On April 4, 2002, except for sporadic gunfire, the large-scale fighting gradually subsided. In this street battle, Iraq adopted the same approach as last time. As long as there was resistance, it immediately called out Fighter planes dropped precision-guided bombs, completely turning the place into ruins. ¡¾High quality update.¡¿
Having cleared the enemy, they moved on.
This is completely different from the previous wars. At the beginning, Iraq and Iran fought in the street fighting in Khorramshahr. Both sides suffered tens of thousands of casualties. As a result, although Iraq surrounded Abadan, it did not dare to launch any more terrible street fighting. .
And now, wherever there is resistance, we will level it!
You couldn¡¯t do this at the beginning, because in the street fighting, the enemy and ourselves were mixed together, and the planes in the sky could not drop ammunition accurately at all, and it was easy to throw it on their brothers.
It¡¯s different now. They only need to send the target¡¯s position to the fighter plane.
However, despite occupying the entire Israel, the war has not ended, rather, it has just begun.
Because behind Israel is the United States.
"Iraq acted too quickly. It will take time for the United States to build up its troops. However, the United States has already dealt a heavy blow in all aspects, including military, political and economic.
The United States announced that it has frozen all Arab funds in the United States. This countermeasure will cause Arab countries to lose tens of billions of dollars.
However, when they made this choice, they had already anticipated this result, so they immediately came up with their own countermeasures.
Now the just war they are fighting has suffered serious interference from foreign forces. The Middle Easterners should resolve their own affairs!
As a once friendly country, it has now made such moves that hurt Arabs. They couldn't accept it, so they decided to sell off their country's U.S. dollar reserves and U.S. Treasury bonds, and at the same time, start buying euros in the international market!
In other words, they will use euros instead of dollars!
As soon as this news was released, countries in the Eurozone were filled with joy.
There are a large number of Jews in the United States, and they are so powerful that they are somewhat perverted. It can even influence the president's decision-making. However, for Europe, the influence of Jews is not that great.
? If the euro can replace the dollar. If it becomes the currency in circulation in the world, then the complete revival of Europe is definitely not a dream!
For Arab countries, they are increasing their holdings of euros instead of dollars. This is simply good news.
The United States will never allow any country to challenge the hegemony of the US dollar, not even Europe. They are sparing no effort to attack the Eurozone economy, and the economic battle between the two sides is also very fierce.
Europeans also have their dreams. Who doesn¡¯t want to become a significant power in the world? Why should Europe unite? Don¡¯t we need to unite to have enough power to change the leading role of the United States?
Then, another piece of good news arrived. OPEC has decided that from now on, it will no longer use US dollars to settle oil, and will completely use euros and Argentine dollars to do so.
When the news came out, it was like a bolt from the blue. Although the United States now has no fiscal deficit. However, the U.S. economy is strong. It is based on the dominance of the US dollar. How many more US dollars has the United States printed now? If the U.S. dollar loses its hegemonic status, and all countries use their own currencies to exchange goods with Americans, then it won¡¯t be long before the U.S. dollar becomes a piece of paper that is too hard to wipe your butt.
If OPEC didn¡¯t know what currency to use before, now that the euro has been fully activated, using the euro will not surprisingly be welcomed by the euro area countries. Although their ultimate goal is to use the Argentine dollar for settlement, at this time, wooing the Eurozone countries is equivalent to cutting off two arms of the Americans.
What is the most important thing about a country¡¯s foreign policy? Definitely not to advocate for justice, but to protect the economy of one's own country!
Only economic development is the last word. And this time, Arab countries are serious about it.
This is different from when the Americans bombed Yugoslavia, when the Americans responded to everything. Secretary of State Powell personally went to Europe to lobby. However, except for the United Kingdom, which made it clear that it would send troops together with the United States, the attitudes of other countries were very ambiguous.
Germany has symbolically decided to provide one million euros to provide some military support to the United States. What is this one million euros enough for? It's just enough for the price of a Tomahawk missile.
Contact with Europe was not smooth, ???The United Nations, such an obvious thing cannot be passed?
The last time it bombed Yugoslavia, the United States did not get authorization from the United Nations, but they still went their own way. The United States is now pursuing unilateralism. If the United Nations agrees, it will have the United Nations' signature to do things. If the United Nations does not agree, it will do its own thing. What should I do?
