Chapter 1253 Iraqi Army in the Mountains
George Wharton wants to capture Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.
But it's not that easy.
Bin Laden has many fans in the Islamic world.
It is not said whether Bin Laden has left Afghanistan. It is just that in Afghanistan, with such a large mountainous area, it is not easy to catch Bin Laden.
So far, the United States only controls 70% of the territory in Afghanistan, and some of the territory it controls is still being lost.
In the Afghan battlefield, wars are fought every day.
So far, it is still difficult for the United States to form effective comrades in Afghanistan. How to deal with guerrilla warfare and how to conduct public security warfare has become a top priority for the United States.
The United States suddenly discovered that large-scale operations and large-corps operations are no longer suitable for modern warfare.
Because they may not engage in large-scale army operations with you, but may engage in guerrilla warfare with you.
Will the United States go to war with a major power?
The possibility is slim!
Therefore, the United States is now brewing a new round of military transformation, using small forces to fight in order to win the current war in Afghanistan and Iraq.
And Saddam, who was being remembered by George Wharton, was currently at a certain headquarters in the Kurdish mountains.
This command center was built in the mountains and was very solid. This was to prevent American ground-penetrating missiles.
The United States has developed a giant ground-penetrating missile called GBU-57. This missile can penetrate about 60 meters of reinforced concrete and about 40 meters of rock before detonating.
There is no doubt that this design is definitely not used for conventional battlefields, but is specially used for blasting underground buildings such as air raid shelters, tunnels, or other defensive buildings.
At this time, Saddam obviously looked much older. After all, he was not young, he was nearly 70 years old. The defeat in the Iraq War was a big blow to Saddam.
But he did not admit defeat and continued to fight.
Sadam was watching the news at this time, and then showed a hint of ridicule.
Now the European and American media are smearing him a lot, describing him as a famous murderer and autocratic dictator in human history, saying that he regards Iraq as the private property of his family, acts recklessly, treats human life as nothing, and treats the international community as trivial. Rules are like nothing.
But what he is dealing with internally is the rebellious Kurds. In any country, no ruler will allow internal separatist forces and will only attack the Kurds.
He is also said to be a despotic dictator. This is simply ridiculous. If he wanted to, he could turn Iraq into a kingdom and be the king himself!
It was Saddam who, starting in the 1970s, used a large amount of oil revenue to improve people's livelihood. Even after the Gulf War, it was Saddam who endured the humiliation and tried every means to raise money for post-war reconstruction. When conditions were feasible, he implemented high social welfare.
It is said that they regard international rules as if they are nothing, but which country really regards international rules as nothing?
Which country launched the Vietnam War, which country invaded Panama, which country launched the Libyan War, and which country launched the Kosovo War, the Afghanistan War and the Iraq War! ?
This is a trample on the sovereignty of other countries!
The promised war has nothing to do with civilians, but look at which country carried out brutal and inhumane bombings on Libya, and which country even blew up nursing homes, schools, hospitals and orphanages?
Why human rights are higher than sovereignty! ?
hehe!
Saddam sneered!
This world is a world of the weak and the strong!
Only strong force can protect oneself and not be violated.
Iraq lost the war because Iraq was not strong enough! If Iraq was strong enough, the United States would not dare invade Iraq at all.
Sadam took out a pack of Huazi, took out a cigarette, and started smoking.
The current living conditions are naturally far inferior to those before, but Saddam does not dislike it. He has no pursuit of material conditions. He has already enjoyed the best things in the world, including delicacies and game.
His life has entered a countdown, and there is not much time left for him. He has only one thing to do, and that is to drive away the Americans, drive the Americans out of Iraq, and make Iraq independent again!
Although it is very difficult, Saddam feels there is hope because he still has as many as 200,000 troops and a steady stream of external support.
Although his people are now divided in half by the Americans, they can all be contacted through satellite phones, and they can all receive supplies of funds, materials, weapons and ammunition from the outside.
The Kurdish mountainous area where he was located could receive a steady stream of supplies from Persia.
Although the Americans have built outposts on various important roads to prevent their people from entering other areas, the Americans cannot build outposts on the Persian side.
The Americans did not attack themselves, but asked the Kurdish armed forces to attack.
Kurdish armed forces! ?
Saddam showed contempt.
Back then, he drove all the Kurds out of Iraq and into Turkey.
As a result, this group of people, with the support of Americans, actually established a country and occupied 125,000 square kilometers of Türkiye.
If there were no Americans, Saddam would have great confidence and push the Kurds to the ground again.
This land belongs to the Arabs, not the Kurds!
Saddam smoked two cigarettes, his eyes showed determination. He would not give up, nor would he compromise. He chose to fight to the end.
At this time, Rashid came over.
Rashid also looked unkempt. The failure of the decisive battle was also a huge blow to Rashid. He blamed himself. If he had not rashly launched a decisive battle, perhaps Iraq would not have failed.
Iraq lost the war, and Rashid believed that he had to bear the greatest responsibility.
However, he did not give up, but retreated into the Kurdish mountains, and continued to resist with the help of the perfect defense line of the Kurdish mountains.
There are more than 100,000 Iraqi troops here. Although there are only 60,000 organized troops and 100,000 are defeated soldiers, these defeated troops have been reorganized during this period.
Fortunately, there are sufficient supplies of materials and weapons, and Saddam encouraged them every now and then, and they won several battles before they restored their morale.
As for his family, Rashid had sent his family to Hong Kong a long time ago.
Even if he really died in the battle, his family can live a rich life in Hong Kong.
And there, there is no need to worry about any trouble.
Similarly, many people have already sent their families out of Iraq, those with limited ability to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, and those with more ability to the East.
When Rashid saw Saddam, he couldn't help but show respect. He had ambitions before, but now these ambitions are completely gone, because he found that he is indeed far inferior to Saddam.
When everyone else lost confidence and was confused, it was Saddam who stood up and told everyone unswervingly that the final victory must belong to the Iraqi people, and the Iraqi people will definitely drive the Americans out of Iraqi land. (End of this chapter)
