Chapter 748: Quick Battle
After occupying Iraq and overthrowing Saddam's government, the United States is about to use force in Iran again!
Although in the first war, the Americans fought badly and were wiped out by tens of thousands of people, but after that, they carried out a war rally against Iraq, thoroughly regarded Iraq as the most important enemy, and within a few days, they defeated Iraq.
And now, not long after the occupation of Iraq, the United States is going to start a war with Iran again!
This is the conclusion reached by military observers all over the world, and the United States first took a tough attitude and demanded that it enter Iranian territory to encircle and suppress the remnants of Iraq, and then dispatched warplanes to patrol the airspace of northwestern Iran, and completely suppressed the air force of the Iranians, so that the Iranian air force did not dare to take off. Originally, the bricks thought that Iran was frightened, and they could only allow the Americans to search for Iraqi resistance forces in Iran.
But the situation turned so fast that the Iranians also launched a ballistic missile attack, firing more than a hundred missiles! Although some of them were intercepted, some of them still fell on the heads of the Americans, especially when a few missiles accurately hit a large logistics supply center set up by the Americans in Saudi Arabia, and the Americans lost a month's food supply for 300,000 people, which was like a blow to the head, which made the Americans very angry.
At the same time, in the eastern plains of Mahabat, Iran's two Revolutionary Guards and the Americans are also in a state of glue.
In terms of numbers, the Americans had an advantage, in terms of equipment, the M1 tanks, M2 infantry fighting vehicles. There are also helicopter gunships, with warplanes in the air, which are supposedly far superior to the Iranians. However, the Americans were unable to gain an advantage in the fight against the Iranians.
What kind of people are that? They can lie on their stomachs in the ditch for a whole day, until their own tank passes by and suddenly fires an RPG, although the front armor of the M1 tank is thick enough, but the armor on the sides, especially the tail, is very weak. It was actually pierced by an antique weapon like an RPG!
A single Iranian soldier dared to attack a group of American soldiers, and a scattered Iranian soldier. In the end, I pulled a grenade to blow myself up, and I didn't want to be captured!
The country of Iran, the people here, is really evil!
Americans have big heads. Meantime. Their logistical supply lines are constantly being harassed, and the strategic purpose of this time was originally to attack the Iraqis, but now, they have encountered the main forces of Iran!
The two sides are constantly engaged in a tug-of-war on a front of more than 100 kilometers. The situation is clearly not in favor of the Americans.
Iranian lives are not worth anything, they are not afraid of death at all. But Americans are very valuable, and one by one a famous soldier went to the battlefield. Dying in a foreign land, the war launched by the United States carried a heavy burden.
In particular, the most unworthy of death were the American fighters who were swept away by the flood! The Iraqis, Saddam Hussein, are the main enemies of the United States!
United States, White House.
"The Iranians continue to stab us in the back at our most critical moments." The elder Bush, who was holding a cigar, took the cigar in his hand and said to his staff: "We did not intend to be an enemy of the Iranians, we only planned to destroy the remnants of Saddam, but now that the Iranians dare to attack us with ballistic missiles, and even more so use troops at the level of armored divisions to engage us, we cannot continue to wait and see." ”
The belligerent old Bush looked over everyone's faces and looked at the expressions of these people.
"What do you think, Beck?" Finally, he looked at Secretary of State Baker, and at this time, there was some uneasiness in the eyes of this man.
"Mr. President, Iran is a special country, and everyone in it is crazy, and we cannot take such a country lightly, let alone start a war lightly." Baker said.
"But now the battle has begun." Bush Sr. said: "We Americans are absolutely not afraid of fighting!" For the sake of freedom and faith, we must fight bravely! Iran is an evil country, in the past 20 years, our people who have been kidnapped in the Middle East can directly or indirectly get involved with Iran, we must let Iran's theocracy end, we must let Iranians return to modern society, we must extend our hand of friendship, and spread democracy and freedom to Iran! How pathetic it is for a country where even women have to be masked on the streets! ”
Bush Sr. is right, over the years, many Americans have been kidnapped in the Middle East, and you can see the manipulation of the Iranians behind them, and the United States actually wants to exchange weapons! The Iran-Contra incident is a disgrace to the entire United States!
Now, the old Bush, who is in high spirits, wants to solve the problem once and for all, so that the Iranians can live a happy and free life!
Die, between countries and countries, interests are always the most important, and Bush Sr. just wants Iran's oil! Now, with the occupation of Iraq, the stocks of the domestic oil conglomerates are rising like rockets.
