Chapter 372 The Attitude of the United States

"Keep downward line, lower the slope, fall, and then descend!" An F-14 was commanding another F-14 next to him to land.

John's eyes were blurred, and he looked at the narrow deck and felt an inexplicable fear.

The biggest risk to become a carrier-based aviation company is the aircraft carrier deck that is only the size of a basketball court.

The total length is more than 300 meters. The first half is the take-off area and the second half is the landing area. Take-off is not a difficult task for a US aircraft carrier that takes off by catapulting, because the catapult of the aircraft carrier has fixed the route of the aircraft. If it takes off by ski jumping, a sudden crosswind will have catastrophic consequences.

Compared to taking off, landing is even more difficult. Looking at the aircraft carrier, it is actually very narrow. The runway of the roadbed fighter is at least a few hundred meters or even thousands of meters long, while the aircraft carrier is only 300 meters, and the landing area is only more than one hundred meters.

What's even more troublesome is that the aircraft carrier is not fixed. It will shake constantly with the waves. Every time it lands, it is a speed of life and death.

When fighter jets land at land airports, their speeds are getting smaller and smaller. Finally, they stop, and when landing on aircraft carriers, they do not slow down, but accelerate.

The deceleration depends on the blocking hook at the rear of the aircraft, which hangs one of the three blocking cables in the landing area, and uses hydraulic cylinders on both sides to provide buffering to pull the aircraft. The entire landing process is actually the aircraft smashing on the aircraft carrier deck, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Therefore, the navy's aircraft have always been stronger than the land, and all key places, the main landing gear and beams have been strengthened.

The navy's pilots are also the best among the entire aviation force.

But at this time, all the personnel on the aircraft carrier were worried about the unlucky pilot.

"Chi..." The landing gear on the left finally hit the deck, and the huge hydraulic shock absorber almost bottomed out, offsetting a large part of the force, and the other leg finally fell on the deck.

Just as John was about to relieve his mood, he heard a shout from his headphones: "Didn't hang up the blocking rope, hurry up, pull up, pull up!"

Without having time to think too much, John immediately pushed the throttle to the bottom, and the tomcat rushed out of the deck again and flew into the sky.

He had to fly again! John tried hard to concentrate, and he knew that he had to save this tens of millions of planes as much as he could.

The White House, the United States.

"Everyone, something happened to our aircraft carrier **." Defense Minister Weinberg said: "Iraq actually dispatched fighter planes and took the initiative to provoke our planes. This is a declaration of war on us!"

That madman Saddam...many people had this idea. Even Weinberg, who had always been very calm, was angry this time.

How could Weinberg not be angry? A pilot with a complex weather at night wasted. After getting on the ship, he got off the plane. The unlucky pilot's clothes were soaked. It is estimated that in his future career, he would only play with propeller planes at most.

Even Saudi Arabia has endured it, and Kuwait has endured it. Iraq is so proactive, using their most advanced MiG-25 interceptors to actively fight against their fighters in the Persian Gulf!

Although American fighter jets often have friction with the Soviet Union, which is inevitable in the Cold War, they cannot tolerate it. Even a small country in the Middle East does not take them seriously!

And now, the American people are feeling inconvenient for living because they have no oil, which can easily become an excuse for declaring war.

This matter is big or small, but how it is treated depends on them.

"Everyone, please read a set of information." CIA Director Casey said, and began to show the slideshow.

"This is a photo taken by our spy satellites." Casey said, pointing to the plane on the ground: "This is the base of the MiG-25 in Iraq, the H-3 Air Force Base (H-3 is Al Walid Air Force Base). We have always wondered why the Iraqis maintained the advanced MiG-25 so well."

Casey magnified the picture indecisively, and finally saw the figures from top to bottom. "We have very reason to believe that the MiG-25 in Iraq was maintained by many Soviet personnel. And even, at the beginning, the MiG-25 in Iraq was flying by Soviet instructors."

Soviet people! This sentence shocked everyone.

Recently, because of the riots of OPEC members and the anger at the price of oil, many Americans are filled with complaints about these oil-producing countries, but they have forgotten that the oil crisis is because of their support for Israel!

