Reagan was very annoyed. The current situation has completely lost their control. Moreover, even though Israel has admitted that they did it, the people still don't believe the truth, but believe this unwarranted gossip!

What a bloody jewish mess!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 speech is free, they have nothing to do in the face of public opinion.

"George, didn't you say that as long as Israel admits this, we will be fine?" Reagan asked.

If he didn't know that the person opposite was the president, George really wanted to leave in a huff. Regarding the current situation, George did not expect it, especially the reaction of the mínzhǔ party. They would really seize the opportunity to build momentum for themselves.

However, George faintly felt that it was not simple, and there might be something quietly happening that he hadn't seen.

Is someone fueling the flames and trying to gain benefits?If there is, the most likely one is the mínzhǔ party. They are trying to win the White House again, and they will also carry out this kind of silent fighting in secret in the seemingly decent election.

Besides, even George couldn't think of anyone else who would do it, those guys in the Middle East?They don't seem to have much need to do this kind of thing, do they?

The prime minister of Israel has gone down. Will the top American leaders also fall down?In this case, who benefits?

"We must now find a way to get rid of this crisis." Vice President Bush said: "We all underestimated the impact of public opinion on sending weapons to Iran. Now we must find a way to remedy it. Otherwise, our zèngfǔ Its prestige will drop to an all-time low."

remedy?How to remedy?This matter has nothing to do with the United States at all, the United States is only with Saudi VIPs, but now, they don't even care about people and ships, they can't wait to let all the American Jews who caused trouble for them stay in Saudi prisons Forget it forever.They are thinking about how to get out of the current situation, which is the most important thing.

"Yesterday afternoon, in the Persian Gulf, an Iran Air passenger plane got lost." At this time, Weinberg, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

The Iran Air plane got lost, what does that have to do with us?Others thought.

Only Bush's eyes lit up: "Keep talking."

"At that time, there happened to be an Iraqi fighter jet cruising, yes, it was the Mirage 4000 newly developed by France, known as the most advanced heavy fighter jet in the world." Speaking of this, Weinberg still revealed a contemptuous voice in his words: " The Iraqi pilot thought it was an Iranian fighter plane and was about to attack Dammam port, but at the last moment, the Iraqi pilot did not launch a missile, but observed closely, and found out that it was a civil airliner."

Weinberg had finished speaking, but the others still didn't understand. Even the annoyed President Reagan asked, "Weinberg, you said that Iraq almost shot down an Iranian airliner. What does that have to do with us?"

"If Iran's civil airliner is shot down, what do you think Iran will do?"

"Shooting down is shooting down. In the end, Iran's civil aviation department went to the United Nations to sue. They have done so many things, and the United Nations will not take care of them. In the end, they can't get it." George said.

"What if it's from another country?"

"That's a very serious problem." White House Chief of Staff Toms said: "The accidental shooting of a civil airliner is a very serious incident. If our country's passenger plane is shot down, all our people will oppose it passionately."

After finishing speaking, Thomas suddenly shivered: "Weinberg, you don't really want to do that, do you? 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 drop a nuclear bomb on his head without hesitation." Weinberg said: "Mr. President, the problems we are facing now are very serious. Seriously, if we want to get out of the current predicament, we must find ways to divert the public's attention."

After Weinberg said these few words, everyone was stunned. They knew that Weinberg had always advocated force. What idea did he come up with this time?

"Now, although we have proposed the Star Wars plan, the Soviets don't seem to be very enthusiastic. Their leader Andropov is very different from Brerìnev. No matter who becomes the leader of the United States, the Soviet Union will always It is our biggest threat." Weinberg said: "If the Soviet Union is completed, then we will face an even greater threat, so we must stifle the development of the Soviet Union in the bud and let the whole world oppose the Soviet Union. .”

Containing the Soviet Union is the top priority of every American government, and Weinberg doesn't need to describe it in detail.

"We are modifying a passenger plane of the Korean Civil Aviation Company. It is loaded with some electronic equipment, and we need to conduct a test on the air defense police network in the Far East of the Soviet Union." Weinberg said: "The Soviet Union improved the air defense police network last year. , Moreover, they have deployed intercontinental missile launch silos in the northern part of Sakhalin Island. We have long wanted to conduct a reconnaissance test flight, but we have not found an opportunity. If we use civil aviation airliners, then our pressure will be much less .”

When it comes to much less stress, they all know that Weinberg is punning.

