Chapter 152: The War Breaks Out

"Hun eggs!"

President Roma, who was sitting in the president's office, forgot about his image and opened his mouth to scold. The Taliban is too dangerous, and throwing out such a thunderous news at this time will undoubtedly bring him endless trouble.

……

Countries are watching the war of words between the United States and the Taliban.

Although the information released by the Taliban cannot be fully trusted, one thing is certain, that is, the US military has shown its determination to exterminate the Taliban and will eliminate the Taliban at all costs.

So.

It is not impossible for the United States to start a war under the pretext of "prisoner of war negotiations." But the Taliban are not fools, they don't have enough interests, and they will never let go of the more than 2,000 American soldiers.

But.

The official forces, or the elites, can see the key to this, but the ordinary people can't see it, they only know that the American government is not caring for the lives of the prisoners and starting the war machine.

……

As the plenipotentiary of the "prisoner of war negotiations", Stephen screamed badly as soon as the Taliban poked out the news, and immediately jumped in front of the media to defend himself and the American government.

"The Taliban are doing this in Hun, they did propose a ransom for prisoners of war, for which they demanded $2.7 billion, which is completely blackmailing the US politician Tiffin to scream at the flashing lights of the media.

He knows it.

This matter must be sorted out, otherwise, it is not impossible to return to the United States and be drowned by the saliva of the American people, and even be secretly retaliated against by the people of Ji Lie.

……

……

"$2.7 billion!"

"Ah......h A million dollars in exchange for a captive, should you be a "xiǎo golden man"?

Then.

The media have gloated eyes, watching this good show, the "world police" was blackmailed by the Taliban! Some countries are also secretly surprised by the courage of the Taliban, who have such a lion's mouth and an appetite that is not ordinary.

What is the concept of $2.7 billion?

That's the equivalent of an entire year's military spending on some countries.

If the ransom money is used to buy weapons, it can purchase more than a dozen US F-22 "Raptor" fighters, thousands of advanced main battle tanks, and hundreds of short-range missiles......

……

Asking for such a huge sum of money, is it any wonder that the US politician is unwilling to be the culprit?

……

Inside a villa in Paris.

"Wow, xiǎo heaven, this Taliban is so greedy, they actually want so much ransom!" Bai Mei was surprised, as a Xiǎo military mi, this military hot spot, naturally she didn't want to miss it, so she skipped work in the afternoon, and honestly stayed at home, sitting in front of the TV and paying attention to the situation in Afghanistan.

"Hehe......"

Xiao Tian smiled and didn't say anything, but he was amazed at Omar's madness in his heart, "Alas, 2.7 billion US dollars, he really dares to speak!" Are Americans stupid? ”

"Oops, it's 3:17!" Glancing at the clock, Bai Mei exclaimed, her heart also beat faster, three minutes, only three minutes away, a new war is going to start again!

……

At this time.

Stephen and the Taliban's press spokesman invariably shut their mouths, and now it's time to do it with real guns, and public opinion propaganda will be put aside for the time being.

Before the war began, why did the two sides fight a war of words in front of the media? That is to guide public opinion in the direction of favoring one's own side, and it is also the commanding heights of one's own war morality.

It's a pity.

The U.S. military and the Taliban exposed each other's scars, slandered and attacked, so that the people of the world watched a good show at the same time, and at the same time, they also had an epiphany, it turns out that neither of these two parties is a good thing! Of course, the United States, as the only superpower, has many allies, especially the Western media, which is even more one-sided in favor of the United States. However, there are also a lot of fair media.

So.

In the pre-war public opinion offensive, no one benefited from it.

……

"Chief." Excited voices rang out.

"Well, Ashata, this negotiation with the US military is good!" Omar looked at the subordinate and praised him without hesitation, saying that for no other reason, the prisoner negotiations bought the Taliban a week.

"Hehe, those American devils are also trying to delay time...... "Ashata" smiled, "Chief, the intelligence officers at the front have sent news that the US military is moving very quickly this time." B-2 bombers, F-22 'Raptor' and other leading fighters, M1 main battle tanks, and infantry fighting vehicles are all on display. The electronic reconnaissance plane above us has never been broken......"

"Hmph, what are you afraid of? Which large-scale military operation of the US military was not this battle? Omar belittled him contemptuously, but he also felt a little worried in his heart, this time he really provoked the American army.

It's not.

After the Christmas Eve surprise attack, Omar retreated into a secret underground bunker in a mountain range, commanding the Taliban armed forces remotely, for fear of being "decapitated" by the US military. He had contacted his third son and wanted to borrow a few of Xiao Tian's "super bodyguards", but unfortunately, at this time, Xiao Tian's attitude towards him had a new change, and he didn't care so much about his life or death.

……

Swish.

After the last turn of the second hand, the time came to 3:20.

"Attack!"

