I tried my best to avoid being paid attention to by other network companies and gain

And this time was won by the US President on February 17th.

On February 17, 1991, the United States launched Operation Desert Storm.

(This is different from history, historically it was January 17)

Multinational troops led by the United States and Saddam's army confronted each other across the border.

Since August, the United States has organized a multinational force to assemble more than 700,000 people in the Gulf, of which the US military has reached 520,000. A total of more than 2,000 armed helicopters, more than 4,000 tanks and nearly 7,000 artillery were prepared.

Saddam also concentrated 545,000 people, 4,200 tanks and nearly 4,000 artillery on the Saudi border.

Saddam knew the advantages of the United States, so he asked the troops to build many giant fortresses to fight against the air superiority of the US military. At the same time, he carefully built a sandbag wall of two to four meters high, dug a trench of six meters deep and eighteen meters wide, and prepared to dump oil into the trench in an emergency to ignite it to prevent the US military from attacking.

All he wanted to do was to offset the US military's technological advantages and transfer the high-tech war it hoped to fight to the ground. Using strict organization, it caused major casualties to the US military and forced the US military to evacuate from the Middle East.

However, he obviously underestimated the United States' importance to the Middle East and the power of high-tech weapons.

In the air and sea, if you want to launch a strike at the same time, both conditions must be met at the full moon night and at high tide. According to this requirement, after Iraq has crossed the UN ultimatum period, there are three optimal time periods: January 15 to January 17, February 16 to 18, March 17, and eighteen.

US President Bush originally wanted to launch an offensive in the first time period to achieve tactical suddenness.

But on the 15th, the Iraqi army was solemnly waiting after the ultimatum time stipulated by the United Nations. All local troops entered the air defense trench, the pilots were on standby at any time, the tanks moved to the defensive position, and the missile vehicles were all transferred, and they were not sure where they were going.

On the other hand, 20,000 Western countries who were still stationed in Iraq and were hostage were taken as hostages, and they were divided into various strategic locations, allowing the US military to throw themselves into a jealous way.

The 200,000 Iraqi troops even moved closer to the Isha-Sha border and took a storm, forcing the US military not to act rashly.

On January 15, 16, and 173, the Iraqi army was on high alert, making it impossible for the US military to start. And Schwartzkopf stopped the strike in order to ensure the effectiveness of the battle.

In this regard, Bush is the most anxious person.

The US military has spent 60 billion US dollars in the months since the gathering of the Middle East. And once the war starts, the amount of funds required per day is expected to reach ten to twenty billion. Every day of delay is astronomical expenses.

Fortunately, this war expense will be amortized by Saudi Arabia, Japan, the UAE and other countries. Among them, Japan alone promised to bear 50 billion US dollars in war expenses!

The time delayed until February 16th, and the Yi army reused the same trick and once again launched a full warning.

But this time, the US military does not intend to let him go.

On the 16th, the Iraqi army began to appear a little relaxed, thinking that the US military could not launch an attack.

At 00:00 on the 17th, a group of ground planes took off from the ground, and the warships docked in the bay area were the first to launch more than 100 Tomahawk cruise missiles.

At this time, in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, the reporter of French TV 5 was reporting to the TV audience: "To my left is a civilian airport and to the right is a military airport. Now, from the airport on the right, there are two fighter jets taking off. I don't know whether to conduct an exercise or formally launch an attack on the Iraqi army..."

On the TV screen, the photographer exclaimed: "The left and the left also took off!"

The TV camera quickly moved over, and the TV audience found that there were also a group of planes taking off at the civil airport on the left.

"The war has begun!"

At this moment, the electronic suppression of the Iraqi army also reached its climax.

After several months of waiting, the US military knew all the radar frequencies of the Iraqi army and the local area. Five hours before the war started, it launched strong electronic interference. On the Iraqi army's radar screen, there was only a vast white area that could not distinguish the target.

Before the first batch of targets were hit, the exhausted Western reporter pushed open the window of the big hotel where he lived and accidentally discovered a string of red dots in the distant sky, which looked like flowing flames.

Immediately afterwards, the Telecommunications Center Building became the first victim. Huge flames burned from the building, turning the night sky into a bright light. Since then, the Presidential Palace Building, the Ministry of National Defense, and the Iraqi Air Force Command have all risen in a sea of ​​fire, accompanied by the deafening explosions, and thick smoke rushed into the sky.

Air Defense Radar Positions, Airports, Command and Communication Facilities, Nuclear Reactors, Missile Biological and Chemical Weapons Factory…

All the key targets of Iraq have become clusters of burning flames.

Until this time, there was still no roar of the aircraft engine in the sky. But from time to time, missiles or laser-guided bombs dragged their tail flames fell from the sky.

The explosion was so violent that the Western journalists had to cover their ears tightly.

All they could hear was the sound of the Iraqi army launching aimless anti-aircraft guns towards the sky. Countless anti-aircraft shells exploded at high altitude, turning the night into daylight.

The first bombing lasted three hours, but surprisingly, only one US A6 invader and two British cyclone fighter jets were shot down by anti-aircraft artillery fire.

The TV reporter rushed to the Air Force pilot who had just returned and got off the plane. Facing the TV camera, a major grinned:

It was amazing. Looking down from above Iraq, it was like looking at a shiny tree!"

After three hours of bombing, the US military claimed to have destroyed 80% of Iraq's military targets, while France cautiously claimed that the targets should be about 50%.

