Chapter 673: Peace Comes

"Moreover, we in Iraq can also agree with the return of the backward and decaying royal family to Kadima province, and we can also agree with their rule over Kadima province, but we have an absolute condition, that is, we will not allow the combined army to be stationed! This is our bottom line, we resist the entry of the hegemonic countries of the Western world in the name of peace, and we will not forget all the crimes committed by the Western world in our Arab world! Tariq's face at this time already had a grim look: "If Western troops are stationed in Kadima Province, this is a challenge to our Iraq, we will fight to the death, and we will use all kinds of means, including the use of biological and chemical weapons!" ”

"Smack." Seeing this, the elder Bush angrily turned off the TV screen.

Damn it!

What sincerity is there in the terms of Iraq's withdrawal of troops, which will not allow the presence of coalition forces in a hurry? As long as there is no protection from the American army, the Iraqi army can enter Kuwait again at any time!

Moreover, Iraq said very seriously, taking a bite of Kadima Province, never mentioning the name of Kuwait, making it clear that it still has the appearance of Kuwait!

And the oil fields in northern Kuwait, they still haven't paid it back? According to the division of Iraq, those oil fields have been divided into Basra province!

"We will never agree to this condition!" Bush Sr. gritted his teeth and said: "We must continue to increase the number of troops, prepare for battle, and start the second strike within five days!" This time, the army will not let us down! The army that we maintain with huge taxpayers' money is not a bunch of rice buckets that even Iraq can't beat! ”

Admiral Schwarzkopf, who was listening to it, turned red and white, didn't he make it clear that he was a rice bucket?

"Mr. President, since Iraq has made this statement, then we should also have a diplomatic response." Secretary of State Baker, who was still sane, said: "I think. If Iraq were to withdraw its troops, it would be to withdraw its troops unconditionally and from all Kuwaiti territory, so that it could demonstrate its peace-loving sincerity. ”

Baker was a scheming man, and the Plaza Accord at the beginning turned on the crisis in the United States. He sees far ahead.

When the Iraqis made such a statement, it is as if the United States has become the main culprit in initiating the war, and the United States must strive for a bright image in order to do so, and absolutely must not let the Iraqis splash dirty water!

Moreover, he also knew deeply that the Middle East countries are now allowing the United States and other Western countries to station troops for the purpose of confronting Saddam, and once Saddam Hussein admits his instigation, he has expressed his sincerity for peace. They will certainly do their best to promote peace and avoid war.

This is not good news for the United States.

Baker guessed accurately, just after Iraq made this statement, these rich soft eggs in the Middle East immediately abandoned their American friends and went to Saddam Hussein to kneel and lick.

Got the news, King Hussein of Jordan. He went to Baghdad again to confer with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. After repeated consultations and telephone discussions with the heads of state of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries, a peace agreement was reached.

Iraq no longer recognizes the province of Kadima, and Kuwaiti territory south of Basra will be fully returned to Kuwait. Iraq reaffirmed Kuwait's recognition as a sovereign State. Iraq is willing to withdraw from Kuwait in its entirety as long as it does not allow any foreign troops to be stationed.

With such an agreement reached, King Hussein of Jordan felt that he had done his best, and in order to persuade President Saddam to return the oil fields in the north, he had to compromise on other fronts. For example, regarding the Coalition Forces sending troops to Kuwait, they were all abandoned.

Kuwait has experienced the collapse of the country, the army has long been gone, and now Kuwait's restoration has only an administrative power, which is very fragile. However, after all, it was for Saddam to re-recognize Kuwait, which was simply impossible for the stubborn Saddam Hussein in the past.

You know, Iraq has just won a battle and knocked out the American army! At such a time, Iraq has taken the initiative to withdraw its troops, and it is fully able to show its sincerity.

Otherwise, Iraq can continue to hold on, and the war will continue, and the dead and wounded are all Arab brothers!

Being able to negotiate peace and prevent Arab brothers from killing each other is exactly what the Gulf countries want to see.

Thus, without consulting the United States at all, a peace agreement was born.

On 13 April, Iraq's huge army, from Kuwait, returned to Iraq in high spirits via Highway 8.

Many reporters have come to Kuwait to broadcast the event, and although the United States has adopted measures to control press freedom, journalists are still free to broadcast in areas beyond the control of the United States, such as Kuwait.

Iraq does not seem to be hiding its armed forces, so, under the lens of reporters, there are roaring T-80U main battle tanks, four-axle all-wheel-drive, anti-aircraft missile systems with large off-road heavy truck chassis, and even more than a dozen Scud missile launchers!

