Chapter 534: Defeat, Harvest
"Now you're telling me to withdraw?" Norman's first instinct when he heard the news was ridiculous. Sean, who was sitting on the side, shook his head and sighed, attracting Norman to look at him.
"Alas, I still like the unruly appearance of the stupid big wood."
"Poof!" Norman burst out laughing, not at all the commander-in-chief of the Gulf War. Waiting until Norman had had enough of laughing before the secretary continued to ask, "And how do we reply?"
Norman still had a smile on his face, and was about to say something, when he turned his head to look at Sean again, "How do you think it's better to reply, your mouth is more damaged."
"What do you mean by my mouth!" Sean's eyes widened, "He's slandering, he's slandering me." The room was filled with cheerful air.
Operation Desert Saber went very smoothly, after losing air power, the YLK people were defeated and had no power to fight back, and everyone was in a good mood and relaxed at this time.
Oh, by the way, Sean is not an outsider either, he is serious about coming to this military meeting, in the name of the Umbrella Company.
Victory is just around the corner, and it is impossible for the US military to continue to keep so many troops in the territory of YLK, and the US military's expenses are too high on the one hand, so many military contractors who cooperate with the foot-covering building are also looking for jobs, so naturally this situation is happening in front of us.
After this negotiation, the umbrella side will continue to recruit people to expand the scale, and he will eat the lion's share of YLK's military outsourcing tasks.
Enough laughter, since Norman asked him to say, then Sean was not polite, coughed lightly, changed to a serious expression, and said seriously: "Now it is not stupid Damu to say that the matter can be ended by withdrawing from Kuwait, the terrible thing has happened and is irreparable."
"If, after a war of aggression, all it takes is a light withdrawal to bring things to a halt, then where is fairness and what is the law?"
"This is a very bad beginning, and this will only make future generations unscrupulous."
"YLK must be held accountable for this aggression, for the Kuwaitis who died, for the innocent Israelis who lost their lives, for the coalition soldiers who died!"
"A butcher, an executioner, a criminal against humanity, he should not be the president of YLK, but a prison and a court-martial."
"People all over the world need justice!"
Bang Bang Bang ..... Norman took the lead in applauding, and said that Sean's mouth was very damaged, "Just reply, this is the attitude of the coalition." The secretary nodded and withdrew.
.....
On the 19th, at 11 a.m., the headquarters of the coalition forces issued a new statement to the outside world.
Theoretically, the U.S. government did not need to approve the operation, the operation was approved by the United Nations, and Norman was the commander of the coalition forces, and he had the right to make decisions about the course of the war that followed.
No one can deny this.
Afterwards, the Soviet representatives approached Norman, who wanted to stand up for the stupid big wood, but Norman was scolded by Norman's words, "If the Soviets are willing to take responsibility for the Kuwaitis and Israelis who died, and are willing to endorse the aggression of the YLK people, then I agree to an immediate ceasefire and withdraw troops!"
The Soviets are crazy and dare to be responsible, they just want the stupid big wood to stay. Without hesitation, the Soviets left, and they did their best.
The Soviets hit a wall, the north did not mix, Britain and France were the first to change their attitudes, and the rest of the Middle Easterners.... The Sixth Middle East War, which had not happened in history, broke out!
The number of participants and countries in the war was much higher than that of the Fifth Middle East War, and the fighting was very fierce and in full swing, and the Middle Easterners no longer had the energy to support Silly Damu.
Compared with the same time in history, because of Sean's stab in the back, Silly Damu's situation is much worse than in history! Thirty-six hours after Operation Sabre in the Desert, 300,000 U.S. coalition troops reached Baghdad.
On the outskirts of Baghdad, Silly Damu is very afraid of death, and tries his best to fight with the US coalition forces, but he will not mobilize all the forces to protect the capital Baghdad, and there is also the last core force of YLK, 28 divisions, 360,000 troops!
1280 tanks, 1600 armored vehicles, 900 artillery pieces! No
Surrender!
After receiving Norman's public statement, Silly Damu no longer had any luck, nor did he think about dragging the American army in the desert, what he was thinking about now was a head-on showdown and causing the American coalition to suffer heavy losses!
If he does not give the US coalition a chance to rectify, he does not believe that the US army will not be tired at all if it fights continuously for 36 hours! It's not a comic, it's really a cyborg!
Silly Damu gave an order, the YLK people took the lead, the tank and armored vehicle units took the lead, and the self-propelled artillery hall was behind, and the air ..... Air power is gone.
