If the Americans clamor internationally that their plane fell into the Caspian Sea and the Soviets are not allowed to salvage it, then the whole world will be very curious, how did the American plane get there?Trek?This kind of rhetoric is untenable. As a result, the world will know that it was the United States that sent a reconnaissance plane that was shot down.

On May 1960, 5, a U-11 high-altitude reconnaissance plane of the United States was shot down over Sinderovsk, Soviet Union.Pilot Francis was captured.The Soviet Union celebrated this nationally, and the wreckage of the plane and the prisoners were publicly displayed in Moscow.The U.S. authorities are extremely indignant, but they are notorious in the world. Although during the Cold War, both sides will conduct investigations on each other, but this kind of violation of the sovereignty of each other's airspace will be disgusted by ordinary people.Afterwards, the United States stopped using the U-2 reconnaissance plane to detect the Soviet Union.

Qusay was thinking about it, and suddenly he felt excited. Since the frogmen of the United States and the Soviet Union encountered underwater, the United States will definitely turn its attention there. If the United States knows that its blackbird has fallen into the Caspian Sea, they will surely It will not be resigned to it. Although it is not the traditional sphere of influence of the United States, the military strength of the United States will not penetrate there, and the United States cannot prevent its own or the Soviet Union from salvaging. Then, the United States will definitely come up with other ways, for example, to salvage the water. Time to blow up the Blackbird?In short, the United States will not be willing to watch the Blackbird fall into the hands of the Soviet Union.

If the United States takes action, it will definitely use the air force base in Turkey. I am afraid that they will pass through the northern region of Iran. Now, it is in a state of local separatism, with large loopholes in air defense and mountainous areas. The flight will probably enter the Caspian Sea from there, and then destroy the salvaged Blackbird with missiles again to prevent leaks.

Qusay thought of this in an instant, so he might as well make a plan to make the Yankee's conspiracy go bankrupt this time.

"Inform the Soviet Union that I have some suggestions that I hope they will consider." Qusay said to the secretary.

In the vast underwater, it is impossible for all the frogmen to be killed by the Soviet frogmen. Some members of the SEALs who returned successfully reported to their superiors about the Soviet frogs that appeared underwater while mourning the loss of their companions. human condition.

They hoped to go down again to take on the Soviets underwater and avenge their comrades, but their superiors prevented them from doing so.

Because, the purpose of sending them down this time has been achieved, that is, the reason why the blackbird has not been found for so long is because it is hidden in the Caspian Sea!

Since it is hidden underwater, the Soviets must salvage the secret reconnaissance plane if they want to obtain it, and the secret of this reconnaissance plane will be obtained by the Soviets.

This is absolutely intolerable to the United States.

If the reconnaissance plane falls into the hands of Iraq, they can still try to get it back, but if it falls into the hands of the Soviets, they have only one way: blow up their own reconnaissance plane!

Originally, they could use frogmen, use explosives underwater, and place them on key parts to blow up the reconnaissance plane, but now, they have only one method to use: destroy the reconnaissance plane when the other party salvages the water!Anyway, it's not the coast of the Soviet Union, but the coast of Iran. The American planes are there to protect the safety there. The Soviet Union can go there, why can't the United States go there?

They can only use this tough method to destroy the Blackbird. There are many secrets of the U.S. Air Force on this plane. If it falls into the hands of the Soviets, the loss of the United States will be very huge, so huge that they cannot accept it. !

American reconnaissance satellites began to fly over the Caspian Sea from time to time to detect the movement here.

The two powers of the United States and the Soviet Union will cause conflicts at any time because of this incident.

"Iraq bombed our nuclear facilities. Although we have imposed sanctions on Iraq through the United States, these are far from enough." Rabin said: "This action by Iraq has allowed us to become a major force in the military." Losing face makes us unable to lift our heads in front of Congress and the people. The people pay taxes to feed our powerful army. We should give the people confidence and let them know that the Israeli army can protect Israeli civilians! "

After the incident, the Israeli military was hit hard. Iraq was able to successfully bomb nuclear facilities and important places. If Iraq attacked Tel Aviv instead of Dimona, what would happen?Although various evidences show that in this attack, the Soviets probably played a leading role, and Iraq was only a helper, but Rabin couldn't say those reasons.

Israel has always only been a bully, but he never thought that he would be bullied this time!The higher-ups above are angry, and the consequences are very serious.

