Chapter 951: The Rise and Fall of the Imperial Kingdom Fights Here
But right away, Reagan forced himself to calm down. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Ignoring Mitterrand's actions, France has always come out from time to time to contradict the United States, which has been a problem for the United States for many years, Reagan calmed his anger, although it was not easy, still hoped that communication would work.
It didn't take long for Defense Secretary Weinberg to come to the White House and also knew that Operation Gold Canyon seemed to be in trouble.
"If France and Spain do not open their airspace, it will give our attack group a long distance, which is a big trouble." After learning of France's attempt to stop the United States, Defense Secretary Weinberg also had to point out the downside, which would go around in a big circle and increase unnecessary risks.
The detour refers to part of the U.S. air power, because during Operation Golden Canyon, the U.S. military came up with a plan that the U.S. F-111F fighter-bomber group at the United Kingdom's Laconheath Air Force Base had to take off from the British mainland. If you take a detour on your way back, it will increase unnecessary risks.
"With our air superiority, will it be possible to return home safely when France and Spain do not open their airspace?" Reagan had to prepare for the worst, and that was to have the Air Force take a detour through the Strait of Gibraltar to enter the war. Seeing Secretary of Defense Weinberg's affirmative reply, Reagan said fiercely, "When we in the United States want to do it, we must do it." Let's take a detour, and of course we still won't give up hope that France and Spain will change their minds. ”
Regardless of whether France and Spain can take into account the overall situation, military action is inevitable, and Reagan and Serov have the same considerations, should a country as big as the United States have to count on the favor of other countries to live? No! Carter was too concerned about the feelings of his allies, so he controlled it in a proper manner during his tenure, resulting in a crisis that has not been resolved.
Reagan abolished the Federal Republic of Germany and Japan through the Plaza Accord, never mentioned multipolarity again, and re-mentioned the United States and the Soviet Union leading the world. The implementation of the Star Wars program no longer mentions that there is no winner in a nuclear war, but like the big spy leader, he firmly believes that even if it is a nuclear war, the United States can achieve the final victory.
Of course, there are some side effects, and some US allies are not adapted to the resumption of the offensive of the United States, which has caused relatively big trouble to the United States, such as France. The difference between the United States and the Soviet Union is that the Soviet bloc generally does not have countries that can compete with the Soviet Union in terms of national strength, but only individual revolutionary leaders can use their prestige to cause problems for the Soviet Union. The most dangerous time for the Soviet Union has passed, because the leaders of the revolution are dead.
The internal threat of the US camp is not caused by some powerful leaders, but is really faced with many old imperialists, such as the French, who have always been unwilling to be lonely. The U.S. policy toward any Soviet Union was often obstructed by France, and since Yugoslavia was dealt with by the Soviet Union, this situation, which had always been a hindrance, became a separate treatment for the United States.
In this case, Vernon? Walls' visit to France was, in Reagan's view, only symbolic.
"One day when the Soviet Union is gone, do I think the French will be able to jump like they do today?" Reagan looked out the window at the Stars and Stripes, and his heart was calm, it was inevitable, and the next one was France.
In the Elysee Palace in Paris, France, which is as important as the White House in the United States, Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom, and the Kremlin in the Soviet Union, French President François Mitterrand welcomed the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Vernon? Walls. Any etiquette that should be in place Mitterrand is ready, and as for getting France to open its airspace, it is absolutely impossible.
Gaddafi was an important customer of the Soviet Union, and he was also an important customer of France, Libya was anti-American but friendly to France and the Soviet Union, Mitterrand would never let the United States do it if he had the ability, and now since he cannot interfere, it is impossible to make France.
Vernon? Wall's mediation attempt to come to France failed, but he soon left for Spain. At the same time, the Kremlin of the Soviet Union, Serov is also stepping up to make up for it, comparing the history in his memory with the current situation to see what else can be helped.
Historically, Libya was no different from a pacifist state in general, and people had no loyalty to the state at all. The republic's leadership, led by Muammar Gaddafi, initially promoted Arab nationalism, and made several unsuccessful attempts to form alliances with neighboring countries such as Tunisia and Egypt. Gaddafi then turned from the Middle East to Africa, echoing the pan-Africanism proposed by Tanzania and Kenya in the hope of promoting the integration of African countries, but this plan also ended in failure with the failure of the wars in Uganda and Chad.
In the midst of a series of failures, Gaddafi resigned himself to his fate, and finally after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Western world was invincible, and Gaddafi was not trying to establish any groundbreaking rule, starting the rule of the oldest family until it was overthrown.
I have to say that Ka Dazuo also had ideals at the beginning, and he really wanted to toss out a career.
