Iraq's invasion of Kuwait shocked the whole world. August 3, 1990, this day is even more unforgettable. U.S. President Bush chaired a plenary meeting of the National Security Council to study countermeasures. The meeting finally decided to adopt large-scale military deployment
actions to force Iraq to withdraw its troops and prepare for military strikes if necessary.
However, the Arabian Sea is blocked!
The world was in an uproar. In order to force Iraq to withdraw its troops, Bliss Island blocked the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea. He wanted Saddam to not be able to sell a drop of oil, and he wanted to trap the invaders in his own territory!
"What the hell is going on in Paradise Island?" Bush was dumbfounded. Once Chang Lin blocked the Arabian Sea, his own military operations could not be implemented. Is the plan of the 38-nation coalition led by the United States to send troops to the Gulf just stranded?
?[
"Your Excellency, I thought this was one of his moves, a very good move!" Aristedt had been in contact with Chang Lin a lot, so he naturally had some suspicions about his strategy.
"Please speak." Bush listened attentively. Aristide and Chang Lin have a good relationship, which is also a good thing for the United States.
"Forcing all countries to join together, we must join together to fight Iraq for the sake of oil!" Aristide's voice was full of joy, pointing to Paradise Island and said: "We will set up the headquarters on Paradise Island, he will agree to this proposal
.”
"I understand, he is being pretentious, and his real purpose is for financial gain!" Bush laughed, and said jokingly to Aristide: "Tell him that we will hand over all logistics supplies to Paradise Island and pay to rent his dock.
Until the end of the war."
"OK!" Aristide smiled. Bush's decision was a wise one.
Iraq's armed invasion and occupation of Kuwait triggered the Gulf crisis. The Soviet Union changed its normal attitude of opposing the United States in regional conflicts around the world in the 40 years after the war. On August 3, the United States and the Soviet Union reached a consensus.
The United Nations Security Council and member states responded to the Gulf crisis in an unprecedented, extremely rapid and almost unanimous manner. These resolutions placed Iraq in an extremely isolated position politically, economically, militarily and diplomatically.
Aristide and Chang Lin talked on the phone. Two American aircraft carrier battle groups were ordered to sail to the Gulf less than an hour after Iraq invaded Kuwait. The South China Tiger admired it, and everyone under his command admired it. Chang Lin's move was so brilliant.
Force them to pay war dividends to Paradise Island in advance!
"You are so cunning! They have to pay for food and accommodation, but the port and terminal are rented out at such a high price!" The South China tiger was surprised. Chang Lin led others by the nose, and instead of being angry, they were happier.
"Because I stand with them!" Chang Lin smiled and said slyly: "What are Americans most afraid of? Afraid that we will sell weapons to Iraq and that we will support Iraq."
"Are we not going to join the war?" Yang Xiaoyong looked regretful and deliberately glanced at Gao Yishan.
"Joining the war? Do you think that the multinational forces will definitely win this war? Yes, they have advanced weapons and the most powerful navy and air force. But I tell you, the war will definitely be victorious at the beginning, but it will still be won in the end.
Falling into a protracted war!"
Chang Lin reminded the militants that this was a war with more losses than gains. The South China Tiger sighed: "You are right! No country can occupy other people's land forever. Don't think that we can go south to Socotra Island.
I thought it was amazing because there were no resisters here!”
"Commander, I thought we could fight!" Meng Tiezhu stood up and said, stroking his bald chin: "Let's attack the Iraqi tank troops, air force and artillery, and retreat after getting the spoils."
"Hahahaha!" Chang Lin couldn't help laughing and said to the old man: "You might as well let me take over the war, and also bring tanks, planes, and cannons."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. The main forces of a country are the air force and armored forces. The old man has such a good appetite that he wants to eat them all. The South China Tiger thought deeply: "I agree with General Meng's proposal. Let's fight a war and defeat our army."
We will use our power to fight a modern high-tech war and let the military powers take a look!"
"The drunkard is not interested in drinking." Chang Lin understood the South China Tiger's thoughts and said to Wenxiu: "Send out human reconnaissance planes. I want to know the movements of the Iraqi army and all the intelligence!"
"yes!"
Arisid came, CIA Director William Webster came, Lieutenant General Khalid, Commander of the Saudi Arabian Armed Forces, and General Schwarzkopf, Commander of the U.S. Central Headquarters, also came.[
There were no commercial ships in the blockaded Arabian Sea. All that appeared were the navy and aircraft flying in the sky. They boarded the large dock on the north side of Paradise Island and were all shocked by the modern facilities here.
"Friends, this is a modern dock. It has enough facilities to allow your headquarters to achieve unexpected results. Aristed is very familiar with this place. Please ask him to arrange everything on my behalf." Chang Lin was very decisive and vacated the dock.
handed over to the U.S. coalition.
