Along the glide line, skillfully enter the correct channel, almost without the command of the ship's director, every time Nathan lands is full score.
The fighter slammed heavily on the deck, then hooked on the second blocking cable and stopped. After the blocking cable was released, Nathan parked the aircraft with the help of the deck personnel.
The scenes where everyone lifted up and threw them into the sky after returning from victory are all in the movie, because when Nathan came back after doing so many important things, only the bridge knew the people on the deck, the various divisions. In his job, he is busy at work, and if he is slightly distracted, there may be accidents.
The second Tomcat also landed, and Nathan took Guth and the other poplar crew towards the bridge.
"Nathan, well done." People who met along the way kept saying hello to Nathan, they knew what Nathan did.
In one attack, the missiles Nathan mounted were almost empty. It can be said that the last day, millions of dollars were gone, but a MiG-25 fighter came back!
At the time of the final statistics, the Navy’s contribution was indispensable. If the Navy’s Phoenix had not taken the lead in killing the missile launched by the other party, Belenko would have been shot down long ago, just like the history of the Red Soviet Union.
And now, although Belenko had something wrong when he landed, but overall, it was still intact.
The United States won this round, and Nathan contributed a lot.
"Nathan, I did a good job this time." After entering the bridge, he changed into his flight suit, put on his normal suit, and entered the flight duty room. Petropaoli said to Nathan.
Upon hearing this, Nathan simply said briefly: "I'm still worried about being grounded."
This sentence was merciless, and it made Petropaoli's face embarrassed. This guy is really too difficult to control, but he still wants to be able to honor the naval aviation and have a long face.
Sitting down, Petropaoli began to analyze: "Today we successfully completed the protection mission. The Soviet pilot Belenko, who defected, has landed in Hokkaido. Now, let's discuss the follow-up situation."
Belenko’s defection can be said to be a tie between the United States and the Soviet Union. If the Soviets do not return the EP-3, then the United States will not return the MiG-25. At the same time, there are also the above personnel issues, if the Soviets want to use it. The crew of EP-3 came to exchange Belenko. What should the United States do
This matter is more difficult than in history.
"Nathan, what do you think?"
Petropaoli is now more and more in love with his capable man. Now, Petropaoli wants to consult Nathan to see if Nathan has any ideas.
Nathan is also unceremonious: "The landing of Belenko is of great significance to us. We can grasp the performance of this fighter and no longer fear it. For the Soviets, this fighter It has been decrypted, and it will definitely be released in the future."
This is obvious. Historically, the MiG-25 was humiliated because of Belenko’s defection, and at the same time it was exported in large quantities because it had been decrypted. It was still beneficial to become the main force in some countries.
"At the same time, we can also see that the Soviets have suffered a loss this time, and they will definitely not give up easily, especially since we shot down one of their MiG-25s. Therefore, I think we must prepare to deal with large-scale In the future, we will have more exciting military conflicts."
Nathan's tone of voice was ridiculous, but when he finished speaking, Petropaoli was in a heavy heart.
Nathan was right.
Nathan and Petropaoli saw the difference. Petropaoli saw the exchange of military aircraft between the two sides. From a more political perspective, such as the members of the exchange group, it would have a great impact. Lian Ke switched back, then who would dare to fly a plane to defect? If they don’t change it, should the American units stay in the Soviet Union forever
This is a difficult problem.
And these problems are not in Nathan's eyes at all, and Nathan sees the situation more complicated.
The Soviets have suffered, and the Soviets will never let go. So, what's next? Will a larger-scale military conflict break out? So, will it become a prelude to the Third World War
From a political point of view, the United States is now breaking away from the quagmire of the Vietnam War, and the anti-war sentiment in the United States is high. It is not suitable for a large-scale military conflict with the Soviet Union.
However, if the Soviets took action and even flew over Hokkaido to demonstrate, then the United States had to deal with it tough, otherwise, the domestic scolding the army would be even worse.
What should I do next
"Nathan, how big is the scale?" Petrobori asked.
"The last time there was a conflict with the Far East Military Region, a fierce duel broke out over Hokkaido. The Soviets dispatched a whole regiment of MiG-25. This time, the Soviets will definitely be larger." Nathan said: "Specifically. I can’t guess what the situation is. It may be hundreds of fighters, or their warships may be dispatched."
Nathan really can’t guess it, because this is different from all the history. The worst case is that the Soviet fleet conducts exercises in the Sea of Japan, and even the exercises are transformed into cross-sea landing island nations. However, this requires the mobilization of troops and requires War mobilization seems impossible.
Moreover, now that the Soviet Union looks aggressive, in fact, it has begun to decay.
"However, if you don't want the conflict to intensify, I have a good idea." Nathan thought for a while and continued: "We salvaged the plane that crashed into the sea and gave it to the Soviets as a defector. If we can If the parachuting pilot is rescued, he can be regarded as Belenko and exchanged with the Soviets for our people."
Of course Nathan knew what Petrobori's worries were. He deliberately put it at the end, making the other party anxious for a while, and now he said his own countermeasures.
The civet cat for the prince!
The two exchanges, it must be one hand to pay, the other hand to deliver goods, and start at the same time, take the pilot who fell into the water, pretend to be Belenko, and return it to the Soviets
At that time, the Soviets discovered that something was wrong, and their own side insisted that it was this guy who brought the plane over. What can the Soviets do
The feasibility is high.
"Well, Nathan, I will send your suggestion to Lieutenant General Paul." Petrobori said.
It's just that it's difficult to search for a parachuting pilot and salvage a fighter plane in the vast ocean, and now, if you want to follow Nathan's plan, you must be fast.
Of course, there are also advantages. At least when Ivanov was parachuting, the island country was relatively close. (End of this chapter)
