Chapter 789: Under the Steep Turn

The United States represents power, it represents global hegemony, and diplomatically, the United States must be aggressive! Therefore, in the face of Nicholas's suggestion, the elder Bush absolutely could not accept it.

Economy? Without the status of the United States as a great power, without the world hegemony of the dollar, where would the economy come from?

Wanwan is an important part of the United States' Asian strategy, and it actually wants to make concessions on the Wanwan issue! How can this be! Bush Sr. would never agree with Nicholas.

Watching Nicholas slam the door out, Bush Sr. knew that he had to elect a new secretary of the Treasury.

"President Bush, our economic problems are also very important." Seeing Nicholas leave, Vice President Dan Quill said: "If we don't solve the economic problems, the people will kick us out of office, and it will be very difficult for us to win the next election."

Of course, Dan Quill is in a hurry, according to the US procedure, if the old Bush can't sit firmly and is ousted by the people, then Dan Quill will have to take over as president temporarily.

Moreover, Bush Sr. has been elected for two consecutive terms, and he will definitely not be able to run for the next president, and Dan Quill is likely to run on behalf of the party.

"Of course we have to solve the economic problem." Bush Sr. said: "We are about to take over Iran's oil-producing areas, and by occupying these places, we will be able to completely control the world's oil prices, and then our domestic economic problems will be solved." ”

Bush Sr. is really only proficient in warfare! Economic problems cannot be solved by oil resources alone. At most, a few new oil tycoons will be cultivated, and at most oil-related industries will be able to develop, but now, the economic problems facing the United States are as a whole, and the whole is declining. The whole country is facing inflation and rising unemployment, which cannot be solved by those oils alone.

In particular, in the face of China's efforts to sell off its foreign exchange reserves in the international market and support the euro, the United States has not yet come up with any policy to respond.

"Boom." Just then, the door was pushed open again. Bush Sr. looked up, thinking that Nicholas was back, but saw the deputy secretary of defense looking hurried.

"Oh no, the Iranians have launched a large-scale counteroffensive, and they are launching a fierce attack on us on the entire front with crowd tactics!"

Some time ago, Iran was still in a period of adjustment, and they faced the attack of the Americans for air-ground integration. For the time being, they were a little overwhelmed, their mobilization was slow, and the Americans' attacks were too sharp, so they were still losing ground one after another.

And now, the Iranians are finally catching their breath, and they have heralded the enlistment of large numbers of personnel, shouting slogans. Under the leadership of the mullahs, a fierce counterattack was launched against the Americans!

What about more fighters? When it gets closer. When the two sides were glued, the fighters did not dare to drop bombs in order to prevent accidental bombing. What about being well-equipped? The Iranians have a fearless spirit, and they can blow up the powerful M1 main battle tanks with explosives strapped to their bodies, even if they can't blow up the armor. As soon as the tracks are blown up, the tank will lie on its stomach.

Almost instantly, the war advantage that the United States had worked so hard to build up disappeared again, on all fronts. It's all precarious.

The Americans have not fought like this, and on Iranian soil, every civilian is a warrior!

Encouraged by the religious spirit, the Iranians completely broke out, anyway, Iranian lives are not worth much, even if it is to exchange ten Iranian lives for an American, the Americans absolutely cannot afford it, in a country where all the people are soldiers, the United States has no hope of victory.

In this way, when the war situation had improved, and suddenly and sharply, the Americans were surprised to find that the Iranians around them had changed in an instant, completely becoming a fighting race.

When a five-year-old child, strapped to explosives, burrowed through the sewer and detonated in a military base of the Americans, it was almost declared that the Americans could not win this war!

"Damn it!" The elder Bush looked at the report from the front, and sweat was already oozing from his head, and he knew that the United States was in big trouble.

Perhaps, I should listen to Nicholas and focus on the economy?

No! By doing so, we are creating a greater foundation for the United States, and the United States must persevere, and as long as it persists for a period of time, the situation will improve!

After receiving the news of the Iranian counteroffensive, the United States insisted on going its own way and continued to increase its troops in the Iranian region, in a vain attempt to overwhelm its opponents through military and technological superiority.

"Boom!" A grenade flew out of the tank, and the Iranians, who rushed up frantically in the distance, suddenly fell in large pieces. However, there were more Iranians in the back, still rushing forward desperately, and they were rushing towards the American positions here with rudimentary AKM rifles.

