Pioneer of the Rebirth Era
Chapter 242 Traditional War Concepts
Yang Dongxu was particularly busy that day. In addition to filming, he had to read a lot of international newspapers. There was even a map of the Middle East in the room, and the already reported Iraqi march route and progress in Kuwait were also marked by him.
Don't look at how Iraq was beaten by the US military in later generations. Now Iraq is like a big brother in the Middle East. If the younger brother is disobedient, he will beat the younger brother.
For example, one of the causes of the Gulf War was the issue of oil extraction. Iraq owed debts to some Arab countries, including $14 billion in debt to Kuwait.
So he hoped that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) would reduce oil production and increase oil prices so that he could make profits and repay his debts. However, Kuwait increased oil production and lowered its prices, hoping to force Iraq to resolve the border dispute between the two.
After that, the two began to blame each other and argue with each other for several years without any results. So on August 1, 1990, the negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait on the oil issue broke down. Then the next day, Laos directly sent troops
.
At this time, it has been just over a year since the Iran-Iraq War. From this, we can see how sluggish Iraq is in the Middle East now, and it will attack anyone who disobeys.
Of course, this is also related to international relations. After all, behind Iraq is the Soviet Union, a superpower that can compete with the United States. With such a "big brother" standing behind it, naturally no one will be frightened. If you dare to jump, I will
beat you.
However, Lao Sa obviously didn't see the timing of his popularity this time, or he was a little overconfident in the big brother behind him. Currently, he, the big brother, is a little uneasy in the country.
On March 11 this year, Lithuania declared independence from the Soviet Union and held a referendum. This was undoubtedly the prelude to the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Therefore, this seemingly powerful polar bear was already suffering from internal and external troubles. At this time, even if he wanted to take care of his little brother,
It was a bit weak-minded, so the outcome of the Gulf War was doomed from the beginning.
However, these are not the focus of Yang Dongxu's current focus. What he wants to do now is how to shift the attention of senior officials from the war itself to oil, and see how the country can 'intervene' when the Middle East is in chaos.
Is it possible to get some oil orders back from business?
I have to say that this question is a bit ironic, because in the Middle East, which is dominated by oil, the country's focus is not on oil, but on the war itself.
In other words, the concern above is whether the war will further expand now that the United States has sent troops. After all, there is a big brother behind Iraq. Once the two superpowers start fighting, will World War III break out?
In other words, since the United States has sent troops, both strategic deployment and weapons and equipment have become the focus of high-level attention, in order to measure how big the gap between the two countries' military strength was.
Of course, war is a national matter, and Yang Dongxu's little arms and legs can't get involved, and he doesn't have the ability to participate. What he is focusing on now is oil.
Although the domestic economic development is still accelerating at present, it is basically self-sufficient in energy consumption. After all, China also has oil fields. The energy issue has not been choked yet, but if it is not choked now, it does not mean that it will not be choked in the future.
Something must be prepared in advance.
"Time is too tight, and there is no money." Yang Dongxu looked at the map of the Middle East in front of him and scratched his hair irritably.
No matter what is being said in the Middle East, as long as the United States starts to take action, the Gulf War, which may trigger World War III, will end in just one month.
This is a result that no one expected. Before the United States announced its action, no one would have thought that Iraq, which could engage in an eight-year war with Iran, would be unable to fight back in front of the United States.
So if you have money, there are too many things that can be done here. Even if Yang Dongxu cannot intervene in such things, after the war, both Iraq, which is sanctioned by the United Nations, and Kuwait, which has been devastated by the war, will need funds to recover.
Naturally, the only thing they can use as collateral is oil, so this is the best time to seize oil fields from the Middle East. Not only is the price low, but Europe and the United States are not jointly imposing an energy blockade on China, they can definitely seize many oil fields.
But what troubles Yang Dongxu is that he, who seems to be worth over a billion, has no money at all. Let alone buy the entire oil field, he can't even afford the money to buy some shares in the oil field.
"NND, what a loss, what a big loss." Seeing a piece of fat meat placed in front of him but unable to eat it, Yang Dongxu felt crazy.
After staying in Hong Kong for another five days, under the urging of the old man who called several times a day, Yang Dongxu hurriedly edited the sample and flew back to Yanjing. As soon as he got off the plane, he didn't even have time to return to the courtyard, and was picked up directly at the airport.
Delivered to the old man's residence.
"You're so arrogant." Zhou Yiren, whose hair had turned completely silver-white and wore reading glasses with thick glasses, looked at Yang Dongxu angrily.