Facing the doubts of the people, they have only one choice: to launch a successful revenge operation, so that the people can have full confidence in the Israeli army again!

Attack the Soviet Union?They didn't think about it, but, Iraq, this is what they must fight back!

"We need to let people all over the world know that Israel is the most powerful in the Middle East." Perez said, he was the one who proposed this counterattack mission. "The funds provided by our overseas Jewish compatriots are to arm our army and make us stronger. We have received a lot of donations this time and purchased dozens of fighter planes and two new aircraft from the United States. We also need to prove our strength, in the Middle East, if we fight against us, there will be no good end!"

Israel is only a small area in the Middle East, but it has blocked the joint attacks of many surrounding Arab countries. It is inseparable from the national spirit of Israel. There is a kind of domineering and arrogance in their bones.

After suffering a loss this time, Israel will definitely get it back. During this period of time, they have not made any moves, because they have been waiting for an opportunity.

Retaliation is certain, but they have not lost their minds. They need to wait until they relax their vigilance when this incident has been forgotten and the Arab countries think it is over, and then carry out another successful strike!

Now, this opportunity has finally arrived, because Iraq's eyes are on another matter, the downed American reconnaissance plane in the Caspian Sea area.

This is very top-secret news, but Israel obtained the information through high-level agents in the United States. Although the United States and Israel are already allies, this time, the attitude of the United States towards Israel's nuclear issue , Let Israel feel dissatisfied. They know that the United States must still have many secrets that are hiding from them, and they need all the secrets about the Middle East.

It is not very difficult for them to obtain information, because there are also many American Jews in the upper echelons of the United States and within the CIA.

Now, the main force of the Iraqi Air Force fighter planes, the Mirage 4000, part of it is placed in the exercise area of ​​​​Jordan, and the other part is placed in the cruise over Iran, but Iraq does not know that their airspace already has loopholes, that is, with The Syrian border!

Chapter 651 Borrowing Syria?

Syria is located in the east and west of the Middle East, on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea.It borders Turkey to the north, Iraq to the southeast, Jordan to the south, Lebanon and Palestine to the southwest, and Cyprus to the west across the sea.The area is about [-] square kilometers, and most of the territory is a plateau sloping from northwest to southeast.It is mainly divided into four zones: the western mountains and inter-mountain rifts; the Mediterranean coastal plain; the inland plain; and the southeastern Syrian desert.Sheikh Mountain in the southwest is the highest peak in the country.The Euphrates flows through Iraq in the east and flows into the Persian Gulf, and the Assi River runs through Turkey in the west and flows into the Mediterranean Sea.The coastal and northern regions have a subtropical Mediterranean climate, while the southern region has a tropical desert climate.There are four distinct seasons, desert areas have less rainfall in winter and dry and hot summer.

Syria has the third largest military force in the Arab world, which claims to be the third largest in the Arab world except Egypt and Iraq. In previous Middle East wars, Syria has always been at the forefront of struggle. However, the loss is also one of the most serious. The Golan Heights in Syria, Firmly occupied by Israel, overlooking Damascus in Syria, although Israel suffered a lot of losses during the battle in the Bekaa Valley, it also severely damaged Syria's air force and air defense forces.

Syria's foreign policy is also very special. Although President Assad came to power in a coup in 71 and is also an Arab Baath Party, the relationship between Syria and Iraq is the worst in the entire Arab country. In the Iran-Iraq War, Syria has always stood by Iran's side.

Now, Iran has been defeated, Iraq is gradually becoming stronger, and has faintly become a major power in the Middle East since Egypt faded out. All these make Syria feel a little crisis, but Syria's oil resources are not as good as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, etc. Therefore, although Syria suffered heavy losses two years ago, the air force has not recovered. What's more, Syria's air force equipment is all Soviet-style. When the Soviet Union did not let go of MiG-29 exports, Syria doesn't get top-notch fighter jets.

After receiving the Prime Minister's order to retaliate against Iraq, the Israeli Ministry of Defense began a series of planning. The last time they attacked the Israeli nuclear reactor, they took the border between Jordan and Saudi Arabia in the south. Now, this road The route is not feasible, because there is a time when Iraqi and Saudi warplanes patrol every day.

Therefore, after careful planning, Israel finally formed a bolder proposal: from the north, through Syria's airspace, enter Iraq, and attack Iraq's most important target, Baghdad!

