Chapter 192 The Seventh Army
Regardless of whether Hamas is right or not, it is always their brother. The Israelis want to fight Hamas and hurt civilians, which Iraq will never tolerate.
Faced with the current situation, Iraq's top leaders are divided into two aspects. On the one hand, they believe that it is time to teach Israel to prevent them from being so arrogant, while on the other hand, they believe that under the current situation, the reason for sending troops is not enough.
"Adnan, what do you think?" Kusai asked Defense Minister Adnan.
Adnan just now kept thinking about what Taha said. Taha said it very reasonably, and he vaguely felt that there was a deeper crisis in it.
"Our military has made all preparations. As long as you give orders, we can go to Israel's homeland at any time. We are absolutely not afraid of war. However, if we do this, internationally, we will not get support from the Western world. In every action, we are on the side of justice. Even if the Western world does not support it, we cannot let them find enough reasons to unite and sanction us." Adnan said, and suddenly thought of something: "Now, Bush has been promoting our threats. If we really do that now, then the charges will be confirmed in the United States and we will become the evil country in Bush's mouth."
Iraq is absolutely not afraid of war now. Their arrogant soldiers and generals can set foot on the West Bank at any time and help Arafat complete the great cause of unification. However, in doing so, they cannot gain a foothold in international morality.
What Iraq faces is not Israel at all, but what Iraq needs to face is the United States.
The tough and stubborn old guy from the United States has always been wearing tinted glasses to look at the Middle East. This guy is the enemy of their Arab world!
Although Iraq has been developing its own strength, until now, it is hard to say that it can be at the upper hand in the comprehensive struggle of the United States.
The United States has always been the most powerful country in the world!
"Perhaps we can mediate from it," said Barzan: "We, as intermediaries, mediate the struggle between Israel and Hamas from it, and end the current armed conflict."
Looking at the suggestions put forward by these people under his command, Kusai knew that although Iraq was already strong, they did not become arrogant because of this. When considering the problem, it was more comprehensive. This is a very good phenomenon.
If everyone said to start a war immediately and drive the Jews into the sea! If that is the case, then Kusai would have to worry.
Now, is it the final decisive moment?
"This time, it may be a good opportunity for Arafat." Taha spoke again: "We have raised the issue of Palestine's state to the United Nations, and the Gaza region is originally the territory of the Palestinian State. Now, Israel is launching a strike there, which is a serious violation of the sovereignty of the Palestinian State. Arafat should file a complaint with the United Nations, demanding that Israel stop these operations immediately, and that Israel's armed forces should withdraw there."
"The Israelites don't care about the resolutions of the United Nations at all," said Watban.
"Israel doesn't care, but we care!" said Taha.
Speaking of this, Kusai was moved. In this incident, Iraq could not carry out military operations, otherwise it would not be on the side of justice. Therefore, if Iraq sent troops now, it would definitely not be a good choice. However, after the proposal was made at the United Nations, the situation would be different. After all, after their repeated propaganda, the Palestinian State has begun to gradually enter the world's eyes.
Push Arafat to the forefront, after all, Arafat is the most qualified to challenge the Israelites. The Israelites' occupation of those areas was originally illegal. No matter how the Israelites advocated Hamas' attack on Jewish settlements, the Jews should not have appeared there.
Moreover, what Taha said obviously has another meaning, to suspend their direct military support for the Gaza Strip, which can help Arafat and eliminate competitors. Hamas is too violent and will not be controlled by Iraq, so the best way is to kill people with a knife.
"What we need now is to prepare for war and at the same time, waiting for the upcoming storm." Taha finally concluded.
The meeting was here, and Kusai received a confidential call from King Fahd.
King Fahd is also very concerned about the current situation in Palestine. So far, the only unstable factor in the Middle East is the only one left here.
Although Saudi Arabia's defense policy is neutral, Saudi Arabia has always been extremely indignant about Israel's ravages on their Palestinian brothers for decades, and Saudi soldiers are also active on the battlefield of the Middle East War.
Kusai picked up the phone and a firm voice rang out from the other end.
