Chapter 445: The United States wants to intervene

readx;

Original "Guys, the situation is the same as we speculated, the Iranians really can't stand it anymore and I want to start ---" Reagan smoked a cigar in his mouth and exhaled a smoke ring, an action he learned when he was an actor, and his face showed joy. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧

Reagan's think tanks also smiled, and finally looked forward to this day!

"Our aircraft carrier battle group, already on standby in the Arabian Sea, is ready to strike at Iran at any time!" This was stated by Defense Secretary Weinberg.

This time, the Iranians are killing themselves.

The United States has endured Iran for a long time, just after the outbreak of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Iran turned against the United States and detained the personnel of the Iranian embassy, which led to Carter's disgraceful resignation, and then, Iran is against the United States everywhere, just some time ago, the Iranians were in the background to direct the black hand to an innocent passenger plane, this incident, almost made the United States lose its prestige.

And now, the Iranians are actually playing tricks again, actually trying to blockade the Persian Gulf, they think, there is their backyard?

"Since the current crude oil in the Persian Gulf cannot be shipped, international oil prices are currently rising. ≦≧" James said: "In order to calm oil prices, we have used the Strategic Crude Oil Reserve. ”

The sharp rise in oil prices this time is all a good thing done by the Iranians, but fortunately, the United States is prepared and will not be at a loss as before.

"Are we really going to send troops for that reason?" Secretary of State George looked at these stupid people and couldn't help but ask.

"We don't have a reason for that." CIA Director Casey said: "As long as the Iranians dare to attack our cargo ships, we have enough reasons." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, our strategic focus. Always in Europe, it's the USSR! Although the Iranians are our enemies. However, we have never bargained from the Iranians, because the Iranians always play yin with us! George said.

"Now, if we really go on a massive air strike on Iran because one of our cargo ships was killed by the Iranians, God knows. What happens next! What will we do if the Iranians hijack one of our passenger planes or our freighters? We don't have to fight the Iranians here, that's not our strategy. ≦≧," George continued.

Now, the United States and the Soviet Union are in the Cold War, the big enemy of the United States. It will always be the USSR. For the sake of this Iran, it is not worth such effort.

Reagan looked at his subordinate and did not speak, his opinion has always been the basic national policy of the United States, against the Soviet Union! As a result, the United States has relaxed its vigilance against other regions. For example, the Middle East!

"We in the United States are powerful, and we must let anyone in the world know that there is no good end to confronting us in the United States, and those who dare to attack us Americans will have to pay a price!" "We need to be prepared now if our ships are really attacked," Bush said. Well, we must strike a heavy blow. Come in response to Khomeini's conspiracy! ”

Even Vice President Bush fully supports air strikes against Iran. Iran is too arrogant, this time it is a public outrage, the United States took the lead in beating him, no one will disagree, not even the Soviet Union, can say nothing.

"Yes, we can even join several other countries with the authorization of the United Nations to fight against this kind of behavior by Iran. ≦≧”

Hearing the discussion of his subordinates, Reagan finally said: "Everyone, our plan to attack Iran this time is not impulsive, we have our own strategic interests. While our focus is on Europe, the Middle East is also a matter of our very important oil security, and we can't afford to let that go on like that. ”

What's in the Middle East? Petroleum! Reagan's vision was more long-term and bold than theirs, and he had already thought of a solution: control the oil in the Middle East!

Every time OPEC cuts production and raises prices, it makes the United States extremely depressed, and this situation has been going on, and for the United States, it is like eating a fish bone and getting stuck in its mouth and unable to get out.

The Middle East, plus the real interests of the United States!

So, with this golden opportunity, the Iranians brought about their own destruction, then, of course, the United States has to show its strong existence!

After the baptism of the Iran-Iraq war, most of the military strength of the Iranians was killed by the Iraqis in the west, and the east was very empty, while the US Navy, with its strong military strength and the help of its own cargo ships to protect itself morally, could completely take the island of Qeshm at the entrance to the Persian Gulf, so that the United States would have the advantage!

The current military strength of the United States in the Middle East is very weak, and under the pretext of protecting this important shipping route, the United States can occupy it now and protect the ships coming and going, and after a long time, it will naturally become the territory of the United States, and the United States will plant a nail in the Gulf!

