"This time, in order to rescue the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the Soviet Union invested a total of nearly 20,000 people before and after the rescue, these personnel, all more or less infected with the release of shèxing disease, some serious, have died within a few weeks, in order to prevent the impact on personnel, they have relocated a total of one million residents, plus because the No. 4 unit can no longer provide electricity, this accident, the direct economic loss to the Soviet Union, is about eight billion rubles, and the indirect loss, may be more than ten times this number. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info{{}}" President Reagan listened to CIA Director William's debriefing, and there was a little joy in his eyes.
Although just an hour ago, when Reagan was attending a meeting, he was still talking about the Chernobyl nuclear power plant as a disaster for mankind and that in the face of the disaster, everyone should join hands to tide over this difficulty, in fact, in the eyes of these people, they still think of a good opportunity from it.
What a good rhetoric that can make the United States erect a good image in front of the world, but unfortunately, it was robbed by that guy Qusay, is that guy Cusay really standing at the height of all mankind? Then I can only say that Qusay is too stupid, he is too young, and he doesn't know what politics is!
Politics has always been the dirtiest. {{}}
The president of the United States, first of all, should consider the problem from the perspective of the United States.
Now, while the Soviet Union is too busy to take care of itself, the United States can finally free up its hands to do what it wants!
"Although there are donations from all over the world, but. In the end, it was less than 100 million dollars, which was a drop in the bucket for the huge losses of the Soviet Union, and moreover, because of the impact of the release. Western European countries have decided to refuse to import all kinds of exposed agricultural products from Eastern Europe for the next 10 years or so. For example, vegetables are also banned from Eastern Europe, and products such as beef nǎi are also banned to prevent them from entering the human food chain. Another person said.
"In this case. The Soviet Union had absolutely no power to meddle in what was happening internationally. Weinberg said with a smile: "Our navy and air force are ready, this time, we must teach the person who lives in the tent a lesson!" ”
This plan was planned by Weinberg, and he personally proposed to the president that it was time to deal with the person who gave them a great headache for Americans!
Gaddafi! This unruly fellow thinks he is the god of Libya. Originally, the relationship between the United States and Libya was very harmonious, and the United States also rented Wheeles Air Force Base in Libya, but. After Gaddafi overthrew the Libyan regime, Libya completely fell to the Soviet Union, which provided Libya with a total of about $6 billion worth of arms, including 2,000 tanks, a large number of MiG-23, MiG-25 fighter jets, submarines, missiles, and the Soviet Union also sent a huge military advisory group of up to 1,000 people to Libya.
Moreover, what makes the United States even more intolerable. Libya transferred the Wheelers Air Force Base, which was originally used by the United States, to the Soviet Army, and also abrogated a number of agreements signed with the United States and Britain. In the context of the Cold War, the United States could not directly go to the Soviet Union for trouble, and it was not so polite to Libya, so on August 19, 1981, two Libyan planes that did not know whether they were alive or dead attacked US Navy planes that were exercising in the waters of the Gulf of Sidra with missiles, and were shot down by all US planes.
And now, what makes the United States even more dissatisfied is that Libya has begun to get closer to Iraq, and that confused thinking Gaddafi, who doesn't know what kind of wind he had, ran to Iraq and talked to Qusay and me, which is even more intolerable in the eyes of the United States. {{}}
Now, Iraq has developed too fast and is not in the interests of the United States, but for Iraq, the United States cannot use force, and every time Iraq is always on the side of justice, the United States cannot find an excuse at all.
Then, another option, to attack a country they support, let them know that the United States' armed forces, which are still very strong, can play a role in separating the mountains and shaking the tiger.
And the reason why Weinberg can't say is even more "well-intentioned". Because the current economic situation of the United States is very bad, a large number of national defense projects have been cut, and in this case, the United States is very dissatisfied, they have propped up the giant umbrella of the United States, so that the United States can run rampant in this world, in this case, they should behave, let the Americans know that they have spent countless taxpayers' money to maintain a strong army, not useless, at a critical time, or rely on the army!
Therefore, under various considerations, the US side has formulated a plan to launch an operation against Libya, which has always been hated by them, to prove that the US team is a first-class army in the world, and any force that dares to resist the United States will be ruthlessly crushed. {{}}
That Libya knife!
