So, he has only one way to go, run!

Chapter 6 Ten Captive T

Major Ed Yielding took advantage of the cover of the grass and ran wildly on the field along the Caspian Sea. Although his speed could not exceed the speed of sound, although he could not compare with Bolt, he had tried his best.

Fortunately, the helicopter that found the flying seat just searched around briefly, then landed and took away his flying seat.

Because the Iraqi personnel who searched thought that the pilot would definitely run away immediately after landing, and the farther away from this flying seat the better, or, on the enemy’s land, guarding the flying seat, isn’t it waiting to die?

They didn't know that Major Ed Yielding didn't know where he landed, let alone that the Iraqis would arrive soon, and he really wanted to wait near his seat for the arrival of his own search and rescue personnel.

But now, it is no longer possible, he has to run away quickly, and then try to return to the United States.

He has now determined that he must be on the land of Iran. The native Iranian people here must not have a good impression of the Americans, and the Iraqis are even more eager to catch him immediately.

It's just that no matter how fast the two legs are, they can't run the helicopter.

Major Ed Yielding felt a huge gust of wind blowing from his back, and he quickly lay down in the grass. At the same time, he tried his best to curl up his body. In the previous few times when he was about to be discovered, he always relied on this method to come Avoid the opponent's search.Thanks to these bushes!

However, this time he was unsuccessful.

Because, just when he lay down, he found a slippery thing in the grass where he was crawling.He was spitting out apricots and looking at himself.

That is a poisonous snake!

Major Ed Yielding panicked, and when he was lying down, he happened to lie on the place where poisonous snakes like to inhabit, and he violated the opponent's territory.

Now, that poisonous snake is looking at the intruder, ready to strike, and will give the opponent the most severe blow at any moment!

As a pilot, I have to receive field survival training every year.It was the ability to deal with what should happen in enemy soil, and Major Ed Yielding knew how to deal with vipers, and he was sure of that.

But now, if he wants to deal with the poisonous snake, he will expose himself. If he doesn't deal with the poisonous snake, he will come up at any time when he sees the malicious appearance of the snake in front of him.Using the sap from its fangs against himself, Major Ed Yielding hesitated, the viper had already moved.

He knew that if he was caught by the enemy, he would not necessarily die, but now, if he was bitten by this poisonous snake, and there was no antivenom in his first aid kit, he would definitely die.

At the moment when the poisonous snake jumped up, Major Ed Yielding got up from the ground.He turned around to avoid the poisonous snake's attack, and then pinched seven inches of the snake with his hand, and picked up the umbrella knife behind him with his other hand, and chopped down the snake's vital parts.

Damn snake, otherwise I wouldn't be exposed!

At this time, the helicopter had clearly spotted the man standing in the grass with two pieces of snake in his hand. Although the man was not wearing a flight suit, they knew it.That person must be the one they were looking for.

While escaping, Major Ed Yielding had already taken off his bulky flight suit, and was only wearing his usual underwear. On his calf, there were several bloodstains cut by thorns in the grass. He looked at the hot snake in his hand, and used The umbrella knife cut the snake's skin.He took out the snake gall and swallowed it into his stomach.

Being caught by these people, I don't know if I will be able to eat.Although the taste of snake gallbladder is very bloody, it is quite anti-hunger.

"Foreigner, you are under arrest." Several armed men descended from the helicopter and surrounded Major Ed Yielding.

Although Major Ed Yielding was still carrying a pistol for self-defense, but, unlike those armed men with automatic rifles, if Major Ed Yielding wanted to resist, there would be no way out.

"Now, we are facing a big problem." There was a trace of anxiety in Weinberg's words, and he said: "We are now convinced that our SR71 reconnaissance plane crashed over Iran. No wreckage was found."

"Our reconnaissance plane has never been shot down, even if it is flying over the Soviet Union, it is safe." George said: "The Iraqis are capable of shooting down our plane?"

"Before they entered the Persian Gulf, they were intercepted by the Iraqis once, but the Iraqis failed. Their high-altitude and high-speed fighter jets, the MiG 25, simply had nothing to do with our blackbirds that can reach Mach 3.5. Therefore, We now estimate that the biggest problem is not being shot down, but a mechanical failure." Weinberg said: "Our early warning aircraft was investigating on the Turkish border and did not find anything unusual in northern Iran. Our reconnaissance satellites found There is Iraqi helicopter gunship activity in Mazandaran province on the coast of the Caspian Sea, we suspect that our plane crashed there, and Iraqi helicopters are searching for our plane and pilot.”

Mazandaran Province is more than 600 kilometers away from the Turkish border, and the early warning aircraft operating over Turkey simply cannot monitor such a long distance.

The reconnaissance satellites took pictures of the ground, proving that there are Iraqi helicopters operating there. It is not yet an area controlled by the Tehran government, but there must be a reason for them to fly there. The blackbirds of our side may have fallen. to that area.

However, the reconnaissance satellite did not find the wreckage of the black bird. The black body of the black bird should be very conspicuous on the ground. Could it be that the black bird had disintegrated in the air and was completely blown up?

They didn't know that the black bird had fallen into the Caspian Sea, and the satellites in the sky could not see what was going on inside the water no matter how they checked.

