In the combat command of the General Staff of the China General Staff, Mu Congwu once again held an operational meeting. It is more appropriate to say that it is the General Staff of the China General Staff rather than commanding the Iranian army in this war.

If Iran had followed the suggestions of the General Staff of China, the situation of the war would have probably been reversed long ago. However, it was because of Iran's stubbornness or out of its own consideration that the war was stuck. Iran's more than 800,000 troops could not defeat the NATO coalition forces. In addition to the gap in equipment, what is more important is the gap in military concepts and command art.

It is precisely because of Iran's disobedience that the war situation develops in the direction that China hopes. Try to extend the time of the US-Iran war, drag the United States to death in the quagmire of the Iranian battlefield, and further weaken the United States' economic and military strength. This is the result that China hopes to see most.

In fact, this cannot be blamed for the Iranian commander being too stupid. The main reason is that the advice provided by China to them is too ambiguous, which also aggravates the suspicion of the Iranian commander and makes them hesitate and let go of the favorable opportunity on the battlefield in vain. As for whether this is the intentional act of the General Staff of China, I am afraid anyone will understand it very well.

In this way, Iran cannot say anything even if it suffers a loss. After all, China has provided them with advice. Who can I blame if Iran’s choice is wrong or fails to adopt it?

Ma Hongming said at the meeting: "The purpose of the NATO coalition is very obvious. They have adjusted the offensive focus of this war in time, from the original to the middle breakthrough. Now they have dragged 40% of Iran's ground troops in the Great Bruce War Zone, and 30% of Iran's troops on the center line. The remaining 30% of the troops are some ground defense forces. If the US military annihilates 30% of Iran's troops in the Iraq area, the situation of Iran's war will inevitably undergo a very big change. After losing nearly one-third of the main force, what will Iran use to defend the second line of defense and the vast depths?

Mu Congwu nodded: "Now the same problem is facing the NATO coalition. If NATO has sufficient confidence and strength to invade this area at a lower cost, they will face the city of Tehran and threaten the stability of the Iranian regime. If they lack the strength in this regard, they will fall into the Alam area if they hesitate. At this time, another 300,000 local troops in Iran will play a huge role."

The laser indicator rod in Mu Guoxing's hand drew a big circle in the Alam area: "Faced with this severe situation, Iran can only adopt guerrilla tactics. The US military trapped in guerrilla warfare will find it difficult to play the role of large-scale corps operations. Although Iran cannot defeat the US military armed to the teeth on the front battlefield, it is their strength in the guerrilla battlefield. At least, the US military has not yet been able to summarize effective tactics against guerrillas. Whether in Iraq or Afghanistan, the US military has not been able to wipe out the guerrillas."

"General, should I inform Iran of these situations?"

Mu Congwu smiled and shook his head: "I think it's okay. We have given Iran too many suggestions. If you point fingers in front of others all day long, no matter how good your friends are, they will be annoying. The commanders of Iran are not fools, and they will not be unable to see this. The next step is to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. At this time of the war, the NATO coalition should also give some sweetness. Otherwise, how can people be retained?"

Ma Hongming glanced at Mu Congwu, but did not speak, but nodded slightly. It was only at this time that he fully understood the central government's strategic policy and quickly decided to drive the NATO coalition out as soon as possible. This is only in the interests of Iran, but China may not hope for this result.

As the ground war gradually deepened, anti-war sentiment in the United States became increasingly high. The huge casualties and war losses made most Americans disappointed with the Bowman administration.

The only thing that made the Bowman government feel pleased was that they received strong support from the arms group and the energy group. We should know that the war is about material consumption and logistics supply. These interest groups make a lot of money, but the unlucky ones are the ordinary people in the United States.

As the war reached its fourth week, US Secretary of Defense Chase announced the budget plan for additional military expenditure for the year. According to the Department of Defense's budget, the United States will pay up to 800 billion yuan in additional military expenditure in this war, of which 600 billion is used to purchase weapons and equipment and ammunition, 500 billion is used to pay additional personnel expenses and pensions for casualties, and the other 150 billion is used to develop new weapons and equipment.

Taking out the development costs of this 50 billion new weapon equipment can also be said to be a helpless move by the US Department of Defense. In this war, the Chinese weapons used by Iran left a deep impression on the US military. Not only the advanced fighter jets of China's J-18 and J-20, but also the Hongqi 16 air defense missiles provided by China for Iran also gave them a headache, let alone Iran imitated the heavy anti-aircraft carrier missiles that were copied from China.

For many years, the United States has claimed to be the world's number one military power. When they woke up, they found that they had been far behind by China. Not to mention conventional weapons, even the anti-missile defense system established by China made them far beyond their reach. Only then did they realize that they were lagging behind was a bit too late?

In the seventh week of the US-Iran War, the US team attacking Iram and Bakhtaran achieved a huge victory. Two US airborne divisions attacked Koramabad and Sanamdaji in a short time, respectively, blocking the retreat of the Iranian army and forming a siege.

At the same time, three mechanized divisions of the US military in Iraq also launched a fierce attack on this area. In just 72 hours, the two heavy armored divisions and the revolutionary guards of the three divisions arranged here in Iran were completely defeated.

The Iranian supreme leader delivered a televised speech, calling for the launch of a "national guerrilla war" to resist the American invaders. This shows that Iran finally adopted the suggestions of the General Staff of China and corrected the battle with the United States head-on in the early stages of the war. The lessons of blood and fire finally made the Iranians smarter.

After Iran launched the magic weapon of "guerrilla warfare", the US military faced more difficulties. According to an analysis report by the relevant assessment agency before the war, the US military must invest at least 100,000 ground troops in the central battlefield of the Western Front to open Iran's western gate. If Iran launches a large-scale guerrilla warfare, even if the US military invests another 100,000 ground troops, it will not be able to approach Tehran.

Bakhtaran Province is the second largest province in Iran after Tehran, with a total population of nearly 5 million residents. Although some of the residents are Sunnis, the remaining 70% of the residents are Shiites. Once the US military falls into the quagmire of guerrilla warfare, it will be difficult to complete the combat operation to capture Tehran.

The shortage of US troops is still a secondary issue. Judging from the US mobilization mechanism, the ground forces that can be invested are likely to exceed 300,000. The key question now is whether the US military can withstand the huge casualties caused by this war.

In the three years before the Iraq War, the US military paid a total of thousands of officers and soldiers to be killed. Compared with Iran, Iraq can be regarded as a "paradise" for the US military. The US military overthrew the Iraqi central government in one fell swoop, dealing with extremist organizations and mobs. However, Iran's central government is still standing in Tehran, and both the president and the supreme leader have strong appeal.

In addition, Iraq's ethnic components and beliefs are very complex, and they are divided into three powerful forces, including the Kurds, Shiites and Sunnis. The US military can support one of them to deal with the other two forces and reduce its own pressure. However, Iran does not have such a complex ethnic component, and its national cohesion and religious appeal are obviously above Iraq.

In addition, most parts of Iraq are plains and deserts, suitable for mechanized troops to fight. Most parts of Iran, especially in the central and northern parts, are plateaus and mountains, and are not suitable for mechanized troops to fight. Therefore, many factors determine that it is difficult for the US military to have good "results" in Iran.
