Chapter 1139 South Union
During Clinton's administration, the US economy experienced stable and rapid growth. As a country that helped the United States return to the ranks of world powers, Clinton made an indelible contribution.
However, although Clinton criticized Bush for only understanding military affairs during his campaign, he still raised the stick of force without hesitation in the later stages of Clinton's second president...
Their goal is Yugoslavia!
During the Tito era, Yugoslavia experienced a period of stable development, without being influenced by the Soviet Union, and insisted on following its own path. The structure of light and heavy industries was still reasonable.
However, Yugoslavia is a multi-ethnic country. Tito relied on his own to combine Yugoslavia. However, after his death, Yugoslavia lacked such a person with sufficient influence.
The separatist forces in Yugoslavia have begun to rise.
During the drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the collapse of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia also split into several countries. Among them, the Federation of Yugoslavia was composed of the Republic of Serbia and the Republic of Montenegro.
In the southwest of the Republic of Serbia in the Federal Republic of Yugosla, there is a region adjacent to Albania and Macedonia with a population of more than 2 million, of which more than 90% are Albanians. The Albanians in this Kosovo region have always wanted to split.
In 1998, Albanian militants established the armed organization "Kosovo People's Liberation Army" and began a separation movement using violent means. Faced with the resistance of the Albanians, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Serbian authorities led by Milosevic took tough suppression measures and sent a large number of Serb troops and police forces to Kosovo, trying to eliminate the "Kosovo People's Liberation Army".
The civil war in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia officially broke out.
With the pace of NATO's eastward expansion, their ambitions began to grow. Seeing the chaos in Kosovo, they extended their hands to the interior of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
The war within the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is the internal affairs of this country, but NATO, led by the United States, is still making trouble here.
On February 6, 2000, under pressure from the United States and NATO, representatives of Albanians and Kosovo held a peace talk in Paris, and the U.S. envoy Hill drafted a plan to resolve the conflict between the two sides.
Respect the territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Kosovo enjoys a high degree of autonomy. The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia forces withdrew from Kosovo, the "Kosovo People's Liberation Army" was disarmed, and a new police force was formed according to the proportion of the local residents to maintain public order. NATO sent multinational troops to Kosovo to ensure implementation.
It was originally an issue within the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, but the United States and NATO acted as world policemen and proposed a plan to both sides, which both sides must accept.
This is difficult for both sides to accept. The Albanians must not be disarmed. They just want to do so. Without an army, they are just empty talk. The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia did not agree to Kosovo as the autonomous republic, and even more so did NATO troops stationed in Kosovo. This was originally the land of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, so what was the matter with NATO?
During the Cold War, the two sides were in a confrontation, and now they have to accept such a condition. It is simply ironic. NATO will put its feet here and garrison troops here.
However, the United States and NATO said that the content of this plan cannot be changed and must be accepted, otherwise the rejection will be punished. The talks were stalemate for more than a month.
Finally, on March 15, the Albanian representative signed the agreement on the 18th, but Serbia still refused to sign. For Milosevic, this condition is unacceptable, otherwise, he would become a sinner of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
However, this time the United States contacted NATO countries, unified its thinking, and was hoping to regain the original feeling through a war.
After NATO issued an ultimatum deadline to the Confederacy, the Confederacy War broke out.
On March 24, NATO launched an air strike against Yugoslavia.
Countless fighter planes flew through the sky and threw bombs towards the land of the Confederate Yugoslavia. This time, if they need to bomb, they will surrender to the Confederate Yugoslavia and let Milosevic step down and accept their trial!
Before Clinton stepped down, this action showed that he was also a person who dared to use force when necessary, the powerful war machine of the United States, and there was no problem in dealing with small countries like Yugoslavia.
In this operation, they used all the air force, using only the air force to destroy a country's war potential and make them surrender through non-contact strikes. This is their goal.
In this bombing, the United States not only used f15, f16 and other fighter jets, but also f117 fighter jets. Even the latest b2 bomber made a brilliant debut, taking off from the United States and bombing Yugoslavia targets after four air refuelings.
However, among these, there are still the strong B52 bombers, which carry a large number of bombs and have the most bombing targets.
