When Nandao Xueji appeared beside Jing Jian with sleepy eyes, the sky was already dark, and Jing Jian was watching TV, yawning boredly.

The memory is not wrong, the history has not changed, it should be said that Jing Jian's butterfly wings are too small, and he has no ability to change the timeline here.

Unsurprisingly, after the deadline for the ultimatum had expired, Iraq had stubbornly refused to implement United Nations resolutions. Perhaps they consider themselves to be the third military power in the world (as if it is a tragedy that they boast of being the third military power in the world, and they are often immediately stripped of their pants and cannot be left), how can they inflict heavy casualties on the US-led coalition forces, and then negotiate a more favorable peace agreement.

It should be said that, judging by the written figures of equipment and troops, Iraq does not seem to be very weak, and it is also recognized by most of the military commentators around the world. Even the United States did not have much confidence, and before the war, it had prepared tens of thousands of body bags for itself. Believing that he will win, but also acknowledging that he is about to face a tough battle.

However, the U.S. government has not wavered in its determination to go to war. As soon as the deadline expired, President George H.W. Bush issued an order authorizing military action. At the same time, planes and cruise missiles taking off from the US mainland, military bases and aircraft carriers around the world began the first phase of strategic bombing, and more than 300 targets in 12 categories, including Iraq's leading organs, key production organizations, infrastructure facilities, and field forces, began to bombard indiscriminately.

However, friends who are interested in military affairs already know that this war is of epoch-making significance, and it is completely a revolution in information warfare, and the representative of this revolution is the strategic bombing six days before the start of the war. Although in the eyes of the people of the new century, the bombing at this time seems to be very "primitive," but when we think of how much of the military technology has been applied to the daily life of the present -- the command system has been transformed into a civilian Internet; the communication system has changed from the bulky octopus of the previous "Yangtze River, Yangtze River, and I am the Yellow River" to a mobile phone that everyone cannot live without; not to mention the positioning system......

It can be said that the high technology in it has completely turned the human world upside down.

In addition, the outcome of the war shook the world as well. When the number of troops and heavy weapons (not taking into account the generation difference here) on both sides was basically equal, until Iraq's unconditional surrender, Iraq's command and control system was completely paralyzed in the 38-day air assault, the Iraqi army was completely defeated on all fronts, and 29 divisions lost their combat capability.

And in the midst of the war, there was also a little tidbit that made people laugh. At the very beginning of the war, the Iraqi Air Force fled Iran on a large scale. I wonder if Iran was speechless when it saw Iraqi warplanes, which had been a sworn enemy a few years earlier, landed at their airfield?

By the end of the war, the Iraqi army had suffered about 100,000 casualties (20,000 of them dead), 175,000 prisoners, and lost the vast majority of tanks, armored vehicles and aircraft. The US military had only 148 killed (138 non-combat deaths) and 458 wounded (2,978 non-combat wounded). Other countries lost 192 killed and 318 wounded. Such a disparity in the casualty ratio can no longer be described as "beating a kindergarten friend".

……

For Jing Jian at this time, of course he knew what the result was. The reason why I watched the live broadcast all night today with great interest is nothing more than a certain feeling of witnessing a historical moment.

However, when it came time to watch CNN live, I couldn't help but be disappointed. In fact, the real live broadcast picture is quite blurry, nothing more than in the excited shouting of the live host, a firework in the east and a firework in the west, and the scene is not understood at all. In particular, Jing Jian also watched the highlights of the Gulf War in his previous life, which is called wonderful, and there is also a clear explanation as hindsight. Compared with the current live broadcast screen, it is completely a sky and a place.

Jing Jian also began to yawn constantly, ready to turn off the TV to end this boredom. But Nandao Xueji was confused and interested: "Eh, Jing Sang, what kind of war movie is this?

Looking at the curious and cute appearance of the Nandao Xueci kitten, Jing Jianle said: "It's not a movie, it's news." The United States is carrying out air strikes against Iraq. ”

"Ah, is the news?is this now?" Nanjima Yukiji was surprised, "Why are they fighting?"

Jing Jian was speechless, and it took a long explanation to make the beauty in front of him understand the general situation. Unlike the common people in China, who are accustomed to news broadcasts and have some understanding of international news, in Europe and the United States, except for those elites, ordinary people never care about anything other than paparazzi news, and TV stations do not broadcast much.

Of course, this is especially true for women. To be honest, in the American media news, the proportion of international and domestic news is relatively large, but the few cousins around Jing Jian are still indifferent, and they may not perform much better than Nandao Xueci. Where is it like in China, before the Gulf War, military magazines in the major newsstands were already overwhelming.

After Jing Jian finished speaking, Nandao Xueji nodded as if he didn't understand: "So that's the case, that Iraqi president is a warmonger, and the United States deserves to be the leader of defending world peace." ”

Jing Jian was speechless. That's all for the previous sentence, what the hell is that sentence "the United States defends world peace"?

"Eh!" Nandao Xueji suddenly smiled, as if he was happy for Jing Jian, "Jing Sang, is that the price of oil going to rise? No wonder you are mining oil here." ”

"Ahem. Jing Jian couldn't help it, and told Nandao Xueji a very "unfortunate" news, "In fact, today's oil prices are falling sharply." ”

After the start of the war, Jing Jian had spoken with the United States on the phone. As in memory, oil futures began to fall sharply after a brief rise. Maybe the market has already digested all the bad news. When the war really started, it released all the pressure, and it also reflected investors' confidence in the victory of the US-led coalition.

"Huh?" suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, and Yuki Minajima was quite surprised, "That...... That ......"

Jing Jian couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, what I bought in the futures market is also down, so I made a little profit." "It's a little bit, that's seven or eight million dollars. Although he can't make up for his own financial gap, it is still quite cool to show off the inferior nature of men in front of beautiful women.

"Huh?" Nandao Yuki covered his face with surprise, and that expression made Jing Jian feel extremely comfortable. Seeing that Jing Jian gradually smiled, Nandao Xueji also laughed, she patted Jing Jian lightly, and her winkling eyes rolled, "Giggles, Jing Sang, you are so bad!"
