Chapter 100: The Two-Iraq Alliance
This reaction is understandable, really! If the United States' maritime hegemony starts from the five-nation naval treaty, Britain recognizes the equality of the US Navy and itself, it has been nearly seventy years since this year. This time, a fearless challenger appeared once, and this challenger is well known as an army power, so the United States cannot bear it.
In a sense, the United States is also proving something. So in the face of the dispatch of the two major Soviet red flagship fleets, they quickly made tit-for-tat arrangements to reflect the advantages of the ocean. Deep in their hearts, Reagan might not only win, but also win beauty, and use the most powerful American navy to boost the national spirit.
Using the ocean as the battlefield, the two largest marine forces on the earth have fought a unique confrontation. Although the probability of a war breaking out is not high, it is also very risky. No one wants to fight rationally, but who knows what will happen? Danger has always existed, and nothing in the world has never been a certain one.
As soon as the sun was exposed to the sea, the US aircraft carrier began to accelerate in the wind with the core of the fleet, accompanied by several destroyers. Dozens of fighter jets on the flight deck were ready for flight, and the pilots were all staying in the cabin and doing the final preparations before takeoff with the help of the aviation service personnel. As a red signal flare rose into the sky, the first-ranked f14 fighter jet was ejected first. Then the fighter jets behind them left the flight deck one after another.
The Fifth Fleet's accelerated pursuit of the Soviet Red Flag Mediterranean Fleet naturally also included threats. The f-14 fighter jets are not unfamiliar with the Soviet Union, so the Iranian People's Air Force equipped the f-14 fighter jets. Because of this, the Soviet Air Force specially detected the specific parameters of the f-14 fighter jets and also used a batch of f-14 fighter jets for modification.
So when the F-14 fighter jets that took off from the US aircraft carrier battle group approached the sky above the Soviet Red Flag Mediterranean Fleet, it did not cause panic among the Red Flag Mediterranean Fleet. The radar had been turned on, and all air defense missiles were put into standby. The Red Flag Mediterranean Fleet was still moving forward at full speed and continued to march eastward.
This dangerous and restrained contact is almost every hour. Whether it is Americans or Soviets, their spirits are in a state of high tension. Will there be any tension and fire? This possibility of course exists. Whether it is carrier-based aircraft over the sky or missiles on Soviet warships are manufactured for decoration, and their purpose is to be used for combat.
Of course, the Red Flag Mediterranean Fleet not only has various types of missiles, but also the Kiev-class aircraft carrier, the latest Soviet vertical take-off and landing fighter, Yak 141. The Soviet Union began to develop a carrier-based vertical take-off and landing fighter in the late 1960s. It also carried out carrier-based flights on the USSR Gorshkov, the USSR Marshal. After the design was completed, it was ready to carry the Yak-141 fighter on aircraft carriers such as Kuznetsov.
As we all know, all kinds of Soviet fighter jets cooperated with the army's tank army's attack, and almost all combat radius was short. Because the accident rate of Jacques-38 is high, the number of ammunition loads and radius was nicknamed the Mast defender. The Jacques-141 fighter jet is much larger than the Jacques-38. It is a new carrier-based fighter jet equipped for the Soviet Kiev-class aircraft carrier. In order to be used throughout the year in the Indian Ocean, Pacific and Mediterranean, the Jacques-141 is designed based on the international standard atmosphere plus the atmospheric conditions of fifteen degrees Celsius, rather than being completely suitable for the local climate of the Soviet Union.
"They are here again, this kind of harassment is really disgusting." A commander in the combat command room of the USS Kiev aircraft carrier, who was looking at the charts with a pencil, said irritably. The harassment of US carrier-based aircraft made the entire Soviet Red Flag Mediterranean fleet annoyed. Almost every once in a while, the Jacques-141 vertical take-off and landing fighter jets took off to drive away the US F14 fighter jets.
The Jacques-141 vertical take-off and landing fighter is now the most advanced vertical take-off and landing fighter in the world, but when faced with the heavy carrier-based aircraft like the F14, it is still a bit powerless. Boxing is also divided into levels, and heavyweight boxers and lightweight boxers will not fight together. This kind of confrontation will suffer the Soviet Union.
Even in later generations, no one would think that the f35 fighter that imitates the Jacques-141 vertical take-off and landing fighter can compete with the F22 heavy fighter, let alone now. Even if the Jacques-141 is the most advanced vertical take-off and landing fighter, it will not work.
There is another problem with the Jacques-141 vertical take-off and landing fighter due to the technology of the times, that is, the general deck cannot hold on, and the high temperature baking of the Jacques-141 engine.
