But it's not like that against a madman, and that's the difference.

"First of all, we can ask His Excellency Qusay in Iraq for help." Secretary of State George said: "Iraq has been at war with Iran all the time, and they have very rich experience in hostility. Get out."

When he said the word "request", he paused. It is unimaginable that the mighty United States should ask for help from a small country.

"No, that would be an insult to our army!" Weinberg said.

I have a strong army, but I want to ask the Iraqi army for help. Isn't this an insult?

"That guy Qusay will definitely make all kinds of demands." Bush said, "And, do you think the Iraqis can complete this mission? They can beat the Iranians in the ground war, but this time it's about counter-terrorism." Operations, the Iraqis, are not necessarily better than our military, the only advantage is that Iraq is closer to Iran, we are nearby, and there is no suitable base."

"Then we rent the Iraqi base!" James said.

Reagan looked at his group of think tanks, thinking one after another, but it was not feasible. Do you think Iraq is Saudi Arabia?Even because of the friendly relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States, they do not agree with the use of their bases by the United States, let alone Iraq, which is close to the Soviet Union. Just after Gorbachev of the Soviet Union finished his visit to Iraq, the United States Request to use their base?What an idiot!

"Everyone, first of all, we can use our ally Israel." Poindexter said.

Listed in color?Israel is not adjacent to Iran. If it was still in Beirut, it might be possible to use Israel, but things were progressing too fast at that time, and Israel had just withdrawn from Lebanon and re-entered Lebanon, which would attract international opposition.

"Israel has relations with high-level Iranian officials. We can seek a peaceful solution to the problem." As soon as Poindexter's words came out, the others were startled.

"We cannot compromise with terrorists."

... The Boeing 707 landed accurately at Tehran International Airport. All the navigation lights at the airport had already been turned on, and the airport was under martial law.

Armed personnel of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have surrounded the passenger plane, and they have begun a "confrontation" with the armed personnel.

However, no one took it seriously. Some members of the Revolutionary Guards did not even have bullets loaded in their guns, and some were still standing in open places, not afraid of the hijackers in the plane coming out and shooting him dead.

"Teacher, the passenger plane has arrived at Tehran Airport." Ayatollah said.

Khomeini looked at the dark sky and said lightly: "Be careful, these terrorists have nothing to do with us. We want to confront the terrorists. We can first rescue a few hostages from other countries except the United States, and set an example." .”

Originally, it was hoped that in Beirut, Arafat would be used to resolve this matter. Iran has been operating behind the scenes to obtain benefits. However, there was a problem in the middle, and the news passed to Arafat did not arrive. , Arafat stood on the other side, and the airliner flew back to Tehran.

There is no direct connection between Iran and Arafat. Iran influences Arafat through Syria. Therefore, it is normal for Arafat to have such an attitude this time.

And how to deal with this hostage incident is also a test for Iran, because taking hostages is only a last resort. Their purpose is to coerce the United States to exchange weapons for hostages.

This is playing with fire, and if it is not done well, it will be shot. After all, if Iran wants to gain a foothold in the world, it cannot give people the excuse of supporting terrorists.

Therefore, like the PLO, they also assumed the attitude of preparing to rescue the hostages, so as to establish a positive image. Although, no matter what the facts are, everyone knows that this is a fig leaf to block the mouth of the world.

However, the United States will definitely not have a direct dialogue with Iran. Therefore, Iran now needs to find a middleman to send such a signal to the United States: Iran can help you solve the hostage problem, but if you detain our weapons for several years, you will Should it be shipped to us?

Khomeini is thinking, no matter what means, he has a clear conscience, for Iran, this is what he must do.

O Allah, please forgive this action!

... Uday met a special guest in his most secluded room.

"Are you part of the group that can kill anyone, anywhere?" Uday asked.

"good."

"That is to say, as long as I can provide the other party's whereabouts, your assassination will be foolproof?"

"Yes."

"What if the other party is a high-ranking government official?"

"The higher the status of the other party, the higher our reward."

A joyful expression appeared on Uday's face: "If it really succeeds, I will double your commission."

Chapter 334 Iran Gate?

Alamut Assassin was walking on the streets of Iraq. This time, he acted in person, not only for the benefit of the organization, but also for his own benefit.

