Chapter 715: War Support
In terms of the periphery of the region, Saudi Arabia is in a better position than Pakistan, but because Iraq has ballistic missiles and has been repeatedly attacked by Iraqi ballistic missiles, the United States has suffered heavy losses to the US army, and the United States has to reconsider the issue of operations against Iraq.
Will follow-up troops, where is the safest place to deploy? Where Iraq's ballistic missiles can't hit, of course! If you look around, you'll see that Pakistan is a really good choice.
But across the Persian Gulf, at such a distance, how to project a huge force over? This is an even more serious problem, and when American satellites discovered that Pakistan had landed in Visakhapatnam and used that Caspian Sea monster, there was an instant solution.
That kind of weapon can not only be used on the surface of the sea, but also in the vast desert, you can get the same ground effect!
The biggest enemy of the United States now is Iraq, and the Iraqi government must be defeated! Saddam Hussein must be tried in public! Only in this way can the American people be satisfied with the Bush administration, otherwise, the elder Bush will wait to step down amid the scolding of the people!
Everything is aimed at bringing down Iraq! At this time, the United States has discovered Pakistan's advantage again, Scud missiles cannot hit, and those special ground-effect aircraft can transport people and equipment to Kuwait in two hours!
Although the United States almost turned its face with Pakistan again because of India's affairs, especially since the United States also used nuclear deterrence, but was forced back by Pakistan's test explosion of a nuclear bomb, the current United States still needs to rely on Pakistan.
Although China has realized the strong advantages of ground effect aircraft, it cannot be studied in a short period of time, so it is necessary to convince Pakistan. Give these equipment to the United States!
If Pakistan refuses... That means that Pakistan has become the enemy of the free world once and for all! On the plane, Secretary of State Baker frowned, although now the entire energy of the United States is dragged to Iraq, once the United States has its hands freed, it will completely solve the Pakistani problem! In the eyes of the Americans, there is no way to rub sand!
If Baker had known. Iraq had already used up all its missiles last time, and the new Scud missiles had more than doubled the difficulty of transporting them to Iraq to evade all kinds of US eyes, so for the time being, Iraq did not have new Scud missiles to use, and I don't know how to feel about it.
In fact, now American GIs can directly invade from Saudi Arabia. Attack Iraq! Surround Baghdad and pull Saddam out of the underground palace.
With this in mind, Baker took a special plane and arrived in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.
Over the years, Pakistan has risen rapidly, and all of this has a lot to do with the United States, and now. What does the United States need to compromise with Pakistan if it wants Pakistan to agree to America's terms?
Diplomats of Pakistan. came to the airport to greet Baker, because Baker was visiting secretly this time, so there was no welcome ceremony, and the special car took Baker directly and went straight to the presidential palace.
Baker, who was once full of spring and has always been proud of the great United States. When he met Mhammad, Baker did not directly protest to Pakistan about the detonation of nuclear bombs and destabilizing South Asia, but first praised Pakistan for the great friendship formed with the United States in the war in Afghanistan.
Listen to Baker's argument. Mhammad felt more confident and expressed his gratitude to Baker for his support of the United States.
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, the discussion finally got to the point.
"The hateful Iraq, the criminal Saddam, actually launched an attack on our homeland, this is the biggest blow to the free world, as a peace-loving United States, it cannot tolerate this kind of behavior, we have already mobilized for war in the country, just like during World War II, we have concentrated the strength of several armies, hoping to take Iraq in one fell swoop." Baker said.
In order to fight Iraq, the United States actually entered a state of war! And because of the attacks in the United States, the Americans are disgusted with Iraq, and the whole United States actually supports Bush Sr. and demands the complete overthrow of the Iraqi regime! It can be seen that the elder Bush, who has decades of political experience, is indeed an old fritter, and in this way he has resolved the situation that is unfavorable to him, and has achieved his goal.
It is not difficult to see the outcome of using the full strength of the United States to fight Iraq, but this process will definitely be difficult.
"President Mhammad, we would love to know your attitude." Baker said.
