Chapter 161: Bahrain Base
readx;
Compared with the United States, the current Iraq still has a big disadvantage, that is, nuclear weapons!
You must know that there are thousands of nuclear weapons in the US nuclear weapons arsenal, which can hit Iraq at any time, but Iraq does not have a single nuclear weapon that can hit the US mainland, and at most it can only hit US military bases in Europe; however, under the current circumstances, Iraq absolutely cannot force Europe's position to the side of the United States, and now, Bush is in a very difficult situation, and who knows whether he will throw the big stick of nuclear deterrence?
Iraq now has nuclear weapons, and with the means of delivery, Iraq's medium-range ballistic missiles and long-range cruise missiles can be replaced with nuclear warheads, but the range is not enough. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info{{}}
Therefore, Iraq's technicians now have two options: improve the Pioneer missile imported from the Soviet Union, add another stage, increase the range, and enable it to hit the United States. The other is the Oscar-2 nuclear submarine, which is modified to use cruise missiles, so that when it is roaming in the depths of the ocean, it can have weapons that directly threaten the United States.
Of course, these are all prevention, they are all deterrence, nuclear weapons, even in the most serious confrontation period of the Cold War, have not been used, let alone now, the United States may carry out nuclear deterrence, but it is absolutely not daring to use it. {{}}
However, Iraq must have sufficient countermeasures, and Qusay does not like the feeling of passivity, even for the United States, it is necessary to be proactive!
At a time like this, Qusay doesn't want to do the stupid thing of testing a nuclear weapon, which would be spectacular in Iraq, but the consequences would be tragic.
Under these circumstances, the international situation is favorable to the Middle East, and the evil face of the Americans. There is no doubt that Bush's life is not very easy now.
The Democratic Party has made a lot of trouble, and Bush's move has repercussions in the United States. It's all bad. For a long time, Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries still have a very good image in the hearts of Americans, Iraq can be said to be a friend of the American people, helping them solve many problems, just in the last 89 years, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and other countries have increased their holdings of US Treasury bonds. helped maintain the stability of the U.S. economy. What is Bush's Middle East policy? What Bush has done now is beyond the limits that American citizens can tolerate. {{}}
Of course, there is a small number of people in the United States who are very welcome to this, and that is the Jews in the United States. The United States should have done this a long time ago. In the newspapers, they trumpet negative news about Saudi Arabia, Iraq and other countries, especially their system, which does not have the slightest freedom and democracy.
However, their propaganda did not play a big role. This is because since the Democratic Party wants to impeach Bush through this incident, it is natural to seize this incident to make a big fuss.
in Western Europe. He is also very dissatisfied with the US approach.
What is the United States doing? Comprehensive sanctions against Iraq without any justification? It is better to say that it is sanctions against Iraq, it is better to say that sanctions against Western Europe are almost conceivable, and they can almost imagine that if they follow behind the ass of the United States, do not export their own domestic industrial products to Iraq, and do not carry out any economic, industrial, scientific and technological cooperation with Iraq, then Iraq can almost naturally stop trade with them, for example, not export oil to them!
Britain is good to say, although the cost of oil extracted in Britain is a little higher, and it is enough for them to use, but what about other countries?
And not just Iraq, but the other Arab countries that follow behind Iraq?
Therefore, although the US Secretary of State lobbied in Western European countries, their answers were almost the same: the United States wants to impose sanctions on Iraq, and they have no control over it, but they still want to achieve normal trade relations with Iraq in their own country. {{}}
Seeing that the Arab dollar in the Arab region is steadily being implemented, Europe is also red-eyed, and their own unified currency is also speeding up the pace than before, and their Maastricht Treaty has been signed, which plans to establish the European Community as a European Union before 96 years.
For Europe, the most important thing now is to develop their own economy, as the blood of industry, oil resources, they absolutely will not want to have any fluctuations.
And the United States is now imposing sanctions on Iraq, which just gives Western European countries a better opportunity, all kinds of raw materials that the United States does not provide, Western Europe can provide, and the market in Iraq, which the United States has withdrawn, has just been carved up by Western European countries. At the beginning, in order to respond to the call of the United States, NATO countries did not know how much they had suffered, and they could only watch France, which did not belong to NATO, export its weapons to many countries and earn a large amount of money, and other countries had long been red-eyed. {{}}
This time, Bush did not do it properly, and almost all of them spoke in unison.