Using a civil aviation airliner to test the opponent's air defense system will not be considered an act of violating the opponent's airspace like using a reconnaissance aircraft, because the civil aviation airliner is lost!On this point, even Iraq, which is currently at war, did not dare to shoot down an Iranian airliner directly. Although the United States and the Soviet Union were in the Cold War, they did not dare to shoot down each other's airliner. Moreover, this time it was not an American airliner, but It is Korean.

If the mission can be successfully completed, it is the best. If not, then the Soviet Union discovered that it was a civil aviation airliner that invaded its airspace, so it would maintain a certain degree of restraint. At most, it would guide the airliner back to normal Just up the fairway.

And if the Soviet Union did not maintain its rationality, but chose to shoot down the civil aviation airliner, then how strong the world's response would be if the airliner was shot down by the Soviet Union?

Reagan knew that the eyes of the world would definitely not be focused on transporting arms to Iran. They would definitely report something more sensational, that is, the Red Empire indiscriminately shot down a civil airliner!

In this way, the domestic crisis in the United States will be alleviated immediately, and they can also play a role of justice, so that the sentiments of the American people who are full of antipathy against the Soviet Union will be aroused again, and they will vent their power to the Red Empire!

At that time, who will care about the current incident?

This is a very good method, but after hearing Weinberg's words, all the people remained silent.

Because this method is a bit too despicable!

Is it worthwhile to kidnap the entire airliner for your own benefit?If the people knew the truth, their end would probably be even worse than that of Begin.

However, this idea is really very tempting, because when the internal conflicts are fierce, the enthusiasm of the people needs a vent. Instead of letting them be consumed in dissatisfaction with the government, it is better to guide them to the disgust of the Red Empire .

Reagan lit a cigar and took a puff.

The entire meeting room was very quiet, only the clock on the wall was ticking.

"Why Korean Air Lines?" asked Reagan.

"Because they had already strayed into Soviet airspace once," Weinberg said.

In 1978, a Boeing 707 of Korean Air was hit by a Soviet missile and was forced to land on a snow-covered lake in Karelia, northwest of the Soviet Union.

这架波音707客机是从法国巴黎飞往安克雷奇，途经英国、冰岛东岸、格陵兰和加拿大的北极群岛。机上有来自6个国家的97名乘客，其中包括26名妇女、5名儿童。共有2名飞行员和1名领航员。

After flying for 7 hours, the black box recorded a classic set of conversations.

The captain asked the navigator, "Where did we fly?"

"Greenland."

But after a few minutes, the navigator called out: "I see military aircraft."

"What's the sign of the plane?"

"Red five stars."

"Soviet! So we're off course!"

Then, the Su-15 fighter jets that came to intercept the passenger plane fired two missiles, knocking off a wing of the passenger plane, and the highly skilled captain finally forced the passenger plane to land on the lake.

The final inspection found that it turned out that the navigator of the passenger plane had not connected the compass to the autopilot.At Orly, the navigator was informed that there was something wrong with the compass.Therefore, when he found that the heading angle increased strangely, he turned down the compass angle by hand.But the autopilot was programmed to restore the original angle, which caused the aircraft to yaw.

Deschatkov of the KGB who was in charge of the investigation issued an investigation report saying: "We have not found any secret reason with the nature of reconnaissance. The Korean Boeing 707 airliner is an ordinary civil aviation airliner."

Chapter 5 Eleven Korean Civil Aviation Aircraft

Thinking of the last incident, everyone present knew that the passengers on that plane were very lucky, they escaped an innocent air crash.But that was very lucky, the Soviet fighter plane fired two missiles in succession, the first one cut off one end of the Boeing 707's wing, and the second missile attacked the cut off wingtip as a target, Otherwise, it would not have been the two passengers who were hit by the debris, but the entire passenger and crew.

And this time, will there be such good luck?

Reagan hesitated. In doing so, he exchanged the lives of more than 200 passengers for his status. He had no face to accept such a price.Although politics is dirty, Reagan also has a limit. Such actions cannot be carried out!

"This operation, I cannot approve." Reagan said: "We cannot trade the lives of those passengers, including American citizens, in exchange for our dominance."

If you want American citizens to respond to this incident, then there must be American citizens on the downed civil airliner.Letting American citizens take this risk is contrary to his bold words when he was president: the American people will never be threatened again!

Hearing the president's words, the enthusiasm in Weinberg's eyes was extinguished. This is an action planned by them. It is of great significance and can severely damage the international reputation of the Soviet Union. Especially after the Soviet Union brazenly invaded Afghanistan, the negative impact of the Soviet Union on the international stage It's already big.
