Chapter 694: The Shame of the US Army
The shadow of the Vietnam War once again loomed over the Americans. The heavy losses in the Doha barracks this time made all those who thought they were mentally prepared feel terrified.
The deaths of many general officers, including Admiral Schwarzkopf, made it even more difficult for these hawkish politicians who advocated war to explain to the American public. They had no choice but to launch a hero to divert the attention of reporters and the public. In order to turn their anger to Saddam, they would be supported to fight the war to the end until they completely controlled Iraqi oil.
Originally, the Americans wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to test their new combat theory, reduce the casualties of the US military through high-tech modern warfare, and finally achieve a zero-casualty war. Equipment can be rebuilt if it is lost. After all, life is only once, and American lives are the most valuable.
However, cheap ballistic missiles caused heavy casualties to the Americans, which is simply a shame for the US military!
At the same time, the failure of the war also greatly annoyed the arms dealers. Taking advantage of the advantages of their own military equipment in the war, letting other countries see the good performance of their own weapons, receiving large orders at the same time, and maintaining the operation of the military industry, this is already a familiar practice for Americans.
But now, Iraq uses electronic jammers to make both sides blind and deaf. In the absence of electronic support, Iraq's MiG-25 is not inferior to the F15 at all, and even the high-altitude and high-speed MiG-25 can fight with American fighters in the sky.
Without the support of the electronic system, the Americans fought very badly.
At the same time, the ballistic missile attack in Doha was just the beginning. It dealt a heavy blow to the American garrison and disintegrated the American combat capability. The 50,000 most elite Republican Guards of Iraq, which had been hidden for a long time, once again crossed the Iraq-Kuwait border as the vanguard force, sweeping away the remaining coalition forces, and the small country of Kuwait was destroyed again. The embarrassed Emir Jaber once again took a special plane to flee with the royal family. This time, they took an American plane and flew directly to the United States, where it was safest!
The White House.
Bush's eyes were red. They sat together to discuss countermeasures for twelve hours. They still did not reach a consensus.
"To avenge our fallen soldiers, we have no choice but to continue to send troops to retake Kuwait and reoccupy the entire Iraq!" Defense Secretary Cheney gritted his teeth and said, "This is a shame for our U.S. military!"
When the Scud missile attack occurred that day, General Schwarzkopf was awakened by his adjutant in his sleep and hurried to the headquarters. As a result, missiles rained down halfway, and a high-explosive warhead exploded near General Schwarzkopf, and his entire body was blown away. Only one arm was left intact.
However, fortunately, General Schwarzkopf was killed at the time. His death. Let the country define him as a martyr who died for the country. Even in the most brutal World War II, the United States did not lose a general-level general. The highest-ranking general killed at that time was Lieutenant General Buckner, commander of the 10th Army, an amazing "beast".
Now that General Schwarzkopf is dead, he can leave a good reputation. Otherwise, the responsibility for the failure of this war must be borne by General Schwarzkopf. This war was fought more cowardly than the Vietnam War. The United States fought for several years in the Vietnam War, and only more than 40,000 people were killed. This time, in just a few minutes, more than 20,000 Americans were killed and more than 40,000 were disabled.
If the war continues like this, it will take less than two years for all American soldiers to die in the Middle East.
"Continue to mobilize troops from our country, from Saudi Arabia to Kuwait, and into Iraq!" National Security Assistant General Brent Scowcroft also said with gritted teeth. This is indeed a huge shame for the army!
"But now there is a lot of opposition to us in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi king officially notified us that Saudi Arabia can accept our retreating troops, but Saudi Arabia will not allow us to continue to use Saudi Arabia as a springboard to provoke a war against Iraq." The Secretary of State said expressionlessly: "They are negotiating with Iraq to resolve the Kuwait issue."
"Damn it! Aren't these Middle Eastern bumpkins afraid that Saddam's soldiers will continue to occupy their land?" Hearing this, Bush Sr.'s anger finally vented.
The lack of cooperation from those guys in the Middle East is also a very important reason for the United States' defeat this time.
There is always a reason for defeat. The commanding generals look for reasons from a tactical perspective, while the politicians in the rear look for reasons from a strategic perspective. In the Middle East, the United States has always been an outsider. Without the support of the locals, it is difficult to achieve great things.
Even Saudi Arabia, which has always been obedient, did not obey the orders of the United States!
"In fact, even stationing troops in Saudi Arabia is not a good option. When we have not completely solved the problem of Iraq's Scud missiles, we will be in danger of being hit again if we are within their range." Vice President Dan Quayle, the only calm person, said such a fact.
This time, they thought they had solved the problem of Scud missile defense, and at the same time, they were a little anxious, so they stationed troops in Kuwait. As a result, they were destroyed by Iraq and suffered heavy casualties.
Hearing the vice president's words, Bush looked at him and said, "Do you mean that we should station troops in other countries?"
Besides Saudi Arabia, what else is there in the Middle East? Forget about Iran. Israel is not adjacent to them. I am afraid that Pakistan is the one they can use.
"We just suppressed Pakistan and supported India at the United Nations. Now we want to use Pakistan again?" Bush himself felt that this was simply showing his low IQ.
"We just got the latest military intelligence." William Webster, director of the CIA, said: "The Pakistanis have made new moves."
After that, he turned on the projector and played the pictures taken by the reconnaissance satellite.
Originally, William had received intelligence from Pakistan before coming here for the meeting, but he had been discussing how to deal with Iraq, so he did not say it. Now, after shifting the topic to Pakistan, William took out these pictures for everyone to see.
After all, this is intelligence that has a great impact on the situation in South Asia. Although the United States has been frustrated in the Middle East, it also has a global strategic deployment. (To be continued ~^~)
