Chapter 647: Desert Storm

"President Mhammad, you don't need to teach us a lesson." Aziz couldn't help but blush.

"If he really wants to start a war against the United States, it should not be in the Middle East, in Kuwait, and it should be burned to the United States, that is Saddam's ability." Mhammad said: "What is the role of kidnapping civilians like this? Look, the US Congress was still stuck and unwilling to allocate funds for the war, but now, stimulated by this incident, the US Congress has passed a war budget of $50 billion, and the US troops are still being mobilized, and if Saddam Hussein refuses to withdraw his troops from Kuwait, the United States will definitely start a war. ”

Saddam Hussein kidnapped these civilians in order to negotiate with the US Government and get the US Government to agree to Iraq's occupation of Kuwait, but this is impossible, and the attitude of the United States is to help Kuwait recover.

If you really want to start a war, should you also burn the flames of war to the United States? This sentence made Aziz's eyes light up, but when he remembered that the United States really wanted to use force against Iraq, Aziz felt that his eyes were dark, the military strength of the United States is quite strong, can Iraq resist it?

"Let these civilians go, they have nothing to do with the war, and besides, letting go of these people will make Saddam's image righteous again." Mhammad said.

"However, it will cost us an advantage." "If the U.S. promises us to maintain the status quo, we will consider releasing these hostages," Aziz said. ”

"That's impossible." "Your invasion is wrong, because Kuwait is related to the oil security of the United States, and the United States will not stop, and these hostages will not make the Americans fall into the trap, but will only make the Americans attack more frantically," Mahmad said. ”

"So what's in it for us?" Aziz asked. If these people are released, the United States will not agree to Iraq's terms. Just for a good reputation?

"The war will be limited to Kuwait, the goal of the multinational force is to help Kuwait recover its territory, and the ground forces will not attack Baghdad." "If you continue to take American hostages, the war will be waged along the entire border between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, and the United States will certainly take advantage of this opportunity," Mhammad said. Overthrow Saddam's government and install a government that listens to the West, such as electing an obedient man from among the Kurds in northern Iraq, the United States will certainly be willing to do this, and they will support it at home, because you have taken their hostages and caused a large number of deaths among American civilians! ”

What are the benefits? It's the threat of war! Fighting only Kuwait is obviously different from fighting Iraq proper. Aziz's mind was racing as he heard Mhammad continue: "Moreover, I promise that as long as you release the Western hostages, if the war situation is unfavorable to Iraq, you can retreat from the defense line of our Pakistani army and return to Baghdad." ”

Mhammad's words. Let Aziz's mind boom, he knows. This promise of Mhammad is something that Iraq cannot refuse.

Iraq originally wanted to use the hostage issue to make a fuss and make the United States throw itself into a trap, but the reality was that the United States was not moved at all and was bent on helping Kuwait recover its country. And a large number of troops have been stationed in the Middle East.

If Iraq stops and withdraws from Kuwait, where will Saddam's old face go? As long as it eats something in its mouth, Iraq will never spit it out. However, there must be a way out for everything. If the situation is really unfavorable, it is very important for Iraq's troops to withdraw from Kuwait, as long as the army is retained, there will be sufficient capital.

"President Mhammad, why are you doing so much for the Western hostages?" Aziz asked, "Supposedly, our beliefs are the same." ”

"That's why!" Mhammad's language was cold: "Saddam Hussein went too far this time and invaded Kuwait, and as a result, the Americans had the opportunity to come to the Middle East to show off their force!" Please tell President Saddam Hussein that I personally admire the sacrifices made by Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war, and I do not want to see Iraq suffer huge losses under the blows of the multinational forces, and this is the only thing we can help you. ”

The agreement was not reached immediately, after all, Aziz could not call the shots, and he needed to go back to ask Saddam Hussein for instructions, and it would take at least three or five days for the other party to make up his mind and make a choice.

Although Pakistan closely follows the steps of the United States and helps the United States gain a foothold in the Middle East, Pakistan has no choice but to do so, after all, the United States has a good reason at this time, and it is all stupid and stupid Damu's performance is too clumsy.