Now the only deterrent in the hands of Silly Damu is anti-aircraft missiles and individual anti-aircraft missiles loaded on armored vehicles. If you die, you will bite off a piece of the meat of the US military!
The big war is just around the corner.... "Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" The first to strike was the US Tomahawk missile.
In Norman's plan, there was no need to ship these missiles back, and it was impossible to sell them to the Middle Easterners, so naturally they would all fall on the heads of the YLK army.
In front of Tomahawk missiles, no tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled guns and the like can withstand them, as long as they are hit, they will be finished immediately!
This was followed by the M270 rocket artillery covering fire with a range of up to 60 km, targeting the middle of the YLK Army, covered carpet bombardment, with the aim of cutting off its front and back links!
This was followed by air force bombing.
Tank units do not move at all, and problems that can be solved with bombing are not problems!
Before the war began, the foot-covering building had the worst-case plan to say goodbye to 15,000 body bags, but so far, the total number of US troops killed is less than 100, and now the attitude of the foot-covering building has changed radically!
Don't be afraid to spend money! Rich Blame Red Fuck!
The foot-covering building knows that the shortcoming of the U.S. military, or the U.S. government, is the "sacrifice" of numbers.
Once the death toll is too high, it will inevitably lead some countries or people with ulterior motives to incite anti-war *** to put pressure on the government.
Now the foot-covering building should take this opportunity to show the world that times have changed! The world's third-largest military power is no less than worth mentioning in front of the United States.
And what about the 1.2 million army, the American army wiped them out at the cost of less than a hundred killed!
All of you here are fucking taking a good look, look at the third military power, and then look at you, and then fucking reorganize the language!
Akimbo!!
Especially some people in the north, covering their feet in the building and raising their eyebrows, it's not 40 years ago now, the past is in the past!
See no, modern warfare, high-tech warfare!
What we pay attention to is electronic warfare, air superiority, mobile warfare, and long-range firepower! Don't mention to me any will to fight, I don't eat your set!!
After the Gulf War in '91, the U.S. military regained its confidence, and with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the U.S. really climbed to the top of the world, unshakable.
It was only after this that the United States began to provoke at every turn, and even made an incident in 99. To get back to the point, I don't know if the US military's envisioned enemy will eat high-tech warfare, and the YLK people will definitely eat it. It's really unbearable.
The armored units against the YLK people carried a lot of anti-aircraft missiles, and the US military responded with cluster bombs in the air!
Cluster bombs: anti-personnel submunitions, anti-armor submunitions, anti-runway submunitions and other different bombs are packed in a bomb box according to demand, and after the bomb box is dropped from the aircraft, it is lowered to a certain height and disintegrated under the action of the air burst charge, and the submunitions are thrown out to carry out a covering attack on ground targets.
Cluster bombs are not lethal to tanks, but they can be devastating against lightly armored targets such as armored vehicles or ground combatants!
The disadvantage is that about 30% of the bullets will not explode normally, and it will pose a huge threat to several square kilometers in the years after the explosion.
But, what does this have to do with the U.S. military?
Well, it still has something to do with the Army, but it has a fart relationship with the Air Force!
They were given the task of destroying special vehicles such as anti-aircraft missile units and radars in the armored forces of the YLK people, which were naturally cluster bombs
The most weighty!
After a wave of cluster bombs, the US military helicopter gunships swooped down like a swarm of YLK tank units on the ground.
These kings of land warfare have no power to resist!
On average, every 5 rounds of Hellfire can take out a YLK tank.
The U.S. Army's MA1A1 is not a vegetarian, and the depleted uranium armor shell makes the T-72, which is not equipped with reactive armor, look a little fragile.
At 5 p.m. on the 19th, 360,000 men from 28 divisions on the outskirts of Baghdad were completely dispersed, and the US army entered the capital Baghdad.
After entering the city, in order to avoid killing and injuring a large number of civilians and giving people with ulterior motives the opportunity to smear the US military, the US military had no choice but to reduce the intensity of the offensive.
At 8 p.m. on the 19th, after a short break of three hours, the U.S. military launched an attack on Baghdad.
The tragic street fighting did not happen, and the anti-American sentiment of the YLK people at this time was not so strong. However, the difficulties encountered in the offensive were not small, mainly because the powerful firepower of the US military could not be brought into play.
You can't really bomb a straight passage in Baghdad.....
