Chapter 1113: The Iranians Land
"Hmm......" Serov did not hide his tiredness at all, but for the other members of the Central Presidium who also accompanied him, the lack of sleep all night made these old men more and more sluggish. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
With a click on his mouth, the big spy leader who was a little more energetic said, "Calculate with the fastest response, after the meeting, the preparation of public opinion, the division of interests and decision-making. How can it take a few hours, this is what I say according to the fastest reaction speed of our Soviet procedures, and at the moment the Iraqi side has broken through into Kuwait, and according to the war report that has just been delivered. ”
"The Kuwaiti resistance has been routed and the royal commander has been killed." Colonel Chebrikov added on the side.
"Oh, as expected, it's all a disparity in strength. Although the combat effectiveness of the Middle Eastern countries has always been criticized, there are also some of them that are worse or worse. Serov was not surprised at all, "Compared with the emirates that hugged the thighs of the United States, our luck is not the worst. Luckily......"
After speaking, he changed his lazy posture and spoke again, "Be careful of Israel, Israel has been very honest in recent years, but we can't completely ignore Israel's existence, do we need to take the initiative to remind Assad and Mobarak?" ”
"It should not be needed, the contradictions of Shatt al-Arab Israel are greater than the contradictions within Arab countries." "It would be very interesting if Israel joined the war," said Grishin, the first secretary of the Moscow city party committee. ”
"But we still have to put an end to this hidden danger, and we can't give Israel this time." Tsvigon was still worried that something would happen later, and that no one would want to see the long night, especially this time, the Soviet Union did not want to see the spoiler.
"It's basically impossible, and even if we start interfering now, we won't succeed." Serov is not lying, he is now issuing combat orders through the Ministry of Defense, and when the army goes south, Iraq will have occupied all of Kuwait by then, and he wants to succeed unless the Soviet soldiers are all lightspeed soldiers.
There is also the question of the fact that the White House of the United States will certainly exert pressure on the USSR as scheduled. Serov said not to look for me, Gromyko was solely responsible for everything. He didn't have time to play with the other party this time, not to mention that Reagan had gone down. This is because the challenges facing the United States are very enormous, and the conservative Bush has come to power under such circumstances. The difference is that Bush's victory this time was very difficult, and the votes of the two sides were very close.
It can be seen that after Reagan's counteroffensive was ineffective, some Americans already wanted to continue to live in peace with the Soviet Union. Of course, this kind of thinking is still suppressed for the time being, and if this situation continues, the United States in the 70s may not be able to reproduce it.
But since the outbreak of this war, such a foreseeable future is not possible. The moderate America of the Carter era was nothing more than a conservative treatment for the Soviet Union. When the United States finishes dealing with the country, it will also find an opportunity to come and scold the Soviet Union. Therefore, in Serov's eyes, conservative treatment is only to postpone a more intense confrontation.
Problems that can be solved now must be solved now. What's more, the Soviet Union has long been able to overtake the United States, and there are already so many allies in history that it is not enough to control Eurasia? Population, area, and resources are all there, and the only thing that is lacking is money, and money is paper. With the current foundation of the United States, it will not be able to support the dollar for a long time. The dollar is also not in circulation in Eurasia.
"Continue to do a good job of the latest intelligence work, of course, not only in the Middle East, the Fifth Fleet may be coming back." Serov waved the meeting to an end, whether it was too late or not. The United States is trying to save the country, whether it is in vain or in vain. If the United States does not react, it will lose 100 percent of the Middle East, and if it comes back now, there may be a 1 percent chance of reversing the situation.
In the Persian Gulf, the sun had just risen over the horizon at this time, and the news of Iraq's large-scale attack on Kuwait most directly put pressure on Bahrain's Fifth Fleet command, and Bahrain's defense was completely empty for decades. Simply from the announcement issued by Iraq, all the problems are concentrated in Kuwait, and Bahrain is safe for the time being.
This kind of taste without the protection of a strong military force is something that ordinary US soldiers have never experienced. Of course, they are not lacking in courage, but they are more adept at bullying the enemy with the weapons of the leading generation, and without such conditions, they will be a little unaccustomed.
The two American soldiers on duty on the beach walked and chatted while holding guns, and unlike those in the headquarters who liaised with the country and the Fifth Fleet, the two looked quite relaxed, and the ordinary soldiers were still not in their positions and did not seek their own affairs, and concentrated on doing their own things.
Apparently one of the duo has a talent for keyboard politicians, and maybe he will run for president or something after retiring, and while patrolling, he chatted about Iraq's war against Kuwait, which has been spread to the base.