How many times has this been? The Americans guarding this position have already fought to the point of fear, and the Iranians on the opposite side, as if they are not afraid of death at all, know that such a swarm rushes up!

However, you can't go back, and behind you is Bandar Abbas! It is the logistics base of the entire U.S. military, and after leaving Gwadar Port in Pakistan, the U.S. military has used Bandar Abbas as a major logistics base and an important naval base.

And when the U.S. military continues to advance along the coast of the Persian Gulf to the northwest, the strength here is gradually decreasing, and now the Iranians are attacking here with heavy troops, which is obviously premeditated, they already know that the United States is now empty of troops here, so they want to take this place in one fell swoop!

By taking Bandar Abbas, the Iranians will be able to control the Strait of Hormuz, and all American ships coming and going will be exposed to blows near Bandar Abbas! With the Iranians in control, it can be said that the busy oil traffic in the Persian Gulf will be completely stopped.

The battle was fierce, and the disadvantage of the insufficient strength of the American troops gradually became apparent, and they could not defend the perimeter of Bandar Abbas!

"Quick, dodge!" Sticking his head out and hitting several charging Iranians with an M16 rifle, Captain Calvin shouted.

In the distance on the opposite side, rockets flew in!

The attack of the US Air Force has destroyed most of the Iranian factories, and they can no longer produce complex weapons, and these rockets on the opposite side, which are shoddy, are actually welded with cones and tails on steel pipes, and at the same time they are stuffed with propellant, many of which will not explode when hit, but the number is huge, and it will also cause casualties among the US military.

It should be the same thing that flew here this time, right?

Looking at those flying flames, Calvin's mouth opened wide, damn it, it was standard equipment, 107 rockets!

"Boom, boom!" The 107 rockets flew in, blowing up large craters in the positions on this side, and almost in the midst of the explosion, those fanatical Iranians rushed up again.

"Quick, fire support!" Calvin shouted, but no gunshots were heard.

Calvin looked around him, and the soldiers were scrambling to pull out their gas masks from their equipment.

Flying gas bombs? Calvin looked at an unexploded rocket in the distance, and a liquid was coming out of it.

Can't wait! He also quickly took out his gas mask.

"Boom!" There was another sound of the earth shaking, and Calvin looked up, the M1 tank they relied on the most, the armor had been torn from the front, and a huge flame was coming out.

Damn it!

These Iranians, I don't know where they got the anti-tank missiles, the power is quite amazing, and at close range, they can actually tear the main armor of the M1!

"Call for air support, quick, we can't stand it!" Calvin shouted.

Wearing a gas mask, his voice was out of tune, Calvin knew that the M1 tank that was used as a point of fire was destroyed, and their position really couldn't stop the attack.

"Air support will arrive in twenty minutes." Said the radio soldier.

Twenty minutes? Damn, we couldn't support that time! Looking at the Iranians scattered all over the mountain, Calvin decided to give the order to retreat, and it was time to retreat into the city of Bandar Abbas and fight in the streets.

Although the United States has a strong air power, it is now fighting wars everywhere, and there are nearly a thousand battlefields in the entire Iran! Air support was called everywhere, and the US Air Force and Navy were unable to provide timely support despite their best efforts, which made the US Army, which was accustomed to air-ground integrated operations, quite uncomfortable.

In April 95, when the situation in Iran was very good, the Iranians suddenly launched a fierce counteroffensive, the Iranians were not afraid of sacrifice, almost did not treat their lives as if they were lives, just like an ant, under this offensive that was not afraid of death, the Americans actually began to retreat, and the long Persian Gulf front, the American army was divided into many sections, and the battle was quite fierce.

And the fiercest fighting is undoubtedly Bandar Abbas, which is related to the direction of the entire Iranian war, and it is here that Iran dispatched 600,000 troops, including the Revolutionary Guards, almost 1 percent of the Iranian population, to launch a crowd tactic to conquer this port occupied by only 50,000 American troops.

Since fighting was taking place everywhere in Iran, the United States, knowing the importance of the place, did not have time to mobilize its troops, and the Iranian army, which had already been tactically navigated by the sea, broke through the defensive line and entered the city of Bandar Abbas.

Here, the United States is going to fight a street battle with Iran, and whether it is well-trained or fledgling, street fighting is a way of fighting with heavy casualties, the Iranians once fought with Iraq in Abadan, as a result of which both sides killed and wounded more than 100,000 people, Abadan is also called the city of blood.
