Chapter 363 The United States is Blackmailed

"President, we're in trouble. CIA Director William Casey said to President Reagan.

"Is it a hostage problem?" President Reagan said.

"Yes." Casey said with great concern: "When our reconnaissance satellite took pictures of Tabriz again this morning, we found that the convoy carrying our hostages suddenly disappeared."

The United States has always been paying attention to hostages. Although it is necessary to let hostages go on the road to Turkey, the US reconnaissance satellites have adjusted their orbits. Every two hours, a satellite will pass over the top and take high-definition and accurate photos to find out whether their walking process is going smoothly.

However, unexpectedly, just as the hostages were about to arrive in Tabriz, a situation occurred, and the convoy suddenly disappeared!

After being attacked, the hostages quickly left the battlefield under the protection of Kazar and members of the special forces. The Iranians who followed them completely cleared the battlefield. The convoys had been blown up and naturally disappeared.

"Contact McFarlane now," Reagan said.

"I've been in touch for a long time, and I've never been able to contact you." Casey said.

Reagan knew that this time, where did those hostages go? Does Khomeini want to take another trick of hostages falling into the hands of terrorists?

Reagan clenched his fists: "What's the news on Iran?"

"They urged us to hand over the weapons to them in advance before we could release the hostages," said Casey.

A group of guys who are untrustworthy and go back on their word! Reagan knew that this time was the most urgent moment. The hostages were at the airport, and at least they were still there. Now, the hostages are missing. Who knows how many weapons will Khomeini extort before he will release the hostage?

All of this is naturally a trap of Khomeini, but unfortunately, Reagan felt that he had woken up until now. This problem seemed to be endless.

"The CIA takes immediate emergency action and must figure out where the hostages are located. Our military must come up with a plan to rescue hostages at any time and leave the Persian Gulf with the cargo ship transporting weapons." Reagan said.

Now, the hostages are only a few hundred kilometers away from the Turkish border, and the military dispatches personnel. The difficulty of rescue should be less. As for those weapons, they must not be handed over to Khomeini! If he is given this batch of weapons, there will be another batch. When will the United States be threatened so much?

"His Excellency President, the ambassador of Israel seeks his visit." At this time, the secretary outside called in and said. [Xiami Literature]

Israel Ambassador? Intuitively.//Reagan knew it was related to this incident.

"You go back first. Be sure to find out where the hostage is as soon as possible." Reagan said.

Casey walked out and the Israeli ambassador walked in.

Israel has always been a die-hard ally of the United States, and because of the Jewish power in the United States, Israel's ambassador to the United States can meet with the president at any time. This time, he came for this emergency between the United States and Iran.

"Mr. President, there has been a new situation in your hostage incident in Iran." Ambassador Villerner said.

"Is that right? What happened?" Reagan asked. So far, the information he received was only provided by Casey's CIA, and Israel has been helping the dialogue between the United States and Iran, so the information they received should be first-hand information.

"Iran demands that your country must first hand over the weapons to them before it will release the hostages," said Villerner.

As expected, the Iranians hid the hostages again. What excuses would Khomeini make up this time?

"Why? We have all discussed the specific way to replace hostages." Reagan said: "Is Khomeini doing this challenging our American bottom line?"

"This is not very clear," said Villerner. "But they are very determined and they must ask the United States to release hostages first."

Villerner was very embarrassed because it was very in line with Israel's interests for the progress and development of the US-Iran relations. The United States handed over arms to Iran, which made Israel even more ecstatic. They were trying their best to promote these transactions, but unexpectedly, Iran's Khomeini was definitely not a good role to play.

The last time the United States was put on, it was not enough. This time the United States transported more arms, and even Israel knew very well that Iran wanted to continue playing tricks and playing with Americans this time, but is the United States so willing to be deceived?

However, Iran seized the American fatal point: expose this matter!

"We will never agree to this," Reagan said. "We will not compromise on this matter."

Wilner knew that President Reagan would definitely say this, and he also knew that when he said the next words, President Reagan would definitely be furious. As a microphone, he was very reluctant to say these words, but as a mediator, he had to convey these words.