Moreover, the TV station also conducted live reports on the scene, and the bombers that took off from the British Air Force Base were broadcast live. Then, in a few hours, they would fly over the Confederate Yugoslavia and bomb.
Faced with NATO bombing, the people of Yugoslavia bravely fought back. At the same time, peace-loving countries around the world strongly condemned NATO's interference in the sovereignty of Yugoslavia by the United States-led NATO.
Iraq also made strong protests, but during this operation, Iraq did not send troops to help the people of Yugoslavia resist the aggression, because the Muslim brothers there accounted for only a minority and Iraq did not have enough reason.
Even so, the United States expressed great dissatisfaction with many countries in the world, supporting Yugoslavia internationally and opposing US military operations.
Who issued the order, was it the mistake of US President Clinton, the commander at that time, or the pilot? In short, three flying missiles hit accurately on the same target.
Late at night on May 7, the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia was hit by three missiles launched by the United States. The bombing caused three deaths of Xinhua News Agency female reporter Shao Yunhuan, Guangming Daily reporter Xu Xinghu and his wife Zhu Ying. More than 20 embassy staff were injured and the embassy building was severely damaged.
The US bombing of the embassy was a serious barbaric interference in the Chinese government. Suddenly, strong anti-American sentiment erupted across the country.
For the United States, it was a mistake to admit that the bombing was caused by the use of the old map from more than ten years ago. Then, the flag was symbolically lowered and some losses were compensated. This incident passed like this.
Only Kusai knows that this matter is not that easy to pass.
History is still moving forward. This incident caused great impact at the top of China. During the crisis in the Taiwan Strait, some people had fantasies about the United States. The three American bombs completely woke them up, and military construction began to enter a new peak of development.
The two modern class ships have been built and returned to China. They have purchased two modern class ships. The early warning aircraft built in Iraq have been delivered to the Air Force for use. After integrating their data links, they can command the Su-27 and J-10 operations.
And the most important thing is that the aircraft carrier was finally negotiated with Turkey and passed through the Turkish Strait.
Some of the military's scientific research projects have achieved results. The number of precisely guided weapons in the military is gradually increasing.
Kusai knew that the shock caused by this incident to the top leaders of China and the military cooperation between the two sides began to stabilize.
As time goes by, Bush Jr. finally succeeded in his election campaign, becoming the 54th president of the United States and the second president of the United States of America to be elected in his father's footsteps after John Quincy Adams, the 6th president of the United States of America.
If Kusai, under his leadership, gradually condensed the entire Arab world into a stable core, and the only thing he regretted in this process was probably the lung cancer, just Bush's.
Although no matter who comes to power, it is for the benefit of the United States, and as the most powerful country in the world, it is too abnormal not to use its own force to point fingers, but when facing this problem, Kusai still regrets it. For Iraq, the Bush family is evil, and they always want to subdue Iraq!
Clinton retired, leaving Bush with sufficient financial situation. The treasury was operating normally and every year was a fiscal surplus. In the first year of Bush's tenure, he began to vigorously increase military spending, and in the second year, he continued to start a fiscal deficit.
The newly appointed Defense Minister Ramsfeld's words are full of hostility towards Iraq.
"Now, the military growth in the Middle East is too fast. In Iraq, we have two aircraft carrier battle groups. We really want to ask, what do they need aircraft carriers for Iraq's coastline, which is only a few dozen kilometers? Iraq now has intercontinental missiles. We have always suspected that Iraq already has nuclear weapons. We hope Iraq can be investigated. We want to confirm whether Iraq is secretly developing nuclear weapons like India and Pakistan."
In the words, slander and threats of nudeness are everywhere. Just by air strikes, the war in the Confederate Yugoslavia was won, and for the United States, it seemed that it had returned to the era of world hegemony.
Rumsfield was a veteran in the United States. In his youth, he had joined the US Department of Defense and was responsible for naval affairs. In 1975, he reached the peak of his life. He was appointed Secretary of Defense by then-US President Ford. He was the youngest Secretary of Defense in the cabinet. After resigning, he still worked in the Department of Defense and held a number of public offices related to national defense. Now, when George Bush was elected the 43rd President of the United States, Rumsfield was appointed by Bush as Secretary of Defense again, becoming the first person in US history to serve as Secretary of Defense twice.
