Whether Hamas is right or not, it is always their brother, and the Israelis want to fight Hamas and harm civilians, which Iraq absolutely cannot tolerate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Faced with the current situation, the Iraqi top brass is divided between those who believe that it is time to teach Israel a lesson and make them less arrogant, and on the other hand, they believe that in the current situation, the reasons for sending troops are not enough.
"Adnan, what do you think?" Qusay asked Defense Minister Adnan.
Just now, Adnan had been thinking about what Taha said, Taha was very reasonable, and he also vaguely felt that there was a deeper crisis in it.
"We, the military, have made all the preparations, as long as you give an order, we can go to Israel at any time, we are absolutely not afraid of war, but if we do this, in the international arena, we will not get the support of the Western world, we are on the side of justice in every action, even if the Western world does not support it, we cannot let them find enough reasons to unite and sanction us." As Adnan spoke, he suddenly thought of something: "Now, Bush has been preaching our threat, and if we really do that now, then the crime will be confirmed in the United States, and we will become an evil country in Bush's mouth." ā
At present, Iraq is absolutely not afraid of war, and their proud soldiers can set foot in the West Bank at any time to help Arafat complete the great cause of reunification, but in doing so, they cannot stand on an international moral foothold.
Iraq is not facing Israel at all, it is the United States that Iraq needs to face.
That tough and stubborn old guy in the United States, who has always looked at the Middle East with colored glasses, is the enemy of their Arab world!
Although Iraq has always been developing its own strength, it has not dared to say that it can have the upper hand in the all-out struggle of the United States.
The United States has always been the most powerful country in the world!
"Perhaps, we can mediate." "We act as intermediaries to mediate the struggle between Israel and Hamas to end the current armed conflict," Barzan said. ā
Looking at the suggestions put forward by these people under his command, Qusay knows that although Iraq is already strong, they are not arrogant because of this, and when they think about the problem, they are more comprehensive, which is a very good phenomenon.
If all the people say, start a war at once, and drive the Jews into the sea! If that's the case, then Qusay has to worry.
Now, is it the final decisive moment?
"This time, it may be a good opportunity for Arafat." Taha spoke again: "We have raised the issue of Palestinian statehood to the United Nations, and the Gaza Strip, which was originally the territory of the Palestinian State, and now Israel is striking there, which is a grave violation of the sovereignty of the Palestinian State, and Arafat should file a complaint with the United Nations and demand that Israel immediately stop these actions, and that the Israeli armed forces should withdraw from there." ā
"Israelis don't care about UN resolutions at all." Watban said.
"Israel doesn't care, but we do!" Taha said.
Speaking of which, Qusay's heart moved, this incident, Iraq cannot carry out military action, otherwise it will not be on the side of justice, so if Iraq sends troops now, it is definitely not a good choice, but when the proposal is made at the United Nations, the situation is different. After all, after their repeated propaganda, the state of Palestine has begun to gradually enter the eyes of the world.
Push Arafat to the front, after all, Arafat is the most qualified to argue with the Israelis, the Israelis occupy those areas in the first place, and no matter how much the Israelis advocate Hamas to attack Jewish settlements, Jews should not be there in the first place.
Moreover, what Taha said obviously means another thing, suspending their direct military support for the Gaza Strip can help Arafat eliminate competitors. Hamas is too violent and will not be controlled by Iraq, so the best way is to kill people with a knife.
"What we need now is to be ready for war and, at the same time, wait for the storm to come." Taha finally concluded.
At this point, Qusay received a confidential phone call from King Fahd.
King Fahd is also very concerned about the current situation in Palestine, and so far, the only unstable factor in the Middle East has been left here.
Although Saudi Arabia's defense policy is neutral, Saudi Arabia has always been extremely indignant at Israel's decades-long ravages against its Palestinian brothers, and Saudi fighters are also active on the battlefields of the Middle East war.
Qusay picked up the phone, and a determined voice rang on the other end.
ā¦ā¦ā¦
"This time Israel has been violently attacked by Hamas, and countless Israeli civilians have been attacked, which has fully demonstrated that this region is not peaceful, and in order to protect our interests, we must strengthen our military presence in Israel." Bush said.