"Mr. President, Iran must ask for this, otherwise they will disclose the inside story of the United States' use of weapons to replace hostages in the news." Villerner said, speaking slowly, watching President Reagan's reaction.

Unexpectedly, President Reagan was surprisingly calm. He said lightly: "I know, but we will never do this. Please tell the Iranians and let them wait and bear the anger of the United States!"

Villerner knew that Reagan was giving his face, and he said, "We will try our best to mediate, and I hope Khomeini will not take the risk."

Watching Villerner walk out, Reagan suppressed his anger and conveyed to the secretary the decision to hold an emergency meeting immediately.

Looking at his think tank, Reagan stated these two major events, and everyone responded inconsistently.

Poindext was very guilty of himself. The decision to replace hostages with weapons and balance the situation of the Iran-Iraq war was made under his strong instigation. Now this fact proves that he is very wrong. Iran's Khomeini is simply using the United States and has no sincerity.

But the hardliner Weinberg did not speak, but his sneering look made everyone unable to stand it. If he had taken the action of rescuing the hostages as he advocated, then nothing would have happened.

Everyone knew that if he spoke, it would definitely be a large-scale air strike against Iran, giving Iran a lesson that will never be forgotten!

But what should I do if the hostages are replaced? What if the incident of replacing the hostages with weapons is disclosed?

If this matter is really exposed, then everyone will probably have to step down now.

This will definitely be a political scandal that angers the public!

Although if this matter is exposed, the whole world will know that Iran supports hijacking elements, then Iran will be in a bad reputation internationally and the whole world will unite to sanction him. However, the key issue is that Iran has now been vilified by the West to become an embodiment of evil. If one more support hijacking element or even organizes hijacking itself, Iran doesn't care at all. Anyway, since Khomeini came to power, the West has terminated its relations with Iran, but Iran will still stay well. If it is promoted, they will be in great danger. Compromise with an evil country like Iran and use the method of exporting weapons to exchange for hostages. How incompetent the US government is! Reagan's fate is definitely worse than Carter.

"If we do not export weapons to Iran, then Khomeini will definitely expose this matter. They can do this. However, if we export weapons, we may not be able to exchange them for hostages. We will be threatened by the Iranians again. They will never be satisfied. Moreover, the more we send, the greater the threat to us if things are exposed." Bush said: "If we dispatch troops to bomb Iran, then all the hostages will probably disappear and our threat will be greater."

Bush said all the situations, and this situation seemed to be unsolvable.

"I think things can still be saved." Secretary of State George said slowly: "It is very top secret that we export weapons to Iran. So far, no news has been heard. If Iran clamors again, we should deny it, and Iraq will not make any noise. Iran's exposure lacks evidence."

The imported parts and other weapons for Iran were all some fighter plane accessories and other weapons. Iran had already equipped them before. He said that it was exchanged with the United States for hostages. Where is the evidence?

Iraq definitely knows that the mortal birds sold to Iran have been used in air combat, and Iraq may speculate on the situation.

As long as Iraq denies it, then this matter can be hidden from the truth. Who in the Western countries will believe Khomeini's words?

Doing so requires only to keep Iraq silent. However, if Khomeini disclosed this, Iraq would definitely realize suddenly. Will they speak for themselves?

"We sell weapons to Iran, which is very unfavorable to Iraq. Will they remain silent?" Reagan asked.

"As long as we have enough interests to Iraq, they should agree," George said. "Especially the Excellency Kusai, as long as we can persuade him, his status in Iraq is very high and can be completely covered up for us."

That young man from Iraq, Reagan, knew that he had rejected some of the requests he made last time, and he had enough benefits. Should he provide him with the engine production line and the fire-control radar production line? This is a bit too high, right?

"And, due to the Iran-Iraq War, there must be a large number of intelligence personnel in Iran. Our people are not doing well in the Middle East. We can also let Iraq help find our hostages. As long as we can successfully rescue the hostages, this crisis will be completely resolved!" George said.

Now all the problems revolve around the hostages. As long as the hostages are rescued, all problems will no longer be problems.

"You can contact Iraq and see how they react," said President Reagan.
