the world is at stake

With Boeing 747, more than [-] flights can transport nearly [-] people.

Although the time was short, there was not much rehearsal, and the live performance was rough.But the slogan "the enemy is about to invade, the motherland is facing disaster" is still easily spread.

That's what the media does.

Qatar's Al Jazeera was licensed to broadcast live to the outside world.

The reporter at the scene was a little excited, grabbed the microphone and said to the outside world: "Saddam tried to send some kind of signal to the outside world, and I must say he succeeded.

Citizens of Baghdad are no strangers to military parades, but they have never seen group performances that tell history.Many people are unaware of the history of their own group, and this may well be their first life lesson. "

Marco stared at the TV for a long time, frowning even more tightly.

The civilization of Arabia was originally far superior to that of Europe, and in the Middle Ages it was even able to overwhelm European barbarians.But fighting and fighting, the Arabs themselves split up and fought among themselves.

This situation lasted for hundreds of years, and the Arab civilization not only did not progress but regressed.

Especially after the world has entered the industrial age, nations that cannot adapt will choose to self-enclose in order to protect themselves, and use extreme teachings to brainwash them in an attempt to hypnotize a fantasy world.

It's a pity that the ethnic groups who do this basically have no good fruit to eat.

The group gymnastics in Baghdad Square lasted three hours.The North Korean side tried their best, but the time was too tight, and the sound, light and music were very monotonous, basically a large-scale sitcom.

But for Iraqis who have never seen it, this is too novel.At the end of the group gymnastics, Saddam's personal deeds are told, basically using a giant screen projection to broadcast his past speeches.

In this way, many Baghdad citizens were moved to tears, as if they just met their president today.

Live performances spread throughout Iraq with the help of television signals, and not only residents in one city and one place were shocked.Even Saddam Hussein himself was greatly surprised. He did not expect that the group exercises that North Korea hastily choreographed had such a good effect.

Marco stared at the screen for a long time when the phone rang.When he picked up and said 'Hello', an extremely old and hoarse voice came from the microphone.

"There are still 48 hours and the war is about to start. Are the Israelis ready?" The caller was Ryan, an old woman from the 'low-key club'.

"Israel is in the unstable Middle East, and its combat readiness is very high. Its air force is ready to fight at any time." Marcos said that there is no problem in starting a war.

"Are you sure you can kill Saddam? What if he hides? He hid for eight months before." The old woman Ryan was still quite worried.

"Before" refers to the second Gulf War in the original history. The U.S. military failed to kill Saddam within a month, and it took a lot of effort to find a job.

"It doesn't matter. According to the conditions of victory, the execution of Saddam Hussein or the destruction of his regime counts." Marco Shi also thinks that the task is difficult, and Israel's attack power is definitely not comparable to that of the US military, but he is not without unique skills.

"Well, I wish you all the best." The old woman in London hung up.She was lying on the big bed in the ward of the underground nuclear fortification, inhaling oxygen through her nose, and staring at the same TV screen as Marco Shi with dull eyes.

The butler in the tuxedo who was taking care of him whispered: "Israel is not fighting Iraq now, but the coalition forces of Iraq and North Korea. I am worried about this war..."

The old woman who was dying on the hospital bed shook her head, "I'm not worried about this war, I'm only worried about Zhou Qingfeng. But I know that no matter whether Marco Shi wins or loses, Martha will destroy the world with a nuclear bomb."

The butler in the tuxedo was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized, bowed his head and said respectfully: "That's right, what Great Britain needs is balance. We don't have eternal friends, only eternal interests."

The housekeeper thought he understood, but the old woman still shook her head, "No, I'm worried about China, which is a completely different civilization from ours. If it wins, it means our weakness.

Think about how we have bullied those weak and small countries all these years, and the same fate may also fall on white people.Aren't you afraid? "

The butler in the tuxedo was startled again, but shook his head and said, "That's unlikely. God's people are still the most powerful group in the world."

The old woman struggled a bit on the hospital bed but couldn't get up.Panting heavily, she sighed: "After all, you still don't want to listen to me. You only think of me as a living dead. One day, you will have a bloody head."

The tuxedo butler calmly watched the old woman on the hospital bed until she was exhausted, bowed and retreated.

