The Bosphorus Bridge was bombed! The news reached the White House almost immediately.
When he heard the news, Reagan only felt his arm, trembling involuntarily, and couldn't even hold the cigar in his hand.
Asia-Europe Bridge! This bridge is a channel connecting Europe and Asia, and it is also a necessary channel for mobilizing troops and logistics from Europe to support the troops entering Iraq! The fact that our own troops were able to quickly appear in northern Iraq was due to this bridge!
And now, the bridge is bombed! By ferry, the efficiency will be greatly reduced! And the front-line army will be slow to move due to lack of supplies!
Although Reagan never commanded the army, he also knew what it meant, and the situation facing him would be even more critical!
"This is a total act of war!" said Defense Minister Weinberger: "The Soviets dared to use cruise missiles to attack the bridge in neutral Turkey! This is a declaration of war on Turkey and on the entire NATO!"
Of course this is an act of war! If a meteorite fell from the sky and smashed the bridge, Turkey would have swallowed its teeth, and now what? Totally a Soviet attack! This is the same as when the island nation attacked Pearl Harbor without declaring war!
This method is extremely bad, and it has exceeded the limit of our own tolerance. If we do not support Turkey behind our backs, then the value of the existence of the United States will be gone!
Dark clouds shrouded the White House, shrouded the whole world, and everyone present felt the seriousness of the matter. Is this the beginning of the Third World War?
"Bang." At this moment, the door of the oval-table conference room was opened, and Secretary of State George hurried in: "I have given the toughest diplomatic note to the Soviet Union."
"What did the Soviets say?" Reagan asked. The attitude of the Soviets is very important. If the Soviets have a tough attitude and claim that they deserved the bombing of Turkey, then war is coming! If the Soviets say that this was an accidental shot of one of their exercises, it means that the Soviets do not want to make a standoff, and they still have room for relaxation. If...
"The Soviets are very angry, saying that we are slandering, throwing dirty water on them, and they say that they have never thought of hitting this bridge." George said angrily: "This is just lying! If it wasn't a cruise missile launched by the Soviets, who else could have done that?"
Although it was dark when the bridge was blown up, although the incoming missile was always flying at ultra-low altitude, and although the radar along the coast did not detect it, even if you think with your butt, you can know that it was a cruise missile launched by the Soviets. Blow up this bridge! And now, the Soviets actually refuse to admit it!
"The Soviets said that if they wanted to blow up the bridge, when their fleet passed by during the day, the naval guns would bombard it. Since they didn't attack the bridge during the day, it would be even more impossible for them at night. They wanted us to take it. Come up with evidence, or go to the United Nations to sue us for slander. Saying that this bridge is a **** project, the bridge was broken due to overloaded operation due to the passage of heavy troops.” George continued.
CIA Director William's eyebrows suddenly moved. The Soviets did not want to make a fuss about it. Obviously, they didn't want to tear their face.
During the day, Turkey blocked the Soviet fleet. For Mao Xiong, who never wanted to suffer, he must teach Turkey a lesson. In order to protect Turkey, the United States also made great efforts to deploy more anti-aircraft missile units and air forces. However, no one expected that the Soviets' revenge would be to blow up the bridge.
Killing two birds with one stone, in addition to retaliating against Turkey, they also cut off their own transportation lines. It will be much more difficult for them to transport supplies to the frontline battlefield. At the same time, the Soviets were out of breath by hitting this cruise missile, and they didn't want to further intensify the conflict.
Otherwise what? Is there really a third world war? The Soviet Union certainly does not want to see this, so their statement is so intriguing.
And the United States, now can not fight the third world war! Because, now Europe is very empty! The main force came to the Middle East to fight, and the defense of the European frontline was stretched. If a world war really starts at this time, it will definitely not be able to stop the torrent of the Soviets' rolling armor!
You must know that we have mobilized so many troops, but the Soviet troops in Eastern Europe have not moved at all, and they have always been fully loaded! The West wins by the quality of equipment, but now it seems that the Soviets' ground forces are superior to their own in both quantity and quality!
If the war really starts, it will be unfavorable to the United States. Maybe the United States will leave the whole of Europe and leave at most one Britain!
However, if you agree with this statement of the Soviets, then you have to swallow this breath abruptly? After the Soviets, must they be more arrogant?
As a well-thought-out intelligence officer, William quickly analyzed the correlation, and all the veteran politicians present were cursing, and they quickly thought of the reason for all this.
Before the United States, it seems that there are only two ways. Either reveal the lies of the Soviets, salvage the fragments of the Soviet cruise missiles, prove that the Soviets did it, and do justice to Turkey. And this result is likely to be the beginning of the war.
Either it agrees with the Soviet Union's statement, sacrifices Turkey's interests, and believes that the bridge breakage this time was not a missile attack by the Soviets, but a defect in the bridge itself. And the result of this is that the United States has completely lost its dignity!
How to choose is a difficult problem!
When William looked up, he saw that Reagan was still smoking his cigar, looking out the window at the leaves and birds, and said nothing.
Although he is an actor, Reagan's will is very firm, and it is definitely not easy to step by step to the position of president through the election. How should he deal with this problem? And now, facing the messy Middle East battlefield, how should he end?
"It's not good, it's not good!" At this moment, Baker, the director of the White House Office of Staff, rushed in in a panic. He was always calm and pale, and his face was pale.
"What's wrong?" asked Bush, who has been silent all the time. He also knows that he is facing a difficult problem and has almost no solution. This is already the most troublesome. Is there any worse news than this?
"Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, was captured by the Iraqi army! The Saudi royal family, the Saudi royal family..."
"What happened to the Saudi royal family?" Reagan asked. (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
