Chapter 643 The Arrival of the US Navy

Peace and development are the main themes of the world, but war is still inevitable. Saddam Hussein of Iraq dared to invade Kuwait and occupy the base of a friend who once firmly supported Iraq in fighting Iran. This behavior aroused the indignation of everyone.

When Iraq fought Iran, it almost won the support of the whole world. Western countries led by the United States fully supported Saddam Hussein and made him a person who represented justice and bravery. However, after only a few years, the American media finally realized that they were wrong. Now they have to change their previous praise and turn Saddam Hussein into the incarnation of the devil.

In any case, Iraq has aroused public anger this time. The Gulf countries are very dissatisfied with Iraq and believe that Iraq's invasion of Kuwait is a bad signal. This is a step for Saddam to build the former Babylonian Empire!

However, as a major country in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia has not given up its efforts for peace and hopes to mediate and let Iraq withdraw from the territory of Kuwait. This matter is over.

As the middleman, King Hussein of Jordan was constantly running around, but unfortunately, Saddam was determined.

Saddam was a short-sighted and self-righteous guy. He won a blitzkrieg with the tactics of World War II and thought he was a figure like Hammurabi the Great.

The world has changed a long time ago, and such people will be attacked by the masses!

At the suggestion of the United States, the UN Security Council voted to pass Resolution 731, requiring a trade and financial embargo on Iraq and establishing a special sanctions committee. After that, Iraq ignored the resolution made by the Security Council requiring Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait, so at the 736th gathering. The Security Council made a new ruling: If Iraq still did not withdraw its troops from Kuwait before February 15, 1993, the United Nations authorized the Security Council member states to take "all necessary means" to force Iraq to implement the above UN resolution!

With the United Nations as a fig leaf, this time the US military intervention will be a task full of justice! Now is not the future, the United States kicked the United Nations away and did whatever it wanted, anyway, the United States is the only superpower. This resolution of the Security Council is too important!

Stubborn Saddam, facing the resolution of the United Nations. Continue to move forward on his own path. Just after the publication of the United Nations Resolution 736, Iraq announced that at the request of the Government of the Republic of Kuwait, Iraq will merge with Kuwait! The announcer of Baghdad Radio broadcasted affectionately: "The great personality charm of our Arab Knights' leader, President Saddam Hussein, has conquered our entire Arab world! Just like a lost son returning to their big family, Kuwait has decided to return to its motherland, Great Iraq!"

Colonel Aliyah Hussein Ali, who was the leader of Kuwait for only half a month, was downgraded.

At the request of the Kuwaiti government, Iraq officially announced that Kuwait would be divided into two. The main oil fields in the north were assigned to Basra Province in southern Iraq, and the rest of the area was assigned to Iraq's 19th province, Kadima Province, and Colonel Ali became the governor of this province.

Since Kuwait has entered the embrace of the big family of Iraq. Then Kuwait's previous currency, the dinar, will naturally be cancelled. Since Kuwait has abundant oil reserves and the economic situation has always been good, Kuwait's currency, the dinar, has always been very strong and is also an international currency.

And now, with Saddam's words, those Kuwaiti dinars in the foreign exchange reserves of other countries have become waste paper! Used to replace. It is the Iraqi dinar, this currency, which has not been popular in the international market at all. Everyone knows that Iraq now owes so much foreign debt, and this currency will depreciate at any time.

Kuwait City was also renamed Kadima, which was the name of the Ottoman Empire at that time.

Saddam is an image of an Arab warrior who thinks he is very cool and brave and goes all the way to the end. Faced with this guy's performance, the United States is of course very welcome.

After a long voyage, the USS Independence aircraft carrier fleet has arrived at Gwadar Port in Pakistan.

Independence, in history, four warships of the US Navy were named after this name. And now, this Independence aircraft carrier is the fourth ship of the US "Forrestal" class aircraft carrier. This is the first class of aircraft carriers built by the US Navy after World War II, specially designed and built to carry jet aircraft.

Since its service in 1959, this aircraft carrier has a history of more than 30 years. It is a very old ship with rich experience. After its completion, this aircraft carrier traveled to Chongyang and came to the island country of Yokosuka Port, and used Yokosuka Port as its base, becoming the first aircraft carrier of the US Navy based in the Far East.

