When a war starts, there is no boundary! Some American military strategists want to rely on their naval and air superiority to bomb China instead of ground wars, which is wishful thinking. Since the war begins with air combat or naval warfare, the United States cannot decide how the war continues. —————— Zhou Enlai.

Washington, Pentagon.

Dick Cheney knew that the U.S. government had reached another critical moment, and Iraq was a stronger enemy than they expected. But the worst thing was that the war broke out when the United States caught off guard.

In the original plan of President Cheney and Bush, the United States will use its dominant position in the world economy to lead allies to impose economic sanctions and high-tech embargoes on Iraq, gradually bleed Iraq and weaken Iraq's economic and military capabilities. At the same time, it implements the noose plan proposed by Bell Leicester, wins Iraq's neighbors politically and diplomatically, and curbs Iraq's rise. After a period of containment and sanctions and secret infiltration and subversion, it will fight Iraq when the opportunity is ripe.

No one expected that Cia would have taken a stupid and impulsive Saudi coup regardless of this principle. Although Saudi King Fahd was suspected of turning to Iraq, the gradual military alienation from the United States was an example. However, this was not serious enough to require a coup to overthrow his rule. This coup greatly stimulated the Arab countries and stimulated the Middle East strongman - Kusai Abdullah.

The United States was forced to mobilize its military forces to showdown with Iraq without being prepared. Due to the urgency of the situation, diplomatic work has not been completed, and coordination with major powers such as the Soviet Union and China was not done well. This directly hindered the mobilization of the Seventh Army and the Pacific Fleet's support for the Middle East. (This book is on 17k Chinese website, please support the genuine version!) Iraq's Turkish offensive not only greatly shocked European countries, but also attracted some of the United States' attention.

The Fourth Infantry Division and some air force units that were originally scheduled to be sent to Qatar entered Turkey before the war ended. The Turkish government refused the US military to continue to use its own base to fight Iraq, and the force was forced to ship out again. Egypt's refusal to use the Suez Canal in the United States forced the mechatronic division to bypass the distant Cape of Good Hope in Africa, and wasted time on the road in vain.

Despite this, the Expeditionary Command did its best to mobilize the main forces of the 82nd Airborne Division, the Third Armored Cavalry Regiment, and the Third Infantry Division to set up defenses in Saudi Arabia. The First Air Force Expeditionary Force also organized hundreds of fighter jets to enter the air bases in Qatar and Bahrain, and the navy's aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines also entered the Gulf to assist in the war.

All this is not enough. Under the thunderous attack of the 400,000 Iraqi army, powerful tactical ballistic missile strikes, hundreds of advanced fighter air strikes, and overwhelming tank torrents... It can be said that one force breaks the ten games. After Kusai Abdullah carried out a beautiful feint attack like an east-west on the northern line, he then used the most ordinary but most orthodox way to launch the general attack on the southern line.

In the face of this absolute power advantage, all principles of air-ground combat, the principle of confrontation of advanced wars, all strategies and tricks have failed. Forty thousand beauties faced the enemy and firepower that were ten times their advantage, and carried out arduous and minimally effective resistance.

Rumach was lost, Riyad was lost, Hules was lost...Dick Cheney saw the news on Al Jazeera. The spectacular scene of hundreds of Iraqi helicopters carrying ammunition and oil to supply the armored forces shocked him, advanced, powerful and confident - this is his evaluation of the army on TV!

They turned out to be enemies!

We actually chose such an enemy!

Until now, Dick Cheney still hasn't understood how this war broke out and how the situation lost control, but for him, the most important thing is how the war goes on, how American troops escape or even win, rather than pursuing these issues.

"Mr. Minister, if you want to rescue the surrounding troops, you can only use the Third Armcraft Division to launch an offensive from the east. The enemy sandwiched between them and the 82nd Division is about one division, about 10,000 people. However, the power of the Third Armcraft Division is probably not enough, so we have to reinforce them..." said Admiral Patrick White, the Minister of the 6th Army.

"Where has the Fourth Maneuver Master been?"

"The fleets in the Socorat Island waters, the Middle East have begun to provide escorts for them. But it will take about a week to invest in the Saudi battlefield!" The Admiral replied.