The U.S. military wanted to avoid casualties again, and it was not until 4 o'clock in the morning of the 20th that the U.S. troops captured Silly Damu's palace, and Silly Damu's two sons were killed and Silly Damu was arrested.
It's not that Damu is stupid and doesn't want to run, it's that the western part of Baghdad has been surrounded by the US airborne division, and there are still planes patrolling the sky.
If there are fewer people and run out, he will be arrested, and if there are more people, he will drive tanks and armored vehicles and the like, which does not show that he is inside, but will only attract US bombing.
From the very beginning, the American military did not think of letting him go!
At 8 a.m. on the 20th, Norman held a press conference to announce that Silly Damu had been arrested, and that the coalition would take over the security and defense of YLK at the same time as the ceasefire, until the United Nations determined the handling of YLK.
At this point, the Gulf War officially ended.
This war has taught all countries of the world a lesson.
The YLK army suffered about 100,000 casualties, of which 20,000 were killed, 1.1 million were captured, 474 aircraft, 4,047 tanks, 1,650 armored vehicles, 3,117 artillery pieces, and 143 ships were lost.
The multinational force suffered 4,232 casualties, including 87 US killed and 358 wounded, 56 US planes, 68 multinational troops, 35 tanks, and 2 ships.
The tanks of the YLK people were basically wiped out by the helicopter gunships of the US army, so the gap between the battle losses of the two sides is so big!
However, the non-combat death toll is as high as 138, and the non-combat wounded are 2,978, and the climate in the desert area is too harsh, mainly because the high temperature from noon makes the coalition soldiers unbearable, heat stroke, and people who get out of their hands abound.
As soon as the war damage statistics report came out, it shocked the world.
The new mode of warfare has had a subversive effect on the traditional concept of warfare that has been formed since World War II. Of course, this is for the Big Five.
For other countries, they could not afford to fight the traditional scale of World War II..... High-tech or something, forget it.
.....
The war is over, but things are not.
After determining that the 540,000 troops deployed in Kuwait, including the border, were encircled, in order to prevent the US troops from landing from the sea and cooperating with other sides in the war, he first ordered to blow up the Wavra oil field in southern Kuwait, and the thick smoke covered the sun, and the crude oil flowed down the coast into the Persian Gulf.
He is convinced that the smoke from the burning oil can obscure the bay, and that the smoke and particles can block coalition air strikes and affect the effectiveness of precision-guided weapons and spy satellites.
Subsequently, he ordered the floodgates of the island oil terminal in the southern Kuwaiti port of Ahmadi to open and release oil into the bay, blowing up the oil pipeline in southern Kuwait in order to prevent the landing of the US fleet.
Whether this theory is correct or not, the result is that the Marines that Norman had planned to land on were kept out of the coastline, and it did work.
Of course, the battleship did not dare to drive in, and once it was ignited, it was impossible to drive out alive.
Oil floated over the sea, covered
Along the coast of Kuwait and along the current to the Bahrain region, Middle Eastern countries such as Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have been forced to create a jump barrier at sea to protect their desalination facilities.
As for the pollution caused, it is impossible to count!
In addition, in order to delay the footsteps of the US military and respond to aerial bombardment and infrared missile precision attacks, Silly Damu ordered the fire of 700 oil wells in Kuwait and planted a large number of mines around the burning oil wells.
The YLK army also dumped large quantities of crude oil directly on low-lying ground, forming several 1-kilometer-long, 3-meter-wide, and 3-meter-deep crude oil trenches on Kuwait's southern border as fortifications against coalition mechanized forces.
The fires burned 6 million barrels of crude oil per day, or 850,000 tons, and 1 million cubic meters of natural gas. At this time, the crude oil production of the whole country in the north was only 370,000 tons per day.
Now that Silly Damu has been arrested, all these bad things have fallen on the heads of the US coalition forces.
On the one hand, we have to take care of the 1.1 million YLK troops who have been captured, and on the other hand, we have to wait for the United Nations resolution on how to deal with them, and we also have to maintain law and order in YLK, military control over some large cities, maintain people's livelihood, deal with fires in Kuwait, and deal with oil that permeates the entire Gulf.
The war didn't make Norman lose his hair, but just two days after the end of the war, Norman's eyes were red and he had a nervous breakdown.
Norman was going crazy, calling the White House every hour, urging the government to immediately let the United Nations decide on the plan, and if it went on like this, he would feel that he would not live for a few days....
Sean, on the other hand, is full of energy, fuck, it's finally time to harvest!
