The Patriot missile system began to work urgently. They knew that the target of these things was their base.
At this moment, the early warning aircraft was suddenly even more surprised to find that a new target appeared out of thin air and flew towards its own missile position. At the same time, multiple low-altitude flying objects were discovered near the base. They must be cruise missiles!
The early warning aircraft urgently issued a new warning to the ground. However, at this time, the Patriot air defense missile position could not move its target, because rockets and missiles were all threats, and they had to pick up the ones they were sure of first.
Other anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft artillery were also prepared. However, they were not confident enough in the face of a large number of weapons attacks. In particular, they were left with only a few seconds to react.
Soon, the entire base was buried in a sea of ??fire, including the F-15 and F-16 fighters on the runway that had not had time to take off. They were also destroyed.
Just after the air force base suffered a large number of attacks, before they could recover, the ground attack began.
Of course, it is not the Arab ground troops, but the Kurdish guerrillas waiting here. If they want to complete their separatist activities, they cannot have interference from external forces. This external force is led by the Americans.
Thousands of Kurdish guerrillas rushed over in the darkness. They were not afraid of sacrifice and moved forward bravely.
If they rush in, all the weapons and ammunition in this base will be theirs. Moreover, by capturing the Americans, they can also confront the Western world over their Kurdistan issue and get them to agree to their proposal to establish a country. .
The early warning aircraft had no choice but to land at the Turkish Air Force base in the west. Therefore, the report of the war situation was a bit slow. At the same time, they were also analyzing where those cruise missiles came from.
Finally, the reconnaissance satellite in the sky came to the correct conclusion that those missiles emerged from the sea water!
That means that Iraq has the ability to launch cruise missiles underwater.
While Powell was doubting, he received the latest and accurate report.
"Iraq used stealth attack aircraft and dropped about a hundred satellite-guided bombs. At the same time, they used underwater nuclear submarines to launch about a hundred cruise missiles. At the same time, they launched rocket attacks. In these attacks, Rocket attacks are secondary, and the launch of stealth attack aircraft and cruise missiles is primary," said the Deputy Minister of Defense.
More than a hundred cruise missiles were launched underwater? Powell asked: "When will Iraq be able to launch more than a hundred cruise missiles underwater at the same time?"
"We speculate that Iraq has at least two Oscar-class nuclear submarines. They have changed the anti-ship missile launch tubes on them into platforms for launching cruise missiles. Moreover, it is impossible for Iraq to send out both of them. They will definitely keep one. , in their aircraft carrier formation, that is to say, an Oscar-class nuclear submarine in Iraq can launch more than a hundred cruise missiles, and the range of their cruise missiles is more than a thousand kilometers." Rumsfeld's The tone was a little low.
Even if they have no military knowledge, they all know what this means.
Iraq has a vehicle-mounted intercontinental missile launcher with high mobility, which gives it the ability to launch a secondary nuclear counterattack against the United States. Now, Iraq also has nuclear submarines that can launch more than a hundred cruise missiles at a time. Although they are not ballistic missiles, It is still a powerful deterrent. If such a submarine approaches the coastline of the United States, how many cities can it destroy?
"Where are our troops stationed in Turkey? How is the situation?" Powell asked.
¡°It¡¯s not clear yet, our connection with there has been interrupted.¡±
Contact was interrupted because at this time, the Kurdish guerrillas were cleaning the battlefield. They captured more than a thousand Americans.
"Mr. President, Congress has organized an inquiry. Please participate tomorrow. We must prepare for the worst." said the White House Chief of Staff.
Congress? What are they going to do? Bush was in a bad mood and didn't think of anything.
¡°Worst-case scenario?¡± Powell asked: ¡°Are they going to impeach the president?¡±
"Now, Congress is divided into two factions. One of them believes that we must resolutely launch a nuclear strike on Iraq and completely destroy the strength of the Iraqis. The other faction wants to hold us accountable for our mistakes in this war, especially the successive military The operation failed, and we need someone to take responsibility for it. However, now almost everyone is worried about our economic situation."
Bush frowned. He had been thinking about how to change the current situation, but the current situationIt seems that domestic problems will make him even more sad.
¡¡¡¡
Iraq, Khomeini Port Shipyard.
