Dominate South Asia

"These abominable Persians don't admit that they did it!" In the White House, Bush, who had just become the master of this place, had a gloomy face. Now, his first challenge after taking office is the old enemy of the United States, the gangsters. of Persians.

The investigation report has come up. When our E-3 early warning aircraft was returning, it passed by the border area between Iran and Pakistan. There, the Iranians launched a Hawker anti-aircraft missile, which hit the wing of the early warning aircraft and caused the engine to burn. And an explosion occurred, which was the direct cause of the plane crash.

An early warning aircraft, worth over 100 million, was destroyed by Iranian missiles, and the Iranians still refused to admit that they did it!

"How about we launch a new strike against Iran?" Defense Secretary Dick Cheney said on the side. This is a tough defense minister. In history, it was under his leadership that the United States carried out the famous Desert Storm. The military operation drove away Iraq, restored the Kuwaiti royal family, and established its own hegemony in the Gulf.

Now, he has become the Secretary of Defense of the United States. It is the time to show the strength of the United States!

"These Persians always like to do damage secretly. They have been placing mines in the bay before, and they still don't admit it. It wasn't until we captured them that they couldn't make excuses." Cheney continued: "Now, after our severe crackdown, Now, they can no longer lay mines, but they have extended their evil hands to our early warning aircraft! They must pay the price!"

Cheney likes to use force very much. For the United States, powerful force gives them sufficient confidence. Now, there are two aircraft carrier formations cruising in the Gulf to launch an air strike against Persia. Let them know that America is not to be trifled with!

"No, this will arouse the resentment of other Arab countries around." Regarding Cheney's proposal, Secretary of State James Addison Baker III said on the side. He is also a veteran of the top US officials. In the era of Reagan, he was The U.S. Treasury Secretary once single-handedly led the Plaza Accord, forcing the yen to appreciate to ease the U.S. financial situation. The U.S. economy is healthy. When necessary, it can plunder the wealth of other countries by cutting its wool, so that its own country's economy can continue to develop healthily.

Now that Baker has become Secretary of State, all foreign affairs fall within his scope. He is very worried that if the United States launches air strikes against Iran in the Persian Gulf, it will bring unrest to surrounding Arab countries.

The people there are actually repulsive towards the Western world, especially the United States. The main reason is that in previous Middle East wars, the United States has always sided with Israel. In almost every country, countless soldiers died in the war between Palestine and Israel. Therefore, they are hostile to the United States. Now because the ship attacks in Iraq and Iran have affected the economies of various countries, they have no choice but to ask for help. The Americans came to escort, even so. As the host, Saudi Arabia has been criticized by many people, saying that it should not bring the United States to the Middle East.

At present, the United States' military operations are still limited to escorting oil tankers. If a large number of fighter planes are dispatched to attack Iran, it will cause even more hostility among personnel from surrounding countries. It puts the United States in an awkward position there.

"Then what should we do?" Cheney asked: "Just swallow this breath? We lost several excellent pilots and an early warning aircraft!"

"Of course we won't let it go like this!" Bush Sr. said gloomily on the side: "Since they don't admit it, why don't we also make a mistake?"

Bush Sr. is also militant, now. Since the Iranians have offended Bush Sr., Bush Sr. will never fail to fight back. How to fight back is also very particular.

Accidental hit! I beat you and then said I hit you wrong!

Cheney suddenly felt happy: "Yes, let's have a misfire!" Thinking about a few years ago, the Exocet missile launched by the Iraqis hit an American frigate. They said it was a misunderstanding, and the Americans were not angry.

The waves in the Persian Gulf are rough and it is very uncomfortable to sail in this kind of weather, especially when you have to face attacks that may appear at any time.

No matter what kind of war it is, attacks on civilian targets will arouse opposition from people all over the world, because the ship attack war between Iran and Iraq has caused the Gulf countries to suffer unspeakably, and the hardest part is of course those who have personal experience. crew.

The "Stovall" is a Liberian oil tanker. The sailors on the oil tanker are looking at the surrounding waters nervously. This is the most unsafe place. Moreover, they do not have any weapons in their hands. Once attacked by the Iranians, , they can only pray for God’s blessing.

"Look, what are those?" a sailor shouted. In the distance, several bright spots on the sea could be seen.

