Therefore, the United States must return this blow, and it must return it harshly, so as to deter those who are sneaky and want to threaten the United States, and to silence those who gloat about its misfortune. In this case, no matter whether the target erected is guilty or not, or whether it has real contact with Al Qaeda, as long as the United States accuses them of being an accessory, they will only be beaten on the ground.
¡°It¡¯s just that Bush, who has a limited IQ, thinks and handles problems in a way that is too simple. The Afghanistan he picked is really not very feasible and is opposed by almost all members of the cabinet. However, Rumsfeld's plan to send troops to Iraq again was approved by many people.
George W. Bush's current Republican cabinet, from the president and vice president to the secretary of state and the secretary of defense, are basically well-known hawks. They are also representatives of the interests of the domestic military-industrial complex and the oil consortium. The decisions they make are inevitable. It is highly aggressive and beneficial to the group of people behind them.
In addition to producing expensive wool and other small amounts of minerals, Afghanistan is a landlocked country that has little benefit to the American capital industry. The Middle East, which has been entangled in the American oil circle for many years, is obviously more worthy of the United States' efforts to cultivate and pioneer. Just a few days ago, the Chinese supported the Shiites in raising the flag of independence in the southern zone. The Shia Arabs established the Republic of Babylon in the original southern zone. The name of the country was intended to revive the glory of thousands of years ago. ancient civilization.
Furthermore, Babylon obviously will not allow the Iraqi regime to continue to exist. The Babylonian army entered the central Sunni areas, began to attack the power of the Iraqi central government, and intended to capture Baghdad. It would have been impossible for Babylon to make such a move without the instruction of its Chinese masters. Obviously, there is also a group of hawks in China similar to George W. Bush. They are also not afraid of starting a war with the United States and are actively expanding China's interests around the world.
Supporting Babylon to eliminate Iraq has several benefits for China, including directly alleviating the dangers faced by Babylon in the north; strengthening the power of its most reliable ally in the Middle East; reducing some of the military pressure on Kurdistan, which has gradually turned to China; and more importantly , to combat and compress U.S. power in the Middle East. Moreover, many analysts and commentators believe that the reason why China so bitterly encourages Babylon to destroy Iraq is that it secretly wants to teach the United States a lesson and retaliate against the United States for closing its domestic market and unfairly treating Chinese companies and Chinese products.
The dividends of the United States' second deployment of troops to Iraq are also very clear. Rumsfeld analyzed it for them in front of everyone: the chaos in Iraq has indeed spawned many terrorists, and it is indeed an important stronghold for al-Qaida. Attacking al-Qaida The organization can be regarded as giving an explanation to the American people and letting out a bad breath; by the way, the Americans can help Iraq eliminate Babylon. If it is possible to recapture Iraq's rich lower reaches of Mesopotamia, they can once again control the rich oil resources in southern Iraq. , for the benefit of American oil giants.
By taking advantage of the reason for sending troops to Iraq this time, the US military can openly strengthen the strength of the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. The United States reorganized the Fifth Fleet after 1995. As an important force to protect the country in the Middle East and the Arabian Sea, the fleet is also considered to have a large lineup. However, compared with China's Indian Ocean First Squadron deployed in Gwadar, it is still somewhat smaller. thin. China regularly deploys an aircraft carrier and two amphibious assault ships in Gwadar, and the number of main battleships exceeds 20. Not only that, China also has a powerful air force in the Middle East that can support the navy.
The biggest problem of the Fifth Fleet is that its main bases and facilities are in the Persian Gulf, but China¡¯s overseas bases are outside the Persian Gulf, and it can blockade the Americans if necessary. Moreover, in this sea area, the Chinese have a large number of military facilities, but the US military lacks so many ports and airports to balance the resistance to China's military power.
In the one-day war in Kosovo two years ago, a total of six aircraft carriers from China and the United States faced off in the Adriatic Sea. The situation was unprecedented. If the US military really wanted to "strike al-Qaeda elements in Iraq," it would have to send at least several more aircraft carriers. Aircraft carriers, and China will definitely not be outdone. When the time comes, there will be another scene of aircraft carriers confronting aircraft carriers.
