Chapter 166: Beneficiaries of the Deepening of the Cold War(1/2)
.After the US military concentrated journalists at the headquarters news center on security after the Dhahran missile attack, and carried out news control. Therefore, in 1991, the Iraqi April Fools' Day missile attack, and the "Desert Saber" operation launched by many countries, were not known about the specific results.
What countries around the world know is that after this large-scale ground attack, the US military retreated to its starting point and did not attack Kuwait as it wished.
In this sand-sabre operation, the US military announced that more than 900 people were killed in the battle, more than 3,000 people were killed in the "ineffective treatment", more than 7,000 people were injured, more than 30 tanks, more than ten aircraft, and more than 20 armed helicopters were lost. The results of destroying 50,000 to 70,000 Iraqi troops were achieved, and it is estimated that hundreds of Iraqi tanks and more than 40 aircraft were destroyed. It is said in a daze that the troops of many countries also destroyed two Iraqi air defense missile positions, curbing the attempt of a superpower to intervene in the Middle East war.
Iraq also made a big fuss on TV. Through the TV screen, they showed the wreckage of tanks and armored vehicles such as MAL, Challengers, crashed US and British fighters, parachuting pilots, etc., which caused a strong shock internationally.
Saddam also announced on TV that, thanks to the support of advanced weapons of a superpower, they set up traps when the US military advanced to the ground, surrounded and annihilated a tank company of the US military, defeating the US military that came to rescue, and destroying tens of thousands of US troops in total.
His words are obviously not true and are very serious.
But both sides have shown that a superpower has intervened in the war, and this superpower should of course refer to the Soviet Union.
The reason why multinational troops withdrew from ground combat should be to avoid head-on conflict with the Soviet Union.
The situation in this way was beyond everyone's expectations, and the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued a statement saying that it was closely abiding by the UN's decision to make a decision and had never supported Iraq. Saddam's statement actually wanted to provoke internal chaos in the anti-Iran camp. But at the same time, he also said on TV that using force is not the best choice, but it is better to persuade Saddam to spread his troops from Kuwait through negotiation.

The United States frivolously rejected the Soviet Foreign Minister's suggestion that air bombing continued, but did not take ground military action again.
Judging from this result, it seems that Saddam won the tactical victory.
However, more than half a month later, Iraq announced that under the mediation of the international community, they decided to evacuate Kuwait. Saddam personally called on the TV screen that the Arabs would not attack the Aladdinians.
Iraq also requires that the Kuwaiti royal family and citizens can return to their country, but multinational troops are not allowed to enter. Otherwise, the Iraqi army will fight to the death and blow up the Kuwaiti oil well in the event of failure.
The US military expressed caution about Iraq's statement and doubted the sincerity of the Iraqi army.
Gulf countries such as Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan welcomed them.
At the end of May, Iraq began to send troops from Kuwait on a large scale. Only a symbolic reserve of armored regiments was retained in Kuwait. United Nations personnel entered Kuwait for verification, confirmed the fact that the Iraqi army was separated, and demanded that the Iraqi army completely disperse.
The forces of various parties were verbal and criticized each other around the armored regiment of the Iraqi army in Kuwait.
However, with the large-scale dispersion of the Iraqi army, the situation in the Gulf began to ease, which became an indisputable fact.
More behind-the-scenes political transactions were underway and continued for several months. It was not until the end of the nineteenth year that a brigade of the UAE escorted the Kuwait royal family and returned to Kuwait. The US military did not enter Kuwait from beginning to end.
For a moment, the Soviet Union's prestige in the Middle East once again increased.
People are convinced that the Soviet Union did interfere in the war in Iraq and gave Saddam strong support.
The Soviets in the Middle East have once again become taller.
Countries around the world discovered it once. Although the Soviet Union seemed to be sick and blind, it was still one of the best superpowers in the world.
In the Soviet Union, many citizens also believed that the government was supporting Saddam. Iraq's local victory also restored some self-confidence to the Soviet people, and many celebrations were held spontaneously in the Soviet Union.
The biggest benefit from this aid was not Gorbaggio's loss or Yeltsin, but those hardliners. People believe that the Soviet Union should still show a certain tough attitude and use the developed military industry to win the respect of the world.
This argument has been rampant for a while.
After careful consideration, the Soviet government decided to send a huge delegation to mediate the relations between Iraq and its neighbors.
