Babylonian Empire

In the air, their fighter planes shot down fifteen Su-27Ks, and they themselves suffered the loss of seventeen, almost a tie.

And their attack formation, before they were within the range of launching the Harpoon missiles they carried, had already begun to be intercepted by the escort fighter planes of the Iraqi aircraft carrier formation.

The American Harpoon missile is a good anti-ship missile. Its performance is better than that of the Exocet and the C802. However, its disadvantages are its short range and low speed. It only has a range of 130 kilometers and a speed of Mach [-], so , Attacking a single warship is okay, attacking an aircraft carrier formation, there is almost no hope of winning.

They did not expect that after Iraq sent nearly a hundred attack fighters, it would be able to maintain [-] air superiority fighters in formation to intercept them.

Relying on their numerical advantage, they continued to approach the opponent's formation. However, the missiles of the air defense warships of the Iraqi aircraft carrier formation successfully intercepted the missiles they launched.

The air defense force of Iraq's aircraft carrier formation is no worse than that of the United States. They are even more advanced than the United States. The past few years have been a period of rapid development for Iraq. Their air defense systems have already been developed. matured.

In the past, the Soviet Union was the theory of missile victory, so they vigorously developed various missiles, including supersonic anti-ship missiles, and ignored aircraft carriers.The United States, on the other hand, is based on the theory of aircraft carrier victory. Although it also attaches great importance to anti-ship missiles, it has not developed supersonic anti-ship missiles.

Due to the powerful attack power of the US aircraft carrier, generally speaking, their hostile targets have only limited air defense capabilities. Even the Soviet Union, before the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier entered service, the US Navy would completely defeat the Soviet Navy.

Therefore, they now realize that they have almost no chance of winning if they want to attack the Iraqi aircraft carrier formation not inferior to theirs.

Because this is the Arabian Sea, they were also attacked from a long distance by land-based fighters, which put them at a complete disadvantage.

This naval battle is enough to be recorded in the annals of history. History has remembered this day. On April 2002, 4, in the Arabian Sea, the Iraqi Navy took the initiative to attack and sank the USS Kitty Hawk and damaged the Washington D.C. USS, simultaneously destroyed two guided-missile cruisers, three guided-missile destroyers and two frigates of the U.S. Navy.

As for the Iraqi Navy's loss, there was no loss at all. Except for the 25 fighter planes that were shot down, none of their warships suffered any losses.

Of course, this is superficial. Just as the sea and air confrontation was fierce, the underwater battle was also going on. Two Los Angeles-class submarines wanted to attack the Iraqi aircraft carrier. The Iraqi submarine force counterattacked. During the battle, they sank two American submarines, and one of their own submarines suffered two torpedoes in order to protect the aircraft carrier. However, it was still able to sail, and returned to the base from the sea after dark.

This is an exciting day for the entire Arab world. They finally defeated the aircraft carrier formation of the United States for the first time. For them, the United States is no longer a powerful military presence. They can face the United States. Military Qianshe said proudly that we have the confidence and ability to defend our own homeland, and the Middle East will be resolved by ourselves!

After the aircraft carrier was damaged, the U.S. carrier-based aircraft that attacked had no choice but to land at the nearby Yemen Air Force Base. Afterwards, Iraq immediately dispatched airborne troops to control the air base and captured all the American pilots.

The naval battle is not over yet, and Iraq does not allow the remaining warships to slip back. After the attack squadron returns, they hang bombs again, eject and take off, and prepare for the second supplementary bombing. At this time, they no longer carry the valuable KH- 41 anti-ship missiles, but Iraq's self-produced series of anti-ship missiles based on C801, because the aircraft carrier imported by the United States has completely failed at this time, this attack is just a clean-up of the battlefield.

Moreover, the Aegis warships imported by the United States have just finished launching those long-range anti-aircraft missiles, and they just flew over from a high altitude, and then just dropped the bombs.

After they flew over, unexpectedly, the remaining two warships chose to surrender.

The preparations for the anti-aircraft missiles have already been fired, and the supply ship has not followed up. There are brothers who fell into the water all around. If they resist, they will only end up being destroyed.What they need to do more is to rescue those brothers who fell into the water.

