Chapter 334: Irangate?
Alamut al-Assasin walked the streets of Iraq, and this time, he personally went out for the benefit of the organization, but even more so for his own interests.
It's almost half a year, even if it's very difficult, it doesn't take so long, right? Alamut was very dissatisfied, as the number two person in the organization, he held the power of the entire organization for too long while the number one person was not there, and finally came up with a new idea.
Anyway, now the two tasks are the same, assassinating the same person, it is equivalent to taking one more task, you only need to do it once, he will use his success to determine his new status in the organization, there is only one person, then stand aside! People who are not capable, the organization is not needed.
What's more, the number one person in the organization is a woman! If it weren't for the recommendation of the elders in the organization, how could she be in a high position? This time, we must reshuffle the organization! Whoever does not support himself, a cold light flashed in Alamut's eyes, and absolutely no one remained!
………… The media in the Western world have been paying close attention to the progress of the hijacking, and the next day, all major newspapers published Arafat's portrait: Turning the tide, PLO Chairman Arafat personally negotiated with the hijackers!
When it comes to Arafat, everyone is no stranger, although the stable supply of oil has been restored, but the price is much higher than before, all because of the Middle East, because of Israel's aggression against Lebanon.
Arafat's armed forces, though unequipped, withstood the Israeli army's onslaught, and the rest of the Arab world united to oppose the Western world's support for Israel, leading to the oil crisis.
Although in this war, the West is beautifying Israel, saying that it has no choice but to attack, and Arafat's PLO has frequently harassed Israel. However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is Israel's naked aggression.
That old man actually withstood the Israeli attack! For Arafat, all they have is sympathy, but now, admiration.
Although some people had previously suspected that the hijacking incident was the work of Arafat's organization, Arafat's practice declared this speculation wrong, and his personal dialogue with the hijackers has been broadcast by many media outlets, showing the innocence of the PLO.
The hostages who were taken had already boarded the plane, flew to Frankfurt, and then returned separately.
As a result, many journalists crowded to Frankfurt Airport to get first-hand information, but unfortunately, the police had already sealed off the airport, and the released hostages would describe to the police what had happened, especially information about the hijackers.
Arafat's move has won the favor of the Western world, especially those countries that have been able to return home, and they are even more grateful to Arafat, even the United States has no problem, and they have no good method.
Arafat's international prestige began to grow.
More reporters are still paying attention to the follow-up developments, especially when the passenger plane flew to Tehran, and the rescue of the remaining hostages has become even more hopeless.
At this time, they all received the news that Tehran was also negotiating with the hijackers, hoping to get the hijackers to release the hostages and settle the matter satisfactorily.
All the observers, all the journalists, all the personnel, were shocked: Iran, Khomeini, the madman who clamored for the export of revolution, actually said that he would also release the hostages? What a joke.
From the demands of the hijackers, even idiots can deduce that the hijackers are either Palestinian or Iranian, and now, Arafat has taken practical actions to confirm that the hijackers have nothing to do with him, and Iran has also concocted the same method, proving that there is no connection with the hijackers, and they are also trying to "save" the hostages!
The protagonist of the hostage-taking, the United States, is now only intimidating and not taking actual action, and these two countries hostile to the United States are instead solving the incident of their flight hijacking for the United States, where is the truth of the matter?
The most depressed, I'm afraid, is the United States, now, what should they do?
Zhang Feng has been paying close attention to the development of the situation, at the beginning, he did not see through the truth of the matter, and now, the situation is becoming clearer and clearer, especially when the plane flew to Tehran, what is Khomeini's idea, he has already guessed the ** points.
On the frontal battlefield, the Iranians are beaten and retreated, they are not without people, Iran has a strong population base, and they don't care about human life at all, they can organize some young soldiers to step on mines.
However, the war has been fought so far, and it is becoming more and more obvious, at least in the Southern Military District, Iran has no power to fight back at all, they lack weapons, and it is impossible to rely on manpower alone.
The most important of these is the Air Force! Iran's air force, which was once invincible in the skies of the Middle East, can now only fly over important places, so the initiative on the battlefield has long been firmly in the hands of the Iraqi army.
If Iran wants to continue this war, there is no other way but to think that its weapons, especially the fighters of the Air Force, must be re-armed, even if only 30 F-14s can be put into battle, and the situation will change immediately.