Since it is necessary to fight back, it must be more violent. What can boost the morale of all Israelis is to attack the capital of Iraq and let Iraq know the consequences of bombing its own nuclear base!

Attacking from the north is almost half as close as the route from the south. In this case, the existing F-15 and F-16 fighters listed in Israel hardly need aerial refueling. After adding three large auxiliary fuel tanks, the attack can be completed task.

Therefore, after confirming this idea, the pre-warning planes of the sè series began to frequently detect the air force activities in southern Syria and their radar distribution. At the same time, Mossad's agents also began to dispatch them to attack them They figured out the situation, and the result was very satisfactory to them: this route, from now on, is very safe. There are only two radars in Syria here, but they are not often turned on. Flying, releasing electromagnetic interference at the same time, as long as they fly into the Syrian desert, they are safe.

As for the Iraqi airspace, since the Iraqi Air Force is now being dispersed into more areas, the route they chose can completely avoid the opponent's flight training.

After their careful planning, the preparations for this attack have finally been completed, but they are still waiting for the opportunity.

Now, this opportunity has finally arrived!

Amos Lapidot, the new commander of Israel's air force who came to power last year, faced Israel's top leaders and solemnly reported: "Operation Hell's Fury has been prepared, and the request begins immediately. "

Perez nodded: "Let's go, I am here, waiting for our warriors to return in triumph, and our people are all waiting for this good news."

The Israeli Air Force is finally facing Iraq, and is about to unleash its anger. Israel has never had such a failure. They need to use a successful air strike to prove that in the Middle East, it is their own sky!

"Prime Minister, our bombing is over this time. If Iraq wants to retaliate, what should we do? If this becomes the fuse of a new Middle East war, what should we do? Now, on our border with Jordan, the Arab The country's armored forces will set foot on our land at any time." When the meeting was over, all the people left, and the foreign minister stayed behind and said to Peres.

"Why, are you afraid?" Perez asked.

"No, I've never been afraid," said the foreign minister. "However, we don't seem to have such countermeasures in place now. At that time, if war really breaks out, we will be caught off guard."

Now that Iraq has defeated Iran and its confidence is swelling, if the capital of Iraq is attacked by air at this moment, the impact will probably be great. How will Iraq react?Will this reason be used as an excuse to carry out another Middle East war?This time is different from before. Troops from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other countries are still staying in Jordan. Once the war starts, these will be participating countries.

Israel needs to fight back, but before striking back, it is necessary to consider all the consequences clearly. Doing so is in line with Israel's interests.

"From various perspectives, this time it is because Iraq attacked us first, so we must fight back, and we must fight back stronger. Therefore, this attack, we must. At the same time, I am also sure , Iraq, there will be no large-scale attacks," Perez said.

Are you sure?Qusay in Iraq is not easy to deal with, the foreign minister thought.

Perez walked out of the window and looked at several children playing on the lawn outside. He said, "Israel, it is us who have gone through many wars to achieve today's situation. We have fought bloody battles." , just for the sake of this country, the glory of this country, no one can be defiled, in order to defend our country, we will use all our strength, we will no longer be besieged by these Arab countries, because we have made them afraid weapons."

The foreign minister was taken aback, he knew what the prime minister was referring to.

Although the nuclear base was destroyed, the Dimona base has been in operation for a long time, and enough nuclear materials have been produced to make two or three bombs. Moreover, before the inspection, they transferred these materials to other places. Here, they can manufacture new nuclear weapons at any time according to the design of the last underground nuclear test. Although there are only two or three nuclear weapons, they are enough to deter the surrounding countries!

But is this the best way?The Minister of Foreign Affairs hesitated in his heart. In that case, the surrounding countries would not dare to act rashly, but the reputation in the world would be even worse... However, in this world, the boss with hard fists is the boss, and no matter how hard the mouth is, It can't match the fist!

He didn't know that these methods were not used in the end, because they had no chance, and their attack failed.

...under the waters of the Caspian Sea.

This place is still full of different risks. After the location of the SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance plane has been determined, the Soviet frogman troops are waiting nearby. They spread out every few meters to protect the blackbird reconnaissance plane. Surroundings are guarding against the reappearance of the Americans.

But, fortunately, it may be the power of their underwater weapons that prevents the Americans from approaching, and on the sea, there are more ships guarding the surroundings. If the Americans want to dive over, they have to go farther underwater route.