Chapter 150 is not nuclear deterrence

Bush Jr.'s face was gloomy. He hoped that in his tenure, he would be able to make a great event and leave his name in history.However, it is definitely not the case now. Although he will have his own strong stroke in the history of later generations, he is the most failed president in American history.

So many presidents could be calm during the Cold War, but now that the Cold War is over, the United States is the most powerful militarily, but it was defeated by a group of bumpkins from the Middle East. The attack on Pearl Harbor was even worse.At least the US aircraft carrier was not damaged at the time. ..

Now, although the military strength of the United States is strong, there are only ten aircraft carrier battle groups, and two of them were wiped out at once. This not only means that they have lost one-fifth of their navy, but also represents their self-confidence. , was also hit hard.

Unknowingly, Iraq has become so powerful, and it was all created under Clinton's tenure.At that time, Clinton actually wanted to maintain good relations with Arab countries in an idiotic way. Didn't he know that the US policy is a stick and a carrot?

"Right now, our two aircraft carrier formations in the Mediterranean Sea have retreated [-] nautical miles," Defense Secretary Rumsfeld said.

After being completely annihilated here, the formation on the Mediterranean immediately retreated in a timely manner, and they could not repeat the same mistakes.They were very lucky to find that just after they retreated, the Iraqi Air Force in Syria and Libya had already started to take off the Tu 22M bomber and cruise in the Eastern Mediterranean. If they ran slowly, maybe.It has already been hit, if there is another blow.The price is absolutely unbearable for the United States. ..

"We need to wipe out the Iraqi navy, the Iraqi army... completely," Bush said.

Cheney shook his head: "If we want to encircle and annihilate the Iraqi formation, we need at least four aircraft carrier battle groups to go there, and we must also bear the possibility that two more aircraft carriers will be sunk. We need to mobilize our European air force and organize an unprecedented war. Largest air operation ever."

Iraq's attack force is too powerful, and it actually used [-] supersonic anti-ship missiles. This is simply the standard tactic of the Soviet Navy. This battle may be a turning point in the history of the world's navy.It will greatly promote the prevalence of supersonic anti-ship missiles, and the deterrence of US aircraft carriers will be greatly reduced in the future.

In this military operation, the direct loss of the United States is 550 billion US dollars, including those expensive B2 bombers, including the formation of two aircraft carriers, and the indirect loss cannot be counted.I am afraid, there will be hundreds of billions of dollars.

"We can't go on like this. Otherwise, we may not be able to deal with other threats." CIA Director George said: "We have discovered that there are abnormal military movements in the Taiwan Strait area. The PLA's ships, including the North Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet. There are signs of gathering in the central region, and they have also confiscated a large number of civilian ships. We also found that their missile force has left the station two days ago without a trace."

Bush was taken aback: "In other words, the Chinese want to take advantage of our current inability to take into account the situation in the Western Pacific, and want to completely resolve the Taiwan issue at this time?"

Out of the interests of the United States, the United States must contain the rise of the emerging China. In this process, the Taiwan issue has always been a card for them. The United States has always spared no effort to support Taiwan. However, the current situation is that if you leave The United States and Taiwan will never continue to maintain the current situation. In less than two days, the People's Liberation Army will fight over, and the five-star red flag will be planted in Taipei, Kaohsiung and other big cities.

If China resolves the Taiwan issue, then the United States will certainly not be able to prevent China from breaking through the first island chain, and the entire Western Pacific will become their sphere of activity.

"Not only that, the Kurds in Turkey have recently begun to dispatch frequently. They have advanced weapons in their hands, including rocket launchers, and there are also heavy weapons such as tanks. The Turkish zhèngfǔ army is slow to respond. I am afraid that the Kurds will People's separatist activities will become more and more rampant, and our military bases there may not be safe anymore."

Besieged on all sides, Bush asked: "What about our NATO allies? How are they reacting now, or are they indifferent?"

In previous wars, including the Yugoslavia last time, the United States led and bypassed the United Nations. NATO countries also responded one after another, sending fighter planes and participating in air strikes.But this time, until now, they have not made any statement, have not sent troops, and have not sent fighter planes, even if they are giving the United States some war funding, none of these.