………
"This time Israel was violently attacked by Hamas, and in the hands of countless Israeli civilians, this fully demonstrates that this area is uneasy and in order to safeguard our interests, we must strengthen our military presence in Israel." Bush said.
Now, it is at the most critical stage of the election that conflicts in the Middle East are intensifying. At this time, Bush certainly has to seize this opportunity to build momentum for his election.
Especially, when Hamas started the attack, various media controlled by the Jews immediately began wonderful reports. When their cameras were aimed at the rockets flying like fireworks, they flew from the residential areas and flew to the Jewish settlements, they attracted the attention of the audience. They reported every day how many rockets Hamas fired, attacked Israel, and caused many casualties to Jewish civilians. However, they never reported that they subsequently launched retaliatory retaliation and dropped several bombs, causing many casualties to Palestinian civilians.
All of these have created an impression in the minds of Americans, as if the Arabs living there are all unreasonable violent people and terrorists. They are a very dangerous group and enemies of the United States.
The power of the media is huge, and the visual shocking effect makes them feel that the dangers of the Arabs seem to be really messed up by those people in the Arab countries.
The balance in the hearts of voters is slowly tilting towards Bush.
As one of Bush's most important strategy, Israel is the last place for the United States in the Middle East. Therefore, facing the current situation, Bush proposed to strengthen its troops in Israel.
"Now, although it is only a conflict between Palestine and Israel, we must be clear-headed that the Arab countries around us are eyeing each other and they will participate at any time. A new Middle East war may break out at any time. Moreover, unlike the previous Middle East wars, the military power of the Arab countries around us is much stronger than before, so we must make the worst plan." Cheney said.
What does the US garrison in Israel do? It is to stand up for the Jews. If they are lost, can the Americans still stay there?
After listening to Cheney's speech, Bush asked William beside him, "Have you found anything now?"
"Now, Saudi Arabia and Iraqi countries have no sign of gathering on the border yet. The Arab troops on the Golan Heights are also stationed normally. However, their troops have cancelled their leave and are fully equipped with live ammunition. Since Iraq now has sufficient strategic mobility, it is very easy if they want to participate." William said.
The current actions of the Iraqis can be understood as a response and preventive measure for the emergencies that are emerging, and at the same time, they are preparing for the pre-war period.
For Bush now, he hopes that Iraq can take the initiative to attack. In that case, the facts will prove that his judgment is correct, and his actions in the Middle East have been completely correct. Then, the American people's approval rating for him will be further increased, and they will definitely be able to get rid of Clinton.
"Can we transfer heavy troops to Israel now?" Bush asked Cheney.
"Yes, our Seventh Army can be transferred from Europe," Cheney said.
Seventh Army! Hearing Cheney say this, the generals present couldn't help but be amazed. This Secretary of Defense, who has not had a military career, speaks really boldly!
What is the Seventh Army? The Seventh Army is the main force stationed in Europe by the United States. In order to fight against the Soviet Union's steel torrent, this army was stationed in West Germany, and it has the highest degree of synthetic and strongest combat effectiveness.
This army includes the 1st Armored Division, the 3rd Armored Division, the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division, the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division, the 3rd Armored Division, the 2nd Armored Division (owed to the 1st Brigade), the 1st Cavalry Division (owed to 1 brigade) and the British 1st Armored Division, with a total of 7 division-level units, with the entire army reaching more than 100,000 troops.
This army is mainly used to prevent the Soviets. Is this army transferred here? Cheney isn't crazy?
Now, the US garrison in Israel is mainly the Air Force, and the Army only has one brigade of troops.
"The Seventh Army is mainly guarding against Soviet attacks and must not move," said a general.
"The Soviets are too busy to take care of themselves, Germany has been unified, and the combat mission of the Seventh Army there has been ended. Now, the main problem we are facing is that the Middle East, it is not enough for us to have an air force alone, and we must transfer the main army." Cheney said.
Soviet Union? The Soviets can no longer stay in Eastern Europe, so where will they launch another attack? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Piaotian. Registered members of the literature recommend this work. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
