"Everyone, something happened to our aircraft carrier dúlì." Defense Secretary Weinberg said, "Iraq actually dispatched fighter planes to provoke our planes. This is a declaration of war against us!"
Saddam Hussein, that lunatic... Many people have this idea.Even Weinberg, who is usually very calm, was angry this time.
How could Weinberg not be angry, a pilot with complex night weather takeoffs and landings, wasted just like that, after boarding the ship and getting off the plane, that unlucky pilot, his clothes were all soaked, and it is estimated that he will spend the rest of his career Here, the most is to play with the propeller plane.
Even Saudi Arabia endured it, and Kuwait also endured it. Iraq was so proactive, using their most advanced MiG-25 interceptors, to take the initiative to confront their fighters in the Persian Gulf!
Although American fighter jets often had conflicts with the Soviet Union, which was inevitable in the Cold War, they couldn't tolerate it. Even a small country in the Middle East didn't take them seriously!
But now, the American people are inconvenient to live without oil, which can easily become an excuse for declaring war.
This matter can be big or small, and how to deal with it depends on them.
"Everyone, please take a look at a set of materials." CIA Director Casey said, and began to show slides.
"This is a photo taken by our spy satellite." Casey said, pointing to the plane on the ground: "Here is the base of the MiG-25 in Iraq, H-3 Air Force Base (H-3 is Al-Wa Lead Air Force Base). We have been wondering why the Iraqis maintain their advanced MiG-25s so well."
Casey zoomed in on the picture uncertainly, and finally, saw those figures from top to bottom, "We have every reason to believe that the MiG-25 in Iraq was maintained by many Soviet personnel. And even, the initial At that time, the Iraqi MiG-25 was flown by Soviet instructors."
Soviets!These words shocked everyone.
Recently, because of the turmoil of OPEC members and the anger over the rise in oil prices, many Americans have been filled with complaints against these oil-producing countries, but they have forgotten that the oil crisis is caused by their hatred of Israel. support!
As for the following, several emergency resolutions by the United Nations allowed him to cease fire unconditionally and still besiege the country of Beirut!The United States, which advocates freedom and mínzhǔ, is supporting their allies, trampling on the people of Lebanon, and using force to open up a bloody road for their own survival.
President Reagan has not spoken all the time, looking at his think tank, what kind of statement will he give him.
"Everyone," National Security Affairs Assistant Poindexter said, "Our biggest threat is the Soviet Union. Therefore, I think we should reconsider our policy towards Israel. We..." Although last time He agreed with military action, but when he mentioned the Soviet Union this time, his vision suddenly became higher and he saw the crux of the problem.
Before he finished speaking, Weinberg said: "You mean, let our military bow down to Iraq? How is this possible! Our U.S. military is not afraid of any country, not even the Soviet Union. Middle East countries!"
"Weinberg, you let him finish," Reagan said.
"Saddam Hussein in Iraq is a man with a complicated personality. We can't estimate his inner thoughts at all. However, we have also seen that the Soviet Union is also wooing him. If we continue like this, then we can only Let him completely fall to the Soviet Union, everyone, in this case, it is very inappropriate for our strategy, it is just a few Arab countries, just make a fuss, if the Soviet Union intervenes, it will be difficult for us .”
The Soviet Union is always a powerful threat!The opponent of the United States is the Soviet Union!Not Iraq!
"In fact, in the past two years, our relationship with Iraq has improved a lot, especially after the Iraqi boy Qusay was born, he signed a large arms sales order with us. Through the order, we can tie him to our After all, he is still beating Khomeini’s ass for us!” Secretary of State George concluded: “Considering our own interests, this is just an economic struggle, and we don’t need to dispatch more In terms of military affairs, as long as we suspend arms sales to Israel, this crisis will soon pass."
Last time, George didn't advocate sending troops very much. For those Islamic people, sometimes this tactic doesn't work.
In fact, blindly supporting Israel like this will lead to major economic problems, which is not in the interests of the United States. If it insists on going its own way, it will eventually lead to throwing Iraq, which they value very much, into the arms of the Soviet Union, which is even more harmful than the gain.
"Actually, we can win over the young man Qusay." Vice President George said: "I have studied this guy, and after he came to power, I didn't have a big cold for the Soviet Union. France’s weapons, and China’s, but for the Soviet Union in the traditional sense, he did not buy anything. I guess, as long as we support him, this young man will most likely turn Iraq into us. I have seen that Saddam, that guy never plays cards according to common sense. It is very dangerous to associate with such a person, but this Qusay is very rational. I think we should get closer to him, even in the Help him up when necessary."
"However," Casey said, "Qusay is obviously more intelligent than Saddam Hussein. If we support such a guy, will he pose a threat to us? Our CIA intelligence agency in southern Iraq has been killed by him. The attack was so overwhelming that it was impossible to gain a foothold, and a strong Iraq is not in our interest. In my opinion, Uday, the boss who has been deposed, is a good candidate for a puppet."