"Oh my God, that's an Iranian gunboat! Hurry, call for help!" said the first mate on the ship. His eyesight was very good and he could see the gun barrel on the speedboat at a glance.

"SOS, SOS, we are the tanker "Stovall", and there are Iranian gunboats heading towards us!" The captain almost cried.

"Roger, U.S. frigate USS Montgomery." came the echo from the radio.

At this time, there happened to be a US Navy frigate nearby. After receiving the report, it immediately rushed over at the fastest speed. At the same time, it told the news here to "Vincents" on the other side of the Strait of Hormuz. cruiser.

"Guys, we have something to do!" Captain Will Rogers said, "The Iranians have sent out gunboats again, let's go and destroy them!"

The gas turbine began to work at full power. This most advanced Aegis cruiser of the US Navy accelerated to a maximum speed of 30 knots and bumped forward on the sea. At the same time, on the flight deck at the rear, a Seahawk helicopter took off urgently and flew towards the target sea area.

Rogers' hands were knocking on the operating table. He was thinking about another thing at the same time. The order from above had come down. When necessary, fire back, even at the cost of accidental injuries!

This order was very questionable. Rogers knew what the people above were thinking.

Time was slowly passing. On the sea, the Seahawk helicopter sent back a report that the Iranian gunboat had been found. The other side did not open fire, but just habitually harassed the tanker.

"Fire, attack them!" Rogers said. The US early warning aircraft were shot down by these guys. They should be taught a lesson! Rogers had no reason to let go of the Iranian gunboats. The Seahawk helicopters were equipped with Hellfire anti-ship missiles, which could easily send those light gunboats to the bottom of the sea!

The clock continued to turn, and it was already past nine in the morning.

Bandar Abbas Airport.

"Control tower, control tower, Iran Airlines Flight 655 requests to take off." In the cockpit of an Airbus A300B2 aircraft, Captain Mursin-Rezayan communicated with the tower.

For him, this was a very ordinary flight, leaving Bandar Abbas and flying to Dubai Airport. Since the flight distance was only 200 miles, such a short distance, after taking off, the plane first climbed to an altitude of 4,000 meters, cruised for a while, and then landed.

Because of waiting for several late passengers, the flight was delayed for 20 minutes.

"Received, Flight 655 can take off, please turn on the transponder, transponder mode III 6760." Later, the tower replied.

Mursin skillfully turned on various switches and gently pushed the throttle. The civil airliner began to taxi slowly on the runway, speeding up. When it reached the end of the runway, he gently pulled back the joystick, and the plane flew skillfully.

There were nearly 300 passengers on the plane, most of whom were Iranians.

"We found a fighter jet taking off from Bandar Abbas!" The cruiser "Vincennes" has an advanced Aegis system with a long detection range. When the plane over there took off, it was immediately searched.

"Identify the nature of the target immediately." Rogers said.

Bandar Abbas Airport is a dual-use military and civilian airport. The Iranians may deploy powerful Tomcat fighters at this airport. If the Tomcat fighters fly in, the helicopter sent out by our side will be in danger.

After all, our Seahawk helicopters are now using Hellfire missiles to attack Iranian gunboats, and have sunk two of them. After the Iranians get the news of the gunboats, they may come to reinforce.

"Yes." Anderson, who was in charge of observing the radar, immediately operated the interrogation machine on the radar and sent out an interrogation signal. If it was a civil aviation, the other party's transponder should have responded.

In almost one second, the result appeared on the display screen, but the result was uncertain!

"There are no flights during this time period." Another naval soldier, John Rich, said that he had just checked the flight list.

After receiving such a report, Rogers continued to tap the bridge with his fingers. Now, everything was under his command. This plane might be an Iranian Tomcat fighter! It might be the one that came to attack the Seahawk helicopter! Although the Seahawk helicopter has begun to return, it is not flying as fast as the other party!

In order to protect his own aircraft, he could not care so much. Besides, there were instructions above that it would rather cause accidental injury than let it go!

"Two standard 2s, salvo!" Rogers said.

"Received, lock the target, two salvos!" Captain Zocher's hand pressed on the launch button. As usual, he put his finger on the red button and pressed it.

"Bang, bang." The cover of the MK41 universal vertical launch system opened, and two Standard II missiles with flames flew out. The blazing flames were so gorgeous even in the daytime. (To be continued ~^~)
