Chapter 1450 The Gulf War That Completely Changed

"Furthermore, as the Iraq War continues, the Chinese will not benefit much. Although they have oil fields in Iran, Iraq and Kuwait, since Iraq occupied Kuwait, the oil fields of these two countries ceased production. The only imported crude oil is Iran. The quantity is small and the international oil price rises. For them, the impact will be greater because their transportation costs have become higher..." Bush also did not believe that this was done by the Chinese. .

"The biggest beneficiary of the Gulf War is the Soviet Union. The national oil price has risen several times, and the supply cannot keep up. The Soviet Union's economy, which was about to collapse, was relieved to a certain extent by the rise of international crude oil prices and insufficient international supply. The war proceeded. The longer it takes, the greater the benefits they will get!" Bush said, almost gritted his teeth.

Soviet talents are the biggest beneficiaries.

It stands to reason that since Saddam came to power that year, the relationship between the Soviet Union and Iraq has been completely an iron ally.

All kinds of advanced weapons and equipment were sold to Iraq.

And now?

The Soviet Union unexpectedly uncharacteristically supported them in beating Iraq.

It’s not that the Americans don’t know the ambitions of the Soviets. It’s just that they have already won the hegemony. The Soviets will not be able to do so. The Bush administration will fight Iraq. This is the original strategy. As long as the Soviets did not send troops publicly, they did not regard them as a thing. According to the analysis of various situations before, it only took two months to completely resolve the war in Iraq, thereby dropping the international crude oil price.

It was only now that I realized that it was impossible to overcome Saddam in two months.

"This matter must be let the Soviets give us an explanation." Bush gritted his teeth and said, "but now, what we should consider is how to solve this problem."

"The solution is to either change the previous combat plan and carry out an assault. We have thousands of advanced fighters, six aircraft carrier battle groups, thousands of tanks and more armored vehicles, regardless of number or performance. Iraq is much stronger. Although this combat plan may have more losses, it can resolve the war faster. The Iraqi army, after our entire army has attacked Baghdad, if it does not come out, we can only occupy Baghdad in the end. ..."

Cheney’s attitude indicated that he supported the revised combat plan of the Middle East command.

Iraqis must be taught justice.

"Our original plan was only to maimed the Iraqi army, so that they would no longer have the ability to interfere in the affairs of other countries in the Middle East, and to show our military power to the whole world. If we occupy Baghdad, we will eventually run counter to our previous plan. ..." Bush Sr. was very sad.

He is ready to maimed Iraq, and then leave a portion of the army behind and continue to fight Iraq to maintain the influence of the US army in the Middle East.

Then, when his son Bush Jr. becomes the president of the United States, he can continue to beat Iraq and allow the US military to continue to grow. The government's desire to reduce defense spending becomes empty talk.

Even a lot of his things are ready.

If he wins re-election, his term will last until 1996, and only four years will not be ruled by the Bush family!

This is also true in history. Bush Jr. was the first president to win the overall presidential election since the election of US President Benjamin Harrison in 1888, but did not win the presidential election.

If it were not for the conspiracy, he would not have won the presidential position, and, because of the Afghan War, the second Gulf War, this grandson was re-elected as president that his father had not won.The United States under the control of the Bush family is expanding its military madly and encroaching on the whole world...

"We will not occupy Baghdad. We only need to achieve the original goal to withdraw troops from Iraq!" Cheney comforted the president.

"If we have too many casualties in the war, the people will not accept it!" Bush shook his head."The other thing is that once we occupy Baghdad, we will have to occupy the entire Iraq. Our situation in the Middle East will be very dangerous..."

Bush’s advisory team had already warned about this.

The United States is fighting Iraq for no legitimate reasons.

Countries such as Iraq do not want them to intervene, and Kuwait also hopes to resolve the issue through negotiations.However, the U.S. government coerced and lured them, and at the same time, the U.S. government announced to the country that one of the most important reasons was that their military satellites captured the Iraqi army gathering at the border and might attack Saudi Arabia at any time.

On the eve of the war against Iraq, Pentagon officials told the outside world that according to highly classified satellite photos obtained by the United States, Iraq had deployed 250,000 troops and 1,500 tanks along the Saudi-Iraq border in mid-June 1991, directly threatening the United States’ main oil supply. Country-Saudi Arabia’s security.

