Chapter 785: A Year of Turmoil
The U.S. National Guard, or simply known as the National Guard, is an important reserve force of the U.S. military, that is, the reserve force of the U.S. military. The U.S. National Guard was created in 1636 as a militia established in Boston to defend the colony. This force is mainly commanded by the state governments, that is, it belongs to the local militia.
In peacetime, the Ministry of National Defense has only the right to direct the National Guard, but not the right to command, and the National Guard is commanded by the state governments, and its main task is to safeguard the security interests of the state and local governments, maintain social stability, and participate in emergency rescue and rescue in accordance with the orders of the Ministry of Defense and the governors of the states; Only in times of war, the federal government has the right to transfer National Guard units for active duty. This team is very similar to the armed police force in Huaxia.
At the same time, in peacetime, the US military is only used externally, not internally, and even if it is disaster relief, it is the National Guard. In later generations, when a natural disaster occurred in a state in the United States, the U.S. government wanted to mobilize the army for disaster relief, but the government of the state just did not agree, and as a result, the army could not be stationed in the state for disaster relief, and it took a long time before the state government agreed to the army to go to disaster relief.
At the same time, with the end of the Cold War, the US military began to be gradually reduced, and some army divisions were converted into Army National Guards. Such National Guard divisions are actually small regular units rather than militias, such as the 24th Division, which did not perform well on the Korean battlefield, and was downgraded to the National Guard. This is the same reason as Huaxia's change of the Army's Division B to the Armed Police Mobile Division.
In the previous terrorist attacks, at the call of the United States Government, the states filled up many National Guards and began to maintain internal security. As marches turn into riots everywhere, the burden on the National Guard becomes even heavier.
Not only that, but when the National Guard and the police began to suppress popular riots, the U.S. government, which symbolizes freedom and democracy, will definitely be attacked by some countries for human rights!
But there is no other way, it has to be done!
The camera was set up in front of Bush Sr. Looking at the camera lens, Bush Sr.'s face was serious: "Today, I received a very surprising news that our freedom-loving and democracy-loving people are holding demonstrations, and as the president of the United States, as a member of the American people, I can understand it. However, I can't understand it. It is also intolerable that the normal procession behavior of our citizens is used by a handful of saboteurs, who, during the march, smash shops, grab things like crazy, and even set fires! This is flouting the laws of the United States, this is a challenge to the U.S. government! ”
The crowd gathered in front of the White House. Looking at the picture of Bush Sr. appearing on the electronic screen, the scene finally quieted down.
"We will never forget. When terrorists drove civilian airliners into our White House, the Pentagon, and the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, innocent civilians were killed, and many children lost their fathers. The wife has lost her husband, and in the face of the terrorists, we have no choice but to start a war and eliminate all the terrorists! ”
"And now. We have won a phased victory in our war, we have captured President Saddam, and we have sent this dictatorial ruler with bloody hands behind his back to guillotine. However, there is another terrorist country that is eyeing us, and we have no choice but to knock them down! ”
"The war has also brought some problems to us at home, we are facing high fiscal deficits, we are facing inflation, we are facing all kinds of new tax policies. But please rest assured, these are all temporary, as long as we end the war in Iran and overthrow the Khomeini government, our economy will recover in a short time, and now it is up to us as a whole United States to work together to get through this together, and we should not be encouraged by a small group of people to do things that damage the national interest. ”
"Smack." In the distance, a stone was thrown over, and the electronic screen suddenly smoked.
"Don't listen to him, he's the most hypocritical president we've ever had in the United States! With war in our eyes and without the interests of our people, we are already facing high inflation and more taxes that should not have been in our United States. The Cold War is over, and we will live happier lives by reducing the army and investing excess money in the economy, instead of maintaining the army by levying more taxes on us as we are now! ”
"Yes, we don't want war, we want bread!"
The crowd shouted again.
The elder Bush did not know that although there were some riots during the march this time, the people were genuinely angry. The high inflation has made it impossible for the people to even eat, and more taxes have to be levied, which is simply making it impossible for the people to live, and the people can't wait to oust Bush Sr. from office and replace someone who understands the economy to become the president of the United States!
