Chapter 1640 The Conspiracy Behind the Iraq Crisis (I)
Damn Iraqis, when did the brains become so good? Rumsfeld's incomprehensible! He doesn't think that the IQ of Iraqis alone can do this!
There must be someone or some country behind the back to support the damned Iraqis! Rumsfeld's mind suddenly had such a thought!
Moreover, after this idea appeared, it quickly became absolutely dominant, and some things that could not be figured out on a daily basis became clear in Rumsfeld's mind at this moment: If it weren't for someone behind the scenes to help the Iraqis make moves, come up with ideas, and improve their outdated SAM-2 air defense missiles, and with the SAM-2 alone, the Americans disdained it decades ago, would the damn Iraqis be able to cause so much trouble to the Americans?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
It seems that the time has really come to carry out a forced advance on the ground! Looking at the report on his desk, Rumsfeld was thoughtful.
In this report, the power system of all 100 M1A2 "Abrams" main battle tanks has been replaced by the previous gas turbine with a new fuel cell system.
Together with the previously improved 10 M1A2s, the actual combat effect of these 110 M1A2s has been evaluated: without calculating the endurance of the M1A2, the M1A2 with a new power system has been replaced, and the combat effect in actual combat is equivalent to 1.5 times that of the traditional power M1A2!
At the same time, because the current power system of the M1A2 is not a heat engine, the possibility of an anti-tank missile attack guided by the local infrared guidance method is greatly reduced, and the survivability of the battlefield is greatly improved! If you take into account many factors such as cruising range, increased weapons and ammunition, the combat effectiveness of the new M1A2 is equivalent to 2.1 times that of the M1A2 with a traditional power system!
In other words, under the existing command structure of the US military, the current M1A2 can be equivalent to 2.1 traditionally powered M1A2! If these "Super Abrams" main battle tanks, known as the M1A3, are replaced with computer systems, fire control systems, and other combat weapons and supporting systems, the comprehensive combat capability of the new M1A3 will be improved!
Let's go up! Maybe now I don't know how many people are waiting to see how the new M1A3 will actually work on the battlefield.
As soon as he thought of this, Rumsfeld did not hesitate any longer, waved his pen, and signed his own approval on the document in front of him: Agree!
When the word "agree" is signed, it means that a new round of new offensive launched by the US-British coalition against Iraq is about to begin.
――――――――――――――――
It must be admitted that the war between the Americans and the Iraqis was fought like this, and no one thought of it before the war! Although the Iraqis have been relatively passive until now, Iraq has only lost about one-tenth of its territory more than four months after the war began, but this is still far beyond everyone's expectations, and in their opinion, this is simply an out-and-out miracle!
Everyone looked at the warring sides with scrutiny: damn Americans, how could they fight a war with such a large disparity in strength into such a virtuous one? Damn the Iraqis, how the hell did they do that? All of this, like the attraction of the deep night sky to astronomers, makes them involuntarily look up at the starry sky above their heads.
However, after this war has been fought so far, the Iraqis are bitter and can't say: damn it, after fighting for so long, Iraq, which has almost zero military manufacturing enterprises, has almost consumed the ammunition in its arsenal, and the vast majority of the arsenal is now empty enough to make rats feel extremely desperate! …,
Compared to the Americans, who have a huge war potential and desperate military capabilities. Iraq's military background is poignantly weak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how should we continue the next war?" Sitting at the top of the seat, a symbol of majesty and power, Saddam Hussein slowly glanced at his subordinates, asked them questions, and asked for their opinions.
At this moment, Saddam Hussein's face no longer has the recklessness and arrogance he had before the war, his vicissitudes of life and the red eyes that the little white rabbit has, all silently telling his aides that he, the president of Iraq, has not rested well for a long time.
Speaking of which, this is simply a matter of course, Saddam, who has been worrying about how to replenish weapons and ammunition all this time, is almost about to tear off the hair on his head, but so far, in the face of the heavy blockade by the Americans and the intimidation, coercion and inducement of other countries in the world, he has no choice! -- Even if there is a country that is willing to sell weapons and ammunition to Iraqis, it must be able to bring in weapons and ammunition from the Americans who are surrounding Iraq.
