    Bush's face was gloomy. He hoped that during his term of office, he could do something spectacular and leave his name in history.  However, it is definitely not what it is now. Although it will have its own significant mark in the history of future generations, it is the most failed president in the history of the United States.

    So many presidents were able to remain calm during the Cold War. But now, the Cold War is over. The United States is the most powerful militarily, but it was defeated by a group of bumpkins from the Middle East. The defeat was so miserable that it was simply worse than Japan in World War II.  The attack on Pearl Harbor was even worse.  At least the U.S. aircraft carrier was not damaged at that time.

    Now, although the United States' military strength is strong, it only has ten aircraft carrier battle groups. Two of them were wiped out at once. This not only means that they have lost one-fifth of their navy, but also represents their self-confidence.  , also suffered a heavy blow.

    “Iraq has become so powerful without even realizing it, and it was all caused by Clinton’s tenure.  At that time, Clinton was so idiotic that he wanted to maintain good relations with Arab countries. Didn't he know that the US policy was a combination of carrot and stick?

    "Now, our two aircraft carrier formations in the Mediterranean have retreated five hundred nautical miles." Defense Secretary Rumsfeld said.

    After being completely wiped out here, the formations on the Mediterranean immediately retreated in a timely manner. They could not repeat the same mistakes again.  They were very lucky to find that just after they retreated, the Iraqi air force in Syria and Libya had begun to take off Tu-22m bombers and cruise in the Eastern Mediterranean. If they had run slower, they might have suffered  It's time to strike, and if there is another strike, the price will be something the United States will never bear.

    "We need to completely eliminate the Iraqi navy and the Iraqi army," Bush said.

    Cheney shook his head: "If we want to encircle and annihilate the Iraqi formation, we will need at least four aircraft carrier battle groups, and we will also have to withstand the possibility of sinking two more aircraft carriers. We need to mobilize our European Air Force and organize a historic  Largest air operation ever."

    Iraq’s attack power was so powerful that it actually used 200 supersonic anti-ship missiles. This was simply the standard tactic of the Soviet Navy in this battle.  I am afraid that this is a turning point in the world's naval history, which will greatly promote the popularity of supersonic anti-ship missiles, and the deterrent power of US aircraft carriers will be greatly reduced in the future.

    This military action caused direct losses to the United States.  There are 55 billion US dollars, including those expensive B-2 bombers, including the formation of two aircraft carriers, and the indirect losses cannot be calculated. I am afraid, there will be hundreds of billions of dollars.

    "We can't go on like this. Otherwise, we may not be able to deal with other threats." CIA Director George said: "We have discovered that there are abnormal military movements in the Taiwan Strait area, and the People's Liberation Army ships, including the North Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet, are  There are signs of massing towards the center, and they have also requisitioned a large number of civilian ships, and we also discovered that their missile units had left their base two days ago. There is no trace."

    Bush was shocked: "In other words, the Chinese are taking advantage of our current inability to take care of the situation in the Western Pacific and want to completely solve the Taiwan issue at this time?"

    Out of American interests, the United States must contain the rise of the emerging China. In this process, the Taiwan issue has always been a card for them. The United States has always spared no effort to support Taiwan. However, the current situation is that if it leaves  The United States and Taiwan will simply not continue to maintain their current situation. In less than two days, the People's Liberation Army will defeat them, and the five-star red flag will be planted in big cities such as Taipei and Kaohsiung.

    If China solves the Taiwan issue, then the United States will certainly not be able to prevent China from breaking through the first island chain, and the entire Western Pacific will become their scope of activity.

    "Not only that, the Kurds in Turkey have also begun to mobilize frequently recently. They have advanced weapons in their hands, including rocket launchers, and heavy weapons such as tanks. The Turkish government forces have been slow to respond. I am afraid that the Kurds  People's separatist activities will become more and more rampant, and our military base there may not be safe."

    Being surrounded on all sides, Bush asked: "Where are our NATO allies? How are they reacting now? Are they still indifferent?"

    In previous wars, including the last Yugoslavia, the United States took the lead and bypassed the United Nations. NATO countries also responded one after another, sending fighter planes and participating in air strikes.  And this time, so far, they have not made any statement, they have not sent troops, they have not sent fighter planes, and they have not even provided some war funding to the United States.