As the Soviet delegation came to Iraq, speculations about a secret agreement between the two countries were even more confirmed by people. However, not long after, rumors of the Soviet Union cheating Saddam of billions of secret military purchase funds were reported. While further confirming that there was some connection between the two sides, the entire incident became more confusing.
The United States immediately jumped out. This proved that the Soviet Union was involved in the Gulf War and made tough protests against it. A huge anti-Soviet wave was set off in the United States.
The new online media, National News Network, has published consecutive reports on the Gulf War online.
This time, the National News Network took the lead in the accusation against the Soviet Union. They published many photos online. Among them, there were a few photos taken from a distance with blurry pictures. There were several people wearing Soviet uniforms mixed in the middle of the Iraqi army.
One of these photos was taken at the missile factory in Iraq. A senior commander of the Iraqi army accompanied the Soviet army to inspect the radar network repairs. A frontier defense site was inspected.
Such ironclad evidence was as strong as a mountain, and a sensation suddenly formed in the whole world. The fingers of accusations were all directed at the Soviet Union.
The Soviet side naturally tried its best to defend itself, but it seemed to be too rude.
In the Soviet Union, cheered and cheered for the government's tough performance.
The United States and other Western countries were so angry that they were so angry that they did not dare to take action. However, in public opinion, they kept making anti-Soviet remarks, and the relationship between the Soviet Union and the Western group deteriorated rapidly.
All parties were quarreled for a while and decided to set up a local investigation team such as the United States and the Soviet Union to find out the truth.
At this moment, there was an Eastern European newspaper. First, one of them was recognized from those blurry photos. The name of the man named Biarovich, who had visited Eastern Europe with the Soviet military delegation in the 1980s.
All of a sudden, the whole world caused a sensation.
The Soviet Union noticed something was strange, but domestic and international forms made him unable to distinguish. The more he tried his best to distinguish, the more suspicious it was.
No matter how much the Soviet Union defended it, it would be useless.
Even when they discuss this issue internally, they also blame each other for shirking responsibility. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused the military of overreaching power and providing assistance to Iraq, which caused them to be passive in diplomacy. The military denied it and believed that the secret service was responsible for the private operation.
When things got here, there was no need to continue the investigation.
Suddenly, news came that Binanovich was caught by Norwegian police in Nordic. He fled to a small Norwegian town and was recognized by a local resident.
During the investigation, Biarnovic insisted that he was employed by the Soviet government and should enjoy the treatment of a government diplomatic envoy.
Just when he was handed over to the US Central Intelligence Agency by the Norwegian police, he was still shouting long live the Soviet Union. This photo of him raising his arms and shouting became one of the most famous photos circulating in the world.
This secret assistance operation was also recorded in the World Agents Book and became a classic case.
First it successfully deceived the United States, according to Bianovich, who pretended to be rebellious, in Europe
He once again joined the secret agents of the Soviet Union. He lurked in a Soviet-owned company and sneaked into Iraq through civilian channels.
Secondly, it unexpectedly disrupted the US military plan. After helping Iraq restore some of its military strength, it also provided a large number of active Soviet weapons and equipment. In addition, the Soviet military was chaired by the local Soviet military. It intercepted the troops of many countries and an email from a staff officer to reveal the US military's combat plan to Iraq, and directly caused the US military to crash into the Iraqi ambush circle when it attacked the US military.
Iraq used two sets of the world's most advanced air defense missile systems. In the future, the US fighter jets were caught off guard.
At the same time, the armored assault force with the genuine t72 as a sharp knife took advantage of the tank advantages and quickly encircled and annexed a rampant tank company of the US military. It also with a solid position to withstand the US military's fierce attack, forcing the US military to give up its costly ground operations and retreat to the launching position.
The secret military operation of the Soviet Union aided Iraq was rated as a model of modern espionage operations and received extremely high praise.
Faced with the cheers of the domestic people, the West gritted its teeth. All the Soviet leaders were speechless.
They really couldn't be happy.
After this incident, the already extremely enthusiastic relationship between the Soviet Union and the West fell rapidly and fell below freezing point. The Western group confirmed that all the guarantees of the Soviets were unreliable.
The Western group now has two clearly hostile targets: Iraq in the Middle East and the Soviet Union in Europe.
For these two countries, they are all determined to get rid of it and get it done quickly.
It’s okay for Iraq to say that the Soviet Union, they thought they would collapse on their own, but who knew it was still so difficult. Through the Gulf War, the Western group understood the principle that if they won’t die, they would suffer the consequences.
