Chapter 404: Bad Plan
Although it is called the Vietnam Veterans Foundation, scenes like the ones Nathan wrote about in the first drop of blood are actually not seen in reality.
You must know that special forces operations, that must have a perfect plan, a precise plan of action, plus a little bit of luck, take the delta as an example, under the development of later generations, there are already thousands of personnel, but there are only more than 200 combatants, and all the rest are support detachments.
As for now, in the early days of development, their formation was not suitable, and they lacked experience with special operations, so in the first years, the success rate of their operations was not high, and their first battle, this damned hostage rescue operation, they had quite a tragic lesson.
On the whole, the Americans have almost nothing to do, and the "Bay of Pigs" in the late 50s, the "Eagle Claw" in the 80s, and the Black Hawk Fall in the 90s can be called the three major shames of the US special operation.
Therefore, even if it is a professional Delta Force soldier, their actions are very risky, not to mention those veterans who have come down from the battlefield in Vietnam, although Nathan's statement is the spontaneous action of a group of Vietnam War veterans, but this operation, must be dominated by Delta Force fighters.
They need to retire first and participate in this operation as individuals, and after that, they can regain their status and their ranks will definitely be promoted.
This is in the case of smoothness.
Having said that, the army still has to take a lot of risks, and the personnel can be said to be decommissioned, but what about the weapons and equipment? What about the tools that respond?
After all, this is to rescue dozens of hostages, not a few.
How can these people be withdrawn?
Relying on special forces, it is easy to infiltrate, and it is not so simple to rescue the hostages safely, so it is necessary to have a careful plan.
At the same time, it is definitely not something that a group of special forces can do, it will inevitably involve the cooperation between the services, and it will involve the mobilization of various heavy equipment, so to speak, even in the name of Vietnam veterans, they still have to carry dangers, especially the person in charge of this mission, the current General Rozhersky, the burden on his shoulders is even heavier.
He is still equivalent to violating the principles of the military, and now, it depends on how bold he is.
The army can't interfere in politics, but if the army doesn't move, relying on a weak president, he can solve it, and God doesn't believe it.
"If that's the case, we can move on to the next step." Since Rodesky is the backing of the special forces, he naturally has the courage, and now, Rodesky's eyes are shining: "Nathan, what other good ideas do you have?" ”
"If you can agree with me, I would like to hear what the battle plan of our Delta Force is, of course, if it is not against your wishes."
Nathan is a Navy pilot after all, and now to get involved in this kind of operation, it is definitely out of bounds, if the other party is not welcome, then Nathan will definitely not force it, just like now.
"Nathan, come over here, Beckweis, and tell me about our battle plan." Rojesky took Nathan to the other side of the room, and at this time, there was already a large-scale sand table model, which belonged to the entire BS country.
Beckweis, the commander-in-chief of the Delta Force when it was first formed, and now, after two years of training, they have also ushered in their first severe test, and they must succeed.
So, in the past few days, they have quickly conceived a plan of action.
"Okay, then let's recount the whole plan again." Beckwells was clearly aware of this, and he used his baton to point to a place.
"Since our Sea Stallion helicopters do not have enough range to fly directly from the aircraft carrier to the capital of the BS country, we need to set up a foothold in the desert no man's land in the middle of the BS, codenamed 'Desert one'."
Just speaking of this, Nathan knew that the army's plan was no different from that of history.
"During the night, the Air Force will send C-130 transport planes to fly into the BS from south to north, landing there with aviation fuel and waiting for eight RH-53D heavy helicopters to take off from the aircraft carrier. The eight helicopters will also land at Desert one later, joining up with the C-130s that arrived earlier. The helicopter will refuel and then prepare for the next move. ”
The average helicopter has a range of several hundred kilometers, and the current capital of the BS country is thousands of kilometers away from the coastline, which is the biggest problem.
In the early hours of the morning, the helicopter continued north towards its next destination. This location is also named 'Desert to' and it is already very close to the capital. Random Delta force members will spend the day quietly here, waiting for night to fall, and the helicopters will find a secluded place to hide. ”
By the time he got to this place, Nathan had already begun to shake his head, let alone the rest of the story.
Of course, Nathan knows about the deployment later, and then, it will be time for the agents in the BS territory, together with the Delta Force, to ride in a vehicle, and after approaching the US Embassy in BS, they will launch a surprise attack, subdue the security and guards of the BS, and then quickly find the hostages, gather them and organize them, and together with the commandos, drive to a large stadium nearby.
Then, the helicopter flew over and rescued all the hostages, and at the same time, they flew by helicopter, not directly to the sea, but to the air base near them, and the large transport plane C-141 would suddenly land at this base, and take control of the air base, and then the large helicopter flew here, and returned with the transport plane.
The whole rescue process is extremely verbose, including the close cooperation of the Air Force, the Navy, and the Army Special Forces, and as long as there is a problem in one link, the rescue operation will fail, and in history, this rescue failed at the first node.
However, even if they don't fail on the first node, they can't all go well on the later, so many nodes, which is an extremely bad plan.
"Major Nathan, it seems that you don't agree with this plan?" Seeing Nathan shaking his head, Rojesky couldn't help but ask.
Emily in the back also frowned, from the perspective of a CIA agent, this plan is too long-winded, too complicated, such a plan, they can actually come up with it?
"Yes, please forgive my rudeness, this plan is not going to succeed." "It was a terrible plan," Nathan said. ”
