Chapter 305: Supporting Iraq?

Because Iran directly rejected the UN resolution to conduct chemical weapons verification in Iran, this country, which was originally in the eyes of the Western world and has no human rights, has once again been pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

Israel dares not to listen to UN resolutions because of the support of the United States, and every time the UN proposes a resolution that is unfavorable to Israel, the United States will use its veto power to protect Israel.

However, Iran is different, there is no permanent member of the UN Security Council who is willing to be Iran's backstage, except for China, other countries are countries that Iran is hostile to.

The strongest response is in the United States.

President Reagan's think tank has once again started a debate on this incident, whether to make a tough stance and put pressure on Iran?

"Guys, everyone is very clear about the current situation, everyone is very clear about Khomeini, right?" Vice President George W. Bush said: "Now that the UN resolution has come down, what exactly should we do, and if the Security Council authorizes it, can we put pressure on Iran?" ”

When it comes to Khomeini, everyone here knows very well that that person is the object of the biggest headache for the United States, even surpassing the Soviet Union! Because, this god stick can't be measured with ordinary people's thinking at all.

The economic blockade, the freezing of property, people are not afraid of anything, and now they are still staying there. The people are still enthusiastically supportive.

"If the United Nations passes a resolution to carry out mandatory surname checks, our military is fully capable of completing the task." This was stated by Defense Secretary Weinberg.

Can the military get the job done? Remembering the last time there was a mess in the Arabian Sea, Secretary of State George was uncomfortable with it.

"This time Iran is guilty of public outrage, if the United Nations passes a resolution, I think we can use the air force to bomb those factories that may produce chemical weapons, and give Iran some color!" Poyndexter said.

Hearing that these people are so inclined to force, although President Reagan did not show it on his face, he muttered in his heart, is force really a good way to solve the problem?

"Guys, don't forget how President Carter stepped down!" George said suddenly.

His words immediately shocked everyone.

President Carter, how did he step down? Naturally, it was the Iranian hostage incident that all the top American leaders could not forget!

After the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the US embassy was occupied and 66 US diplomats and civilians were taken hostage. The hostage crisis began on November 4, 1979 and lasted for 444 days until January 20, 1981.

In the past nearly a year and a half, the Americans have turned back to their faces, first economic and diplomatic pressure, but nothing has worked, and Khomeini does not buy it! Then came the negotiations, in which the Iranians offered too high to be satisfied, and finally a military operation, which was crippled and the Delta special forces failed.

President Carter's prestige was at its lowest point because of this incident, resulting in his defeat to President Reagan in the election.

When this incident was mentioned, everyone was shocked.

"George, you're saying that if we take action, then Iran might do this kind of thing again, taking civilians as hostages?" Vice President Bush asked.

"It's not possible, it's certain." George said: "If we take direct military action against Iran, then the Iranians will do it!" ”

"We already don't have our own people on Iran, how can they take hostages?" Weinberg asked.

"There is no one in Iran, but there is one in Syria and there is one in Lebanon!" George said.

Reagan has already understood, yes, Syria is on the side of Iran, and several armed forces in Lebanon are financed by Syria, and Khomeini may take American citizens hostage at any time if he wants to!

What to do? Reagan knew that Carter was facing a situation that he had to avoid.

Because, that problem is simply unsolvable.

"Casey, how many citizens do we have in these places?" Reagan asked.

"About five hundred." Casey said, "Do you want to take them all home?" This is impossible, and if that is done, we in the United States will not be laughed at by other countries? It's as if we're afraid of Khomeini. ”

"Well, there is only one way to solve the problem." George said: "The only one who can fight Iran for us is Iraq. ”

Reagan's eyes lit up: "George, go on." ”

"Although Iraq, together with other Arab countries, has come up with the matter of raising the price of oil, we have to look at the problem comprehensively, if it were not for Israel's invasion of Lebanon, this incident would not have happened, so we can also understand that Iraq has done this, and now, if we want to completely solve Iran's chemical weapons, we can only find a way from Iraq to provide Iraq with information on Iran's factories that may produce chemical weapons, and I think Iraq will be willing to raze these places to the ground. At the same time, in order to increase the chances of success, I think we should let go of exports to Iraq, and the F-20 production line will be exported to Iraq along with the laser-guided bombs that Iraq wants to order. ”

Due to the last oil crisis, the contract for the F-20 production line was temporarily frozen, and although relations between the two sides eased, the deal was not resumed.

