The war drum of the trade war sounded, and the smoke of gunpowder in the Bay Area was rising

As early as the 20th, Pan Yunsheng issued a "red alarm": the US military has completed assembly and combat deployment, and war may break out at any time.

On the 26th, at 11:30 Beijing time, Pan Yunsheng hurriedly left the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

15 minutes ago, an optical phase reconnaissance satellite passed over the Gulf area and took hundreds of photos. The intelligence analyst of the Military Intelligence Bureau processed the photos as fast as possible, identified more than 20 valuable photos from them, and then sent them to the director.

After getting the photos, Pan Yunsheng called Peng Maobang first and rushed to the head of state.

"The situation is clear, and the war will break out in four hours."

Zhao Rundong wore reading the satellite reconnaissance photos sent by Pan Yunsheng very carefully and carefully.

Seeing that Zhao Rundong was not in a hurry, Pan Yun took a few sips of cigarettes and calmed down.

Soon, Peng Maobang rushed over.

"Xiao Pan, is the war going to begin?" As before, Peng Maobang was still impatient.

"So, the fuse has been lit."

"Old Peng. Look at the photos." Zhao Rundong handed the photos to Peng Maobang and took off his glasses. "Xiao Pan. Please introduce the situation."

"The photo is the first time taken from the bay during the day, through an optical reconnaissance satellite from the bay. The photo taken at the site of the site number 1704261183 is northwest of the US Marines' Basra Base." Seeing Peng Maobang flipped over the photo, Pan Yunsheng continued. "The image is very clear. A US military convoy heading to the port was attacked. The casualties were very heavy. The photo number 1704261184 is a partial enlarged image. You can see the bodies of several armed personnel attacking the US military convoy. Although no relevant information has been received yet.

It is certain that the US military will announce the attack on the convoy as the ‘Islamic Mujahideen Liberation Organization’. The organization is a Shiite armed force in secret support from Iran. It has been operating in southern Iraq. The political purpose is to overthrow the Iraqi government in the United States and establish a new regime controlled by Shiites. Since Japer announced his withdrawal from Iraq, the organization has been attacking the US and Iraqi Defense Forces stationed in Iraq. In recent years, the organization has also annexed several smaller Shiite armed forces and established the ‘Shiite Joint Revolutionary Front’.”

"In other words, the United States is going to put shit on Iran's head?" Peng Maobang quickly asked.

Pan Yunsheng was stunned for a moment and then said, "That's about it."

"Can it prove that this has nothing to do with that... what Liberator organization?"

Pan Yunsheng shook his head and said, "No matter whether it was planned secretly by Cia, it is difficult to prove that the attack on the US military convoy was not the 'Islamic Mujahideen Liberation Organization'. The attackers who were shot dead by the US military are likely members of the organization, but the location of the shooting may not be at the attack site. Even if we can prove it, what's the use?"

Zhao Rundong picked up the cigarette and sighed secretly.

"Will the United States declare war first, or not?" Peng Maobang asked a key question.

"A few other photos can illustrate the problem." Pan Yunsheng glanced at the photo on Peng Maobang's hand. "After the attack, the US military in the Gulf region immediately entered combat readiness. US fighter jets were preparing to take off at nearby air bases, and ground troops deployed in Iraq were driving out camps. Although the US aircraft carrier battle group was not captured, it is certain that the US fleet had also entered combat readiness. Within two hours, the US military could launch an air strike. The question now is whether Frederick would choose to fight without declaration."

"Maybe Frederick will announce it to the public after completing the first round of aerial strikes.

”

Hearing Zhao Rundong's words, Peng Maobang couldn't help but nodded.

"This is also the result of our analysis. The US military will launch an air strike on Iran within four hours and strive to disintegrate Iran's national air defense forces within twenty-four hours. If everything goes well, the bombing will last for one week to half a month. Then the US ground forces will enter Khuzestan Province and occupy the richest areas in Iran."

Peng Maobang frowned slightly and looked at Pan Yunsheng.

Pan Yunsheng knew very well the meaning of the Chief of Staff, but he had no right to make a decision.

"Contact Iran's intelligence department immediately." Zhao Rundong breathed a sigh of relief, "Issuing the highest level of war alarm, whether I can withstand the US military's bombing depends on Iran's performance."

Pan Yunsheng didn't say much, and immediately walked to the desk and picked up the phone and microphone.

"Lao Peng, have our local personnel withdrawn?"

"The first batch of military instructors retreated a few days ago." Peng Maobang lit another cigarette, "After the war broke out, other military personnel must be withdrawn as soon as possible."

"Let the 'China Capital Company' arrange it, and we should not interfere directly."

Peng Maobang nodded and took a few sips of cigarettes.

"I've contacted it." Pan Yunsheng walked over, "I arranged for the intelligence counselor of the Embassy in Tehran to contact the Iranian intelligence department directly, and the message will be sent within half an hour."

