Chapter 1286: Nanyang is the light of justice (first update, please subscribe)
Most of Mesopotamia has a tropical desert climate, but in the south of it, in the Fao area at the mouth of the Arabian River, everywhere They are all lakes and swamps.
Despite this, Nanyang’s armored and mechanized troops are still unstoppable!
On the afternoon of "A-Day", a huge landing force composed of 57 landing ships arrived at Faao. In the evening of the same day, under the lens of the camera, almost in a live broadcast, the Nanyang Army's first , the 4th Armored Brigade, carried out the landing.
ZT-1A tanks roared out of the landing ship one after another, and thousands of officers and soldiers landed amidst the welcome of the locals.
There was no resistance, only the welcome of local people waving the flag of the Kingdom of Iraq - most of the residents in the south are Shiites, while Qasim and others are Sunnis. Population-wise, the former are Iraqis. Mainstream, but the latter came to power through military means. After taking power, they suppressed the Shiites in the south.
Not only Shiites, but also Kurds and Christians have suffered repression. This is completely different from the tolerance and equality of the King's era. It is for this reason that these people will welcome the King from the bottom of their hearts. Return.
As for the Nanyang people... those are the allies invited by the king!
This scene was naturally spread throughout the world through communication satellites, allowing people in front of the TV to see how the Iraqis "eat the kettle of pulp to welcome the king's master."
The news reporters’ interviews with the locals also directly slapped the United Nations in the face - they told reporters about Qasim’s brutality and their memory of the king, and of course, their feelings about the Nanyang host Righteous gratitude.
In this way, the troops of the two armored brigades surged towards Baghdad with almost unstoppable momentum. With the cooperation of the Iraqi army, they did not encounter any resistance along the way.
But for the whole world, the real shock was not the triumphant advance of the Nanyang Armored Forces, but the manner of this war.
One night!
No, to be more precise, just a few hours!
A devastating and gorgeous attack can completely destroy a country's resistance.
Such brilliant and even incredible results naturally attracted worldwide attention.
From CBS to NBC, from ABC to large and small American TV stations, almost all the news has repeatedly repeated the picture provided by Asia Television - Tomahawk missiles tearing through the night and flying into the distance from the warship picture.
Under the deliberate propaganda of the military, the "decapitation operation" carried out by the Air Force raiders using laser-guided bombs was intentionally or unintentionally ignored, and the "Tomahawk" cruise missile became the protagonist in this war.
To a certain extent, this is based on political considerations-after all, the Nanyang aircraft entered Iraq through the airspace of other countries. So, let’s give the halo to the cruise missile!
In fact, there is another reason for how to do it. That is, compared with aircraft, missiles are more difficult to defend and more threatening. At least to a certain extent, they are more sudden and can arouse people's fear, or the fear of some people.
Facing a devastating attack!
The whole world is silent!
Even the Soviet Union, which had previously shouted that "Nanyang will definitely pay the price for their invasion," was confused this time.
No way, this attack completely subverted their understanding of war. While the Soviets were still thinking about their "big deep operations" and Marshal Chuikov was still shouting about the "wedge offensive", the sudden precision strike of cruise missiles blinded their eyes.
Is this really a war that silences people - is this a war?
As for the United States, although it originally stood with Nanyang and wanted to get rid of Iraq. But there was silence at this moment, and the generals in the Pentagon also looked at Iraq with dumbfounded eyes, watching the scene that was replayed over and over again.
Oh my God, I was stunned.
The reason why they were shocked was not just because of the Tomahawk cruise missile, but also because of this new way of playing!
“The Tomahawk cruise missile launched from Nanyang destroyed the core of the Iraqi Qassim regime in just a few minutes. Almost all the top officials of the regime, including Qasim, were killed by the missile. Cleared, its command system has completely failed..."
On the TV, American military commentators and hosts were discussing the "Southern War Model", the Tomahawk cruise missile and the new model. changes to the war.
"You may be curious, why was there not a single military target among the targets in the first round of attacks? Yes, this is also the core of the "Nanyang-style strike", although there was not a single military target in the first round of attacks. , but among the targets that were hit were senior officials of the Iraqi Qasim regime and senior military generals. This is a change in the mode of war."
"According to the information we have obtained! , the core of the military plan formulated by the Nanyang military is "Operation Decapitation", which is the tactic that Nanyang is best at and the tactic they are most accustomed to using!"
As soon as one military commentator finished speaking, another one The commentator took up the topic and said:
“Beheading operation!
This is the best method of fighting for the Nanyang army, whether it is in Siam or Saudi Arabia’s “secret operation” - although it was not until Now, Nanyang has not admitted that it launched the air strike, but they all started with beheading operations.”
Until now, the annihilating air raid suffered by the Saudi royal family has always been a mystery. Nanyang neither admits nor denies it, but the whole world knows who did it, and now the old story is being mentioned again.
“And now, Nanyang’s attack on Iraq is also the same. It’s just that technological advancement has allowed Nanyang to take this “decapitation operation” to the extreme, at least to the extreme of this era. We can see , at the very first moment of the war, they used Tomahawk cruise missiles - this is a new type of high-precision missile that can hit a house thousands of kilometers away!"
When the Tomahawk cruise missile is mentioned, the eyes of military commentators are full of surprise. They even specifically analyze the changes that the emergence of this missile will bring to the war model.
