Chapter 319 War breaks out
The intelligence of the United States attempting to use oil to trigger the Third World War was soon transmitted back to the country by Zhang Yuxin. When Mr. Zhang answered Zhang Yuxin's call, he suddenly fell into deep thought.
With the development of technology, people-sea tactics can no longer be used to win wars like World War II. Winning a war is more about high-tech weapons and excellent soldiers. As the former leader of the Tang Empire, Mr. Zhang knew very well that the Tang Empire was very different from that of the weapons and equipment and soldiers of the warfare technology. Once a war really broke out, unless the ultimate weapon was used, the Tang Empire would have no hope of winning at all.
Therefore, once a war occurs, if the Tang Dynasty does not have the intervention of Shenglong Island, the Tang Dynasty would not have won the war at all. However, what is the real purpose of Shenglong Island to this day? Mr. Zhang has not yet figured out that if Shenglong Island is allowed to intervene in the war of the Tang Dynasty, will Shenglong Island take the opportunity to replace the Tang Empire government?
Mr. Zhang thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't come up with a proper measure, so he finally took a bus to the office building of Chief No. 1.
When the head of the Tang Empire No. 1 learned about the real purpose of America, he was also shocked by this information. The Tang Empire immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss the information from the Holy Dragon Island and study the detailed response methods.
Just after the United States issued an ultimatum to Iran, dozens of warships of the American Atlantic Fleet reached the sea less than 100 nautical miles away from Iran almost at the same time, and they were ready to take the initiative to launch an attack at any time.
Time passed quickly. When the 24-hour countdown ended, American warships in the Gulf area first launched an attack. More than 200 Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched from the warships with red flames, illuminating the black night sky and roaring towards all military bases in Iran.
After more than 200 missiles roared out, dozens of aircraft took off from four aircraft carriers and flew into Iraq. The energy war that had been brewing for several years in the United States officially began.
Under the attacks of a series of latest aircraft and various precisely guided weapons, the United States carried out multi-directional, multi-wave, and high-intensity continuous air strikes on targets within the country, which greatly weakened the command, control, communication and intelligence capabilities, war potential and strategic attack capabilities of the Iraqi army, and was fully utilized by the American army at this time.
Although the first strike of the United States has achieved very good results in the eyes of the American military, even making them believe that the first round of air strikes almost destroyed most of the targets on the ground of Iran, they did not realize that Iran and the United States have been in hostile relations for several years. The senior leaders of Iran expected that sooner or later would meet the United States. In order to resist the United States of America, they have been secretly preparing for the past few years. They appeared to be hiding many military bases underground. When they were subjected to air strikes, they quickly avoided air strikes and preserved their strength by evacuating and other measures.
However, because the American military intelligence agencies believed that the Iraqi troops suffered heavy losses after the air strikes and missile attacks in the United States, their command was interrupted and their supplies were exhausted. They did not know that the strength of the Iraqi team was completely preserved under the first strike of the United States. When the American ground forces began to assemble and prepare to enter the country, the Iraqi team fired dozens of missiles at the assembly site of the American army, causing the American army to suffer more than 100 casualties.
At the same time, the Iraqi team deployed more than 1,000 mines in the Gulf area to prevent American warships from approaching the port of Iraq. As a result, when several American troop transport ships attempted to land, two troop transport ships were injured due to mines.
Compared with the Battle of Saint Dragon Island, hundreds of casualties are not considered a loss at all. However, Saint Dragon Island is an organization with military strength beyond all countries. However, Iran has been in danger for several years because of the American economy. Under such circumstances, the United States still made hundreds of casualties pay after the first attack, which undoubtedly made the top leaders of the United States very angry.
In order to ensure that similar casualties reappear, the United States launched another attack on the exposed targets in the country of Iraq in the next three weeks, and confirmed that all the main military targets of Iraq were destroyed, the first American land expeditionary force launched a ground attack to attract the attention of Iraq and create conditions for the development of the attacking forces in the western region.
Although the soldiers of Iran are also very powerful, in the face of advanced military forces, these soldiers are completely vulnerable. Not long after the war, they were taken advantage of the advantages of air maneuver and strong armor assault power by the Seventh American Army and the 18th Airborne Army, with the support of the Navy and Air Force, surrounded the Guard of the Republic of Iran in the south of Iran, and were finally successfully eliminated.
