Chapter 372 Iraq has a great international spirit

When McFarlane stepped off the plane, there was already a large crowd of reporters at the airport, and the flash of the camera was flashing, and Macfarlane knew that his scenery was coming.

The hostages who followed him and experienced more than a month of inhumanity also stepped off the plane one by one.

"Mr. McFarlane, I heard that you have been very helpful in bringing our people back this time?"

"I heard that the hijacking was caused by the Iranians themselves? Those hijackers are Iranians? ”

"I heard that you were in distress halfway and there was a rescue by a mysterious special forces, is this force our American?"

Countless reporters crowded over, trying in vain to break down the defense set up by the security guards, and shouted at McFarlane, who already knew that McFarlane had played a big role in saving the hostages this time.

This feeling is so cool! McFarlane had always been looking forward to being noticed, and this time he finally got his wish, he said: "Yes, at first, we just thought it was an ordinary hijacking, but, after our careful investigation, those hijackers have a close relationship with the Iranians, and one of our hostages knows a little Arabic, and once heard on the radio, the hijackers were talking closely with other people at the airport, and the purpose of the Iranians was to force our political axe to sell weapons to them, but, Our political axe was not compromised by the coercion of the Iranians, and we, with the help of friendly Iraq, managed to escape the control of the Iranians and return to Iraq through the Iranian-Iranian border. It's back here again. ”

got a positive answer, the reporter was a sensation, all kinds of questions, they wanted to follow along, how did the Iraqis help? How did they return through the Iran-Iraq border? Inside. Is there any story that has happened? Journalists are becoming more interested in the country of Iraq.

It's just that. They were not given the opportunity to ask questions. McFarlane had already left the airport.

McFarlane then saw Vice President Bush who had come to greet him.

Looking at the smiling vice president, McFarlane remembered the ordeal he had suffered these days, and he was emotional, and said, "Mr. President, I have finally completed my mission and brought all our people back. ”

Bush nodded and said, "Mike, you're suffering. The president is waiting for you at the White House! ”

President? McFarlane knew his chance to make a name for himself.

Bush greeted the returning hostages at the airport and expressed his condolences for their suffering. While harshly condemning the rogue state of Iran, the romance bar also expressed gratitude to Iraq for its selfless assistance.

Subsequently, Bush's speech spread throughout the United States. The whole world.

Everyone knows that although the hostages were taken by the same Khomeini, the American political axe has been working hard, and under the pressure of the powerful military power of the United States, with the help of a mysterious force in friendly Iraq, they are finally out of danger and return to their homeland.

Although the operation of the US political axe this time took a little longer, after all, all the hostages were rescued, and compared with the last Carter political axe, it can be said that it is completely qualified in handling the hostage incident.

At the same time, those statements made about Iran, which were scoffed at by the media, the Americans sent weapons to Iran? Are you kidding! The one who saved the hostages, it was Iraq that was at war with Iran!

There are also a few people who question why the Americans did not send special forces to take action themselves, but with the help of Iraq, which was immediately refuted by more people, in the last hostage incident, the troop rescue operation was a complete failure, the US military is not very adapted to the climate in the Middle East, and Iran's land area is too large, if you want to rescue the hostages, the US military is not completely sure, and Iraq has always been at war with Iran, knows Iran very well, and it is simply easy to rescue the hostages.

However, the people in the military, of course, have no face.

Iraq, this time as a more glorious image, appeared in front of the American public, they have never found out that Iraq is such a trustworthy and friendly country! The Iraqi Grand Duke was selfless and rescued the hostages from the clutches of Khomeini, so that all Americans were full of good feelings about Iraq.

And the legendary mysterious special forces aroused the associations of many people.

In the White House, Reagan personally met with McFarlane, because there were many things that he needed to know clearly.

"Mike, this time you personally took the risk, negotiated with the Iranians, and rescued all the hostages, and we were able to successfully resolve this crisis, all of which are due to you." Reagan said with a smile.

"For the sake of the American people, I am more than willing to do this." "Every one of our citizens overseas deserves our protection, because they're Americans!" ”

Reagan was very satisfied with McFarlane's answer, yes, as an American, he must always be protected by a powerful United States, but this time, with the help of Iraq.