At such times, the Iranians are again thinking about how to import weapons parts from the United States and put the fighter jets back into service.
Although Iran has obtained some parts and components from various international arms dealers, and put some British-made tanks and American-made armored vehicles and other equipment into use, this F-14 fighter is no longer equipped by any other country except the US Navy, so the fighter parts they need most have never been sourced and smuggled into the US Navy? It's simply impossible.
So, Khomeini finally thought of this method: to blackmail the United States!
Thinking of the Iran-Contra incident that put Reagan in a difficult situation in later history, (the United States secretly sold weapons to Iran in exchange for hostages, and as a result, this incident was revealed, causing a serious political crisis in Reagan's political axe), Zhang Feng can't help but wonder, is it because of his own crossing, this incident should have happened earlier?
Due to the limitations of knowledge, most people in Iraq are looking at this incident with the mentality of watching the excitement, and none of them know that this incident has a great deal to do with their own side, including Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
Saddam Hussein was in a good mood, and the thought of the airliner landing in Tehran and then Iran was in a state of wolf smoke under US air strikes, and he rejoiced from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, Zhang Feng doesn't think so, if the United States really strikes Iran, then the purpose is definitely not just to rescue the hostages, but the black gold underground. Although the United States still has a strong adversary waiting for it, once the United States gets its hands on it, it will be a bad start.
This is the land of the Middle Easterners, and Westerners will never be allowed to touch it!
"Qusay, your travel plans have been arranged, and the day after tomorrow, you will visit the Soviet Union." President Saddam Hussein said: "This is your first trip to the Soviet Union, focusing on inspecting the Soviet tank production line and discussing the details with the other side. ”
Originally, President Saddam wanted to send a few diplomats to this kind of thing, but Qusay made a request, considering that he had already imported some production lines from the West and was also experienced in this area, so Saddam sent him out. In addition, there is another purpose, I am afraid that he is deliberately cultivating him to be his successor.
"Qusay, this time I went to the Soviet Union, I hope you have a big harvest." Adnan also said.
At this time, there were only three of them, and it was more like a very ordinary family meeting. Zhang Feng has been in Baghdad for the past few days and has not returned to the Southern Military Region.
"Your Excellency, the recent hijacking of the Iranian plane has just happened, and I would like to postpone my trip." Zhang Feng said.? Saddam Hussein said: "Isn't it just a hijacking, it's not a big deal, and it has nothing to do with us." This time it has already been arranged, and if it is postponed, it will be difficult to explain it on the Soviet side. ”
Zhang Feng knew that if he continued to talk about it, there would be no result, but when he arrived in the Soviet Union, he could still pay attention to this incident.
"Before you go, let's go and see a place." Saddam changed the subject.
A place? Zhang Feng knew that there was something in his father's words.
"Where?"
"That's where Project 13 is located." Adnan said.
Project 13 is already one of Iraq's top secret projects, and its ultimate goal is to produce nuclear weapons!
Therefore, when Zhang Feng heard this name, he felt very excited, although last year, his first action when he first came to this world was to crush the Israeli bombing of Iraq's nuclear reactors, however, because he was not in charge of this project, and he did not know the progress of this project after that.
Now, when he heard that he wanted to go to this project together, Zhang Feng knew that it was no wonder that his father was so happy, it seemed that this project was making progress.
Zhang Feng knows that the principle of nuclear weapons is very simple, but even in later generations, it is very difficult to cross the nuclear threshold and become a member of the nuclear club, and the most complicated thing is the acquisition of raw materials for nuclear weapons!
Iraq has been trying to do this, and although it has acceded to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, it has still used ingenious methods to avoid the twice-a-year inspection of the International Atomic Energy Agency, and in 62 Iraq began to build its first research reactor, the 2 MW IRT-5000, with the assistance of the Soviet Union. Iraq's own researchers in nuclear energy have been trained.
This research reactor could not achieve the purpose of Iraq, so the Oshirak nuclear reactor was imported from France.
Israel carried out relentless air strikes in a vain attempt to strangle Iraq's nuclear program in its cradle, and at this time, Zhang Feng came out of nowhere and stopped Israel's air strikes.
Moreover, by virtue of this incident, Iraq announced that the nuclear reactor had been destroyed, and it was secretly transferred to a secret underground base, completely out of the monitoring of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
