Chapter 557: Urging the Attack
"General Andrei, welcome to Baghdad. Pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info "The reception of Andrei was Iraq's Minister of Defense Adnan, and it was not the first time that the two sides had met.
"What about President Saddam? I want to see him. AndrΓ© was also very direct.
If for ordinary people, the president is the head of state and is high, and Andrei, although his status is not low, is only the commander of a military district, in this case, Andrei cannot directly think of seeing him.
However, Andrei's identity is absolutely unusual, for example, now with Saddam, he is already like a good friend, and for example, Andrei is the biggest support behind Iraq's operation, once something goes wrong, Andrei will use the Soviet Union's force to solve it at a critical time.
"The president is in the presidential palace." Adnan said, "Please come with me." β
Leaving the airport in a car, Andrei looked out the window at Baghdad, which had not been affected by the war, and had not spread since the war against Iran, but soon, the peace of the place would be shattered.
"Brother Andrey, welcome to Baghdad." On the red carpet of the presidential palace, Saddam greeted Andrei cordially, and although the pomp was not large, it was also very exquisite.
"Mr. President, put all of this away, and, I suggest you leave the Presidential Palace and work in a safer place, which is subject to bombardment at any moment." Andrei's first words at the meeting made Saddam's face unhappy.
This is the Presidential Palace! It's Baghdad! It is the most heavily defended place in Iraq! Even the S-200 anti-aircraft missiles exported by the Soviet Union some time ago were deployed near Baghdad to defend the sky of Baghdad, and in this case, Baghdad must be very safe!
"Brother Andrey, our air force can protect our safety, and the weak Saudi air force is not our opponent at all." While walking towards the living room inside, Saddam said confidently to Andrei.
"But we are facing not only the Saudi air force, but also the United States, and the NATO air force!" "Iraq needs to be prepared for the possibility of a big war," Andrei said. β
The Air Force of the United States, NATO! Saddam Hussein has always been dissatisfied with these guys who support the Jews and bully their Palestinian brothers.
Now, hearing Andre's words, Saddam Hussein was stunned for a moment: "Are you saying that Saudi Arabia is in the same boat as the United States and allows the United States to station troops?" β
"Yes." "We have been monitoring the situation in Saudi Arabia, and after the occupation of Kuwait, the United States immediately expressed its absolute support, and the American troops remaining in Pakistan are passing through Oman to Saudi Arabia, and the American air force has also been transferred to the newly built Prince Sultan Air Base in central Saudi Arabia," Andre said. More than 50 fighters arrived in advance. β
This information has already been notified to the Iraqi side, and it seems that this confident president did not pay attention to this information at all, and put all his energy into the rectification work in Kuwait!
"Mr. President, I suggest that the Iraqi army immediately take the initiative and occupy the whole of Saudi Arabia! Otherwise, it is very easy for the United States to directly intervene in the current situation in the Middle East under the pretext of Saudi Arabia. Andrei said: "Now the situation is critical, and there is no time to delay!" β
Like the Gulf War in history, this Saddam seems to be very satisfied with occupying Kuwait, thinking that this will be a peace of mind, but he cannot fight enough courage to attack Saudi Arabia. Moreover, this optimistic guy has always believed that the United States will not attack, and the United States is here, just to scare!
Moreover, unlike history, in history, Saudi Arabia did not face much threat, and it was very determined to join the United States and allow the United States to station troops, but now it is different, with the absolute support of the Soviet Union, Saudi Arabia is deeply aware of the danger, and cooperation with the United States is proceeding quite quickly!
Pakistan's garrison has landed from Oman and advanced towards the Saudi border, because the Soviet Union occupied the Persian Gulf, so the United States did not think of going through the Persian Gulf to enter Saudi Arabia, but through Oman, and the US Air Force quickly transferred to the humble Prince Sultan Air Base, which is also rapidly expanding, and will soon become the largest US military base in the Middle East.
Moreover, the European army is also being assembled, and the United States wants to fight a big war in the Middle East!
When the Soviet Union occupied the island country, it was inconvenient for the United States to start, so it could only watch, and President Carter at that time was a soft egg, and he did not have the confidence to use force.
It's different now, President Reagan is soft or not, and his Vice President Bush is definitely a belligerent guy! Moreover, the Middle East is related to the energy security of the Western world led by the United States, and if the United States allows the entire Middle East to become the world of Iraq, then the United States will not have a good time in the future.
So, the Americans quite actively entered the state of war!
Will the USSR be able to come to the fore? This is quite inappropriate, the Middle East people love freedom and reject foreign interference, and the United States has entered Saudi Arabia, although it has been welcomed by the Saudi royal family, the people below, the protests are absolutely constant. And if the Soviet Union interfered in the war situation here, it would be even more disgusting to the local people. Moreover, if the USSR entered the war, it would be directly against the United States, which would simply be the fuse of the Third World War!
So, only with the help of Iraq! Instigate Iraq to hurry into a state of war, drive out the Americans, and occupy all of Saudi Arabia!
In fact, although the Soviet Union did not directly participate in the war, the Soviet Union now has a large number of people in Iraq, and Iraq is equipped with a large number of advanced Soviet weapons, which need to be used under the guidance of Soviet instructors! For example, in the Iraqi Air Force there were close to fifty thousand Soviet instructors! Advanced MiG-25, MiG-29, all operated with the help of Soviet instructors.
Among the more than one million troops in the entire Iraq, the Soviet Union has nearly 100,000 instructor troops, which is a fairly large proportion, which is why Andrei dared to come to Iraq, these instructors are almost all Andrei's subordinates.
"The Americans intervened in the Vietnam War and suffered failure, and now, if they want to interfere in our affairs in the Middle East, the Americans are doomed to failure!" Saddam Hussein said: "The true God will guide us to victory!" β
This kind of blind optimism is probably present in the entire Iraqi army, right? The defeat of the United States in Vietnam was mainly due to the limitations of the terrain, and guerrillas emerged in an endless stream, but, in Saudi Arabia, there are deserts everywhere, and that set does not work at all!
"Mr. President, I am here to urge you to attack immediately!" Andrei stressed again. (To be continued.) )
