Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and the "Desert Shield" operation that followed the United States put the slightly calming Middle East in a dangerous situation again. The United Nations Security Council, as a coordinated world security affairs, held an emergency meeting at the first time. While condemning Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, it also began to discuss military solutions with the benefit of the United States.

To this end, US President Bush made three consecutive televised speeches, which was unprecedented in his warnings to Iraq. As for Iraq, he turned a deaf ear to the US's demands. While the United States launched a large increase in troops, it also dispatched troops to Kuwait. Within a week, hundreds of thousands of elite Iraqi troops were assembled on Kuwait and the Ishaa border area, in order to create a fait accompli for annexation of Kuwait.

The United States seems to have expected Iraq to be fearless. While using diplomatic means to delay, it is also stepping up the "Desert Shield" operation. In an instant, the US military, naval, land and air were three-dimensional, with dozens of large roll-route cargo ships traveling between the ocean, hundreds of large transport aircraft one after another, hundreds of thousands of American soldiers preparing for their troops, sharpening their swords and pointing at Iraq, which is ready to move.

The war is about to break out, and even fools can see that Iraq and the United States will inevitably remain unstoppable. Some people are angry and cheering for such a situation, but more people voluntarily act as melon-eating crowds, carrying small benches to watch the show. Among these people, the Soviet Union is definitely the most active one...

In the war chess refinement room on the third floor of the Soviet Ministry of Defense Building, the Soviet Union trusted the Minister of Defense Marshal Yazov and stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the situation of troops deploying on the sand table with bright eyes, which seemed very relaxed. This was the fourth time that the Soviet military has made war chess refinement against the United States and Iran since the outbreak of the Gulf crisis.

Relying on decades of understanding of the US military's tactics and accurate grasp of Iraq's equipped with a large amount of Soviet-style equipment, Yazov believes that their deduction results are the most accurate in the world. He also has the same idea and Akhromeyev, who has just taken over as Chief of Staff, is a clever and serious Soviet marshal, who does not have much hope for the US military's ground war:

"Iraq officers and soldiers have experienced the baptism of the Iraq-Iraq War and are experienced in many battles. Their experience is comparable to any army in the world. On the other hand, although the US military has the advantage in weapons, they have no experience in large-scale ground wars after the Vietnam War. What's more, Iraq is stronger than the US military in terms of armored power and artillery numbers. As long as they rely on a solid defense line to deal with the US military, they will inevitably put the US military in the quagmire of Vietnam. The four consecutive weapons deductions in the past few days are enough to prove this conclusion!"

"Iraq is slightly lacking in offense, but it is very well-organized in defense. The practical experience of the Iran-Iraq War is enough to prove this. If the US military really wants to make up its mind to fight a ground war, it is really possible to get caught in it!"

Yazov nodded, his thick voice was extremely loud, and he made the final conclusion with confidence of no other than me. What he said was not wrong. The Iraqi army can be called a lion of war, and the elite Republican Guard is a rare trump card. In addition, the entire army structure is completely formed according to the Soviet model.

Therefore, he has been well-educated in the Soviet army in terms of technology and tactics, especially in defense operations. Relying on the solid fortifications in depth, the Iraqi army can calmly transform offense and defense. Perhaps in the end, due to the huge gap in national strength, Iraq will lose to the United States, but before that, Iraq will definitely bite the US army with its sharp teeth......

Marshal Akhromeyev agreed very much: "So, my suggestion is not to intervene in the dispute between the United States and Iran, and wait for the United States to fall into the quagmire. This may be a good thing for us."

"Good things are indeed good things!" A gloating smile appeared on Yazov's serious face: "In recent years, because of the United States' reckless behavior, our external environment has become extremely harsh. If we can drag them into the quagmire this time, it may not be impossible to reappear in the Vietnam War. In this way, we can also have a chance to breathe."

"Okay, I understand!" Akhromeev nodded: "I'm like President Go~~~~~~~ President Bachev reported, morally we should do the same."

"Of course, we can also use the opportunity of mediation to reveal some information to Iraq, which is also a little help to old friends!"

"I hope Saddam won't be so happy that he can't sleep after learning it..."

As soon as Akhromeyev finished speaking, Yazov looked at each other and then laughed loudly...

