President Reagan was furious.

"This is naked blackmail! Khomeini is taking hostages and threatening us!" Reagan no longer cared about his identity. As an actor, he was already full of emotions. Under this rage, he lost control of his emotions .

Poindexter was very embarrassed, because it was under his strong persuasion that the think tank finally passed the practice of sending weapons to Iran in exchange for hostages. Give them a hand!

The weapons had already been given to them, but the hostages had only exchanged part of them.

What does Khomeini mean?Then provide him with weapons, and then return the hostages!

Moreover, everyone thought of a terrible possibility: Even if the hostages are replaced, as long as Khomeini's weapons are not enough, he can take new hostages at any time and come to the United States for weapons!

Once this example is opened, there will be endless troubles!

"I think our last approach was a bit inappropriate." Weinberg said: "We must not compromise on terrorist activities. Although there are various possibilities, we made the last decision, but, We have all forgotten one thing, what we are facing is a hooligan!"

In fact, if you look through history, you can find that the biggest hooligan in the world is known to everyone, brutally interferes in the internal affairs of other countries, and uses force to act as the world's police in the world. What's more, this gangster has no real strength to fight against him, but he is just playing a hooligan!

Everyone feels very bad.

Everyone had a look of remorse. Unexpectedly, they, the top people in the most powerful country, were really fooled by a magic stick.

"Your Excellency, let our army dispatch. This time, we must live up to our mission. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Iraq is attacking Iran, they will definitely relax their attention to the hostage incident. We will rescue all the hostages!" Weinberg said.

force!The United States has a strong armed force, and the army armed with taxpayer money is to defend taxpayers, otherwise, they will lose their need for existence.

"Everyone, we must face the situation in Iran with the highest vigilance." Vice President Bush, who has been thinking about it, said.

"Bush, tell me," Reagan said.

"We have realized that when dealing with Khomeini, he never speaks of any credibility. This hostage crisis is a living example. We have taken a wrong step, and this step may lead to We lead into the abyss," Bush said.

"Speak clearly." Reagan said, and he calmed down after hearing this.

"We have already delivered weapons to Iran and returned some hostages. It can be said that we have succeeded in part. We just don't know that Khomeini's appetite is so big. But, I'm afraid, we have no way back. If we stop exchanging weapons for hostages, then even if our special forces dispatched and rescued the remaining hostages, we will still fail. I believe that Khomeini will definitely give us all the content of this transaction. It was disclosed!"

Suddenly, like a bucket of cold water poured on their heads, everyone woke up.

indeed so!

What are they most afraid of?It is the truth of this incident that has been announced to the world!The United States has always been very tough on terrorist actions, but what is happening now is a farce. The weapons were delivered, but all the hostages were not returned!

Khomeini is the enemy of the Americans. If the United States rescues the hostages in this way, it will lead to an unprecedented credibility crisis in the government!In serious cases, it may even lead to the same ending as Carter!

The most hateful thing is that they did this to help Khomeini. Not only did Khomeini not appreciate it, he would stab them in the back!

"Would Khomeini dare to do that?" Poindexter asked.

"I believe that if we don't agree to his request, he will definitely dare. What else is he afraid to do?" Reagan said with a sneer.

"If things come to light, I am willing to bear all the responsibility alone!" Poindexter said.

(In the Iran-Contra incident in later generations, this unlucky guy took all the responsibility and became the protagonist of this incident.) "Now is not the time to talk about these things. What we need now is how to solve the problem." Reagan said.

"It seems that we still have to provide arms to Iran. After all, we have to rescue the hostages first." Secretary of State George said: "At the same time, I suggest that we lower the export restrictions to Iraq. Our previous strategy was problematic. If Khomeini is not defeated, we will not be able to sleep or eat."

"But Saddam Hussein in Iraq was also an ambitious man," Poindexter said.

"We have other means, for example, those Kurds living in Iran." George said.

Chapter 344 Mobile Phone

In the past few days in the Soviet Union, based on Zhang Feng's own feelings, this country is somewhat different from what later generations described.

Because of the highly planned economy, the people's enthusiasm for labor was dispelled, and because of the militarism, the daily necessities were very scarce, and there was even a drought in the country, and the embarrassment of urgently importing food from abroad.

However, now, what he observed, the workers are working in an orderly manner, everything in society is very normal, and no extreme shortage of materials has been found.

All this is due to Andropov.

Although Andropov came to power not long ago, he, who was born in the KGB, is well aware of the contradictions in society and is carrying out a series of reforms to put the country on a normal track. Moreover, the society in the current Soviet Union is still very stable. , People's lives are relatively good, at least in Moscow, more than 90.00% of the households have a TV, which is even more popular than in Iraq.

