Chapter 305 The Hostage Issue

Fear comes from ignorance. Even if the Soviets were equipped with Su-27, Mhamad was not worried. Because of the decrypted information from later generations, he had long known the weakness of this fighter. However, this Phantom 4000 has never been put into service. It is not that it is not that it is behind in performance, but that it is not that it is born at the wrong time.

Now, this type of fighter needs to be equipped with the Indian Air Force. The inherent characteristics of the duck-style layout will give this type of fighter an advantage in air combat. Pakistan must find ways to eliminate this advantage!

Of course, even if the Indians are really equipped with this kind of fighter jet, Mhamad knows some of its disadvantages. In addition to the supporting medium-range air-to-air missiles that are too terrible and have too close range, another disadvantage is its engine.

Among all third-generation engines, the m53 engine equipped by the Phantom 2000 is the only single-rotor engine. This engine has only one rotor shaft, while the engines of the other third-generation engines are all double-rotor structures, with two shaft sleeves together, and the speeds of high-pressure and low-pressure machines are different, so that a good operating performance is achieved.

Therefore, no matter how beautiful it is, the anti-swing performance of the m53 engine is definitely the worst. Even if it turns into a double-engine and is installed on the Phantom 4000, the performance is also the worst. In real air combat, you can still bring it into the ditch.

While analyzing the advantages and weaknesses of the Phantom 4000, Mhamad began to arrange to deal with the threat of the Phantom 4000 of the French. On the other hand, there are important aircraft carrier modification issues.

The next day, Mhamad met with the US ambassador to Pakistan.

"We are very happy to see that just two days ago, the Lebanese extremist group released the young man Jansen, and he looked in a good condition." Mhamad said to Arnold.

As a result of the first deal, the young man was released.

"Yes. Thanks to your help," said Arnold. "We are now very much looking forward to the rest being released."

"That's all we have to show more sincerity," Mhamad said. "We will continue to send people to contact Iran."

"What we most hope to release is Barkley. Next time, we hope Barkley will be released first." Arnold said.

"That's not something I can control," Mhamad said. "We can only say, we've tried our best."

"We want to resolve these issues as soon as possible," Arnold said. "President Reagan decided to send Lieutenant Colonel North, deputy assistant to National Security Affairs, to Iran in person to negotiate with Khomeini."

Originally, Pakistan was a middleman, so that Pakistan could still get a part of it from the middle, but now the United States actually wants to negotiate directly with Iran!

Mhamad immediately frowned.

"What, are you in trouble?" Arnold asked.

"We have no difficulties," Mhamad said: "It's just that we are worried that if this matter is leaked, it will cause great trouble to President Reagan. Now, Pakistan can take all the blame on ourselves. If your country directly sends people to negotiate with Khomeini, then once the media knows, President Reagan may not be more popular than President Carter."

The United States does not compromise with terrorists, which is a firm position. If the American people know that the government actually uses weapons to replace hostages with the Iranian government, it means President Reagan's trust crisis.

"So, we want to do it more secretly," said Arnold. They were very determined in this matter.

"Okay, I can send someone to contact me." Mhamad could not express any objection.

"There is another thing," said Mhamad. "According to the contract, your shipyard will send someone to help us repair the warship, but until now, you have not seen your personnel. We hope that you will send someone to help us repair it as soon as possible. At the same time, we need three more things."

C-11 catapults, welding equipment, and more steel plates needed for aircraft carriers. Looking at these requirements, Arnold couldn't help but say: "President Mhamad. At the beginning, we hoped that these equipment would be more suitable in our shipyard."

"Now we have started to move back, and we really hope that you can provide it as soon as possible," said Mhamad.

"We will urge the shipyard," Arnold said.

Watching Arnold leave, Mhamad knew that Americans had also learned deeply the ability to procrastinate in the international community. This time, they must still want to delay this matter.

It seems that it's time to give Americans some eye drops.

Within a few days, Iran refused to contact the Americans directly, and to them, the United States is still a devil and a great Satan.

Faced with the Iranians' uncooperative attitude, the United States seems to have begun to change its attitude and is not so interested in continuing to trade weapons and hostages with Iran.

