Chapter 558: The Rise of the Empire
Attack now! The Americans have begun to arrange in Saudi Arabia, at this time, what are you waiting for? Wait for the heavy troops of the Americans to arrive in Saudi Arabia on a ship, get their bags ready, and then the two sides set up and fight in a dignified manner? Don't dream, the chivalry of Europe is long overdue. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"If we still hold our troops now, and wait until the Americans ease up, then not only will we not get Saudi Arabia, but even Kuwait will have to spit out." Seeing the uncertain expression on Saddam's face, Andrei continued: "This is the last chance, and if you lose this opportunity, no matter how much we help the Soviet Union, you will not be able to return to the sky." Mr. President, if you want to restore the glory of the Babylonian Empire, you need to have a pioneering spirit! ”
Andrei's words are finished, if this Saddam Hussein is not enlightened... Andrei really wants to kill him now and command the Iraqi army to fight himself!
Restore the glory of the Babylonian Empire! This statement really stimulated Saddam, who was still a little hesitant, finally made up his mind: "Okay, then our army will attack immediately!" ”
"Fighting the US army is different from fighting Kuwait, I suggest that you first use air force to thoroughly bomb the air bases in Saudi Arabia, especially the unstable Prince Sultan air base, and then use ground forces, because the air and ground attacks of the Americans are very strong, and the ground forces are easy to suffer heavy casualties without the protection of air power." Andrei said.
In the face of the Soviet Union's rolling armor torrent, NATO is powerless to deal with it, their countermeasure is not to use tanks against tanks, the Soviet tanks are still ahead of the West as a whole, their plan is to use air power to deal with tank forces on the ground!
For the Soviet Union, this plan may not work, because the Soviet Union also has a huge air power, and the Soviet Union has long-range rocket artillery and ballistic missile weapons that they are afraid of, but Iraq is not as good as the Soviet Union, although Iraq has purchased a lot of weapons from the Soviet Union, but in many cases, it is not with weapons that it has combat effectiveness.
Moreover, due to various concerns, the Soviet Union did not sell more advanced ballistic missiles to Iraq, and Iraq still only had Scud missiles in its hands, but the number was already quite large, and the Soviet Union sold almost all the Scud missiles it eliminated to Iraq. The range of the Scud missile is only three hundred kilometers, and even from the territory of the nearest Kuwait, it cannot hit Riyadh.
Historically, with the help of Soviet experts, Iraq has improved the Scud missile to 600 kilometers before it has a more long-range strike capability, but now, this improvement has not yet begun.
However, it shouldn't be a problem now, if your sword isn't long enough, take another step forward! As long as Iraq's troops enter Saudi Arabia's territory, Iraq's ballistic missile forces will be able to soar everywhere in the desert of Saudi Arabia, and it will be easy to meet the launch conditions, and it will be as difficult to discover ballistic missile units in the desert as it is to discover an aircraft carrier formation in the sea.
Historically, coalition forces had complete air superiority and pinned Iraq into a small circle, only to use one-third of their air power to find Iraq's Scud missile launchers.
As for Saddam's thoughts, Andre can also guess that Iraq has always had contradictions with Kuwait in history, so Saddam did not hesitate to occupy Kuwait, but if he really wants to fight Saudi Arabia, Saddam still has a hurdle in his heart.
For example, within OPEC, if some oil-producing countries secretly increase oil production, resulting in lower oil prices, Saudi Arabia will take the initiative to reduce oil production to balance oil prices, which will make Saudi Arabia suffer certain losses, but they do not think that they will suffer losses, this is the demeanor of the real big brother.
All Arab countries are friendly with Saudi Arabia, and if Saddam Hussein takes the initiative to attack Saudi Arabia, he will almost become a sinner in the entire Arab world, and this requires a lot of courage.
And Andre came over to cheer up Saddam, not only to be a ****, but also to set up an archway, where is this beautiful thing! Don't you have a dream of the Babylonian Empire in your heart? It's time to do it!
"Mr. President, the U.S. government is making a statement to the world." At this moment, the intelligence chief, Barzan, walked in and said to Saddam.
Turn on the TV, inside, it is US President George W. Bush, at this time, he is standing on the podium, facing countless microphones and cameras.
"Just five days ago, we received the shocking news that Iraq had brazenly crossed the border, invaded weak Kuwait, and the fighting was spreading all over the city, and there were deaths everywhere, and we would never have imagined that this was what Saddam Hussein's government, which once preached that it was fighting the extremist government of Iran that exported revolution for the sake of the entire Arab world in the Middle East, could do."
"Saddam's government has proven to be an aggressive and offensive barbaric country that tramples on international norms and wants to spread the flames of war throughout the Middle East. We don't care what forces are behind Saddam's government, even if it is to risk starting a third world war, we in the United States need to send troops to save our ally Kuwait, we firmly believe that justice is the axiom of this world, and the aggressor never ends well, just like the original fascist government, their demise is their final result! ”
"This is a choice that we have to choose as a last resort, and it is also a necessary choice, to maintain the peace of the world in the Middle East, to maintain the stability of the world's oil resources, is of great importance to our whole world, more than 35 countries have given important support, whether it is the use of naval and air bases, intellectual and moral assistance, or the dispatch of troops. Each of the countries in the alliance has chosen to take responsibility for this public defense, sharing the common honor. To every man and woman of the U.S. military in the Gulf, it is up to you to bring peace to this chaotic world and hope to the oppressed people. We trust you. The enemies you face know your abilities and courage. The people you are about to liberate will bear witness to the glory and spirit of the American military. …”
Don't listen any further, the United States is declaring war on Iraq! Saddam's face was full of anger: "Now I order, the Rise of the Empire operation, start immediately!" ”
The code name for the operation to attack Saudi Arabia is called Rise of the Empire!
At the same time, the radar station deployed on the border of Iraq and Saudi Arabia transmitted intelligence that in the direction of Saudi Arabia, a large number of warplanes were detected! (To be continued.) )
