Dominate South Asia

"Moreover, we in Iraq can also agree with the return of the backward and decadent royal family to Kadima Province, and we can also agree with their rule over Kadima Province. However, we have an absolute condition, which is not to allow the coalition troops to enter! This is Our bottom line is that we resist the entry of hegemonic countries in the Western world under the banner of peace. We will never forget the crimes committed by the Western world in our Arab world!" Tariq had a stern look on his face at this time: "If the Western army enters Kadima Province, it will be a disservice to us! We will fight to the death against our Iraqi challenge, and we will use all means, including the use of biological and chemical weapons!”

"Bang." Seeing this, Bush closed the TV screen angrily.

Damn it!

The conditions for Iraq's withdrawal are that it will not allow the coalition troops to enter. How sincere is this? As long as there is no protection from the US military, the Iraqi army can invade Kuwait at any time!

Moreover, Iraq was very serious about what it said. It spoke of Kadima Province in one mouthful and never mentioned the name of the country Kuwait. It made it clear that it still decided to take over Kuwait!

As for the oil fields in northern Kuwait, will they still return them? According to the division of Iraq, those oil fields have been divided into Basra Province!

"We absolutely cannot agree to this condition!" Bush said through gritted teeth: "We must continue to increase our troops, prepare for battle, and start the second strike within five days! This time, the military must not let us down. ! The army we maintain with a huge amount of taxpayers’ money is not a bunch of idiots who can’t even defeat Iraq!”

Admiral Schwarzkopf's face turned red and white as he listened. Didn't this make it clear that he was a loser?

"Mr. President, since Iraq has made this statement, we should also have diplomatic response measures." Secretary of State Baker, who is still reasonable, said: "I think if Iraq withdraws its troops, it should withdraw unconditionally." All of Kuwait’s territory can be shown to their peace-loving sincerity.”

Baker is wily and scheming. The original Plaza Accord was a far-sighted move to pass on the domestic crisis in the United States.

The Iraqis made such a statement, as if the United States had become the culprit in launching the war. The United States must strive for a bright image. We must not let the Iraqis throw dirty water!

Moreover, he also knew deeply that the reason why the countries in the Middle East allowed troops from the United States and other Western countries to enter was for the purpose of fighting Saddam. Once Saddam gave in and showed his sincerity for peace, they would definitely try their best to promote it. Peace, avoidance of war.

This is not good news for the United States.

Baker guessed correctly, right after Iraq made this statement. These rich and weak people in the Middle East immediately abandoned their American friends and knelt down to Saddam.

Got the news. King Hussein of Jordan went to Baghdad again to discuss with Iraqi President Saddam. After repeated consultations and telephone discussions with the heads of state of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and other countries, a peace agreement was reached.

Iraq no longer recognizes the province of Kadima, as well as Kuwaiti territory south of Basra. It will also be fully returned to Kuwait, and Iraq will re-recognize Kuwait as a sovereign country. As long as Kuwait does not allow any foreign troops to enter, Iraq is willing to fully withdraw from Kuwait.

After reaching such an agreement, King Hussein of Jordan felt that he had done his best. In order to persuade President Saddam to return the oil fields in the north, he had to compromise in other aspects, such as regarding the deployment of coalition forces to station troops in Kuwait, but gave up.

Kuwait has experienced national subjugation. The army has long been gone, and now Kuwait's restoration has only an administrative regime, which is very fragile. However, after all, Saddam was allowed to recognize Kuwait again. This was simply impossible for the stubborn Saddam.

To know. Iraq just won a victory and knocked out the American army! At this time, Iraq's initiative to withdraw its troops can fully demonstrate its sincerity.

Otherwise, Iraq can continue to persist, and the war will continue. The dead and injured will be Arab brothers!

Being able to exchange for peace through negotiation and prevent Arab brothers from killing each other is exactly what the Gulf countries want to see.

So, without any discussion with the United States, a peace agreement was born.

On April 13, Iraq's huge army set out from Kuwait and returned to Iraq through Highway 8 with high spirits.

Many reporters came to Kuwait to broadcast this grand event. Although the United States has taken measures to control press freedom, reporters can still broadcast freely in areas beyond the control of the United States, such as Kuwait.

Iraq did not seem to be concealing its armed forces. Therefore, under the lens of the reporter, there were roaring T-80U main battle tanks, four-axis all-wheel drive, and anti-aircraft missile systems on the chassis of large off-road heavy trucks. , and even a dozen Scud missile launch vehicles appeared!

