Chapter 743: Revolutionary Guards
Tehran.
It is an ancient city with a long history, but also a modern metropolis, the establishment of the city can be traced back to the 10th century AD, when Tehran was still a small village, when the Mongols brutally slaughtered a large number of Iranians, many Iranians fled here, and after years of development, it became a large city.
Especially after World War II, with the support of the United States, Iran began to modernize, high-rise buildings rose from the ground, and the streets of Tehran began to appear in the West.
Unfortunately, all this, after the sudden outbreak of the revolution, changed all this, and women became vassals of men again, and when they took to the streets, they had to wrap their bodies tightly, otherwise they would be punished by death, and the era of all doctrines ruling the country began, inspired by the spiritual leaders.
It turns out that the adaptability of people is very strong, the Iranians have gradually adapted to this rule, and there has never been no shortage of fanatics in this country, during the Iran-Iraq war, inspired by the mullahs, there were cases of rolling mines with their bodies, what else can make this country compromise?
Now, in the face of provocations from the Americans, Iran, of course, will not compromise!
American planes, dare to invade Iranian airspace? That, of course, will be shot down mercilessly! Facts have proved that the Iranian air force is still the trump card for the defense of the Iranian state, but the consequences of this incident must also be seriously faced.
"We can predict that the Americans will not be willing to lose." Iran's current president, Rafsanjani, analyzed with certainty.
During the Iran-Iraq war, Rafsanjani was often in charge of front-line command, and later became the general secretary of Iran's armed forces. Deeply trusted by the spiritual leader, in 89, he successfully ran for president, and now he has been re-elected as president, and Rafsanjani is moderate to the West. And not aggressive, but if the West infringes on Iran's interests, it will definitely not compromise!
Now that the invasion of the Americans is about to begin, Iran has no choice!
"The Americans have great air superiority, and only by defeating the Americans from the air can we bankrupt their plot to invade us." Hearing Rafsanjani's words, the commander-in-chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Salawi, who was on the side, said.
in Iran. At the same time there are two armed forces, the Iranian regular army and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
The predecessor of the Iranian regular army was a Cossack cavalry division formed by the Russian tsarist government during World War I, composed of Iranians, and gradually developed into an armed force subordinate to Shah Pahlavi. After the success of the Iranian Revolution, the spiritual leaders at that time were very distrustful of the regular Iranian army, and in addition to the constant purge, sending more theocratic personnel into the army to take charge of ideological work, they also established a special army to maintain their own rule in addition to the regular Iranian army. That is, the Revolutionary Guards.
Originally, this force was only a security force. However, the Iran-Iraq war made this army quickly become stronger, and it also began to have an army, air force, navy, and a complete range of arms. Moreover, compared to the original regular army. The Revolutionary Guards are considered to be descendants, and all kinds of resources are inclined to the Revolutionary Guards, and all kinds of advanced weapons are also given priority to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
Anyway, it is the Revolutionary Guards who can fight a tough battle, and the regular Iranian army is a soft egg.
But. It is one thing to fight Iraq, but it is another thing to fight with the United States, the United States has the largest military force in the world, and if you fight Iraq, it will be solved in a few days.
The point is the Air Force! Sarawi is most worried about the Air Force, in the past 20 years, Iran has not updated its main aircraft fleet at all, and has been relying on tinkering to get by, and it will definitely be at a disadvantage when fighting monsters like the United States.
"We must buy a large amount of advanced equipment from abroad and supplement it to our Revolutionary Guards, especially the Air Force." Salavi continued.
Buying from abroad? This sentence is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do, looking at the world, there are not many countries that can develop their own fighters, the United States, France, are all Western countries, Iran is impossible to get, and the Soviet Union, has been scolded by Iran before, the United States is the big Satan, the Soviet Union is the little Satan, Iran's relationship with the Soviet Union is also quite poor, and the road of ordering arms from the Soviet Union is not easy to take.
As for China, during the Iran-Iraq war, Iran ordered a lot of Chinese arms, but China's arms are called good quality and low price, and if they are not good, they are called low-grade and inferior goods.
What to do?
Everyone looked at each other, and no one had a good way.
"It seems that we can only use our ballistic missiles to strike at the Americans who dare to invade us." Rafsanjani said.