"If you can't fight in a short time, what are you afraid of?" Yang Dongxu shrugged.
If the old man hadn't pressed too hard, he actually wanted to come back in a few days. It wasn't that he wanted to finish all the finishing work of the movie and arrange for it to be released before coming back. It was that he couldn't figure out how to do it when he didn't have enough money.
After the Gulf War, oil fields were taken from Kuwait.
"What do you think of this war?" Zhou Yiren was too lazy to talk nonsense with Yang Dongxu and asked directly.
"As long as the United States completes its troop deployment and starts taking action, Iraq will lose."
"Oh?" Zhou Yiren stared at Yang Dongxu, waiting for the next words.
Yang Dongxu's definition that Iraq must lose did not surprise Zhou Yiren, because they had obtained similar results during their research these days.
After all, Iraq seems to be powerful in the Middle East. It fought Iran before, and now it is attacking Kuwait. It even quickly destroyed Kuwait's defenses and forced the Kuwaiti royal family to flee to other countries for refuge.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But it is not certain whether it is still so powerful in front of the US military, because the national strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all, and Iraq is the invading party.
Therefore, as long as the war lasts longer, Iraq will definitely lose.
Not to mention United Nations sanctions and multinational coalition forces, Iraq and the United States alone are not the same heavyweights. It is clear who wins and who loses, one is a superpower and the other is a small country in the Middle East.
However, their research was research, and Zhou Yiren still wanted to hear the basis for Yang Dongxu's view that Iraq must be defeated.
"When comparing the two countries in terms of international status, military strength, and comprehensive national strength, the United States is far ahead of Iraq. Does a fight between a small country in the Middle East and a world superpower still need analysis?"
"It's not as different as you said, right?" Zhou Yiren frowned.
Although Iraq is not a strong military country, it has not stopped fighting in recent years, so the combat effectiveness of the army is very good, and the weapons and equipment in hand are relatively advanced. It has been changing its military uniforms. It is not a little overlord in the Middle East.
Can't.
Therefore, in Zhou Yiren's view, even if the United States is very powerful, the combat effectiveness of the Iraqi army is not bad, and the two should be able to extend the two rounds. Of course, Iraq is bound to lose. No one knows the answer without analysis.
But Yang Dongxu sounded like Iraq couldn't even hold off for two rounds, which surprised Zhou Yiren.
"The so-called is almost just an appearance, and it also depends on who you compare with. He can fight Iran and even beat Kuwait to the point of being unable to fight back, but he is just a piece of cake in front of the American army. You must know that the equipment that Iraq seems to have purchased
They are all great.
But all the arms that can be sold in the world are not only eliminated, but they are at least one or two grades worse, especially some heavy weapons such as missiles. Countries that sell these arms all have them in their hands.
More than one trump card can deal with these weapons for sale. What should you do if they turn around and hit your own head?
Therefore, how long Iraq can persist does not depend on its current military strength, but on the determination of the United States to capture it, or the military expenditure the United States is willing to pay for it.
Based on the analysis of the current situation, the United States is very determined to win Iraq, and its military formation is obviously designed to defeat it in one strike without any delay, so Iraq will not be able to hold on for long."
Zhou Yiren said nothing and looked at Yang Dongxu with a frown. He also knew that the equipment of the United States was very powerful and powerful, and he would not deceive himself on this point. But he felt that Yang Dongxu had given the weapons and equipment of the United States to Shinhwa.
Advanced weapons and equipment are powerful, but fighting still depends on people. Didn’t New China come all the way from Xiaomi and rifles? When we resisted U.S. aggression and aided Korea, faced with the powerful United States and advanced weapons, didn’t China win?
So he admitted that advanced weapons are powerful, but advanced weapons are not magical weapons, so the extent of their power is still limited. In fact, they are not the only ones who think so, almost everyone thinks so now. After all, China’s victory in resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea completely relied on advanced weapons.
The country that started the war with weapons was too shocked.
If Yang Dongxu had not been born again, he would have felt that although the equipment of the US military was very powerful, Iraq was still capable of fighting. But as someone who had experienced it, he knew very well what kind of impact the Gulf War had on the traditional war concepts formed since World War II, and even
It can be said that it was a huge shock.
"Let's not talk about it for now, what do you think about battlefield warfare?" Yang Dongxu knew that it would be useless to say more at this time. Only by letting them see it with their own eyes would they understand how terrifying the new form of electronic warfare is.
