Chapter 675: The Middle East needs peace
readx;
President Reagan was woken up from his sleep, which was a very disappointing thing, but before he could get angry, he had heard what had just happened, and immediately fell asleep, and after a few seconds, he made a decision, verbally promised to immediately inform the news to the authorities, and then dressed and prepared to get up to go to the White House.

The message was sent by the Secretary of Defense, and at the same time the CIA director, vice president, secretary of state and others were informed, who, under the cover of night in Washington, hurried to the White House for an emergency meeting.
Bush's buttons had not yet been buttoned, and George's shirt collar had a hint of red, which seemed to be a red lip print, and neither of them cared about what they were wearing each other, and they all asked in unison: "Iraq, is there really a war?" ”
The Middle East, which has huge interests at stake in the United States, is now the most important ally of the United States in the Middle East, in order to sè column, in incurring another blow to the surrounding Arab countries!
"This is our latest satellite shot." Weinberg did not speak, but turned on the projector.
The room was darkened, and the images were clearly displayed on the screen. ≦≧
In several places, flames and smoke burn!
"What are those places?" President Reagan asked.
"Take the column to the airbase." Casey could see at a glance that he often looked at these maps himself.
Take Sè Row Air Force Base! They know what these bases mean, and that's the focus of the defense forces, the Eagle of David! Now there is a burning there, which shows that there is a blow and that the Air Force is strong. How could they be bombed there? Didn't protect your airspace well?
"It's a clearer picture from a satellite." Weinberg switched a photo, this time, to a rectangular circle with several buildings around it. They knew that the side of the wider rectangle was the main runway of the airport, but now, on the runway. On all sides, there was smoke and bullet casings.
"Fifteen minutes ago, Iraq fired more than 100 ballistic missiles into the territory of Israel and attacked the five main air bases in Israel, and almost 90 percent of the ballistic missiles hit their targets. ≦≧ our personnel, preliminary statistics have been made, this missile attack destroyed 80 percent of the air force. ”
More than 100 ballistic missiles, 80 percent of the air force. Everyone was shocked by this statement.
They all know what this means, in order to sè column air force, I'm afraid there is only a shell left.
"We also observed that in the border area of Jordan with the Isè column. The armies of the Arab countries, undergoing an unusual transfer, quite possibly. After determining that the Israeli air force had lost its combat effectiveness, they would enter the Israeli army in a big way, and the surrounding Arab countries were always thinking about retaking their land. Weinberg continued.
The situation is already clear, Iraq unexpectedly used ballistic missiles, ballistic missiles in large quantities. In one fell swoop destroyed the combat capability of the Air Force of the sè column, after that. What kind of actions will they have?
"We need to urgently send a batch of fighters to the Israeli column, and we need to transport all the F-15 and F-16 fighters that we have assembled in China to the Israeli column, even if it is from our active troops, otherwise, the Israeli column will definitely not be able to withstand the blows of the surrounding countries. ≦≧," George said.
No matter what position it takes, the United States must strongly support and maintain its position in the Middle East, no matter how pro-American Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are, they will always be Arabs and a hemian country, and their ideology is fundamentally different from that of the United States.
The Middle East region is becoming more and more lively, I did not expect that a nuclear issue will lead to such a series of subsequent problems, and the behavior of the United States this time can be regarded as setting itself on fire, but it is not, after all, it did not burn to the United States itself.
Since the air force has been lost, the United States needs to send a batch of fighters to the air force to make up for their losses and let them deal with the situation effectively.
Weinberg shook his head: "Mr. President, even if we transport the fighter plane over immediately, even if it is flying across the ocean, it will take more than ten hours, in these ten hours, what changes will be made in the battle situation ahead, none of us can predict, and even if we give the fighter plane, then, will there be enough pilots in the column?" Now is not the time in World War II, rookie pilots who have worked dozens of hours can also fly planes into the air to fight, and without several years of training, they will not be able to control our fighters. ≦≧”
"Isn't there a pilot in the sè column?" As soon as Bush asked half a sentence, a chill suddenly flashed in his heart, the Iraqis, couldn't they have killed the plane with the pilot? That's a lot of damage.