"I forgot about this country!" Serov knows what power he has neglected, Egypt! Egypt has not fallen to its knees and is still the birthplace of Arab nationalism, and it has been able to hold back the pan-pacifism advocated by the Saudis. This is where Egypt is the country that wants to integrate the Arab world.
"Give me the hotline for Egypt!" Serov picked up the phone on the table and said, then fell into a short wait. There is no need for an interpreter, Mubarak studied in the Soviet Union, and the two can speak in Russian.
Hoping that Reagan would back down in the face of Arab solidarity is wishful thinking. Reagan was ready to resist pressure from the Soviet Union and France, and a group of third-world protests were not painful for the United States. Serov's move can only allow the Soviet Union to reap the benefits, and these countries will be more anti-American, and this is the benefit.
By the end of the U.S. military operation, demonstrations were held in Cairo in Egypt, Damascus in Syria, Basra and Baghra in Iraq, and major Arab cities to oppose the U.S. threat of war against Libya. Whether in suits or Arab robes, people took to the streets in support of Libya. The wave of Arab nationalism has spread across the Arab countries except the Gulf states, and people have taken to the streets to express their support for their Libyan brothers.
"Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi called on the whole of Libya to be ready to fight to the death with the United States." Foreign Minister Gromyko seems to have spoken of the recent situation in the Arab world.
"He doesn't have the illusion that he can fight back, the United States has lacked confidence because of the Vietnam War for more than ten years, why does everyone think that Vietnam can be replicated now?" Serov was afraid that Kadazo's confidence would swell for a while, and he would be killed directly. A desert country replicates what the Vietnam War, do you have a place to fight guerrillas? Even if there is, what is the population of Libya? 100,000 U.S. troops can kill you all.
"Let the military advisory group in Egypt be more prepared and release the news that it is ready to form an Arab coalition army. If Reagan can still bear it, then no one can stop it. Serov's order was completely obedient to the fate of God, and even if the Arab coalition was really formed, it would not be able to reach the American aircraft carriers. He just hoped that Reagan would be a little scruple and retreat.
When the Arab countries were preparing to form a coalition to deal with the news of the US military action against Libya, the entire Arab world was in jubilation, and the Arab countries praised their leaders and expressed their determination to share the same hatred and hatred, and many American flags were burned, and people cheered in front of the official residences of the leaders in Damascus, Cairo, and Baghdad to express their support for the country.
"Shouldn't you thank me? Without Lao Tzu's aid of 1.2 billion rubles a year, the Egyptian army is so obedient? "The big spy leader is really enough, he can find him for any bad thing, and if something that can turn his reputation around appears, no one can think of him.
"Action, no one can stop us from acting." Reagan resolutely ordered the US military that no matter what the movements of the Soviet Mediterranean Fleet were, France's refusal to open its airspace, and the Arab countries' desire to form a coalition army, they could not intimidate him. If the US Navy has to have scruples before military action, it means that the United States has lost all its advantages, and the Navy is the strongest branch of the US military.
One combat order after another was issued, canceling the original plan of the Sixth Fleet's "Coral Sea" aircraft carrier formation to change guards, and ordering it to remain on standby in the Mediterranean. The next day, the United States ordered two aircraft carrier squadrons of the Sixth Fleet to take advantage of the darkness of the night and covertly sail to the waters of the central Mediterranean Sea to prepare to take part in the attack. Subsequently, the United States urgently dispatched 10 additional Kc-10 tanker planes from the mainland to the British air base to stand by.
By all indications, Reagan was not frightened by the so-called Arab coalition, and in fact it was, did the Arabs swim into the sea and sink the aircraft carrier? Even the approaching Soviet Mediterranean Fleet took an attitude of indifference. Reagan said categorically to the Sixth Fleet, "The Soviet Red Navy will never attack the United States, which represents a world war." ”
The U.S. Sixth Fleet, ignoring the Soviet Mediterranean Fleet, went into an offensive posture, which was fed back to the Soviet Ministry of Defense by Soviet spy satellites and subsequently sent to the Kremlin. Serov pursed his lips and sighed helplessly, "It's so bold, Reagan won." But what's the point? ”
It's just a game of adults beating children, but the Soviet Union and France entered or made peace with the mud, so that the American military risked ignoring the approach of the Soviet Red Navy, and it was not the rise and fall of the imperial state in this war, as for it?
At seven o'clock in the evening, the aircraft carriers Coral Island and USS America received combat orders, and one after another F-111F fighter-bombers accelerated from the runway at Lakenheath Air Force Base, rose from the ground with a huge sound, and disappeared into the already dark sky.