Zhao Rundong nodded. "In this way, we can only wait for the result."

Pan Yunsheng Dark

After a while.

This is Zhao Rundong's problem. He is not "active" in doing things. If it were Ji Youguo, he would directly say "What should we do?"

"What should we do if Iran cannot withstand the US military's bombing?" Peng Maobang would take the initiative.

Zhao Rundong hesitated for a moment and looked at Pan Yunsheng.

"There are not many choices." Pan Yunsheng picked up the cigarette and did not rush to light it. "It seems that sending troops to the war will definitely not work. In addition to continuing to provide weapons and equipment to Iran, all we can do is provide intelligence assistance to Iran."

"Intelligence aid plays a big role." Peng Maobang sighed and said, "During the Fourth India-Pakistan War, the United States provided intelligence aid to India. During the East China Sea War, the United States also provided intelligence aid to Japan. As a result, we all know that in the case of huge differences in strength, the role of intelligence aid is quite limited. Even if we tell Iran about the deployment of US ground forces, the accuracy of US military bases, and the activities of US fleets, Iran can only defend passively and cannot pose a threat to the US military."

"In addition, we must also consider the issue of importing weapons and equipment into Iran."

Pan Yunsheng nodded and said, "Old Zhao is right. After the war begins, the United States will definitely block Iran. We cannot provide weapons and equipment to Iran by sea. It is okay to say that as long as Pakistan turns a blind eye, it can fly to Iran by way of air transportation. If other weapons and equipment are transported by air, the cost will be very high, and many heavy weapons cannot be transported by air. To go through ground transportation channels, we must negotiate with Pakistan."

"Pakistan may not allow weapons and equipment to pass through Iran." Zhao Rundong said the latter sentence.

Peng Maobang frowned slightly and said, "We can transport weapons and equipment into Pakistan in our name and then hand them over to Iran."

"The problem is not that simple." Zhao Rundong shook his head, "The United States will definitely put pressure on Pakistan and even threaten Pakistan. If Pakistan does not let go of this issue, we have to consider other solutions."

"Except for Pakistan, we can only take the Caspian Sea and Lake shipping route. However, Caspian Sea coastal countries, including Russia, may not necessarily pass our weapons and equipment."

"That depends on whether Russia secretly supports Iran."

Zhao Rundong glanced at the two and said, "Russia has always opposed the United States' war against Iran and has been selling arms to Iran before. If Russia can gain a little benefit, it may be able to transport weapons and equipment from Russia through the Caspian Sea channel to Iran."

Pan Yunsheng and Peng Maobang both nodded and looked at Zhao Rundong.

"I'll be on the phone with Nedmeff as soon as possible."

"It's better to let Huang Guowei meet the Russian ambassador first, reveal what we know to Russia, and then call Nedmev for hotline after understanding Russia's attitude."

After hearing what Pan Yunsheng said, Zhao Rundong nodded immediately. "You should send someone to tell Huang Guowei the news and ask him to summon the Russian ambassador immediately."

Half an hour later, the Russian ambassador arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State Council.

Almost at the same time, the Russian Foreign Minister also summoned the Republic's ambassador to Russia and informed the latest situation of the Russian reconnaissance satellite discovery through diplomatic channels.

Both sides understand the intentions: secretly supporting Iran.

At noon that day, Zhao Rundong spoke with Russian President Nedmev.

Although the two chatted on the phone for less than a minute, the two heads of state reached the most important agreement.

The Republic will transport weapons and equipment sold by the Republic into Iran by paying "special tolls" through the Neihu waterway from Astrakhan, the Russian Neihu port located north of the Caspian Sea to Anzali Port, Iran's Neihu port, located in Caspian Sea, to the Neihu port of Anzali Port in Iran in Caspian Sea.

Because it was a secret operation, the two sides did not sign any paper agreement.

According to the oral agreement reached by the leaders of both sides, the "special toll" will be paid on time, that is, after the weapons and equipment arrive in Astrakhan and load them on the freighter, the "China Heavy Industry Corporation" will have to pay the relevant payments to Russia, and Russia will release the freighter.

After 1 pm that day, the container cargo ship "Zhongsheng" originally planned to travel to Iran was from Guangzhou to Dalian. The weapons and equipment on the freighter will be ashore in Dalian and transported to the Sino-Russian border port by railway, and then transported to Astrakhan by a railway line that runs across Russia.

At this time, the US-Iran war had already broken out.

On the 26th, Tehran time (equivalent to 130 Beijing time), 12b-2 and 20 F-22s took off from Digo Garcia Air Base in the central Indian Ocean. Three hours later, nearly 200 combat aircraft of the US Air Force from five large air bases in the Gulf region and more than one combat aircraft of the US Navy took off from six aircraft carriers that arrived in the war zone.

112, a heavy drilling bomb dropped from a b-2 hit the Iranian Air Force's Land and Air Defense Command in the mountains in southern Tehran.
