"Our powerful navy and air force have gone through half a month of preparation and cost countless funds. Could it be that they are going to die?" Reagan asked.

Weinberg's eyes were red. He had been waiting for the result of the battle. In the end, what he was waiting for now was such news!Of the more than 100 fighters that went on the expedition, sixteen were shot down and six were damaged. One of them had an accident when it landed on the aircraft carrier with injuries and fell into the sea. Fortunately, it did not pose a threat to the aircraft carrier.

If the opponent they faced was the Soviet Union, then it would be honorable to fight like this, but now they are attacking a third-rate country, an illiterate country where most of the people cannot read and write. Ambushed?

Weinberg also felt that it seemed time for him to take the blame and resign.

However, after the analysis of the combatants at that time, they had come to a conclusion: Among Libya's air defense missiles, there was a special anti-radiation missile!

This time, they were only attacked by this kind of missile, so if they let them attack again, it will definitely not end like this!After all, it is completely impossible to protect the airspace if you want to rely on anti-aircraft missiles. The air supremacy of the Libyans is in their hands.

9 Chapter Sixty War and Peace

"This time, we just had a loophole in the attack, and they took advantage of it. Our air force has already planned the next operation. Our air force in Turkey will also join this attack plan. We plan to dispatch two More than a hundred fighter planes carried out an all-round bombing of Libya," Weinberg said.

After suffering such a big loss this time, the military lost all face. Of course they will do it again. Moreover, they have discovered the means of the Libyan air defense force, which is to have a ground-to-air anti-radiation force that they have never seen before. Shooting missiles killed their electronic jammers and early warning machines, so they will adopt new tactics this time.

The E-3 pre-warning plane took off from the Turkish air force base and observed it at a distance of 250 kilometers from the Libyan coastline. Because the longest range of Libya's anti-aircraft missiles is only 18 kilometers, they can be free of any danger. At the same time, every attack The detachment will add two F/A-117 attack aircraft equipped with anti-radiation missiles to attack the opponent's air defense missile positions. Moreover, the first batch of aircraft entering, they plan to use their first stealth aircraft, the F-[-] !

This time, Libya has hurt them. Therefore, the U.S. government must use the strongest attitude to let Libya know that the success of a surprise attack does not mean that Libya has a strong military. The United States is the leader in this world. overlord.

In order to restore the morale of the US military, this operation is necessary.

"France has lodged a serious protest against us. We bombed their embassy by mistake." After the embassy was bombed, it is easy to think that this is a malicious revenge by the United States.Although it was just a bomb that didn't explode.

The French are also here to make trouble!Reagan felt confused.

"President, we have received an emergency from Libya. Just a few days ago, Gaddafi captured all our citizens in Libya to the Aziziye Barracks. There are more than 1000 people in total." At this time, CIA Director Kai Xicai hurried over and said, "Also, our captive pilots were also taken to the Aziziye Barracks."

Hearing this, all the people present felt cold sweat behind their backs, Gaddafi really is really ruthless!Dare to kidnap their citizens!

"We need to send out our armed men, rescue our citizens, we need a total bombing!" Weinberg said.At this time, it is time to show the powerful force of the United States, and he does not believe that with the strength of the United States, it cannot deal with a small African country.

However, other people didn't think so, and they even started to rejoice that the bombing was fortunately unsuccessful!

Otherwise, our own air force will blow up and injure the citizens of our own country. Although those citizens were kidnapped, the public opinion in the world is very dissatisfied with this air strike by the United States, thinking that the United States is interfering in a sovereign country In terms of internal affairs, the United States is only acting unilaterally to show its toughness. If the action is successful, the United States will retreat completely. It can be regarded as a classic example of warfare. Tongue, but if there is a major mistake, for example, bombing of other facilities by mistake, now, just bombing the French embassy is still secondary, at most it is a diplomatic protest, but if you "mistakenly bomb" yourself citizens of the country, then their prestige will be completely lost.

That's more than 1000 lives!Bombing Gaddafi, no matter how many people die, they will not feel guilty, but if they bomb the citizens of their own country, then they will feel very uncomfortable. Although they were kidnapped to the Aziziye barracks, but , How do you do your own intelligence work?How could the bombing be so reckless?It will lead to serious protests from citizens, especially now that the mid-term congressional elections are coming, and God knows how those lawmakers will react.

Thinking of this, President Reagan even began to feel grateful that there was no successful bombing.

"Although the Soviet Union just protested to us, there is no doubt that this incident must have been manipulated by the Soviet Union behind the scenes." Bush said: "What we are considering now is not how to carry out the next bombing, but how to carry out the next bombing." How can we rescue our current pilots."

If you want the pilots to be able to resolutely execute the order, then they must know that when they have an accident, the US military will rescue them as soon as possible, so that they have no worries.In fact, they did the same. The search and rescue helicopters were already in place, ready to rescue the crashed fighter pilots. However, they did not expect that so many pilots had accidents. They just rescued the pilots who fell in the sea. The pilots, and the rest, had been pre-empted by the Libyans who had long been waiting.

That's eleven pilots!If your side plans another attack, will the pilot be able to carry out the order?Let them bomb the Aziziye barracks, and the pilots killed by their own side were imprisoned there!Pilots can press the bomb button to kill their comrades?

Just when the United States was shocked to hear about this incident and believed that the Soviet Union was behind it, Qusay also received a report on the results.

This attack was a complete success, which surprised Qusay. It seems that the US navy and air force in the 80s were not as powerful as imagined. There were many loopholes in their operation, and they were all exploited by themselves.

In later generations, the United States is so strong that it makes people tremble. Although the ground war makes the US military exhausted, their air superiority is definitely the most powerful. It's like facing a big enemy.