In the Western world, Saddam Hussein is the embodiment of sin and a satanic existence, but in the Middle East, Saddam has become a hero, like in Saudi Arabia, there are many radical young people who worship Saddam, and Saddam has avenged his Palestinian compatriots!
"Whenever a terrorist attack is carried out on a civilian facility, it is an act that is strongly condemned." Mhammad solemnly said: "We are firmly against this kind of behavior! ”
"Then your country, are you willing to support our US military attack on Iraq?" Baker continued.
Diplomatic condemnation and factual action are two different things, and when Baker said that he wanted military support, there was no sound at the scene.
The wall clock on the wall, creaking and rattling, so calm that you could hear everyone's heartbeat, Mhammad's eyes, looking out the window, did not say a word.
Baker's heart also began to sink, if Pakistan is unwilling, then what should he say? Pakistan is a typical country that will not be succumbed to external pressure, and the last time the United States was going to nuclear deterrence, what was the result? It was Pakistan that detonated its own nuclear bomb!
Although Pakistan is listed as a dangerous country in China, it is ironic that the United States still needs Pakistan now! Could the man in front of him, who has come all the way from the war in Afghanistan, not know the plans of the United States? What would he think?
After a long time, Mhammad sighed and said: "Mr. Baker, we have always been very grateful to your country for the help you gave us in the war in Afghanistan, but your country's subsequent behavior has deeply hurt our national feelings, and you have supported our enemy India and provoked us, and we have repeatedly tolerated it, and even in the last Gulf operation, we were still with our American friends to attack Iraq, and our troops were mobilized to the vicinity of Basra!" But what about the result? The result is that you threaten us with nuclear bombs! You have hurt our feelings again and again, and we are afraid that we are just a chess piece in your eyes, right? Put us on the chessboard when you need us, and abandon us at any time when you don't need us. ”
Baker knew that what Mhammad said was the truth, and the United States has never really regarded Pakistan as an ally, because Pakistan is very close to China, and because the rise of Pakistan will make the United States feel a real threat in South Asia.
But now, Baker knows that he needs to convince the unruly president in front of him that America's friendship with Pakistan will last forever.
"President Hammad, you know, we are the free world, and a lot of times, it's not our president who can decide, it's the Congress that wills, but right now, we have only one enemy, and that's Iraq! Just help us, that's our friend. Baker said, "Friends forever." ”
Mhammad shook his head: "Mr. Baker, even if you can represent President Bush, on behalf of the U.S. government, can you represent the next president?" ”
The United States is an electoral system, and there will be a president every four years, so that it can maintain its vigorous vitality and reflect fairness and democracy, but it will also bring some drawbacks, and when a new president comes to power, there will be new policy adjustments, and many policies will not be continued.
"We in Pakistan have been hurt many times, and we cannot continue to do our best for the United States to attack Iraq just by relying on your words, unless you can take concrete action." Mhammad said.
Practical action! Baker knew that it was time for the Pakistanis to make conditions, and he immediately asked, "What kind of practical actions do you need from us?" "This is a showdown between the two sides, to see if the conditions put forward by Pakistan can be accepted by the United States.
"We support your war in Iraq, and you support our war as well." Mhammad said.
Support Pakistan's war in India! That's the bottom line for Mahmad! Hearing this, Baker was stunned for a moment, how is this possible?
Although the United States is unable to support India now, it does not mean that it agrees with Pakistan's approach, when it first occupied Calcutta, Pakistan could still be said to be the land to pay off its debts, but with the occupation of Visakhapatnam, and gradually moving forward, Pakistan has also removed the fig leaf, this is the war against India!
At the beginning, the United States even used nuclear deterrence to protect India, and now, wants the United States to support Pakistan's war against India? Let India be dismembered by Pakistan? Baker suddenly felt that this was almost impossible.
As a seasoned politician, Baker could not refuse on the spot, and continued to ask Mhammad: "Then how do you plan to support our war in Iraq?" How can we support your war? ”
"We will provide all the paid support, as long as we in Pakistan can do it, we can provide it to you, and you, as long as you do not interfere in our military war in India, you can do that." Mhammad said that the conditions he gave were not at all like the kind of calculations he had in the past, and the conditions offered were very generous. (To be continued.) )
