Text 392 Iraq¡¯s response

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Multinational forces are constantly adding troops to the Gulf region. It is impossible to say that there is no pressure on Saddam. He can feel that so many countries have placed hundreds of thousands of troops at the doorstep of Iraq, and it is definitely not to help defend the Gulf.  If other countries are so simple, Iraq will definitely launch an offensive in the end to liberate Kuwait. Even if the war goes smoothly, they may fight all the way to Baghdad and overthrow his rule.

    It is not Saddam¡¯s character to sit still and wait for death. In order to deal with this crisis, Saddam summoned his confidants and began to discuss countermeasures.

    General Ahmed proposed: "Multinational forces are constantly arriving in the Middle East. Soon there will be nearly one million coalition forces in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Turkey. If we really gain a foothold for them, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to win."

    Saddam was very dissatisfied with this kind of pessimism before the war started. He frowned and said: "We have mobilized more than one million troops. If necessary, all Iraqi men can become soldiers. The Americans want  It is impossible to shake our determination for jihad.¡±

    Ahmed knew that he had offended Saddam, so he could only say tactfully: "You are right, Mr. President, our Iraqi soldiers have won every battle. But we can choose a simpler way and lose fewer Iraqis."  Blood is better. Our troops have almost completed their assembly. As long as they invade Saudi Arabia by surprise, they can destroy the defense lines that have not been fully constructed by the multinational forces and seize the initiative in the entire war, thus allowing the multinational forces to operate in the Gulf.  There is no place to stay.¡±

    After all, Ahmed is a soldier, and he sees this very clearly. The US military and other countries' troops are afraid that the Iraqis will launch a sudden attack when the Allied forces are not yet stable, which will affect the delivery of follow-up troops and the  The confidence of Arab countries has been a relatively big blow.  If some Arab countries succumb to Iraq and withdraw from the coalition, it will be a huge blow to the overall morale of the multinational forces.

    It¡¯s just that Saddam was still very hesitant at this time. In fact, he knew in his heart that the Iraqi army should fight against the coalition forces of so many countries, and there were also powerful troops from the United States, China and Europe. Although he was conceited and arrogant, he did not  To the point of stupidity.  Once they take the initiative to launch an attack, the multinational forces will have no way out, and both sides will have to fight to the death.  Part of Saddam's heart was still hoping that the US military would just deploy troops to defend and then leave after the storm.

    The source of his judgment is mainly based on the various reactions of the United States. In public, the United States rarely directly condemns Iraq, nor does it say much about launching a real offensive, nor does it even mention much about helping Kuwait regain its country.  This gave Saddam the illusion that the Americans did not want to fight him to the death.

    This idea is undoubtedly ridiculous. If you look at the overall situation, you will definitely not think so. It can be clearly seen that this is a tactic used by the United States to sneak out of Chen Cang. However, Saddam was obsessed with the authorities and was hesitant. He missed the opportunity to embarrass the multinational forces.

    Ahmed's suggestion was not adopted. Then Saddam's cousin, Majid, known as "Chemical Ali" also spoke, "General Ahmed's idea of ??preemptive strike is a good one, but it may be difficult to operate."  It's huge. In fact, we don't have anything else to rely on. Those countries have nuclear weapons, and we also have biological and chemical weapons. As long as those bastards act rashly, we will use biological and chemical weapons to let them know that Iraq is not someone to be trifled with."

    Defense Minister Abbas objected: "Once chemical weapons are used, we will definitely face stronger retaliation from the other side, and even the United States, China, Britain and France will use nuclear weapons to retaliate against us. Do you want Iraq to be wiped off the face of the earth?"  "

    Saddam waved his hand and said: "Similar to nuclear weapons, our biological and chemical weapons are the last line of defense and our trump card. As unconventional weapons, there is a certain reason. Biological and chemical weapons cannot be used until the critical moment."

    Majid was still unwilling to accept it, and he added: "I can get another batch of chemical weapons from some special channels, and there are also new varieties with particularly strong lethality. If they can be used in war, they will definitely be able to do so."  Heartbroken."

    Saddam shook his hand in displeasure and said: "I have said before, chemical weapons cannot be used until critical moments. It has nothing to do with the species."

    Majid could only feel resentful. His channel was the Mystic Palace of the Soviet Union. Agents from the Mystic Palace contacted Chemical Ali and said that they could provide a large amount of chemical weapons for a fee and even on credit. Majid also heard that they had a particularly magical chemical.  Weapons can very well disintegrate the enemy's combat effectiveness, which makes him, a madman who loves to use chemical weapons and watch people being poisoned to death, feel very itchy.