Saudi Arabia is the main fuel supplier to the United States. Once there is a problem, their economy will be even worse.

The Arab coalition was established entirely under their coercion and temptation.

Otherwise, Lieutenant General Khalid would not refuse to send their Arab coalition air force to bomb various targets in Iraq at the beginning.

As long as Iraq is occupied, the entire Middle East will instantly turn from an ally to an enemy.

"And now, if we don’t fight, our technology will be leaked if the wreckage of our wrecked fighters is taken back. At the same time, dozens of surviving pilots are in that area, and there are two special operations soldiers sent by special operations units. Will be isolated and helpless..." This is a war that the US military has to fight.

"No other choice?" Bush gritted his teeth and asked his advisory team.

They all shook their heads.

If there is no rescue, it will be a serious scandal.

Announced, the domestic anti-war sentiment will be exaggerated and become even higher.

If it is not announced, this matter cannot be concealed forever. As long as journalists know about the freedom of the press in the West, the anti-war sentiment is even higher, and the Bush administration may even collapse soon.

"How about using our advanced equipment for remote support? Our heavy equipment is available in the outer area..."

"If you can't get in touch, the other party cannot let them out. This is a trap."

Cheney spoke out the analysis of Schwarzkopf and Powell.

"Since it is a trap, why do we have to go inside!" Bush stood up suddenly, slamming his fist on the table, "We can attack this area with long-range missiles!"

"..."

silence.

Everyone looked at their president in surprise.

If this remark is known to the outside world, the government will be overthrown by the people every minute.

This is completely disregarding the lives of their soldiers, and even this will cause the US army to fail to recruit soldiers in the future.

"Okay!" Bush is not not clear, but to vent his unhappiness.

In the end, after a long discussion, they could only send ground troops.In that area, only infantry can be sent, carrying combat weapons without much electronic equipment, and their advanced weapons and equipment can only provide fire support in the rear.

The president signed the combat plan submitted by the front command, and then sat down weakly.

"I hope there will be no more accidents. Our army can lose equipment, can waste ammunition, but cannot kill too many people!" Bush murmured after signing the battle plan.

If the equipment is lost, you can continue to manufacture it. If the ammunition is wasted, you can also manufacture it yourself.Anyway, before the war started, Baker let countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait pay for the war.The Americans used the war to sell all their weapons and ammunition costs decades ago.

This is a very profitable thing.

If there are too many deaths and too many casualties, this is absolutely unacceptable to the US military.

In the Korean War, the United States killed tens of thousands and injured nearly 100,000; in the Vietnam War, the United States killed tens of thousands, more than the Korean War division, and injured hundreds of thousands.

The people opposed the war, and did not oppose the government's expenditure in these wars, but opposed the casualties...

Now, in the Iraq War, the Americans initially anticipated the situation. They used their advanced and huge air force to bomb Iraq, wiped out all their ground forces, and then used the ground forces to accept the surrender of the Iraqi army.Casualties will be negligible.

However, everything has changed now.

After the meeting, CIA Director Evik took a plane to the Middle East. He wanted to sit in the Middle East himself and let the intelligence services over there take the blame.

The National Strategic Security Agency has also begun to investigate these situations in an all-round way, to find out the source of these advanced weapons in Iraq, and to understand how many they have.

Having benefited from the president, Baker immediately interviewed the Soviet ambassador to the United States and the Chinese ambassador to the United States, pointing to the two countries selling weapons and equipment to Iraq.

The Soviets gave him a blank eye, and it was not just their family who sold it, but the Americans themselves did not sell it less.

Now the Soviet Union has not continued to provide Iraqi weapons and equipment.

The Chinese ambassador said that China is not capable of providing such advanced weapons and equipment.

In particular, Baker accused the Chinese side of violating the embargo regulations, and he was hit in the face by the Chinese ambassador.

The Paris Coordinating Committee's embargo list is mainly for technical blockades and embargoes against socialist countries. The embargo list against China is more than 700 pages longer than that against the Soviet Union. Now using this to blame China is not nonsense what?

Anyway, everyone is not afraid of quarrels.

The main job of the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to fight internationally...