In the early stage of the war, Iraq fought quite well and successfully dealt a heavy blow to the Americans, and at that time Iraq relied on Scud missiles.
And this missile, Iran also has it! As early as during the Iran-Iraq war, after discovering that its adversary possessed such missiles, Iran began to try to obtain such missiles, which have begun to spread in large numbers in the world.
Iran's earliest Scud missiles came from Libya, the then Libyan President Gaddafi secretly provided the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps with 2 9P117 launchers and about 20 "Scud" missiles, the acquisition of this missile, so that Iran was like a tiger, but Iran's technology at that time was limited, unable to map and imitate, until five years later, Iran signed an order of up to 500 million US dollars with the North Stick that had just obtained the "Scud" imitation capability, and purchased about 100 "Hwaseong 5" missiles and 6 launch vehicles. He also asked the other side to help the Iranian Aviation Industry Organization build a missile production plant in Siryan, and the "Hwaseong-5" was renamed "Meteor-1" in Iran.
One lacks money and the other lacks technology, and the two sides simply hit it off, and since then they have started a cooperation that has lasted for more than ten years.
This "Hwaseong 5" is basically an upgraded version of the "Scud", with a length of 11.37 meters, a diameter of 0.885 meters, a take-off weight of 5.9 tons, a warhead weighing about 1 ton, and a maximum range of 300 kilometers.
Now Iran is fully capable of producing this Meteor-1 missile on its own.
At the same time, after the successful development of a new type of ballistic missile, the North Stick will sell its technology to Iran, so now, in addition to this Meteor-1, Iran also has a Meteor-2 missile imitating Scud B, and the range of this missile has been expanded to 700 kilometers. At the same time, Iran has also begun the development of the latest Meteor-3, striving for a range of more than 1,000 kilometers.
Iraq does not have a modern military industry, everything depends on purchases, and Iran, with its vast land and abundant resources, can produce all kinds of weapons and equipment on its own, and once the country needs it, it can produce a large number of Meteor series ballistic missiles!
Not only can it be projected directly from the border onto the US troops in Iraq, but it can even be hit across the strait to the US military base in Saudi Arabia on the opposite side! The Americans can prevent Iraq from continuing to have Scud missiles through the blockade, however, they cannot stop Iran from producing ballistic missiles!
"Tomorrow, conduct a test launch of our Meteor-2 ballistic missile." Rafsanjani said: "With the test launch to warn the Americans that if they want to invade our country, there will be a price!" ”
After saying this, Rafsanjani's tone became heavier: "At the same time, another important task for us now is to drive the Iraqis out of our land!" And those Kurdish armies, all of them must disappear! ”
This war, no matter how you say it, also has a depressing element, in fact, it has nothing to do with Iran, it is all made by the Iraqis! They fled from Iraq to the territory of Iran, provoked the Americans, and as a result, Iran had to wipe their ass!
If it had been another country, it would have happily followed the United States to solve the separatist forces hidden in the mountains, but Iran is not another country, Iran is Iran! A great Persian nation! And the United States, is the Great Satan! The Americans want to enter Iran and exterminate the Iraqis? Stop dreaming! Iran's sacred territory is inviolable!
"Yes, our two infantry divisions of the Revolutionary Guards have already been transferred there." "We will definitely get rid of these forces," Salavi said. ”
After the meeting, Rafsanjani sat on the chair, still having a headache, he knew that the United States is also tough, this war, I am afraid it is inevitable, and at this time, it is really meaningless to fight this nest war.
"Report, Mr. Ben asks to see you." At that moment, the assistant pushed open the door and said to Rafsanjani.
Mr. Ben? Hearing this, Rafsanjani immediately stood up: "Please let him in!" ”
As early as the Iran-Iraq War, as the commander-in-chief of Iran's armed forces at that time, Rafsanjani had a deep relationship with Mr. Ben, and it was through Mr. Ben that Iran obtained a lot of weapons, including spare parts for the much-needed Tomcat fighters, so that Iran has always had air superiority in the battle with Iraq.
At this time, what good news will Mr. Ben bring to himself when he arrives secretly?
Soon, Mr. Ben walked in, but Mr. Ben did not come alone, behind him, there was a tall middle-aged man, who looked like a Caucasian person.
"Mr. President, let me introduce, this is Mr. Xiao, a major international arms dealer." (To be continued.) )
