Chapter 386 Supporting Iraq
Of course not! Since becoming the president of Iraq, Saddam has visited surrounding countries. Countries such as Saudi Arabia are extremely dissatisfied with HMN's export of revolution and have expressed absolute support for Saddam's proposals!
Those Persians who want to restore the former Persian Empire are simply dreaming! The Persians who want to stir up chaos in the entire Middle East are simply damned!
The support Saddam received was unprecedentedly strong, and he only needed one last support, which was the Soviet Union!
The Soviet Union seems to have started to take action recently. For example, Andrei, the brightest rising star of the Soviet army, came to the Turkestan Military District as the commander of the military district. For example, the army of Turkestan began to increase gradually! For example, this time, at the invitation of the Soviet Union, General Andrei quickly came to Iraq!
"Using ancient religious laws to rule the entire country is a historical regression. Women were already open to working in various factories, but now they are tied to their homes, which makes the country lose half of its labor force. This is a regression of the national economy. We don't want to see this happen, especially since some people are still unwilling to give up and want to promote this system to the entire Middle East, trying to establish a country ruled by an extremist organization in the Middle East! We are deeply disturbed by this." Andre said: "My personal opinion is to support any action of your side. If necessary, we can even send troops to help."
Personal opinion! As long as you know Andrei's background and the reason why Andrei climbed to the position of military district commander in a short period of time, you can know that this general's personal opinion is often the opinion of Moscow!
Moscow supports his actions! Then he can go all out. If necessary, Moscow will send troops to help him directly!
"General Andre, we still need some weapons. For example, our Scud missiles do not have a long enough range. If you can export us ballistic missiles with a longer range, we will have greater confidence," Saddam said to Andre.
Ballistic missiles! Saddam had always been fond of this kind of weapon. He got Scud missiles from Moscow, but he was not satisfied with their range.
"This is a restriction of international regulations. We cannot launch missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers." Andre said, "We have no other options. However, we can send rocket experts to help you improve your Scud missiles. For example, we can split three Scud missiles into two and add more fuel to greatly increase the range."
Are you kidding? Missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers are impossible to export. The exporting countries also have to consider their own strategic security. What if Iraq turns against the Soviet Union one day and has missiles with a longer range, it will still be a threat to the Soviet Union.
With the current improvements on the Scud, although the range has been increased, the payload has been greatly reduced. It is just a weapon of psychological deterrence and has lost its practical combat value. This thing can only be given to Saddam.
After hearing Andre's words, although Saddam was not very satisfied, he could completely accept it. After all, the other party had agreed to help him improve the Scud missiles. What he needed was a longer range, and this goal had been achieved.
"Mr. President, compared to one or two weapons, you need a change in military thinking. Excuse me, although your army is constantly purchasing advanced weapons to achieve higher combat effectiveness, your military thinking has not changed. Many commanders are still stuck in the fighting style of the World War II era, which is far behind. If you want to attack a country, you should have a higher military quality. For example, the attack of armored forces must be linked to the seizure of air supremacy. The Air Force must not only seize air supremacy, but also provide cover for the ground troops. In air-ground integrated operations, it is even necessary to use a large number of helicopters to implement leapfrog tactics to quickly divide and encircle the enemy's troops." Andre said: "In these aspects, our Soviet commanders are very capable. If we let our commanders help your army command, your attack will be more rapid. What do you think?"
Ask the Soviet commander to take command? Hearing this, Saddam could not help but be alert in his heart. Of course, this would not work! Now, there are a large number of Soviet personnel in the air force. Almost all of our air force listens to the Soviet advisers. If there are a large number of Soviet commanders in the ground forces, wouldn't we become another republic of the Soviet Union?
No, of course not!
"I'm sorry, General Andre, I have great confidence in our army and I believe they will be able to complete our Iraqi historical mission." Saddam said, "Thank you for your kindness."
This guy is very confident in his army. Andre couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. In history, the Iran-Iraq War was so tragic that the war was almost fought with human lives. It was ridiculed by Western military strategists. Since Saddam did not accept his kindness, let them fight on their own. A strong Iraq is not in line with the Soviet Union's interests in the Middle East.
"Okay, then please notify me when you need us. Our Turkestan Military District is ready." Andre said.
This sentence gave Saddam extremely strong confidence. With the support of the Soviet Union and Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries behind him, what else did he have to fear!
The great Mesopotamian Babylonian Empire will be rebuilt in my own hands! Now, I will start by destroying Persia!
As a jihadist government that was founded by revolution, it must be tough in the face of all foreign enemies! For example, now, the Americans have begun to invade Iran! The American army appeared on the streets of Tehran, trying to overthrow the Iranian regime!
The Iranian government’s propaganda certainly would not say that this small force came to rescue the hostages. This was clearly a conspiracy by the United States, a conspiracy to subvert its own country and re-establish the Pahlavi rule!
Iranians are angry!
The bodies of the American soldiers who were killed were trampled by the Iranians, and the living Americans were also beaten by the Iranians! Screams echoed in the Iranian Embassy. Every man was beaten inhumanely, even Ambassador Sullivan. Four of his teeth were knocked out!
The United States is suffering unprecedented humiliation!