When you go, you have to show off your strength! The eyes of the Americans were about to be on fire, but they were surprisingly calm on this day, and did not take off their warplanes to strike at the Iraqi army.

The Scud missiles that they had been looking for with a lot of air power flashed right in front of their eyes, but they couldn't strike them!

The peace agreement has been reached, and the United States has actually been sold by the coalition forces and the Arabs! If they attack again at this time, it will be a deliberate attempt to sabotage the peace, and they will have a bad image in the whole world.

At the beginning, the United States came in under the banner of helping Kuwait recover its country, but now that the Kuwaiti royal family is about to return, the United States has no reason to interfere.

Two days later, United Nations personnel entered Kuwaiti territory for verification and confirmed the complete dispersal of Iraqi forces.

With the large-scale dispersion of the Iraqi army, the situation in the Gulf began to ease. However, around the fact of Iraq's aggression against Kuwait, the various forces have been at loggerheads and accusing each other. More behind-the-scenes political deals are being carried out intensely.

On the Iraqi side, after inflicting heavy losses on the coalition forces under Shostakovich's scheme, Saddam Hussein took the initiative to make peace and withdraw from Kuwait while still having an advantage, which not only temporarily freed the United States from the unjust name of invading and occupying other countries morally, but also left the United States with an embarrassing dilemma.

Because the United States did not get the expected fruits of victory (mastering the hegemony of Middle East oil and the right to garrison troops), it was slapped a few times by Lao Sa, and just when it was holding back enough energy to find the field, it was told that the other party would not play anymore, and it would be as aggrieved as it wanted.

In the absence of the dividends of the war, and under the pressure of domestic arms dealers and oil merchants, the Bush administration insisted that Iraq must compensate Kuwait for war losses totaling more than $2 trillion (including military compensation totaling up to $300 billion to the coalition forces); consciously accept international supervision for the destruction of offensive armaments; There are three conditions on which Saddam Hussein and his aides must step down and be tried by an international tribunal.

Obviously, this is a condition that Iraq and Saddam Hussein will never accept, and Foreign Minister Tariq even said domineeringly on the news at the time: If you want to fight, then you will fight! I hope that the US imperialists have equipped enough body bags, and the 12,000 body bags (historical facts) prepared last time have long been used up!

The Soviet Union, on the other hand, hopes that you will stop here with the US imperialists, and that everyone will continue to live in the atmosphere of hello, hello, hello, and hello in the global village......

Under the instructions of Hammad, the Pakistani army of the coalition members said that since Iraq and Kuwait reached a peace agreement and withdrew from Kuwait, the war was over, and the Pakistani army would gradually withdraw from the Gulf region and return to the country, except for some troops who continued to stay and fulfill the defense agreement with Saudi Arabia. With the beginning of Pakistan, France, Italy, the Czech Republic, Poland and other European countries also said that the war was over and their fighters wanted to go home. And Middle Eastern countries such as Egypt, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates did not even greet the US imperialists, and directly withdrew their troops. In addition to the fact that Britain still expressed unwavering support for any actions of its American cousin.

The Bush administration of the elder Bush administration, which did not want the coalition forces to break up, sent diplomatic envoys everywhere to rush to relevant countries, lured and coerced, and constantly used bargaining chips such as economic aid and military trade aid, and indeed let some countries continue to stay in the coalition forces and wait for the dispatch of General Schwarzkopf, but Pakistan was unmoved, and the withdrawal plan was carried out in an orderly manner, because Mhammad knew very well that he had already prepared a "big hole" for the US imperialists, and he was waiting for the US imperialists to jump stupidly. Don't get involved in the pit yourself.

They have been fighting each other for months. During this time, with the help of Saudi Arabia, an armored brigade of Pakistan escorted the Kuwaiti royal family back to Kuwait.

Subsequently, out of fear of Iraq, a strong neighbor, and Saddam, the Kuwaiti royal family unsurprisingly signed a joint defense and mutual assistance agreement with the US military, allowing the US military to obtain the right to use military bases such as Doha and Jaber.

Iraq's Foreign Minister Tariq threatened on television news that the Kuwaiti side had violated the terms of the original peace agreement on the withdrawal of troops, which stipulated that Kuwait would not be allowed to enter any foreign troops.

But the coalition led by the U.S. imperialists continues to use low- and medium-intensity air strikes to explain that the war is not over, Lao Sa, are you ready to continue to take over? (To be continued.) )