Suddenly, a stream of water fell from the sky, and the people watched several explosion-proof vehicles in the distance start to move, and the high-pressure water cannon began to shoot at the crowd, and the people who were hit by the water flow suddenly fell around.
It's just spring, and the weather is still very cold, and those who are hit by the water are suddenly cold.
The government actually used high-pressure water cannons to disperse them, and suddenly the crowd erupted in angry voices.
In front of the explosion-proof car, the policeman holding the explosion-proof shield is like a great enemy.
The United States, which symbolizes freedom and democracy, is now using violence against its own people! The crowd raged and threw rocks at the blast police, who also used rubber sticks against them, and the scene was completely out of control.
In the end, the explosion-proof police still did not block the collision of the American people, dozens of young men, rushed to the front of the explosion-proof police, they forced, pushed the explosion-proof car, the explosion-proof car suddenly shook, as they gradually forced, the explosion-proof car shook more and more, and finally, boom, turned over on the road!
"President, we shouldn't use violence against them, so that tomorrow in Congress, the Democrats will definitely attack us." Looking at the chaos outside at the White House, Secretary of State Baker couldn't help but say.
"We have to set an example for the states to put down this riot quickly, or it will shake the very foundations of our America." Bush Sr. said: "When they do it to the police, they are no longer legitimate citizens fighting for rights, but criminals!" ”
In the United States, the police have supreme power, and if the police want to search a citizen and the citizen refuses, the police will even shoot the other person. Now, if these people run into the police, they are already criminals. If it weren't for the fact that the situation was under control, George H.W. Bush would have wanted the police to use guns, even plastic bullets.
95 years, what a turbulent year! Mhammad shook his head as he lamented that both superpowers had been caught up in a wave of demonstrations at home that had turned into a conflict between the people and the government.
Alas, although the Soviet Union collapsed and the Cold War ended, the United States and Russia were not at peace. They have upset the best and left room for Pakistan to develop further.
In March of '95, Mhammad came to the Karachi shipyard, which was still in full swing, and on the outfitting dock on one side, the huge warship had completed all the construction and was ready to enter the sea trials!
As the symbol of the Pakistan Navy, the completion and commissioning of the Indomitable will mark the creation of the Pakistan Navy! After all, looking at the world, the only aircraft carrier capable of building an aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 50,000 tons is the former Soviet Union, apart from the United States. At this time, the Soviet Union had collapsed, and the Varyag was still waiting for its destination on the slipway of the Black Sea Shipyard, and only Pakistan already had the world's advanced technology to build this super warship with a standard displacement of 60,000 tons and a full load displacement of more than 70,000 tons.
Mhammad arrived suddenly and did not alarm anyone, and the head of the shipyard received the news only on the slipway and hurried to meet him.
Mhammad stood on the deck of the Indomitable with a large group of high-ranking officers, the sea breeze blowing, and the flag on the bridge fluttering in the wind.
"Mr. Makarov, what do you think of our aircraft carrier?" Mhammad asked an old man next to him.
Makarov! When he came to Pakistan, he was just going to inspect it, but when he saw the Pakistani aircraft carrier, Makarov couldn't walk, and finally, he joined the shipyard in Pakistan, became the deputy director here, and joined the final outfitting stage of the aircraft carrier.
"Compared with our Soviet aircraft carrier, this aircraft carrier is more focused on carrier-based aircraft, and it does not have much attack capability of its own." Makarov still couldn't change his words, as if he deliberately forgot the fact that the Soviet Union had collapsed.
Even the Varyag, which has a full deck, is equipped with more than 20 SS-N-19 missiles under the hull as a long-range attack force, while the current aircraft carriers of Pakistan are more inclined to American-style aircraft carriers, with no long-range anti-ship missiles, only carrier-based aircraft.
"The powerful strength of the aircraft carrier formation lies in the carrier-based aircraft, and only the carrier-based aircraft is the most powerful attack force." Mhammad said: "Mr. Makarov, you should also know that without air supremacy, there is no reason for sea supremacy, right? ”
"yes." Makarov sighed: "I have also been reflecting on the path that our Soviet Union has taken, and it seems that since the time of Khrushchev, we have been influenced by too many missile winning theories. (To be continued.) )
