Big Time 1958 - Chapter 1013

“Hmm…” She yawned for a long time, and Serov didn’t hide his tiredness at all, but for the other members of the Central Presidium who also accompanied him, staying up all night made these old men even more lethargic.

With a blah blah blah, the spirited head of the spy said, “It is calculated based on the quickest response, after meetings, public opinion preparation, interest division and decision-making. It still takes several hours, this is the fastest I follow our Soviet procedure. In terms of the speed of response, the Iraqi side has now entered Kuwait, and according to the battle report just sent.”

“The Kuwaiti resistance has been routed, and the royal commander has died,” added General Chebrikov.

“Oh, as expected, it’s completely the difference in strength. Although the combat effectiveness of the Middle East countries has been criticized, there are also three, six, nine, and so on. There are worse, and there are even worse.” Shelov said, not surprised at all, ” Compared to the emirates holding the thighs of America, we are not the worst. Lucky…”

After speaking, he changed a lazy posture and said again, “Be careful of Israel, Israel has been very honest in recent years, but we can’t completely ignore the existence of Israel, do we need to take the initiative to remind Assad and Mo Barack?”

“It should not be necessary. The conflict between Israel and the Shatt al-Arab is greater than the conflict within the Arab countries.” Grishin, the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, judged, “If Israel joins the war, it will be very interesting.”

“But we still have to put an end to this hidden danger, and we can’t give Israel this time.” Tsvigon is still worried that things will change after a long time, and no one may want to see those who have more dreams at night, especially this time, the Soviet Union does not want to see that spoiler.

“This is basically impossible. Even if we start to intervene now, it will not succeed.” Shelov is not lying. He is now issuing combat orders through the Ministry of Defense. When the army moves south, Iraq will have occupied all of Kuwait. To succeed unless all Soviet soldiers are light-speed fighters.

There is also a problem, that is, the White House of the United States will definitely exert pressure on the Soviet Union as scheduled. In this regard, Serov said that he should not come to me, and that Gromyko is solely responsible for everything. This time he had absolutely no time to play with the other party, not to mention Reagan went down. Because the challenges the United States is currently facing are enormous, the conservative Bush came to power under this circumstance. The difference is that Bush won this time very hard, the votes of the two sides are very close.

It can be seen that after Reagan’s counteroffensive was ineffective, some Americans already wanted to continue to coexist peacefully with the Soviet Union. Of course, this kind of thinking is still being suppressed for the time being. If this situation continues, the United States in the 1970s may not be able to reproduce.

But since the outbreak of this war, this foreseeable future is impossible. The moderate America of the Carter era was little more than conservative treatment for the Soviet Union. When the United States has finished dealing with the country, it will also find an opportunity to come and fight the Soviet Union. Therefore, conservative treatment, in Serov’s eyes, is nothing more than delaying the more intense confrontation.

The problems that can be solved now should be solved now. What’s more, the Soviet Union has long been able to surpass the United States, and has so many more allies than in history. Isn’t it enough to control the Eurasian continent? Population, area, and resources are all there, but the only thing lacking is money. Money is paper. With the current foundation of the United States, it has long been unable to support the dollar. There is also no US dollar in Eurasia.

“Continue to do a good job of the latest intelligence work, of course, not only limited to the Middle East, the Fifth Fleet may be coming back.” Shelov waved to end the meeting, whether it was too late now or not. The United States is all trying to save it, whether it is futile or futile. If the United States does not respond, it will lose 100% of the Middle East. If it returns to aid now, there may be a 1% possibility of restoring the situation.

In the Persian Gulf, the sun has just risen on the horizon at this time. The news of Iraq’s aggressive attack on Kuwait has directly put pressure on Bahrain’s Fifth Fleet Command. For decades, Bahrain’s defense has never been empty. Simply from the announcement issued by Iraq, all the problems are gathered in Kuwait, Bahrain is temporarily safe.

This kind of taste without the protection of a strong military force has never been experienced by ordinary American soldiers. Of course, they are not lacking in courage, but they are better at bullying the enemy with weapons of a generation ahead. Without this condition, they will be a little unaccustomed.

The two US soldiers on duty by the sea were walking and chatting while holding guns. They were different from those in the headquarters who communicated with China and the Fifth Fleet. Their expressions were relatively relaxed. Focus on doing your own thing.

Evidently one of the pair has the talent of a keyboard politician. Maybe after retiring, he will run for president or something. While patrolling, they chatted about the Iraqi attack on Kuwait that had spread to the base.