If Silly Damu continues to resist stubbornly, the result will definitely be the same as the Gulf War in the future, and the multinational force will help Kuwait recover and drive out the Iraqi army within a month. However, due to the crossing of Mhammad, history will change again, and Iraq must withdraw from Kuwait, but Iraq's military strength cannot suffer too much loss!

After all, using Iraq to massively deplete the power of the United States is the main goal of Mahmad! All actions are carried out with this principle in mind!

A few days later, Iraq issued a statement that it had decided to release the hostages in order to show Iraq's sincerity, and for a moment the West breathed a sigh of relief.

This was achieved under the mediation of Pakistani President Hammad, and the entire Western world, especially those family members who had hostages in Saddam's hands, expressed their gratitude to President Mhammad for his outstanding contribution to peace! It is even rumored that the candidates for this year's Nobel Peace Prize have been finalized, including President Hammad, who is the most likely to win this year's award.

Since Iraq has even released the hostages, will it continue to heed the UN resolution and withdraw its troops from Kuwait?

Following the news of the release of the hostages, US Secretary of State Baker set foot on Iraqi soil for the first time since the outbreak of the Gulf crisis and went to Baghdad to negotiate a solution to the Kuwaiti issue.

Many observers began to be optimistic about Baker's trip to the Middle East, but unfortunately, when Baker left Iraq, no agreement was reached, and Iraq continued to emphasize that Kadima Province is an inalienable part of Iraqi territory, and this merger represents the will of all the people of Kadima Province, and Iraq will not compromise!

Time has entered 93 years, and the deadline of 15 February set by the United Nations for the withdrawal of troops is getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere in the Gulf is becoming more and more tense.

It is clear that Iraq will never compromise, and it will have to go through war before Iraq can realize its mistakes!

The US military deployment in the Gulf has already exceeded 500,000, and under the deception and co-optation of the United States, 34 countries have joined the joint forces, which has completely turned into a joint operation of multinational forces. The total number of troops is as high as 660,000!

At the same time, this war is a new war led by the United States, and the style of war is completely different from the past, and the United States will use vivid facts to tell Iraq that the so-called fourth military power is just a pseudo-power!

The deadline of February 15 has finally arrived, the whole world is watching the Gulf, and a new war is about to begin!

It was the largest overseas build-up of U.S. troops since World War II, with hundreds of thousands of troops, including 1,200 tanks, 2,000 armored vehicles, 1,300 fighter jets and 1,500 helicopters. More than 70 warships, including three aircraft carriers, were deployed in the waters around the bay, and the star battleships of the World War II era were also gathered here.

The huge group of attack planes made the United States feel that the air base provided by Pakistan was still too small, and the distance was a bit far, and it had to carry out an air refueling in the middle, so the United States selected another air base in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, and at the same time deployed most of the army here.

Pakistan's air base is mainly used to house high-value aircraft fleets, such as F-117 Nighthawks, E-3 AWACS aircraft, air tankers, etc., while a large number of F-15E Strike Hawks, F-16s, etc., are placed at Dhahran Air Base, which is more efficient.

On February 17, at six o'clock in the afternoon of Washington time, Fitzwater, the spokesman of the White House, stood in front of the microphone, facing countless reporters, with a serious face, and issued a statement: "On behalf of the US government, I announce that the battle to liberate Kuwait has begun, codenamed Operation Desert Storm!" We're going to drive Saddam Hussein back to his hometown! ”

Desert Storm has begun!

The Middle East is already dark, and night hangs over the whole of Iraq.

Flying from the Gwadar base in Pakistan and having another mid-air refueling, the F-117 fleet is finally approaching land.

"Note, make sure all navigation lights are off, and keep the radio silent." Major Williams, squadron leader of the 37th Wing 415 Squadron, shouted over the radio.

The F-117 is a stealth aircraft, with a variety of excellent designs that can keep it from being discovered by the other party, so the 37th Wing is also given the most difficult task, and air strikes on various targets in Baghdad are its top priority.

At this time, in addition to relying on the stealth performance of the fighters, their own tactical actions must also be in place, in case a navigation light outside is not turned off, it will become a target for their antiaircraft artillery in Iraq's airspace.

It was pitch black outside, and the headphones were rustling in the radio silence.

The rest of the attack fleet will follow up half an hour later, exactly after the F-117 bombed Baghdad. Their fighters will fire the first shot! (To be continued.) )