While they stepped up their infiltration of the Soviet high-level leaders, they also dispatched troops to further compress the Soviet space.
On the other hand, they also launched a massive propaganda offensive, continued to vilify the Soviet Union, and formed an anti-Soviet front internationally. Some countries that had friction with the Soviet Union were all attracted by them.
The relationship between the West and China was once again strengthened and became their partner to contain the Soviet Union.
It turned out that the Soviet Union had cowardly compromised and some loose relationships were once again strengthened. Many equipment and technologies that were previously listed on the ban list were introduced to China in large quantities under the names of investment, cooperative development, and aid.
But from another perspective, the Soviet Union and Iraq, where living space was strongly compressed, had to strengthen their relationship with each other to keep warm.
Faced with a forced offensive from Western groups, the internal land affairs dispute in the Soviet Union came to an end for the time being.
The Soviet upper-level and military negotiated with the West many times without success. Driven by the waves of nationalism in China, it also adopted a confrontational approach, transferring the army to the border and posing an unyielding attitude.
The support of the Soviet citizens for the government was on the rise for the first time. The production lines of military factories and mines were started on a large scale again, and countless weapons were placed in the production lines and placed in the troops. The Soviet Union and Iraq quarreled for a long time. It was Iraq's first compromise. After a few months of cursing the Russians in the Presidential Palace, Saddam admitted that he had transferred the wrong money. He repaid billions of outgoings in exchange for a large number of Soviet weapons.
The Cold War has deepened to a new stage.
As the international situation changes, China has been watching coldly, enjoying the benefits of deepening the Cold War.
Especially the military, during the high-tech military exercises at the end of 1988, the military had a relatively clear goal in developing high-tech weapons and scheming new tactics.
This time, I saw the entire process of the Gulf War with my own eyes, and the military also organized an expert team to conduct a profound analysis of it.
The military affirmed the effectiveness of high-tech weapons and determined the future development direction. Moreover, according to Iraq's response methods, as the same disadvantage, the domestic country is also summarizing how to face the attacks of high-tech weapons, disturb and counterattack them.
Fighting cruise missiles, stealth aircraft, and information has become the primary topics of military research.
After research on Iraq's response methods, a military theory called the Super Limit Field was quietly spread in the military and was quickly spread to society.
The so-called "overlimit" means attacking the enemy and using everything to the extreme.
If I can avoid your advantages, you cannot compete with each other head-on. But to maximize your weaknesses, such as information, logistics support, and people's hearts, to achieve "you hit yours, I hit mine", so that the other party can pay a heavy price.
Anti-satellite weapons, anti-radar systems, intercontinental missiles, long-term submarines, warhead technology, and laser technology are listed as key development projects in military industry research.
Xiao Qiang also became the research object of military system through the roundabout channels. Based on the reference to the Soviet air defense missiles, he improved his own air defense missile system and improved China's air defense system.
While rebelling, how to strengthen one's own strength has also become the focus of the military's consideration.
With the help of Western local technology transfer, assistance, and cooperation with our own scientific research, we will build a complete communication network so that the enemy cannot be defeated or blown up. Improve satellite positioning technology. Continue to build a Beidou satellite navigation system to ensure that the missiles give the enemy the heaviest and accurate strikes.
While continuing to adhere to the task of economic development as the center, China has concentrated in the high-tech field as much as possible through limited funds.
In the first half of 1992, China announced that it would defeat 500,000 troops, and in the second half of the year, it would dismiss 300,000 troops.
A large number of farmland reclamation troops that opened land and farmed were reduced. The command organization was streamlined and the combat deployment was adjusted. The old weapons and equipment were sold to third world countries. The saved military expenditure was used to change the troops.
This year, the Difanyi light fighter jet was finally launched using American engines.
Its basic components, including the main airborne radar systems and electronic warfare systems, have all been successfully localized. Of course, there is still a considerable gap compared to foreign countries. For example, airborne radars are equivalent to the level in the early 1980s abroad. They lack early warning aircraft guidance and have limited combat effectiveness.
However, the advanced data link system adopted by domestic research institutes has improved the combat effectiveness of FC-1.
Data link sharing makes the fighter formations in tight formations exposed to the enemy without having to drive the radar. The pioneer guide transmits its radar search signal to the rear formation, covering their existence and improving their survivability.
The transmission method mainly uses mechanical transmission, which is to save costs. However, electric transmission has also been tested to set a foundation for the next step of development.
