The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Saudi Arabia, capital Riyadh.

Joint Forces Headquarters.

A joint command meeting is being held this time. This meeting is the first joint command meeting held after all the troops of 39 countries have arrived.

Schwarzkopf read out the joint resolution of the allies, requiring Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait before a specific date, otherwise military measures will be taken.

"According to Security Council Resolution 678, the deadline for Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait is set as that day, and it is authorized to "implement Resolution 660 by all necessary means!" Schwarzkopf said in a deep voice.

There is only one month left.

It has been half a year since Iraq launched the war of invasion of Kuwait.

During this half year, countries naturally not only deployed troops and mobilized troops to the Gulf region, but also used various diplomatic and economic means to complete the isolation, blockade and attack on Iraq.

"Next, let's start discussing the 'Desert Storm' plan." Schwarzkopf said: "There is only one month left before the deadline, and we must come up with a final combat plan."

Before this, the United States came up with a proposed 'Desert Storm' combat plan, but it was strongly opposed by the Arab coalition. The two sides had great differences and even questioned whether the United States was using the Arab coalition as cannon fodder.

There were always constant quarrels in several meetings, and the final combat plan was never reached.

The United States was very annoyed about this. Before this, Americans believed that the US military came to the Gulf as a savior to help Saudi Arabia resist the invasion of the evil Iraq and to help Kuwait drive out the Iraqis so that Kuwait could restore its country.

But the US military is not welcome in the Middle East.

It constantly reminds people of the disgraceful role played by the United States in several Middle East wars.

Not to mention that the fifth Middle East war is less than ten years away from now.

The Arabs in the Middle East have not forgotten it.

Everyone is very dissatisfied with Saddam, who is wantonly expanding like a madman, and is very wary of the powerful Iraqis, but the Arab countries hate Israel.

At the beginning of this time, the United States wanted to pull Israel to join the coalition, but it was strongly opposed by Arab countries, and even Israel's donation was rejected.

According to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other local tycoons, there is no shortage of donations from Israel.

If that were the case, the Arab coalition would be able to drive Iraq out of Kuwait and help Kuwait restore its country without the United States and other troops.

Faced with strong opposition from Arab countries, the United States had no choice but to give up.

But now there is only one month left before the deadline, and the United States must promote the formation of the final plan for "Desert Storm".

If the final plan for "Desert Storm" is not determined, how to fight! ?

You know, the daily food, drink, defecation and urination of so many people is an astronomical figure.

If it is delayed for one more day, military expenses will increase, and perhaps in the end, not only will it not make money but it will lose money. Then he will definitely retire and don't want to continue to mix in the army.

Although he doesn't look down on the Arab coalition, the Arab coalition has a number of 880,000 people, and its weapons and equipment are not bad. It is also a local snake, so he has to consider the Arab coalition more.

A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake!

"We just ask that we invade Kuwait, and you threaten Iraq from the west." Saudi Arabia's commander Khalid put forward the Arab coalition's request.

Saudi Arabia and Iraq have no good feelings towards the United States.

Americans want to be the savior of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and even the savior of the entire Arab country.

In this regard, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and others are completely uncooperative.

When they promote, they promote Saddam's abominations, the bravery of the Kuwaiti army, the unity of the Arab world and the strength of the Arab coalition.

In the Arab world, this kind of propaganda naturally works.

However, in other places, the Americans' propaganda ability is much stronger. The United States mainly promotes the strength of the US military, the justice of the US military, and the US allies follow the US lead, as if the United States has completely controlled the entire Arab world.

The strength of the United States is transmitted to all parts of the world through live TV broadcasts.

Even in the Soviet Union, the strength of the United States can be seen.

The US military is armed to the teeth, with more than 200 warships, a large number of advanced aircraft, and strong logistical transportation capabilities.

Those supply ships and merchant ships provide strong logistical support for the entire coalition.

US soldiers eat turkey and drink Coke.

All ships have to line up to unload, which is completely beyond the port's transportation capacity.

This time, the coalition forces mainly rely on sea transportation, supplemented by air transportation.

US transport planes continuously carry out troop and material delivery, demonstrating a strong air force.

The term "big air force" has spread all over the world during this period.

There are only two countries in the world that have big air forces, one is the United States and the other is the Soviet Union.

The air forces of other countries cannot be called big air forces.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Schwarzkopf said without hesitation.

What a joke!

If the Arab coalition forces recapture Kuwait, what about the US military and other allies?

Watch the joke from the sidelines?

Directly attacking the Iraqi mainland is completely unrelated to the US military's own propaganda of helping Kuwait to restore its country.

After these months of propaganda, Kuwait has long been the focus.

According to the latest situation, Iraq has strengthened its troop deployment in Kuwait, deploying 42 divisions and 540,000 people along three lines of defense, with 5,600 tanks, 7,500 armored vehicles, 3,800 artillery pieces, and 770 combat aircraft.

It can be said that Iraq has concentrated nearly half of its troops in Kuwait, and they are all elite.

This is a big piece of fat meat!

And this big piece of fat meat has long been targeted by the US military.

Now the Arab coalition wants to eat this big piece of fat meat, how could Schwarzkopf agree?

If he agrees, he may be relieved of his post the next day.

Other countries' troops look like they are watching the fun, and they don't care about it. After all, they are here to help the United States, and at the same time to show off in the world. They are destined not to be the main force.

All of a sudden, Schwarzkopf was caught in the spitting of various commanders of Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and their saliva was about to drown Schwarzkopf.

Why not agree?

Sure enough, the Americans have bad intentions.

Schwarzkopf was no match for four people, and his face was very ugly. He was almost speechless, but he refused to agree.

He really couldn't agree to this because it was against the interests of the United States.

The United States must fight beautifully in this battle, which is for the image of the US military, to rebuild the confidence of the army, and to let the army get out of confusion and know how to fight.

The coalition forces have advantages in manpower, weapons and equipment, and military literacy.

It can be said that it is difficult to lose this battle.

If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you will have such a rare opportunity next time.
