Chapter 1114 Bush's response
The war in the Middle East suddenly started to burn without any signs. The news was just revealed that a bombshell was dropped by the whole world. When I first learned the news, almost all countries thought it was fake news. After repeated confirmation, we learned that Iraq and Iran were indeed in war again.
After the elite troops of Iran's raid landed, the war had begun in full swing. The Iraqi Air Force was in the north, and the Iranian Air Force rushed directly to Bahrain in the east. The cross-sea bridge connected to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia was directly blown up in the middle. In Bahrain, without any air defense firepower, the Soviet fighter jets crossing the border are the absolute air overlords of this area. The Soviet fighter jets have arrived at the predetermined bomb drop zone. Below is the Bahrain military camp. Armed personnel can be seen patrolling everywhere on the streets, and militias are consolidating the fortifications in this area and carrying out their final resistance.
However, there are not many difficulties in Bahrain. Ninety percent of Bahrain are Shiites and have no good feelings for the king of their country. As we all know, American soldiers can't control their crotch wherever they want to go. What does this mean in a country with strong religious beliefs? You can tell from the anti-American sentiment before the Iranian Revolution. A more distinctive example is that the military and political officials in a province during the Peanut period were unable to encounter such a thing, and it was like this that the loss of power and humiliation of the country.
Without external forces, the Bahrainians' dissatisfaction is only dissatisfaction. The Bahrainian army is not worth mentioning in front of the US garrison, let alone these unarmed people. But now it is different. The social order brought about by the war and the unprecedented chaos have made the Bahrainians who have always kept their dissatisfaction in their hearts become more courageous.
Why do countries that seem stable often cannot completely eradicate the hidden dangers of military coups? Because the army is also composed of ordinary people, and the army's loyalty to the country cannot be squandered without bottom line. The Bahrain army is not composed of a few Sunni people. They also come from the vast majority of Shiites, and they represent public opinion. When triggered under the conditions of war, it is natural for the army to make any choice.
After learning that the attacking party was Iran, the Bahrainians first joined the destruction. The news spread throughout the country of Bahrain very quickly. It is hard to imagine that this was a word of mouth, and it is not. Soon this situation that was beneficial to Iran spread to the army. Iran had established a secular government and religion was under management. However, the habits that have been around for thousands of years have not been easily reversed. Iran did not meet the state expected by the Soviet Union.
Bahrain has the power of Iran. Just among the Shiite groups, under their guidance, Iran's advance was very smooth under the defeat of most of the troops. Of course, there is still a king's troops in the Kingdom of Bahrain, which is certain.
Iranian fighter pilots, like before, during the training period of the Soviet Union, dropped all bombs into designated areas. According to intelligence, it was the base camp of Bahrain's royal supporters. The incendiary bombs were not densely placed on the locked area on the monitor. The moment they reached the ground, the orange-red fireball emitted by the explosion of the incendiary bombs covered the entire southern area. After the fireball rose, the fireballs were rolling smoke. The armed personnel who had no time to evacuate were burned into charred corpses by the fireballs. Heart-wrenching wails resounded throughout the city.
The subsequent Iranian armored forces launched an attack and attacked the palace under the cover of armed helicopter groups. The smoke of war spread throughout Bahrain, and the arrival of the two countries' air forces carried out intensive bombing of any military target.
The Iranian and Iraqi air forces successively bombed the Bahrain Palace, which was almost ruined, but did not harass the base of the US Fifth Fleet throughout the process, as if they had never seen it.
"The two countries still have some concerns!" Sherov, who had reached the late stage of cultivation, drooped his swollen eyelids, wondering if he wanted to use drugs to cheer up his spirits. "But there is no precedent. In the 1950s, our neighbors in the east also came to attack Chiang and not American ships at one time? Bullying the weak and fearing the strong. This is the case for any country, and our country is willing to do this, haha..."
The General Secretary fired a map cannon, which caused countless shots from countries around the world, but he was still very proud. In fact, the remaining forces of the US Fifth Fleet, currently left in Bahrain, are beneficial to the Soviet Union no matter what reaction they respond.
It is actually very difficult to drive Iran into the sea. Iran's navigator, amphibious troops and airborne troops have a total of nearly 30,000 people. If the Fifth Fleet is supported, Selov believes that there is no problem with the US imperialism in carrying out imperialist punishment. Unfortunately, the Fifth Fleet is not there and there is no heavy army group in the local area, which is very embarrassing.
If there is no reaction, it means that imperialism is a paper tiger. The Soviet Union is happy to see it. It will also promote it so that all the Soviet allies can see that Americans dare not move when facing the Middle East, so they are completely vulnerable.