The energy war initiated by the United States fully reflects that weapons and equipment are based on a highly intensive technical basis; the strike method is no longer dominated by large-scale damage, but highlights the accuracy of strike on the basis of relatively reduced destructive power; the scope and process of the entire war are regarded as a complete system, and the coordination and temporality of war are unprecedentedly prominent, and it also shows many new characteristics of the combat style produced by the application of new combat means and combat ideas in war.
At the beginning of the moment when the energy war was launched in the United States, all countries attached great importance to the direction of the war. The performance of American soldiers on the battlefield undoubtedly made all countries realize the strong military power of the United States. So not long after the war broke out, all countries held emergency meetings on the performance of the American army on the battlefield.
Especially the Tang Dynasty's top leaders, because the Tang Dynasty is the only country that knows the ultimate goal of the American war to trigger this local war. Although the Tang Empire's military strength has been greatly leap with the help of Shenglong Island, after integrating the military strength of the United States, the Tang Dynasty's top leaders found that there is still a great distance between the Tang Dynasty's military strength and the United States. Without the intervention of Shenglong Island, the Tang Dynasty's Empire would have paid a terrible price even if it successfully repels the invasion of the United States. By that time, some parties in the former government of the Tang Dynasty would definitely stand up and take advantage of the unstable situation in the Tang Dynasty to solve the problem until the Tang Dynasty's government was finally overthrown.
Considering the consequences that would occur after the outbreak of this war, the atmosphere in the conference room became very heavy. All the senior officials of the Tang Dynasty who attended the meeting frowned and discussed how to deal with the crisis.
Everyone discussed for a long time, but they could not discuss a proper way. In the end, Mr. Zhang, who sat aside and did not speak from beginning to end, said, "Since everyone cannot discuss a result, I will make a suggestion. Although the Holy Dragon Island is not under our control, Wu Shengjie of Shenglong Island is also a native of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, from his intention to reveal the information, he is still concerned about the safety of our Tang people, so I think we can send someone to Shenglong Island to find Wu Shengjie for help."
Everyone present has not considered it, but these senior officials of the Tang Dynasty have always been wary of Holy Dragon Island, fearing that Holy Dragon Island will take the opportunity to enter. Therefore, although everyone knows that only Holy Dragon Island can help the Tang Empire resist the invasion of the United States, no one will take the initiative to bring Holy Dragon Island.
At this time, when everyone in the conference room heard Mr. Zhang mentioning Holy Dragon Island, they really faced this problem. Because everyone in the conference room knew very well that as long as Holy Dragon Island was willing to intervene, the Tang Dynasty could easily defeat the United States, so several senior officials present immediately discussed this issue.
"Old Chief! You are right. If Holy Dragon Island intervenes and helps us, we will be able to win this war at a very small price. However, Wu Shengjie from Holy Dragon Island has always had great opinions on our government. Once Holy Dragon Island intervenes, I am worried that it will be easier to invite gods and send them to gods!" After talking to another chief next to him, the No. 3 leader of the Tang Dynasty raised his worries with a rigorous look on his face.
The leader next to Chief No. 3 heard the statement from Chief No. 3 and immediately continued: "Although Holy Dragon Island repeatedly emphasized the unwillingness of the national regime and even gave up the extremely tempting conditions offered by the United States, he is obedient to others. Although the intervention of Chief No. 3 can easily crush the aggression of the United States, after winning this war, how can we invite the power of the Long Island out of the country? If the Long Island proposes to manage this country with us, how should we refuse? Do we really have to rule this country with them?"
"Everyone! Please don't forget that when the United States launched an attack on Holy Dragon Island, the United States not only destroyed the entire army, but also had no casualties in Holy Dragon Island. Our staff analyzed the military strength of Holy Dragon Island. If Holy Dragon Island wants to dominate this planet, Holy Dragon Island can easily do it with the power it currently possesses. So I think Wu Shengjie may really be as he said, without any intention of the regime on this planet, and even prepare to leave this planet." Wei Haibo, the Minister of Defense of the Tang Dynasty, heard the concerns raised by Chief No. 3 and the other Chief No. 5, finally stood up and stated his thoughts.