"How are the preparations of the 18th Airborne Army? We have been dispatching the mobilization order for a long time, enough for them to fly to the moon on a transport star (also known as a C141 heavy transport aircraft)!"

"They have been on standby, Mr. Minister! However, airports in Qatar and Bahrain are constantly attacked by Iraqi tactical ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. Their large transport aircraft may have problems taking off and landing. Besides..." The Air Force General glanced at the commander of the navy and shook his head and said: "Not long ago, Iraqi aircraft carriers appeared in the Indian Ocean again. Their Su-27 fighter jets posed a threat to the transportation line. We cannot provide global escort!"

"That aircraft carrier? Damn it - hasn't it been blocked by the Seventh Fleet in a neutral country, that is, Sri Lanka surveillance?" Dick Cheney looked at the naval officials sternly. (This book is on 17k Chinese website, please support the genuine version!)

Several generals of the Navy looked at each other and said with shame: "I'm really sorry, Minister, that aircraft carrier slipped away a few days ago and escaped from our surveillance!"

"How many days?" Dick Cheney's voice was extremely sharp.

"About - a week ago, that is, the 24th!"

"You only told me what happened a week ago! It's so efficient-" Dick Cheney finally couldn't help but curse. Although the combat effectiveness of the half-baked Iraqi aircraft carrier is not worth mentioning, the US Navy can handle it by any aircraft carrier battle group. But once it is allowed to escape, there will be no peaceful days for the entire American route in the Indian Ocean. All ships in the air and on the water will be threatened. It may even slip near Pearl Harbor and stage another surprise attack by the Japanese in World War II!

These navy officers...

Dick Cheney felt for the first time that once the war began, it would no longer be controlled by the American way.

This war is on the edge of a cliff, and you will fall into the abyss if you accidentally fall! He suddenly remembered this sentence, but he forgot who said it. This sentence is so terrible...

Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.

In front of the Ninth Army Command in the outskirts of Riyadh, a group of senior officers stood in front of the temporary camouflage tent waiting for Liu Ming's inspection.

A signal came from the front, and with a command, the temporary command center was busy. The generals gathered together quickly dispersed and stood at a long-planned position according to their respective departments and positions. Soon they formed a neat small square formation. These people not only belonged to the Ninth Army, but also participated in the battle air force, strategic missile force and logistics personnel of the Southern Military Region.

General Ahmed Abbas, commander of the Ninth Army, led his military personnel to stand in front and wait for Liu Ming's arrival. No one doubts about this. On the one hand, Ahmed Abbas is the person with the highest rank here, and on the other hand, the Ninth Army is the general offensive unit for this attack. They are Honghua and the protagonists, while the others are supporting roles.

"Sir, on behalf of all the officers here, on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Army, I welcome you to the front line for inspection." Ahmed Abbas took a step forward, then raised his hand respectfully to salute.

"Allah bless you, Commander Abbas! Haha, you look in good spirits!" Liu Ming also smiled and raised his hand to return the gift.

Ahmed Abbas introduced to Liu Ming other officers who came to greet him. In fact, this was just a routine matter. As the Iraqi ace force, the Ninth Army received great attention from Liu Ming. The officers of the military headquarters had more or less contacted this young national leader before, and some were his former subordinates, so they did not have too much politeness, just saluting and saying a few words casually.

After all, what Liu Ming is most concerned about is the battle situation on the front line, and polite things should not be carried out for too long.

"How is the war going?" After entering the command center of the Ninth Army, Liu Ming asked Ahmed Abbas immediately. (This book is on 17k Chinese website, please support the authentic version!)

"The frontal resistance is very strong, but the front line has been fully broken through and is advancing in depth. The Ninth Division's progress on the West Wing is not bad, and it has divided a regiment of the 82nd Division. However, the Third Armored Cavalry Regiment is very tenacious and keeps breaking eastward!" Ahmed Abbas did not make any politeness and reported immediately.

"Who is guarding the east?" Liu Ming asked.

"It's Sa Majid, the 67th Division!" Ahmed Abbas replied loudly.

"67th Division?" Liu Ming nodded with a smile. The Sassanian defensive troops could not stop a broken armored regiment in the United States. This time the Americans could not escape!
