Good generals are not warlike, but once a war begins, they will show their determination and courage to move forward. Norman Schwarzkopf said to Chang Lin with emotion: "From your country to the general himself, I understand
The reason for Tianhua’s existence.”
"Oh?" Chang Lin raised his head in surprise. What Norman said was very interesting.
"Commander Chang, you hate war, but you are braver than anyone else during the war!"
Chang Lin was surprised, looked at Norman and said: "The general is melancholy but romantic. He not only has excellent military theory training, but also has keen observation skills. I admire him!" [
Norman stretched out his hand and said to Chang Lin: "I want to arrange the headquarters first and return to your home as a guest in two days. Remember, I am interested in red wine and cigars. Let's talk in detail when the time comes."
"Okay, I will give you warm hospitality!" Chang Lin had a good impression of this old general in his fifties and said to Linsha next to him: "Bring a box of cigars to the general and send some fresh fruits to their headquarters.
.”
"yes!"
Aristide couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Chang Lin and Norman talking enthusiastically. He glanced at Webster and asked in a low voice: "I see a little fear in your eyes."
"Really?" Webster smiled bitterly: "I have known this guy for the longest time, and he has taught me several profound lessons!"
"God!" Aristide was frightened: "He wants to deal with you?"
"Instead of dealing with me, he pushed both me and the president to a dead end. He is a wolf, a wolf that eats people without spitting out their bones!" Webster's voice was very low, but General Norman walking in front could hear it clearly.
.
General Norman, who had stood his ground, turned around and said to Webster with a sneer: "The reason you annoyed him is because you think you are smart. If you give him intelligence methods, I'm sure you will be completely defeated!"
Webster was surprised. General Norman guessed the reason at once. He sighed and said: "I bear the responsibility of the country's security, there is nothing I can do about it!"
"You think your behavior can be hidden from him? Wrong! Let me tell you, I graduated from the University of Southern California, where I studied navigation engineering and received a master's degree in aerospace industry. You can't possibly know that our reconnaissance satellites are all
They monitor, all satellites are serving him!"
General Norman spoke very softly, and those who heard him were shocked by his statement. Webster's face turned pale, and he breathed rapidly and asked: "Is what the general said true?"
"Incredible!" Norman sighed and said to his subordinates: "Nothing is allowed on Paradise Island. Any soldier who dares to offend everything here will be punished by military law!"
"yes!"
Socotra is an egg-shaped island with a coastline of 300 kilometers, which is equivalent to 35 times that of Hong Kong. On the land at the northern pier, there is a small town two kilometers long. Taverns, cafes, high-end hotels and catering industries are very developed here.
The two tallest buildings are a bank building and a jewelry store.
When Norman and other generals returned here, they were all intoxicated by the peculiar buildings and beautiful beaches. They knew that everything here was constructed by man. It is very wonderful to sell surfing and sunbathing here.
"Director Webster, how much do you know about Paradise Island? Mr. Aristide, you have been here for a long time, how much do you know about this place?" Norman pondered and asked the two assistants around him.
"This" Aristide pinched his temples with his hands and said with a wry smile: "I can go to any corner of the island, and all I can see is the surface."
"Let me tell you, the troops here are no more than one reinforced division, but they are more powerful than our more than 200,000 people! On the surface, you can't see anything of value, because everything about them is not here!
"
Norman pinched his nose and stared at Webster: "You want to say that we can easily take this island? Hahahaha, wishful thinking! I understand, his army is not simple!" [
"General, do you want to use him to provide us with military intelligence on Iraq?" Webster was not an idiot and quickly understood the meaning of Norman's words.
"We can't be underestimated by him. Let's do the intelligence ourselves. I want to discuss the attack plan with him and want to hear his opinion." Norman walked forward and said to the adjutant behind him: "Make arrangements, I will
Go and visit him with Aristides."
"yes!"
On the second day of the meeting, Chang Lin did not entertain the respected general at his home. He took Wenxiu, Linsha and the two Americans and flew into the sky in a Talon helicopter.
Above the reservoir, Norman looked at this massive embankment. When he looked at the man-made plain, he said excitedly: "If my guess is correct, this place used to be a low hill."
"Yes, the highest is five hundred meters, and the lowest is more than three hundred meters." Chang Lin said with a smile: "There were not a single tree here at the beginning, and it was very bare and ugly. It took me three years of income and all my savings to complete it.
artificial forests and man-made fertile fields.”
"It's worth it! It will create tens of millions of times the total investment and will benefit you for life!" Norman implored again: "Go to your vegetable tree base and let me see it."
"Okay!" Chang Lin looked at Wenxiu and said, "Let the general be satisfied. He won't be able to sleep well."
The vegetable tree plantation is not large, only about 100 acres of land. In the middle is Liu Zixuan's research laboratory, and there is a large lawn in front of the house. When the plane landed, Liu Zixuan rushed out and cursed!