After the plan was finalized, the U.S. war machine began to rumble. While George W. Bush announced that criminals would pay the price, he prepared weapons for large armies of war. The target was obviously not ordinary terrorists, but regular troops.
China has also recently proposed to the United States that international cooperation in anti-terrorism should be strengthened to use the resources and power of more countries to fight against terrorists and terrorist organizations that pose a huge threat. However, the United States responded coldly to it. The White House spokesperson even said arrogantly that the United States cannot share important intelligence with countries it does not trust. The United States¡¯ international anti-terrorism cooperation will mainly focus on the United States.?¡¯s European and NATO allies.
The Bush administration also proposed the concept of a "war on terror" at this time. Bush's popularity also increased with the tide. Americans who were ignited by anger now supported launching a war to eliminate those who had caused great harm to them. Terrorist of pain and painful memories. It¡¯s just that ordinary people don¡¯t think about the deeper meaning of Americans sending troops. Counter-terrorism has not been the main concern of Americans from the beginning. The damage that terrorists can cause to the United States is limited, but their main competitor and enemy, China, can directly bring the United States down and reduce it to a second-rate country¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
Qi Yiming touched his chin, which was not prickly, and whispered: "It seems that history is still changing. The United States did not choose Afghanistan, but chose Iraq" No matter how strong the inertia of history is, it cannot break this logic. Obviously any general with a brain would not agree to attack Afghanistan for the purpose of counter-terrorism, because the US military lacks the conditions for comparative advantage.
Looking back at Iraq, it has great pragmatic value. Today, the United States does not have the technology to break through shale gas, so most of its oil depends on imports from abroad, and the Middle East is its very important source of oil. But with China's penetration into the Middle East in recent years, Chinese companies have begun to control a large number of oil fields with their own capabilities. At the same time, the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet also controls the entire shipping route, making Americans even more uneasy.
¡° Controlling the Middle East, controlling oil, and controlling oil transportation, the strategic chain of the United States is very clear, and that¡¯s it. In addition to setting foot on Iraqi soil again this time, the United States has also begun to obtain fulcrums from Oman, Yemen, Socotra Island and other places to offset the blockade force of China¡¯s First Indian Ocean Squadron in Gwadar.
Ye Yaozi, a senior cadre of the Strategic Bureau, sighed: "Obviously, George W. Bush is the kind of person who is reckless and only knows how to respond to violence with violence, and his administration is full of this kind of aggression and assertion. It seems that our war against the United States has entered the countdown to the outbreak. "
Qi Yiming seemed to smile relaxedly and said: "We have been waiting for this day for a long time, haven't we? We have imagined many possibilities for war to break out before, and this one is among them. Everything should be done according to the plan. . When the American fleet arrives, we will let them into the Persian Gulf, and then our fleet will block them in the Gulf from the Strait of Hormuz. If the Americans are willing to fight, we will accompany them to the end!"
Ye Yaozi added: "We are fighting the United States. Those countries in the Middle East that have always been on the fence may not easily choose either side. They may even ask us and the United States to withdraw their troops from their soil, so that they can maintain their Neutral, you will not be attacked by big powers."
Qi Yiming opened the electronic map, looked at it, and then said: "The Navy will definitely send more of our warships to the Indian Ocean before the United States takes action. In the early stages, many of our high-tech weapons should not be exposed immediately. When the war is full-scale, When the US aircraft carrier battle group is about to enter the Persian Gulf, it will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. In addition, we need to use the red police force to strengthen Babylon. Since we are letting the US aircraft carrier battle group enter the Persian Gulf, Babylon's defense capabilities will obviously be challenged. "We need at least 20 sets of Hongqi-9 air defense systems to provide intensive air defense protection for the entire territory of Babylon." That is to say, while the United States is preparing to regain its glory in Iraq, Qi Yiming is waiting to fight with the Americans. When China fought a good fight in the Middle East and triggered a real world war, no one expected that China's first shot was actually not fired in the Middle East, but in its own border area. It is an area that ordinary people cannot name. It can be seen on the national map, but it has been illegally stolen by others. China briefly took back this land nearly forty years ago, but in the end it was because of its actual control capabilities. It was relatively poor and gave up in the end, leaving future generations full of regrets.
