Chapter 729: Israel? Turkey?
At the beginning, the dream of the British empire where the sun never sets was shattered, and when they packed up the bed and rolled away, they did not have any good intentions, and left their hands behind, and Israel was a nail buried by the British in the Middle East world.
The Jewish nation is the smartest nation in the world, they rely on their own minds, they can mix all over the world, even the most powerful United States in the world, is dominated by the Jewish elite, a large number of Jewish immigrants, forced on the land of Palestine, to create a state of Israel.
The contradictions between the Jews and the local Palestinians are irreconcilable, and the war between the two sides has been going on, and the Jews firmly hold the initiative, for which three Middle East wars have broken out, and each time, the Arabs are the losers.
Because of the war, the Arabs hated Israel. During the Gulf War in history, Iraq repeatedly fired Scud missiles at Israel in a vain attempt to justify its actions and portray itself as a righteous image. And Israel is also aggrieved and has no choice, it has been strictly ordered by the United States in advance, and it must endure it! The United States fears that if Israel strikes Iraq, it will raise anti-American sentiment in the Middle East and collapse the coalition army that they have managed to manage.
And now, because of the crossing of Mhammad, Shostakovich was sent to point out Saddam, and those precious Scud missiles were used against the Americans and were not wasted on Israeli soil, so this war has nothing to do with Israel.
But after all, Israel is in the Middle East! The U.S. 3rd Army in Europe doesn't seem to have landed in Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coastal cities? Did you run away to Israel?
Thinking of this, Mhammad realized that Saddam's situation was even more worrisome, and once the powerful 3rd Army of the United States pounced from the direction of Israel, it would be easy to pounce on Baghdad!
Moreover, with the good relations between the two countries. It was easier for the United States to get adequate supplies from Israel. Even, the Israeli Defense Forces can follow suit and attack Iraq together!
However, Israel does not share a border with Iraq, and if you want to send troops from Israel, you have to cross Jordan. Will King Hussein of Jordan allow the United States to cross the Jordanian border because of pressure from the United States?
Silently rejecting this plan in his heart, Mhammad knew that the other direction was also the focus of attention.
Turkey!
Historically, Turkey is a country that is quite coercive, and in order to join NATO, it did not hesitate to follow the American master and join the United Nations army to fight in North Korea. Later, as a reward, Turkey successfully joined NATO, relying on the huge NATO behind it, Turkey is full of confidence, and in the face of those dirt buns in the Middle East, Turkey's presence is full.
And now, at a time when the American masters are going all out against Iraq. Turkey, of course, is also obliged, and the border between Turkey and Iraq is 300 kilometers long. In addition to the higher altitude in the east, the large border line in the west is only a few hundred meters, and the land is flat and suitable for military operations.
And if you enter from the border with Turkey, first of all, there is Mosul, where the Kurds live. U.S. troops will definitely be welcome!
In later generations, the Turkish army entered the Iraqi border in a big way under the banner of counter-terrorism and the elimination of IS, and the Iraqi government protested. There is nothing to be done.
Compared with the Israeli side, it is obvious that the Turkish threat is greater, entering from the Turkish side, although there will be some difficult mountain roads, but the locals will support the United States, once the Americans pounce on the back, Saddam's hometown Tikrit will also fall into crisis, and Tikrit, which is almost the hometown of Saddam's most combat-effective Republican Guard.
Originally, I thought that like in the previous Gulf War, the Americans would enter from the Saudi side, but now, after reconsideration, I found that the real strategy of the Americans was to fight from the north to the south, first striking at Iraq's soft underbelly, and after controlling these areas, the Iraqi army, whose main force was still in Kuwait, lost its foundation and could easily be driven into the sea by the Americans.
Thinking of this, Mhammad felt a pain in his fingers, and before he knew it, the smoke had burned to the filter.
Extinguishing the cigarette, Mahmad said: "Inform Shaw that the people's war in Iraq will start as soon as possible!" ”
Now let the main forces of Iraq come back to help, I am afraid that it is too late, moreover, the attack planes of the Americans are definitely waiting, once the main forces of Iraq go north, they will bomb along the way, and the Iraqi army will be crushed.
It's a pity that our own production capacity is limited, and by the time the new Scud missiles needed by Iraq are produced, they will no longer be able to transport them, and the Americans are very strict in checking them, and they can come up with them with their toes when they send Scud missiles to Iraq under the noses of the Americans, and once the Americans know that the mastermind behind this war is Mhammad, the US troops in Gwadar Port will come straight to Islamabad.
