After talking about this issue, both of them tacitly avoided this question.

"What do you think about the ongoing war in Iraq?" Inadvertently, Hu Ge shifted the topic to the fierce Iraq war that is now being fought.

"In my opinion, the Americans' dispatch to Iraq this time is a huge failure! The Americans will encounter a third war quagmire after the Korean War and the Vietnam War, and it is very likely that the Americans will be stuck in this quagmire for several years and will not be able to pull out their legs, and this war will become a bottomless black hole that will swallow up the comprehensive national strength of the United States, and the US economy will be seriously dragged down by this war, and it is very likely that it will repeat the predicament encountered during the Vietnam War. ”

Zhang Lan said without hesitation, "If the Americans can't break their wrists in time, it is not ruled out that they will be sharply approached by some fast-developing countries!" But there is no doubt that even so, the United States is still the number one power in the world! Americans, with their strong economic potential, will not be dragged down by a small country like Iraq. The only difference is how big the gap is between the Americans and the countries that are catching up behind! ”

Brother Hu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute this kid's words, but after opening his mouth, he didn't say anything.

If before the war began, most people at the top level of the country still believed that this was the third war in which the Americans flaunted their absolute force after the Gulf War and the Yugoslav War, then now that the war has been fought, everyone has to admit that the theory of the strength and invincibility of the US military, which the Americans have worked hard to establish in front of the countries of the world since the Vietnam War, is once again facing the danger of collapse.

I don't understand! There are so many places in this Iraq war that people can't understand it! Everyone is looking at the entire Iraq war with mixed feelings, and perhaps it will once again become a powerful tool for the Americans to establish their global hegemony and flaunt their military power to bully other "disobedient" countries, not to mention that before the war, the Americans had already put forward the concept of "sea, ground, air, space, and electricity" of the five-dimensional war of war.

How can the Iraqis, who are more than one cut behind the Americans in terms of war theory, strategy and tactics, or weaponry, be the opponents of the Americans?

Originally, the experts thought that this Iraq war would be like the Gulf War and the Yugoslav War that had just passed, and the powerful American army would once again sweep away the already dilapidated Iraqi army with a devastating momentum, and the Iraqi military would be defeated at a speed even worse than the Gulf War!

The Iraqi army went so far as to use the Sam-2 air defense missile system, which has been abandoned by countless countries, to shrink the US-British coalition forces to their bay bases and aircraft carriers and not dare to show their heads, and could only use high-priced cruise missiles to bomb them at a long distance, but under the Iraqi government's strategy of all-in-one soldiers, it launched a total of nearly 1,000 newly improved BGM-109Block V. (navy) and AGM-109Block V. (air force) "Tomahawk" cruise missiles against the military and Tomahawk cruise missiles in Iraq. Political, economic, and oil fields are bombed against high-value targets!

But what has made countless people even more disappointingly is that the Americans spent nearly $10 billion to launch all kinds of high-precision precision-guided weapons, including cruise missiles and air-to-ground missiles, and the losses caused to the Iraqis were extremely small! According to the data published by Iraq, the Americans spent such a large amount of money that the end result turned out to be the sad news that less than 100 missiles hit the target.

Many people are also complaining in their hearts that the Americans are not angry: How was it that during the Gulf War, when you fought the Iraqi army that had been tempered by the eight-year war, you were able to defeat the Iraqis with a devastating force, and how is it that after more than ten years of development, when your US military equipment is becoming more and more advanced and the Iraqis' equipment is becoming more and more dilapidated, when you are fighting the Iraqis, you are still being beaten by the Iraqis' counterattack? …,

In this war, in addition to the Iraqis, the happiest people are the casinos in the world that have opened a gamble for this war, and in the face of such a result that no one expected, the casino owners who basically don't have to pay have already laughed in their hearts!

But the shock and shock that Iraq has given to the world does not end there!

Iraq's self-improved SAM-2 air defense missile has a 90 percent success rate in intercepting small targets such as cruise missiles when fired in three salvo shots! Even with a single shot, there is a hit rate of up to 70%! When Iraq announced the interception data of the Sam-2, the whole world was in a shock!

Perhaps at the beginning, some people thought that the Iraqis were bragging, but when the TV pictures broadcast to the outside world appeared in the "tatters" of piles of Tomahawk cruise missiles, or relatively intact and so on, no one thought that Iraq was bragging!

