Super military empire

(I'm really sorry everyone, I should have revised it after six o'clock, and I have been sleeping until now...)

In the naval battle in the Gulf of Kuwait, due to communication problems, communication was completely restored after an hour before being informed that the United States had set up the headquarters of the King Khalid Military City in Saudi Arabia.

Before that, the US military had completely occupied Kuwait City, encircling the remaining troops in Kuwait from the north and south in an area more than 30 kilometers north of Kuwait City.

However, after the troops ahead occupied the Iraqi army's previous positions, they discovered that many of the military equipment they destroyed did not leave any wreckage!

U.S. artillery shells and bombs have turned most of the buildings in Kuwait City into ruins.

And in these ruins, they found a lot of wood chips after burning!

Before the war, the Iraqi army had withdrawn most of its military forces from Kuwait, and there were not too many troops left here!

The US military is only conducting long-range strikes, which prevents them from discovering it in the first time.

Such a situation was passed to the headquarters and Powell spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Before he had digested the news, the news of the aircraft carrier formation being hit in the Kuwait Gulf came again.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, our two aircraft carrier fleets in Kuwait Bay were suddenly attacked. Among them, the USS Midway Island sank... a Ticonderoga-class cruiser sank, three Charles Adams-class destroyers sank... two ammunition The supply ship exploded and sank, and a fuel supply ship exploded and sank... The USS aircraft carrier was seriously injured... The two aircraft carrier fleets completely lost the ability to continue operations..." The communications staff quickly reported this to the Chief of Staff after the communications were repaired. bad news.

Hearing such bad news, Powell didn't recover for a long time.

The American invincible aircraft carrier fleet that traversed the earth and oceans was so hit in such a war.

This is a disaster in the history of the U.S. Navy that is more serious than the attack on Pearl Harbor.

"Go out..." Powell could no longer cohesive in the face of such bad news.

"Chief of Staff..." the staff officer said with some worry, looking at Powell's pale face and the condition of his entire body collapsed on the chair.

"Go out, I need to think carefully. From the beginning of the war, we seem to have fallen into the trap of the enemy!" Powell is not a fool.

If it is said from the beginning that the weapons and equipment that the Iraqis purchased from the Soviet Union can cause extremely serious harm to them, this is possible.The Soviets sold advanced weapons and equipment to Iraq.

However, by now, the Iraqis, perhaps people from other countries, have destroyed the aircraft carrier that the US military is proud of. Although the Midway Island has already fallen behind, it will not even retire until the end of the war. The US Department of Defense has prepared. Arrange for the Independence aircraft carrier to come to the bay area to replace the USS Midway.

No anger, no rage.

This war has an invisible man behind the scenes.

Perhaps it was the Soviets who stumbled them behind their backs, but can the United States go to war against the Soviets on this ground at this time?

"Commander, my next battle plan..." the officer below asked Powell.

At present, the entire headquarters has been completely shrouded in pessimism.

They don't know whether the war can continue.

Everyone knows that even if they win this war, they will lose the war.

After only two days of war, the 24th Infantry Division was completely destroyed. Now it has lost another aircraft carrier formation, and another aircraft carrier formation can no longer enter the war.

The equivalent of two formations are gone.

Rao is that the Ministry of Defense and the government prepared 10,000 body bags to carry the corpses of the US army before the war, but it is not enough now.

What kind of order should the headquarters give?

"To retaliate against the Iraqis, we have nothing we can do except launch a nuclear strike from the country. Up to now, our losses are no longer what we can bear." Powell took a deep breath and said to the entire headquarters, "To the Pentagon To report in detail on the losses we have undertaken in the past two days, I will personally want the president to submit a report...Closing the meeting, waiting for further domestic orders! At the same time, order all troops to stop all military operations..."

In order to maintain that modest morale, Powell had to give an order to stop all military operations.

In American history, he is the most influential chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff because of his black status.

At the same time, he is also the most aggrieved chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the history of the United States, because his plan to attack Iraq is a pile of rubbish.

This combat plan caused the US military to fall into trouble and at the same time caused tens of thousands of outstanding American soldiers to sacrifice.

For all this, he bears an unshirkable responsibility.

