Chapter 558: The Rise of the Empire
Attack immediately! The Americans began to make arrangements in Saudi Arabia. What are you waiting for at this time? Wait for the heavy American troops to arrive in Saudi Arabia on a boat, rectify their luggage, and then the two sides set up their formations and fight upright? Stop dreaming, the European chivalrous spirit should have been shattered long ago.
"If we still remain unmoved and wait until the Americans ease up, we will not only not get Saudi Arabia, but even Kuwait we have to vomit out." Seeing the expression on Saddam's face gloomy and sunny, Andre continued: "This is the last opportunity. If we lose this opportunity, no matter how much we help the Soviet Union, you will be unable to make the world come true. Mr. President, if you want to restore the glory of the Babylonian Empire, you need to have a pioneering and enterprising spirit!"
Andre's words were finished. If Saddam was not enlightened yet... Andre really wanted to kill him now and command the Iraqi army to fight by himself!
Restore the glory of the Babylonian Empire! This statement really stimulated Saddam, who was still hesitant, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, then our army will launch an attack immediately!"
"Fighting the US military is different from fighting Kuwait. I suggest that you first use air force to completely bomb the air bases in Saudi Arabia, especially the unstable Prince Sudan Air Force Base, and then use ground forces. The air-ground attacks of the Americans are very strong. The ground forces are not protected by air force, so they are prone to heavy casualties." Andre said.
Facing the rolling armored torrent of the Soviet Union, NATO was unable to cope with it. Their countermeasures were not to use tanks to fight against tanks. Soviet tanks were still ahead of the West as a whole. Their plan was to use air power to deal with tank troops on the ground!
For the Soviet Union, this plan may not work, because the Soviet Union also has huge air power, and the Soviet Union has long-range rocket launchers and ballistic missile weapons that made them terrified. However, Iraq is not as awesome as the Soviet Union. Although Iraq has purchased many Soviet weapons, in many cases, it is not possible to have combat effectiveness with weapons.
Moreover, due to various concerns, the Soviet Union did not sell more advanced ballistic missiles to Iraq. Iraq still owned only Scud missiles, but the number was already quite large. The Soviet Union almost sold all the Scud missiles it eliminated to Iraq. The range of Scud missiles was only 300 kilometers, and even from the nearest Kuwait territory, it could not hit Riyadh.
Historically, with the help of Soviet experts, Iraq improved the Scud missiles and increased the range to 600 kilometers before it had a longer range strike capability. However, now, this improvement has not yet begun.
However, it should not be a problem now. If your sword is not long enough, then take another step forward! As long as the Iraqi army enters Saudi territory, the Iraqi ballistic missile forces can rush everywhere in the deserted desert in Saudi Arabia. It is easy to meet the launch conditions. It is as difficult to find ballistic missile forces in the desert as it is to discover aircraft carrier formations in the sea.
The coalition forces in history have completely air superiority and suppressed Iraq in a small circle. As a result, they have used one-third of the air force to find Iraq's Scud missile launcher.
As for Saddam's thoughts, Andre could also guess some of it. Iraq in history has always had conflicts with Kuwait, so Saddam did not hesitate to occupy Kuwait. However, if he really fights Saudi Arabia, Saddam still has a hurdle in his heart.
Saudi Arabia has always regarded itself as the big brother of the Arab world in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia will almost stand at a moral level when doing anything. For example, within OPEC, if some oil-producing countries secretly increase oil production and lead to a decrease in oil prices, Saudi Arabia will actively reduce oil production to balance oil prices. This will cause Saudi Arabia to suffer certain losses, but they do not think they are at a loss at all. This is the demeanor of a real big brother.
All Arab countries are friendly to Saudi Arabia. If Saddam takes the initiative to attack Saudi Arabia, he will almost become a sinner in the entire Arab world, which requires a lot of courage.
Andre came here to cheer Saddam up. He wanted to be a magnificent person and also wanted to set up a archway. How could this be done? Don’t you have a dream of the Babylonian Empire in your heart? You have to realize it now!
"Mr. President, the US government is making a statement to the world." At this moment, Director of Intelligence Barzan walked in and said to Saddam.
Turn on the TV, it was US President Bush inside. At this time, he was standing on the stage, facing countless microphones and cameras.
"Just five days ago, we got amazing news that Iraq suddenly crossed the border and invaded the weak Kuwait. War spread throughout the city and was full of death. We would never have thought that this was what the Saddam government, who once advocated for the Arab world in the Middle East, resolutely fought against the Iranian extreme government that exported revolution, could do."
"Facts have proved that the Saddam government is a barbaric country full of aggressive and offensiveness. They trampled on international norms and wanted to burn the war to the entire Middle East. No matter what forces behind the Saddam government are supporting it, even if we are risking the launch of World War III, we, the United States, need to send troops to save our ally Kuwait. We firmly believe that justice is the axiom of this world, and the invaders have never had a good end. Just like the fascist government, destruction is their final result!"
"This is our forced and necessary choice. Maintaining peace in the Middle East and maintaining the stability of oil resources in the world are of great significance to our entire world. More than 35 countries have given important support, whether it is to give the use of naval and air bases, intellectual and moral assistance, or to send troops. Every country in the alliance has chosen to assume the responsibility of public defense and share common honors. For every man and woman in the Gulf, peace is given to this chaotic world and hope is given to the oppressed people, and we trust you. The enemies you face know your abilities and courage. The people you want to liberate will witness the glory and spirit of the American army...."
No need to listen anymore, the United States is declaring war on Iraq! Saddam's face was full of anger: "Now I order the Empire's rise operation to begin immediately!"
The code name for the attack on Saudi Arabia is called the rise of the empire!
At the same time, information was heard from the radar stations deployed on the Iraq and Saudi Arabia border, and a large number of fighter jets were discovered in the direction of Saudi Arabia! (To be continued.)
