It can be said that the recent Nathan seems to be having a great time in Hollywood, surrounded by beautiful girls, surrounded by friends, writing scripts, eating, drinking and having fun, seems very happy.
However, such Nathan is not the real Nathan, but like a Nathan with a broken can, a pilot flying in the blue sky, a fighter fighting in the blue sky, it is absolutely impossible to become an actor.
The fighting spirit in Nathan's heart has begun to slowly recover.
Emily looked at Nathan’s expression and was very happy. She was familiar with Nathan. Such a look was often seen before. For the first time, when I was in Alaska, I saw Nathan at first sight. Attracted by the monstrous fighting spirit ignited in Nathan's eyes, this is a man who will not give up under any circumstances.
Now, this look is back.
Nathan said to Emily: "Of course there are ways, but I am just a retired naval aviation pilot. I can't reach the top. If I choose, I will transfer our A-10 as soon as possible. The attack aircraft force, mobilize to the island country."
The Americans have never thought of using armored forces against armored forces. The characteristic of the Soviets is that they are not afraid of death, but the United States can't.
Especially in the 1960s, the Warsaw Pact countries headed by the Soviet Union strengthened the construction of armored forces, and the entry of T-62 and T-** into service strengthened the Warsaw Pact’s quantitative and qualitative advantages over NATO in terms of tanks.
The pressure on NATO is even greater. In view of the good performance of the A-1 in the Vietnam War, the US Air Force envisages replacing it with a new close support aircraft.
In 1966, the U.S. Air Force proposed the AX plan based on the experience and lessons learned from the A-1 attack aircraft in the Vietnam War in order to replace the former. Based on pre-research, the Air Force has defined several goals for the AX aircraft: high combat effectiveness, strong survivability, simplicity, flexible response, low price, large ammunition load, and ability to take off and land on the frontline runway with good reliability and Maintainability and strong mobility.
Later, several companies participated in the bidding, and Fairchild Company also joined in and developed the YA-10A prototype. According to the requirements of the US Air Force, they listed the cost as the priority design orientation. In addition, its performance orientations are: protection, anti-armor and target attack power, target search capability, short take-off and landing, high dispatch rate and low maintenance cost, convenience of ground handling, and convenience of production.
After a comprehensive comparison and appraisal of 284 flight hours, in January 1973, the U.S. Air Force announced the victory of Fairchild's YA-10A.
At the end of 1974, the A-10 was approved for production. The pre-production A-10 flew for the first time in February 1975. The first production aircraft began to fly on October 21, and the air force began to be equipped in the same year.
In order to commemorate the outstanding P-47 "Raiden" fighter designed and produced by the company's predecessor Republic during World War II, Fairchild Company called another post-war masterpiece "Raiden" II. However, looking at its unique appearance, some people are willing to call it a warthog.
Although the appearance is ugly, this aircraft is a very important model of the U.S. Air Force. Whether it is the F-15 and F-16 capable of precision strikes, or the armed helicopter that can capture Kazuki's high superiority, they are not effective. To deal with the ground forces that use terrain to cover, they can't even be put into use. Only this kind of sturdy and durable aircraft often flies back with dozens of bullet holes.
This aircraft is specifically designed to attack ground targets, especially tank troops. As long as this force is mobilized, it can delay the opponent's actions.
According to the plan of the Soviets, they like to operate at night, just to let the A-10 show its power and establish the unshakable status of this kind of aircraft.
This was Nathan's first thought.
Of course, his idea is not limited to this one, Major Nathan has many ideas, which are very famous in the entire army.
"At the beginning, the Soviets brazenly used tactical nuclear weapons and exploded the towering rocks on the coast as landing sites. Then, we can also imitate the actions of the Soviets at that time and use tactical nuclear weapons to blow up nearby mountains and fill up valleys completely. The ground constitutes an encirclement, preventing them from getting out."
If you look from the sky, you can clearly see that almost all of Hokkaido is high mountains. It is not easy for Soviet armored forces to charge on this type of terrain.
It was a shame that the U.S. Army lost the battle.
Ordinary bombs can’t work. They are not powerful enough. They must use tactical nuclear weapons. Now the Soviet-occupied area and the island army’s defense line are separated from the north-south high mountains, only some small roads in the valley, no matter how the Soviets protect them. , Would not have expected the use of tactical nuclear weapons.
Just like they can blow up the rocks on the beach and slip into a slope, they can also blow up the mountains on both sides of the valley, blocking the valley, and there is no road to pass, as long as their tanks can’t get out. Then all the plans can't be implemented.
Thinking of this, Nathan smiled on his face, yes, just do it!
However, Emily did not laugh: "Nathan, do we have a low-cost solution? For example, it can be done by dispatching a few CIA agents, or we can find some islanders to commit the crime and say they killed it. Soviet workers, hand it over to the Soviets, and they have no reason."
After hearing Emily’s words, Nathan thought of something. All of his plans above must be approved by Congress and approved by the President, especially the plan that uses tactical nuclear weapons. How could his peace-loving president agree to it? ? Even if he lost Hokkaido, he was unwilling to do that. He would not sprinkle salt on the wounds of the island nation. At the end of World War II, he threw a nuclear bomb on the island nation. Now he wants to throw it again. How can he bear it
Emily's idea is for the lower CIA to save the situation, but how easy is it to say
Yes, the excuse for the Soviets to dispatch the army was to find criminals and avenge their killed Soviet workers. Although the Soviet workers made mistakes and never committed the crime, they used this rhetoric to start wars.
The criminals are in Sapporo! They will rush to Sapporo.
The criminals are in Tokyo! They will also rush to Tokyo.
So, now that the CIA finds the criminals and hand them over to the Soviets, can it turn the fighting into jade
Of course not!
You take off your pants, just show me this? The army is ready, and there is nothing to say. It must act. When the time comes, it will be beaten even if it is torn. People will be ready long ago.
Emily's thoughts are a bit naive. How can this be possible to let the CIA turn the tide! The Soviets are now sharpening their swords. Historically, the Soviets agreed and passed the war plan to invade Afghanistan.
and many more!
Nathan caught this idea keenly, as if he had a new way! (End of this chapter)
