamirano really has a strong armed force, and I don’t know if Allend said it was a temporary measure to hold a referendum.Finally, when the right wing and the top military leaders discussed, they still felt that Allende might be planning to play tricks with them. It is impossible to ensure that the workers' commando is real. Perhaps in a few days, Allende will have to take action first!

is completely finished now. The army has come up with a coup plan that has been sealed before. The coup plan is formed by Admiral José Trepo Merino, the main participants include Air Force Commander Gustavo Li, Chilean Police Supervisor Samuel Mendoza and Army Brigadier General Sergio Areliano Stark.

And what about the protagonist of the later coup, the Army Commander Pinochet ? He had not made any statement before, but only gave an ambiguous answer. It was not until after Altamirano's speech on September 9 that Pinochet agreed to join the coup plan. Because Air Force Commander Gustavo Li had issued an ultimatum to him, either join the plan or get out of the army later, and as an egoist, Pinochet Light Speed ​​agreed to join the coup.

So far, all the masterminds of the 911 coup have gathered together, and Allende's death is irreversible. Altamirano never expected how destructive his speech was. Allende wanted to avoid a military coup through a referendum. Even if the people finally let him step down, he could avoid the chaos caused by the coup and avoid irreversible bloodshed. However, Alta Mirano is a brainless idiot. He felt comfortable after a slap, but ruined Allend's efforts to avoid a military coup. Now, nothing can be saved and Chile will usher in a bloody storm.

Conclusion

Is it ironic? The 911 coup could have been avoided. It was a meaningless coup from any perspective, and this coup would have happened unchanged. Allende's efforts at the end of his reign, including the referendum he proposed, were meant to avoid a coup, but in the end it failed because of Altamirano's self-interesting speech. After the 911 coup, the People's Unity Alliance, composed of the Chilean Socialist Party and the Chilean Communist Party, completely disappeared. More than 15,000 people were arrested, thousands more were killed, and Chile's political framework completely collapsed. The situation finally turned to the military government model that Allende least wanted to see.

As for the mouth cannon king Altamirano? Haha, this jumping clown panicked on the day of the coup. After telling Allende by phone that he was still inquiring about the news, he left Allende alone and those who trusted him alone and fled alone by plane. Later, under the protection of the East German government, he went to East Berlin, and in 1979 he settled in Paris and did not return to Chile until 1993. It is worth mentioning that he only admitted in 1990 that his speech was adding fuel to the fire and that he intensified the conflict, but what is the significance of this for the dead Allende and those innocent people?
