Chapter 872: The City Will Play

Of course, the worst did not happen, and after the "scalpel over the Barents Sea" incident, I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at the United States and President Reagan: the United States is now the undisputed and recognized leader of the entire Western world, and the whole of Europe obeys the instructions of the United States, but it is not like twenty or thirty years later, when the European Union is no longer willing to obey the command of the United States.

In this case, Reagan spoke out on behalf of the United States......

This was not a particularly formal public speech, but an interview with FOX News, and when asked by a reporter from FOX News what he thought of the "scalpel over the Barents Sea" incident, Li Gen said amazingly: "In fact, I am more relieved than shocked by the Barents Sea incident. ”

"Relieved?!"

The FOX News host's eyes widened in surprise, thinking he had misheard.

Not only the host of FOX News, but also the American and European viewers in front of the TV set widened their eyes, wondering if they were having auditory hallucinations.

"I know this sounds a little incomprehensible, but there is a detail that I don't know if you have noticed?" Facing the host's surprised expression, Li Gen said: "The qualification has always been that the Soviet mysterious plane has never turned on the fire control radar to irradiate the Norwegian Air Force 602 aircraft, and as far as I know, since the fall of the Iron Curtain to the past few years, when the Soviet fighters encountered similar situations, they liked to turn on the fire control radar of the fighter to irradiate the opponent's aircraft, so as to intimidate the other party......"

Speaking of this, Li Gen faced the camera and explained to the melon-eating crowd in front of the TV: "I know that many people in front of the TV are not very clear about the basic process of the fighter launching a missile to hit the enemy, here I will explain to you that if a fighter wants to launch a missile to shoot down the opponent, he must first turn on the fire control radar on the fighter, and let the radar search and lock on the opponent before he can launch the missile."

In other words, if the opponent turns on the fire control radar, he is very likely to launch missiles and hit the opponent, and with the maneuverability of the Norwegian 602 aircraft, it is almost impossible to escape;

If the other side does not turn on the fire control radar...... For example, the Soviet pilot in the 'scalpel over the Barents Sea' incident did it, the nature of the incident was not so serious. ”

The melon-eating crowd in front of the TV was confused: Is there any difference between the two?

The host even said directly: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I don't understand the difference between the two. ”

"I'll give you an analogy," President Reagan thought for a moment, and said to the presenter and the audience in front of the television: "Turning on the fire control radar is like someone holding a gun and pointing it at you, and it could kill you at any time, and the Soviet Mystery Pilot No. 36 is like beating you with his fists...... Although it hurts to be beaten, at least it's not fatal, do you understand when I say that?"

"Understood," the host nodded again and again: "I understand as soon as you say this, although the practice of the Soviet mysterious pilot is still very bad, it is still relatively not so bad compared to the previous practice of turning on the fire control radar." ”

Not only did the host understand, but the people eating melons in front of the TV also understood: if this mysterious Soviet fighter turned on the fire control radar, And locked the Norwegian No. 602 reconnaissance plane with radar, once he launched the missile, the Norwegian No. 602 reconnaissance plane and the entire crew members of the plane had only one way to destroy the plane, but now, although the practice of the Soviet mysterious plane numbered 36 caused very serious damage to the No. 602 plane, subjectively, the mysterious Soviet plane did not intend to take the lives of the 8 crew members of the Norwegian No. 602 reconnaissance plane.

Of course, this is not to say that the practice of the pilots of the Soviet mystery plane No. 36 is commendable, but it is much more "civilized" than the previous practice of the Soviets, and the entire crew of the Norwegian reconnaissance plane No. 602 was also frightened in this incident.

"The approach of the Soviet pilots is certainly not commendable, but through this incident, I am glad to see a little ......"

Speaking of this, President Li Gen suddenly looked at the camera and said: "I am glad to see that since Mr. Gorbachev became the general secretary of the Soviet Union and became the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union has become more peace-loving than before, which is a great thing for the whole world."

Here, I would like to think that Mr. Gorbachev, the supreme leader of the Soviet Government, has solemnly extended an invitation to visit the United States at an appropriate time and to discuss with the United States issues related to world peace, such as the joint reduction of nuclear weapons.

