Chapter 137: The Truth About the Airliner (2)
If the Soviets wantonly shot down a civilian airliner, it would make the world's public opinion wantonly bomb the Soviet Union indiscriminately, but if the Americans used the airliner as a cover, equipped the airliner with reconnaissance equipment, and deliberately let the airliner go wild, in order to reconnoiter the situation in the Soviet Union, then the US Government would be completely targeted!
The US government actually ignored the lives of nearly 300 people on this passenger plane, risked their lives, and used the passenger plane as a tool for reconnaissance! This is even more difficult for the population to accept!
Although the Thames was seized on the same day, however, this news was reprinted by more newspapers and broadcast on the radio, and in the West, public opinion is free! The government has no right to interfere!
Almost on the same day, the news spread all over the world, including the United States across the ocean. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When he got the news, President Carter, who had just entered the White House, knew that the situation was not good, and after consulting with the think tank, the White House press secretary solemnly emphasized that this was a complete conspiracy of the Soviets! The United States has absolutely no actions to use a passenger plane as a reconnaissance aircraft, which is a violation of basic international norms!
The United States swore that this matter had nothing to do with the United States, that this was a conspiracy of the Soviets!
The masses will be skeptical, especially the families of the victims, and they hope that the US government can give a reasonable explanation, if it is a conspiracy of the Soviet government, why is there reconnaissance equipment in those wreckage?
Admiral Stein-Fittner, now the director of the CIA, was promoted by President Carter to become the head of the intelligence system, and now, not long after taking office. He also ushered in one of the most headaches for him.
Reconnaissance with airliners, which was formulated by a group of people from his previous office. He just agreed, and his subordinates analyzed the pros and cons. Success, it was possible to detect the Soviet Union's most secret military deployment on Sakhalin, especially since there seemed to be a lot of land forces recently, and there were ballistic missile launch positions in the Soviet Far East, which had not been effectively detected before. And if it fails, being shot down by the Soviet Union will also make the Soviet Union's reputation in the international community stinky, and shooting down a civilian airliner will become a public enemy of the world.
Moreover, the United States will also have an excuse for this. A tentative attack on the Soviet Union, testing its own weapons and putting heavy pressure on the Soviet air defenses to suppress the tough-looking MiG-25s.
But now, things are developing beyond my expectations.
"Those reconnaissance equipment, when the airliner was hit, activated the self-destruct device, and will never leak the secrets of the airliner." Carter listened to his trusted deputy, Admiral Fittner. I couldn't help frowning: "What's going on?" Now the whole world knows that the airliner has made us move. ”
"The reconnaissance equipment they exhibited was not the reconnaissance equipment on our passenger plane, but on our Blackbird reconnaissance plane." Admiral Fittner said: "The Soviets are so cunning, they are throwing dirty water on us. ”
The Soviets were shameless enough. But until now, the Soviets have not spoken anything, including what came out of that exhibition was high-definition reconnaissance equipment. That's a Times reporter, literally working for the KGB! It was the guy who was the first to recognize it.
And. If this matter had been disclosed directly by the Soviets, the Western world would not have agreed with it at all. Most would have thought it was a conspiracy, but now, the journalists on their own side recognize it and have a preconceived idea that the US government is deceiving the world. Damn, can't these brain-teasing reporters see this kind of simple trick?
"Then let's just expose this, it's a conspiracy of the Soviets!" President Carter said.
"In this way, the fact that our most advanced Blackbird reconnaissance plane was shot down by the Soviets will spread all over the world, and now, the MiG-25 of the Soviets has given us a headache, and this time the Navy and Air Force jointly strangled the Soviets' fighter planes in the airspace near Sakhalin Island, and they did not pose a substantial threat to the MiG-25, and our Blackbird reconnaissance plane is the only reconnaissance plane with the same speed of 30,000 meters as the MiG-25, which is our sharp weapon and will never be shot down." Admiral Fittner said.
The Blackbird is a god-like piece of equipment in the U.S. Army, which can have mechanical failures, but it must not be shot down by the other side!
In fact, the equipment on the Blackbird also has a self-destruct device, but now it seems that the self-destruct device must not work. There was a number on that device, and the Thames reporters were quite clear, and by looking at the number, they could tell that it was on the wrecked Blackbird.
"So what do we do?" President Carter asked.
"Anyway, we definitely didn't do that." Admiral Fettner said: "These are all conspiracy of the Soviets, and the mood of the people is understandable now, and after a while, this matter will gradually subside, and at the same time, we can also release the news of our air battle, we have won the victory over the Red Empire, and we have avenged the passengers of the downed airliner." ”
The battle over Sakhalin Island is top secret, and during the Cold War, this kind of confrontation exists at any time, but it is all carried out in private, and it is rarely known to the outside world, after all, they all have face, and whichever side is slapped in the face, they will have to retaliate, so that the scale of the war will expand, and maybe it will turn into a world war.
But now, I can't care so much about it, and this kind of thing that shows off one's own ambition and destroys the prestige of others is going to be released, and public opinion will immediately turn around, and change from the inside story of the downing of the passenger plane this time, to the fact that the United States has absolute superiority over the Soviet Union, and in the event of a third world war, the United States will sweep through the Soviet Union and bring freedom and democracy to the people enslaved by the Red Empire.
Carter lowered his head and pondered, this plan is obviously a way to get out of the current situation, but is the price too great?
At this moment, the door to the round table room was pushed open, and the White House chief of staff hurriedly walked in and said to Carter: "President Carter, the Soviet government, has released a recording!" ”
Recording! Unscrew the radio and you can hear the sound inside.
"Captain, I saw two warplanes, and the Soviets had already flown behind us."
"We are civil airliners, and the Soviets did not dare to attack us."
"Captain, I seem to have heard a tom sound outside just now, are those two Soviet fighters firing shells at us?"
"Stupid, didn't you also spend time in the Air Force? The shells used by night fighters at night are all high-explosive shells combined with tracer bullets, which are used to indicate the trajectory. ”
…………
There was deathly silence in the round table.
Black box! The Soviets found the black box of the airliner! In just a few words, it was revealed that the captain and the main pilot did know that the route was wrong and knew that they had entered the airspace of the Soviet Union! (To be continued.) )
