Chapter 243: The New Year's Party of 1991
On February 22, 1991, the Soviet Union further proposed a plan for the withdrawal of its troops from Iraq: the withdrawal of troops would begin one day after a ceasefire and be completed within 21 days.
At the end of the Gulf War, it was on this day that the signing of a contract for the oil trade was signed, and the smiling handshake between Prime Minister Smith of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of Norway and King Sidi of Morocco decided the successful signing of the agreement.
On 23 February 1991, when the situation in the Gulf changed, the multinational forces flew nearly 100,000 sorties, dropped 90,000 tons of bombs, launched 288 Tomahawk cruise missiles and 35 air-launched cruise missiles, and used a series of the latest aircraft and various precision-guided weapons to carry out multi-directional, multi-wave, and high-intensity sustained air strikes against selected targets, greatly weakening the Iraqi army's command, control, communications, and intelligence capabilities, war potential, and strategic counterattack capabilities, causing the Iraqi army's forward troops to lose nearly 50 percent and the rear troops to about 25 percent in the Kuwait battlefield , creating conditions for launching a ground offensive.
During this period, the Iraqi army implemented defence, evaded air raids and preserved its strength by hiding underground and evacuating foreign countries by hiding the truth and revealing the false; At the same time, the Scud missiles were constantly being used to attack targets in Israel, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, forcing the multinational forces to prolong the air campaign and dispatch a large number of aircraft to search for and destroy the Iraqi army's Scud missiles. The Iraqi Navy and Air Force, on the other hand, carried out limited counterattacks against the multinational forces, and repeatedly launched sorties by planes and missile boats, but all of them failed, and most of the Scud missiles launched deviated from their intended targets or were shot down by US Patriot air defense missiles.

At 4 a.m. local time on February 24, 1991, the multinational force launched a ground offensive and launched five offensive groups from east to west on a frontage of about 500 kilometers along the Shakho-Sha-Iran border: the joint forces of the Arab countries on the eastern front, attacking north along the coast and occupying Kuwait City; The U.S. 1st Marine Expeditionary Force attacked northward from the "elbow" of the Shako border, seized the Mutrah Pass, cut off the road from Kuwait City to the northeast of Kuwait, and attracted the main force of the Iraqi army to Kuwait; The joint forces of the Arab States on the northern front attacked from the western sector of the Shako border in the direction of Alisemim airfield. Cooperate with friendly forces to eliminate Iraqi forces in Kuwait and occupy Kuwait City; The U.S. Seventh Army carried out the main assault, advancing from the west of the Batingan River to the north, penetrating into the depths of Iraq, and then moving eastward to coordinate with the 18th Airborne Army on its left to encircle and annihilate the Iraqi Republican Guard (about 8 divisions) in the area south of Basra; The U.S. 18th Airborne Corps carried out auxiliary assaults, broke through from the Saudi-Iranian border to the banks of the Euphrates River, controlled No. 8 Gong east of Semawa leading to Baghdad, isolated Iraqi troops in Kuwait, and cooperated with the U.S. Seventh Army to annihilate the Iraqi Republican Guard.
The sudden change in the situation in the Gulf has made the Nord Kingdom, which is not involved, a country look sideways. No one thought that many ** teams would choose to do it at this time, which is really against international morality.
At 8 a.m. on 28 July, the multinational forces announced the cessation of the offensive, and the 100-hour ground campaign came to an end.
An armistice was reached on 28 February 1991 and the Gulf War ended.
The war lasted about 46 days, during which the war of the new century displayed by many ** teams made all countries look sideways, and at the same time, the military strength of the Nord Kingdom at this time began to have some speculation. Because some time ago, the Nord Kingdom experienced a world-renowned arms exchange incident.
On 8 March 1991, the Nord Kingdom announced a declaration that ex-servicemen should be given priority to the posts of State civil servants, in particular special police magistrates.
For the sheriff and special police, the Nord Kingdom did not force but encouraged the towns to support these retired officers, and the tax department also gave priority to their review and hiring.
March 10, 1991. Operation Farewell to the Desert began, with the withdrawal of 540,000 troops from the Persian Gulf.
On March 15, 1991, Novartis co-organized gala officially appeared on the screen, and six people from the Nord Kingdom Huaxia wore costumes to hold this party.
The main program of the evening is the traditional Chinese cross talk. There are also some short martial arts dramas (3-5 minutes) from the Nord Kingdom, and there are singers and stars of Nordic Chinese-American-American, African-Arab Americans, and Chinese mainland.
The main mode of the party is to connect the two places with splicing communication, simply put, there will be two screens separated in the middle on the big screen during the host, and the scene will see the scene on the other side through the big screen behind the host. Needless to say, the audience in front of the TV only sees two screens directly.