"There is no way, keep moving forward and rush to Indonesia. We won't be too entangled." Admiral Geronoplo, commander of the Red Flag Mediterranean Fleet, calmly ordered, "We must carry out the central government's orders and not have much contact with Americans."
"But!" The commander who had just spoken had to say something more, but was severely stopped before he could speak.
"Nothing but to carry out the central orders." General Geronoplo said in an unquestionable tone, "We must be responsible for our motherland. We do not lack the courage to die together, but we must also measure whether it is worth it."
In history, General Gernooplo did not order a war between our ship and our ship, but instead restrained the anger in his heart and made a decision that bordered on the contrary to himself in another time and space.
As General Geronoplo once again determined to keep restrained and move forward at full speed, the Red Flag Mediterranean Fleet continued to rush to the fullest, continuing to keep a state of tension, and dealing with the harassment of the US Fifth Fleet that was not far or near.
"Follow the other party, we cannot leave our attack range. The Pentagon has already shown that our base in Australia is ready for supplies!" Such a voice came from the Fifth Fleet flagship.
This kind of harassment is enough. The Soviet Red Flag Mediterranean Fleet is not weak. The Fifth Fleet cannot guarantee that it will escape unstoppable. It is not something that Americans want to see if they force the Soviets to be too anxious. If they make the prestige of establishing their prestige becomes to put themselves in, they will become pretending not to become fools.
The United States is the least willing to show its strength with an opponent like the Soviet Union. If possible, it would be better to replace the Soviet Union with Nicaragua. The Fifth Fleet, which was chasing the Red Flag Mediterranean Fleet, began to accelerate and continue this pursuit battle. Similarly, the Fifth Fleet has become farther and farther from the Persian Gulf.
Because of the dispute between Australia and Indonesia, after the United States and the Soviet Union began to stand on the ground, it finally became the focus of the world. While the ocean was confronting, Egypt first expressed its support for Indonesia, and most peace religion countries stood on the side of Indonesia. The reason is very simple. In the eyes of most peace religion countries, Indonesia is a peace religion country.
This kind of cognitive error is common, just as Selov once thought that India was a Buddhist country for a long time because Buddhism originated in ancient India. But in fact, whether it is modern India or modern Nepal, the biggest religion is Hinduism, and Buddhism has long been on the verge of extinction.
Most people have a certain degree of lag in understanding the world. The saying that peace believers in the world are all brothers is just a saying.
When all the attention of all countries was diverted, some places that really needed attention began to move slowly. The Persian Gulf, the center of the world's energy, was unprecedented in decades. Baghdad and Tehran began to carefully evaluate the success rate of the action for the first time.
When to act, in what name to advance, to control the situation as soon as possible. Modern countries need to formulate detailed combat plans, and the era when the emperor starts war with the order has long passed.
The situation faced by Baghdad is actually very clear. The total strength of Kuwait is only 10,000, and Iraq does not deploy many troops on the southern territory, only one-quarter of the national strength. This ratio is actually not malicious about Kuwait. There is only three divisions of troops close to Kuwait. Baghdad has this confidence that as long as the military operation begins, he can take down this southern neighbor in one day, which is consistent with Moscow's judgment.
The situation Iran faces is much more complicated. Everyone knows that Bahrain is located in the Persian Gulf and is a very important island. However, many people don’t know that although Bahrain is a Shiite country, it is geographically close to the Saudi side. It is twenty-five kilometers away from Saudi Arabia, and it is connected by a cross-sea bridge between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. The cross-sea bridge between the two countries has been open to traffic for three years.
If Bahrain's geographical location was not important and it was not easy to split, the UK would not have liked this place at the beginning. Bahrain, 25 kilometers away from Saudi Arabia, is more than 200 kilometers away from Iran.
Iraq is facing a conventional land war. Although the enemy Iran faces is weaker, it is a real cross-sea battle. I don’t know how difficult it is than Iraq.
"To be honest, we must need the help of the Iraqi People's Air Force, otherwise we will be unable to cope with our own abilities! We cannot put all hope on the water and land tanks. Although the surface warships left by the United States in Bahrain are not powerful, that is for the Soviet Union. If we send a landing ship, we may be sunk all in the process. Only by combining airborne combat and water and land tank raids, coupled with our lurking secret armed forces, can we be sure of victory." This is the result of the internal discussion in Tehran.
Iran has an airborne unit that can be used for combat and its combat effectiveness is quite good. It was trained by the Soviet military advisory group, and the Iranian People's Air Force also has American and Soviet transport aircraft for combat. When the Soviet Union attacked Turkey, it used water and land tanks to cross the Black Sea, and this practice was also absorbed by Iran.