"......" None of the officials spoke, and any of the officials who felt that they were being swept by Saddam's gaze were all eager to shrink their heads into their stomachs...... Although, theoretically, this is indeed possible.
The lowered faces of the officials were also frustrated and confused at the moment: Although no one can say that the Iraqis have lost this battle so far, these Iraqis present understand that Iraq, without any supply of weapons and ammunition, will face the next stormy military attack by the Americans?
Yes, the Iraqis, who are unable to replenish their weapons and ammunition from the outside world, now do not know how to fight the next battle: is it possible for all Iraqis to sprinkle sand on American planes and tanks?
Seeing that none of the people present spoke, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to reprimand, but after opening his mouth, Saddam Hussein did not say a word, and he also knew that in this case, it seemed that no one could do anything.
But just give up? Uncle Sa is a little unwilling! We resisted for more than four months, more than four months! For more than four months, the Americans have done almost nothing about us, but at this time, at this critical moment, are we going to give up?
Not only was Saddam Hussein's unwillingness, but the entire civilian clique and military attache deputies in the conference room were also full of unwillingness, but what could they do besides being unwilling? All the options have been thought of, and none of them will work.
"My dear brother Mahmood, maybe you will have a way?" There's got to be someone to talk to, right? Many words, if this meeting becomes their own one-man show, it will be a huge damage to their prestige! Saddam's eyes turned to Interior Minister Mahmoud. Diaba. Ahmed's body stopped.
"Maybe ......" was named by the Minister of the Interior Mahmoud Mahmoud. Diaba. Ahmed, full of helplessness: what can I do in this international and domestic environment? But since it was the great leader who opened his mouth, Mahmoud . Diaba. Ahmed naturally couldn't say that he had no choice, and after thinking for a moment, Mahmud. Diaba. Ahmed weakly spoke, "Maybe Mr. Will might have a solution?" ”
yes, maybe Mr. Will will have a way? Home Minister Mahmoud. Diaba. Ahmed's words suddenly lit up the eyes of the civilian clique present, and their hearts, which were like cold stones in the desert at night in Iraq, began to warm up slightly: Isn't it precisely because of Mr. Will's support that we in Iraq have been able to hold out until now? Maybe at this time, the all-powerful Mr. Will will still have a way? …,
Sultan to Minister of Defense. Hassim. Ahmed, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Ibrahim. Ahmed. Alsattar. Muhammad and Air Force Commander Hamid. Rajah. Several senior military generals led by Salah couldn't help but smile bitterly: That's right, in these months, if it weren't for Mr. Will's support, we would have failed a long time ago, but Mr. Will is not omnipotent, although he was able to bring in those blocked materials for Iraq under the strict blockade of the Americans, but relative to the needs of the whole of Iraq, that little thing brought in, in the words of the old Chinese, can only be a drop in the bucket! That's right, it's a drop in the bucket! It simply cannot meet the needs of the entire Iraqi battlefield.
"I have been in contact with Mr. Will, but unfortunately, Mr. Will has said that maintaining this level of support for us now is the limit of what they can do!" Although Saddam Hussein was very reluctant to say this, in the face of everyone's expectant eyes, the depressed Uncle Sa had to say these demoralizing words to Mahmoud. Diaba. Ahmed spoke up.
A little improvement in morale had just now appeared, and it fell again, although they both knew that their leader, Saddam Hussein, and Mr. Weil, had said that this was the case, but despite this, everyone was still depressed after these words.
For those drowning people who are about to die, even if they take the last straw in front of them, for these drowning people, even if they know that this straw will not save their lives, they will regard this guy who took off their own straw as a mortal enemy...... Maybe with this straw, I'll be able to survive?
"Mr. President, Mr. Will has a letter for you." As he spoke, the head of Iraq's intelligence agency, Tahir, who did not attend the meeting and had been acting as a liaison between Saddam Hussein and Will. Jarry. Habushi quietly walked in, sent a piece of information to Saddam's eyes, and whispered......,