Now, it is precisely at the most critical stage of the election that contradictions in the Middle East are intensifying, and at such a time, Bush will certainly seize this opportunity to build momentum for his election.
In particular, when Hamas began to attack, the Jewish-controlled media outlets immediately began to report brilliantly, and when their cameras focused on the rockets that flew like fireworks, soaring from residential areas to Jewish settlements, they attracted the attention of the audience, who reported every day how many rockets Hamas fired, attacked Israel, and caused many Jewish civilian casualties. However, they never reported how many bombs were dropped and how many Palestinian civilians were killed or injured in their subsequent retaliatory retaliation.
All this has created an impression in the minds of Americans, as if the Arabs living there are unreasonable and violent people, all terrorists, and they are a very dangerous group, enemies of the United States.
The power of the media is enormous, visually stunning, and they feel that the danger of the Arabs, as if their economy is really being messed up by the Arabs.
The scales in the hearts of the electorate are slowly tilting in favor of Bush.
As one of Bush's most important strategies, Israel is the last foothold of the United States in the Middle East, so in the face of the current situation, Bush proposed to strengthen the stationing of troops in Israel.
"Now, although it is only a conflict between Palestine and Israel, we must be soberly aware that the surrounding Arab countries are eyeing each other, and they will participate in it at any time, and a new war in the Middle East may break out at any time. Moreover, unlike the previous wars in the Middle East, the military strength of the surrounding Arab countries is now much stronger than before, so we must prepare for the worst. Cheney said.
What does the U.S. military presence in Israel do? It's to give the Jews a rally, and if they are *dropped, will the Americans still be able to stay there?
After listening to Cheney's speech, Bush asked William next to him, "Has the CIA discovered anything now?" ā
"Now, the armies of Saudi Arabia and Iraq have not yet shown signs of massing on the border. The Arab armies in the Golan Heights are also stationed normally, but their troops have been canceled from leave, fully manned, and all the troops have been issued with live ammunition, and since Iraq now has sufficient strategic mobility capabilities, it will be very easy for them to get involved. William said.
The current actions of the Iraqis can be understood as a response and precautionary measure against the current emergency, and at the same time, it can also be understood that they are preparing for war.
As far as Bush is concerned, he hopes that Iraq will take the initiative to attack, and then the facts will prove that his judgment is correct, and the actions he has been carrying out in the Middle East are also completely correct, and then the support of the American people for him will further increase, and he will certainly be able to shake off Clinton.
"Can we have heavy troops transferred to Israel now?" Bush asked Cheney.
"Yes, our Seventh Army can be transferred from Europe." Cheney said.
The Seventh Army! Hearing Cheney say this, several generals present couldn't help but smack their tongues, this secretary of defense who has not gone through a military career, is really bold enough to speak!
What is the Seventh Army? The Seventh Army is the main force of the United States in Europe, in order to fight against the Soviet Union's steel torrent, this army is stationed in West Germany, and it has the highest degree of synthesis and the strongest combat effectiveness.
This corps includes the 1st Armored Division, the 3rd Armored Division, the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division, the 3rd Brigade of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division, the 2nd Armored Division (owing to the 1st Brigade), the 1st Cavalry Division (owing 1 brigade), and the British 1st Armored Division, a total of 7 divisional and brigade-level units, and the strength of the whole army has reached more than 100,000 people.
This unit, which was mainly used to defend against the Soviets, transferred this unit? Cheney can't be crazy, right?
Now the US troops in Israel, mainly the Air Force, have only one brigade of troops.
"The Seventh Army is mainly to defend against the attack of the Soviets, and it must not move." Said one of the generals.
"The Soviets have exhausted themselves, Germany has been reunited, and the combat mission of the Seventh Army there has come to an end. At present, the main problem we are facing is the Middle East, and it is not enough for us to have an air force, and we must transfer the main ground forces there. Cheney said.
USSR? The Soviets can't stay in Eastern Europe anymore, where will there be another attack! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member to recommend this work, your support is my biggest motivation. )
