Chapter 319: War Breaks Out
readx;
The information that the United States was trying to use oil to trigger the Third World War was soon transmitted back to China by Zhang Yuxin, and when Mr. Zhang answered Zhang Yuxin's call, the whole person suddenly fell into deep thought. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
With the development of science and technology, it is no longer like World War II to use crowd tactics to win the war, winning a war is more dependent on high-tech weapons and excellent soldiers, as the former head of the Tang Empire, Mr. Zhang knows very well that there is a big gap between the Tang Empire and the United States in terms of weapons and equipment, or soldiers' combat technology, once there is a real war, unless the ultimate weapon is used, the Tang Empire has no hope of winning at all.
Therefore, once a war breaks out, without the intervention of the Holy Dragon Island, the Tang Dynasty will not be able to win this war at all, but what is the real purpose of the Holy Dragon Island so far, Old Man Zhang has not yet figured it out, if the Holy Dragon Island is allowed to intervene in the war of the Tang Dynasty, will the Holy Dragon Island take the opportunity to replace the political axe of the Tang Empire?
Mr. Zhang thought about it for a long time, but he never came up with a proper measure, so in the end he took the car to the office building of the No. 1 chief.
When the No. 1 leader of the Tang Empire learned of the true purpose of the United States, he was also shocked by this piece of information, and then the Tang Empire immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss this piece of information from Shenglong Island and study detailed countermeasures.
Just after the United States issued an ultimatum to Iraq, dozens of warships of the Atlantic Fleet of the United States almost simultaneously reached the sea less than 100 nautical miles from Iraq, and were ready to attack Iraq at any time.
Time passed quickly, and when the 24-hour countdown ended, the US warships in the Gulf region launched the first attack, and more than 200 Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched from the warships with red flames, lighting up the black night sky and roaring towards all the military bases in Iraq.
After more than 200 missiles roared out, dozens of planes urgently took off from four aircraft carriers and flew toward Iraq, and the energy war that had been brewing in the United States for several years was officially declared.
Under the attack of a series of the latest aircraft and various precision-guided weapons, the United States carried out multi-directional, multi-wave, and high-intensity sustained air strikes against targets in Iraq, which greatly weakened the Iraqi army's command, control, communications, and intelligence capabilities, war potential, and strategic attack capabilities.
Although the first round of attacks by the United States has achieved very good results in the eyes of the American military, and even makes them think that the first round of air strikes has almost destroyed most of the targets on the ground in Iraq, they do not realize that Iraq and the United States have been in a hostile relationship for several years, and the top level of Iraq has long expected that sooner or later it will meet with the United States. In the event of an air attack, it is necessary to quickly evacuate the air attack by evacuating and other measures to preserve its strength.
However, because the US military intelligence agencies believed that the Iraqi troops suffered heavy losses, their command was interrupted, and their supplies were exhausted after the US air strikes and missile attacks, they did not know that the strength of the Iraqi troops had been completely preserved under the first round of attacks by the United States, and when the US ground troops began to assemble and prepare to enter Iraq, the Iraqi troops fired dozens of missiles at the assembly areas of the American troops, causing more than 100 casualties to the American troops.
At the same time, the Iraqi team laid more than 1,000 mines in the Gulf area to prevent American warships from approaching Iraq's ports.
Hundreds of casualties compared to the Battle of Shenglong Island, it is not a loss at all, but Shenglong Island is an organization with military strength that exceeds that of all countries, and Iraq has been blockaded by the United States for several years because of the economic blockade of the United States, but in this case, the United States still paid hundreds of casualties after the first round of attacks, which undoubtedly made the American top brass very angry.
In order to ensure that similar casualties would occur again, the United States would launch another attack on the exposed targets in Iraq in the next three weeks, and after confirming that the main military targets of the United States had been destroyed, the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force of the United States would first launch a ground offensive to attract the attention of the Iraqi State and create conditions for the main western offensive force to develop an offensive.
Not long after the outbreak of the war, the Seventh Army of the United States and the Eighteenth Airborne Army of the United States took advantage of their strong air mobility and armored assault power to encircle the Republican Guard in the south of Iraq with the support of the Navy and Air Force, until they were finally successfully eliminated.
