Chapter 569: Iran's Eastern No-Fly Zone
readx;
The Soviet Union's large-scale military mobilization did not hide from the US satellites, which originally acted when the US satellites were not in the skies, but, very unexpectedly, in order to strengthen the monitoring of the Middle East, the United States modified the orbits of several satellites, and in this way, the Soviet armored divisions were exposed. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧
Although exposed, the Soviets were not afraid, because, they had already made up their minds, and besides, Iraq simply did not have the ability to resist!
The Iranian National Liberation Army of the Tehran regime in Iran was directly ignored by the Soviet Union, and the Iraqi troops were not capable of attacking the east at all, and they had not even taken the territory of the West! Moreover, the USSR is helping Iraq!
However, Iraq obviously doesn't think so, and if the red empire in the north really raises the butcher's knife in Chapter 569 of the no-fly zone over eastern Iran, how should they respond?
In the Palace of the Republic in Baghdad, these high-ranking figures who decided the fate of Iraq were all pondering. ≦≧ "Perhaps, we should use the power of the United States to fight against the Soviet Union, and only the United States can resist the Soviet Union." Ali Hassan Majid, who was also a loyal subordinate of Saddam Hussein, is now fully supporting Qusay. In later life, for using chemical weapons against the Kurds, he received the title of chemical Ali.
"No, the Americans, like the Soviets, covet our Middle Eastern lands. They must not be allowed to intervene. Taha immediately rejected the proposal.
"I know, but now, without the help of the United States, we simply cannot achieve the goal of stopping the Soviet invasion, we rely on our own strength, it is difficult to accomplish, this is our last resort."
Listening to the fact that these important people under his subordinates actually had a disagreement on this kind of issue, Kusay's brow furrowed, with the help of the Americans. ≦≧That's drinking to quench your thirst, the Soviet Union is very powerful, but this is only on the surface, it's just that the purse of the Soviet Union is deflated. Without money, what are they going to fight with! More importantly, Kusay knows. In fact, this crisis is not a crisis at all, because, in a few days, the Soviet top will fall into a temporary panic! Because, it is already the middle of January, and the top leader of the USSR, Andropov, has deteriorated in health, and in a month at most, he will die of kidney disease, and his successor, Konstantin Ustinovich Chernenko, is already an old man in his last year, and his health is even worse, and after thirteen months in office, he died again, and during this time, the Soviet top was a little chaotic, and as soon as Chernenko came to power, they knew that this old man was only temporary, and he was expected to reach the peak of power, began to fight behind the scenes, preparing to become the next general secretary of the Soviet Union, and in the end, it was Gorbachev who won.
In this case, the USSR would still have the energy to carry out a big aggression? They simply won't take the risk of taking another military gamble, what they need is to maintain the status quo. ≦≧
As long as you survive these few days, you won't be afraid of anything. The advantage that Qusai has over everyone else is that he knows the pulse of the world's development, and although the Middle East is a mess here, the rest of the world is still developing normally. The point is that in these few days, Iraq must show a strong enough will that the Soviet Union needs to think about the consequences before starting a war, and as long as they delay them for a few days, they will just want to move, and I am afraid they will not have a chance.
Qusay asked these high-level personnel to discuss and come up with a suitable plan, but now, on whether he needs the help of the United States, Qusay feels that it is necessary to unify his thinking with these high-ranking personnel.
"Taha is absolutely right." "The United States and the Soviet Union are both superpowers, and the great powers naturally have the essence of great powers, that is, they are constantly expanding abroad, whether geographically, politically or economically," Qusay said. As long as we turn to the United States for help, then the United States will certainly make a series of demands on us: Guys, what is our foreign policy in Iraq? ”
"We are neither pro-American nor pro-Soviet, we want to develop independently and eventually build a strong Middle Eastern country. ≦≧," Adnan said.
Not pro-American, not pro-Soviet, not to say not to have dealings with these countries, but not to completely fall to them, for example, to allow them to station troops on their own territory! Even if it is an infantry squad, it is also political involuntary!
"The Soviet Union and the United States, we can use them, in the end it is for the purpose of developing ourselves, but in the most sensitive matter such as the military, we absolutely do not allow them to interfere, the Soviet Union does not work, the United States does not work, we can completely solve our own problems!" Qusay said.
Qusay made it very clear that no one is allowed to meddle in the affairs of the Middle East, whether it is the Soviet Union or the United States, and here, only Iraq has the right to speak!
Moreover, all the people were happy in their hearts, and they who were familiar with the style of His Excellency Qusay, and knew that His Excellency Qusay had already made up his mind when he said this. ≦≧
"Your Excellency Qusay, then how do we deal with the question of a possible imminent invasion of eastern Iran by the Soviets?" Adnan asked.
"Our ground forces can't move." "The Soviet heavy forces are not an order of magnitude with ours, all our armored divisions are blocked there, and there is not enough for the Soviets to consume, besides, from here to eastern Iran, we have not yet been liberated, we will be harassed along the way by troops who are still loyal to the old Iranian regime, and our supplies are even more problematic, not to mention, our main offensive direction is northwestern Iran." ”
The ground forces can't move, so how can they stop the Soviets? Everyone knows that when it comes to military affairs, although His Excellency Qusay is the youngest, his methods are the most sophisticated, and the methods that His Excellency Qusay can come up with must be the most suitable. "Tehran's air base, we're almost repaired, right?" Qusay asked.
"Yes, the runway has been completely cleared, the hangar will be rebuilt with less serious damage, and the tower has been rebuilt, but most of the fighters left by Iran are unusable." Abid said.
"Transfer the Mirage 4000 fleet and the Hunter AWACS aircraft of our Northern Military District to Tehran Air Base, where they will carry out a one-month patrol mission in the no-fly zone." Qusay said.
No-fly zone? Patrol? All the people didn't understand.
"Yes, we are now, the armored division can't get by, but in the sky, our fighters can already protect the entire Iranian sky, our Mirage 4000 heavy air superiority fighter needs to protect the sky in eastern Iran, in the month-long no-fly zone patrol mission, any aircraft flying in this airspace is illegal, will be ruthlessly shot down by us." Qusay said.
In later generations, Qusay was extremely indignant at the Western countries' artificial and forcible establishment of a no-fly zone over northern Iraq, which is the bullying of small countries by big countries! It was the complete loss of control of Iraq in the north that allowed the Kurds to grow stronger and, eventually, with the support of the United States, to take power in Iraq.
Now, Qusay naturally concocted the same method, in the northeast of Iran, although their ground forces cannot reach, but there is no limit in the air, the use of long-range Mirage 4000 fighters, under the command of the hunting early warning aircraft, completely blockade the northeast of Iran, showing that the Tehran government has the ability to control this area!
The so-called no-fly zone, which prohibits aircraft other than one's own aircraft from flying, and if it is discovered, it is a barbaric but effective way to show that one's own side can control the area.
"What if a Soviet plane flies over?" Abid asked.
"I'm talking about any plane." "We don't know what country it's from," Qusay said. ”
After thinking for a moment, Qusay then asked: "In Mashhad, north of Khorasan, it seems that there is an armored company of the second line of the old Iranian government?" ”
"Yes." Adnan said, "However, the second-line armored company is still equipped with old M48A5 tanks, and it is still unknown how many of them will be in action." ”
"That's enough, mobilize two more squadrons of F-20 fighters into Tehran Air Base, carry Maverick air-to-surface missiles, and quickly attack this second-line armored company of the Iranians during the no-fly zone flight mission on the first day, and completely blow them to ashes! At the same time, the results of the strike were publicized to the outside world in a high-profile manner. Qusay said.