“We can see that in this war, Nanyang has started a new war model. This war model is more like a revolution! A military revolution!”< br>
A military commentator who had participated in World War II looked at the TV camera and said in a tone that was difficult to calm down:
"The pattern of wars in the past is - during wars, politicians provide ammunition, rich people provide food, and poor people provide children. After the war, politicians secure their positions, rich people get more food, and poor people look for their children's graves. Regardless of war Just or not, the cost of war is always borne by the people at the bottom! Those who initiate the war almost never have to pay any price, but... everything has changed now!"
The military commentator picked up the battle axe! photo of a cruise missile, saying:
“The “decapitation operation” implemented in the Nanyang-style war will completely change this traditional war model, and it will truly turn the war into a battle between politicians. The game is personally participated by the politicians, who directly face the consequences of the war and avoid huge casualties among the people at the bottom. Therefore, I think "Operation Beheading" is a very humanitarian way of fighting."
"Harry! Colonel Si is right, this is definitely a very humanitarian way of attacking - whoever starts the war will be killed. This is good." As soon as he finished speaking, the host interrupted him and said: < br>
"But professor, wasn't Nanyang the first to launch this war?"
"Will, what you have to see is why Nanyang launched this war. Are they the invaders? No, the entire Iraq Everyone is welcoming their arrival. After Qasim came to power through military reforms, he implemented a brutal rule that persecuted millions of people. Nanyang was invited by the Kingdom of Iraq to help Iraq regain its freedom!"
The professor specifically emphasized:
“Nanyang is not the initiator of war, but a fierce defender of freedom. Perhaps, just like Mr. Li Nian’s speech at the United Nations-the United Nations should not and cannot become a rogue. Sanctuary, without Nanyang's decisive intervention, the Iraqi people will always live under Qasim's brutal rule, but the United Nations still condones it in the name of sovereignty to harm the Iraqis..."
"But professor, if no one stops Nanyang, can any country use such reasons and excuses to invade other countries in the future? Will this be the trigger for a new war?"
In this way, the interview originally centered on the military changes brought about by the new weapons turned into a debate. Both sides discussed Nanyang's behavior based on their respective positions, but overall, they formed a lasting impression on the audience in front of the TV. An impression - Nanyang is upholding justice for all mankind.
“Their views are very interesting. They seem to be blaming Nanyang, but in fact they are telling the whole world that it was the inaction of the five major countries that led to the disaster in Iraq.”
In the waiting room of New York Airport, Princess Addis watched the program on TV and said in a slightly sarcastic tone:
"But it is also true. If there had been a big country upholding justice at that time, , even if a military coup occurs, it will not lead to the displacement of millions of people.”
Adis has always been resentful towards Britain, the United States and other countries. After all, it was their inaction that caused her. His younger brother and the entire royal family were brutally wiped out.
You know, Iraq has always been loyal to the British Empire. Even during the "Suez Canal Crisis", Iraq was the first to stand up to support the United Kingdom. This kind of complete abandonment and disregard for believers has naturally been criticized by all parties. Despite the opposition, even Pakistan at that time was on the side of Egypt.
But even if you are so loyal, what did you get in exchange?
It’s betrayal!
After the military coup that year, when faced with atrocities, they just lightly said a few words of condemnation, and then nothing more!
Obviously, both Addis and others have overlooked that the UK is really unbecoming of a man. In October of that year, they did not even take the initiative from their own cousins. , which directly caused the cousin's family to be suddenly attacked.
But having said that, it seems that only these two royal families have been wiped out.
“ABC is ours!”
Looking at the programs on the TV, Li Yian said to Addis:
“This TV station was established more than ten years ago when I came to When he was in the United States, he bought it, so to a large extent, he will speak for us from our standpoint. After you return to Iraq this time, you must learn to deal with the media, especially the media in these Western countries. After all, , Times have changed!”
Many people are not aware of this yet, let alone other countries, even the United States is not aware of the impact of public opinion on war. Otherwise, they would not have been killed by their own public opinion during the Vietnam War.
During the Vietnam War, the US military won every battle, but they lost every minute on TV!
And this was also the fundamental reason why they ultimately lost that war, because the direct reports of the public opinion media caused all actions of the US military to be controlled by public opinion.
This is true for the United States, let alone other countries.
“Yes!”
Princess Addis, who took the initiative to throw herself into her arms, nodded and said:
"I know, thank you. Without you, I really don't know what I would do, let alone return to Iraq."
Women's gratitude comes from the bottom of their hearts. When they are abandoned by the whole world, Only Li Yi'an stood up and expressed support for them, not just verbal support, just as he promised - he would return her to Iraq and restore the rule of the Hashemite dynasty in Iraq.
Now, he did it!
Taking the woman into his arms, Li Yian patted her back and said:
"There is no need to be so polite between us. After all, Shia is our son. You return to Basra Finally, we must pay attention to uniting the majority of the people, and we must unswervingly promote secularization. As long as the influence of those factions is still there, Shia's rule cannot be stable. Let Said do this..."
Of course, others should do the dirty work. As for the king... just be a good person on the sidelines.
"I know..."
Putting her face against the man's chest, Princess Addis nodded:
"I really don't want to leave you, but...for Shia, for the sake of our son, I have to go, I want to wear the crown for our son myself!”
This is the promise of being a mother!
"I know, and I will make sure of this for you!"
This is a father's promise. In the future, Nanyang will station troops in Iraq for a long time. With them here, no one will be able to launch another military coup.
Ten minutes later, Princess Addis flew to Portugal on a C717 that once belonged to the Iraqi royal family. It would fly from Portugal to Basra via Rome.
After Addis's plane took off, Li Yian also left the United States on a special plane. When the plane left New York, looking at Manhattan under the wing, he said silently:
"Okay. Now that Nanyang’s card has been played, it depends on how you pick up the card!”
