Chapter 685: McFarlane Travels Again
readx;
If you can fight, you can fight, and if you can't fight, you can reason, this is a universal truth, whether it is a small gangster fight, or a war between big countries, it is like this. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧
Now, war is a very uneconomical deal for Israel, and from any point of view, what Israel needs most is to stall for time, and peace talks are a good way to stall for time.
"Peace talks?" General Weizmann looked displeased: "We, Israel, when have we talked about peace, this is a traitorous act!" ”
"Didn't we talk about peace in the first Middle East war? Besides, we're just stalling for time! Rabin said: "I agree to have peace talks. ”
Even the Minister of Defense agreed, and General Weizmann, although his face was already red with anger, sat down in a breath and said nothing.
"I also agree to peace talks." Peres said that the current Israel needs to gain time, the first batch of American planes will be transported to Israel within three days, and their air base, after intense rescue, has opened up a safe passage, and the surviving pilots inside are making preparations for recovery, even if there are ten more warplanes, or five, it is also very necessary for Israel now. ≦≧ as long as the Israeli Air Force has thirty warplanes, they can once again defend their airspace.
What they need now is time, and with time, and with the main leaders of the Arab armies this time, if there is civil strife on the Iraqi side, they can defuse this crisis.
Peace talks, this is the right choice for Israel right now. The use of nuclear weapons is absolutely inappropriate, although this will provoke absolute opposition from the right-wing forces in the country, but it really pushes the Middle East into a nuclear war and exposes its own people to the nuclear weapons of the Soviets, who were not their enemies. Perez knew he couldn't do that.
This time, Israel is not weak. It's about fighting for greater opportunities.
When this incident subsides, Israel needs to invest heavily in the development of air defense systems to intercept ballistic missile systems. I read* Protect your own sky! (In later generations, in order to defend against ballistic missiles of various countries, Israel did its best to defend against ballistic missiles, and they had the "Iron Dome" short-range missile defense system at the lower level, the "David's Catapult" medium-range defense system, and the "Arrow" series missile defense system at the high level.) ≦≧) Israel, it needs to have a sharp arrow to strike the enemy, that is, to increase the development of the Jericho-2 ballistic missile, so that Israel's ballistic missiles. To deter the Arab countries of the entire Middle East, it is also necessary to have the technology to defend against the ballistic missiles of the Arab countries, to strike at the enemy and to defend against the enemy's strikes, and to build a national weapon that is both offensive and defensive!
This time Israel suffers greatly. They have already begun to think about how to fight back, and the Jewish nation has always been a people who are good at thinking and summing up.
"So, how do we make peace? Do we want to say directly to the Arab army on the other side that we will stop making peace? General Weizmann asked.
"Let the Americans do it, and the United States has always been between us. Let them come and talk to both of us, so that we, Israel, have not lost face. The foreign minister said.
Although the United States has torn its skin with the Iraqi side and imposed sanctions on Iraq, until now, it has not completely blocked the road of both sides, and has not made a step with Iran. ≦≧
At present, many countries in the world are hoping that the Middle East issue will be resolved as soon as possible, so that the new round of crude oil turmoil in the world can go down as soon as possible, and the Western world cannot stand the unlimited rise in oil prices.
Therefore, as soon as the United States calls for it, countless countries will follow suit and let the crisis in the Middle East pass as soon as possible.
"However, if we are going to negotiate, then, we must have our own bottom line, the latest chapter of the Great Wilderness Fist." said the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The bottom line? Our bottom line is that there is no bottom line! Perez said: "Our current negotiations are just to stall for time, so you should be very good at this kind of diplomatic thing, right?" ”
"Yes, I see." said the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Their negotiations are not at all aimed at achieving any ceasefire, their current negotiations are aimed at delaying time, allowing the US fighter planes to arrive, and when there is civil strife in Iraq, when the time comes, their crisis will naturally be resolved; diplomatically, in a negotiation, the two sides will talk at each other and talk endlessly at the negotiating table for a month or two, but they will not reach any opinion, and this is possible. ≦≧ the Israeli side wants to negotiate, which is undoubtedly very good news for the United States, and now the United States is worried about how to deal with the situation in the Middle East, which is changing so rapidly that it is completely beyond the control of the United States, and in particular, after receiving the Soviet Union's nuclear deterrence against Israel, the United States feels that it has a big head.
