Chapter 818: Joining Forces to Resist the Enemy III
"The war in Afghanistan is about to start, first Britain then the Soviet Union, and then the turn of the United States, Afghanistan is definitely a country full of disasters, but its special strategic position has also determined its own fate, which is a helpless sadness."
"The report of the mercenary intelligence agency shows that there are some underground military organizations with mysterious activities in Afghanistan, and in secret bases in the mountains, they train their members in explosives, assassination, sniping, cyber attacks and other subjects, which is not a secret to everyone present."
"However, the agents of the intelligence agencies who are secretly lurking in this organization recently sent me very shocked information, it turns out that their attack against the United States has begun, and it will not start until the end of the year."
"This is a catastrophe for the US government, a catastrophe, and an excellent excuse for war, in this context, which country dares to jump out to stop the actions of the United States, according to the popular saying in China, it is called a famous division." Wu Chen said solemnly.
During the eight years of the previous president's term in office, the US economic development reached its peak, not only eliminating a fiscal deficit of more than $300 billion, but also leaving office with a fiscal surplus of more than $300 billion.
However, the abundant financial resources have also given the US government a foundation for strategic expansion, and it costs money to fight a war, and an international hooligan like the United States has to fight a war even if he has no money, not to mention that with money, war is inevitable.
The strategic location of Afghanistan is very critical, Britain and the former Soviet Union fought Afghanistan all over the body, and the Jedi was not a casual decision, but this country has the value of war. In the same way, the United States will not give up this strategic place, or a place where soldiers must fight, and with this excuse, it is really strange not to fight.
"Iraq's military strength was almost completely destroyed by the multinational forces in the Gulf War, and it has not yet recovered its vitality, and according to the current situation, it is difficult to protect its own country, and whether it can survive a year is a question. If the United States launches a war in Afghanistan, then it will inevitably reduce the pressure on Iraq, of course, I know that this level of combat will not cause much difficulty for the US military, but there is a precondition, what if the war in Afghanistan is not fought smoothly? Saddam said.
Everyone's eyes are on Wu Chen, at present, there are not many countries in the world that can directly fight with the US military in terms of military strength, and the mercenary corps or the Golden Triangle Federation is the most qualified one among them, and it is also the strategic partner with the most cooperation and deepest relationship among the Gulf countries.
Russia or China are military powers that can directly confront each other, but even if the other side can fight the United States, it will not directly intervene in the war launched by the United States, which is not related to vital interests, and no one wants to open Pandora's box.
Of course, Britain and France will not do such a thing, especially the former, it is negotiable to help the abuse, every time the United States takes military action, Britain follows closely with money and efforts, and the only country that can help Iraq is mercenaries.
The Gulf countries have given great benefits to the mercenary corps, opening up the exploration and exploitation rights to foreign oil companies, which is the first time to make an exception after recovering the ownership of oil resources, as long as the oil fields explored by the Atlantis Mineral Resources Company are exploited, it is the oil fields that belong to the mercenary corps, although the proportion is not high, but this is oil!
"Mercenaries can take measures against the war in Afghanistan and secretly send troops against the American army, and in fact I have such a foundation, and I have the best conditions to have five modern cities in Afghanistan as a base camp."
"But there are prerequisites for this matter, we don't need to wade into this troubled water, Afghanistan and Iraq cooperate in different ways, and participating in the war requires sufficient funds as a basis, you all know the fatal flaw of mercenaries, there is not much financial revenue, we cannot afford to fight such a war of attrition." Wu Chen said calmly, not embarrassed at all by his statement.
"A war of attrition? Do you mean that the war in Afghanistan will last a long time? I don't think that with the current strength of the Taliban, they can withstand the attack of the American army, and the reason why they won and defeated the Soviet Union in the past was because of the support of the US government and many other countries, and it is not possible to rely on themselves. ”
"If it's really because of what you just said, I don't think any country dares to support Afghanistan, it is tantamount to a war with the United States, and the Taliban government can hold out for three months, which is quite a good performance." Saddam Hussein understood the meaning.
"The war in Afghanistan is not a positional war and a battle for urban fortifications, but guerrilla warfare, and in terms of terrain, the United States cannot eliminate the Taliban army, and four-fifths of the plateaus and mountains will become the best hiding place for the Taliban army, and the US military has no effective way, and it is more than enough to hide hundreds of thousands of people in such a large area."
"We all know that war is not only the use of weapons and equipment and modern tactics, it is only a prerequisite for victory, and it is easy to fight and it is difficult to hold it, because logistics and supply are very important links. My judgment is that the war in Afghanistan may end in about two months, but the situation has become that the US military is in the open and the Taliban is in the dark, and then the nightmare of the US military is coming! ”
"If our mercenary corps chooses to intervene at this time to help the Taliban carry out a sneak attack, support them with enough light weapons and ammunition, and provide them with corresponding food and supplies, and medicine, the number of casualties of the US military will double, and the US government will definitely be anxious about this, and the preparation time for Iraq may be extended by one to two years, until the US government believes that the war in Afghanistan cannot be ended in a short time." Wu Chen said.
Everyone at the meeting understood what Wu Chen was referring to: At the beginning of the US government, it certainly did not believe that the war in Afghanistan would last too long, and if it did not last for two years, the situation would not change because of this, but would become more and more unsatisfactory, and patience would gradually disappear.
But the problem arises, if the United States is fighting Iraq, the Gulf countries can pay to help the Iraqi government fight a protracted war, which is a necessary condition for stifling the United States' ambitions in the Persian Gulf region, even if it invests tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars, it is worth it!
The problem is that Afghanistan was the first to go to war, and it has very little to do with the interests of the Gulf countries, at most it is also an Islamic country, and the money is a bit unjustly spent.
But Wu Chen's words are very accurate, the mercenary group will not help Afghanistan against the United States for no reason, the two sides are only economic cooperative relations, and after the United States conquers Afghanistan, the interests of the mercenary group will not be affected much, there is really no need to risk casualties, and they have to pay out of their own pockets to support weapons, equipment and food supplies, this behavior violates the creed of mercenaries.