"Commander Chang, I want to visit your headquarters." General Schwarzkopf, commander of the U.S. Central Headquarters, smiled and said in proficient Chinese.
"Oh? Visit my headquarters? Okay, please come with me!" Chang Lin was surprised, but still agreed to the capable General Schwarzkopf.
In November 1988, Schwarzkopf was promoted to a four-star general and served as commander-in-chief of the U.S. Central Command. During this period, he conducted research on regional conflicts, low- and medium-intensity operations, desert operations, and special forces operations.
On August 2, 1990, the Gulf War broke out, and Schwarzkopf quickly formulated the "901002" combat plan to curb Iraq's entry into Saudi Arabia.
He believes that Iraq's strength lies in its large ground forces and chemical weapons, while its sea and air forces are not a threat. The U.S. military, which is well-equipped and has sea, air and electromagnetic control, can first destroy it through powerful firepower from the air and sea.
Iraq's defense system.
He had heard about Tianhua's military affairs many times. This time he was lucky enough to come to Paradise Island and must observe it on the spot. Seeing Chang Lin's cheerful agreement, he thought to himself: "What will he let me see?"
?”
The headquarters of Paradise Island is on the edge of the lake in Chang Lin's Paradise City. When the group came to this beautiful city, they were all shocked by the strange dragon blood trees here. They stood by the lake for a long time and refused to leave.
, forgot the headquarters he wanted to visit.
"Everyone, please!" Chang Lin smiled proudly. The Presidential Palace is comparable to a beautiful castle. Anyone who comes there for the first time will be obsessed with it.
"What a beautiful building, what a beautiful lake, what a beautiful landscape forest and flowers and plants!" Admiral Schwarzkopf praised repeatedly, and said sincerely to Chang Lin: "Soctra Island used to be a virgin, but now it has become a noble island.
Woman!"
"Hahahaha." Chang Lin looked at the humorous Schwarzkopf and said with a hearty smile: "It used to be just an ugly duckling, without showing any beauty."
During the Vietnam War, the U.S. military not only experienced multiple orders and chaotic command, but also experienced an embarrassing situation rarely seen in the history of the U.S. military: the mutual distrust between the battlefield commander and the civilian president and his assistants reached its peak.
the point.
So in the end, the president simply made a sandbox model of the Vietnam battlefield in the White House, and used modern communication methods to directly command frontline school-level officers and ground troops from the White House.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the U.S. military took another big step forward in the reform of the combat command system based on the lessons learned from the war and the principle of separation of combat command and administrative leadership. That was the Army who first proposed it, and then
A new command and control theory called "mission order" accepted by the air force and navy.
After the "Desert One" operation carried out by the US Special Forces in 1980 (the operation to rescue the US embassy hostages held by Iran) failed miserably due to the direct intervention of civilian leaders, the US leaders finally admitted that civilians are civilians after all and can no longer do it.
It's a matter of ancestral tradition.
Walking into the headquarters, a modern military command post with complete internal facilities and extremely strong survivability once again gave everyone a powerful feeling. The combat command center, space defense operations center and computing center are responsible for automatically collecting and processing air information, and mastering
They have never seen the dynamics of the air situation in this defense zone, the various systems and equipment used to identify incoming targets and direct troops to conduct interception operations.
"Let's visit Paradise Island at the command headquarters." Chang Lin nodded lightly, and Wen Xiu began to direct the computer team to get busy. The officers standing saw the artificial plateau on the three giant screens in the command hall.
The appearance of the reservoir and the City of Paradise.
"Stop!" Schwarzkopf shouted hurriedly and said to Chang Lin: "I want to inspect your vegetable tree plantation on the spot."
"General Schwarzkopf, you are interested in my vegetable tree, but you are more interested in its other things, right?" Chang Lin laughed, revealing Schwarzkopf's intentions with one sentence.
"The United States is blocking high technology. It is so arrogant!" Schwarzkopf sighed and said to Chang Lin and the South China Tiger: "Tianhua's science and technology and military have long been famous, and today I saw that they are well-deserved."
"Every inch has its shortcomings and its strengths. The United States is of course powerful, but what I admire most is not your technology and military, but your people and attitude." Chang Lin smiled and said: "Look, if I dare to block the Arabian Sea, I can also block it.
Blockade! Do you think the United States can achieve this kind of blockade?" [
Chang Lin leaned over and tapped on the computer keyboard, and the plane hidden in the sky appeared in front of everyone. The picture it sent back showed all the dynamics of the U.S. Navy and Air Force on the screen.
"Can it be invisible? Can it avoid satellite detection?" Schwarzkopf is an expert, and he can tell at a glance how advanced the humans and machines in the sky are.
"Hahahaha." Chang Lin smiled and said nothing, and asked all the guests: "How is this headquarters? Let me tell you, I can talk to any of my soldiers here, let alone the commanders."