"Good boy, you ruined my lawn!"
"Hahaha!" Chang Lin laughed and said, "Look, my plane didn't touch the ground."
"Humph, I didn't tell you? Outsiders are not allowed to visit here!" Liu Zixuan saw Norman's general uniform, but still scolded Chang Lin angrily.
"The general is not an outsider, he is my friend." Chang Lin kept shaking his head and said to Norman: "This is my father-in-law, he is a stubborn old man."
"Mr. Liu, you have created miracles for the people of the world. I admire you." Norman stretched out his hand and said to Chang Lin: "He is a scientist, you should respect his suggestions."
When Liu Zixuan saw that the general was very friendly and understood the truth, he shook hands with him happily and said, "My daughter told me, I dare not disobey you! Wenxiu, don't blame dad."
"Quack, quack, quack." Wen Xiu laughed loudly and said to Liu Zixuan: "The guests are here, bring all the types of fruits you have cultivated."
"There are more than a hundred kinds. I'm not afraid of trouble, but he can't finish them all. My dear girls, the garden allows you to pick them by yourself. You can eat whatever you want!" Liu Zixuan slipped away, and ran away without even saying hello.
"It's so beautiful!" Norman stood under the tree excitedly, raising his head and watching as he walked. He said to Aristide: "Being able to work and live in such an environment is better than being a general."
Chang Lin smiled and said nothing. Wenxiu came over and said, "Come on, general, I will record a video tape for you. You will keep this moment forever!"
"On, on, I know everything here is a secret, and I can't break your rules." Norman resigned, unwilling to accept this honor.
"I have already thought about it and am ready to show everything here!" Wen Xiu smiled charmingly and immediately picked up the video recorder and started to work.
More than an hour later, several people sat on the lawn and started talking. Norman asked bluntly: "Commander Chang, once the war breaks out, how do you think this battle should be fought?" [
"Hey, I already know the general's plan!" Chang Lin laughed: "The [Desert Shield] operation plan is very good. First, rapid reaction forces and air strike forces will be deployed on the front lines of Jubail and Dhahran in Saudi Arabia to establish mobile
For defense, adopt the strategy of "exchanging space for time" to block possible attacks by the Iraqi army and ensure the subsequent arrival and deployment of follow-up troops."
Schwarzkopf was not surprised. He was more certain of his conjecture. The experienced general nodded frequently and said to Chang Lin: "If you come to fight this battle, what kind of military action will you use?"
"Simpler and more direct than yours, defeat more with less, and win quickly with asymmetric warfare!" Chang Lin said this arrogantly, looked at Schwarzkopf and smiled: "Can you believe it?
?"
"Believe it!" Schwarzkopf nodded seriously and said with emotion: "Your military ability may not be very brilliant, but the combat effectiveness of your equipment and soldiers is amazing."
"Hahahaha, I admire the general's straightforwardness!" Chang Lin smiled and said sincerely: "The general is indeed better than me, and our technological development and military manufacturing are really better than yours!"
"Commander Chang, please choose a target. I want to see your new military when the war begins." Schwarzkopf made the request directly without beating around the bush.
"This" Chang Lin hesitated for a moment and said: "Leave the attack on Baghdad to me. My soldiers will change into your military uniforms and go to fight. Of course, everything captured will be mine!"
Schwarzkopf was surprised. For this battle, various countries had prepared 1,300 aircraft of various types. How could Chang Lin have so many aircraft? Baghdad is the capital of Iraq. It has artillery units, guided air defense units, and how many more?
Hundreds of planes!
"I only use one regiment plus my guard battalion, and I will take back all the planes in Iraq!" Chang Lin was still laughing, but there was a firm look in his tone.
"How long will it take?" Schwarzkopf breathed nervously. Chang Lin's courage showed him.
"The battle ended in two hours!" Chang Lin laughed and said, "When I said the battle ended, I meant that I grabbed the plane and retreated."
"It's a deal!" Schwarzkopf hurriedly agreed and said gratefully: "You have snatched away the hardest bone to chew!"
"Hey, I'm a wolf, not a dog." Chang Lin explained jokingly.
"I don't understand, why do you want to wear our military uniform?" Schwarzkopf was surprised. This was a matter of showing his face. Did he
"General, I do this for several reasons. First, the general can become famous in the world, and I can hide from outsiders; second, it allows the Iraqis to bear their hatred on you, the United States, and I can secretly make a fortune.
"Three"
"Please speak!" Schwarzkopf was very interested, and he was not afraid that the Iraqis would hate the United States.
"Third, I will take the opportunity to rob the bank in Baghdad!" Chang Lin sneered and said forcefully: "I like to be a robber, but I don't like to be discovered by outsiders."
"Ah!" Schwarzkopf opened his mouth and exclaimed: "Are you setting us up?"
