The previous bombings mainly used visual aiming to bomb the ground. Because of the lack of advanced airborne computers and other equipment, they had to rely on the bombardier's technology.
But now, the development of airborne computer technology has been very mature. In many cases, bombers launch cruise missiles, and there is no need to look at them. Even ordinary bombs and sophisticated airborne computers have long been calculated.
Therefore, the position of the navigator and bomber no longer needs to be in the nose.
For the B-52 bomber, the crew normally consists of 5 people. The pilot and co-pilot sit in the bubble-shaped cockpit of the nose before and after, divided into 12 panes. The navigator and radar operator sit side by side on the lower deck of the nose. The tail gunner sits in a separate cockpit at the end of the fuselage.
The position of the tail gunner is the most deceptive. You must have someone who has practiced Jiu-Jitsu to get in. It is too small.
At the same time, it's actually unnecessary. The self-defense cannon at the rear is just a symbolic one. Relying on it to drive out enemy aircraft, it's basically the way it was played during World War II.
The bomber was slowly approaching and approaching, and he could see the huge canyon below. Mark's body also trembled slightly. He knew that the most exciting time was coming.
Kalori participated in the Vietnam War and carried out many bombings. This is the first time for Mark. As long as he presses the button, countless bombs will fall down. Along the valley, the Soviet tank troops below , It's a mess!
At this time, in the canyon, the Soviet army, unable to advance or retreat, could not see the bombers in the sky because they were blocked by both sides of the canyon, but the tanks that had gone out could be clearly seen.
The American bombers are here, and soon, there will be terrible bombs that will fall down like rain!
The biggest feature of carpet bombing is its intensiveness. At night, so many F-4 fighters dived and there were not many bombs that fell into the canyon. But now, once the B-52 starts bombing, I don’t know how many bombs can fall. Come, they are in danger!
The bomber is still flying, and Mark is already waiting for the final order to come.
Even Calori held his breath, ahead, about to reach the target location, ready to drop the bomb!
When the order to drop the bombs is issued, the hatch in the belly of the plane will open, and the bombs will roll down from the bomb bay just like a dump truck unloading, like rain.
However, at this moment, a command came from his headset: "Weasel, weasel, the mission is cancelled, please return immediately, please return immediately."
what? Mission cancelled
You take off your pants, just show me this
Calori was quite unhappy. The order was given, which was simply too unexpected. In the next second, he was about to start bombing!
The tankers below, looking at the B-52 overhead in surprise, suddenly turned and flew away, giving up bombing here. They were also extremely surprised. What happened
No one knows what happened. Those who know are constantly cursing in their hearts. How could they be blind and push such a weak and incompetent president
Carter's coming to power was full of contempt for soldiers and aversion to violence. When Carter, the pacifist, came to power, we should put it in a larger context.
At that time, the U.S. military team was in the quagmire of war. They lost their faith. Why should I fight? Why die in Vietnam? What does this have to do with the United States
A war that has nothing to do with the United States has caused heavy losses to the United States. The deaths of countless soldiers have made civilians doubt the justice of the war.
So Carter came to power. After he came to power, he began to withdraw troops from Vietnam. We cannot use violence. We want peace. This is Carter's belief.
And now, this belief has worked again.
Two hours ago.
"Mr. President, please see the Soviet ambassador." Just because of the sudden and bold military action of the Soviets in Hokkaido, there is a risk of occupying the entire Hokkaido. In this case, Carter has been messed up and he doesn't know what to do. Done.
And now, the Soviet ambassador actually came to see me, so President Carter didn't hesitate to say, "Let him come and see me!"
Once, the Soviet ambassador to the United States had a very powerful presence. His ability was unmatched, that of Gromyko. After becoming the Soviet ambassador to the United States, he went back to serve as the People’s Commissar for Foreign Affairs, that is, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Role.
And Gromyko's successor, in fact, is not weak.
Anatoly Feodorovich Dobrynin, an outstanding Soviet diplomat, and he was a monk halfway through.
Dobrynin was born in a workers' family in Moscow region in November 1919. After graduating from university in 1942, he became a designer of the Jacques Aircraft Factory. In the summer of 1944, the 25-year-old Dobrynin was sent to study at the Foreign Affairs University. In September 1952, the 32-year-old Dobrynin was sent to the United States as a counselor. Since then, he has been stationed in the United States almost permanently. Relying on outstanding judgment and mediation skills, he was promoted to the rank of Minister Counsellor.
Originally an engineering student, by mistake, he became a diplomat, but it was the terrible historical event that made him stand alone.
In 1962, 42-year-old Dobrynin was appointed as the ambassador to the United States. At that time, the Cuban Missile Crisis was before him!
The U.S. aircraft carrier formation just wandered off Cuba’s waters and could evolve into a world war at any time. After Dobrynin came to power, he successfully mediated and resolved the Cuban missile crisis. Since then, Dobrynin has been Become a firefighter.
The Soviet invasion of the Czech crisis, the crisis in the Middle East, the crisis in Vietnam, and later the crisis in Afghanistan, the crisis in which the Soviet Union shot down a Korean passenger plane, the reduction of nuclear weapons between the United States and the Soviet Union and various summits, etc., he experienced too much, from Khrushchev to Gorba All of the six leaders of Coff were Dobrynin as ambassadors in the United States and coordinated.
At the same time, Dobrynin also established deep personal relationships with six US presidents and seven secretaries of state.
In the past, Soviet diplomats always held the ideology of exporting revolution, and could only act as a microphone for Moscow, and could not play a buffer role at all. And Dobrynin has excellent insight into American society and American thinking, let the other party believe in himself, and then find a solution to the problem.
But this time, Dobrynin came to fight the fire again, and the military operations in Hokkaido were out of play!
So far, the Soviets have won victory. They landed in Hokkaido, gained territory in the eastern part of Hokkaido, and connected with the four northern islands. In this way, a good access to the sea has been established.
Although I wanted to occupy the entire island at the beginning, it now appears that if you don't take the initiative to show good things, the army in the valley may be wiped out, but two divisions! If something goes wrong, the Soviet Union has no choice but to declare war on the United States.
The purpose of the Soviet Union was to occupy Hokkaido, not to detonate a world war. Now, it is time to stop! (End of this chapter)
