>The US Joint Chiefs of Staff proposed that a series of massive air raids on Cuba be prepared and executed immediately," Chertok wrote. "Kennedy found the inner strength to withstand this pressure and reject this proposal. Had such a plan been executed, World War III would have begun the next day."
>"I received the order to open an envelope that has been stored in a special safe and to act in accordance with its contents," Kirillov told Chertok confidentially. "According to the order, I must immediately prepare the duty combat missile at the engineering facility and mate the warhead located in a special depot, roll the missile out to the launch site, position it, test it, fuel it, aim it, and wait for a special launch command."
>“I didn’t expect you to be so naïve," Kirillov replied. "In the first place, for failing to execute an order I will be put before a military tribunal, and secondly, I repeat—it’s impossible to get a call through to Moscow, much less to Korolev, Ustinov, and even Khrushchev."
>Kirillov added that he was a soldier, and if the order came, he would not hesitate to obey it, even if it meant the end for everyone.