"Now those cruise ships should hurry up and leave, right?" The younger soldier said, "There will definitely be an impact, but I don't know how our country is going to deal with it, will it interfere?" ”
The navigation time of the Persian Gulf is 20 hours, because this is the busiest waterway in the world, and it is very crowded at some times, but the real time of navigation is determined ten years ago, after the revolution, Iran issued a threat to the Strait of Holms, and then after hard negotiations, between 2 and 6 o'clock in the middle of the night, the oil tankers in the Persian Gulf will not move, to avoid collisions, and unknowable risks, you must know that now both sides of the Persian Gulf belong to the sphere of influence of the United States and the Soviet Union.
"Who knows? Once the war began, we had to consider the attitude of the Soviet Union, how could I, a soldier, know how likely it was to go to war with the Soviet Union? Apparently some of the older soldiers were a little worried, "That's not your average opponent. ”
The United States regarded the Soviet Union as a real opponent, and since it was an opponent on the same level as itself, it would not be easy to defeat, and from the perspective of an ordinary soldier, this kind of war could not be fought without fighting.
The veteran keyboard politician smiled and said, "The Soviet Union will not take the initiative to go to war with us, and they are not stupid." ”
While the two of them were chatting with their backs to the coast, a few kilometers away in the sea, a large number of Soviet-style amphibious tanks gradually appeared in the shallow waters of Bahrain, and not far behind these tanks, Iranian helicopter gunships flying at ultra-low altitude were moving forward against the sea, and in front of them, the coastline was already far away.
When the radar of the helicopter gunship found the island in front of it, both the helicopter gunship and the tank accelerated their speed to approach the island, and the commander stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the small island that was getting bigger with a scope, and found that the island was very quiet, but all Iranians knew what was hidden behind this quiet, where was the American military power village.
Finally, the exclamations of some Bahrainis who were covering the road caught the attention of the two, and when they turned back blankly, they were greeted by a huge war machine, and the Soviet-style helicopter gunships began to pull up, no longer flying close to the sea.
"Oops, it's the Soviets, they're at war with us!" The keyboard politician jumped up all of a sudden, directly pulled back into the military vehicle while still stunned, and slammed on the accelerator to escape from the coastal road. He had never seen Soviet soldiers, but he knew that these weapons were Soviet, either the Soviet Union or an ally of the Soviet Union, and this matter should be reported immediately.
The helicopter gunship swept low over the treetops, setting off a strong wind. The first amphibious tanks rushed to the coast, a listening car on the coastal road was crushed to scrap metal, and the elite Iranian troops, after several hours of crossing the sea, rushed to Bahrain, the base of the Fifth Fleet.
"Destroy all air defense facilities and prepare for the Airborne Forces!" The commander of the Army Aviation Division commanded with a walkie-talkie.
"Build a beachhead, go straight to the Bahrain royal palace, and don't get entangled with the US army." The Iranian commander, who opened the top of the tank, shouted, "The island of Bahrain that we did not take away will be returned to the arms of the motherland today." ”
The soldiers shouted and jumped down like dumplings. Holding his rifle aloft, he slowly moved forward. A tank that had climbed onto the sand pile let out a loud roar, leaped out of its hiding position, and when it reached its designated position, it suddenly stopped, and fired a shot at the Bahraini bunker on the beach.
Suddenly there was a rumble of helicopter propellers in the sky, followed by a rocket falling from the sky, and the sound of machine guns was heard at the same time as the rocket fell. With a bang, the rocket hit another pillbox, blasting concrete and steel bars everywhere, completely muting the first warrior to resist the Iranian attack.
Iranian helicopter gunships quickly dispersed and flew to the intended targets, and the island of Bahrain was ruled by Iran for too long. Almost ninety percent of the population is Shia, while the royal family believes in Sunnis and has good relations with Saudi Arabia. In this case, it is not difficult for Iran to find people who want to provide intelligence to the motherland, and after the revolution, Iran accepted the intelligence network of the Pahlavi kingdom and became more targeted, hoping to one day reclaim this strategically important island.
The gunship group had only a third of the fuel, and the amphibious tanks only a quarter. But for an island with an area of no more than a few hundred square kilometers, it is enough. In Iran, a large number of heavy transport planes lined up, and airborne troops carrying umbrellas and bags boarded the military planes in a neat row, and they couldn't wait. In order to get Bahrain back, some casualties are perfectly acceptable, and in front of this ultimate goal, a small loss is quite bearable.