Israel, after several emergency resolutions of the United Nations, allowed him to unconditionally ceasefire and still besiege Beirut's countries! The United States, which advocates freedom and democracy, is supporting their allies, trampling on the people of Lebanon, and using force to open up a bloody road for its survival.

President Reagan never spoke, looking at his think tank, what kind of explanation would he say.

"Everyone," said Poindext, assistant to the National Security Affairs. "Our greatest threat is the Soviet Union, so, I think, we should reconsider our policy to Israel, we..." Although he agreed with military operations last time, when he mentioned the Soviet Union this time, his vision suddenly grew higher and he saw the key to the problem.

Before he finished speaking, Weinberg said, "What do you mean is to make our military bow to Iraq? How is this possible! Our US team is not afraid of any country, we are not afraid of the Soviet Union, we are also afraid of a Middle Eastern country!"

"Weinberg, you let him finish his words," Reagan said.

"Saddam of Iraq is a person with a complicated personality. We can't estimate his inner thoughts at all. However, we have also seen that the Soviet Union is also trying to win over him. If we continue like this, then we can only let him turn completely to the Soviet Union. Everyone, this is very inappropriate for our strategy. It's just a few Arab countries, it's fine. If the Soviet Union intervenes, it will be difficult for us to do it."

The Soviet Union is always a powerful threat! The United States' opponent is the Soviet Union! Not Iraq!

"Actually, our relationship with Iraq has improved a lot in the past two years, especially after the emergence of the Kusai young man from Iraq, he signed a large arms sales order with us. Through the order, we can tie him to our chariot. After all, he is still beating Khomeini's ass for us!" Secretary of State George concluded: "From our own interests, this is just an economic struggle. We do not need to dispatch more military aspects. As long as we suspend arms sales to Israel, this crisis will soon pass."

Last time, George didn't advocate sending troops. Sometimes this trick didn't work for those Islamists.

In fact, blindly supporting Israel leads to major economic problems, which is not in the interests of the United States. If you insist on doing your own thing, it will eventually lead to the inclusion of Iraq, which they value very much, into the arms of the Soviet Union, which is even more unworthy.

"Actually, we can win over the young man of Kusai." Vice President George said: "I have studied this guy. After he came to power, he was not very interested in the Soviet Union. On the contrary, under his leadership, he bought our fighter jets, French weapons, and Chinese. For the traditional Soviet Union, he did not buy anything. I guess, as long as we support him, this young man is likely to change Iraq to us. Everyone has seen that Saddam never plays according to common sense and interacts with such a person is very dangerous, and this Kusai is very rational. I think we should approach him and even help him to the position when necessary."

"But," Casey said: "Kusai is obviously more intelligent than Saddam. Will it be a threat to us when we support such a guy? Our CIA intelligence agency in southern Iraq has been hit hard by him so that it is impossible to gain a foothold. A powerful Iraq is not in our interests. I think that the deposed boss Uday is a good candidate for puppets."

"Udai has lost power, and Saddam will not put power on Udai. This idea is unrealistic."

Sometimes, history is always very ironic. Saddam shows his strength. After confronting the United States head-on, the United States changed its attitude in order not to force Iraq to the Soviet Union. As a great leader of an Eastern country said, all imperialism is a paper tiger!

At this time, Zhang Feng had already rushed back to Baghdad from Riyadh. When he learned that his father had made such a move, Zhang Feng's head was getting bigger.

How to say it, Zhang Feng himself feels that now oil-producing countries have joined forces to reduce oil production for Western countries that support Israel. This can be said to be a non-violent non-cooperation movement and is economic.

However, for an old capitalist country like the United States, it is still very consistent with their personality that is stimulated by this time and has some military threats. What Iraq needs to do is to be on guard like Saudi Arabia. If his military aircraft really invades airspace, then shoot him down without hesitation!

However, now that they have not yet entered the airspace of their own country, their fighter planes have come out and expelled them. My father is really fierce in doing things.

The gun shot out the first bird. What kind of reaction will this counterattack cause to the Americans? Zhang Feng knew that he had to explain his thoughts to his father, and that he should also report to his father about the oil embargo.

At this time, the news of the attack of the Rattlesnake special forces was also transmitted back to the Southern Military Region and arrived at Zhang Feng again.

It's really a turbulent time!