The program is the screen of which place will be used as the main body in which place it is turn, which is a new attempt, representing the 10th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Novartis and the blessing party of Novartis friendship for thousands of years.
At this party, the audience from China will be able to experience the exotic scenery of the country on the other side of the Nord Kingdom, while the Chinese and local citizens of the Nord Kingdom will experience the 5,000-year-old accumulation of traditional humble cuisine from the Chinese mainland.
The party went well, very well, according to statistics, the ratings of the day broke almost all the ratings of the exchange, and according to the global ratings, the party broke through eighteen out of eighteenth of the ratings, which is a rather terrifying number.
Eighteen out of the world, that's eighteen out of the world!
It is hard to imagine that the first media cooperation between the two countries would be so successful, in fact, not only them, but even Joseph did not expect it.
"That scene just now is Huaxia?"
In the palace, Kate lay in Joseph's arms with a tired face, recalling the scene she had just seen at the party, and couldn't help but ask about Joseph.
"Which one?"
"The one in the blue clothes with the scent of herbs and tea."
"Lijiang, Lijiang, Yunnan!"
"Lijiang...... It's beautiful! The name of the place is beautiful, too. โ
"You can go shopping with Charlie in the future."
"Why don't you go?"
Kate looked at Joseph with some confusion, could there be any other reason?
"If you follow me, then you will not be able to taste the real Lishui customs."
Thinking about the large number of bodyguards and government personnel before and after, Kate nodded in agreement. Indeed, if that is the case, she really can't experience the most beautiful Lijiang.
"Actually, you can also take a look at the Potala Palace of the Great Wall, those are also good, as well as the Inner Mongolia grassland in China, the sky is vast and wild, and the wind blows the grass to see cattle and sheep!"
"What is this?"
"Poetry! Poems about the grasslands. โ
"Very good, there are also bards in China?"
"Yes, but comparatively speaking, the status of the bards in China is very high, and if they have the ability to do so, then they are likely to be canonized as nobles."
"My God, a bard can also be canonized as a noble?"
"Why not? Most of them are officials, and they have a high probability of gaining nobility by being inspirational or abandoning their pen, which is different from us in the West. โ
"There's a big difference."

On the second day, the afterglow of the evening had not yet been eliminated, and Joseph walked through the streets and saw all the lights, even if some Europeans also hung big blessing characters on the doors, but ......
Joseph estimated that the blessing must have been written by a non-Chinese, because it was too ugly, and in the end, Joseph, who couldn't bear it, asked a guard to get out of the car and help him remove it.
"**, what are you doing!"
A big man with a big shoulder and a round waist was just about to go out, but as soon as he went out, he saw someone uncovering the blessing characters he had worked hard to draw yesterday.
The intention of doing it was naturally impossible to complete, because he had already seen the identity shown by the guards and the black Rolls-Royce not far away, who in the Nord Kingdom was eligible to ride in a black Rolls-Royce, and it was also a 001 license plate? The identity of the person who came was obvious.
"I, I didn't break the law!"
A little cowardly, but also a little justified, Joseph, who saw the situation here, heard this sentence when he got out of the car, so he couldn't help but be a little amused.
"You didn't break the law, but you made a mistake, and the fault is in this picture, you have written ugly, and you are ashamed of our Nord Kingdom."
Joseph is still very approachable, especially the one in front of him is still a little two or five, although he is afraid of Joseph, he still argues: "This is what I worked hard to write, it is exactly the same as his family, where is ugly." โ
Follow his finger to look over, it should be a Chinese, the blessing at the door is very beautiful, and then look at the uniform in the guard's hand, Joseph can't continue, and chooses to leave directly, and the guard looks at the one and follows closely.
"Like, there seems to be some gap."
Picking up the Fu character that the guard threw on the ground, the big man looked at it carefully and nodded and muttered, and then ......
Then the Chinese neighbor went out and saw this scene and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then rewrite a pair of stickers at the door and the euro was returned as New Year's money.
"Would you like to take a look?"
The guard who unveiled the word Fu at the beginning couldn't help but look at Joseph and asked, seeing that there were often similar twisted Fu characters on both sides of the road.
Joseph also had a headache, rubbed his head and said, "Go to the cabinet!" Let them organize some Chinese Americans who are good at calligraphy to help write for free on the streets, I think this kind of thing should be done by consciousness. โ
Conscious...... Consciously speaking, most European and American citizens trust themselves very much, and feel that what they write is not different from those of Chinese Americans, and they still stick it there and do not remove it.
In the Cabinet Office, Smith, who took office on the first day of the new year, was a little stunned when he heard Joseph's words, when did His Majesty the King pay attention to these little things?
However, the king had no trivial matter, and since he had been told, it was natural that he should do so and let his secretary go out to organize, and Smith and Joseph talked about the aftermath of the Gulf War. (To be continued......)