It's almost half a year, even if it's very difficult, it doesn't take so long, right?Alamut was very dissatisfied. As the No. [-] person in the organization, he had held the power of the entire organization for too long when the No. [-] person was away, and he finally had a new idea.

Anyway, the two missions are the same now. Assassinating the same person is equivalent to taking on one more mission. He only needs to do it once. He will use his success to determine his new position in the organization. Only number one , then step aside!There is no need for organizations without capable people.

What's more, the number one person in the organization is a woman!If it wasn't for the recommendation of the elders in the organization, how could she be in a high position?This time, we must reorganize the organization!A cold gleam flashed in Alamut's eyes for anyone who did not support him, and he would definitely not keep any of them!

…… The media in the western world has been paying attention to the progress of the hijacking incident. The next day, all major newspapers published Arafat's head: Turning the tide, Chairman Arafat of the PLO personally negotiated with the hijackers!

Speaking of Arafat, everyone is familiar with it. Although the stable supply of oil has been restored, the price is much higher than before. All this is because of the Middle East and Israel's aggression against Lebanon.

Although Arafat's armed forces lacked equipment, they withstood the attack of the Israeli army. Other Arab countries joined forces to oppose the Western world's support for Israel, which led to the oil crisis.

Although in this war, the West is beautifying Israel, saying that they launched the attack as a last resort, Arafat's PLO frequently harassed Israel.However, anyone with a discerning eye would know that this is a naked aggression by Israel.

That old man actually withstood Israel's attack!For Arafat, they only had sympathy, but now, they admire him.

Although some people suspected that the hijacking incident was done by the organization under Arafat, Arafat's actions have declared that this guess was wrong. The dialogue between him and the hijackers has been broadcast by many media. Shows the innocence of the PLO.

The hostages who were hijacked had already boarded a special plane, flew to Frankfurt, and then returned separately.

Therefore, many reporters flocked to Frankfurt Airport, wanting to obtain first-hand information, but unfortunately, the police have sealed off the airport, and the released hostages will describe the specific situation to the police, especially the hijacker's information.

Arafat's actions have won the goodwill of the Western world, especially those countries where the hostages were able to return home. They are even more grateful to Arafat. Even the United States has nothing to do, and they have no good way.

Arafat's international reputation began to grow.

More reporters are still paying attention to the follow-up progress, especially when the passenger plane flew to Tehran, the rescue of the remaining hostages has become even more hopeless.

At this time, they all received news: Tehran is also negotiating with the hijackers, hoping that the hijackers can release the hostages and resolve the matter satisfactorily.

All observers, all reporters, and all personnel were shocked: Iran, Khomeini, that lunatic clamoring to export revolution, actually said that he would also release the hostages?What a big joke.

From the demands of the hijackers, even idiots can infer that the hijackers were either from Palestine or from Iran. Now, Arafat has taken practical actions to prove that the hijackers have nothing to do with him, and Iran has followed suit. Proving that there is no connection with the hijackers, they also want to "rescue" the hostages!

The hostage-taken protagonist, the United States, is only intimidating and has no actual action. However, these two countries that are hostile to the United States are instead helping the United States to solve the incident of their flight being hijacked. What is the truth of the matter?

The most depressing thing is probably the United States. Now, what should they do?

Zhang Feng has been paying close attention to the development of the situation. At the beginning, he did not see the truth of the matter. Now, the situation is becoming clearer, especially when the plane flew to Tehran. What is Khomeini's plan? I guessed [-] points.

On the frontal battlefield, the Iranians were beaten back steadily. They are not without people. Iran has a strong population base and doesn't care about human life at all. They can organize some young soldiers to step on landmines.

However, now that the war has been fought, it has become more and more obvious. At least in the southern military region, Iran has no power to fight back. They lack weapons, and it is impossible to rely solely on manpower.

The most important of these is the Air Force!The Iranian air force, which used to be invincible in the skies of the Middle East, can only fly over important places. Therefore, the initiative on the battlefield has long been firmly in the hands of the Iraqi army.

If Iran wants to continue this war, there is no other way but to re-arm its own weapons, especially the fighter planes of the Air Force, even if only thirty F-14s can be put into battle. will change.

At this time, the Iranians are thinking about how to import weapons parts from the United States and put the fighter planes back into use.
