Chapter 501 ‘Grassland Fire’ Action Plan
Just when the Type 039 submarine was launched, the entire Yangcheng Shipyard was immersed in this festive atmosphere.
On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, a complete retaliation plan was formulated after a month.
The complete retaliation plan was named "Operation Prairie Fire"!
The purpose of the "Operation Prairie Fire" plan is to rely on air power to carry out surgical strikes and behead Gaddafi.
It can be said that the goal of this operation is to target Gaddafi.
As long as Gaddafi is eliminated, the whole of Libya will be in turmoil, and the United States can fish in troubled waters, and even have great hope of regaining Libya from the Soviet Union.
For Libya, the United States is obsessed with it. It is really that Libya's strategic position is too important, and Libya is also rich in oil. The benefits here are really too great.
The entire "Operation Prairie Fire" plan does not involve the army's landing operations. First, the United States really has no confidence that the army can still fight. After World War II, the US Army has never won any war of a slightly larger scale. The entire army has fallen into self-doubt and confusion, and has become unable to fight. Secondly, they were afraid of Libya's military strength. With the intelligence power of the CIA, they would naturally know nothing about Libya's military strength.
Since 1975, the Soviet Union has provided Libya with arms worth about $6 billion, including 2,000 new tanks, a large number of MiG-23, MiG-25 fighters and submarines, missiles and SAM-5 long-range air defense missiles. The Soviet Union also sent a large military advisory group of up to 1,000 people to Libya.
Moreover, Libya also transferred the Wheelers Air Force Base originally used by the United States to the Soviet army for use.
In addition, Libya also purchased advanced Type 80 main battle tanks, Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, "Vanguard" air defense missiles and "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles from China.
"FUCK, are the Chinese crazy? Exporting so many Type 80 main battle tanks, Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, "Vanguard" air defense missiles and "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles? Are they crazy because of poverty? Exporting such weapons to Libya?" Green couldn't help cursing.
These weapons have all become famous through repeated actual combat and outstanding achievements on the battlefield.
The Type 80 main battle tank, the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, and the "Vanguard" air defense missile shined on the battlefield between Iran and Iraq, attracting the attention of major military countries around the world.
The Type 80 main battle tank has proved on the battlefield that its performance is better than the T-72 tank and is comparable to the "Leopard 2" produced by the Germans.
This main battle tank is very popular with other countries because the foreign trade price of the Type 80 main battle tank is even cheaper than the "Leopard 2" purchased by the Germans themselves.
Similarly, the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is praised by many people as the world's first self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, and its performance is even better than the German "Cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.
The "Vanguard" air defense missile is even more likely to be the world's first single-soldier portable air defense missile. Whether it is on the battlefield between Iran and Iraq or in Afghanistan, it has performed well and has a brilliant record. It has become a helicopter killer and also made fighter jets dare not fly too low.
The British have the most to say about the power of the "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missile, which has caused the British Navy to suffer. Now the Americans are also experiencing the power of the "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missile by sinking a Perry-class frigate.
Libya's military strength is so strong that the Pentagon is very wary. They have no confidence that if they use ground forces to attack, they can achieve results. They are even worried that their own army will be beaten up in Libya.
"The Chinese have exported a lot of arms in recent years. Although the specific trade volume is unknown, it is definitely not less." William took a sip of coffee, "I think we need to communicate with the Chinese and ask them not to export arms to Libya anymore. After all, we are friends with the Chinese, and they cannot export arms to our enemies!"
Green curled his lips and said, "Who knows if they are willing or not? This matter has to be left to Dr. Kissinger! He is an expert on China!"
The normalization of relations between China and the United States has made the United States taste the sweetness in recent years.
A large number of goods from China are of good quality and low price, which has caused the inflation rate in the United States to continue to decline.
Clothes, shoes, toothpaste and other daily necessities are becoming more common in the market.
Even bicycles, motorcycles, cars, air conditioners, refrigerators, color TVs, etc. from China are increasingly appearing in the US market. Jinlong Computer is the world's largest computer manufacturer and is listed in the United States.
China imports a lot of second-hand production lines, books, and crops such as rice, wheat, and corn from the United States, including purchasing advanced fighter jets, helicopters and other military products from the United States.
The trade volume between the two sides has set new records every year, and the United States is a surplus country in the trade between the two sides, and can earn a lot of profits from China every year.
More and more Chinese people go to the United States to study, visit scholars in the United States, and participate in international exchanges. More and more Chinese people can be seen in the United States.
As the most influential person in relations with China, Kissinger's influence and status in the United States are increasing day by day. After all, he is currently the most authoritative expert on US-China relations.
"I hope that the "Prairie Fire" operation plan will be carried out smoothly and blow up Gaddafi, the bastard!" William gritted his teeth.
If there is anyone who is most hated by Americans now, it must be Gaddafi in Libya.
In recent years, Gaddafi's actions have been constantly provoking the United States and spitting on Americans.
Now it is finally time to punish Gaddafi.
"This tactic has not been effectively practiced. Libya has a large number of SAM-5 anti-aircraft missiles, and they also have a large number of 'Eagle Strike' anti-ship missiles. Our aircraft carrier formation cannot get too close to the coastline!" Green frowned slightly.
They are very clear about the power of the 'Eagle Strike' anti-ship missiles, and they are also very afraid. After all, if they get too close, they may become the target of the 'Eagle Strike' anti-ship missiles.
Therefore, in this 'Grassland Fire' operation plan, the aircraft carrier formation will be farther away from the coastline. And it will strengthen air defense and anti-submarine forces.
In addition, the SAM-5 air defense missiles also make Americans afraid.
The SAM-5 air defense missile belongs to the second-generation air defense missile system of the Soviet Union. Its effective range reaches 17~200 kilometers, its effective firing height reaches 300~20,000 meters, and its flight speed reaches more than 3.5 Mach. A few years ago, the American SR-71 "Blackbird" strategic reconnaissance aircraft entered the North Korean airspace, and the other side launched three SAM-5 missiles to injure the SR-71.
The Americans are very afraid of the SAM-5, an air defense missile with a long range, high firing height and fast firing speed.
After all, the SAM missile was defeated in Israel's "Bekaa Valley" before, and was beaten by the SAM missile, which made the SAM missile famous.
However, no matter how difficult it is, the "Grassland Fire" military operation must be carried out, because it needs to give an explanation to the people, and the anger of the people needs an outlet.
Moreover, it also needs to let the world see that the tiger's butt cannot be touched. If you touch the tiger's butt, you have to accept the tiger's anger.
