Blooming America

Chapter 1084: Looks like... Have fun?

How much change can a set of effective actions bring to people?

Let's put it this way, when most people make a punch, it is the strength of the arm. Although the fist is very powerful, it actually does not cause much damage.

But in another way, it's different.

Let the martial arts masters act, their power comes from the earth.

Starting from the feet, transfer the power through the waist to the arms. Although it is the same punch, even if the strength of the two sides is the same, the punch of the master of martial arts can make people choke.

And Catherine is now learning such a highly efficient combat mode.

After the oil crisis broke out, Catherine became less busy. After a series of initial changes, everything seemed to enter a period of gradual stability.

-This is of course, because the Iran-Iraq War was originally stinky and long.

If it weren’t for Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, the Iran-Iraq War might not end so soon.

"Fight the worst war with the most advanced technology."

This is Catherine's view of the Iran-Iraq War.

It now appears that this is indeed the case.

Khomeini’s appeal is very strong, and Boer is also very powerful. The Soviet Union declared a neutral position on the surface of the Iran-Iraq war, but in fact it has always supported Iran.

Although Iraq occupied some of Iran's territories at this time, Iran, with the support of the Soviet Union and other forces, might not be able to fight.

However, Iran is destined to be impossible to fight against Iraq, because the United States does not like the current Iran. On the contrary, it is Iraq that reassures them the most.

Perhaps there are no hostage incidents now, but Khomeini has made a lot of anti-American remarks, which makes the Americans still very uncomfortable with Iran.

After a temporary relief, Catherine finally had time to take care of her own affairs.

And this thing is that set of techniques for exerting strength.

...Catherine is training...

"This situation is troublesome..."

When Sean Conte received the new standby notification, combined with the news he inquired, Sean found out. The current situation of the Iran-Iraq war seems a bit subtle.

——The Soviet Union intervened in the war.

This is definitely not good news.

And Sean probably knew what his training meant.

Although he didn't say it on the surface, Sean understood. His future work is very likely to be involved in the Iran-Iraq war.

After resigning as an instructor, Sean returned to the army but participated in the volunteer program.

This plan is very good, but Sean has a vague illusion of "selling himself".

Hmm... it's like now.

Although they are participating in the experiment, they cannot refute what they say they are going to do.

The blame is Sean when signing the contract. If you didn't read the content clearly, you were forced to do so.

"War..."

Sean sighed.

This thing is really troublesome.

...

"The Soviet Union sends troops?!"

To be honest, Catherine was shocked when she heard the news.

She even stopped her work.

Although the news was very exciting, but fortunately, after Catherine heard the detailed news, she was relieved.

——The Soviet Union did not send troops, but the mercenary group "Moscow Hotel" accepted Iranian employment...

But a discerning person took a look. Just know the problem.

Fortunately, neither side seemed to have any plans to tear their faces, but the news was too shocking. It's unbearable.

Both Iran and Iraq are big countries in the Gulf region. They have a long history, rich oil resources, strong economic strength, and important strategic position; their foreign policies have a greater impact on the situation in the Middle East, and they are important competitions in the US-Soviet global strategy. the goal.

The Soviet Union and Iran established diplomatic relations very early (the Soviet Union established diplomatic relations with Iran in 1923, and the Soviet Union established diplomatic relations with Iraq in 1958). After Khrushchev came to power, especially since the Brezhnev regime has stepped up its hegemonic expansion policy, both Iran and Iraq have become the key targets of Soviet expansion and penetration.

Although Brezhnev had died at this time, this was just a small episode.

Although Andropov is more "harmonious", this does not mean that Andropov is weak.

How can a KGB leader go hand in hand with weakness?

Andropov's skill in this area is even stronger than Brezhnev!

Before, the Soviet Union wanted to develop close relations with Iran and Iran at the same time. They have become important bases for the Soviet Union to pursue its southward strategy and compete with the United States for the Middle East. However, due to historical border disputes and Kurdish issues between the two countries, the two countries have long had deep grievances.

Especially when a war broke out between the two sides, the two countries became unshakable enemies. This has made the Soviet Union's policy towards Iran and Iraq always in a dilemma of wanting to have both sides, but also suffering from inexorable conditions. Therefore, the Soviet Union could only make a choice between the two based on the development of the situation and the needs of its own interests.

Obviously, Andropov chose Iran.

Just the same as in history.

In Catherine's view, this is also inevitable.

Iran is close to the southern border of the Soviet Union and is the key to guarding the Gulf. Its strategic position is more important than that of Iraq. Moreover, from a strategic point of view, it believes that once it controls Iran, it will hit the United States and the West far more severely than controlling Iraq. .

"But there is really no problem sending mercenaries in this way..."

Catherine was still a little strange.