"Uday has lost power. Saddam will not give power to Uday. This idea is unrealistic."
Sometimes, history is always very ironic. After Saddam showed his strength and confronted the United States head-on, the United States changed its attitude in order not to force Iraq to the Soviet Union.As a great leader of an Eastern country said, all imperialism is a paper tiger!
At this time, Zhang Feng had already rushed back to Baghdad from Riyadh. Knowing that his father had done such a trick, Zhang Feng's head was about to grow big.
How should I put it, Zhang Feng himself feels that now the oil-producing countries are united to cut oil production against Western countries that support Israel. This can be said to be a non-violent non-cooperation movement, and it is economic.
However, for an old capitalist country like the United States, it is very in line with their personality to engage in some military threats after being stimulated this time. What Iraq needs to do is to be ready like Saudi Arabia. If your military plane really violates the airspace, then shoot him down unceremoniously!
However, they haven't entered the airspace of their own country yet, and as a result, their fighter planes ran out backwards and drove them out.My own father is really fierce when he does things.
What kind of reaction will the Americans draw from this counterattack?Zhang Feng knew that he had to explain his thoughts to his father, and he should also report to his father about the oil embargo.
At this time, the news of the attack on the Rattlesnake Special Forces also spread back to the Southern Military Region, and then to Zhang Feng.
what a troubled time
Chapter 373 Revenge
When the cloud bomb exploded above the Israeli team, all the remaining Kingfisher special forces that were still resisting were killed, some because of the direct explosion, and some because of the lack of oxygen caused by the explosion Suffocated to death, no one survived.
But in this battle, the Rattlesnake Special Forces also suffered great losses, sacrificing five or six members of the Special Forces, and, what's more, the purpose of their visit this time was to protect the safety of those special equipment, but now, the equipment But it was killed by the plane in the sky of the Israelites.
From this point of view, although all the members of the Kingfisher Special Forces sacrificed, they completed their mission.
Moreover, in the past few days, although the radar of Syria's Sam-6 air defense missile has changed to a new frequency, this frequency has been intercepted by a US military electronic warfare plane flying from Turkey. The seeker of the shè missile is being readjusted for this frequency, and the new bombing operation will start again.
Sometimes, in order to win the battle, someone needs to sacrifice.
At this time, the PLO guerrillas more than ten miles away and the Syrian army at the foot of the mountain also rushed to support.
Only, the battle is over.
Looking at the ruins, I thought that the team members who were chatting and laughing together more than ten minutes ago had already died in the battle, especially those two who protected the technicians with their bodies. They are brave, and they are worthy of special forces. Proud of them!There were a few pieces of debris in their bodies, and the technicians under them were unscathed.
As for a technician who rolled down the hillside, apart from twisting his foot and scratching a few sections of his body, he was fine.
Silence, deathly silence, everyone clenched their fists.
At the foot of the mountain at this time, in the Beirut area, the fighting is still going on fiercely.
Suddenly, Hades held the automatic rifle in his hand and said, "Come on, come down the mountain with me to beat up these bastards." He has been holding back on the mountain for the past few days. It didn't go well.
The PLO guerrillas next to them were already looking at them enviously. You know, what they wiped out was the Israeli special forces, and they wiped out all of them, not a single one escaped!Although they also paid the price of casualties for a few people, if the PLO guerrillas themselves, they would definitely pay two or three times more. The special forces of color can appear in the deadliest places every time, and they will never be killed. Their military campaign was completely thwarted.
However, the members of the Rattlesnake Special Forces were all extremely indignant, they had never suffered such a serious loss!
Hades was so angry that he couldn't control his emotions anymore.
He was holding a weapon, and several members of the Rattlesnake Special Forces were about to rush down after him.
"Stop!" Marwan said: "His Excellency Qusay gave us an order to protect these equipment and personnel. He did not let us directly intervene in the battle in Beirut."
"Marwan, don't you want to avenge our brother?" Hades said.
"Revenge is one thing, obeying orders is another." Marwan said, "We are soldiers, so we must obey orders, otherwise, you are disobeying orders!"
"I disobey?" Hades turned around and said with red eyes: "Okay, I disobey, you kill me!"
With that said, Hades stuck out his head and gave it to Marwan.
Marwan shouted: "Hades, remember, you are a soldier of the Rattlesnake Special Forces, you must obey orders!"
"All I know is that I want to avenge my brother!" Hades gave Marwan a last look, and followed him down with a few people.
"You wait! Your Excellency Qusay will use military law to deal with you!" Marwan said, looking at Hades' back.
In fact, in his heart, he also wants to rush down the mountain to fight with Hades, but he knows that he can't do it.
Marwan knew that strict organizational discipline was essential for an army to win, so his reason still prevailed over emotion, and he still had his task: to escort these technicians back to Iraq!