Mhamad inferred the performance of the Americans for a long time, and finally felt that the Americans should have wanted to solve these hostage problems once and for all, so as to save themselves from using a large number of weapons and only changing one hostage every time, and feel that it is a disaster.

The Americans seemed to have calculated it correctly. If the Iranians want to engage in war, they need American weapons very much, especially those spare parts of Tomcat fighter jets. The United States wants to pinch Khomeini's neck in this regard and let Iran agree with the plan they gave.

Unfortunately, Americans underestimate Iran too much. Iran has made great determination to make a decision to cooperate with Satan. Now, it is absolutely impossible for the United States to use this method to block Iran.

Soon, on TV, a picture appeared in front of everyone.

A masked terrorist spoke in front of the camera: "We have lost patience because the United States did not agree to our request, and now, we will kill the first hostage."

Next to it, the hostage tied to a chair was untied, revealing a Western face. It was Barkley, the director of the Beirut Station of the CIA!

At this time, Barkley's eyes were swollen and frightened, watching the person in front of him speak in Arabic, and then a long scimitar appeared.

"No!" Barkley exclaimed.

"Swish!" The terrorist waved his scimitar and slashed towards Barkley's neck.

Blood splattered and the head flew away. Due to the high pressure of the heart, blood spurted several meters high on the neck, and even the camera was scarlet.

"Damn it!" Turning off the TV, Reagan stood up and walked back and forth in the room.

"Obviously, they are challenging us," said William, director of the CIA. "These terrorists released such videos, which are a kind of demonstration that we did not continue to trade with Iran."

It was his subordinate who died, and William began to investigate immediately.

"After so long, can we still not find their hiding place?" Reagan said.

When needed, Reagan didn't mind using force. That's it now. Reagan actually didn't want to make more transactions with Iran, he wanted to solve the problem through force.

"I don't know, they are too cunning, and the people there are all exclusions of us Westerners, and they can't do their jobs," William said.

Although the CIA claims to be omnipresent, it is not possible to go anywhere. For example, Americans in Iran will definitely not be able to get in. The people there hate Americans so much that they can't do their jobs in the war-torn areas in the Middle East.

Without intelligence, they cannot organize a rescue operation.

"We have no choice," said Vice President Bush. "After this video is broadcast, it will put a lot of pressure on us. If we don't rescue the remaining hostages, we will not be able to explain to the people."

Bush can see the effect after the video is broadcast, and the American people will be very angry, and at the same time, it will also turn into dissatisfaction with the government.

"Can we only continue trading with Iran through Pakistan?" Reagan said.

"We have no choice." The Secretary of State also commented.

"Report, another emergency situation occurred." At this moment, the deputy director of the CIA hurried in: "In Egypt, a bus carrying more than twenty tourists was hijacked, including five of our citizens."

Reagan was stunned and the cigar in his mouth fell to the ground.

Needless to say, this must be an Iranian demonstration! Damn it!

American citizens can't always stay in the United States. They like freedom and can travel to various countries. The United States must ensure the safety of every citizen. This is a manifestation of the strength of the United States.

Now, what should I do?

"Who else is in the car?" William asked.

"There are sixteen French, two Italians, three Middle Easterners, and we suspect that these three Middle Easterners are introverts."

"No matter who others are, we must first rescue our citizens." Reagan said.

Pakistan.

Arnold, who received the order, asked again to meet Pakistani Vice President Mhamad, but he came several times in a row but did not meet Mhamad, who was not in Islamabad.

"I have something important," Arnold said. "Where has your president gone?"

"He went to Karachi." The person in charge said to Arnold.

Karachi? What are you doing in Karachi? Arnold quickly figured it out, Karachi, there was a big guy docking.

If the United States wants to let Pakistan connect with it again, I am afraid that it must agree to Pakistan's request. This time, the United States has not gained any benefits and has given Pakistan a retired aircraft carrier for nothing. It has not had much benefit yet. Now, due to the situation, it has to take the initiative to help Pakistan's own shipyard and repair their aircraft carrier. This is simply a slap in the face. Will the Navy regret it at this time?