In Israel, more than 600 kilometers away, four F117 'Nighthawk' fighter-bombers flew to Tel Aviv Air Force Base and landed on the runway.

The Jewish pilot who flew the plane had just converted his nationality and is now serving in the Israel Defense Forces.

The airport ground staff waved their hands and guided the fighter plane to the direction of the hangar.The battery car and maintenance car have already been prepared, waiting to provide maintenance services.

The stealth fighter was temporarily leased to Israel by the US military to temporarily strengthen the ability of the Jews to attack the enemy's air defense network.Its matching [-]-pound heavy-duty laser-guided bomb is also transported in place, ready to be loaded and attacked at any time.

The Jewish Chosen Ones in the Brotherhood were actually not happy after the 'Crisis among Small Nations' quest was thrown with the dice.In their view, Israel is a big country, a superpower that should dominate the Middle East.

But they were troubled by the difficulty of the task, and it was obviously not so easy to expand their territory.It is natural to behead Saddam directly by air strikes, but it is difficult to catch Saddam once he hides.

Even in the second Gulf War in the original history, the U.S. military took advantage of the right time, place and people, and it took nearly a month to destroy Saddam's regime.

After assessment, the Israel Defense Forces admitted that it did not have the ability to solve the battle with air strikes.

On the airport tower where F117 landed, the Prime Minister of Israel, the leader of the Likud Party, and a war hero, Ariel Sharon said to the Chief of General Staff Mosiah Aron with a sullen face: "We must invest in ground forces, otherwise the war cannot be won." .”

"But Jordan only opened its airspace." The chief of the general staff looked embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter what Jordan thinks, this time the United States rarely supports us to take action, and Saddam must be defeated. Diplomatic issues will be resolved by the Americans, and we only need to fight."

The chief of staff also had a sullen face, and reminded Sharon: "There is a distance of nearly 500 kilometers from Israel to Baghdad. Even if Jordan does not stop it, we will have to attack more than [-] kilometers."

But Sharon didn't care at all, and said, "If the U.S. military could do it back then, we can do it too. Now the entire Arab world has been tamed into good dogs by the Americans. If we kill Saddam, we will be much safer and we will be able to do better." free expansion."

Initiating war is like a curse that hangs directly on the minds of the Israelis.The hard-line Sharon, who has always been tough, seems to have heard the order issued by God in the dark, and insists on carrying it out.

The chief of the general staff was not persuaded, but he chose to carry out the order, "If there is a ground battle, then the whole country must be completely mobilized."

"Then completely mobilize." Sharon shouted viciously: "I demand that the battle start in 48 hours, and Saddam's regime must be defeated within 25 days."

The chief of staff could feel the decisiveness and toughness of his own prime minister, and he complied with this will, pushing the war to break out in a more violent form.

Israel, which is in the field of the Fourth World War, does have a high level of combat readiness, while the neighboring Iraq is much slower.

No matter how anxious North Korean political workers are, the mobilization speed of the Republican Guard is slow.

This is still the result of anti-revolutionary and ideological education, otherwise the military generals would just take the money and women sent by the CIA and rush away.

The current overall equipment in Iraq is backward, and it is unknown how many tanks in the armored forces can move.The Air Force is completely slumped, and there are not many advanced fighters.The morale of ordinary soldiers may be okay, but their combat skills are surprisingly bad.

The only thing that can be counted on is the air defense force, to be precise, a group of North Korean soldiers who are the backbone of it.

The more than 5000 North Korean military aid personnel who came to Iraq have learned that they have become war mercenaries, and they can earn at least US$50 billion for the country by supporting Saddam Hussein for a month.

But it is difficult to support the current mess with just this few people.Victory or defeat is decided before the war begins.

But the war entered the final countdown, and Zhou Qingfeng received a call from Pyongyang.

The father-in-law Cui Yongzhu assured the Chinese side, "We in Iraq have all written suicide notes. We do not have the ability to win, but we have the determination to die. We will fight to the end.

Americans will understand that there are people in this world who are not afraid of them. "

Chapter 30 'Nighthawk' Broken Wings

July 3, 3:23 AM.

Jordan, Amman Governorate, Zarqa Air Force Base.

