Chapter 842 is quite cool
When Yuki Nandao appeared beside Jing Jian with sleepy eyes, it was already dawn, and Jing Jian was watching TV and yawning boredly.
There is no error in memory and no history. It should be said that Jing Jian’s butterfly has too small wings and has no ability to change the timeline here.
As expected, after the implementation of the ultimatum, Iraq's dead-spoken sarcasm refused to implement the UN resolution. Perhaps they considered themselves the third military power in the world (it seemed to be a tragedy that was the third in the world, and they were often stripped down immediately and could not keep their pants). They could also cause major casualties to the coalition forces led by the US military, and then negotiate a more favorable peace agreement.
It should be said that judging from the written figures of equipment and troops, Iraq does not seem to be very weak, and it has also been recognized by most military critics around the world. Even the United States is not very confident. Before the war, it had prepared tens of thousands of body bags for itself. It is believed that it will definitely win, but it also recognizes that it is about to face a tough battle.
However, the US government's determination to start a war was unshakable. As soon as the deadline passed, President Bush immediately issued an order authorizing military operations. At the same time, military bases all over the world, aircraft and cruise missiles taken off from aircraft carriers began the first phase of strategic bombing, and bombed more than 300 targets in 12 categories, including Iraq's leading bodies, key production institutions, infrastructure and field forces.
However, friends who are interested in military affairs already know that this war has epoch-making significance and is a revolution in information wars. The representative of this revolution is the strategic bombing six days before the war begins. Although in the eyes of people in the new century, the bombing at this time seems to be very "primitive", I think of how many military technologies are applied to the current daily life command system and transformed into civilian Internet; the communication system has changed the previous "Yangtze River, Yangtze River, I am the Yellow River" and has become a mobile phone that everyone cannot live without; as for the positioning system, let alone...
It can be said that the high technology in it completely subverts the human world.
In addition, the result of this war also shocked the whole world. When the number of troops and heavy weapons on both sides (not considering generation differences here) was basically equal, until Iraq surrendered unconditionally, during the 38-day air assault, Iraq's command and control system was completely paralyzed, the Iraqi army was defeated on its entire line, and 29 divisions lost their combat capabilities.
Moreover, during the war, a small behind-the-scenes scene appeared. The Iraqi Air Force fled Iran on a large scale at the beginning of the war. I was very curious. When Iran saw Iraqi fighter jets that were still mortal enemies in the past few years landing on their airport, were they speechless? Or were they confused?
By the end of the war, the Iraqi army suffered about 100,000 casualties (of which 20,000 were killed), and 175,000 were captured, losing the vast majority of tanks, armored vehicles and aircraft. However, only 148 were killed (138 were killed in non-combat), and 458 were injured (2,978 were injured in non-combat). 192 were killed in other countries and 318 were injured. Such a huge casualty ratio could no longer be described as "beating a kindergarten friend".
...
For Jing Jian at this time, of course he knew what the result was. The reason why he was so excited to watch the live broadcast all night today was nothing more than a feeling of witnessing the moments of history.
However, when I really watched CNN live broadcast, I couldn't help but feel disappointed. In fact, the real live broadcast scene was quite blurry. It was just a fireworks in the east and a fireworks in the west, and I couldn't understand the situation on the scene at all. Especially Jing Jian had watched the highlight documentary of the Gulf War in his previous life, which was so exciting and had a clear explanation as hindsight. Compared with the current live broadcast scene, it was completely a sky and a ground.
Jing Jian also started to yawn constantly, preparing to turn off the TV and end the boredom. However, Yuki Mitsushima was confused and interested: "Hey, Jing Sang, what kind of war movie is this? Is it an old movie?"
Looking at the curious and cute kitten of Yukichi, Jing Jianle said: "It's not a movie, it's news. The United States is airstrikes in Iraq."
"Ah? News? Is it now?" Yukiji Minami was surprised. "Why are they fighting?"
Jing Jian was speechless and explained it so that the beauty in front of him who was ignorant of the questions and questions could understand roughly. Unlike the domestic people who are used to the news broadcast and have some understanding of international news, except for those elites, ordinary people never care about other news except paparazzi news, and the TV stations do not broadcast much.
Of course, women are even more so. To be honest, the proportion of international and domestic news among American media news is relatively large, but the guests around Jing Jian are still indifferent, and may not be much better than the Snow Snow in the South Island. It is not like in China. Before the Gulf War, military magazines in major newspapers and magazines were already overwhelming.
After Jing Jian finished speaking, Yuki Mitsushima nodded in a vague way: "So that's the case. The Iraqi president is a war dealer, and the United States deserves to be the leader in defending world peace."
"?" Jing Jian was speechless. The previous sentence was just fine, what the hell was that sentence "America defends world peace"?
"Oh!" Yuki Minamishima suddenly smiled, as if he was happy for Jing Jianzhi. "Jingsang, will oil prices increase? No wonder you will mine oil here."
"Ahem." Jing Jian couldn't help but tell Yuki Mianjima that it was very "unfortunate" news, "In fact, oil prices fell sharply today."
After the war started, Jing Jian had already spoken with the United States on the phone. As in memory, the oil futures market began to fall rapidly after a brief rise. Perhaps the market had already digested all the bad news. When the war really started, it released all the pressure and indirectly reflected investors' confidence in the victory of the US-led coalition.
"Uh?" Suddenly I realized that I was wrong, Yukiji Minami was quite surprised, "That... that..."
Jing Jian held back his smile: "Don't worry, what I bought in the futures market also fell, I made a little profit." It was indeed a little bit, that is, 70 to 80 million US dollars. Although it could not make up for his funding gap, it was quite pleasant to show off his bad nature in front of beautiful women.
