It's been a month since the air strikes, and the Iraqi army is slowly recovering.

In a hidden bomb shelter, Saddam Hussein met Shostakovich and the computer that kept in touch with him.

Shostakovich showed him a newly received e-mail with very complicated content in Russian.

In the many years of cooperative relations between Iraq and the Soviet Union, there were many Russian translators, and Saddam Hussein immediately called for a translator and turned out the contents of the e-mail.

The content of the email may seem like a lot, but it's concise. He said that at the request of Defense Minister Marshal Olgakov, the General Staff of the Soviet Army and its subordinate Military Intelligence Unit (GRU, GRU) hacked into the computer of the US military base in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and intercepted a large number of military secrets of the other side, including the US military's military deployment in the Gulf region and various military operation arrangements, the US internal security situation, and the situation of the security forces of the United States. On these basis, combined with the actual combat strength of the US military, the domestic situation and the psychology of the people, it simulates how to effectively defend and attack the US military without direct intervention by the Soviet army! The plan puts forward three sets of operational plans, namely, "missile warfare," "unrestricted warfare," and "urban guerrilla warfare." The article coldly proposes the use of special forces and armed intelligence personnel behind enemy lines to use all means to strike at the enemy's vital forces, and to attack all personnel and facilities that can help the enemy, even if they are civilians and civilian facilities, and the means include car bombs, model aircraft bombs, human suicide bombs, and so on. The whole story is about how to kill and destroy behind enemy lines efficiently, bring maximum damage to the enemy, and minimize their living forces.

He also mentioned that the U.S. military is about to carry out a large-scale bombing of Tikrit, Lao Sa's hometown, and requires intelligence personnel to need to additionally assess the U.S. military's air-ground integrated strike capability on the ground.

Saddam Hussein couldn't believe his eyes.

"That's what you call timing? Isn't there any other way, the great Soviet Red Army will not go out to deter the US imperialists, even if only to pull the Black Sea Fleet to the bay. No, even if it is put in the Eastern Mediterranean, the US imperialists will also converge a lot. ”

"If you don't have military spending, I can provide it all, and you can provide as much as you need."

Saddam Hussein frowned and smoked cigarette after cigarette.

"Your Excellency. I repeat once again that we are only private businesses and have nothing to do with any country. These plans are just suggestions, and the right to choose whether to implement them at this time is up to you. Shostakovich said with a calm expression

After hearing this, Saddam Hussein closed his eyes and pondered, while the cigarette in his hand was still burning

"You and I both understand that if I do what you Soviets offer, Iraq will bear all the wrath of the Americans. My people will be slaughtered like never before! It's going to be a hell, a hell of blood and fire! And if I reveal these things to the Americans, will they see you as enemies," Saddam said angrily.

"Hehe, Your Excellency, since the Cold War, the Americans have been the enemies of our country, and we have countless plans to attack them, and so have their plans to attack us. Even if you give them this plan. Presumably, they just looked at it, laughed at it, and locked it in a safe to slowly mold. Shostakovich expertly puffed out the smoke ring. Tell Lao Sa the facts.

Saddam Hussein closed his eyes in pain, and in his mind at this time, there were two villains constantly circling, and a villain with sharp horns and a tail and a sharp fork in his hand kept bewitching that accepting the Soviets' plan was the best way. This will do unprecedented harm to all Americans, and you will become the greatest hero the Arab world has ever seen; And another villain with a halo on his head persuaded that if you did that, it would provoke the anger of the Americans like never before, and Iraq would become a hell. Those who love you will ...... The villain with sharp horns immediately overturned the halo villain with a sharp fork, and roared: "We are now in hell with our right hand and abyss with our left hand, any compromise and cowardice will only bring greater disaster, if it does not bring great harm and losses to the Americans, they will not stop, and now even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, we have to try it, anyway, if we fail, we will go to the gallows." And if you succeed, you will be a hero like never before in the Arab world! ”

After a long time, Saddam Hussein opened his eyes, his eyes were firm, and his fists were clenched.

"How sure are your plans?"

"If everything goes well, I'm 70% sure!"

"Well, tell me about your plan, you have to explain every detail of the plan to me."

"Of course, Your Excellency."

Shostakovich was also very excited, he knew that Saddam had already made a choice, of course, he admired Hammad for having already predicted that Saddam Hussein would cling to any straw that could get out of the predicament like a drowning man.

Shostakovich said very sincerely: "Your Excellency, this also requires your full cooperation, and we will provide you with maximum help!" ”

United States, White House.

