Chapter 386: Second Action
"The main reason for our last failure was to underestimate the bad weather in the Middle East, our Super Stallion helicopters, when flying in the desert, the mechanical wear was very serious, and the last few helicopters that returned home, when they were overhauled, found that the engines were almost at the end of their life. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 "As the head of the operation, it is a miracle that Captain Walter was able to get back from Iran, but although he was extremely depressed by the failure of the mission, he was not discouraged, he wanted to avenge his dead comrades, and he wanted to continue to complete his mission!"
This time, he came to the White House to report to the US high-level, which gave him great confidence, which shows that the high-level has not yet given up the plan to rescue the hostages by force!
The main reason for the failure last time was that your own helicopter was not powerful! This time, you can't make the same mistake! So, the second time the plan was made, Captain Vought had already abandoned the Super Stallion helicopter.
"Mainly because Tehran is too far away, if we take off from the Caspian Sea, it will only take a distance of hundreds of kilometers, and from the direction of the Arabian Sea, it will be a thousand kilometers!" The defense minister said: "We cannot start this operation from the Arabian Sea. ”
If you take off from the Caspian Sea, it will be simply too cool, it's just that this is absolutely impossible, because the USSR has long regarded the Caspian Sea as their inland sea!
"So what do we do?" Carter asked, the failure of the first operation, so that the prestige of the government lost again, fortunately the Iranians are stupid enough, when those photos of the hostages were mistreated to the world, the attitude of the American people is not to accuse the government of not doing it, but to condemn this terrorist act of Iran!
This is also the reason why Carter is determined to organize a second rescue, and if he does a good job, he will have a great hope of being re-elected, and if he does it, then he will wait to leave the White House.
"We used a C-130 transport plane, which took off from Turkey, passed through the northern mountains and landed directly into a basketball court near the embassy." Captain Watt said.
C-130, with a large carrying capacity, as long as one of them lands, it is enough to rescue all the hostages, and there is no need to use so many helicopters! However, this C-130, even if it takes off and lands for a short distance, requires a distance of about 200 meters, and a basketball court, is it enough?
"We need to straps a booster rocket to the wing of the C-130 to achieve short take-off and landing." Captain Walter said, "We are confident that we will complete this mission. ”
Tie up booster rockets! Only crazy people would be able to come up with this idea!
"Okay, I agree with this plan in principle, first of all, we must make sufficient preparations and don't make the same mistakes as last time." Carter said slowly.
In his speech to the nation, Carter said that the responsibility for the failure of the entire mission lies with himself, and in this sentence, Carter's public approval rating increased by 10 percent.
However, this method can only be used once, and if it is used a second time, it will definitely not work, and if it fails this time, how can it face the public?
"Mr. President, the Soviet side has sent a message that the Soviet Union is willing to provide support if the Soviet side is required to cooperate in this operation to rescue the hostages." Just then, the Secretary of State came in and said.
USSR? It's time to pretend to be a good person! When President Carter heard this, he only felt that his mind was full of anger: "Tell the Soviet ambassador that we don't need the help of the Soviet Union, we can solve this incident ourselves!" ”
"It's impossible for the Yankees to rescue the hostages, unless the Yankees send troops from the direction of Turkey or the Pakistani border, all the way to Tehran." On the plane home, Andrei said to his staff, the senior officers of the military district who were visiting Iraq this time.
If you can, that is, when you save it for the first time, there is a chance, but fortunately, the Soviet side also ambushed the spies in advance! After discovering the actions of the Americans, the spy ran to report it to the authorities, but fortunately the Iranians reacted quickly enough and taught the Americans a hard lesson, otherwise, the Americans would have really succeeded!
As for this spy, because of this report, he was taken seriously by the authorities and was absorbed into the YSL Revolutionary Guard, and he will slowly climb up in the future, and it will have a greater effect!
Pit the Yankees is always the most pleasing thing to the eye!
"What about the Americans, will they start a war?" Colonel Choibalshan, commander of the 149th Infantry Division, asked.
"Of course not, the Vietnam War scared the Yankees, they will not start a war easily, besides, even if they start a war, they will usher in a head-on attack from the Iranians, although the level of the Iranians' armed forces has dropped greatly, but the Iranian people are fanatical enough, caught in the vast sea of Iran's people's war, the Americans will definitely fail." Andrei continued.
"Yes, the Turkish direction is all high mountains, and the mechanized forces of the United States cannot be used, and if you attack from the southeast, the strategic depth is too great, and it is quite difficult for the Americans to advance thousands of kilometers on Iranian soil." Andrei's guard captain Varisi followed: "Iran is not easy to conquer, there must be special means. ”
"Yes, this special means is splitting." "Iran is not monolithic, we divide them, provoke them to fight internally, and then we can get the access to the Indian Ocean that we need at the lowest cost," Andrei said. ”
The Americans, they simply did not dare to start a war!
However, Andre didn't know that he was not the prophetic emperor, this time, his judgment was really wrong, the rabbit was in a hurry and bit people, not to mention the American emperor!
And all this, because Iran is stupid enough! In other words, the Iranians have a tendon in their brains, they think that they are the most rogue in the global village, they want to be the hegemon of the Middle East, and if they want to export the revolution, they must make a sufficient example! In the Middle East, anti-American is a banner! Because of Israel's relations, Middle Easterners hate the West and are anti-American, so they can gather more popularity for Iran!
USA, Lockheed, Skunk Works.
There is a transport plane parked on the runway, judging from the shape, it is an ordinary C-130 transport plane, however, at this time, this transport plane is a little peculiar, because on the fuselage, something is attached!
At the nose of the nose, there are eight telescopic rocket boosters, facing the front, and at the rear of the fuselage, there are also four boosters on one side, facing the backward direction.
This aircraft is a dedicated C-130 that takes off and lands in a place the size of a football field to meet the needs of rescuing hostages! (To be continued.) )