    Secretary of State Powell said: "Among European countries, only the United Kingdom has strongly condemned the recent series of actions in Iraq. France, Germany, Italy and other countries are all conducting discussions, analyze the protection and attack of aircraft carrier formations in modern warfare, and analyze the huge advantages of supersonic anti-ship missiles.  "

    "What?" Bush said angrily: "These Europeans!"

    Britain is a quasi-ally of the United States, and this time it only condemned it. France is not a NATO country and always goes against itself. This is normal. However, other countries did not even condemn it. They just regarded their failure as  Make a war example to study?

    "They have other plans. In Paris, France, the EU people and the Arabs are fighting fiercely." Powell said.

    When Britain became an empire on which the sun never sets, and when European countries were fighting fierce wars for their colonies, America was still an unexplored new continent. The history of the founding of the United States was only a few hundred years. Therefore, in the eyes of Europeans,  In fact, they look down on the United States.

    It’s just that after World War II, the United States was the only place that was not burned by the flames of war. The scientific and technological elites and capital and financial resources of various countries were transferred to the United States. Therefore, the United States suddenly became a superpower, and no other European country could compare with it.  At that time, faced with the real threat of the Soviet Union, whose ideology was completely different from theirs, they could only let the United States do it. But in fact, in their hearts, they always had a dream of a greater Europe, and they should be the center of the world.  strong desire.

    The swords of the past could not unify Europe, and those great emperors who showed off their might could not do it.  But the current trend is that they are slowly moving towards unity in peace.  They already share a common currency, the euro, making them more closely linked to each other.  Now, peace and development have become the mainstream of the world, and the smoke of war has gradually faded away. Individual European countries can no longer compete with the United States. They can only connect with each other and become a unified whole. This is what European countries have achieved.  Consensus, let their overall economy become the first in the world!

    The road is bumpy. They have taken the first step. They have unified the currency, and more importantly, they have made their euro a world currency, which should be widely circulated not only in Europe, but also in the world.

    Now, this wish is about to come true.  The euro will replace the U.S. dollar and be used to settle oil. The benefits of this are that even people without economic knowledge can see its huge economic value. The euro will no longer be limited to the euro zone, but will be used throughout the world.  It took root and sprouted.

    Of course, it is impossible to use the euro for all. The Arabs only allow the use of the euro to settle oil. The Arab dollar will also be another currency to settle oil. However, this does not affect them. They cannot emphasize that the euro will completely replace the dollar. The Arabs  Not stupid either.  This change is enough for them. For example, at least now, they no longer have to export their own products to the United States, exchange them for U.S. dollars, and then hand them over to Arab countries to obtain oil.  This is equivalent to Americans just needing to turn on the money printing press to get what they want.

    They can now directly use the euros in their hands to exchange for oil. At the same time, Arabs will also directly use euros to buy things in Europe. The United States has since been abandoned by them.

    What is the most important thing between countries?  That's the benefit!

    The military strength of the United States is still strong. Seeing that the US dollar is going to be turned into waste paper, it would be strange if the Americans don't go crazy. They will definitely use their own force to destroy these agreements. The Europeans consciously stand aside.  Just watch the Americans and Arabs fight to death. At this time, the Americans want to unite with them to fight against the Arab countries. Is Bush out of his mind?  This is like Europeans taking a knife to cut their own vaginas, which they absolutely refuse to do.

    They are even wondering whether they need to secretly provide some help to Arab countries.  For example, in the international community, do not make remarks that are unfavorable to Arabs.

    As long as the Arabs win, the structure of the world will definitely change. The rise of Europe and the decline of the United States are inevitable. It is worthwhile for Europeans to fight for their own interests.

    Bush has a feeling of betrayal and alienation. Moreover, the current situation seems that conventional weapons may lose their effectiveness.

    "It looks like we have only one other option left," Bush said calmly: "We need to use our nuclear weapons."

    Hearing this, Powell was shocked: "President, we have had several experiences before. Qusay is a hardliner and will never be afraid of our nuclear deterrence."

    "I didn't say nuclear deterrence." Bush said: "Now, we in the United States have reached the most dangerous time. In order to maintain the existing international order, attack Arab countries that attempt to challenge us, and re-establish the prestige of the United States,  we need to useOur nuclear weapons let them know that it is very wrong to ignore the strength of our United States.  "