After that, the Independence aircraft carrier participated in the Vietnam War and participated in the air strikes on Syria during the Lebanese Civil War. The carrier-based aircraft aviation also had skilled combat skills.

This time, as the vanguard of the US military, the Independence aircraft carrier fleet came to Pakistan and used Gwadar Port as its base for combat deployment.

As the host, Pakistani Navy Chief of Staff Zahar, on behalf of the Pakistani government, welcomed the arrival of the US fleet.

For Pakistan, this is also an opportunity to increase foreign exchange. The aircraft carrier fleet and tens of thousands of US Navy soldiers have come to Pakistan. This is a huge consumer group! Needless to say, food, daily consumer goods, and various fuel supplies for fighter planes and warships must be provided by Pakistan, and these are clearly marked.

The full load displacement of the Independence exceeds 80,000 tons, and it can carry 80 carrier-based aircraft, with a strong attack force.

From a distance, seeing the arrival of such a behemoth at the dock, Zahar also sighed in his heart. Now Pakistan's Endeavour has a displacement of less than half of the opponent, while the United States has more than ten sea giants!

For aircraft carriers, the larger the tonnage, the lower the cost-effectiveness, and the more cost-effective it is to use. This is also the reason why Pakistan has started its second aircraft carrier, and the displacement has greatly increased.

After entering the port, this huge ship could not be accurately moored by its own power. Several Pakistani tugboats helped the aircraft carrier to accurately dock at the largest deep-water dock, which was originally designed for berthing oil tankers of more than 400,000 tons.

American naval soldiers in white dresses stood in a circle on the deck, and the warship fired a few salutes, which was a friendly gesture.

"Welcome to Pakistan." Zahar said to the American captain opposite.

As the commander of this giant, with the powerful military force of the US Navy, the captain of the aircraft carrier is not of high rank, all of them are colonels. Now in front of Zahar is Colonel Dennis.

"It's a great honor for us to join hands and fight against Saddam, the Great Satan." Dennis' words were full of pride: "Welcome our Pakistani friends to come and inspect our warship."

The US aircraft carrier had just arrived and immediately accepted the inspection of the Chief of Staff of the Pakistani Navy with full spirit. Seeing these Americans who had been drifting for dozens of days still so high-spirited, Zahar couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a century-old navy! The US Navy is really too strong!

Apart from anything else, the captains of the US Navy's aircraft carriers are selected from pilots who have nearly a thousand aircraft carrier takeoffs and landings. This alone can make Pakistan envious. Now, Pakistan can't pick out a pilot with more than a thousand aircraft carrier takeoffs and landings.

And this aircraft carrier is so huge, with four steam catapults, a large deck, and a bridge on one side, and the US flag flying vigorously.

"We need to launch our attack as soon as possible." Coming to the bridge of the aircraft carrier, looking at the dock outside and the sea in the distance, US Navy Colonel Dennis said: "Saddam openly incorporated Kuwait into Iraq and became one of their provinces. This is something that no one wants to see. What we need to do now is to suppress them from the air first!"

With the arrival of the US aircraft carrier, the first shot at Saddam is finally about to be fired!

"Your country's air force has not arrived yet." Zahar said: "Don't you plan to act together?"

Act together? The relationship between the US Air Force and the Navy has always been very delicate. Now, the US Air Force is still dawdling in the rear. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Navy will arrive first and of course launch the first attack!

"No, we will rest here for two days and launch the attack immediately." Dennis said: "I hope you can provide us with enough aviation fuel."

The power of the aircraft carrier formation lies in the powerful carrier-based aircraft. With the capacity of the aircraft carrier and high-intensity combat, all the stored oil will be consumed in five or six days, so it is very important to rely on local supplies.

"No problem at all." Zahar said, "Do you need our navy to cooperate?"

Thinking of his own aircraft carrier, although it has 80 carrier-based aircraft, the only one that can really play a role in air control is the F-14 fighter squadron. If Pakistan's aircraft carrier joins, it will be even more sufficient.

"Okay, let's act together and establish a no-fly zone over the Persian Gulf to let the Iraqis know how powerful we are!" Dennis said.

Saddam annexed Kuwait, thinking that he had eaten the fat meat in his mouth and would not spit it out again. Now, the powerful US Navy Air Force will let them know who is the real master of this world! (To be continued ~^~)