Among all the countries, France is more excited, especially for the stealth aircraft on display in Iraq, Dassault's eyes lit up, and the vice president of Dassault personally went to Iraq, hoping to get close to visit.
Of course, Iraq will not easily let this kind of stealth plane be close to observe, even if it is touched, it is very dangerous, who knows if he will leave those coated powders between his fingernails and go back to study?
If you want to get these technologies, Dassault Systèmes, you have to pay a certain price.
At a time when the Middle East was very lively, the Soviet Union in the north did not move.
Because now, Gorbachev is also anxious.
He did not know that his decree could not be carried out at all because of the support of the senators, so he further relied on the power of the masses, for example, Yeltiel, who had quit the Bolshe-Vik Party, and now became good friends with Gorbachev. {{}}
Gorbachev remained convinced that he could lead the Soviet Union to a better, freer and more civilized tomorrow.
Historically, the Soviet Union implemented the election of people's deputies by margin in 1988 and abandoned the one-party system in 1990. It's just that this trend is not completely able to resist by the senators, and some of the people in the senators have passed away, their power is gradually weakening, and there are no firm people who can make up their minds.
Qusay only hopes that the Soviet Union can survive, at least until the Soviets build aircraft carriers for themselves, and for the Soviet Union, there is only so much that Qusay can do.
Qusay's eyes are still on the Persian Gulf region, where there is a nail that must be removed!
Eight kilometers near Manama, the capital of Bahrain, Bahrain, is the naval base of Jafal.
"Yankee, get out!" A leading Arab shouted.
Suddenly, an even more violent voice came from below: "Yankee, get out!" ”
The sound was loud and resounded through the sky.
Since Saudi Arabia and Iraq announced the despicable acts of the Americans, the people of Bahrain have also been outraged, and the actions of the Americans are simply intolerable, and the Americans dare to carry out two assassinations of leaders in their Arab world at the same time!
Mass demonstrations broke out all over Arabia.
If it were somewhere else, at most, it would be a parade in the streets, and then, at most, run in front of the embassy of the other side and demonstrate.
But in Bahrain, it's different, because, there are military bases for the Americans!
The Americans used force against their compatriots, and now it is also right to settle accounts with the American army.
So, in other areas, when it's hot at noon, they don't march, but here, 24 hours a day, they demonstrate.
Anyway, there are many of them, and they can always maintain uninterrupted work in several shifts, but the Americans in it are not good.
The American garrison in Bahrain has only a few hundred people, and now, they are surrounded inside, and they can't get out at all. Listening to the shouts outside every day, their eardrums are about to burst.
"We can't stay like this, we're going to disperse the crowd." Smith, the base's adjutant, said with some depression.
"Smith, how are you going to disperse them? With the gun in your hand? Base Commander Jones asked, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead with his hand.
The Bahrainis were so hateful that they cut off their electricity.
Just a day ago, the angry crowd, who didn't know who did it, actually cut the power line to the base, which was a high-voltage line of several thousand volts! Those people weren't electrocuted!
As a result, their air conditioning system is unusable, and at this time, they have to keep their military appearance neat and tidy, wearing neat military uniforms, but their whole bodies are already soaked.
The base has a backup generator, however, they lack fuel, and one of the base's fuel trucks, after going out the day before yesterday, has not returned. The two soldiers were even more unlucky, surrounded by the crowd and could only eat a few bites of compressed biscuits in the cab, for two days.
"What about our ambassadors? We want to lodge a serious protest with the Bahraini government! Smith said.
"We have already mentioned it, but now, there is no result, the emir of Bahrain has not answered positively, although we have exerted a lot of pressure, but now it seems that this situation, I am afraid that even the emir of Bahrain cannot suppress it." Jones said.
The facts are in front of them, and even they know what is going on, because they are also accomplices, and now in their base, those electromagnetic interference devices are still there, but unfortunately, without electricity, they can't do anything
