Chapter 1022: Spear of the Desert

It seems that this trip to Kinshasa will not be able to go, or write a letter to congratulate the establishment of the Democratic People's Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, concentrate on dealing with the Middle East issue, and I believe that those black uncles will not be able to pick on this time.

In Moscow, the symbol of the supreme power of the Soviet Union, inside the Great Kremlin, Serov, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Chairman of the Supreme Soviet, welcomed special envoys from Baghdad and Tehran. The imminent threat of ground war is inevitable.

Iraq and Iran suffered a lot of damage during the month-long air strikes, and the United States has put heavy pressure on the two countries by covering the attack of ground forces with strong air superiority. The strength of the U.S. Navy is relative, and if the Soviet Union did not exist, the U.S. Army would also be the strongest in the world.

But since the Soviet Union existed, it is not surprising that Iran and Iraq, as allies of the Soviet Union, recall that they claim to be the strongest big brothers on land. A return from the idea of replicating the Vietnam War.

Serov, who had maintained the contemplative's movements for half an hour, finally moved, his eyelids jumping. Since it was a small partner who came to ask for help, the posture of the big brother always had to be put on a show, and with a click, Serov, who was addicted to tobacco, said with a fireworks, "I believe that the comrades of both Iraq and Iran understand that if the Soviet Union makes a move, it will represent the first time in decades that the Soviet Union and the United States will meet on the battlefield, and there will be a risk of world war, which is very risky." ”

Serov still wants to capture the past, he is ready to send troops, he can't even keep Iran, the achievements of the Soviet Union for decades will be ruined, and he still wants to win the Cold War? Let's wash and sleep, the bosses are all soft eggs, and the younger brothers will still have hope for victory?

However, there is determination and determination, and the Soviet Union is still impossible to be polite in terms of interests, the United States sent troops to let dozens of countries share the military expenses, and Serov certainly cannot learn from imperialism, and the Soviet Union will pay the salaries of the soldiers who sent troops this time, but in other aspects, the two countries must cooperate unconditionally.

"General Secretary Serov, the USSR and our two countries have treaties, and to protect our security, from the point of view of international prestige or from the spirit of contract, the USSR is not suitable for compromise at this time." The Iranian ambassador to Moscow was a little dissatisfied, but his tone was still full of restraint, and now all hope was in the Soviet Union.

"I know, that's why it's troublesome." Serov replied with an unchanged face, if Gorbachev was sitting here, the two of them were destined to go home. Historically, Saddam Hussein was one of the few friendly countries of the Soviet Union, and the attack on Kuwait brought about an increase in oil prices, which greatly eased the financial situation of the Soviet Union. In this case, Gorbachev actually sold Iraq, which directly caused the complete collapse of the Soviet Middle East system, which Serov is not ready to learn.

Serov, who is not ready to learn from Gorbachev, must also let the two countries know the difficulties of this matter, do not think that there will be no resistance to the Soviet Union's actions, and do not even think about rescuing Iran and Iraq at the risk of nuclear war without asking for anything in return.

The exchange fell silent again, and it took a long time for Serov to speak, "If a ground offensive is unavoidable, Iraq and Iran must do something, and this must be done, and there can be no bargaining." That is, to hand over all the military commands of the two countries, and to put all military operations under the responsibility of General Baghramyan, commander of the Southern Theater of Operations, and you all understand that the United States is not an ordinary adversary, and if there is no unification of government decrees, the armies of the three countries are destined to not give full play to their maximum capabilities in terms of coordination. ”

"We need to communicate with the country!" The ambassadors of Iraq and Iran looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

Serov waved his hand, the meaning could not be simpler, he could wait for the reply of the two countries, and the military power must be handed over. An evacuation order was then officially issued, and in the event of a threat from the United States to the Soviet Union with nuclear weapons, the emergency evacuation mechanism would be activated. Unfortunately, the construction of the second phase of the combat space station has encountered difficulties, and it will take at least two years to fully deploy. Otherwise, there can be a killer feature this time, but things are not always smooth sailing, and the benefits can't be taken advantage of by him, just want to open it......

"One week is enough for you to assemble the troops of the three military regions, and according to our satellite photos, the US ground forces are basically ready." Serov, who had returned home, called General Baghramyan again and asked, "Maybe we should tell Iraq the news so that they can attack the United States first by surprise." ”

"Will you?" On the other side of the phone, Senior General Baglamilyan, who was looking through the logistics materials, had a playful voice in his voice.

"No, yes, stay safe." Serov wanted to say something but stopped, and finally hung up the phone, saying that it was a little unlucky. If Serov went out on his own, and someone sang goodbye to the Slavic woman, he would definitely not be happy in his heart, and he would feel that the other party cursed him.

