Volume VII Chapter 941 The Reaction of the Nations
readx;
When the whistling over the Persian Gulf passed away, and calm returned to this once-prosperous shipping lane, people all over the world could not help but ask:
"Is the war over?"
Just yesterday, some Western countries were clamoring to send troops into the Middle East and into the Persian Gulf, but when the warplanes whistling over the Persian Gulf disappeared, it was as if they had never appeared before. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
On February 15, local time, when the sun was slowly setting in the western sky, the United Air Force and the US Air Force both withdrew their aircraft groups as if they had a tacit understanding, leaving only a big question mark for the countless spies around the Persian Gulf.
Is this war over? Who won the war?
If this answer was for the Americans to answer, then he must have red eyes on his neck, his hands clenched into fists and waving in the sky, while spitting stars flying and roaring, "No...... The United States did not lose. ”
If the answer was for the Joint Air Force to answer, then he must have replied weakly with a reluctant smile, "Yes...... We didn't win. ”
On the day of 15 May alone, in the air battles that broke out in many battlefields over the Persian Gulf, the two sides deployed a total of more than 180 fighters of various types, and in the past day, the wreckage of fighters left in the icy seabed of the Persian Gulf reached 74.
The two days of the Second Persian Gulf War, known to the world as the Second Persian Gulf War, were the largest air battles that broke out since World War II, and they were also the fiercest and most tragic air battles.
And this air battle is remembered by future generations because in this air war, the world's aviation history has undergone a revolutionary change.
The transition from conventional jet power to nuclear power, from hypersonic cruise, supersonic cruise to hypersonic cruise, etc., has special significance for the history of aviation in later generations.
…… At the Elysee Palace, French President Nicolas Sarkozy is frowning and wondering whether to take advantage of the war in the Persian Gulf to carry out the 'Odyssey Dawn' operation to obtain Libya's oil resources for France.
For the Third OECD and the United States in the Persian Gulf war, the French political axe is very happy to see, no matter who the two sides are, they are potential enemies of France, can make a 'dog eat dog' war weaken the two sides, for the French political axe, there is no doubt that the gospel of God will come to France.
Although after the United States entered the war, the French political axe also announced that it was on the side of the Americans, but Sarkozy did not plan to really send troops to the Persian Gulf to participate in the war, he still waited and watched, for France, the most important thing at present is not to participate in the Persian Gulf war, but Libya, how to oust Gaddafi's talented man from power, and occupy Libya's oil resources, which has become an important link in France's 'Mediterranean plan'.
However, just before he could make up his mind, the Minister of Intelligence brought him bad news.
The Persian Gulf War is over?
"The Americans have won!" Sarkozy asked with a star, although it was an inquiry, but Sarkozy used an affirmative tone, in his subconscious, the Americans won the Persian Gulf War for a certain amount, and the biggest problem was the size of the loss.
"Mr. President, the Americans did not win." The intelligence minister hurriedly explained, "The warring parties have now ceased fighting, and we don't know at this time whether they will resume the war." ”
The intelligence minister's answer made Sarkozy look smirked, and this was not good news. What does this mean? It shows that the joint air force of the third OECD is very powerful, otherwise even the Americans would not have won the war, and if further analysis shows that the main force of the joint air force still exists, and if the French political axe attacks Libya at this time, it may directly confront the joint air force.
Can the United Air Force, which is comparable to the Americans, compare it with the French Air Force? Sarkozy was at a loss.
"Why is this happening?" Sarkozy couldn't help but ask.
This result is really surprising, as far as he knows, in order to win this war, the Americans can mobilize a considerable amount of air power, as well as carrier-based aircraft.
Why did the Joint Air Force tie with the Americans?
"Mr. President, from the news sent back by our intelligence officers on the front line in the Persian Gulf and from the information that we have received from the secret line inside the United States, the Americans have suffered a great loss in this war. Now the US side and the White House are discussing whether to continue fighting. As for the reason, I think it must have something to do with the new fighter jets in Somalia. ”
Because the war broke out over the Persian Gulf, all that was observed by the outside world was some approximate and vague data, and the specific losses of both sides would only be clear to the top leaders of both sides. Because the war has just stopped, although the intelligence officers of various countries are trying their best to investigate, it is not so easy to find out.
"You mean the 'Ghost' fighter? That biggest joke in the history of aviation? Sarkozy's face darkened when he heard this, and if he remembers correctly, he had discussed the Somali Condor fighter jets with several of his subordinates on a private occasion yesterday, and he had despised them for the Clean Shot Down of two Qatari Air Force Mirage 2000-5s.