Secretary of State Colin Powell said: "All European countries, only the United Kingdom has strongly condemned the recent series of actions in Iraq. France, Germany, Italy and other countries are all conducting research, analyzing the protection and attack of aircraft carrier formations in modern warfare, and analyzing supersonic anti-ship attacks. A huge advantage for missiles."

"What?" Bush said angrily, "These Europeans!"

The United Kingdom is a quasi-ally of the United States, and this time it is only a condemnation. France is not a NATO country, and it is normal to always sing against itself. As a case study?

"They have other plans. In Paris, France, the European Union and the Arabs are fighting fiercely." Powell said.

At the time when Britain became an empire that never falls, and when European countries fought fierce wars for their colonies, America was still an undeveloped new continent. The history of the founding of the United States did not last a few hundred years. Li, actually looks down on the United States.

However, after World War II, the United States was the only place that was not burned by the flames of war. The scientific and technological elites, capital and financial resources of all countries were transferred to the United States. Therefore, the United States has become a superpower, and no other European countries can compare .At that time, facing the real threat of the Soviet Union, whose ideology was completely different from theirs, they could only let the United States, but in fact, in their bones, they always had a dream of a big Europe, and they should be the center of the world. strong desire.

The swords and swords of the past could not unify Europe, and those emperors who showed off their might could not do it.But the current trend is that they are slowly moving toward unity in peace.They already use a common currency, the Euro, which brings them closer to each other.Now, peace and development have become the mainstream of the world, and the smoke of war has gradually faded away. Individual European countries can no longer compete with the United States. They can only be connected with each other to form a unified whole. This is what European countries have achieved. The consensus made their overall economy become the number one in the world!

The road is bumpy, they have taken the first step, they have unified the currency, and more importantly, let their euro become the world currency, not only in Europe, but also widely circulated in the world.

Now, this wish is about to come true.The euro will replace the U.S. dollar and be used to settle oil. The benefits of this, even people without economic common sense, can see the huge economic value in it. The euro will no longer be limited to the euro zone, but will be used throughout the world Rooted and sprouted.

Of course, it is impossible to use all euros, the Arabs only allow the use of euros to settle oil, and the Arab dollar will also be another currency for settlement of oil, but this does not affect them, they cannot emphasize that the euro completely replaces the dollar, the Arabs Not stupid either.This change is enough for them. For example, at least now, they no longer have to use their products to export to the United States, exchange them for dollars, and then hand them over to Arab countries to get oil.This is equivalent to that Americans can get what they want as long as they start the money printing machine.

Now they can directly use the euros in their hands to exchange for oil. At the same time, Arabs will also directly use euros to buy things in Europe, and the United States has been abandoned by them since then.

What is the most important thing between countries?That is interest!

The military strength of the United States is still strong. Seeing that the US dollar will become waste paper, it is no wonder that the Americans are not crazy. They will definitely use their own force to break these agreements. The Europeans consciously stand aside. Just watch the Americans and the Arabs choke to death. At this time, the Americans want to unite with them to attack the Arab countries. Isn't Bush out of his mind?This is like Europeans cutting their own penis with a knife, which they are absolutely unwilling to do.

They are even thinking about whether they need to secretly give some help to the Arab countries.For example, in the international community, do not publish remarks that are not conducive to Arabs.

As long as the Arabs win, the pattern of the world will definitely change. The rise of Europe and the decline of the United States are inevitable. It is worthwhile for Europeans to fight for their own interests.

Bush has a feeling of betrayal, and, according to the current situation, conventional weapons may lose their effectiveness.

"It appears that we have only one other option," Bush said calmly. "We need to use our nuclear weapons."

Hearing this, Powell was shocked: "President, we have had several experiences before. Qusay is a hardliner and will never be afraid of our nuclear deterrence."

"I didn't say it was nuclear deterrence." Bush said: "Now, we, the United States, have reached the most dangerous time. In order to maintain the existing international order, attack the Arab countries that try to challenge us, and re-establish the prestige of our United States, We need to use our nuclear weapons to show them that it would be very wrong to ignore how strong we are."