In Washington, D.C., U.S. President George W. Bush and Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Powell, discussed whether the final ground operation should begin. Air strikes are not a substitute for everything, Kuwait is in the hands of the Iraqis, and this war is meaningless. Bahrain is in the hands of the Iranians, and our naval forces cannot penetrate deep into the Persian Gulf. ”

"The problem is that the attitude of the Soviet Union is getting tougher, and our spy satellites have seen that the entire southern army of the Soviet Union is massing, and thousands of kilometers of borders are dusty, and tanks and armored vehicles are in sight. I heard that the big spy sent his most trusted general, General Bagramian, who grew up watching him, sit in Baku. Whether this is a deliberate attitude or a real threat, I can't tell. President Bush said with some hesitation, "The armaments we see in the photographs alone far exceed the weapons of the two Iraqs together." The ground forces of the USSR itself, it was really terrifying. ”

"Serov should know that the Soviet Union and the United States cannot meet again in war." Defense Secretary Dick Cheney gave his own judgment, "But we can't use common sense to figure out Serov as a person, as long as we end the battle quickly." ”

"Then give the order, start Operation Desert Sabre." President Bush was silent for a moment, then showed his decisiveness.

Serov in Moscow was pleased because Iraq and Iran had tentatively agreed that if the U.S. ground offensive began, they would hand over their own forces to Soviet command in exchange for the Soviet Union's great and internationalist friendship.

"Big brother, the commander of the Middle East forces of the United States is a descendant of the Germans, and given the current hostile relationship between us and the United States, you should not embarrass Uncle Baglamyan." Serov, who felt that the time was getting closer, had one last call with Baghramyan, and after he really started to march, he might not be able to contact this big brother.

"Oh, descendants of the Germanic people?" General Bagramian let out a long voice, and then said categorically, "It's the Germans who fight, and see how much he learned from the blitzkrieg." ”

Putting down the phone, General Bagramian looked at the deployment of the Iraqi army, put himself in the role of the other party, and then called Lieutenant General Kvashnin in and instructed, "Lieutenant General Kvashnin, although the United States has not made a lot of publicity, I know that there is our old adversary, the American Seventh Army, on the other side, they have come from the Federal Republic of Germany, and we must treat them well." ”

"The enemies of the Soviets will be buried with steel and fire." The commander of the 6th Tank Army, Lieutenant General Kvashnin, put his legs together and assured, "Comrade Deputy Chief of the General Staff, I am also waiting for this day." "General Baghramyan was once the deputy chief of the General Staff of the Western cluster and was very familiar with the heavy American group in Germany.

"Now I feel like it's just a bit of a fatalistic thing." General Bagramian patted his subordinates on the shoulder, the commander of the enemy was Germanic, and the important troops kneeling down were the American Seventh Army, which was facing the western cluster, and it was good, too good to be better.

President Bush announced at the White House: "In view of the fact that the Iraqi Government has still not agreed to withdraw its troops from Kuwait, I have ordered Schwarzkopf, commander of the US Gulf Forces, to use US ground forces to work with other warring countries to expel Iraqi troops from Kuwait." ”

In Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, Admiral Schwarzkopf, commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East, picked up the phone and officially ordered, "Operation Desert Sabre begins, annihilating Iraq's heavy forces in Kuwait." We want to be everywhere, on their heads, on the soles of their feet, right and left, front and back, underneath, inside, everywhere! ”

With the order of Admiral Schwarzkopf, the coalition forces led by the United States launched an all-out attack on the 500-kilometer-long front, with a huge group of planes taking off to bomb the Iraqi heavy troop clusters around Kuwait, and the Apache helicopter gunship of the 227th Army Aviation Brigade of the US Army rose into the air like a swarm to attack the Iraqi tanks visible on the ground.

The 101st Airborne Division, the 82nd Airborne Division, the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division, the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, the 1st Armored Division, the 3rd Armored Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division, the 3rd Brigade of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division, and the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment of the US 7th Army on the right flank, launched an all-out offensive on both flanks.

"Inform the Iraqi army that they must not retreat from Kuwait, and we will go to their rescue. Tell Tehran that Bahrain is an isolated island, the main attack location of the US military is Iraq, and Iran must quickly rescue Iraq, which is an order, and once Iraq fails, Bahrain will be easily recaptured by the US military. General Baghramyan looked at Lieutenant General Kvashnin and said, "The Red Banner Sixth Tank Army, first cross the border, and I will lead the other troops south in twenty-four hours." Americans like to use code names for environmental aspects, so our operation is called the Desert Spear. ”

"Comrade commander, then I'll go first, I'll see you later." Lieutenant General Kvashnin saluted and strode away from the Le Command.