Although the Moscow Hotel is a mercenary on the surface, everyone knows that this "mercenary" is not as simple as it seems. This mercenary can be said to be another form of existence of the Soviet Red Army...

That's right, that's it.

And the United States was terrified by Iran's blatant behavior.

The Soviets put on a vest and went to the battlefield. Is this clear to interfere? !

But on the surface, they can't say anything, because this is the rule of mercenaries.

Facing this news, Catherine was also very interested in how the United States would develop.

But I was disappointed that the United States did not act, but chose to wait and see.

There is no way, Catherine can only forget it temporarily, and continue to train her own strength skills.

But this time. Khomeini suddenly seemed to short-circuit a nerve.

In other words... Khomeini suddenly didn't short-circuit and was uncomfortable.

On June 8, 1976, the United States accepted Shah Pahlavi in ​​exile and allowed him to receive treatment for cancer in the United States.

At this time, Khomeini and the leftist groups in Iran immediately protested strongly. Resolutely demand that the Shah be sent back to the country for trial and execution. The incident reminded the revolutionaries of Operation Ajax 23 years ago, when the CIA and British intelligence agencies jointly planned a coup to overthrow the Iranian patriarchal government while the Iranian Shah was in exile.

But until June 11, something happened that made the US government at a loss-a group of students from Khomeini disciples occupied the US Embassy in Tehran and hijacked 52 embassy staff!

The hostage crisis is seen in the United States as a blatant violation of international law, arousing strong indignation and anti-Iran sentiment. However, the Occupy Embassy was widely supported in Iran, and Khomeini used the slogan "The United States can not deal with us with **** behavior" as a support.

Khomeini expressed all kinds of contempt for the United States. This makes the United States extremely angry.

On July 4, on the U.S. National Day, Khomeini announced that the Iranian Parliament would decide the fate of the hostages in the U.S. Embassy and demand that the U.S. repatriate the Shah to Iran to stand trial for endangering the country. Khomeini’s supporters called the U.S. embassy "the nest of espionage", claiming that they had found ordnance, spy equipment, and many official and confidential documents in the embassy.

This powerful mocking technique of action faction mocked the world's number one dps. Although the physical attack power of this dps is not as high as that of the Soviet Union, it has a lot of field control skills!

The United States reacted immediately to this.

Because the Iraqi leader was seriously ill, the Americans got in touch with Saddam. And took the lead in helping Saddam to accept a series of cooperation plans, and exported the m70a1 tank.

The m70a1 tank, this kind of tank that has never existed in history, appeared because of the Y fire control system. Popular at this time.

As a main battle tank, the performance of the m70a1 is very superior in various aspects.

With regard to this matter, Catherine even maliciously guessed that if the blow tank was put into practical use, maybe the United States would directly give the Iraqis this blow tank.

On the other hand, the United States has also launched an economic blockade of Iran.

Although Iran’s national power and population are several times that of Iraq, Khomeini is a leader, but he is not qualified at all in managing the country.

After he mastered Iran. He didn't have the slightest idea of ​​improving the economy. The Iranians were even more unfortunate. At this time, Khomeini told these people that relative to their gods, material life is nothing at all.

Compared to the blatant Soviet Union. Americans are more restrained.

At least the Americans did not send "mercenaries" to fight.

——Actually, if you don't restrain yourself, you can't do it. If you don't restrain yourself, then fight with the Soviet Union. Then there will be a real fire. It is possible to directly evolve into a world war!

The thought of this might cause the outbreak of the Third World War.

Once World War III breaks out... it will be a nuclear war.

So the U.S. has no Soviet Union for now.

But the United States does not bird the Soviet Union, and it does not mean that the Soviet Union does not bird the United States.

Economically, the Soviet Union used the opportunity of the United States to impose an economic blockade on Iran and tried to develop economic relations with Iran in order to create Iran’s economic dependence on it.

As the United States and some Western countries imposed economic embargoes on Iran, Iran’s industrial raw materials and machinery and equipment have lost their sources. The operating rate of domestic industrial enterprises is only about one-third. If you fight against Iraq, the money consumption is also huge. The port was also forced to close due to the war, transportation was extremely tight, and the people’s daily necessities were severely lacking, and so on.

Iran’s economic difficulties have provided favorable conditions for its northern neighbor, the Soviet Union, to infiltrate its economy.

In response to the serious shortage of domestic supplies in Iran, and the Soviet Union took advantage of the emptiness, Andropov actively developed foreign trade relations with it.

Although Iran and the United States are antagonistic, they have the support of the Soviet Union. As far as Iran is concerned, the impact is not so great.

In September, the Soviet Union proposed to the Iranian government that the Soviet Union and Iran should conclude a 25-year cooperation treaty; it even sought to restore the Soviet-Iran Friendship Treaty signed in 1921 with Iran. The treaty stipulated that the Soviet Union could do so in two situations. Military intervention in Iran: First, as another country is trying to use armed force to gain control of Iran; second, the Soviet Union can use Iran as a base for its actions when necessary.