First it was electromagnetic interference, and then it was indiscriminate bombing. This trick has been tried and tested. If the opponent dares to take off the fighter plane, then the fighter jet that has been waiting for a long time will shoot down the opponent mercilessly. Now, the US military, It can be regarded as a big loss!

In particular, the parts of the electronic jammer brought back opened the eyes of the Iraqi military personnel. Compared with the jammers of the United States, their original jammers are simply child's play. Now, Iraq's own brand new electronic fighters, It is also under development, and the acquisition of these samples is of great use to them.

But at the same time, Qusay also has a little worry. This time, the United States has suffered a big loss. Then, in the next stage, will the United States continue to launch a second or third strike?

This time, Libya was able to win, definitely not because the U.S. aviation power was not strong, but because it was caught off guard, because this is the first ground-to-air anti-radiation missile, especially the Sam-5 missile owned by Libya , It is definitely a big killer, used to attack the opponent's early warning machine, it is absolutely perfect!

The second time, it will not be so easy to use. The opponent will definitely arrange his precious early warning machine 250 kilometers away from the coastline, and the opponent's jammer will also use the method of shutting down after discovering the anti-radiation missile. Unlock the anti-radiation missile.

In general, Libya has no real strength to challenge the United States at all.

Therefore, if the United States is beaten hard this time, there will be two results. First, the United States will give up another bombing of Gaddafi to avoid another setback. On the other hand, the United States may plan a bigger air strike !

Qusay was thinking in his mind. Now, we need to find a way to prevent the United States from using force against Libya. Originally, they did not have much righteous reason for this action. It was simply that President Reagan disliked Gaddafi. Now, Their captives, as well as that hapless guy at the French embassy, ​​are enough to make the Americans stop their steps!

That night, an AFP reporter interviewed the family of the reporter who died in Libya. Under the TV camera, his wife in her 40s wept bitterly, denouncing the crimes of the Americans. Their brutal bombing made him lose his own. husband.

At the same time, the camera also switched to the synchronous Libya. Here, there are bombs dropped by the Americans everywhere. Some of the bombs did not explode. These gave the people in front of the TV a strong visual impact and felt the behavior of the Americans in Libya. It's like committing a crime. Bombing military targets is okay, but bombing civilians is not tolerated, especially when the French died.

Of course, this was not the intention of the Americans at all. After being attacked by anti-aircraft missiles, the F-111 was loaded with heavy bombs. The only thing they could do was to drop the bombs as soon as possible, restore their mobility, and then leave at high speed.

As for where the bombs were thrown, they themselves did not know, and they did not throw them over the target anyway.

Looking at the bombed village and the expression of the woman who lost her husband, almost all of France was angry.

Condemn the Americans!

At the same time, in the United States, reports began to be reported on the failed actions of the US military, which resulted in the loss of as many as [-] fighter planes and the loss of dozens of excellent pilots.Moreover, there are still more than a dozen pilots detained in Libya and treated inhumanely.

This incident, which could have been avoided, was all the government's fault!

The opposition parties even seized this opportunity to vigorously attack the Reagan government. In this way, they can gain a favorable position in the midterm congressional elections and prepare for the next general election.

The reporter also interviewed the family members of the crashed pilot, and they all expressed their confusion about the operation. The U.S. military was trying to carry out an impossible mission in a whimsical way.

Weinberg suddenly found that, while they were still planning their next move, they were already besieged on all sides.

Chapter 961 Peaceful Resolution

"Mr. Ambassador is very welcome." Qusay said in the office.

The US aircraft carrier has been sailing north of the coastline of Libya, exerting strong pressure on Libya, but it has not entered Libya's airspace, and even the death line stipulated by Libya is rarely broken. In this case, Qusay If the personnel secretly deployed in Libya were not withdrawn, and they were alerted to the actions of the United States, the next time there was a conflict, it might not be so easy to deal with.

Just a week after this incident, a familiar guest, the US ambassador to Iraq Brightman, came to visit Qusay's office.

Hearing that he was coming, Qusay already knew what he was here for. This would be a good way to end the crisis decently and at the same time squeeze some benefits from the Americans.

"President Qusay, this time I am here mainly for the peace of the Arab world." Brightman said.

Peace?Under the banner of peace, to bomb others?Qusay thought to himself, and said: "We in the Arab world are all peace-loving, unless we encounter foreign aggression."

Qusay said this, which surprised Brightman: "President Qusay, you are a very important friend of our United States in the Middle East. I came to see you not to discuss the right and wrong of this incident, but to discuss how to Only then can this dispute be ended.”

The U.S. bombing of Libya was originally decided by the Americans themselves, and it did not receive any authorization from the United Nations. Therefore, the Americans did not have a very strong diplomatic and military advantage in this incident.

Originally, in other actions, the United States decided even unilaterally. However, after the military success, even if outsiders wanted to say, they would not be able to say anything. Gaddafi, what other people like to say, Gaddafi is dead, the United States can be more confident and bold to intervene in the situation in Libya and support its own agents.

But now... Thinking of the disputes experienced in the country and the final choice of the president, Brightman knows that the Americans have not achieved any purpose in this incident.

The U.S. bombing action made the Arab world very angry. The Arab world expressed unanimous condemnation of this U.S. action, but did not take measures to restrict oil exports, because this time it was only the actions of the U.S. side, and the Western world did not participate in the U.S. During the operation, even the United Kingdom issued a statement expressing regret over the incident, and because the proportion of oil imported by the United States from the Middle East has decreased, they did not take out the weapon of the oil embargo, which is to deal with the entire West weapons of the world.

Now, the United States finally wants to resolve this dispute peacefully.

"So, what do you mean?" Qusay asked.