It is indeed in the interests of the United States to do so, but the question is, what is the price to pay? Will it be unbearable for the United States?
"If there is a head-on war with Iran, I hope it can be resolved quickly." Baker finally put forward his opinion: "It is better to end the war in three months, and besides, we do not send troops to occupy it, and we can rule Iran by propping up proxies." ”
Those people in Iran now hate the United States extremely much, aren't they the ones who stormed the US embassy in the first place? If the United States were to station troops in Iran, it would have to deal with endless attacks. Even now in Iraq, the terrorist attacks have exhausted the U.S. military, and if the U.S. enters Iran, the U.S. will have to receive a large number of bags of bodies covered with American flags every day.
"Yes, of course, it has to be done quickly." Bush Sr. said: "Otherwise, if the Iranians fall to the Soviet Union, it will be quite disadvantageous to us." ”
Although Iran and the Soviet Union are not at eye to eye at each other now, after all, Iran and the Soviet Union are neighbors, if the United States occupies Iran, it will go directly to the door of the Soviet Union, and now the Soviet Union has a lot of domestic problems, but on this kind of issue, it is not necessarily necessary to give in, even if the Soviet Union does not send troops and exports a large number of weapons to Iran, it will be enough for the Americans to have a headache.
"Our army, do you have a plan for a quick battle?" Bush Sr. asked.
"Iran is a huge country, and if we advance directly from the Iraqi border in the west, because the west is mountainous, it will be very difficult for us to supply logistics, so the army dispatched cannot be too large." Defense Minister Dick Cheney said: "Iran's southwestern border, although plain, is limited to the area around Abadan and is further away from Tehran. ”
At the beginning of the Iran-Iraq war, Iraqi soldiers divided into three routes and entered Iran, preparing to destroy Iran in one fell swoop, but in the end, the most fierce fighting was on the southern front, after all, only there was a plain, which was convenient for both sides to fight. And now, if the United States wants to attack Iran, it will face the same problem.
Moreover, even if the US military hits there, the Iranians can continue to retreat, leave Tehran, and persist in the struggle in eastern Iran, no matter how big it is, go into the mountains to hide, play hide and seek with the United States, just like Saddam Hussein now, if they want to completely wipe them out, I don't know if it will be the year of the monkey, and for a country like Iran, as long as the spiritual leader does not fall, there will be countless people who adhere to the faith to go forward and succeed them, and it is very difficult to quickly destroy Iran.
"I want a plan of action." Bush Sr. said: "I want to completely destroy the Iranian plan, and we can no longer tolerate an evil country like Iran to block us America." ”
Historically, the fact that Bush Sr. won the Gulf War but did not continue to march into Iraq was constrained by the international environment at that time, and the United States at that time needed the help of its allies in the Middle East to support each other.
And now, it is completely different, Iraq has launched a terrorist attack on the US mainland, which has made the entire United States hate the enemy, and it has already entered a state of war.
The victory over Iraq like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves has greatly increased the confidence of Bush Sr., although the casualties are a little larger, but the result is there, the United States has won! And in order to continue to destroy the resistance forces in Iraq, it is necessary to fight the mountainous areas of northern Iran, and if the Iranians are disobedient, then they can only destroy Iran together! When this is put to Congress and on various occasions, the old Bush can speak very calmly, and the United States is reasonable.
As for the country's high fiscal deficit, the elder Bush believes that as long as Iran is resolved and oil prices are raised, the US economy will quickly improve.
Anyway, the elder Bush is best at military affairs, and now he needs to use military affairs to solve problems.
"We want to destroy Iran quickly, there is only one solution, two sides." "We have to attack not only from the west, but also from the east, that is, from Afghanistan, and prepare a strong army to cross the eastern part of Iran and appear near Tehran at the height of the fighting with the Iranians from the west, and completely occupy Tehran," Cheney said. As soon as we occupy Tehran and capture their senior leadership, the resistance of the entire Iranian army will collapse in an instant. ”
Obviously, the U.S. military has found self-confidence in the last rapid destruction of Iraq, and to deal with a country like Iran is to attack its vital points! Although it is farther from the east, but in the east of Iran, there is no too strong army, and its own troops from Afghanistan can reach Tehran in two days!
As for how to persuade Afghanistan to agree to the United States using it as a springboard, this is not something that the military needs to consider, this is a diplomatic issue.
Afghanistan! Hearing this, Baker on the side couldn't help frowning, damn it, it's Afghanistan again, doesn't Afghanistan still have to listen to Pakistan and Mhammad? What will it cost to get Pakistan to agree to use Afghanistan as a springboard? (To be continued.) )
