Chapter 502: Bombardment of Tehran
With no hope for competition and no temporary substitutions, Carter's only wish is to spend the last period of time in peace and start the third world war mode? Are you kidding! Congress will not agree! It will become an excuse for Reagan to criticize himself!
It was not Carter's courage to strike again from Pakistan, but in the face of a possible deterioration of the situation, he still sent Warren to the Middle East to lobby Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and at such a time, it was time for the United States to station troops in these two countries so that the response could not change.

Later historians have always believed that the Soviet Union in the late 70s and early 80s was aggressive in armaments, but the domestic political situation was constantly adjusting, and the reforms in the Soviet Union touched the interests of some people, so the political situation in the Soviet Union was not stable.
At this time, the Soviet Union needs to divert its domestic attention, and the best way is to expand its territory! Therefore, the Soviet Union's advance in the Middle East was not an isolated incident, but a way to unite the Soviet people's hearts and minds and reduce the pressure on reform.
If at this time, the United States takes the strongest attitude and does not hesitate to start the mode of destruction of World War III with the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union may back down, and if the Soviet Union and the United States enter a state of all-out war, then the contradictions in the Soviet Union's domestic reform will intensify, and internal and external troubles will also plague the Soviet Union.
It's a pity that this opportunity was not seized by the United States, and the Carter administration at that time was really the most incompetent government in the history of the United States!
At the peak of the Cold War confrontation, no American president had the courage to have such courage, even President Bush Sr., who was extremely belligerent in later generations, had to think twice before acting.
Carter was able to launch the first Iranian war, which was not simple, but unfortunately it was defeated by the Iranians' tactics of crowds, and the war launched by Carter just provided an opportunity for the second invasion of the Soviet Union, and he consumed Iran's strength and gave the Soviet Union a wedding dress.
And the USSR, the strategic advantage was thus accumulated.
And in this process, Iran is the saddest, as a big country in the Middle East, as the famous Persian Empire in history, the current Iran, like the fat in the mouths of the two hegemons of the United States and the Soviet Union, was bitten by the United States, but unfortunately the United States broke two teeth, and was bitten by the Soviet Union, and as a result, half of it was swallowed.
And in this process, neither of the two countries consulted the parties.
Of course, the Soviets did more securely, because their proxies in Iran had already been found.
The capital of Iran, Tehran.
"Boom!" A huge cannonball, falling from the sky, smashed directly into a two-story building, and after smashing through the roof of the second floor, it exploded from the inside, and suddenly, the building was shattered in a violent explosion.
The earth shakes and the mountains shake.
The day before yesterday, the self-proclaimed People's Liberation Army of Iran (PALA) surrounded Tehran, a city that had suffered so much, and was once again in the midst of war.
The Iranian defenders, including the elite YSL Revolutionary Guards, have fewer than 20,000 men, but they believe they will be able to defend the city with their experience! Let the invading enemies be massively consumed in street battles!
But now, the guys who surrounded their side, who were slow to attack, kept bombarding them with artillery! Your own casualties are constantly increasing in the shelling!
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a former Iranian university student who masterminded the kidnapping of the US embassy hostage, is now the commander of the special forces of Iran's YSL Revolutionary Guard Corps, with full responsibility for the combat mission of the YSL Revolutionary Guard Corps in Tehran, while in a basement, he is consulting with Rafsanjani, a representative of the Supreme Defense Council.
"We should retreat immediately." Rafsanjani said: "With the existing forces, we simply cannot hold our Tehran. ”
Most of the forces have been transferred to fight Iraq, which has led to internal emptiness, otherwise, they would not have allowed the Soviets to invade! And now, the army fighting against Iraq cannot be pulled back, and it will be counterattacked by Iraq at any time, and in this case, even the capital Tehran only has an army of 20,000 people!
Originally, if you rely on 20,000 people to fight in the streets, you can completely drag the other side, just like the last time you did to the Americans, but now, it is obvious that the Iranian People's Liberation Army outside, this evil organization, does not intend to do this!
"We must not retreat, the great leader HMN has instructed us to keep fighting, even if we fight to the last man, we must not give the Soviets a chance!"
The so-called Iranian People's Liberation Army outside is clearly supported by the Soviets! If Tehran is broken by the Soviets, regardless of the fighting in the west, at least those territories occupied by the Soviets in the east will be declared legitimate by the new Tehran regime! This is absolutely intolerable!
"But now, it's the Soviets who won't give us a chance, they're not going to fight in the streets, they're going to bombard our city!" Rafsanjani said.
Now, the intentions of those armies outside could not be more obvious, they are just going to bombard! This minimizes casualties!
In fact, when the United States invaded, they also thought of such a way, but in the end, the Americans still did not implement it, after a long march, the supplies carried by the Americans were limited, and it was impossible for them to have so many shells for consumption, and as for the bombing of aircraft, the same is true, the consumption of aircraft is far greater than the artillery fire, and if you want to bomb Tehran into ruins, it will take astronomical amounts.
There are alternatives, such as the kind of powerful bombs, but the Americans dare not use them, they have to take into account the reaction of the entire Middle East world to them, and they must not provoke friendly countries such as Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
But now, for the Iranian People's Liberation Army outside, none of this is a problem! Because behind them the USSR, it is absolute artilleryism! Now that the Soviet Union has fully realized the mechanized troops, the Soviet Union still has a lot of towed artillery, which has been put into the warehouse to rust, and it is better to provide them to the Iranian People's Liberation Army than to let them rust like this!
As a result, all kinds of towed artillery were dragged out of Tehran, and many caliber ammunition were rare, and after the fighting, it happened that the artillery was also scrapped.
Boom flat Tehran! Minimize casualties! At the same time, let the Iranian People's Liberation Army stand in power throughout Iran! (To be continued.) )
