Chapter 147 Bush's gift
"His Excellency President, we cannot retreat now, we must send troops quickly." Richard Bruce Cheney said with a serious face: "Now, the situation in Riyadh is very chaotic. The Laden family and the Suleiman family are fighting each other, and the First Armored Division outside the city has also begun to dispatch. Israel has revealed that they have controlled the First Armored Division. Although we have failed in the bombing of Baghdad and have not eliminated Kusai, the Saudi situation can no longer allow us to hesitate."
The news sent back from Riyadh made Bush feel inexplicably that the situation did not develop in the direction they expected.
The information received by the United States was also very limited, because after the rebellion officially began, the US intelligence network operated at full speed. However, during Osama's counter-insurgency, the Americans were arrested, and few of them missed the net. The information they received was not comprehensive. They only knew that when the coup was successful, Osama began to attack the Suleiman brothers.
Americans have always felt that Osama is also a kind of rebellious person. If you support such people to power, will you become as uncontrollable as Kusai in the future? However, only such ruthless people can succeed in the coup. The Suleiman brothers cannot do it at all.
Saudi Arabia is in chaos, but the bombing of Iraq is very unsuccessful.
At most, if he didn't hit the target or hit the target, Kusai escaped by chance, which was the worst possibility. When the news came back, President Bush could not believe it anyway. This was the result: two were shot down!
Didn’t Lockheed’s guys say that this kind of aircraft is completely stealthy? It will not be discovered by the radar of any country? But now, two of them have been shot down!
If another backup plane hadn't been running fast, it would have been dropped. It seems that the Iraqis would have been ready long ago. After their plane entered, they would close the door and beat the dog.
This result shocked them. President Kusai was like a young hero who could not be beaten to death. He could turn danger into safety every time. No, he turned passive into initiative. Such a result made it difficult for them to accept.
Until now, even they themselves don’t know how Iraq shot down its own aircraft, because such aircraft are also stealthy on their own radar. Therefore, every time the aircraft takes off and lands, in order to be discovered by the radar, it is necessary to deliberately turn on a device that specifically adds radar reflection waves to be discovered.
The Americans' advanced technology did not gain any advantage in Iraq, which is a huge irony for them. Countless technicians began to analyze this matter and discuss whether the stealth aircraft that the United States will develop in the future is necessary.
The wreckage of the two planes was also used to think that the agents hidden in Iraq needed to find the wreckage of the planes and carry out sabotage operations. They also began to adjust the orbit of the reconnaissance satellites. After dawn, multiple reconnaissance satellites will conduct reconnaissance on that area and look for the wreckage of the planes.
The focus of the problem is still on whether the United States needs to send troops immediately.
What made Cheney anxious was that President Bush began to waver in this matter.
In the original plan, at the invitation of the new Saudi government, the United States sent troops to Riyadh and stationed troops in Saudi Arabia. This makes sense in theory.
But now, Riyadh is in a mess, the announcement of the new government has not been released yet, and the United States has not recognized the new government. How can the United States send troops now?
If the United States sends troops, it will be untenable internationally and will be considered an act of aggression!
Cheney may not care about international influence, but Bush cannot. This incident, the United States has not obtained any favorable excuses so far.
After all, Saudi Arabia is a sovereign state. The United States can engage in any conspiracy, instigate domestic rebellion, or even secretly bomb Baghdad. However, these are tricks created behind the scenes and cannot be put on the surface. Now, if the United States sends troops, it will be another situation.
So Bush was shaken.
Bush is now considering more about how to deal with the bombing of Baghdad.
After all, if Iraq publicizes the international outcry of the US bombing of Baghdad, the Americans will not have a good reputation. However, the Iraqis just took off the planes and came. If the wreckage of those planes were not found or all turned into pieces, the United States would refuse to admit it.
...
The sky in the desert gradually became brighter.
Several Black Hawk helicopters were hovering over the desert, looking for a legendary black plane.
According to the final trajectory discovered by the Mibo radar, the crashed plane should have landed in this area, so they need to conduct a carpet search of this area, hoping to find the wreckage of the plane.
