Chapter 329: Sudden Stop
In the past, bombing was mainly carried out on the ground through visual aiming, because of the lack of advanced on-board computers and other equipment, it had to rely on the technology of bombardiers.
But now, the development of on-board computer technology has been very mature, and many times bombers launch cruise missiles, and there is no need to look at them at all, even if they drop ordinary bombs, sophisticated on-board computers, they have long been calculated.
Therefore, the position of the navigation and bombardier no longer needs to be at the nose.
For the B-52 bomber, the crew normally consists of five people, and the front and co-pilot sit in the bubble-shaped cockpit in the nose of the nose, divided into 12 panes. The navigator and radar operator sat side by side on the lower level of the nose. The tail gunner sat in a separate cockpit at the end of the fuselage.
This position of the tail gunner is the most clumsy, and it takes a person who has practiced jiu-jitsu to get in, which is too small.
At the same time, in fact, there is no need, the self-defense cannon in the tail is only symbolic, and it is relied on to drive out enemy aircraft, which is simply the way of fighting during World War II.
The bomber was slowly approaching, getting closer, and he could see the huge canyon below, and Mark's body, with a slight tremble, knew that the most exciting time was coming.
Carory had participated in the Vietnam War and carried out many bombings, but this was the first time that Mark had pressed the button and countless bombs would fall, along this canyon, blowing up the Soviet tank units below!
At this time, in the canyon, the Soviet troops who could not advance or retreat, they could not see the bombers in the sky, because they were blocked by both sides of the canyon, but the tanks that had gone out could see clearly.
The bombers of the Americans are coming, and right away, there will be terrible bombs, which will fall like rain!
The biggest feature of carpet bombing is that it is intensive, at night, so many F-4 fighters dive, and there are few bombs that fall into the canyon, but now, once the B-52 starts bombing, I don't know how many bombs can fall, they are dangerous!
The bomber continued to fly, and Mark was already waiting for the final order to come.
Even Carory held his breath, ahead, about to reach the target position, ready to drop the bomb!
When the order to drop the bomb is given, the hatch in the belly of the aircraft will open, and the bombs will roll down from the bomb bay like dump trucks unloading, as if it were raining.
However, at this moment, an order suddenly came from his headset: "Weasel, Weasel, mission canceled, please return immediately, please return immediately." ”
What the? Mission canceled?
I've taken off my pants, so show me this?
Carory was quite unhappy, this order was given unexpectedly, and in the next second, he was about to start bombing!
The tankmen below, looking at the B-52 overhead in amazement, suddenly turned and flew away, giving up the bombing of the place, they were also extremely surprised, what the hell happened?
No one knows what happened, and those who know are constantly cursing in their hearts, how did they be blind in the first place and push such a weak and incompetent president up?
Carter's rise to power was full of contempt for the military and antipathy to violence.
At that time, the American army was mired in war, they lost their faith, why should I fight? Why died in Vietnam? What does this have to do with the United States?
A war that has nothing to do with the United States has caused the United States heavy losses, and the death of countless soldiers has made civilians doubt the justice of the war.
So, Carter came to power, and after he came to power, he began to withdraw troops from Vietnam, we can't use violence, we want peace, this is one of Carter's beliefs.
And now, that belief is working again.
Two hours ago.
"Mr. President, the Ambassador of the Soviet Union asks for a meeting." Just because of the sudden and bold military action of the Soviets in Hokkaido, there was a risk of occupying all of Hokkaido, and in this case, Carter was already in a mess, and he did not know what to do.
And now, the Soviet ambassador actually came to ask for a meeting, so President Carter did not hesitate and immediately said: "Let him come to me!" ”
Once, the Soviet ambassador to the United States had a rather formidable existence, and his ability was unmatched, that is, Gromyko, and after becoming the Soviet ambassador to the United States, he returned to the role of People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, that is, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
And Gromyko's successor is actually not weak.
Anatoly Fedorovich Dobrynin, a prominent Soviet diplomat, moreover, he was a halfway monk.
Born in November 1919 in the Moscow region to a working-class family, Dobrynin became a designer at the Jacques aircraft factory after graduating from university in 1942. In the summer of 1944, at the age of 25, Dobrynin was sent to study at the Foreign Affairs Academy, and in September 1952, at the age of 32, Dobrynin was sent to the United States as a counselor.
was originally an engineering student, but he became a diplomat by mistake, and what made him alone was the terrible historical event.
In 1962, at the age of 42, Dobrynin was appointed ambassador to the United States, and at that time, he was faced with the Cuban Missile Crisis!
The US aircraft carrier formation, just off the coast of Cuba, could turn into a world war at any time, and after Dobrynin came to power, he successfully mediated a solution to the Cuban missile crisis, and from that time on, Dobrynin became a firefighter.
The Soviet invasion of the Czech Republic, the Middle East crisis, the Vietnam crisis, and later the Afghanistan crisis, the Soviet Union's downing of a South Korean airliner, the reduction of nuclear weapons between the United States and the Soviet Union, and various summits, etc., he has experienced too much, from Khrushchev to Gorbachev, the six leaders, all of whom were Dobrynin as ambassadors in the United States and coordinated from them.
At the same time, Dobrynin also developed deep personal relationships with six U.S. presidents and seven secretaries of state.
In the past, Soviet diplomats always held the ideology of exporting revolution, and they could only act as microphones for Moscow, and could not play a buffering role at all. Dobrynin, on the other hand, has an excellent insight into American society and the American way of thinking, convincing the other side in themselves and then figuring out a solution to the problem.
And this time, Dobrynin came to put out the fire again, and the military operation in Hokkaido was out of play!
By this time, the Soviets had achieved victory, they landed in Hokkaido, gained the territory of eastern Hokkaido, and connected it with the four northern islands, so that a good outlet to the sea was already available.
Although he wanted to occupy the whole island at the beginning, it seems that if he didn't take the initiative to show goodwill, the army in the valley might be wiped out, and it would be two divisions! If something really happened, then the Soviet Union had no choice but to declare war on the United States.
The purpose of the Soviet Union was to occupy Hokkaido, not to detonate a world war, and now, it is time to take it when it is good!