In the command room, Admiral Kate gave an order, and the three field artillery brigades under his jurisdiction fired missiles one after another, all of which were aimed at some important targets in the city of Tallinnkot.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

One after another, cruise missiles, carrying a piercing roar, rushed out into the sky, like a furious fire dragon, rushing towards the enemy's position.

During the first round of strikes, the ground forces were all checking their equipment, and now there is nothing to do with them, and when the Taliban positions are almost destroyed, it is the time for the ground forces to appear.

The long-range attack of the U.S. military, the scene of the missile firing shè, was also broadcast on TV, watching, the fire-breathing cruise missiles wreaked havoc in Tallinnkot, Xiao Tian exclaimed, "Alas, this is the benefit of having money!" ”

The hand~ machine looks at the missile that is 100 times more expensive, and it is a "gold-swallowing beast" that burns money.

Xiao Tian dared to assert.

Even the US military, which has deep pockets, cannot issue a shè cruise missile without any scruples, and a missile is millions of dollars.

……

"General, the cruise missile attack has been completed, and the Taliban command has been destroyed, radios, radars and bridges, as well as a brigadier general with two bombs, reported in a loud voice.

"Well, order the rocket artillery battalion and howitzer battalion to carry out covered shelling!" Admiral Kate also knew that cruise missiles, which burn money, can only be used to hit important military targets or enemy headquarters, and some secondary targets, of course, are bombarded by artillery howitzers, rocket artillery, etc.

"Yes."

……

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

……

……

In an instant, the sound of artillery and explosions resounded in the sky, and shells and rockets poured towards Talinkot as if they didn't want money, and the sound was terrifying.

But.

Everyone understood that the effect of this attack was far less perfect than the first time, and the losses caused to the enemy army were quite xiǎo.

……

"Phew!"

A man with a face full of dirt spit out the dirt in his mouth, "Damn, the Yankees are so ruthless, this cannonball is falling on the top of the head as if it doesn't need money." ”

"Alright, Doy, get into an underground bunker, or you'll be hit by a cannonball, and you'll not even have a chance to complain. Hey...... Fortunately, the underground bunkers we dug were deep enough, otherwise, we would have hung up without seeing the American GIs. The companion smiled.

"Haha...... Haha......"

These giggling men are all Taliban armed forces, and after experiencing the initial tension, everyone slowly relaxed.

"Boom!"

"Damn, the grass is raised by these sons of bitch!" The man's ears were buzzing when a cannonball landed nearby, and the dirt was scattered on his head, and he couldn't help but curse fiercely.

……

"Ah......h

This round of artillery carpet attacks, of course, will not have no effect at all, some of the fortifications did not pass, or they could not dodge, and many unlucky ghosts died under artillery fire.

A certain city in northern Afghanistan.

"Third brother!"

"Linzi, is there any news?" Seeing the comer, the calm third son also stood up abruptly to meet him.

"No, the other party is too cunning, and he often changes locations, the brothers haven't found it for the time being, the key is the face of our Orientals, and it's not convenient to inquire about the news." The young man named Lin Zi had a bitter face.

"Don't be discouraged......

……

The carpet bombardment, which lasted for two days, poured tens of thousands of shells on Tallinnkot, turning Tallinnkot into a scorched earth, some houses were also miserable, and civilian casualties also appeared one after another.

The current government in Afghanistan is also difficult to make strange noises because of the control of the US military, so a strange phenomenon has appeared in Afghanistan. The U.S. military is indiscriminately attacking the Taliban and urban civilians regardless of the cost, while the Afghan government not only does not protest and makes necessary savings, but also sends some troops to assist the U.S. military in "killing" its own people.

It was cruel to the US military.

Some international peace organizations have repeatedly jumped out of accusations, and some countries have also cautiously expressed concern......

"General."

Outside, the sound of artillery was rumbling, and at this moment, a military meeting was held again in the temporary command headquarters of the US military in the Afghan theater to study a new military strike.

"General, this continuous fire attack, some important military targets in the city of Tallinnkot, have been destroyed, however, according to the intelligence taken by the reconnaissance aircraft, the Taliban forces are mostly hiding in underground bunkers, and ordinary artillery attacks are afraid that it will be difficult to hit them."

"Hmm."

Admiral Kate nodded, he was prepared for this, in fact, a similar situation was encountered in the war in Iraq, and in the face of the absolute fire suppression of the US army, it was a wise choice for the other side to hide in underground bunkers.

"Major General Will, after the shelling is suspended in the afternoon, send the sharpest bomber group to start focusing on military targets, destroying the Taliban's underground bunker fortifications, and reducing the obstacles to the offensive of the land forces in the later stage."

"Yes, General."

The B-2 strategic bomber and the B-52 bomber, a group of bombers, have been on standby for a long time and can strike at any time. Major General Will is well aware of this.

"Hehe, it's finally the turn of the Air Force to dispatch......"