At such a time, is the only choice for the United States to use its own nuclear weapons to deter the Soviet Union? However, the nuclear weapons of the United States were originally aimed at the Soviet Union, and it was just a declaration that it did not take much effort, but in this case, the United States has no reason to do so, either in the United Nations or in the world.
Using its own nuclear bomb to protect a country that challenges the basic laws of the world, even if the United States' position in the international community is stinky, the United States must still do so, because the Soviet Union's deterrence of Israel is to show the United States a tiger across the mountain.
At this time, the Israeli side proposed that it wanted to reconcile, which made the United States feel relieved, and the United States was very willing to do this job of tuning.
But who to send? This person needs a lot of courage, because, after all, the two sides are now at war, and the previous US sanctions against Iraq have made Iraq have no good impression of the United States, and even the US ambassador to Iraq is also handing over materials, hoping to end his term of office and return to the United States, even if it is to be an officer in the White House. ≦≧
The people of the Middle East, he has seen that kind of fanaticism, if Iraq becomes Iran, and patriotic students take the embassy hostage.
In particular, it is now known to the whole world that the cause of this incident was Israel's nuclear weapons, in which the United States played a very disgraceful role. It is said that in Baghdad, in Riyadh and other places, patriotic students marched several times to protest against the actions of the US government.
Therefore, the person sent to be sent needs to have a close relationship with the Iraqi high-level in addition to being brave, and he needs to be a veteran in foreign affairs.
When President Reagan was worried, the national security adviser interjected: "I know there is a person who is very suitable for this trip. ”
"Who?" President Bush asked.
"It's McFarlane."
McFarlane! They all remembered this somewhat chubby middle-aged man, last time, McFarlane was fortunate to save American hostages from Iran, so that the Reagan administration gained high prestige, which is also one of the aspects of his re-election, otherwise, if he is as incompetent as the Carter administration, there will be a big crisis.
When McFarlane returned, he was also promoted to the White House as deputy chief of staff.
Now, Reagan thought of this person, and immediately felt that it was indeed very appropriate to let this person go, this person has the courage and ability, it can be seen from the last incident, and he also had a friendship with the top level of the Iraqi side in the last incident, it is said that Qusay will meet him, let this person go, and hope that this thing can be done!
When everyone else was gone, Reagan left CIA Director Casey behind and asked, "How's the Iraqi side going?" ”
Casey knew that the president was referring to that top-secret matter.
"Now that everything is going well, we have successfully mobilized the Kamal brothers, who control the special guards of the president's private security forces in Baghdad, Iraq, although they are idle by Qusay, but this army is still under their orders, and now that Baghdad is empty, they are very sure that the coup will succeed." Casey said.
"Okay," President Reagan nodded, very pleased with the progress of the project.
To solve the Middle East problem, Reagan decided to take a two-pronged approach: to appease the Iraqi side first, let Representative McFarlane go to complete the task of making peace talks between the two sides, and at the same time, let the Iraqi backyard catch fire, drive out Qusay, and install an Iraqi regime that can reassure the United States.
Although the United States has nodded and said that it will absolutely support the Kamal brothers, but it will also depend on the international situation, and if it can support it, the United States will not hesitate to use its own force to support the Kamal brothers in consolidating their power.
The Kamal brothers did not know that the Americans were ready to trap them at any time, and they were now confident.
Because the war on the Western Front has involved most of Iraq's energy, the armored forces originally stationed next to Baghdad have also moved to the western border area, and Kamal has also received reliable information, and now, Qusay is not in Baghdad, but out.
If Qusay was in Baghdad, they still had some resistance in their hearts, and now, Qusay is not there, they only need to mobilize the forces they can control, occupy the Palace of the Republic and the Ministry of Defense, and possibly complete the task of the coup d'état without or without bloodshed.
A new government will be formed, and such a thing has been repeated many times in history. As for the possible counterattack by Qusay, on the one hand, they will contact the self-respecting generals to make them obey the new government, and on the other hand, if those troops do not obey their orders, they will suffer a blow from the United States.
Power, will make people lose their eyes, lose their judgment, a former car soldier, want to ascend to the throne of power, it is not so easy.