Especially at this time, Schwarzkopf, as the commander-in-chief, pretended to be sick and hid in the hospital. He was alone, unable to reverse the situation.

As a result, Powell began to lock himself in the headquarters office alone, and ordered the orderly soldiers to bring paper and pen. He wanted to record all the circumstances of the war and present it to the president.

"First, since the beginning of the war, the Iraqis seem to have grasped the opportunity everywhere. In terms of intelligence, most of the information we have obtained is false. The Iraqis who stayed in the Kuwaiti army have proved that many are false targets... …"

Intelligence error, this is the main reason for their mistake this time.

Before the war, the United States collected a lot of intelligence, but not much of this intelligence is true.

They believe that Iraq’s air defense forces cannot pose a threat to their stealth fighters. Even if they can pose a threat, after blowing up Iraq’s radar command post and combat/interception command center at the beginning, Baghdad’s air defense forces will become blind. Becoming deaf...

In fact, this is not the case at all.

The f117 squadron that went to Baghdad for the bombing mission was precisely intercepted. Of the 40 F117 fighters sent out, only three fled back.

Their radar can't detect their stealth fighter, but Baghdad has radar to know it.

This is based on the results of the investigation of the three f117 pilots who fled back.

The Iraqis seem to have known their military deployment a long time ago!

"So, in the second aspect, the country's top-secret military plan was leaked..." Powell had to be so suspicious.This is something he didn’t want to understand in the past two days. “How the 24th Infantry Division was discovered by the Iraqis who dared not even take off the plane. In the direction of the army’s advancement, there are special operations forces around. Clean up..."

"From the very beginning, we used fighter planes to test the air defense firepower of Baghdad and detect the nighthawk’s stealth ability during the day. However, our fighter group was ambushed, whether it received a missile attack, or was it just a graphite dust bomb attack from the other side Until the pilot is retrieved, it is impossible to conclude that no matter from one aspect, we are all hit by the enemy..."

"Iraqis have a powerful armed force that we can't imagine. The number of their missiles is far beyond our cognition, and the intelligence agency hasn't found the slightest of all this... Are these missiles manufactured by themselves or purchased from other countries? There are the same fighters as our f14. Are these fighters Iranian?"

Powell kept writing down all his doubts.

It didn't take long for me to have written many pages.

Intelligence work, this is necessary before any war.

The United States believes that it has been fully prepared for this war, and even mobilized its most powerful armed forces. It has mobilized more than 4,000 tanks, more than 6,000 armored vehicles, more than 1,500 fighters, six aircraft carriers, and 500,000 US troops. , More than one hundred thousand coalition forces...

This is a powerful military force that far exceeds the total strength of Iraq by hundreds and has advanced many levels.

However, the U.S. military with such an advantage was embarrassed by the Iraqi army at the beginning of the war.

Even, I haven't seen the Iraqi air force and ground forces!

All this evidence points in one direction—the top Americans have spies, maybe the Soviets, or other hostile American forces.

In this war, whoever gets the most benefits is the man behind the war.

"There are so many advanced weapons in Iraq, and they are not even worse than ours. Many weapons and equipment are designed for our weapons... The Gulf War broke out, and even since Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, international oil prices have skyrocketed. The greatest benefit... and the only people who can do things like this and set a full set for us are the Soviets..."

Finally, Powell listed the various reasons why the Soviets participated in it.

All this is his suspicion.

After he finished writing, he checked again to make sure everything was written, and then he picked up the photo of his wife Alma on the table.

Gently stroking his wife in the photo, Powell kept thinking about the little things he had known Alma in his life.

Since he became the chairman of the first joint chiefs of staff in the United States, Alma kept moving with his children because they were black.

Colin Powell won a total of 11 medals on the battlefield in Vietnam, which allowed him to climb to a high position that blacks could not reach, and also made him assume greater responsibilities.

Immediately, Powell picked up the pen again and wrote to his wife Alma.

"Alma, please forgive me! As an American soldier... the war was lost... We lost the lives of tens of thousands of young men and many officers in just two days... No matter whether it is public opinion or morale. Continue to launch the offensive...As the highest commander, I can only take on my responsibilities..."

Powell opened the drawer after writing to his wife...

"Bang!" A crisp gunshot sounded in Powell's office...