But what made the world even more sensational was that the madman Saddam Hussein said that in order to break the despicable behavior of the Americans in the world with the help of their own weapons, those Tomahawk cruise missiles that were still well preserved after being shot down would be sold at different prices!

After Iraq's remarks came, not only the Americans and the British could not sit still, but all the countries in the world that coveted the Americans' cruise missile technology could not sit still: If they could buy an American "Tomahawk" cruise missile and study it back, how much help would it play in the development level of their own country's cruise missiles!

Zhang Lan believes that China will naturally not have no idea about the Americans' Tomahawk cruise missiles, and as for whether they have made contact with the Americans in private? Zhang Lan is really not sure about this question.

"yes, no one thought of it." Thinking of this kind of thing that happened during this time, like a movie passing in front of him, Brother Hu sighed with emotion, "Even if you think that you are sure of nine out of ten, the final result may not be as you wish." ”

Yes? What does this mean? Zhang Lan blinked her eyes, a little stupid: Ya couldn't be lamenting that she was ambitious to deal with the Alice Group a while ago, but in the end she had no choice but to fold, right? In many words, these two things are so similar! But...... Brother Hu is not stupid, how can he sigh about this in front of him?

"Huh...... Far away," seemed to realize his gaffe, Brother Hu waved his hand to hide the momentary embarrassment in his heart, "It's just from feelings, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" mentions 'soldiers, murder weapons, fighters are against morality, and those who fight are at the end of things.'" Conspire against morality, use the murder weapon, try to be at the end, God forbids it, and the doer is not favorable', if it is really a wise saying, war really cannot be started lightly. ”

A soldier who surrenders without a fight? Hehe, isn't this what the Americans have been doing for so many years, trying to achieve the goal of surrendering without a fight through various means, but sometimes, some problems must be solved through war, right? Zhang Lan was just smiling there.

It's just that there are some words, Zhang Lan still doesn't vomit unhappy, after thinking about it, this kid still said what he had been holding back in his heart, "You can't say that, sometimes, it is still necessary to show off your military muscles and show off your sharp minions, so that others know that they are not easy to bully." Blindly Taoguang and obscurity, even if you develop strongly, what if others think that you are just a cow eating grass, not a tiger in the mountains and forests that is very difficult to mess with? A rookie cow that was originally going to kill and eat meat, no matter how big it is, it doesn't feel as threatening as a half-sized tiger. ”

Show your military muscles? Brother Hu glanced at Zhang Lan thoughtfully: This kid, are you saying that the current strategy of Taoguang and obscurity implemented by the state is still a little inappropriate, right? Quite a few words...,

――――――――――――――――

Breakfast was very pleasant, especially Hu Ruoxi, this girl, probably because Zhang Lan was at home, she ate more than usual, and even refused to stop when eating, like a thrush, she kept chattering there until Liu Huazhen was about to fight, which was considered a little stop.

Just after breakfast, when Brother Hu went to work leisurely, the phone in the house suddenly rang.

"I'll pick it up!" Hu Ruoxi jumped to the phone and picked up the phone, "Hello, who is it?" ”

Zhang Lan didn't know what the person on the phone said, but then Hu Ruoxi Hu Ruoxi gently put the receiver aside, walked over quickly and said something to Liu Huazhen, but Zhang Lan instantly understood who was calling, "Grandma, it's Grandma He looking for you." ”

Grandma He? The person who can call at this time and with such a familiar attitude, or the old woman surnamed He, seems to be the only one, right? A lot of words, but I don't know what kind of feeling this old lady of the He family feels in her heart at the moment.

"Hehe, sister...... Liu Huazhen nodded, walked over and picked up the phone, "Hehe, children, how can there be ...... not naughty"

Get! It seems that the experience of this Miss He Qian and the He family is not so pleasant, this is the old lady of the He family who came to hint to Liu Huazhen that her handling result is coming! Zhang Lan laughed secretly in her heart: To deal with these children of the family, you still have to get their veins, as long as you hold their veins, none of these boys dare to be dishonest.

"Humph! Let her be bad again! Hu Ruoxi, who also understood what was going on, muttered on the side, "I used to treat her as a good person, and she treated me like this!" ”

Hey! This little girl's resentment doesn't look small! Seeing this girl kicking the floor with the soles of her shoes one by one, Zhang Lan was happy: In the future, I see who would dare to say that this girl is simple and does not hold grudges, see it, this girl is ghostly in her heart! ……，