The roar of the engine echoes on the river surface, a ground effect aircraft, it needs ten turbofan engines, the noise is not ordinary, and the formation composed of ten ground effect aircraft is even more magnificent.
However, there were no enemies along the way, in Saudi Arabia, in western Iraq, it was a desert area, uninhabited, and when entering the Euphrates River in the territory of Babylon Province, there were already air force fighters in front of the clearing work.
Clear! Shielding the villages on the rivers along the way, this work was done by the Americans very resolutely, all in order to ensure the safety of their first raiding troops!
Therefore, the Americans used highly efficient thermobaric bombs, and when the fighters dropped the bombs, the mushroom clouds rose high, as if they were nuclear bombs, and after the bombs, the whole village ceased to exist.
War has nothing to do with civilians? It was Iraq that broke the rules in the first place! Iraq's attack on the US mainland is mainly an attack on American civilians! The collapse of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, thousands of Americans died in an instant! It's all unarmed civilians! If Iraq wants to do something to American civilians, why should Americans care about the lives and deaths of Iraqis?
If it weren't for the fear that it would have gone too far and would make it impossible to account for it in the international community, especially if it provoked the extreme resentment of the surrounding Middle East countries to the detriment of the United States, the United States would almost want to completely destroy the civilians in Iraq.
Along the Euphrates, an ancient river that has nurtured the culture of the two river basins for thousands of years, the ground effect aircraft is moving rapidly, and just when it is dark, the ground effect aircraft descends to the river surface, slows down, and reaches the river.
The hatch in the back opened, and the American GIs who shouted "go, go, go" leapt down from above, and with the roar of the engines, the M1 main battle tank also quickly drove down from above.
With these main battle tanks, surround Baghdad, they have plenty of confidence!
The advantage of ground effect aircraft is not only that the transportation volume is large and fast, but more importantly, it does not need to consume precious fuel all the way! Especially for the M1 main battle tank, which is a monster that drinks oil, it is even more advantageous.
After driving down, according to the original plan, they began to move towards the Baghdad area.
The main task of this vanguard force is to blockade Baghdad and wait until the army arrives at the rear, and then encircle and annihilate it!
M1 tanks, M2 armored vehicles, rumbling forward.
After sending off the American soldiers, the ground effect aircraft took off again and returned according to the original route, preparing for the second intense transport.
The night soon darkened, and with the help of sophisticated night vision devices, Corporal Rost of the 46th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the United States stepped on the accelerator and drove the M1 tank wildly.
It was a pre-chosen route, with few villages along the way, large paddy fields crushed by tracks, and they made their way through the fields at a rapid pace.
Fight! Fight bravely! Thinking of the homeland of the United States being ravaged by these inferior miscellaneous things, Rost's heart was filled with anger.
His M1 tank, rushing to the front, just after advancing five kilometers, bright spots appeared in the night vision goggles.
What is that? At this time, he could only see one bright spot, and Rost knew that the situation was not good.
"Attention, the enemy is found, the target is expected to be about five kilometers, ready to engage the enemy!" The captain's voice was already heard in the headphones.
That bright spot is the Iraqi night vision device, which is illuminated by active infrared headlights! At this time, the outline of your infrared imager is not yet visible, and the distance is still very far.
Iraqis, do they still want to fight? This equipment should have been eliminated a long time ago!
The night vision device of the United States has long been a passive infrared imager, and the Iraqi army is still using the infrared headlights of the Soviets.
If you find the enemy first, you can fire the enemy first!
Opposite, a company of the 7th Armored Brigade of the Hammurabi Division of Iraq, with its T-80U main battle tanks, was heading west.
Thanks to Mr. Xiao's help, the Hammer Rabi Division has replaced the original monkey version of the T-72 and replaced it with the Soviet T-80U tank, which also uses gas turbines, with better mobility and more advanced gun elastic performance, but limited by the backward military industry of the Soviet Union, as the main equipment for night battles, infrared night vision devices still use active infrared headlights!
Except for a small number of Pakistani-made Type 90 tanks equipped in the 8th Armored Brigade, which use infrared imagers, the rest are all of this color.
With infrared lights illuminating the road, these tanks are walking very slowly, and they are patrolling.
After hastily retreating from Kadima province, the Hammurabi Division, which arrived first, began to faithfully carry out President Saddam's orders, keeping a guard around Baghdad and conducting more frequent patrols at night in order to guard against a sneak attack by the Americans from the direction of Saudi Arabia.