However, the treatment they received at the United Nations this time still made them feel the urge to eat shit. Most of the countries in the third world voted against it, so why should they take action against the Middle East? That's their own business.
It was originally an invasion, but in the end, it was said to be the Middle East¡¯s own affairs? If the United Nations can't even control this, what else can they control?
¡°At the Security Council, China once again disappointed the United States by voting against it. Vetoed the U.S. proposal to use force against the Arabs.
What does China want to do? With this negative vote, the United States will not be authorized in the United Nations Security Council.
However, Americans will not admit defeat like this. Even if they work alone, they can complete this combat mission!
They airlifted several ace units such as the 101st Air Assault Division to Turkey. Since there are no bases in the Middle East, this is the closest base they can find.
On April 12, the aircraft carrier formation finally arrived at its scheduled position.
Since the Arabs are disobedient, use your fists to let them know who is the real boss!
The U.S. treasury is abundant and Congress fully agrees. This is the time for George W. Bush to make a big move.
The U.S. military has made rapid progress in recent years, especially against Yugoslavia. It only used air strikes and non-contact strikes to make them admit their mistakes. The U.S. used its air force to beat the Arabs into admitting defeat!
Whiteman Air Force Base, Johnson County, Missouri, United States.
Brigadier General Thomas Gosling, the commander of the 509th Bomb Wing, is in high spirits. Today is the first time since the formation of their wing that they will all be dispatched. They will go out to carry out an important military operation.
They are all equipped with strategic bombers.
Bombers move very slowly, so when the enemy's air defense system is perfect, flying over it is already an act of seeking death. Only with absolute air superiority can bombers use the large number of bombs they carry to carry out enough attacks. When the United States bombed Yugoslavia, it still used B-52s. The amount of bombs it could carry at one time was equivalent to more than ten times that of ordinary fighters.
The bombers equipped by the 509th Wing are not the old and powerful B-52 bombers. They use the latest B-2 bombers.
The B-2 bomber is a type of aircraft that is much more secretive than the F117. Both are powerful weapons that can tear apart the other party's air defense system. However, the difference is that the F117 can only carry two laser-guided bombs. Just throw it away, so the F117 can only be called an attack aircraft, while the B-2 can carry 16 joint attack munitions at a time. In this way, it can completely carry out a saturation attack. It can drop all 16 munitions at one time. Go down and attack sixteen targets.
For the United States, if non-stealthy combat aircraft are used to perform the mission completed by two B-2 bombers, 32 F-16 fighter jets and 16 F-15 escorts will be needed to suppress the opponent. ef-1c-135 tanker of the air defense system.
Therefore, b-2 is already their most cost-effective weapon system. Because of b-2's excellent stealth performance, they can go alone without the accompanying nannies. If the cost is not too high, the United States People really want to equip a lot of equipment, but unfortunately, including the development cost of a fighter aircraft, which costs 2.2 billion U.S. dollars, and the 132 hours of maintenance for every flying hour, they have to consider the dollars in their pockets. .
In the end, only 21 B-2s were equipped, and now, almost all of them are dispatched.
From the temperature-controlled hangar, one ghost after another was slowly pulled out. The crew was very careful. The skin of the B-2 was very delicate and must not be bruised.
This kind of aircraft, from the outside, simply does not look like a guy that can fly. The wings and body are fused, making it impossible to tell which is the fuselage and which is the wing. There is no vertical tail at the tail. This is a flying wing structure. shape, the leading edge of the wing meets the nose, and the trailing edge of the wing is zigzag-shaped. The engine nozzles are placed above the wings.
Pilots are very relaxed. For them, flying this kind of fighter plane to fight is no different from going on a trip.
For such a large aircraft, the b-52 requires five crew members, the b1-b requires four, and the b-2 only requires two. Most of the tasks have been shared by electronic equipment.
¡°Our mission this time is to punish the Arabs for destroying peace in the Middle East, occupied the entire area of ??Israel, Qusay, is the dictatorial ruler there, we want to overthrow his rule! Bring freedom and democracy to the Middle East! Thomas said to the assembled pilots on the runway before takeoff.
