"We are Palestinian armed commandos. Now, we have controlled the Italian cruise ship Akile-Lauren. The passengers and crew on the ship are 413, all of which are hostages. We hope that Israel can release the 50 Palestinians imprisoned in Israeli prisons, including Lantisi, who were innocent."

The radio signal sent back through the Akilai-Laurent cruise ship shocked the whole world.

Terrorists hijacked a cruise ship and hoped that Israel would agree to their request!

When I received this news, the first thing I realized was Arafat, the leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. This behavior is an act that is condemned by the whole world. At any time, malicious attacks on civilian targets, including taking innocent civilians as hostages to threaten a certain government, are all terrorist acts. On this point, Arafat is very clear.

If you do that, you will be opposed by the whole world. It is not helping Palestine at all, it is only harming Palestine and making Palestine even more isolated from the world. In particular, there are not many Jews on the cruise ship they hijacked. Are they trying to internationalize the Palestinian issue? These idiots!

Fifteen minutes after receiving the news, Arafat made a speech, strongly condemning the atrocities. The kidnapping of civilians as hostages should never have happened. I hope that these armed personnel can recognize the situation, start from the overall situation, put down their weapons and surrender, unconditionally release all hostages, and declare that the PLO has nothing to do with this incident.

Half an hour after Arafat's speech, various Palestinian armed groups such as the "Palestine Democratic Front" and the "Palestine Liberation Front" declared that their organization had nothing to do with the incident and demanded the immediate release of hostages.

The terrorists are Palestinians, but they are definitely not planned by any Palestinian organization and have nothing to do with them!

Subsequently, Egypt, as the host, also issued a statement, after all, the ship was hijacked in the Egyptian waters, and Egypt also had its responsibility.

A spokesman for the Egyptian Ministry of Defense severely condemned the hijacking of the ship, hoping that the tragedy would end as soon as possible without bleeding. And, in the end, he also said that achieving just and comprehensive peace in the region is the best guarantee for ending all violence and anti-violence operations.

Egypt has no intention of using force, but hopes to put enough pressure on the terrorists to make them recognize the situation and surrender actively.

But the other two countries don’t think so.

One of them is Italy.

Palestinians are simply mad dogs! This is the original words of Prime Minister Clarksi in Italy. If you want Israel to release hostages, then you might as well take Israel's ships. Why do you want to hijack Italian cruise ships?

However, since it has bullied Italy, Italy will never let the terrorists go. If Israel rejects the terrorist's proposal and if the terrorist dares to attack the hostages, then Italy will use force to rescue the hostages!

Although Italy is not a very powerful country in Europe, it is also one of the three members of the Axis powers and has a strong sense of national glory.

The only weakness is that until now, all Italian troops, including special forces, have not conducted special training on counter-terrorist attacks, because now they are still training to deal with large-scale wars, but in later generations, when large-scale wars are no longer possible, terrorist attacks have become a test that they have to face.

In this regard, Kusai is the most forward-looking, and his special forces have begun training in counter-terrorist attacks.

Even so, Italy cannot show weakness! After urgent consultations, when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a harsh condemnation, demanding that terrorists must release hostages unconditionally, Defense Minister Spadolini has ordered the troops stationed in Sicily to enter the "first-level combat readiness". When necessary, they will act with force!

Another country that was even more touched was the United States!

When we learned that the Akilai had been hijacked, the United States held an emergency meeting because there were twelve Americans on it.

"Now, the Italian cruise ship has been hijacked. This is a vicious incident. We need to deal with it with the right attitude. We must not allow such terrorist actions to spread." Secretary of State George said.

The United States has already deeply understood this hostage-taking action. From the hostage incident at the Iranian embassy to civil aviation aircraft, every incident, Americans will always be victimized!

The first incident, because the United States did not handle it in time, led to President Carter's final resignation. The second time, the United States quickly took action, but McFarlane completed the task with the help of the Iraqis. What should the United States do this time?

"Have the hijacker's identity been investigated clearly?" President Reagan asked.

"Egypt is very cooperative. We investigated the information of all passengers on the cruise ship. Among them, there were four Palestinians, the most suspicious. They were the main force of this terrorist attack." William said.

"Which armed group do they belong to Palestinian?" Bush asked. Such an incident would definitely not be possible with just a few ordinary Palestinians. So, behind them, there must be a strict organization. Could it be Arafat?

"We have compared and confirmed that they are not part of any existing organization in Palestine so far," William said. "But you also know that the Palestinian issue is very complicated. There are five or six large organizations, and there are many small armed organizations. Maybe they do not belong to an existing organization in Palestine, but may be a newly established organization. Especially, their operation is mainly to allow the Israeli government to release Lantisi. We suspect that Lantisi may have secretly joined a newly created organization."

This was completely a coincidence and pushed Lantisi out because this was a leader in Israel's detention, who often held demonstrations. Israel did not know that Lantisi was preparing to jointly create the "Islamic Resistance Movement (that is, Hamas, which was famous in later generations)" with seven people including Sheikh Ahmed Yasin. This time, Mossad's misfortune made the United States believe more.

If the evidence is conclusive, the other party admits it himself, then it must be Palestinian!

"This time, we need to use our special forces to rescue our hostages! Resolve this crisis," said Secretary of Defense Weinberg.

The last time the Delta Special Forces failed to rescue Iranian hostages, it has been a shame for them, so they began to conduct this kind of training specifically. Now, five years have passed, the Delta Special Forces have formed a series of plans that can be used to solve this problem.

They need to use a successful action to wash away the original shame!

"Order our two aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean toward the Egyptian coastline, and we need to be able to use force to solve the problem at critical moments," said President Reagan. "Our special forces are ready to set out."

Although you don’t plan to use force to solve the problem, you still need to make this preparation, which can come in handy at critical moments.

The United States will never bow to terrorists! This is the usual style of the United States. No matter what the final real action is, at least it must be done with sufficient superficial effort.

"This time, it depends on what Israel's attitude is. If Israel can release those prisoners, perhaps the incident can be resolved smoothly." Secretary of State George continued.

After he said this, everyone knew what George really meant.

In the Middle East, Israel's existence is to restrain the surrounding Arab countries. The facts have now proved that Arab countries are the birthplace of terrorists. Israel's existence is very necessary for the United States. So, should the United States change its attitude towards Israel?

This incident made them realize that the United States’ Middle East policy should be firm and unshakable. For the Middle East, the United States needs checks and balances.

However, if Israel has deployed spies in the United States, if this matter goes by and the United States restores various exports to Israel, then the punishment will be too light? Everyone knows that this incident will eventually pass, and the United States and Israel will restore their previous relationship. After all, this is determined by the interests of the two countries. However, they all think that this time will take at least a year later.

Now, less than a month.

"Yes, it's time to look at Israel's attitude, but we also need to be prepared. We only believe in our own strength." President Reagan said at last.

President Reagan's words have many meanings. He is so scheming and concise, but the answers he has given are still ambiguous.

Everything depends on what Israel does. If Israel does well enough and publicity is enough, it can still offset the recent bad influence. At that time, the government will be able to make decisions without the pressure of public opinion.

While reviewing documents in his office, Kusai saw Yurid hurriedly walk in and said, "His Excellency the President, something big happened in Egypt. An Italian cruise ship was kidnapped by four Palestinian militants shortly after setting off in Alexandria, Egypt. He used more than 400 civilians on the ship as hostages, threatening the Israeli authorities to release a group of detained Palestinians."

Kusey's face changed: "Is it the Akilai Lauren?"

"President, do you know everything?" Yurid was very surprised.
