Chapter 140: Diverting Attention
"President, come out!"
"Carter, come out!" Outside the White House, there were constantly people shouting, and at this time, thousands of people were already gathered outside. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"My daughter, she's only sixteen years old, she's traveling to South Korea, who knows, who knows." In a corner, facing the reporter's camera, a mother cried and said: "I really didn't expect that all this was actually instigated by the government behind the scenes, and the government could actually use our civil airliner as a tool for reconnaissance, and it could deviate from the course and provoke the bottom line of the Soviets!" ”
The mother cried breathlessly: "My little Elena, you died unjustly! ”
Originally, I thought that the Soviets blatantly shot down the passenger plane, which made the whole world full of disgust with the Soviet Union, but now, all the facts, the spearhead is pointed at the US government, and it is actually the government that is using civil airliners to investigate! Ran to the top of the Soviets' heads to reconnoitre, but they were shot down!
He died unjustly, more than 200 unjust souls, and he can't even find the corpse until now!
The evidence is conclusive, first a reporter photographed the reconnaissance equipment in the wreckage of the passenger plane, and then there was a recording of the black box of the passenger plane released by the Soviet government, what else does the government have to say?
In the past few days, they have been holding demonstrations outside the White House, hoping that the government can come forward to explain, but President Carter, who was still in style during the election campaign, has been a turtle with a shrunken head at this time and will not come out at all.
"The populace was bewitched by the Soviets." National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski said: "It is ironic that we, the people, do not believe our propaganda, but believe in the demagogy of the Soviets. ”
No one paid attention to Brzezinski's words, this would have been true, and now. It's not an option to drag it all the time.
"Kristophe, what do you think?" Carter asked Secretary of State Warren Mine-Christophe, who was on the sidelines.
In history, President Carter is considered the most failed president of the United States, and during his tenure, many things happened, such as Iran's seizure of Americans. Rescue operations failed, such as his attempt to implement economic reforms, which were blocked by Congress and could not be passed, and when he left the White House indifferently, Americans did not have the slightest love for him.
And now, when Carter was just becoming president of the United States, trouble came, and it had nothing to do with him. The butt left by his ex, he has to rub it.
"I think we should probably look away from our people." Kristof said: "Now, aren't we in friction with the Soviets in the island country? Let's just expand the friction and let our people know that the Soviet Union is the enemy of our Western world, and we should unite against the Soviet Union. ”
Amplify friction! This has been coming for some time. The United States has always been disgraced by the MiG-25 of the Soviets, and now. Finally, with the advanced F-15 fighters, an overwhelming victory over the Soviet Union was achieved, so it is better to take the opportunity to expand the friction and let the country know that it has defeated the evil Soviet Union and know that its own strength is strong!
Carter frowned, the last air contact. It's already very risky, in case it causes a direct confrontation between the two sides, it will lead to a world war, and now, do you want to continue to play with fire?
Carter was a president who was very knowledgeable. During his tenure, relations with China were normalized, the Soviet Union was completely encircled in the east, and the Cold War mentality was deeply rooted, but it did not enter a state of war.
Now, to continue playing with fire, Carter is a little worried.
"Yes, I also agree that if we had a small conflict with the Soviet Union, this civil airliner incident would have passed, and it would not have attracted congressional interference, and besides, we should not have fallen into a large-scale conflict by using only aviation power. This is not Western Europe after all. "Secretary of Defense Harold? General Brown said.
If it is in Western Europe, once the two sides face each other, there may be a ground war, and the Soviet Union's rolling armor torrent is waiting to advance westward. There are islands, and at most there will be some air conflicts, and it will be difficult to fight a ground war.
Although intelligence said that the Soviets had some movement in the Far East, after careful assessment, the intelligence services did not believe that the Soviets would actually launch a large-scale offensive.
Our own F-15 fighters completed their tasks very well in this air battle, and absolutely crushed any kind of fighter of the Soviets!
"Okay, I agree, but be sure to pay attention to the scale and don't ignite an all-out war." President Carter finally agreed. In order to divert the attention of the people at home, he had to start an external conflict, and Carter felt that he was too despicable to do so, just like the politicians he hated the most.
Having received an order from above, the 14 flying team went out again.
Last time, they flew over the center line of the Rapperoz Strait, that is, the border between Hokkaido and Sakhalin, and some air battles even broke out over Aniva Bay, and the memory of the plane that shot down the Soviets at that time made them extremely excited.
Originally, they thought that it was just a day trip to Sakhalin, and the pilots who did not shoot down the battle were disappointed, but now, the order has finally been given, and they can continue to fly north, and even fly over Sakhalin!
It's amazing! This time you can compete with the Soviets again!
After full tactical arrangements, the 14th Flying Team took off twenty-one F-15 fighters, ready to play to its advantage again.
The name is still needed, and at the same time as they took off, at the Chitose base in Hokkaido, four F-4 fighters with plaster flags took off, ready to go to the sky over Sakhalin Island in advance to provoke.
At the same time, naval aviation was also notified that, like last time, they would lie in ambush in some airspace, waiting for the arrival of their prey.
The battle has entered the countdown again!
They did not know that their actions were already well understood by Sakhalin.
A large four-engine plane flew over the northern part of Sakhalin, carrying a large plate on its back.
There are not many large four-engine aircraft in the Soviet Union, the main force is the Tu-95 bomber and the Tu-114 passenger aircraft modified on the basis of the Tu-95 bomber, and this aircraft with a large plate is an AWACS aircraft modified on the basis of the Tu-114 passenger aircraft, Tu-126!
Compared to the Tu-114, the fuselage of this aircraft is almost identical, except that an air fuel receiving tube is added to the nose, the tail has a pelvic fin, and the upper part of the fuselage is equipped with a rotating radar radome with a diameter of 11 meters.
The appearance is somewhat strange, NATO has given the nickname of moss according to the appearance of such aircraft. (To be continued.) )
