Super military empire

Saddam's speech shocked the whole world.

The U.S. government did not immediately refute the rumors, which has convinced the whole world that the U.S. military suffered a big loss in Iraq.

Saddam actually announced the fact that they had biological and chemical weapons in their hands to the world. This was originally a good thing for the US government. After all, before the war, there was a reason that Iraq might possess biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction. The entire world peace is a serious threat.

However, regardless of international rules, Saddam actually told the whole world that the biological and chemical weapons they possessed were actually provided to them by the United States during the Iran-Iraq War!

In this way, how can the US government not be passive?

Regarding this news, the US government quickly publicly refuted rumors to the world.

The White House Press Office responded within half an hour after Saddam released the news.

"Regarding Iraq’s possession of biological and chemical weapons, this is the exact news that our intelligence agencies have obtained before. The United States is a responsible world power and has been making due efforts for world peace... Saddam’s government has always been The study of weapons of mass destruction is not only biological and chemical weapons, but also nuclear weapons... This is to confuse the public and shift the responsibility of launching wars and destroying world peace to our government... This is slander. The US government cannot Provide any weapons and equipment to any terrorist forces. During the Iran-Iraq War, in order to prevent Khomeini from affecting the peace and stability of the entire Middle East, and to ensure that our oil supply does not have problems, the US government provided a batch of conventional weapons to the Iraqi army. equipment……"

It is absolutely impossible for the US government to admit this.

For them, this is absolutely unbearable.

The spokesperson of the White House, this is a member of the core team of the White House, the administrative level is second only to cabinet members.He can attend all the highest-level meetings, except for the President, Vice President, Secretary of Defense, and Secretary of State. The fifth person is the press spokesperson.

It stands to reason that most of the White House spokespersons are journalists or people who have worked in the media.The same is true of Bush's current spokesperson.

Jim has always been very cautious in his previous work.

Adhering to the principle that the spokesperson must stand on a fair stand, he can not answer many questions, but he cannot lie.

And now, he can't help answering all the media in the world.

He knows the situation facing the US government better than anyone else.

Once things are stabbed out, eventually the entire government will fall in the scandal, and he will also be ruined.Such consequences are unbearable for the entire United States.

"Excuse me, Mr. Jim, are the casualties of our 24th Division true regarding the news announced by Iraqi President Saddam?" An American reporter asked the spokesperson.

They really care about it.

Because that is the American army, the entire division has more than 15,000 people. If it is annihilated, how many casualties will it be?

This can concern a large number of American families.

"At present, the president and relevant persons in charge of the Ministry of National Defense are fully understanding the situation on the front line. We will announce the news to all media..." This news obviously cannot be released at this time.

"Excuse me, how did the Iraqis intercept so many missiles? Is the Soviet missile interception technology more advanced than ours? The Star Wars plan proposed by President Reagan before, the country has been fully committed, why..."

"Excuse me, what is the position of the Soviets in this war?"

"When we started the war, did the Iraqis really start to withdraw?"

The questions raised by journalists from all over the world are very sharp.

Rao had been mentally prepared before, but he was also a little hard to resist.He knew many things, but he couldn't answer them.

At least, he can't answer until the president discusses a solution with his think tank team.

After saying that he went to understand the situation and gave everyone an answer as soon as possible, Jim left the press conference site.

Go to the conference room next to the president's office.

Here, an emergency meeting is being held.

"How should we deal with the current situation? Once we fail to deal with it, not only will we lose the war, but the U.S. oil supply will also not be guaranteed. This will affect the entire country’s economy and even national security. It's very clear." Bush's face was somber and silent, Vice President Dan Quill said with a serious face.

Inside, there are all Bush’s advisers, and at the same time, there are people with the highest-level meetings in the United States.

Secretary of Defense Cheney and Secretary of State Baker are all here.

Saddam simply played his cards out of common sense.

"We can't hide such a huge loss. We can only announce the news to the people of the whole country!" said Jim, who just came in, "If we don't announce it, once the media knows the situation and announces it to the people, it will cause a serious government credibility crisis ."