When you leave, you have to show off your force! The eyes of the Americans were on fire, but they were surprisingly calm that day and did not take off fighter planes to attack the Iraqi army.

The Scud missiles they had been looking for using a lot of air power flashed before their eyes, but they couldn't attack them!

The peace agreement has been reached, but the United States was actually sold out by the coalition forces and the Arabs! If they launch an attack again at this time, it would be a deliberate destruction of peace, and they would have a bad image in the world.

At the beginning, the United States came in under the banner of helping Kuwait to restore its country. Now that the Kuwaiti royal family is about to return, the United States has no reason to interfere.

Two days later, UN personnel will enter Kuwait to verify and confirm the fact that the Iraqi army has completely withdrawn.

With the large-scale withdrawal of the Iraqi army, the situation in the Gulf began to ease. However, around the fact that Iraq invaded Kuwait, the various forces exchanged sharp words and accused each other. More behind-the-scenes political transactions are being carried out intensively.

On the Iraqi side, after Saddam dealt a heavy blow to the coalition forces under Shostakovich's plan, he took the initiative to make peace and withdraw from Kuwait while still having the upper hand. Not only did he temporarily get rid of the unjust reputation of invading and occupying other countries from a moral point of view, but he also left the United States with an embarrassing dilemma.

Because the United States did not get the expected fruits of victory (mastering the Middle East oil hegemony and the right to station troops), and was slapped several times by Saddam, just when it was ready to get back at the game, it was told that the other party would not play anymore. It was as aggrieved as it could be.

Without getting the dividends of the war, under the pressure of domestic arms dealers and oil dealers, the Bush administration gritted its teeth and proposed three conditions: Iraq must compensate Kuwait for war losses totaling more than 2 trillion US dollars (including military compensation of up to 300 billion US dollars to the coalition forces); consciously accept international supervision to destroy offensive armaments; Saddam and his staff must step down and accept trial by the International Court of Justice.

Obviously, this is a condition that Iraq and Saddam will never accept. Foreign Minister Tariq even said domineeringly in the news at the time, if you want to fight, then fight! I hope the United States is equipped with enough body bags. The last time it prepared 12,000 body bags (historical facts) has been used up long ago!

The Soviet Union hopes that the United States will stop here and everyone will continue to live in the atmosphere of the global village where everyone is happy...

The members of the coalition forces, the Pakistani army, under the instruction of Muhammad, said that since Iraq and Kuwait have reached a peace agreement and withdrawn from Kuwait, the war is over. Except for some troops who continue to stay to fulfill the defense agreement with Saudi Arabia, the Pakistani army will gradually withdraw from the Gulf region and return to the country. With Pakistan's beginning, European countries such as France, Italy, Czech Republic, Poland, etc. also said that the war is over and their soldiers want to go home. And Middle Eastern countries such as Egypt, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates even withdrew their troops without even saying hello to the United States. Except for the United Kingdom, it still expressed its unwavering support for any action of its American cousin.

As the leader, the United States suddenly found that it might have to go it alone. The Bush administration, which did not want the coalition to disband, sent diplomatic envoys to relevant countries everywhere, and used inducements, coercion, economic aid, military trade aid and other bargaining chips to make some countries continue to stay in the coalition and wait for General Schwarzkopf's dispatch, but Pakistan was unmoved and the withdrawal plan was carried out in an orderly manner, because Muhammad knew that he had already prepared a "big pit" for the United States, just waiting for the United States to jump in stupidly, and not to get involved and pit himself.

They argued with each other for several months. During this period, with the help of Saudi Arabia, a Pakistani armored brigade escorted the Kuwaiti royal family back to Kuwait.

Then, out of fear of Iraq, a powerful neighbor, and Saddam, the Kuwaiti royal family signed a joint defense and mutual assistance agreement with the US military, allowing the US military to obtain the right to use military bases such as Doha and Jaber, so the US, Britain and other Western coalition forces entered Kuwait with great fanfare and demonstrated to Iraq with a clear banner.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq threatened on TV news that Kuwait had violated the original withdrawal and peace agreement that prohibited any foreign troops from entering Kuwait, so don't blame Iraq for being rude in the future!

But the coalition led by the United States continues to use medium and low-intensity air strikes to explain that the war must not end. Old Saddam, are you ready to continue? (To be continued ~^~)