Airplanes can be made from the production line, but a system-trained pilot is definitely worth more than an airplane, and the pride of the sky is laid out with stacks of dollars.
If Iraq is also killed along with the pilots of the Column, then the Air Force of the Column, at least for a few years, will have a fault, and the Air Force of the Column will be the weakest until new skilled pilots are trained.
"Our satellite photos show that Iraq used some thermobaric warheads in this attack, when the fighters of the air force were preparing to take off, and their pilots were making final preparations, although we did not receive accurate information, but with the help of image data, we can infer that the air base in the air force of the column was not only suffering heavy losses in hardware, but also suffered heavy casualties in terms of personnel. I'm afraid that with the explosion of those warheads, they will also be lost. ≦≧”
Thermobaric bombs? Some of them, all of them are civilians, and they don't know what this kind of thing is.
"The thermobaric bomb is the use of air 60xs to produce a thermobaric effect, after the explosion, relying on a large amount of incendiary agent combined with air to produce a secondary detonation to kill the target, and due to the consumption of a large amount of oxygen generally within 50~200 meters around the explosion point, it will form an instantaneous hypoxic state, which can lead to suffocation of personnel. High-powered cloudburst bombs can be used as an alternative to miniature nuclear bombs, and they don't have radiation. Weinberg explained.
In this way, everyone understands that if the personnel in the base are unlucky, I am afraid that all of them will have to see God.
There are no planes, the United States can provide them, but even the pilots are gone, so it is not enough for the Americans to drive their own planes to fight the Arabs, right?
The Arabs, in fact, the leading Iraq, the guy called Qusay, is really vicious, and this time it is equivalent to pinching all the eggs of the Jews.
"Now it seems that we must stop this war." President Reagan said: "The Middle East needs peace now, and we want to be messengers of peace and get the two sides to stop fighting." ”
Messenger of Peace? No one knows what President Reagan is talking about.
Bush knows very well that there can be no peace in the Middle East at all, and that the present peace is only a respite for Israel.
At the time of the first Middle East war, the surrounding Arab countries flocked to the country, and the weak and small countries were about to die, at this time, the United States proposed a ceasefire between the two sides at the United Nations, and received the support of other countries.
Now, Reagan is playing with the same idea.
"We need time now, so let's help them get the time they need." President Reagan said: "Immediately inform our ambassadors to the Arab countries and ask them to protest against this action against Israel, especially the ambassador to Iraq, to make our position clear, and hope that Iraq will accept it as soon as it is good, and they have bombed Baghdad with Israel, and they have also bombed the air base in Israel, so that the two sides are tied, and Iraq should also stop, otherwise, we in the United States will protect the safety of ordinary citizens in Israel to the greatest extent possible, so that our aircraft carriers, In both directions of the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean, it is moving closer to the Middle East, and at the same time, a motion is submitted to the UN Security Council recommending that the Council order the Arab countries and the Israeli countries not to expand the scale of the war. ”
It takes time to take the sè column, so let's the United States, give the sè column this time! Reagan picked up his cigar, took a puff, stared at the ceiling above his head, and began to lose his mind.
Every time something happens to the United States, it is the United States that wipes their buttocks, which is really terrible, but in the Middle East, if the United States is pulled out, then the United States will not be able to gain a foothold in the Middle East, and the entire Middle East will be reunited next to Iraq, and it will be very difficult for the United States to intervene again.
But what attitude would the USSR have? Could it not be seen that Iraq did not obey the orders of the United States, let alone obediently obey the arrangements of the Soviets? If the Soviet Union really looks at the short-sighted, then Iraq may seize this opportunity and thus rise, with oil in the ground, powerful military capabilities, and friendly Arab countries around it, and in the future, Iraq may develop into an existence that will make the United States scratch its head.
In every sense of the word, the United States needed to help unconditionally, but Reagan did not expect that the development of events, far beyond the expectations of the United States, Iraq, was tough.
From now on, time is measured in seconds, and battles in the sky, even more so. (The domain name has been changed)