George's idea was straightforward: since he couldn't send troops himself, then let Iraq take action for himself and blow up all the possible production sites of those chemical weapons.

"No, it's absolutely not going to work." "Our strategy is for Iraq and Iran to wear down each other's strength in a mutual war, and we can only provide information, and those weapons cannot be exported for the time being," Weinberg said. ”

"Iraq has already urged us several times, we have no other reason to delay any longer, and, do you think, with those Soviet fighters in Iraq, we can complete the task of precision bombing and complete destruction? Ladies and gentlemen, Iran has this chemical weapons capability, it is very dangerous, if there are followers of Khomeini who run to a place where there are many of our people and detonate a chemical bomb, how much damage will it do to us! ”

This sentence shocked everyone again, and they thought about it carefully, this weapon of mass destruction is indeed too dangerous in the hands of a madman like Khomeini!

"Well, let's do this, in order to eliminate Khomeini's hidden dangers, we need to temporarily build up Iraq's forces." Reagan said.

It wasn't until a few years later, when Iraq rose rapidly, that George, who had always been Reagan's most valued think tank, became the object of everyone's blame, and the rise of Iraq had a lot to do with George's remarks today! Unfortunately, it was already late.

However, George himself swore in his heart that he really did not receive a dollar from Iraq in the first place, and he did it entirely because he did not want the president to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Those guys, when they heard their own remarks, all agreed, but in the end, they complained to themselves, why didn't you stick to your own ideas at the beginning?

However, His Excellency Qusay, who has received the benefits, is in a very good mood right now.

At the port of Khomeini, the Iranian defenders were losing ground and trying to massively wipe out the Iraqis in street fighting, but the Iraqis did not give them a chance because of the brutal methods of advance.

There are snipers there! If it were an ordinary street fight, then a group of soldiers would go up the stairs and eliminate the snipers there, no matter what the cost! Many of them, will fall under the guns of snipers.

But now, the situation is completely different, the Iraqi snipers who have not retreated are constantly killing and wounding them, and the only way for the Iraqi attacking forces, after being attacked, is to bombard them violently with artillery! Even people and buildings, all of them are blown down!

After the attacking troops, they were left in ruins.

Under this devastating blow, the territory of the Iranian defenders is getting smaller and smaller, and they suffer heavy casualties.

After the United Nations weapons personnel destroyed all the chemical weapons, Zhang Feng personally sent them back to Basra and sent them on a plane to leave Iraq.

Zhang Feng himself knew that he was doing this in order not to let these people have any extraneous branches.

Because, Iraq also has chemical weapons in its arsenal, but they have never been used.

After sending these personnel away, Zhang Feng received the news that the C801, which was modified into a ground-attack cruise missile, was successfully test-fired and accurately hit the target!

This is a thing to be happy about, you must know that the Americans' Tomahawk cruise missiles were only officially equipped with troops in 83, and in their arsenals, there is finally a weapon that stands on the same starting line as this era.

Although this kind of missile, which cannot be compared with Tomahawks, has a short range and uses a large number of civilian components, which leads to a great limitation of actual combat capability in the case of strong electromagnetic interference, this is a good start after all!

Therefore, Zhang Feng decided to hold a celebration party in the bus to express his gratitude to all the personnel who had successfully tested the missile, his own engineers, and engineers from China, especially the Chinese engineers, who worked hard to set up the production line and put it into production in such a short period of time, and the products were fully qualified.

Among all the technological outputs, only the people from China are the most sincere, which is also the characteristic of China in this era, and the people are very simple and sincere.

At the celebration party, Zhang Feng received a piece of news that made him even happier: 6 F-20s and production lines will be shipped to Iraq in the near future!