Originally, the reconnaissance plane was dispatched to find evidence of whether Iraq had conducted an underground nuclear test, and to create opportunities for weapons inspections in Iraq. At the same time, it was also to explain to the public that the U.S. government is only responsible for the peace and stability of the world. The move is not because of any hegemony.Now in the country, there is already a voice questioning the government's suspicion of Iraq this time, because in the hearts of the American people, Iraq is still a very friendly country, conducting aerial reconnaissance on such a country, and the flight failed and crashed into the enemy If this news gets out, the prestige of the government will be affected even more.

"Is our plane really due to a mechanical failure?" At this time, Bush asked again.

"We can only speculate like this, because our reconnaissance plane has never been shot down, and it can easily avoid the opponent's missiles, because it flies faster and higher than the missiles." Weinberg said.

"So, did it ever have a mechanical failure in the course of its mission?"

This... Weinberg thought for a moment: "There were a few glitches in training, but in mission execution, it never seemed to happen."

"We have to be prepared with both hands. If there is only a mechanical failure, it can be forgiven. If our reconnaissance plane is shot down by Iraq, then we must seek justice for our pilot!" Bush said. The plane was shot down by the Iraqi air force over Iran. This is a naked challenge to the United States. Iraq must pay the price!

But how do you determine what exactly is the cause?Not even the wreckage of the plane was found!

"We need to rescue our pilot. As long as we find the pilot, then all the reasons will be found." Bush said: "Until we find definite evidence, we need to keep it secret for the time being. If this matter is publicized, it will affect our current campaign. It may have a negative impact." President Reagan said that now, he has a great advantage in the election, and the latest public opinion poll shows that Mondale's support rate is less than [-]%, and he has enough advantages Win, as long as there are no accidents.

Although they had received a distress signal from the ejection seat some time before the plane crashed, the signal was interrupted before the location was determined. Now, they can only hope that the pilot himself carried the distress signal. The equipment sends out a signal, and the Turkish troops are ready to rescue them at any time!

"It would be great if we had search personnel in that area!" Weinberg said, the power of the United States has withdrawn from Iran. It’s okay to send your own troops to the rescue, and go as soon as you go, but it’s unrealistic to send a large number of people to search for your own skydiving pilots. In less than half a day, the first Iranian who finds them will report to the top. , at least the whole village will run out with shovels and hoes.

"We can ask the Israelis for help." Casey said: "The Israelis are now leading the resistance movement of the Iranian army."

This is the information shown in the latest CIA reconnaissance photos. The Israelis are training an Iranian army in Yazd. For various reasons, the United States acquiesced in this operation. It is absolutely not in the interests of the United States to become a powerful country in the Middle East. The suppression of Iraq is also for this purpose.

"Notify the Israelis, let them try to dispatch Yazd's personnel, even let them contact the Iranian garrison in Mazandaran, let them help us search. Find our pilots before the Iraqis." President Reagan said.

"It is reported that radioactive contamination of groundwater has been found in the border area between Jordan and Israel, which is suspected to be caused by an underground nuclear test conducted by Israel." At this time, the latest news from the CIA was sent to Casey, who was in the meeting, and everyone received it. The news was taken by surprise. (..)

Chapter 6 Eleven Israel's Tough Attitude

In May 1984, two ordinary and insignificant earthquakes on the land of the Middle East showed a very different side.

Earthquakes are just a normal activity of the earth's crust, which can happen at any time. However, if the earthquake is artificially caused, it will be troublesome. There is only one possibility, an underground nuclear test!

Under such circumstances, the United States issued a statement, claiming that the earthquake in the Bakhtaran area of ​​​​Iran was caused by an underground nuclear test in Iraq, and hoped that the International Atomic Energy Agency of the United Nations would conduct verification. This caused a sensation in the world and secretly conducted nuclear tests. , this is an act despised by the whole world and will be condemned by the entire international community.

However, the international community reacted differently. The key issue is that Iraq is not capable of developing nuclear weapons at all. Many countries believe that this is just a method adopted by the United States to suppress the disobedient Iraq. If Iraq can develop nuclear bombs, Then the Israeli series is more capable of producing nuclear bombs, so why didn't the United States say that the earthquake in the Israeli series was also caused by underground nuclear tests?

Iraq's attitude is very strong, if you want to check, Iraq welcomes it at any time, but you must also accept the check in color!

Under such circumstances, the U.S. is riding a tiger. Israel has not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and the International Atomic Energy Agency has no control. Just withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The turmoil has not dissipated yet, and Jordan, a small country in the Middle East that has been silent for a long time, now has news that shocked the world: Jordan is close to the border area of ​​the Israeli earthquake, Tafila, and the groundwater source is polluted Yes, moreover, it is radioactive pollution!

The Jordanian zhèngfǔ issued a severely worded speech. This time, the groundwater in Tafila was polluted. As a result, thousands of Jordanian residents in the Tafila area were affected by the polluted water, and they were likely to be infected with diseases. Regarding the source of these radiations , Jordan has submitted to the International Atomic Energy Agency of the United Nations for investigation. At the same time, Jordan appeals to the international community for assistance in treating those people who drink polluted water.

This news, like a bolt from the blue, rang across the land of the Middle East, and the whole world was stunned.