"We don't have time to wait any longer, our people can endure the Vietnam War for several years, but the Gulf War that endures us is measured in months, and for more than a month, our powerful military force can only rely on air strikes to win our honor?" Bush Sr. looked at his aides and said, "It's time for us to move forward with the next step!" ”

According to the operational plan drawn up by the army, first rely on high-intensity air strikes to hit the morale of the Iraqi army, destroy Iraq's war potential, and cause the Iraqi army to suffer heavy losses in the air strikes, and then launch a ground offensive when the time is ripe.

But now, the air raids of the Air Force have already appeared strong from the outside and capable from the middle.

Iraq's Scud missiles have become the biggest threat to the coalition forces, and the coalition forces' air power has to be mobilized, and almost 80 percent of the forces are used to search for Iraq's mobile Scud missile launchers, and the forces used to bombard ground targets have to be reduced.

For this reason, the United States has had to intensify the attack of cruise missiles, but now, cruise missiles frequently fail because of interference, and the cost of cruise missiles is far higher than that of bombs dropped by aircraft.

By now, the United States' finances have long been tightened, and modern warfare is all about money.

The incident in Dhahran is now quiet for the time being, and it is time for the United States to give a decent explanation to the country, and use a clean battle to show the strength of the American army!

"Recent events have been unusual." William Webster, the director of the CIA, said: "We have investigated the Scud missiles that attacked Dhahran, and the guidance accuracy is quite high, and it should have been improved by the technology of a certain country. Moreover, our agents, who ventured into Iraq, discovered that they were on the route of our cruise missiles, using jammers to interfere. Iraq will never study these technologies on its own, and there are still black hands behind the scenes! ”

There are also black hands behind the scenes! Improve the guidance accuracy of the Scud, use the jammer! These are not Iraqi technologies, there is also a country with excellent technology, and then it supports Iraq behind it!

As for who is behind this scene, I'm afraid it goes without saying, everyone knows it in their hearts.

"The Soviets must have done it! They openly support us at the United Nations, but now that we are attacking Iraq, they must be dissatisfied, and they will wreak havoc behind us! Secretary of State James Baker said.

"Don't worry about it!" Bush Sr. said: "We now need to use the powerful force of the United States to crush Iraq, restore Kuwait, and at the same time realize the long-term stationing of troops in Kuwait!" ”

After all, Iraq was the little brother of the Soviet Union at the beginning, and now the Soviet Union's national strength is weak, and what reforms are being carried out, and the more it changes, the more chaotic it becomes, and it has no time to take care of Iraq, so it can only make a trick behind its back, and these will not stop the United States!

"Our army, is it ready for an offensive by the ground forces?" Bush Sr. continued to ask questions about his aides.

"Yes, Mr. President, our army has been preparing." Defense Minister Dick Cheney said: "General Schwarzkopf has developed an air-ground integrated battle plan, codenamed Desert Sabre, which will launch five offensive groups from east to west on the Saudi-Kuwaiti and Iraqi borders of about 500 kilometers, with the goal of eating eight divisions of the Iraqi Republican Guard and recovering Kuwait!" Among them, the joint forces of the Eastern Front of the Arab countries, attacking north along the coast and occupying Kuwait City; Our 1st Marine Expeditionary Force attacked north from the "elbow" of the Shakoh border, seized the Mutrah Pass, cut off the road from Kuwait City to the northeastern part of Kuwait, and attracted the main forces of the Iraqi Army to Kuwait; The joint forces of the Arab countries on the northern front attacked from the western section of the Shako border in the direction of Alisemim airport, and cooperated with friendly forces to eliminate the Iraqi army in Kuwait and occupy Kuwait City; Our Seventh Army carried out the main assault, advancing north from the west of the Batingan River, penetrating deep into Iraq, and then moving eastward, in coordination with its left neighbor, the Eighteenth Airborne Army, to encircle and annihilate the Iraqi Republican Guard south of Basra; Our 18th Airborne Corps carried out auxiliary assaults, penetrated from the Saudi-Iranian border into Iraq to the banks of the Euphrates, controlled Highway 8 east of Semawah to Baghdad, isolated Iraqi troops in Kuwait, and worked with the Seventh Army to annihilate the Iraqi Republican Guard. ”

A schematic diagram was played on the projector, and on the wide offensive surface, the five-way troops marched in concert to bulldoze the Iraqi army in one fell swoop! (To be continued.) )