"The Soviet Union was shocked by Iraq and Iran's actions. Once again, we must declare that the Soviet Union is not aware of the actions of the two countries and is closely watching the development of the situation, just like all countries." Gromiko, who is still in Cairo, faces reporters from all over the world to clear the current war and the Soviet Union, but has not forgotten to put on a fire, and said in a speculative tone, "Maybe, this is also the first step in the unification of the Arab world."
As soon as this statement comes out, the whole world is in an uproar. For politicians, the unity of the Arab world is the most terrifying thing. It is almost equivalent to the emergence of the second Soviet Union, and it will be even more terrifying. Goodwill towards Arabia is entirely based on the division of the entire Arab world. There is a trend of unity in the Arab world, which is when countries work together to kill and show imperialist unity.
Arab nationalism has been spreading for a long time, and Egypt is still adhering to Nasser's proposal. Gaddafi in Libya and Assad in Syria are all interested in this. The threat of Arab unity in this world is much greater than the history that Selov is familiar with.
Selov also knew this, but still asked Gromiko to support him. As a general secretary who loves to cross the line, he is willing to test where the bottom line of world harmony is. This does not mean that the Soviet Union will support Arab reunification, because Selov knows what the Soviet Union supports, the United States will oppose it. Specifically for Arab reunification, it is not only the United States that opposes. The Soviet Union can completely act like anger, fight for the support of Arab countries, and let the opposing countries take the blame.
In less than a day, the organized resistance of Bahrain had disappeared, and the Kuwait royal family quickly retreated and began their journey to exile in Saudi Arabia, announcing the establishment of an exile government in Riyadh. The war was of course not over, but it had shown that some of the overall situation had been decided, but the United States did not think so.
The White House of the United States, Bush, who had just been in the presidency for a few months, was ashamed of water. His journey to ascending to the presidency was not easy. Because of the mistakes caused by Reagan in the last two years, the United States developed a great sense of distrust of the Republican Party. However, the blessings of misfortunes depend on both sides of the matter. Because of some difficulties in the United States, the Republican Party has expanded its basic foundation.
This is the case in many cases. When the economy is prosperous, parties with the overflowing heart of the Virgin are prone to gain power. The national economy stagnates, and the right-wing propositions will often become more likely to be recognized, and populism will also rise. The basics of the Republican and Democratic Party have been greatly improved in this election in which Bush participated.
It is also because of this that the Republican Party won this election very hard, and the two parties in the United States have unprecedented opposition. There are basically no middle-votes in this election. The Republican Party can win because the basic market is larger and the threat of the Soviet Union is becoming stronger and stronger.
"The three Iraqi divisions suddenly crossed the border to attack Kuwait, and at the same time Iran drew elite troops to form an assault cluster to attack Bahrain. We can be sure that the two countries must have said hello before they start, because Iraq and the Iranian air force are fighting together, but at present, you don't know the role of the Soviet Union. So far, Soviet Foreign Minister Gromiko has cleared the relationship between the Soviet Union and this matter." The new Minister of Defense Dick Cheney spoke, introducing the latest situation in a slew and said, "I personally think that the Soviet Union is definitely aware of it."
"Is it possible that the Soviet Union deliberately sent out the Red Navy fleet to lead us away and create conditions for the attacks between Iraq and Iran!" Secretary of State Addison Baker raised this question, and he had to doubt it, which was actually a bit too coincidental.
"It's not that there's no such possibility, but!" Defense Minister Dick Cheney said with difficulty. "If it were really the Soviet Union who did this on purpose, wouldn't it be a little too international?"
With the bait of the two main fleets of the Soviet Red Navy, in order to help two of the dozens of allies, the United States cannot do this anyway. The Soviet Union has to bear any losses suffered by itself. This is equivalent to gambling with the property of the Soviet people, and all the benefits are given to Iraq and Iran. Who has ever done this?
"Don't worry about whether the Soviet Union has a motive!" Although Bush's proposal was similar to Reagan, he was not the actor. He would not want the Soviet Union to take the blame for anything and solve the problem. Instead, he found a way to solve the problem first and then put it aside. "Order the Fifth Fleet to turn around and notify Australia to negotiate with Indonesia."
"Convene the United Nations General Assembly immediately to criticize Iraq and Iran for pursuing regional hegemony and aggression against sovereign states." Bush thought, "Let the Congress hold a meeting to discuss, and pay special attention to international public opinion during this period. If public opinion allows it!" Bush did not finish his words, and if public opinion allows it, he would beat him.
Chapter completed!