"What about after the announcement? Retreat? Or expand the scope of the offensive? The whole world is paying attention to this war. The Soviets are stumbling us here, while they are watching jokes!" the president said angrily.

The Soviets are too much.

The United States cannot blame the Soviets indiscriminately as Saddam did.

They cannot accuse the Soviets of provoking them in the war because the Soviet Union sold a large number of weapons and equipment to Iraq.

The Soviet government, which has serious domestic conflicts, is eager to have a local war with the United States now, so as to shift the domestic conflicts and give the Soviet Union time to resolve their domestic problems.

What's more, these weapons and equipment were sold to Iraq before the international embargo on Iraq. The U.S. government has all admitted that they sold conventional weapons and equipment to Iraq, which is lower than the Iranian aggression.

Big countries must take into account their international image, otherwise, who can listen to them in international affairs?

"Saddam must be given a more painful lesson. The most important thing now is whether the Soviets really participated in it. Why did our intelligence system have such a big mistake... At the same time, how does the Iraqi side know about our army transfer? It's the case. They don't have satellites, they don't have reconnaissance planes, and even the fighter jets were only dispatched once last night..." Cheney gritted his teeth.

As defense minister, this is his shame.

The US military consumes the largest amount of funds in the world every year, and as a result, its combat effectiveness has become like this.

"How to fight? Baghdad has a complete defense system. Our fighters cannot bomb them. Forcibly bombed, they will suffer heavy losses... The ground forces attacked, and the 24th Infantry Division had just been annihilated. What are they going to do? How many missiles are there? If they really acquired the manufacturing technology..." Bush was born as a soldier, and he understands these aspects very well.

"In fact, what we should most now is to understand the extent of Soviet involvement in this!" Baker rarely spoke.

We communicated with the Soviet Union before.

The Soviets made it clear that they would not participate in this.

For this war, the only countries that have the ability to intervene in this war are the United Kingdom and France, which are traditional allies of the United States. It is impossible and there is no reason to cheat the United States.

There are only two greatest possibilities left.

Both countries belong to the red camp and are the targets of being defeated by the United States.

China's domestic economic strength made it impossible for them to support their own domestic military, and they carried out a one-million-dollar disarmament. A large number of domestic military factories were continuously closed down due to the shift of national strategic focus to economic construction.Why are they involved in it?

Although the US blockade of China is more serious than that of the Soviet Union, there is still deep cooperation.

More importantly, it is impossible for the Chinese to come up with so many advanced weapons and equipment, and it is impossible for their radar systems to allow all stealth fighters of the United States to be discovered.

"The Soviets have the biggest reason. As long as we are caught in the Iraq War, the oil production in the Middle East will not be able to increase. It is them who get the most benefit! Their biggest problem is the economic aspect. The international oil price has been maintained at 40 US dollars. Around the barrel, the Soviet Union is rich in oil resources..." Thomas, a consultant studying Soviet issues, pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and said.

Indeed, the Soviets have such reasons.

Only the Soviets could provide Iraq with such advanced weapons and equipment.

"During the Libyan war, their Vega air defense system hurt us. If we did not enter from the rear passage, we would also be hit hard in that war. Five years have passed since the war, and the Soviets should have already The entire system has been perfected, so the Iraqi Baghdad defense is so tight..." Cheney also expressed his support for this view.

For them, no matter how they analyze it, they think that the Soviets have good reasons.

Although the technology of the Soviets is much worse than that of the United States in many aspects, their technological development speed has exceeded that of the United States.

The investment is crazy.

The appearance of Su-27 and MiG-29 are obvious examples.

Now the Soviets have even established a space station in outer space and are preparing to move laser weapons into space.

"Over the Middle East, Soviet satellites have always maintained a high degree of attention, and even one satellite has been monitoring everything in a geostationary orbit. If the Soviets provide intelligence to Iraq..."

Everything is directed towards the Soviet Union.

The Soviets played a very disgraceful role here.

"We should unite with Europe to launch sanctions against the Soviet Union!" Bush's dissatisfaction with the Soviets has reached the limit of tolerance.