It is very difficult to find the plane in the endless desert, but they must be fast, because the wind in the desert is constantly blowing. If it cannot be discovered within a few days, the wind and sand will bury the wreckage of the crashed fighter plane. At that time, it may not be found.
In addition to the helicopters in the sky, a marina on the ground is also conducting a dragnet search. Although there are already a lot of people using, there are still too few people compared to the vast desert.
The tires of the Desert Leopard Infantry Combat Vehicle kept stirring the yellow sand behind him, sweeping past the dunes like sandstorms.
On the turret on the top, the commander was using a telescope and searching constantly.
Suddenly, a soldier discovered that there was something special in the sand dune in the distance. Although it did not match the shape of the plane given by his superiors, it was definitely not something that should be found in the desert.
"Go ahead to the left and let's go and take a look!" said the commander.
As we get closer, that thing seems to be a V-shaped machine, you can also see two square things. In short, this must not be what was originally found in the desert.
Several infantry fighting vehicles were advancing towards that place, and they were a little excited.
Finally, the desert leopard stopped, and the soldiers jumped out of the infantry fighting chariot, and could see that guy, who fell from the sky and plunged into it.
I wonder how many more are inside the dunes?
The soldiers dug a few times with shovels, but they always felt that there was still a long inside and it seemed like they could not be dug. However, you can already see that the thick landing gear below was the wheel on the side of the main landing gear.
"Use our car and pull it out!" said a platoon leader.
The thick rope was tied to the landing gears on both sides, and then the two infantry fighting vehicles started to drive their horsepower. As black smoke kept coming out of the engine exhaust port, the wheels kept spinning in the sand, but the plane did not move at all.
The F-117 has more than 20 tons, and sand is covered with great resistance. If the landing gear is not strong and powerful, it would have been pulled out of other places.
At this moment, several Iraqi-made T-72 tanks arrived behind.
The T-72 tank took over the work of the Desert Leopard, and two tanks were connected in series and pulled a landing gear together. The engines of the four tanks roared together. This was a 1,500-horsepower engine, which was much more powerful than the Desert Leopard's horsepower, and the effect of the tracks on the desert was higher than that of the wheeled ones.
Finally, the big black thing inside slowly shaking and shaking, and the sand on it was constantly shaken. Then, the plane inside finally slowly emerged from the yellow sand.
Once it is dragged, it will be much easier. The tank engine obviously feels relaxed, and a gust of air is finally in front of them.
This is simply an alien plane! Looking at the style of a fighter plane that is completely different from Iraq, everyone present exclaimed. If it weren't for seeing it with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe it was an American plane!
The glass-shaped windshields in front are still intact, but there is already a dry red color on the glass directly in front.
There is a person inside, but he is already a dead person.
The plane was dragged out, and before they started to take action, the above order came down and hid!
Suddenly, they took out a camouflage net from the armored vehicle and covered their car body. From the sky, they looked the same color as the desert.
The plane that had just taken off was also covered with a large camouflage net.
Arab Space Company has been working hard to develop new rockets. At the same time, their satellite measurement and control network is also very complete, and can monitor satellites above their heads. These satellites, including not only the eight reconnaissance satellites of Iraq and the satellites of navigation projects jointly carried out with the Soviet Union, but also the satellites of other countries. For example, those reconnaissance satellites from the United States are their focus.
Now, a satellite is flying over their heads.
It is relatively easy to deceive satellite reconnaissance. In later generations, Saddam's army could deceive the satellites in the sky by setting a few fake targets in the desert. However, it is not easy to deceive the plane. Even if the infantry fighting vehicle is buried in the sand, the infrared rays emitted by the vehicle body can still be detected by the planes in the sky and cause attacks.
The camouflage net used by the Iraqi army is not only simple visual invisibility, but also reduces the release of infrared rays and prevents it from being discovered by infrared devices.
The news came back to Baghdad, and Kusai showed a smile he had never seen before.
The harvest this time was good. The crashed wreckage was discovered before dawn. They collected the wreckage as if they had picked up treasures, hoping to have a great purpose in the development of their own military aircraft. This was already very good. Unexpectedly, another F-117 was left to Iraq intact?
Chapter completed!
