Chapter Five Hundred and Tenth Divert People's Attention
In the United States, the smoke of gunpowder is getting worse at this time.
The U.S. government actually cooperated with terrorists to deliver weapons to the shameful Iran. This news is a bombshell that completely hit the Reagan administration's prestige and even more important than Carter's slow response to the embassy incident.
Because the United States will never cooperate with terrorists! The United States has absolutely no reason to send weapons to Iran, which has exceeded the bottom line of the American people.
The opposition Democrats seized this opportunity and made a big splash that the image of the Reagan administration in the hearts of the people was falling sharply, which would seriously affect Reagan's next presidential election.
"Can anyone tell me why!" Reagan, who has always been humorous and funny, was more important than not controlling his inner anger and began to roar: "It was originally just Israel's delivery of weapons to Iran, but they were careless and had nothing to do with us. Why has it become our responsibility now!"
Reagan was very annoyed. Now things have completely lost their control. Moreover, even if Israel has admitted that they did it, the people still do not believe in the truth, but instead believe in this false gossip!
The bad thing that the damn Jews did! Reagan cursed in his heart.
As the director of the CIA in charge of the intelligence department, Casey is also very depressed. In the United States where there is free speech, they have no choice but to face public opinion.
"George, didn't you say that as long as Israel acknowledges this, we'll be fine?" Reagan asked.
If George didn't know that the person on the other side was the president, he really wanted to leave. George did not expect the current situation, especially the Democratic Party's reaction. They would really seize the opportunity and build momentum for themselves.
However, George vaguely felt that this was not simple, and it was very likely that something he had not seen was happening quietly.
Is it someone who is adding fuel to it and then trying to gain benefits? If so, the most likely one is the Democratic Party, who attempts to re-election the White House, will also engage in such a silent battle in secret in the seemingly decent election.
In addition, even George didn't expect anyone else to do this. Those guys in the Middle East? They don't seem to have much need to do such things, right?
The Israeli Prime Minister has gone down. Will the top American officials also fall? Who will benefit?
"We must find a way to get rid of this crisis now," said Vice President Bush. "We have all underestimated the impact of public opinion on the delivery of weapons to Iran. Now we must find ways to remedy it. Otherwise, our government's prestige will drop to the lowest point in history."
Remedy? How to remedy? This matter has nothing to do with the United States. The United States just wants people with Saudi Arabia. Now, they don’t even care about people and ships. They want to let all the American Jews who cause trouble for them stay in Saudi prisons for the rest of their lives. They are thinking about how to get rid of the current situation, which is the most important thing.
"Yesterday afternoon, an Iranian Airlines passenger plane flew in the Persian Gulf." At this time, Weinberg, who had not spoken, spoke.
Iran Airlines' passenger planes are on the verge of a trek. What does this have to do with us? Others thought.
Only Bush's eyes lit up: "Continue talking."
"At that time, there happened to be an Iraqi fighter jet cruising. Yes, it was the latest Phantom 4000 developed by France, known as the world's most advanced heavy fighter jet." Speaking of this, Weinberg's words still showed a contemptuous voice: "The Iraqi pilot thought it was an Iranian fighter jet and was preparing to attack Daman Port. However, at the last moment, the Iraqi pilot did not launch missiles, but observed it, and found that it was a civil aviation passenger plane."
Weinberg had finished speaking, but others still didn't understand. Even the annoyed President Reagan asked: "Weinberg, do you say Iraq almost hit Iran's civil aviation aircraft. What does this have to do with us?"
"If Iran's civil aircraft is shot down, what will happen to Iran?"
"It was shot down and it was the Iranian civil aviation department who ran to the United Nations to file a lawsuit. They did so many things, but the United Nations would not pay attention to him and eventually left it alone." George said.
"What if it's from other countries?"
"The problem is very serious," said White House Chief of Staff Toms. "Missing attacks on civil aviation passenger planes is a very serious incident. If our country's passenger plane is shot down, all our people will oppose it enthusiastically."
After saying that, Toms suddenly shuddered: "Weinberg, you don't really want to do that, right? That's a crime against the American people!"
"Of course I won't do that. If our American airliner is shot down by the enemy, we will definitely throw the nuclear bomb on his head without hesitation." Weinberg said: "Mr. President, the problem we are facing is very serious. If we want to get rid of our current predicament, we must try to divert the attention of the people."
After saying these words from Weinberg, everyone was stunned. They knew that Weinberg had always advocated force, and what idea did he come up with this time?