The energy war launched by the United States is a good example of the fact that weaponry is built on a highly technologically intensive foundation; The striking method is no longer based on large-scale destruction, but highlights the precise surname of the strike on the basis of the relative reduction of destructive power; The scope and process of the entire war are regarded as a complete system, and the synergistic and temporal surnames of war are unprecedentedly prominent, and it also demonstrates many new characteristics of the combat patterns produced by the application of new combat means and operational ideas to warfare.
From the moment the United States launched the energy war, all countries attached great importance to the direction of the war, and the performance of American soldiers on the battlefield undoubtedly made countries aware of the strong military power of the United States, so not long after the outbreak of the war, all countries held an emergency meeting on the performance of the American army on the battlefield.
Especially the high-level of Datang, because Datang is currently the only country that knows the ultimate purpose of the United States to trigger this local war, although the Tang Empire has made a great leap forward in military strength with the help of Shenglong Island, but after integrating the military strength of the United States, the high-level of Datang found that there is still a big distance between Datang's military strength and the United States, without the intervention of Shenglong Island, even if the Datang Empire succeeds in repelling the invasion of the United States, it will pay a terrible price because of this war, and by that time, Some parties in the former political axe of Datang will definitely stand up and take advantage of the unstable domestic situation in Datang to solve the problem until the Datang political axe is finally overthrown.
Considering the consequences that will occur after the outbreak of this war, the atmosphere in the conference room has become very heavy, and all the senior executives of Datang who participated in the meeting are frowning and discussing how to deal with this crisis.
Everyone discussed for a long time, but they never came up with a proper way, and finally the old man Zhang, who was sitting on the side and didn't speak from beginning to end, said loudly: "Since everyone can't discuss a result, then I will make a suggestion, although the Holy Dragon Island is not under our control, but Wu Shengjie of the Holy Dragon Island is also our Datang people, and it can be seen from his intention to disclose the intelligence that he is still concerned about the safety of our Datang people. So I think I can send someone to Shenglong Island to find Wu Shengjie for help. ”
It's not that everyone present hasn't thought about it, but these high-level Datang officials have always been wary of Shenglong Island, and they are deeply afraid that Shenglong Island will take the opportunity to enter, so although everyone knows that only Shenglong Island can help the Tang Empire resist the invasion of the United States, no one will take the initiative to mention Shenglong Island.
At this time, when everyone in the conference room heard Old Man Zhang mention Shenglong Island, they really faced this problem, because everyone in the conference room knew very well that as long as Shenglong Island was willing to intervene, Datang would be able to defeat the United States very easily, so several Datang executives present immediately discussed this issue.
"Old chief! You're right, if the Holy Dragon Island intervenes and helps us, we will be able to win this war at a very small cost, but that Wu Shengjie of the Holy Dragon Island has always had a big opinion on our political axe, once the Holy Dragon Island intervenes, I'm afraid that it will be easy to ask the gods to send the gods! After talking to another leader around him, the No. 3 leader of Datang raised the worries in his heart with a serious face.
The leader next to the No. 3 leader heard the statement of the No. 3 chief, and immediately answered: "Although Shenglong Island has repeatedly emphasized that it does not care about the state power, and even gives up the extremely tempting conditions offered by the United States, it is indispensable to guard against people, although the intervention of Shenglong Island can make it easy for us to crush the American invasion, but after winning this war, how can we invite the forces of Shenglong Island out of the country?" When the time comes, if Shenglong Island offers to run the country with us, how can we refuse? Do you really want to rule the country with them? ”
"Everyone! Please don't forget, when the United States launched an attack on Shenglong Island, the United States not only wiped out its entire army, but also there were no casualties on Shenglong Island, our staff officers have analyzed the military strength of Shenglong Island, if Shenglong Island wants to dominate this planet, Shenglong Island can easily do it with the current strength, so I think Wu Shengjie may really be like he said, he has no intention of the regime of this planet, and is even ready to leave this planet. Wei Haibo, the Tang Defense Minister, heard the concerns raised by the No. 3 and the other No. 5 leaders, and finally stood up and stated his thoughts.
"I think Minister Wei's analysis is not unreasonable, if Wu Shengjie is interested in our country's regime, he completely uses the ability of Shenglong Island to provoke the dissatisfaction of the domestic people with our political axe, and then blatantly stands up and says that he wants to overthrow our regime, how should we face this change at that time, so the heart of defense is indispensable, how to cooperate with Wu Shengjie, I think we should be cautious." After hearing Wei Haibo's words, the No. 5 leader thought about it seriously for a while, and then took the call to say his thoughts.