A giant warship with a large deck is in the largest shipyard in Iraq. The hull has completely separated from the water, and the big holes on the side are shocking.
Anyone who takes one look at it will recognize that this is the giant Nimitz-class aircraft carrier of the United States.
And now, it is like a seriously injured and dying old man, stopping there quietly.
"Everyone, we in Iraq have always treated this dispute very sincerely. Even if the Americans launched an attack on us, using stealth bombers and cruise missiles to bomb our bases, we still did not attack the U.S. mainland. , and, after the naval battle, we rescued thousands of U.S. Navy personnel, who are now being taken care of carefully, and for these damaged U.S. ships, we tried to repair them so that they could be shipped to the appropriate When the time comes, return it to the U.S. Navy.¡±
The deputy commander of the Iraqi Navy told the visitors in front of the slipway that most of them were naval personnel from Europe, and the one with the highest official position was probably the Commander-in-Chief of the French Navy.
They all visited in a private capacity, so it was a miracle that they were able to receive high-level reception from Iraq and at the same time be able to visit this aircraft carrier.
In the final stage of the naval battle, the Americans surrendered. They wanted to salvage thousands of their own personnel who fell into the water. Those were their brothers.
The Iraqi navy participated in the rescue work. They used a variety of equipment, including rescue helicopters, to rescue people who fell into the water. They also salvaged hundreds of bodies of the dead officers and soldiers.
At the same time, they also took control of the surrendered warships of the US Navy. Since they have all surrendered, these things naturally need to be accepted by the victor.
The personnel were placed in the Saudi port of Dhahran in the Persian Gulf. After the post-war agreement was reached, they were sent back to the United States along with the Israeli prisoners. However, Iraq accepted these equipment without ceremony.
At this time, the Washington was already unable to sail on its own. However, in the final stage, the captain safely shut down the nuclear reactor without causing a nuclear leak. Iraq used more than a dozen tugboats and it took five days to tow it back. own shipyard.
¡°Moreover, out of goodwill, Iraq decided to use its own power to help the Americans, repair the aircraft carrier, and then charge a certain maintenance fee to the United States before returning it to the United States.
This goodwill move by Iraq has been unanimously praised by European countries. They are also actively working hard, hoping that both parties can reach satisfactory conditions and finally resolve the dispute through negotiation.
Iraqi technical personnel boarded the aircraft carrier without ceremony. This was the first time they boarded an aircraft carrier in the Western world.
After several years of development, the design of this maritime giant is undoubtedly the most reasonable in the United States. Therefore, it has been hit by nearly twenty missiles from Iraq and has not been sunk yet. It can be said that it has super strong anti-strike capabilities. , a new generation aircraft carrier designed by Iraq itself is under intense preparation. They stepped on it and learned from it.
¡°In various cabins, various equipment, and how much technology Iraq has obtained from this aircraft carrier, I am afraid no one can calculate it.
In addition to this aircraft carrier, the Aegis cruiser has also been thoroughly studied by Iraq.
"General, the combat effectiveness of your navy is too strong. The US dual-carrier battle group was completely destroyed by you within a few hours. However, your two aircraft carriers are still intact. Can you give us Can you tell us about your experience?" the French Navy Commander asked.
Hearing him ask this, everyone pricked up their ears. Indeed, this is also a matter of concern to them. There are many versions of legends from the outside world, but they are always more convincing than those told by the person who experienced it himself.
Hearing this, Karim's eyes showed a strange light, and he said: "Blood and dedication, loyalty to our great motherland, defying power, and defending our own interests as Arabs make us We have the greatest courage. Our Iraqi Navy is still weak, but when we face war, we will never be afraid. We dare to face the most powerful enemy in the world and fight for our rights. At the same time, we We also hope for peace, because we are not afraid of war, but we still love peace. We do not want a strong force to be imposed on us Arabs. We have the ability to handle our own affairs. At the same time, we do not We will not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, and peaceful coexistence is our goal."
Answer?? asked, but Karim's words still aroused a burst of applause. This is a kind of respect for defeating a powerful enemy. From now on, the Iraqi Navy will be respected by the world.
"General, in this war, you used weapons including anti-ship missiles. In the war, the weapons that you keep popping up are the most important, right?" a German asked.
"Weapons cannot remain advanced forever. People are the most important thing," Karim said. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