"I believe that as long as we strike Libya, the Soviet Union will definitely remain silent, they themselves will not be able to take care of it, let alone support Libya, and Iraq, at most, is protesting, or secretly supporting Gaddafi, but even if Iraq itself sends troops to fight, we can achieve a complete victory, and besides, Libya is not worth Iraq risking the enemy of the entire Western world to brazenly confront us." The Secretary of State analyzed.
Reagan glanced at Bush, Bush's eyes were also satisfied, this plan, they have discussed many times, in March, Weinberg had already proposed, but at that time, limited by the possible attitude of the Soviet Union, although Gorbachev was a moderate, but after all, the Soviet Union was still huge, and now, the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant has wasted a lot of financial, manpower and material resources on the Soviet Union, so the benefits of holding such an operation will far outweigh the risks encountered. {{}}
"Okay, I agree, let's do this operation, operation codename, Prairie Tempest." Reagan finally nodded in agreement.
In the early morning, the sun shines on the island of Qeshm, and a silver runway is particularly dazzling.
"Attention, we are about to arrive at the new base ahead." Fibil said.
The sky was clear, it was a good weather for the flight, and at the beginning of the sun, two squadrons of Fibil's Mirage F1 took off from Basrah Air Base and transferred to El Qeshm Naval Base, where the base of Iraq's naval aviation had been built.
The speed of the Iraqi sappers was very fast, and immediately after the occupation of the island of Qeshm, they began to carry out intensive construction, and after several months of construction, the naval aviation base was ready for use.
At such a time, the arrival of the first batch of fighters is of great commemorative significance, which means that the Iraqi Navy finally has its own fixed-wing fighters!
Moreover, the base of Qeshm allows Iraq's wings to be fuller, at the beginning, in Basra, when they flew more than 400 kilometers to the outside of the Persian Gulf, their time to stay in the air was running out, and they could not meddle in any affairs in the Arabian Sea, and the base here allowed them to fly directly out of the Persian Gulf, out of the Gulf of Oman, in the Arabian Sea, ziyou!
Since the F-20 and Mirage 4000 fighters were gradually equipped with the Iraqi army, the Mirage F1 fighter has no longer undertaken the task of seizing air supremacy, but is mainly used to mount J guided munitions to carry out ground-to-sea strikes, and its main weapons are Iraq's own anti-ship missiles and land-attack cruise missile series developed on the basis of the YJ-81.
The main mission of naval aviation is to strike at the opponent's warships, so the use of these anti-ship missiles by the Mirage F1 to carry out sea strikes is also their strength.
In front of the eight Mirage F1s, there were also two planes flying with mushroom plates on their heads, and their flight this time, another mission, was to protect the two planes and reach the base safely.
Those two planes were the E-2 pre-jing planes that Iraq imported from the United States.
At present, in Iraq, there are already four large-scale hunting series pre-jing aircraft, these pre-jing aircraft, which have been repeatedly used by Iraq to carry out air pre-jing operations in key areas, and have achieved good results, and Iraq's next pre-jing aircraft has also been in the pre-research process, that is, the phased array pre-jing radar technology in cooperation with Sweden.
In addition, last time Iraq imported six E-2 pre-jing planes from the United States, all of which were presided over by Taha, and when Qusay returned, the deal had been reached, and Qusay, in his excitement, discovered that these planes were actually fooled by the Americans to Iraq, which was a signal that the US Navy had been eliminated.
The trained Iraqi personnel, using this kind of pre-machine, found that it was completely inferior to the fan pre-machine equipped by their own side, and it was not bad on the sea surface, and it could have a detection radius of 300 kilometers, but on land, due to the influence of ground clutter, the effect was very poor.
Qusay was very angry, and after negotiations with the United States, the United States was finally willing to upgrade these old pre-jing planes and replace them with AN/APS-120 radars.
At the same time as ordering these pre-jing machines, the Iraqi side purchased a large number of spare parts, which made the manufacturers of such pre-jing machines very excited, and they made a lot of money on spare parts alone.
This time, Iraq is definitely trading at a loss.
However, no one can guess what Cusay thinks.
These two pre-jing planes, along with the Mirage F1 fighters, are attached to the naval aviation unit and will be stationed at the Qeshm base.
Flying over the Persian Gulf, in the distance, they saw the island that looked like an unsinkable aircraft carrier, which was their new home.