Although France already has a more advanced 'three and a half generations' fighter 'Rafale' fighter, but the Mirage 2000 is still the main force of the French Air Force, Sarkozy can not accept the fact that Somali aviation technology is more advanced than France, you know, France is one of the few countries in Europe that insists on independently developing its own military industrial system, for which the French have always been proud. The Mirage fighter, which is now regarded as the 'pride' of the French, was easily shot down by a plane developed by a small African country, and Sarkozy naturally wanted to save face from the French fighter and even the French political axe and slander the new Somali fighter.
But just one night later, the Minister of Intelligence told him that it was the kind of Somali fighter plane that he slandered and disdained that caused the US Air Force, which was more powerful and advanced than the French Air Force, to suffer a big loss. How did Sarkozy introduce this?
Fortunately, the cheeks of playing politics are very thick, and they are only black and not red.
"Mobilize all my resources for me at once, and be sure to get the inside story of the Persian Gulf war in detail." Sarkozy thought for a moment and gave an order. But in his heart, he was scolding angrily, damn the Third Economic Union, damn Somalia and even the damned Yankees, the 'Odyssey Dawn' plan had to be postponed for the time being.
As soon as the intelligence minister went out, Sarkozy received a special phone call, and that morning, a special person came to Paris secretly and had a secret meeting with Sarkozy at the Élysée Palace.
…… Moscow, after receiving the news of the temporary end of the Persian Gulf War, the Russian political axe immediately instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to summon the Libyan ambassador to Russia, a deputy minister of the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the previous Libyan political axe's proposal to purchase Russian-made fighter jets, the Russian political axe after consideration, decided to conduct further consultations, and before, the Russian political axe's attitude was ambiguous.
10 Downing Street, London, the residence of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. When they learned that the war in the Persian Gulf had stopped, Britain first changed his face.
The Middle East has been occupied by the British for two hundred years, but after the oil resources in the Middle East have been really exploited on a large scale, the British have been forced to leave this land full of black gold.
This is a pain in the hearts of the British!
In order to exert more influence in the world, the British political axe has always actively participated in major international affairs, and the British are not far behind in wars and conflicts like this. Anyway, with the Americans in front, the British bear much less pressure, but there are also a lot of interests.
If it weren't for the upcoming general election in Britain and the opposition of the Conservatives to the Persian Gulf War, the RAF fighters would also be fighting in the Persian Gulf for the benefit of Britain.
As things stand, it seems like a fortunate decision for the British political axe not to go to war. But for Brown's Labour Party, it is even worse news, which shows that Labour is really not fit to lead Britain, because this time if it were not for the opposition of the Conservatives, the Labour Party would once again drag Britain into a terrible losing war.
For many, the mighty United States, which did not win the war, was defeated. Whether the British think so is unknown, but one thing is certain: the Conservative Party's victory in the general election is unstoppable.
In the capital of China, the country's highest center of power, several high-ranking state officials gathered to listen to a report on the war in the Persian Gulf.
The Chinese political axe was originally intended to be on the side of the Third Economic Cooperation and Development Organization (OECD) in the war, but it would not directly and openly support it, and at most it would not stop the export of some strategic resources. But before Huaxia's attitude was fully revealed, this war of special significance stopped.
The US Air Force suffered heavy losses! When I heard this news in the ears of the Chinese leaders, I didn't know what it was like in my heart.
For the whole world, the powerful and invincible Americans do not seem to be as strong as they should in this war, you must know that the main fighters of the Third OECD Joint Air Force are less than one-tenth of the strength of its air force for a big country like China, and even have only one air force fighter division. However, it was this patchwork air force that turned the US Persian Gulf Air Force, which has nearly 200 fighters of all types, into a non-defeating and win-winning outcome.
"This should have something to do with the new Somali fighter jets." No. 1 flicked his cigarette ash and analyzed, "I think it's time for Comrade Guohai to go to Somalia." The temporary end of the Persian Gulf War does not mean that the two sides will not continue. ”
When several other leaders heard this, they all laughed: The current Persian Gulf War will be of great benefit to China, first of all, it will be able to see more clearly the US military strength, and second, a force that can effectively deal a blow to the arrogance of US hegemony will be beneficial to China's rise and the dispersion of pressure. Finally, with a good relationship with Somalia, the goodwill and friendship that can be released as early as possible at this time will be more likely to be gained in the future.
