Dominate South Asia

Chapter 656 Interlude

It has been a month since the airstrike, and the Iraqi army is slowly recovering.

In a secret air-raid shelter, Saddam saw the computer that Shostakovich kept in touch with.

Shostakovich asked him to read a newly received email, which was written in Russian and contained very complicated content.

Iraq and the Soviet Union had a long-term cooperative relationship, and there were many Russian translators. Saddam immediately asked the translator to come and find out the content of the email.

The content of the email seemed to be a lot, but it was very concise. It was said that the Soviet General Staff, at the request of Marshal Olgakov, Minister of Defense, and its subordinate Military Intelligence Bureau (GRU) hacked into the computers of the US military base in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and intercepted a large number of military secrets of the other side, including the US military deployment and various military operations arrangements in the Gulf region, and the domestic security situation and public security forces in the United States. On these basis, combined with the actual combat power of the US military, domestic conditions and public psychology, simulate how to effectively defend and attack the US military without direct intervention by the Soviet army! The plan specifically proposed three sets of combat plans, namely "missile warfare", "unrestricted warfare" and "urban guerrilla warfare". The article coldly proposed to use special forces and armed intelligence personnel to use all means to attack the enemy's effective forces behind enemy lines without restrictions, and attack all personnel and facilities that can provide assistance to the enemy, even civilians and civilian facilities. The means include car bombs, model aircraft bombs, human suicide bomb attacks, etc. It can be said that every word is bloody and every sentence is sword-like. The whole article talks about how to kill and destroy efficiently behind enemy lines, bring the greatest damage to the enemy, and minimize its effective forces.

It also mentioned that the US military is about to carry out a large-scale bombing of Tikrit, Saddam's hometown, and requires intelligence personnel to conduct additional field assessments of the US military's air-to-ground integrated strike capabilities.

Saddam could not believe his eyes.

"Is this the time you mentioned? Is there no other way? Wouldn't the great Soviet Red Army go out to deter the United States, even if it's just to pull the Black Sea Fleet to the Gulf. No, just let it go around the Eastern Mediterranean, and the United States will be much more restrained."

"If you don't have military funds, I can provide all of them, as much as you need."

Saddam frowned and smoked cigarettes one after another.

"Mr. President, I reiterate that we are just a private enterprise and have nothing to do with any country. These plans are just suggestions, and the right to choose whether to implement them at this time is up to you." Shostakovich said calmly.

After listening, Saddam closed his eyes and thought, while the cigarette in his hand was still burning.

"You and I both understand that if I follow the plan provided by you Soviets, Iraq will bear all the anger of the Americans, and my people will suffer unprecedented massacres! This will become a hell, a hell full of blood and fire! And if I reveal these things to the Americans, will they regard you as enemies?" Saddam said angrily.

"Haha, Mr. President. Since the Cold War, the Americans have always been our enemies. We have drawn up countless plans to attack them. The same is true for their plans to attack us. Even if you give them this plan, I guess they will just take a look, laugh, and then lock it in a safe to rot slowly." Shostakovich blew smoke rings skillfully and narrated the facts to Saddam.

Saddam closed his eyes painfully. In his mind, there were two little men constantly hovering. One of them had sharp horns and a tail, and held a sharp fork in his hand, constantly tempting him to accept the Soviet plan. This is the best way. It will bring unprecedented harm to all Americans. You will become the greatest hero in the history of the Arab world. Another little man with a halo on his head advised that if you really do this, it will arouse unprecedented anger among Americans. Iraq will become a hell. Those people who love you will... The little man with sharp horns immediately knocked over the little man with the halo with a sharp fork and roared: "Our right hand is in hell now. Our left hand is in the abyss. Any compromise and cowardice will only bring greater disasters. If we don't bring huge harm and losses to the Americans, they will not stop. Now we have to try even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance. Anyway, if you fail, you will be hanged. If you succeed, you will be an unprecedented hero in the Arab world!"

For a long time. Saddam opened his eyes, his eyes were firm, and he clenched his fists.

"How sure are you of your plan?"

"If everything goes well, I'm 70% sure!"

"Okay, tell me about your plan, and you must explain every detail of the plan to me."

"Of course, Mr. President."

Shostakovich was also very excited. He knew that Saddam had made his choice. Of course, he admired Muhammad even more for having expected that Saddam would cling to any straw that could get him out of trouble like a drowning man. According to Muhammad's previous secret arrangement, the play directed by him was about to enter a climax.

Shostakovich said very sincerely: "Mr. President, this also requires your full cooperation, and we will provide you with the greatest help!"

