Chapter 501： low-spirited
Remember [Wind♂Rain÷Xiao☆Said※Net] in one second, and read wonderful novels for free without pop-up windows!
Far across the ocean, the United States, the White House.
The naval formation went to confront the Soviet aircraft carrier formation, but as a result, they were teased and applauded by the Soviet Navy again and again, especially the final battle for Bandar Abbas, which was simply a tease of Chi Guoguo!
It is now August 1980, and the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games has been completed in Moscow. In this Olympic Games, Soviet athletes won 80 gold medals, 69 silver medals and 46 bronze medals, ranking first among the teams. This is the most gold medals won by the Soviet Union in the Olympic Games since 1952, 50 more than the second-placed U.S. team! Of course, there is a reason for the referee to release water, but it also reflects that the Soviet Union has indeed reached the world's first position in sports.
The sports field is a war without gunpowder smoke, and the United States loses, but on the battlefield with gunpowder smoke, the United States loses even more.
"Now, the hmn government is still insisting in Tehran, but with the attack of the Iranian People's Liberation Army supported by the Soviet Union, it is conceivable that it will not take long for the current regime in Iran to change. Under the attack from both sides, the hmn government will fail. It's almost inevitable." Admiral Stein said, "We've made contact with hmn, but hmn doesn't trust us."
Carter sat there without saying a word.
For Carter, he was already on the last shift. Although the official U.S. election has not yet started, the polls have already begun. Unsurprisingly, Carter is almost the candidate with the lowest approval rate in the U.S. polls since the end of World War II! The deteriorating domestic economy, the comprehensive compromise on the outside, the mistakes of the Far East war, and the current corruption in the Middle East have made Americans completely lose confidence in Carter.
In his election speeches, Carter was greeted with shoes and rotten eggs almost every day. As a president, he was a failure.
Therefore, Carter's mental state is not good, he is in frustration.
"Mr. President?" Carter woke up from his mixed thoughts and saw that everyone was looking at him. He had to say that he just thought about it again.
"The problems we are facing now are very serious. In particular, we have lost two nuclear submarines, one at Chahbahar and Bandar Abbas. For our navy, these two submarines are of great importance and must be linked to the Soviet Union. People are coming back," said Defence Secretary Harold.
Needless to say, the shame of the Navy, three aircraft carriers have been dispatched, and this is the result! The first submarine was forced out of the water by the Soviets, almost as prisoners, and was tied to the port of Chakhbahar, while the second submarine, with the cooperation of surface ships, was searching for Soviet submarines. Being hit hard by someone! This bizarre accident made Western Europe laugh at it!
"Do the Soviets have anything to say?" Carter asked.
"The Soviet Union asked us to compensate us for the loss of the collision." Harold said: "The Soviets are simply taking advantage of the fire! They offered a compensation of 100 million US dollars! This is simply a lion's mouth! Although these two submarines will not be destroyed by the Soviet Union. People took it apart, but there is no doubt that the Soviets took advantage of this time to study our submarines carefully."
Now the two sides are not making trouble out of control. They are restraining each other. If they can fight, they will fight. If they can't fight, they will be reasonable. Now is the time to be reasonable. Unfortunately, the Soviets have been playing hooligans. Asking for a high price is to make the United States refuse to agree and argue with each other, and during this time, they can find out the secrets of their own Los Angeles-class submarines. This is also because these two ports do not have large-scale equipment, Otherwise, the Soviets would have dared to dismantle their own submarines!
"What about our personnel?" Carter said. "Even if the Soviets don't deliver our submarines first, the personnel will have to be repatriated to us, right?"
Carter already has the meaning of breaking the pot and breaking the jar. The problem of this submarine can be left for later, if not, it can be solved for the next one, as long as the person is brought back first! Otherwise, the families of those officers and soldiers would come out and make trouble every day, just like during the Vietnam War.
"We haven't asked separately." Harold said, in his eyes, of course, people and equipment have to come back together.
"Negotiate with the Soviets first and bring all our personnel back," Carter said. "Our people stay there, and we have to waste the Soviets' food, right? We can negotiate slowly about the submarine issue."
People first! Hearing Carter's words, Harold nodded: "Yes." Since the president authorized this, he will negotiate like this.
"The problem we have to deal with is not just our two submarines. The intention of the Soviet Union is now obvious, that is, to completely control Iran. In the past, we only thought that the Soviets were to gain access to the Indian Ocean to the south, but now It seems that controlling Iran is more attractive than gaining access to the south." Stein continued: "And the Soviet Union's tentacles in the Middle East are another major strategic mistake for us."
The hand of the Soviet Union has finally reached the Middle East! This is an important oil producing area in the world, and it is also a force that Americans have been working so hard to manage! Unfortunately, the fall of the Pahlavi regime turned Iran, an ally of the United States, into an enemy, and now, Iran is about to become the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union! This is the most important issue that the United States must face up to!
And now this problem is almost unsolvable! In particular, the current Carter government, which has lost its prestige, is even more of a problem!
"Warren, do you have any countermeasures?" Carter asked the Secretary of State. Diplomatic issues are the direction Warren is in charge of.
"If we really want to clean up this mess in Iran, there's only one way," Warren said. "Move the military in Europe and our homeland, go through Pakistan, land in Iran, and drive out the Soviets completely!"
In the past, Warren was the most anti-war one. Warren always hoped to solve problems through politics, instead of using his own military power whenever there was a problem. But now, the situation has reversed. Brzezinski and Harold, who had been clamoring for the use of force, did not speak. On the contrary, Warren, who had always advocated a diplomatic solution, proposed a solution by force!
"Warren, are you crazy? Now that eastern Iran is the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union, our direct confrontation with the Soviet Union will be the outbreak of the Third World War!" Brzezinski said.
"This is also our only chance." Warren said: "If we still can't summon the courage now, then we will lose the entire Middle East!"
In this Carter administration, the one with the most strategic vision was Secretary of State Warren. He was the only one who had a deep understanding of the current crisis. However, his words did not impress the depressed Carter. (To be continued.)