If Andropov can live a few more years, then the Soviet Union may embark on a healthy and benign development track, and it will not reach the level of later generations.

Zhang Feng was a little emotional.

When he came to this red empire, Zhang Feng suddenly felt that such a country would collapse suddenly in later generations. In fact, there are also many very regrettable things. The most important thing in this world is checks and balances. Without the unipolar world after the Soviet Union, It is full of variables.

If Iraq can rise and cooperate with the great eastern powers, maybe they can stand together in the future world!

As soon as Zhang Feng stepped out of the design bureau, before he stepped into the car, he saw a Soviet staff member who had been following behind him, taking out something bigger than a brick, and holding in one hand the lead wires from it and the Something very similar to a telephone microphone, placed near the ear and talking to the mouth.

Zhang Feng was completely stunned. Looking at the other party's appearance, Zhang Feng knew that that kind of thing couldn't be a mobile phone, right?

Soon after the other party finished speaking, he came over to Zhang Feng and said, "Your Excellency Qusay, after you return to Moscow, Mr. Gorbachev wants to meet you."

Hearing the words translated by Ajielina beside him, Zhang Feng didn't react yet, but just stared blankly at the big thing that person was holding, and said, "What is that thing in your hand?"

The staff of the Soviet Union saw the reaction of the famous His Excellency Qusay, who had never seen the world. Before he could speak, Kartsev who came from behind had already taken the thing from him and handed it over to him. He gave it to Zhang Feng and said, "This is the mobile communication product of our great Soviet Union, Altai."

Seeing Qusay's expression, Adelina also felt a little inappropriate. She had seen this kind of thing in the Soviet Union, but it seemed that this Qusay Lord really hadn't seen it, and he was so interested.

Mobile communication products?Zhang Feng was even more surprised when he heard the word translated by Agelina. When talking about mobile communication, shouldn't it be Motorola?

Kartsev was very excited and began to explain to Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng gradually understood that later generations were indeed misled a lot. This kind of mobile phone is a must-have or even a few in later generations. Speaking of ancestors, it should be the Soviet Union!

The electronic technology of the Soviet Union is not as bad as the outside world advertises, and the same is true for computers and networks.

In 1957, the outstanding Soviet engineer Leonid Kuprijanovich invented the ЛК-1 mobile phone.You can make calls to any place in the city, and you can connect to any landline.It's just that his invention is very expensive and has not been popularized.

The main difference between a mobile phone and a radio walkie-talkie is that it needs to be connected to the local telephone network, and the mobile phone can be used to directly dial the fixed line, while ensuring that the call is clear.

With the efforts of Soviet scientific and technological personnel, the "Altai-AC" system was launched in the early 60s. A zhōngyāng base station was set up in a large city with a working radius of 60 kilometers and a frequency of 150 MHz to provide 6 wireless channels. 8 transmitters can serve 800 users, and the antenna system is installed on the top of a high-rise building to ensure the quality of calls within a range of tens of kilometers.In the range of 40-60 kilometers outside the suburbs of the city, there are enough peripheral relay stations installed along the roads, but due to system defects, it is still not possible to cover all lines between cities. (This principle is already very similar to modern mobile phones, but the signal at that time was still an analog signal, and the communication capacity was small.) After entering the 70s, the "Altai" system has achieved great development. The upgraded system uses 330 MHz frequency The new channel has a total of 22 transmitters and 8 channels, and the coverage is greatly enhanced, which can ensure that more users can communicate at the same time.By the mid-70s, the "Altai" system had been promoted and operated in 114 cities in the Soviet Union.

On the eve of the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games, the "Altai" system underwent another large-scale modernization and upgrade, which contributed to the success of the Olympic Games.

However, although this system has covered most cities in the Soviet Union, because the price is still high, and, due to channel restrictions, the number of telephones that can be accommodated is limited, and it is only used by government agencies and some large enterprises, and most of them are rented.

This is also normal. In later generations, until the 90s, wireless phones were also a luxury for the rich, and ordinary people could not afford such expenses.

Since Zhang Feng's visit was very important to the Soviet side, a mobile phone of this kind was arranged among the Soviet personnel accompanying him.

Zhang Feng had such an idea in his mind, first introduce this kind of thing to Iraq, and then let his own factory in Europe produced by Princess Faisal, if he can occupy the global market, even if it is just a rival to Motorola, That's a pretty big profit too!

You know, in later generations, almost everyone has a mobile phone, and after the initial networking is completed by the mobile phone company, the profits in the later period will be huge.

The highly planned economy of the Soviet Union has no vitality. Instead of crushing other companies in later generations, it is better to let yourself carry them forward!