"Now, although we have proposed the Star Wars plan, the Soviets seem to be not very enthusiastic. Their leader Andropov is very different from Brezhnev. No matter who becomes the leader of the United States, the Soviet Union is always our biggest threat." Weinberg said: "If the Soviet Union transforms, then we will face a greater threat. Therefore, we must nihilate the development of the Soviet Union in the bud and make the whole world oppose the Soviet Union."
Containing the Soviet Union was the top priority of every US government, and Weinberg did not need to describe it in detail.
"We are modifying a passenger aircraft from the South Korean Civil Aviation Company. It is loaded with some electronic equipment. We need to conduct a test on the air defense alarm network in the Far East of the Soviet Union." Weinberg said: "The Soviet Union improved the air defense early warning network last year, and they have already deployed an intercontinental missile launch silo in the northern part of Sakhalin Island. We wanted to conduct a reconnaissance test flight a long time ago, but we have not found an opportunity. If we use civil aviation passenger aircraft, then our pressure will be much less."
Speaking of much less pressure, they all knew that Weinberg was a pun.
Using civil aviation passenger planes to test the opponent's air defense system will not be considered an act of invading the opponent's airspace like using reconnaissance aircraft, because civil aviation passenger planes are trekking! In this regard, even Iraq, which is currently in war, did not dare to directly shoot down Iran's passenger planes. Although the United States and the Soviet Union were even more afraid to shoot down the opponent's airplane during the Cold War, they were not using American passenger planes this time, but from South Korea.
It is best if the mission can be successfully completed. If it cannot, then the Soviet Union discovered that it was a civil aviation passenger plane that invaded the airspace, and then it would maintain a certain degree of restraint. At most, just like the Iraqi Air Force, it would guide the passenger plane back to the normal channel again.
If the Soviet Union did not remain rational and chose to shoot down this civil aviation passenger plane, then if the passenger plane was shot down by the Soviet Union, how strong would the world respond?
Reagan knew that the world's attention would definitely not be spent on transporting arms to Iran anymore. They would definitely report more sensational things, that is, the Red Empire shot down the civil aviation passenger plane indiscriminately!
In this way, the crisis in the United States will be relieved immediately, and they can also play the role of justice, making the emotions of the American people who are disgusted with the Soviet Union excited again and vent their power to the Red Empire!
At that time, who will still care about the current incident?
This is a very good method, but everyone didn't say anything after listening to Weinberg's words.
Because this method is a bit too despicable!
For their own interests, the people who actually kidnapped the entire passenger plane. Is it worth doing this? If the people knew the truth, their fate would be even worse than Begin.
However, this idea is really tempting, because when internal conflicts are fierce, the enthusiasm of the people needs a catharsis. Instead of letting them consume in dissatisfaction with the government, it is better to guide them to their disgust towards the Red Empire.
Reagan lit a cigar and took a sip.
The entire conference room was very quiet, with only the tables on the wall walking tickingly.
"Why choose a Korean Airline passenger plane?" Reagan asked.
"Because they had already had an experience of mistakenly entering Soviet airspace," Weinberg said.
In 1978, a Boeing 707 aircraft from Korean Air was hit by a Soviet missile and was finally forced to land on a snow-covered lake in Karelia in northwestern Soviet Union.
The Boeing 707 passenger plane flew from Paris, France to Anchorage, passing through the Arctic Islands of the United Kingdom, Iceland's east coast, Greenland and Canada. The plane had 97 passengers from six countries, including 26 women and 5 children. There were 2 pilots and 1 pilot.
After flying for 7 hours, the black box recorded a classic set of conversations.
The captain asked the navigator: "Where have we flew?"
"Greenland."
But a few minutes later, the navigator shouted: "I saw a military plane."
“What is the airplane logo?”
"Red Five Stars."
"Soviet! So we deviated from the route!"
Then, the passenger plane was fired by the Su-15 fighter that came to intercept, and fired a wing of the passenger plane. The superb captain finally forced the passenger plane to land on the lake.
Finally, the inspection found that the passenger plane pilot did not connect the compass with the autopilot. At Oly Airport, the pilot was told that there was something wrong with the compass. Therefore, when he found that the heading angle was strangely enlarged, he adjusted the angle of the compass with his hand. The autopilot programmatically restored the original angle, which led to the dynamism of the aircraft.
Jershatkov, who is in charge of the investigation, published an investigation report saying: "We have not found any secret reasons of reconnaissance nature. The South Korean Boeing 707 passenger plane is an ordinary civil aviation passenger plane." (To be continued)
