It can be said that Nathan has been having a good time in Hollywood recently, with beauties in his arms, surrounded by friends, writing scripts, eating, drinking and having fun, and seems to be happy.

However, such a Nathan is not the real Nathan, but like a broken can Nathan, a pilot who soars in the blue sky, and a fighter who fights in the blue sky, it is absolutely impossible to become a dramatist.

The fighting spirit in Nathan's heart has begun to slowly recover.

Emily looked at Nathan's expression, she was very happy in her heart, she was familiar with Nathan, such eyes, I had often seen them before, for the first time, when I was in Alaska, I saw Nathan for the first time, and I was already attracted by the monstrous battle intent in Nathan's eyes, this is a man who will not give up admitting defeat under any circumstances.

Now, that look is back.

Nathan said to Emily: "Of course there is a way, but I am only a retired naval aviation pilot now, I can't get in touch with the high-level, if I have a choice, I will transfer our A-10 attack aircraft force to the island country as soon as possible." ”

The Americans never thought of fighting armored troops with armored troops, the characteristics of the Soviets were not afraid of the dead, but the United States could not.

Especially in the 60s, the Warsaw Pact countries led by the Soviet Union strengthened the construction of armored forces, and the entry into service of T-62 and T-64 tanks strengthened the Warsaw Pact's quantitative and qualitative superiority over NATO in terms of tanks.

The pressure on NATO was even greater, and given the good performance of the A-1 in the Vietnam War, the US Air Force envisaged replacing it with a new close support aircraft.

In 1966, the U.S. Air Force, based on the lessons learned from the A-1 attack aircraft in the Vietnam War, proposed the A-X program with a view to replacing the former. According to preliminary research, the Air Force has defined several goals for the A-X aircraft: high combat effectiveness, strong survivability, simplicity, flexible response, low price, large bomb load, ability to take off and land on simple runways on the front line, good reliability and maintainability, and strong maneuverability.

Later, several companies participated in the bidding, including Fairchild, which developed the YA-10A prototype, which prioritized cost as a design priority according to the requirements of the U.S. Air Force. In addition, its performance orientation is as follows: protection force, anti-armor and anti-surface target attack power, target search ability, short take-off and landing, high dispatch rate and low maintenance cost, convenience of ground support, and convenience of production.

After a comprehensive comparison of 284 flight hours, in January 1973, the U.S. Air Force declared Fairchild's YA-10A the winner.

At the end of 1974, the A-10 was approved for production. The pre-production A-10 made its first test flight in February 1975, the first production aircraft began test flights on October 21, and began equipping the Air Force the same year.

In commemoration of the P-47 "Thunderbolt" fighter designed and produced by the company's predecessor Republic Company during World War II, Fairchild called another masterpiece after the war "Thunderbolt" II. However, judging by its unique appearance, some people are willing to call it a warthog.

Whether it is the F-15 and F-16 that can carry out precision strikes, or the armed helicopter that can seize the superiority of a tree, it cannot effectively deal with the ground troops that use the terrain to cover it, and it cannot even be put into use.

This aircraft was specially designed to attack ground targets, especially tank units, and as long as this force is mobilized, it can delay the opponent's movements.

According to the Soviets' plan, they liked to operate at night, which was exactly what allowed the A-10 to show its might and establish the unshakable status of this aircraft.

That was Nathan's first thought.

Of course, he had more than that, Major Nathan had a lot of ideas, which were well-known throughout the army.

"At the beginning, the Soviets brazenly used tactical nuclear weapons to blow up the towering rocks on the coast as a landing site, so we can also imitate the actions of the Soviets at that time, use tactical nuclear weapons, blow up nearby mountains, fill up valleys, and completely form an encirclement, so that they can't get out."

If you look at it from the sky, you can clearly see that almost all of Hokkaido is mountainous, and it is not easy for the armored forces of the Soviets to charge on such terrain.

At that time, the U.S. military lost, which was really a shame.

Ordinary bombs are not good, they are not powerful enough, tactical nuclear weapons must be used, and now the Soviets occupy the area, and the defense line of the island army here, there are only some small roads in the valley running through the north and south, no matter how the Soviets protect, they will not expect their own use of tactical nuclear weapons.

Just as they can blow up the rocks on the seashore and slide them into a slope, they can blow up the mountains on both sides of the valley and block the valley so that there are no roads to pass through, and as long as their tanks can't get out, all plans won't work.

Thinking of this, Nathan had a smile on his face, yes, just do it!

However, Emily didn't smile: "Nathan, do we have a low-cost solution?" For example, a few CIA agents can do it, or if we find some island people to confess, they will say that they killed the Soviet workers and handed them over to the Soviets, and they will have no reason. ”

Hearing Emily's words, Nathan thought of something, those plans above him had to be approved by Congress, and the president approved, especially the plan to use tactical nuclear weapons, how could his own peace-loving president agree? Even if he loses Hokkaido, he is not willing to do that, he will not rub salt on the wounds of the island people, at the end of World War II, he threw a nuclear bomb on the island country, and now he wants to throw it again, how can he bear it?

Emily's idea is for the CIA to save the situation, but how easy is it?

That's right, the excuse for the Soviets to send troops was to find the criminals and avenge their slain Soviet workers, who used this excuse to wage war on a large scale, even though the Soviet workers had made mistakes and were absolutely not guilty of death.

Criminals in Sapporo! They will rush to Sapporo.

Criminals in Tokyo! They will also rush to Tokyo.

So, now that the CIA has found out the criminals and handed them over to the Soviets, can they turn hostility into peace?

Of course not!

I've taken off my pants, so show me this? The army is ready, it can't say anything, it must act, and when the time comes, even if it tears its face, it will be beaten, and the people have already been prepared.

Emily's idea is a little naïve, she wants the CIA to turn the tide, how is this possible! Historically, the Soviets unanimously agreed to adopt a war plan to invade Afghanistan.

Wait a minute!

Nathan keenly captured the idea, as if, he had a new way!