The Soviet military's prediction and evaluation quickly reached Iraq's ears, making Iraq feel like it was injected with chicken blood, and its fighting spirit was so high that it was almost out of the blue. In order to cheer itself up and to dampen the morale of the US military, the Iraqi propaganda department deliberately or unintentionally promoted the results of the Soviet weapons deduction. In an instant, the US military was about to fall into the second Vietnamese quagmire.

In fact, it is not only the Soviet military that sees this way, but other major military powers in the world also have the same idea. Even Britain, France and other countries that have joined the coalition forces think that if Iraq really fights to the death, tragic casualties will be inevitable. Even the US military itself cannot guarantee that the largest overseas operations of the US military will be smooth since the Vietnam War. This can be seen from the fact that General Powell, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, instructed the logistics department to prepare tens of thousands of body bags.

However, not all countries are not optimistic about the forms faced by the US military. For example, hard-core dogs like RB Australia are firmly convinced of the US military. In their eyes, not to mention a mere Iraq, even if they are aliens, the American soldiers who ride on their heads all day long can beat him to death with one blow.

Of course, let alone these two guys who only remember to beat and not hurt, there is indeed a country that predicts that the US military will achieve an overwhelming victory after rational analysis, and this country is China across the sea from the United States! Thanks to the development of arms in the past decade, a large number of knowledgeable and capable young generals have gradually stood out;

The Army's Army Wei Army, Zhou Rui of the Air Force, and Xu Yuanchao of the Navy, they brought this brilliant army not only vigorous vitality, but also technical and tactical innovations that subverted the past, from the successful use of anti-artillery radar during the Sino-Vietnam artillery battle, to the understanding of modern naval warfare during the Madao naval war; from the overwhelming end-sensitivity bomb outside the city of Horamshahr to the success of fighting against anti-radiation missiles during the air offensive and defensive war in Tehran; from the proposal of precise strikes during the Laoshan battle, to the long-range strikes on the periphery of Hanoi in the late stage of the battle; from the construction of a new generation of air combat system between J-H-9 and high-tech institutions, to the final victory of the Sino-South China Sea conflict!

It can be said that the Chinese army has undergone extremely profound changes from the construction of equipment system to the application of tactics. Although the famous high-tech equipment has not been equipped across the entire army, a large number of long-term key officers have long abandoned the old-fashioned tactics and began to try new tactics with epoch-making significance. Because of this, in their opinion, the US military with absolute technological advantages will not only not fall into the quagmire, but will also shock the whole world with a refreshing victory.........

"I have read your report. To be honest, it gives me four words. That's incredible. Not to mention me, even if I give this report to the US military, I guess they won't believe it!"

In the headquarters building of the Military Commission, Jiang Huichuan, who was in charge of daily work, clicked a thin page report on the desktop, saying it was very rude, but the inadvertent appreciation from his eyes clearly indicated that he was quite interested in this report, because this report not only evaluated the trend of the Gulf War,

In addition, a series of improvement suggestions were put forward for the existing shortcomings of the Chinese military, several of which were quite constructive, so that even Jiang Huichuan, who was used to the storm, could not help but be moved. However, Jiang Huichuan did not immediately put this report into practice. The reason was that there were many different opinions in the military;

Especially on the issue of ground war between the United States and Iraq, many veterans who have experienced battles on the battlefield are the same as the mainstream opinions of other countries such as the Soviet Union. They are not optimistic about the performance of the US military in ground warfare. As for Zhou Rui's proposal that the air force is dominant, they even sneered. If everything can make the air force decide the outcome, what else should the army do?

The integrated air-ground and air-ground proposed by the Army Weijun and Xu Yuanchao, the attack mode from sea to land, made a group of veterans shake their heads and bring out several classic battles before liberation, and carefully discuss the key to the victory or defeat of a war lies in people and lifeless technology. Then, the feasibility report "Looking at the development of the Chinese Army in the next 20 years from the Gulf Crisis" written by these three hard-working people into the cold palace.

However, some people sneer at this, but some people think that every word in this report is Jizhu, and Jiang Huichuan, who presides over the daily work of the Commission, is the one who knows the most. The shock of the Battle of Horse Island is still vivid in my mind, and the conflict between China and South China Sea that he personally experienced is even more unforgettable for his life;