Katya arrived here two days ago, and she was accompanied by seven or eight soldiers and technicians from the Russian Federation.They bribed the Jordanian military officers at the base, and then connected more than a dozen data analysis devices to multiple base radars.

Looking at the clock, it was minutes before Israel delivered its ultimatum to Saddam Hussein seven days ago.Apart from showing its strength and confidence to its heart's content, the Iraqi side has no intention of backing down in the slightest.

At midnight, it's time for the Israelis to launch an air strike—just like the Jews did more than 20 years ago, letting the Air Force fighter planes attack across the border with impunity afterwards.

There are a large number of aircraft signals on Jordan's radar screen, most of which are international flights flying in the sky, and there are also normal Israeli combat readiness patrols.

After all, this small country has a small area, and any fighter plane taking off in Tel Aviv can be spotted by the Jordanian radar next door.

Katya and his group didn't come to see the F15 or the F16, but came to stare at the F117A 'Nighthawk' fighter-bomber.Americans privately lease stealth fighter jets to Israel, and such tricks cannot be hidden from those who are interested.

Mao Zi wanted to accumulate some radar data of the enemy's high-density fighter planes, so he simply ran to the airport in Jordan and used the local military radar to keep an eye on it.

But... nothing so far.

The man in charge of this work is a bald man in his fifties who wears glasses.He stayed in the airlifted electronic reconnaissance cabin, staring at the spectrum analysis equipment with a sad face, without saying a word.

As time slowly passed, zero o'clock has passed.

On the radar screen, it can be seen that multiple aircraft groups have taken off from multiple bases in the direction of Israel.Through signal identification, it is basically the type of military equipment for reconnaissance, escort, electronic warfare, and air strikes, with a total of hundreds of aircraft.

But Katya's team failed to capture any of the information it wanted.Bald Maozi's forehead began to sweat, and he wiped it from time to time.

At [-]:[-], Katya received a call, and then said to the bald man: "Tel Aviv's 'tourists' report that they visually saw 'Nighthawk' take off at the airport."

All members of the team stared intently at their respective instruments. Although there would be a memory to record all the signals, they still hoped to see something with the naked eye from the spectrum analyzer.

Five or six radars at Zarka Air Force Base are all staring in the direction of Tel Aviv, and the distance between the two places is less than [-] kilometers.In theory, any aircraft on the opposite side will be shown on the radar.

But... Another five or six minutes passed.

Except for some recognizable targets, Katya's team still found nothing.No radar signal corresponding to F117A was found.

"How is it possible? The meter wave radar can't find it either?"

"Perhaps the Israeli pilot flew towards the Mediterranean Sea first, away from us and then circled into Jordanian airspace."

"Unless the 'Nighthawk' flies at a low altitude fifty kilometers away from us, it will definitely be caught by Zarka's radar."

"Our chief engineer believes that the RCS of the U.S. stealth fighter jets should be at the sub-square meter level, which can be captured without meter wave radar."

"'Nighthawk' is a high-density fighter. It must act alone and will not form a team with other aircraft. Wait a little longer."

The team members talked in low voices, but Katya was too lazy to squeeze into the smelly car cabin with these men.

She actually knew the approximate data of 'Nighthawk'.After all, this first-generation stealth fighter in the 80s will be decommissioned by the US military in a few years, and some information has already been known to the outside world.

And the chief engineer of 'Sukhoi' still stubbornly insisted on his own point of view-the radar reflection area of ​​the stealth fighter is at the sub-square meter level, so he designed the Su-57.

The debate in the shelter lasted an hour, and Katya's mobile phone received the latest news from Qatari television that the Republic Palace in Baghdad had been hit by at least four heavy bombs.

The dome of the palace was completely blown through, and the shock wave of the internal explosion destroyed a large number of glass windows.Some sources speculate that this should be a ground penetrating bomb, specially used to deal with Saddam Hussein's underground escape passage inside the palace.

As for the Israeli troops who carried out the air strikes, there is no public information.

Seeing this news, Katya knocked on the iron door of the cabin, and shouted to the team members inside who still found nothing: "The war has begun, and Saddam's office was bombed. It should be the 'Nighthawk' that just took off." of."

"Are you sure it's the 'Nighthawk'?" the bald man asked. "Could it be other Israeli fighter jets? I think the Iraqi air defense system may have been disabled."