But then the Soviet Union also showed high-altitude satellite photos of the location they took. Through infrared analysis, they believed that most of the targets bombed by the US military were fake targets disguised by rubber and wood.

Through the TV signal sent back from Baghdad, all TV viewers were surprised.

Just a few hours after the bombing of multinational forces ended, Saddam appeared on the TV camera. On the screen, he knelt on the ground and prayed, then stood up and announced to his subordinates, the people, and the world: "All the mother of battle has begun. Iraq is holding onto a strong and solid position... Victory is coming!"

Then, he was dressed in military uniform and inspected in Baghdad, which was still filled with smoke. After the festival, the soldiers cheered.

In the severely damaged Air Force building and air defense command, Saddam once again declared that he would let Americans blood flow!

Looking at the TV screen, the passionate Saddam Xiao Qiang asked the people around him: "What do you think?"

"Iraq will be defeated!" Tian Shengying replied without hesitation, "It depends on how much he is defeated and how determined the US military is. Do they want to drive Saddam out of Kuwait, or are they preparing to deal with him once and for all."

Xiao Qiang smiled and looked at the others.

Bai Xiaoquan and other security team members watched TV very seriously just now and listened to the translator whispering in his ears to synchronize the translation.

He thought for a while and said, "The Americans will not kill Saddam. They need a reason to continue to stay in the Middle East. If Saddam has been overthrown, then he has no excuse to station a large number of troops in the Gulf."

Xiao Qiang shook his head. Bai Xiaoquan asked in surprise: "Mr. Xiao, don't you agree with my judgment?"

Xiao Qiang shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. I actually don't care about Saddam's life or death. I want to ask you, what impact will this incident have on us?"

All the people in the land understand.

Their eyes lit up: "Tomorrow's newspaper headlines are no longer our network!"

"Hahahaha!" Xiao Qiang laughed happily, "By the way, let alone the headlines tomorrow, it is hard to say whether there is any news about us. We have finally gotten rid of the focus of the attention. Life will continue, and people on the Internet will continue to surf the Internet, but they will not report it to us. This is the biggest good news for me."

Before dawn, a large number of local supplements, special issues, and express newspapers appeared on the streets outside, reporting in detail about the war breaking out in Iraq. After dawn, all local media, whether big newspapers or tabloids, were also related to Iraq.

Although there are still reports from Huanyu.com in the computer column, the intensity is no longer great.

All the eyes of the various parts were attracted to the Bay Area.

Taking advantage of their sight and moving to the Iraqi region, the "silent tactic" that Xiao Qiang had been claiming was also being implemented quickly.

On January 22, Austin received an order from Xiao Qiang to rent a 10,000-ton ship and quickly transported a large number of equipment from the country. Xiao Qiang spent a huge amount of money, took out 200 million US dollars at one time, hired a large number of American engineers, and mixed with a small number of Chinese engineers to carry out the fire-like network construction work.

His network construction is divided into backbone network construction and network construction of various communities.

Since the supercomputer networks of six companies have been built, the focus of backbone network construction is to extend outward quickly and connect them to other local area networks into pieces.

Xiao Qiang lasted eighteen hours a day, insisting on patrolling between various construction sites, and his sleep time was less than three hours a day.

This is the best thing to be able to dig trenches and bury light pipelines.

If you are not allowed to dig a trenches, you can pass through the top, just like setting up wires, passing through the top.

If this is not allowed, then go around...

In short, there is only one goal: fast! Use the fastest speed and shortest construction period to run those partners who want to join the main network.

The engineers of the world also renovated the original networks according to the policy of large to small, near and far. Their transmission equipment and server systems have been updated.

As long as the light from the world is connected to, all the prior work has been done and can be directly connected to the grid.

For example, those users with small and scattered users, because they are not very valuable, they are still advised to continue to use the original communication lines.

Like Luo Deng, he plans to set up a community network by himself. Huanyu has also given great support.

The servers produced by Universal itself are continuously transported by sea and air from China. They have won everyone's praise for their low prices and reasonable performance. Especially for small companies like Roden, who start their own businesses and have insufficient funds on hand, they are simply overjoyed. These servers have saved them much construction funds!

It doesn’t matter if the performance is a little worse, the price difference is too considerable!

It turns out that a medium-sized server costs at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. However, the Universal server only charges 100,000 dollars!

Such a low price has greatly stimulated the expansion of the team of individual entrepreneurs.

The personal startups that joined Huanyu.com quickly expanded from the first few hundred companies to two thousand homes. The small networks they built were of varying sizes.

There are hundreds of people, and there are only dozens of people.

But as it accumulates, this number is quite considerable. The total number actually reaches the surprising number of 270,000!

These small networks look like one

But when you gather it together, the scale effect formed is actually a network company.

Moreover, these networks are very convenient to build.

The location of the server is located where they live or rent it.

The objects they serve are located on the adjacent areas and the lines are arranged against the walls. You can quickly get home access.

Using a small programmable switch and connected to the main network, a small network is built. The cost is only 200,000 to 300,000 US dollars. Many individual entrepreneurs can easily raise this fund.

Of course, their survivability is also very low. In the more than a year since the establishment of Huanyu.com in the United States, thousands of personal entrepreneurial network companies have been established, but 60 to 70% of them have closed down after the maturity of various large network service companies.

However, when they went bankrupt, they usually handed over the customers to them in the initial agreement reached with six major network service companies.

Their greatest contribution is to help the Universal Network when it was most vulnerable and gain a foothold in the United States.