"How did you suddenly disappear from the Iranian convoy?" Reagan was very concerned about this, and it was from the road near Tabriz that they suddenly disappeared, which attracted the close attention of Reagan's top brass, so that he asked for help from Iraq.

Speaking of this, it may be the most thrilling time for them this time, McFarlane said: "At that time, our convoy stopped, and the Iranian who escorted us asked me to inform our ship to transport the arms to the dock and hand them over to the Iranians before they could continue to let us go north. However, in the case of the situation, if I objected, I was afraid that the Iranians would also threaten our hostages, and while we were hesitating, a force mysteriously appeared, engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the Iranians, killed the Iranians, and rescued us. ”

Reagan had already guessed what was going on when he heard the front, but when he heard the back, he always felt that something was wrong.

It was they who lost the hostages before they contacted Iraq, and Iraq sent special forces to help, and now, it is clear that Iraq has rescued the hostages in advance!

That guy from Cusai is a good guy!

Thinking of the conditions that made him crazy put forward by Kusai later, even the production line of F404 was asked by Cusai, in fact, he had already rescued the hostages!

However, by doing this, Kusai did a great favor to the United States, and it was this method that made Reagan grit his teeth with some hatred and was calculated by Kusai!

General Power, which produces F404 engines, is relatively satisfied with the output of this production line, because, since losing to Pratt & Whitney's F-100 engine in the high-thrust engine project, this engine is used to equip the main F-15 and F-16 fighters of the US military, General Dynamics has been making every effort to develop the F-110 engine, hoping to regain the occupied market.

Moreover, the Iraqi side also hinted that their final aircraft production, more than 100, the need for this engine, the final scale may be 300 units, although Iraq imported the production line, but the required raw materials are imported from the United States, those high-grade titanium alloys, do not need General Dynamics to process into specific components, and can make a lot of dollars.

Through this incident, Iraq's international status has risen to a high level, and almost everyone knows that Iraq firmly opposes the idea of terrorism and has transnationally rescued hostages taken by other countries, which is a great international spirit!

The media of almost all countries have taken this incident as the headline, and many impurities have been printed on the covers with the portrait of Saddam Hussein, a Middle Eastern head of state with a great international spirit!

Although this was planned and carried out by Qusay alone, it was of course carried out under the leadership of President Hussein, the great leader of Iraq, who claimed to the outside world.

Saddam Hussein was very happy.

In order to revive Iraq and become a great power in the Middle East, a good international image is very important, when Qusai came to discuss this matter with him, Saddam Hussein was still angry because the United States secretly exported weapons to Khomeini, and even wanted to take these hostages, but he finally agreed to Qusay's proposal.

Now it seems that Qusay's approach was correct, and his intellect, not only in military but also politically, is finally beginning to be revealed.

Saddam Hussein was very satisfied with Qusay, who, although his prestige was getting higher and higher, was very good at restraining himself, and he had always been very loyal to his duties and did not overstep his authority.

The last time the offensive of the Northern Military Region failed, Qusay proposed a solution to resolve the crisis, and after the matter was completed, he took the initiative to return to the Southern Military District.

In Saddam's heart, he already regarded Qusai as his successor, and he was very relieved about Qusai.

And Uday, Saddam Hussein has a headache when he thinks about it.

Uday this guy, has not converged at all, since the last Uday assassination, the surname has changed greatly, what Uday did, Saddam Hussein knows very well, just because Uday is now physically disabled, as long as he does not go too far, Saddam Hussein is not willing to deal with him, if he has half of Qusay, it is Allah bless.

"President." At this time, Barzan, who was in charge of intelligence, reported to him.

"How's it going, have you found out?" Saddam asked.

"Yes, recently, Uday secretly contacted a killer organization, Assasin, and our intelligence department has determined that on two occasions, Assasin's number two person has appeared in Uday's villa."

"Okay, you go out." Saddam Hussein said: "Continue to spy secretly. ”

Watching Barzan go out, a trace of doubt flashed in Saddam's mind, Uday played with women and abused prisoners, then forget it, but what purpose did he have in getting involved with that Assasin organization? So, who is he targeting?