If Mr. Gorbachev can respond positively to this, I will be happy to consider it the proudest thing I have since becoming President of the United States, and I have contributed to world peace. ”

........................

As soon as President Reagan said that "the Soviet pilots actually exercised a considerable degree of restraint in the scalpel incident over the Barents Sea," the entire United States and its European allies were in an uproar!

The media all felt that President Regen's remarks were simply bizarre: If the crew of the Norwegian No. 602 reconnaissance plane had not been fated and lucky, perhaps they would have fed the fish in the Barents Sea, and you even said that the damned Soviet barbarians had exercised restraint?

For example, Le Monde, the newspaper with the largest circulation in France, openly ridiculed President Regen's remarks......

"We can't understand Mr. Reagan's brain circuit, just as we can't understand why Mr. Reagan made such an unwise choice in the Iranian hostage incident in the first place, ordering the top leader of the Soviet Union to go to the United States and discuss the reduction of nuclear arsenals together...... It's the funniest joke I've heard this year, and in my opinion, Mr. Li Gen's approach is no different from that of a kindergarten child......"

Not only the French newspaper Le Monde, but also the mainstream media in Europe also have this view, and they all think that Li Gen's ideas and practices are simply naΓ―ve to the extreme, and that the barbaric and rude Siberian barbarians will know what world peace is?

Are you kidding!

For a time, President Reagan became the laughing stock of the whole world, and the American media lamented: "What did we choose to be our president? But fortunately, we can correct this mistake immediately, this is Mr. Regen's second presidential term, and according to the relevant US laws, he is no longer eligible to run for president again......

At a time when the media throughout Europe and the United States were in a frenzy of ridicule about Regen, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev, responded to Regen's invitation officially, and in the most formal, official public speech......

"Yes, I saw the invitation extended to me by His Excellency President Regen," Gorbachev looked at the TV camera, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a serious face: "Your Excellency Reagan is an outstanding statesman with great foresight and foresight that I greatly admire, and I am very happy to see that the United States is becoming more and more prosperous and powerful under the leadership of His Excellency Regen, and I am very glad that His Excellency President Reagan of the United States can see the efforts made by the Soviet Union for world peace, and the Soviet government will continue to contribute to the peace and development of the world in the future;

At the same time, I am very happy and glad that His Excellency Reagan has extended an invitation to me to visit the United States at an appropriate time and discuss with Mr. Reagan a series of major issues related to world peace, such as the reduction of nuclear weapons......"

When is the appropriate time, Gorbachev didn't say, of course this is normal, as long as both Gorbachev and Li Gen have this will, the specific work will be handed over to the comrades below to communicate.

And Gorbachev's response made the entire European and American media slapped in the face!

No one expected that Gorbachev not only did not ridicule Li Gen's previous words, but gave a clear signal that he was "willing to negotiate with the United States on reducing the number of nuclear weapons arsenals", and the media in the United States and the whole of Europe were all stupid for a while, and did not know what to say.

On the contrary, those treacherous and cunning dignitaries in various countries, seeing the appearance of Li Gen and Gorbachev singing and harmonizing, think of the delicate timing of the "scalpel over the Barents Sea" incident: Gorbachev has been in power for two years, and it is said that there is still no voice within the reunification of the Soviet Union, and President Li Gen has been deeply involved in the "Iran-Contra" incident since the end of last year......

A sudden feeling of realization arose: it! Could it be that you two guys have already started to hook up and hook up secretly?

Also, things have developed to such an extent that those top international politicians will not be qualified to stay in their current positions if they do not see that the "scalpel over the Barents Sea" incident is very likely to be an act secretly planned by the United States and the Soviet Union to create an opportunity for dialogue between the two sides.

In the face of this situation, everyone can only sigh: Huh...... You city people really know how to play......

If nothing else, it should not be long before the U.S. government and the Soviet government will communicate and coordinate on a series of issues, such as the meeting between the two heads of state and Gorbachev's visit to the United States, right?

A week later, the U.S. and Soviet governments officially announced the approximate time of the meeting between Reagan and Gorbachev at about the same time: President Reagan and President Gorbachev would formally meet in Washington between mid-November and mid-December.

This is also the first official meeting between the two after officially becoming the country's top leaders.