The United States, the White House.

"We have no time to wait any longer. Our people can endure the Vietnam War for several years, but the endurance of our Gulf War is measured in months. For more than a month, our powerful force can only Are you relying on air strikes to gain honor for us?" Bush looked at the staff in front of him and said, "It's time for us to move forward with our next plan!"

According to the combat plan formulated by the army, high-intensity air strikes will first be used to undermine the morale of the Iraqi army, destroy Iraq's war potential, and cause the Iraqi army to suffer heavy losses in the air strikes. Then, when the time is ripe, a ground attack will be carried out.

But now, the Air Force's air strikes have turned out to be powerful from outside.

Iraq's Scud missiles have become the biggest threat to the coalition. The coalition's air power has to be mobilized. Almost more than 80% of the force is used to search for those mobile Scud missile launchers in Iraq, which are used for bombing. The power of ground targets had to be reduced.

For this reason, the United States has had to increase its cruise missile attacks. However, now, cruise missiles frequently fail due to interference. Moreover, the cost of cruise missiles is much higher than that of bombs dropped by aircraft.

Since the war, the United States' finances have already begun to be tight. Modern wars are all about money.

The incident in Dhahran has been quiet for the time being. It is time for the United States to give a decent explanation to the country and show the power of the U.S. military with a clean and tidy battle!

"The recent situation is unusual." CIA Director William Webster said: "We have investigated the Scud missile that attacked Dhahran. The guidance accuracy is quite high, and it should have been improved by the technology of a certain country. Moreover, our Agents ventured into Iraq and found that they were using jammers to interfere with our cruise missiles. Iraq will never study these technologies on its own, and there is a mastermind behind the scenes!"

There is a mastermind behind the scenes! Improved Scud guidance accuracy, use jammer! These are not Iraqi technologies. There is a country with excellent technology that supports Iraq behind the scenes!

As for who is behind this, it goes without saying that everyone knows it.

"The Soviets must have done it! They openly support us at the United Nations, but now that we are attacking Iraq, they must be dissatisfied, so they will sabotage us behind our back!" Secretary of State James Baker said.

"Don't worry about these things!" Bush said: "We now need to use the powerful force of the United States to crush Iraq, restore Kuwait, and at the same time achieve long-term military garrison in Kuwait!"

The Soviet Union must be unhappy behind the scenes, and it is also expected by Bush Sr. to engage in some small conspiracies. After all, Iraq was the younger brother of the Soviet Union. Now that the Soviet Union's national power is weak, it is engaged in reforms. The more reforms it makes, the more chaotic it is. It has no time to take care of Iraq. We can only use dirty tricks behind the scenes, but none of these will stop the United States!

"Are our troops ready for a ground attack?" Bush continued to ask his staff.

"Yes, Mr. President, our military has always been prepared." Secretary of Defense Cheney said: "General Schwarzkopf has formulated an integrated air-ground combat plan, code-named Desert Saber, which will be deployed in Saudi Arabia and Approximately 500,000 people on the Kuwait and Iraqi borders Five attack groups were launched from east to west on the front of the meter. The goal was to eat up the 8 divisions of the Iraqi Republican Guard and recapture Kuwait! Among them, the Arab Eastern Front Combined Forces attacked north along the coast and occupied Kuwait City; our first 1 Marine Expeditionary Force from Sharkob border The "Elbow" attacked northward, captured the Mutrah Pass, cut off the road from Kuwait City to northeastern Kuwait, and attracted the main force of the Iraqi army to Kuwait; the Arab Northern Front joint forces moved from the western section of the Saudi Arabian border to Ali Semim Attack in the direction of the airport, cooperate with friendly forces to eliminate the Iraqi army in Kuwait and occupy Kuwait City; our Seventh Army carried out the main assault, advancing from the west to the north of the Wadi al-Batin, until inserted deep into Iraq, and then marched eastward, cooperating with its neighbor, the 18th Airborne Army, to encircle and annihilate the Iraqi Republican Guard in the area south of Basra; our 18th Airborne Army carried out auxiliary assaults, breaking into the Iraqi border from the Saudi-Iraqi border to On the banks of the Euphrates River, control Highway 8 east of Samawah leading to Baghdad, isolate the Iraqi troops in Kuwait, and coordinate with the Seventh Army to annihilate the Iraqi Republican Guard.”

A schematic diagram was displayed on the projector. On a wide offensive surface, five forces advanced in coordination to flatten the Iraqi army in one fell swoop! (To be continued ~^~)