It can be said that Reagan's vision was very unique. ≦≧

"We have to be there, to show our presence, and whenever possible, we have to be ready to be permanently stationed in the Strait of Hormuz." Reagan said.

Although the Soviet Union has not yet collapsed, the United States, a behemoth, has set its sights on the Middle East, where there are American interests!

What they lack is just a reason, a reason for them to send troops!

In later generations, the United States did send troops, but the United States only sent warships to protect civilian ships, and the United States entered the Gulf, which attracted strong dissatisfaction from all Middle Easterners, including Saddam, Saddam Hussein sent fighters to attack the US Navy several times, especially at 21:12 on the night of May 17, 1987, a Mirage F1 fighter of the Iraqi Air Force fired two Exocets, hitting the US "Stark" missile frigate, which was heavily damaged and 37 people died. ≦≧Of course, Saddam Hussein has always insisted that it was a mistake.

And now, because Khomeini has done several completely anti-American things, he has played the United States several times and made them firm in their beliefs, and the United States' counterattack is definitely not just as simple as escorting, the United States wants to show its presence in the Middle East, and moreover, it wants to gradually control here!

Qusay was working it, and he knew he couldn't let the ship attack intensify.

In later generations, the United States completely controlled the entire Middle East, you know, the United States has never given up conquering here, and they have always had a great deal of influence here.

Fortunately, Iran attacked a Kuwaiti oil tanker, and if it had attacked an American merchant ship, I'm afraid the United States would have done it a long time ago, and the United States wouldn't have set fire to Iran's back ass! So, Qusay knew that countermeasures had to be taken to prevent the Iranians from doing stupid things.

The Americans absolutely cannot afford to provoke Iraq, even the Soviet Union, I am afraid that it will definitely not have the financial resources to really fight the Americans.

Qusay is very afraid that this ship attack will lead to the internationalization of the Gulf issue, and he is afraid that foreign forces, especially the United States, will interfere, because he is not ready enough, and the Americans will close the door to the Gulf, then he will not be able to develop.

In later generations, other countries in the Gulf region, especially Kuwait, could not bear the Iranian attack and were unable to protect themselves, so they had no choice but to ask the United States to send troops to protect Kuwait's oil tankers.

The power of the Americans must not be allowed to intervene!

Therefore, after thinking of a solution, Qusay immediately notified Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and other countries, hoping to jointly protect the fleet from Iranian attacks.

As for the later generations, Qusay showed little interest in attacking each other's ships, first, because it was not morally advantageous, and attacking civilian ships was a shameful act. Second, even if Iraq wants to attack, it is not capable and unnecessary, because, as the military occupation of Khuzestan Province continues, this oil-producing area of Iran has been held by him, and the Iranians have no oil, so there will naturally be fewer oil tankers, and the port of Khomeini is also Iraqi, and other Iranian ports in the distance are just transporting ordinary goods, and there is no need to attack.

So, now it's a one-sided show by Iran.

The Saudi side replied that because Iraq's ships are too small, it hopes that they can be converted on Saudi warships, and two frigates can be converted into one by Iraq.

After receiving the news, Qusay was first pleasantly surprised, and then he figured out what was going on, they wanted to break off relations with themselves, so they were afraid that the ships of the Iraqi Navy would appear in their escort formation.

To put it bluntly, Iran's crazy retaliation this time is also related to the support of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and other countries, and they are implicated by Iraq. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, they also have a hard time, after all, it is now Iran that is smashing people's jobs.

Still, Qusay was very happy to agree to the Saudi proposal. Because, their own small boats are indeed not a suitable choice, with frigates, it will be safer, and their own electrical equipment needs to be maintained by special people, even if they wear the clothing of the Saudi Navy, it is their own people.

The Iraqi navy has too short legs, and they have to go out and see it.

Since the electrical jamming equipment manufactured by itself is completely incompatible with the electrical equipment of the Medina-class, and the Medina-class also has Sidewinder ship-to-air missiles, the jamming equipment is installed on the Badr-class frigates.

In addition to anti-ship missiles, the Badr frigate is a naval gun, and even if the ship goes to escort, it will not have any real interception effect, so it is a good choice to install jamming equipment on this ship.

The electrical jamming equipment was quietly transported to the Saudi naval base, where it was simply modified: a helicopter hangar was vacated to house the equipment. (To be continued.) To be continued