"I need to make a call." Katya switched to a satellite phone and dialed a number. "Someone must know."

Just dialed out the phone, but no one answered for a long time.Katya could only wave his hand and sighed: "That guy should be very busy at this meeting, it seems that we have to fight again later."

But the bald man asked: "Since Saddam's offices have been bombed, the Baghdad air defense network strengthened by the North Koreans should have lost nothing."

"I don't know." Katya went to his personal vehicle and searched for several media outlets that could report live in Baghdad using the satellite Internet.

Al Jazeera had the fastest news.

There have been multiple pictures taken on the spot and even a video on its website.Baghdad's power plants, state news building, government communications hub, and airport were hit on numerous targets.

In the only video posted on the website, you can see that Baghdad in the dark is full of anti-aircraft guns firing against the air, as well as missiles that take off from time to time.One of the missiles exploded in the sky, seemingly shooting down something.

According to the accompanying text on the website, the Israeli army launched the attack at about [-]:[-] in the morning.But before that, Baghdad's air defenses opened fire.

The reporter saw with his own eyes multiple explosions in the sky, and it seemed that a fighter plane had been shot down.But it is not known what type of fighter was shot down.

The Israeli military spokesman also quickly held a press conference, saying that the punishment for Iraq had already begun.The Israeli army launched its self-produced 'Deborah' cruise missiles and successfully hit several important targets in Baghdad.

As for whether there were losses, the Israeli army did not say.

The Iraqi side also reacted very quickly. Before the TV station building in Baghdad was destroyed, a video was played. It was Saddam calling out to the people of the whole country, asking all Arabs to stand up against Israel's atrocities.

I read the information, but it was useless, and they were all talking about it.

Just when Katya was mad with anger, in Fallujah, hundreds of kilometers away, several North Korean military officers led a company of Iraqi troops in an off-road truck and advanced quickly in the wilderness.

Fifty kilometers north of Fallujah, the team first found a discarded parachute.The umbrella was cut off by a knife, and a series of messy footprints were left on the ground.

The North Korean officer leading the team yelled excitedly, and shouted at the Iraqi soldiers behind him: "Stay away, the parachuting pilot is nearby."

The headlights of the off-road trucks illuminated the sand in the dark night, and hundreds of heavily armed Iraqi soldiers jumped out of the truck, spreading out in a fan shape.In order to catch people, they even brought dogs.

The Israeli pilot who parachuted did not go far at all.He raised his hand in resignation and shouted: "I am an American, I am willing to surrender, and I demand the powers granted by the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War."

A few Iraqi soldiers stepped forward and swung the butt of their guns, aiming at the pilot's head, hoping to kill him on the spot.When the North Korean military officer came up to rescue the pilot, the pilot's face was covered in blood, and he couldn't distinguish the shape of a human being.

"Stupid, a living prisoner is more valuable than a dead body." The North Korean officer leading the team was shaking with excitement. He called his companion and asked to take a photo immediately.

The one who was caught was an American prisoner. At the highlight moment of life, the opportunity to be rewarded for meritorious service came.

The captured pilot's dying appearance was instantly frozen.The camera lens also specially showed a close-up of the dog tag drawn from his neck, preparing to announce his identity to the world.

"Keep looking. The 'Nighthawk' that we shot down must be nearby. We must find it as soon as possible." Thinking of a bigger harvest, the North Korean officer shouted distortedly.

The downed fighter jet was found two kilometers away from the parachute pilot.The body is roughly complete, the wreckage is smoking, and some parts are scattered within a range of about ten kilometers.

North Korean military officers quickly organized Iraqi soldiers to put out the fire, and covered the aircraft with camouflage nets to prevent it from being destroyed by subsequent Israeli fighter planes.

Although this is not the first F117A shot down by the US military, its significance is still extremely significant.

There is a prerequisite for shooting down stealth fighters. The radar needs to know the signal characteristics of stealth fighters, otherwise it is blind.

Now there are only one... two stealth fighters in the world.

There have been rumors on the Chinese Internet that "Jiba Gun picks F22", always thinking about relying on the ground meter wave radar to guide the blind "Baye" to do "Raptor".

After 'J-[-]' comes out, I won't mention this issue.