“Now those cruise ships should take advantage of the time to leave as soon as possible?” the younger soldier said, “It will definitely have an impact, but I don’t know how our country is going to deal with it, will it interfere?”

The navigation time of the Persian Gulf is 20 hours, because this is the busiest waterway in the world, and it is very crowded at some times, but the real navigation time is determined ten years ago, after the revolution, Iran’s strait of Holmes. Threats were issued, and after arduous negotiations, oil tankers in the Persian Gulf would not travel from 2:00 to 6:00 in the middle of the night, avoiding collisions and unknowable risks. You must know that the two sides of the Persian Gulf now belong to the United States. and the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union.

“Who knows? Once the war begins, the attitude of the Soviet Union must be taken into consideration. How can I, a soldier, know how likely it is to go to war with the Soviet Union?” Obviously some older soldiers said worriedly, “That is not an ordinary opponent.”

The United States regards the Soviet Union as a real opponent. Since it is an opponent of the same level as itself, it is not easy to defeat. From the perspective of an ordinary soldier, this kind of war can not be fought without fighting.

The senior keyboard politician laughed and said, “The Soviet Union will not take the initiative to go to war with us, and they are not stupid.”

Just as the two were leaning against the military vehicle and chatting with their backs to the coast, a large number of Soviet-style amphibious tanks gradually appeared in the shallow waters of Bahrain in the sea a few kilometers away. Iranian armed helicopters are moving forward against the sea, and in front of them, the coastline is already in sight.

The tank is moving at full speed, getting closer and closer to the target, and everyone is in a combat state. When the radar of the gunship finds the island in front, both the gunship and the tank speed up and approach the island, and the commander stands on the bow. Looking at the gradually growing island with the scope, I found that the island is very quiet, but all Iranians know what is hidden behind such quietness, and where is the American military power village.

Finally, the exclamations of some Bahrainis covering the road caught the attention of the two of them. When they turned around in a daze, what they saw was a huge war machine. sea ​​flight.

“Oops, it’s the Soviets, they started a war with us!” The keyboard politician jumped up, pulled him straight back into the military vehicle while he was still stunned, and slammed on the accelerator to escape the coastal road. He had never seen a Soviet soldier, but knew that these weapons belonged to the Soviet Union, either the Soviet Union or the Soviet Union’s allies. This matter should be reported immediately.

The    group of gunships skimmed the treetops at a low altitude, setting off a gust of wind. The first amphibious tank washed up on the coast, and a listening car on the coastal road was crushed into scrap metal. After a few hours of crossing the sea, Iran’s elite troops rushed to Bahrain, the base of the Fifth Fleet. .

“Destroy all air defense facilities and prepare for the airborne troops!” The commander of the Army Aviation Division ordered Dasheng with a walkie-talkie.

“Build a beachhead, go straight to the palace of Bahrain, and don’t get entangled with the US military.” The Iranian commander who opened the tank’s roof shouted, “The island of Bahrain that we don’t take away will return to the embrace of the motherland today.”

The soldiers shouted and jumped down like dumplings. Holding the rifle high, he slowly moved forward. A tank mounted on the sand pile made a huge roar, jumped out of the hiding position, stopped suddenly after rushing to the designated position, and fired a cannon at the Bahrain bunker on the beach.

There was a sudden rumble of helicopter propellers in the sky, and then a rocket fell from the sky, and the sound of machine guns came at the same time as the rocket fell. With a loud bang, the rocket hit another bunker, blasting the concrete and steel bars everywhere, making the first warrior who resisted the Iranian attack completely misfired.

Iran’s helicopter gunships quickly dispersed to their intended targets, and Bahrain was ruled by Iran for too long. Almost 90% of the people are Shiites, while the royal family believes that Sunnis have a good relationship with Saudi Arabia. Under such circumstances, it is not difficult for Iran to find people who are willing to provide information to the motherland. After the revolution, Iran has accepted the intelligence network of the Pahlavi Kingdom, and has become more targeted. It is hoped that this strategically important island can be recovered one day. .

The    group of gunships had only one-third of the fuel, and the amphibious tanks had only one-fourth of the fuel left. But for an island with an area of ​​only a few hundred square kilometers, it is enough. In Iran, a large number of heavy transport aircraft were lined up, and airborne soldiers carrying umbrellas were lined up to board the military aircraft. They couldn’t wait. In order to get Bahrain back, some casualties are perfectly acceptable, and a little loss is perfectly acceptable before this ultimate goal.