    The Minister of the Interior came up with a bad idea at this time. He said: "We must respond to the multinational forces. We must not let them get too comfortable. Once they find that we do not respond much, they will mistakenly think that we are weak and can be bullied. I suggest  , we can recruit some warriors, sneak into Saudi Arabia, and use various necessary methods to attack our opponents.??¡±

    Saddam was stunned and asked: "You mean terrorists?"

    The Minister of the Interior corrected him noblely: "They should be special warriors."

    Although he said this, everyone understood that he meant to send terrorists into Saudi Arabia to cause destruction.  This is definitely a bad idea. Few countries are willing to lower themselves and associate with terrorists, because countries that support terrorists will be looked down upon and cannot be trusted by the people.  But in fact, many countries have done such things for various purposes, including the United States.  Al Qaeda is now supported by the United States.

    But such a bad idea actually made Saddam adopt it. Saddam nodded and said: "Yes, make the enemy exhausted and trembling, so that even if we enter a real war, we will have the advantage.  I'll leave this matter to you. Not only Saudi Arabia, but any shameful country near us that wants to support those 'aggressors' will be retaliated against."

    Ahmed couldn't help sighing when he saw that such an idea had been passed. However, he was still an Iraqi after all, and he also wanted to give advice to Saddam. He added: "There are dozens of countries' military forces, languages ??and languages ??in the multinational force.  They have different communication skills, different cultures, and differences in strength. If we can make good use of this to create conflicts between them, causing them to engage in internal strife or even a conflagration, that would be great. Being able to take down an army would be a huge blow to us.  Our chances of winning are even better.¡±

    In essence, this suggestion still uses special means, but it is much more purposeful and effective than simply using terrorist attacks. Saddam also saw the significance, nodded and said: "Yes, this is also very good, then  General, please coordinate with the people in the intelligence agency and send some skilled personnel to see if you can make a difference in this area."

    "Yes, Your Excellency, President"

    While the Iraqi side is racking its brains to deal with the multinational forces, the multinational forces are also preparing to teach the Iraqis a lessonØ­

    After proper coordination, China and the United States have unified the mission model of the strategic bomber force.  The United States has deployed six B6 strategic bombers at the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean, while China itself has a bomber unit stationed in Xinjiang, including B H-Thor strategic bombers and H-6K Ares bombers.  The two bombers will take off from Kashgar Airport in Xinjiang, then pass through Pakistani airspace and enter the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf to engage in bombing missions.  This is also one of the few assets used by the Chinese military in this operation, except for the Gwadar base.

    The H-Thor bomber is basically the same level as the B6, but its bomb load is smaller than the B6, and it is actually enlarged from the H-6K, so the body design is also older.  However, because it is designed and manufactured at the base, the internal avionics system is much more advanced than the B6 bomber, which was born more than 30 years ago.  More importantly, the Thor bomber has stronger precision strike and standoff strike capabilities.

    In order to familiarize themselves with routes and operations in advance, the pLA Air Force bomber squadron took the lead in starting actual combat training.  They will fly the bombers over the Gulf on a real route, conduct simulated bomb drops, and then fly back to Kashgar.  Whether it is Thor or Ares, its combat radius is enough to take off from Xinjiang and then drop bombs over the Persian Gulf before returning.  The H-6K is a little more cramped, but if the Long Sword cruise missile is used, the situation will be more comfortable.  Using guided bombs may require hit and run, and you cannot conduct more patrols in the theater.

    Of course, the Chinese Air Force cannot just expect its bombers to carry out bombing missions using only the fuel in their stomachs.  There are also airport facilities, oil depots and the like at the Gwadar base. The Air Force has dispatched two squadrons of oil transport aircraft to Gwadar. If any military aircraft needs it, aviation fuel can be replenished here.  Tankers are even open to refueling friendly aircraft, but unless they come here to refuel on purpose, the densely packed facilities in the Gulf cannot use tankers from Gwadar.

    The two B14CN shore-based aviation regiments of the Naval Aviation also successfully arrived in Gwadar. Although Gwadar is still some distance from the war zone, the B14's large combat radius and tankers can also ensure smooth operations.  The Air Force has sent its fighter jets closer. Nine fighter jets from an aviation regiment are heading to Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, which will be responsible for both air control and ground attack missions.

    In addition, the pLA Air Force has also deployed 2 Xianglong and Pterosaur drones in Saudi Arabia, mainly used for reconnaissance of enemy situations and launching surprise attacks.
