Chapter 559: The Iraq War Breaks Out
At the exquisite welcome banquet, when Fan Yize was chatting happily with the big and small chiefs of the United Arab Emirates, the sound of hurried footsteps accompanied by the door of the VIP hall that was pushed open reached everyone's ears.
The chiefs frowned, displeased by this impolite behavior, and when they heard what came to them, they instantly forgot the little indecency.
"The coalition led by the United States and Britain has launched a formal military operation against Iraq."
As soon as the news came out, the atmosphere of the banquet changed significantly.
From the balcony of the VIP lounge, looking at the Gulf of Aden, it seems that you can see the five US supercarriers in the bay, as if you can see the busy carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier take off and leave the deck, loaded with ammunition and fly to Iraq.
It was as if I saw the warships in the fleet, and one after another Tomahawk missiles rose into the air and flew towards Iraq.
The small Persian Gulf seems to have been ignited by the flames of war in an instant, and the US Navy warships, which have gathered more than 200 warships, are constantly tilting missiles and firepower towards Iraq.
Even the battleship USS Missouri, which was supposed to be the Hawaiian Naval Museum, came to the Persian Gulf to exert its residual heat, and the battleship's main guns roared on the sea for the first time in half a century.
Far away in the United Arab Emirates, you can see the flickering light in the distance of the night, and the roar of naval guns seems to echo in your ears.
Fan Yize was the first to walk to the balcony, looking up at the faint light in the distance, in his skill, all the chiefs also stood on the balcony, each with different emotions on their faces.
The US-British coalition forces still did not hold back and launched an iron-blooded operation against Saddam, which will have an unavoidably tremendous impact on the situation in the Middle East.
This. Night, the entire upper echelons of the Middle East, is not destined to be calm.
This. At night, the whole of Iraq trembled violently under the blows of the coalition forces. Shake.
Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, was filled with the sound of howling artillery fire all night, the roar of fighter jets in the sky, and the massive anti-aircraft fire on the ground formed a barrage, covering every area of the city.
This is the only means that Iraq can use to resist, because before the attack, all Iraq's anti-aircraft missiles have been paralyzed by the US cyber combat forces.
A number of Iraqi missiles imported from France were quietly programmed by the United States with viruses, and at the beginning of the military operation, Iraq's territorial air defense network found a devastating blow.
The virus made Iraq's territorial air defense missile units blind and deaf, and the location of these radars and missiles was immediately reported to the US military command.
Together with a large number of fighters, radars and missile units of the Iraqi Air Force, Saddam Hussein's well-built and powerful national defense force, just like that. Turned into a target in the night.
This. During the night, coalition forces dropped more than 2,000 precision-guided bombs, more than 1,000 precision-to-ground strike missiles, and more than 1,000 prisoner-of-war missiles on major cities in Iraq.
Lasts one. During the night attack, thousands of combat drones were dispatched to carry out an all-round decapitation operation.
On this night, he stood at the White House and delivered a televised address to the nation, announcing the start of the war operation to overthrow Saddam's regime and emphasizing that the war would be resolved quickly.
This. At night, the unwilling Saddam Hussein stood in front of the camera, facing all the Iraqi people, calling on everyone to resist the US aggression and defeat the invasion of the US-British coalition.
The war has already begun, and there is no way back for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
This. Overnight, a large number of international coalitions from most countries around the world have made a great deal of criticism of the military action of the US-British coalition to invade Iraq.
In the eyes of the United States and Britain, this military action violated international law and the UN Charter.
While condemning it, Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Austria, and Switzerland in the Middle East announced a ban on fighter jets and missiles of the US-British coalition air force from attacking Iraq through their own countries.
At the same time, it also announced that it would refuse to provide all supply needs for the US-British coalition forces, and would not allow the fighters and ships of the British and American coalition forces to approach the territorial sea line, and even forbade them to enter the port.
At the beginning of the war, there was a lot of opposition, but this did not affect the determination and action of the United States and Britain to fight Iraq.
This. At night, Fan Yize updated his Twitter again, writing on the message:
"When the flames of war broke out, I was shocked, but I wasn't surprised at all.
As someone who was still involved in the war in Somalia, some people may say that I cannot refer to this war, but I still regret the invasion of Iraq by the Anglo-American coalition and pray for the Iraqi people.
The Somali War is to bring peace to Somalia in the midst of war, and the targets are those extremist forces and executioners who are undermining peace and destabilizing life.
With the hope of goodness, I participated in the war in Somalia, but I never flaunted that I had any nobility, and the constant in war was killing, killing, and killing and killing will never have anything to do with nobility.
In today's peaceful world, where most people live in a peaceful environment, I believe that there are many people who do not understand what I am saying, and there are many people who do not know what war is.
War is not a picture of a sailor returning home to kiss his fiancée in Life magazine, and war is not romantic at all.
War is the destruction of cities, the destruction of all the lives around you, war is inevitable death, war is not everyone's naïve understanding, war is never beautiful.
War will make a very ordinary young man feel step by step that killing people is really a very simple thing.
There may be naïve Americans who will say that we are on our way to save life from the depths of life. The Iraqi people are in the heat to save them.
I will not refute such an idea, because the facts will surpass everything else and prove whether this lovely perception is correct or not.
I believe that one day, you will not be surprised at all that the United States is not there to save Iraq, but only for Iraq's oil.
As the current US Secretary of Defense Mattis put it: "War is a very interesting thing, in fact it is simply too much fun." It's fun to kill people with guns. In Afghanistan, men there would beat women for not wearing a veil. In such a man, the gentlemanly demeanor of a man is almost gone. So, it's a lot of fun to shoot them. ’
The war has broken out, and no one can organize the evolution of this war, and I am the same, but I will pay attention to this war at the moment, and my eyes will be on the entire Iraqi battlefield, and no one can hide any facts from this war. ”
