Red Soviet Union

In the past few years, the United States has indeed been patient. Even if it invested in the army, at the last moment, it still did not have the courage to fight a world war.

And the result of this forbearance? This is the current situation in the United States, and the sphere of influence of the United States has been eroded step by step. Up to now, the Soviets have actually taken the idea of ​​​​Western Europe and have begun to attack Germany!

Western Europe is very important to the United States, because they belong to the Western world, so the United States must ensure that Western Europe and the United States are of one mind, so that every time the United States has an economic crisis, it can cut the wool of Western Europe and pass it on to itself economic problems. If there is no Western Europe and the decline of the United States, it is absolute. The United States will retreat to the American continent and become an ordinary country, not a superpower!

America can't wait any longer! This is Bush's firm opinion. If he tolerates it any longer, the United States will have no room for survival!

Yes, we can't bear it any longer. I suggest that we can fight a low-intensity battle in Western Europe with the goal of quelling this rebellion in Western Europe. Secretary of Defense Weinberg also said: If things turn into World War, then we have to fight, we can no longer hesitate!

World War, what are you afraid of! Every time I was afraid, every time I flinched, and the result?

Everyone, I hope you can recognize the status quo. If we want to fight a world war, will other countries in Western Europe agree? Secretary of State George said: France is an example. Europeans always think about them first.

George's opinion is very clear, don't fight!

In fact, judging from the comparison of forces, the current military strength of Europe is inferior to that of the East in the West. In a real fight, the West will not take any advantage! The United States can see it, and other countries can see it too!

Why didn't France send troops? Why dawdle? It is because the French already want to stay out of it! They are unwilling to put their troops into this war that is destined to fail!

To start a war is to win. If you know that you can't win and start a war, you are just a complete war madman!

George's attitude was stark.

George, it's because of a coward like you that we are gradually losing our sphere of influence! Bush unceremoniously fired at George: Go to hell and win or not. If we don't fight this battle, then the United States will It’s all over, if this battle continues, at least we still have hope, and it will turn into a nuclear war at worst!”

Regarding Bush's swearing, George was also tit-for-tat: President Bush, you are not a low-level soldier. It can be said that you are not afraid of sacrifice and can face death. You are the vice president of the United States. You have to consider the interests of the entire United States! If we All the people are dead, is this country still alive?

So what if the human race is extinct? Let's meet God together! Bush continued to shout.

Reagan felt that his head was about to explode. He looked at the rest of the people. Except for Bush and George who were scolding each other, the others were silent.

Casey, has the CIA found anything? Can our lost satellites be repaired? Reagan asked CIA Director William Casey.

Casey shook his head: Our Challenger has already lifted off. Just an hour ago, they just captured a satellite with a robotic arm. The satellite is not an ordinary circuit failure. The entire satellite, from front to back, They were all burnt through a hole and completely destroyed.

Challenger! The second space shuttle of the United States, the construction of this space shuttle began last year, and the first launch is planned to be carried out in April this year. However, because of the economic downturn in the United States, the costly space activities have also begun Being criticized by the public, the first flight of this space shuttle has been continuously postponed. Until now, when facing a huge crisis, this space shuttle was launched into orbit!

Rewind four hours in time, Florida, Kennedy Space Center.

It's just dusk,

Looking out from the porthole of the space shuttle, you can see the last round of red sun on the horizon, and the seven astronauts lying sideways on the seats, everyone is very excited.

This is the first flight of the Challenger. Since the United States developed the space shuttle, they can fly seven people into space at a time. Compared with the previous three people, their number is more, and at the same time, they can carry out more space activities. .

The huge fuel tank is mounted on the outside, and there are boosters at both ends. Commander Stafford is already an experienced old astronaut. He was once the commander on the Apollo spacecraft, and , he was also a cosmonaut well known by the Soviets.

Just a few years ago, Stafford had piloted a spaceship and achieved the first handshake in space with a Soviet Soyuz spacecraft. This was a historic breakthrough. Take advantage of the outer space argument.

However, these are all lies, the competition in outer space is still more intense, and now, they rush into space to repair the satellites that suddenly failed to provide services to Europe!

With the sound of the countdown in the earphones, everyone took a deep breath. When the sound counted to zero, under the huge space shuttle, three main engines were ignited, two boosters were ignited, and the hot flames , shrouded the entire launch pad, trembling slightly, the space shuttle began to take off!

The body was trembling constantly, and under the huge overload, everyone's face became a little hideous, but fortunately, this time was not long.

The booster is separated, the main fuel tank is separated, the tail engine has been turned off, and the space shuttle has entered orbit!

The body, feeling light and floating, is already in the weightless space! From here, you can see the edge of the earth, that beautiful arc.

The others unbuckled their seat belts and began to float toward the rear cabin. At the same time, Stafford remained on the seat, looking out at the dark night sky through the porthole.

On the display screen, the data is constantly being updated, and on the other side of Stafford, the driver Colin is still operating nervously.

Originally, the space shuttle is actually self-piloted. When it takes off, it does not need to be operated. After entering orbit, it flies autonomously. After returning to the atmosphere, manual intervention is required to land.

But now, Colin has to drive the space shuttle and make several difficult orbit changes before he can get close to the orbit of one of his own satellites, capture the damaged satellite, and check whether it can be repaired.

This is a dangerous task. Historically, the Challenger was also the first to complete it. However, that was in April 1984, and now it is nearly a year earlier!
