Chapter 618: Two Choices

The Bosphorus Bridge was bombed! Almost immediately, the news reached the White House. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When he heard the news, Reagan only felt his arm, and he trembled involuntarily, and he couldn't even hold the cigar in his hand.

Eurasian Bridge! This bridge is a passage connecting Europe and Asia, and it is also a necessary passage to mobilize troops and logistics from Europe to support the troops entering Iraq! The swift presence of our own troops in northern Iraq is due to the fact that this bridge is indispensable!

And now, the bridge has been bombed! Relying on ferry transportation, the efficiency will be greatly reduced! And the army on the front line will move slowly due to lack of supplies!

Although Reagan had never commanded the army, he knew what it meant, and the situation he faced would be even more critical!

"It's all an act of war!" Defense Secretary Weinberg said: "The Soviets actually dared to use cruise missiles to attack the bridge of neutral Turkey!" This is a declaration of war on Turkey, on the whole of NATO! ”

This is, of course, an act of war! If a meteorite fell from the sky and smashed this bridge, then Turkey gritted its teeth and swallowed it, and now? It's exactly the attack of the Soviets! This is the same as the island nation attacking Pearl Harbor without declaring war!

This kind of method is extremely bad, it has exceeded the limit of its own tolerance, and if it does not support Turkey behind its back, then the value of the existence of the United States will be gone!

Dark clouds enveloped the White House, enveloped the whole world, and everyone present felt the seriousness of the matter, is this the beginning of the Third World War?

"Boom." At this moment, the door to the Oval Table room was opened, and Secretary of State George hurriedly walked in: "I have already made the toughest diplomatic note to the Soviet side. ”

"What did the Soviets say?" Reagan asked, the attitude of the Soviets is very important, if the Soviets have a tough attitude and claim that they deserve to bomb Turkey, it is the coming of war! If the Soviets say that this was a misfire from one of their exercises, it means that the Soviets do not want to make a stalemate yet, and there is still room for relaxation.

"The Soviets were very angry, saying that we were slandering, that they were throwing dirt on them, and that they themselves had never thought of striking the bridge." George said angrily: "This is simply talking nonsense with open eyes!" If it wasn't a cruise missile launched by the Soviets, then who else did it? ”

Although it was dark at night when the bridge was blown up, although the incoming missile had been flying at an ultra-low altitude all along, and although the radars along the coast had not detected it, even if you just thought about it with your ass, you could know that it was a cruise missile launched by the Soviets that blew up the bridge! And now, the Soviets actually refused to admit it!

"The Soviets said that if they wanted to blow up the bridge, when their fleet passed through during the day, the naval guns would bombard it, and since they didn't do anything about the bridge during the day, it would be even more impossible for them to do it at night, and they wanted us to show evidence, otherwise they would go to the United Nations and sue us for slander. It is said that the bridge is a tofu scum project, because of the passage of heavy troops, the bridge is overloaded and caused by the breakage. George continued.

CIA Director William's eyebrows suddenly moved, and it was obvious that the Soviets didn't want to tear their faces apart.

In order to protect Turkey, the United States has also made efforts to deploy more anti-aircraft missile units and air force fighters, but no one expected that the Soviets' retaliation was to blow up the bridge.

Killing two birds with one stone, in addition to taking revenge on Turkey, it also cut off its own transportation lines, and it will be much more difficult for your own side to transport supplies to the frontline battlefield. At the same time, the Soviets hit this cruise missile, which can be regarded as a vent, and they do not want to further intensify the contradictions.

What else could you do? Is World War III really fought? The Soviets certainly didn't want to see that, so their statements are so intriguing.

And the United States, now even more so cannot fight the Third World War! Because, now Europe is empty! The main forces came to fight in the Middle East, and the troops on the European front were overstretched. If a world war really starts at this time, it will definitely not be able to stop the rolling torrent of armor of the Soviets!

You must know that you have mobilized so many troops, and the Soviet troops in Eastern Europe have not moved at all, and they have always been fully equipped! And the West won by the quality of equipment, but now it seems that the ground forces of the Soviets are superior to their own in terms of quantity and quality!

If a big war really starts, it will be bad for the United States, maybe the United States will leave the whole of Europe, and at most one Britain will be left!

However, if you agree with this statement of the Soviets, then you have to swallow this breath hard? After the Soviets, must they not be more arrogant?

As a thoughtful intelligence officer, William quickly analyzed the connection, and the people in the room were all veteran politicians, and they quickly thought about the reason for all this.

It seems that there are only two ways before the United States, either to expose the lies of the Soviets, to salvage the fragments of the Soviets' cruise missiles, to confirm that the Soviets did it, and to administer justice to Turkey. And such a result may well be the beginning of the Great War.

Either that, they agreed with the Soviet statement and sacrificed Turkey's interests, believing that the bridge broke this time was not a missile attack by the Soviets, but a defect in the bridge itself. And as a result, the United States has completely lost its dignity!

How to choose, it's a difficult problem!

When William looked up, he saw that Reagan was still smoking his cigar, looking out the window at the leaves and birds, and not saying a word.

Although he is an actor, Reagan's will is very firm, and it is definitely not simple to be able to take the position of president step by step through the campaign, how should he deal with this problem? And now, facing a mess of the Middle East battlefield, how should he end?

"Oh no, no!" At this moment, Baker, the director of the White House staff, ran in in a panic, and he was always calm and pale.

"What's wrong?" Bush, who has been silent, asked, he also knows that he is facing a difficult problem now, and there is almost no solution, this is already the most headache, is there worse news than this?

"Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, has been captured by the Iraqi army! Saudi royal family, Saudi royal family..."

"What happened to the Saudi royal family?" Reagan asked. (To be continued.) )