However, Khomeini seems to really have a higher eye. With regard to the Soviet contract, Khomeini simply does not kill you.

"But... will the Soviet Union always support Iran..."

Catherine suddenly asked such a question.

"Of course not."

She asked and answered.

Iraq is also one of the important countries in the Middle East. The relationship between the Soviet Union and Iraq in the 1960s was not close. Since the beginning of the 1970s, due to the reversal of Soviet-Ethiopian relations, the Soviet Union felt the need to develop its relations with Iraq. Attempt to replace Egypt with Iraq.

In 1971, the Soviet Union provided $600 million in "economic aid" to Iraq: following the exchange of visits between President Saddam Hussein and Prime Minister Kosygin in 1972. As a result, the two sides signed a "Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation" out of their own needs.

After the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War, the Soviet Union declared its neutral stance on the Iran-Iraq War due to the inconvenience of supporting Iran publicly due to the prior "covenant" with Iraq. But in fact it is supporting Iran to win.

This has also led to the deterioration of relations between Iraq and the Soviet Union.

After the Iran-Iraq War began, Iraq had the upper hand. At this time, the Soviet Union was very worried that Iran would fall to the West due to its military disadvantage. Therefore, under the banner of neutrality, the Soviet Union vigorously supported Iran with arms and weapons secretly.

Perhaps it is because of Khomeini's tricks that the situation in Iran is rotten, so the situation facing Iran is very serious, in order to prevent the emergence of some problems. Also in order to help Iran, the Soviet Union shamelessly dispatched reinforcements at this time.

Well, on the surface it is a "mercenary".

but. What if things get better?

Historically speaking, the Soviet Union played a very disgraceful dual-faced role.

Historically, Iran has rebelled against the defensive and has taken the initiative in the war situation and pushed the war forward on Iraqi territory. In this case, the Soviet Union felt that the original fear that Iran might fall to the West was obviously superfluous; in addition, the domestic situation in Iran had changed unfavorably for the Soviet Union. Therefore, Andropov, the historical one -It is believed that the top priority is to switch to supporting Iraq with arms and weapons.

Catherine could probably guess Andropov's intentions.

Some time ago, Andropov finally killed his mortal enemy. After that, Andropov was ready to flex his muscles.

Andropov tried to quickly change the passive situation of the Soviet Union's inaction in the Middle East. In the six months since he was in power, there are two things that are most noticeable in the implementation of the Middle East policy: one is to provide Syria with a large number of arms and weapons including the Sam-5 missile; the other is to run the Moscow hotel into the Middle East...

For a long time, the Soviet Union tried its best to win over and please Iran in an attempt to drastically improve its relations with Iran and eventually bring it into the Soviet sphere of influence.

But Catherine knew. As long as Khomeini is still sitting in that position, the Soviet Union's efforts are minimal.

This can be seen from the fact that Khomeini is rounding up Marxist-Leninists-people don't even look at Andropov's face.

The Soviet Union’s consistent efforts in this regard have had little effect: Iran is quite guarded and will not give in lightly.

Over time, Catherine believed that the other side's position would definitely change.

"But the question now is whether the Soviet Union can't hold back its breath first, or the United States can't hold its breath first..."

Catherine discovered a serious point in this problem.

If the Americans were uncomfortable and sent mercenaries at that time, the Soviets would definitely have a different view when they saw that the United States even dared to intervene.

——At that time, it will be nothing to do with Iran. The Iran-Iraq War will directly become a point of struggle between the two major powers.

"It's not that there is no such possibility, but to guard against it."

It seems to be playing off...

Catherine suddenly realized this.

(Speaking of which, if World War III breaks out, should I dig a shelter and hide it first?)

Catherine suddenly thought so.

But Catherine quickly eliminated this idea from her brain.

However, Catherine would not say that it is impossible to prevent the development of this matter.

At least when the United States is uncomfortable and wants to intervene, Catherine must first ensure that these people can exercise restraint and avoid conflict as much as possible.

"But the Soviet Union cannot give up..."

Given that Iran's strategic position was crucial to the Soviet Union's realization of its global strategy, Catherine did not believe that the Soviet Union would abandon its ambitions to control Iran.

Catherine believed that Iran was an important breakthrough for the Soviet Union to pursue its southward strategy, and it was also a strategic key to opening the door to the Gulf region.

However, despite the rapid development of the Soviet Union and Iran's relations, Iran has always been on guard against the Soviet Union's expansion ambitions.

Not only was the Soviet Union pressing the border near the Iranian border—Andropov had mobilized a total of forty Soviet divisions on it—but the Soviet Union also secretly supported Iran’s anti-government activities. Mainly to support the Iranian Democratic Party, cultivate pro-Soviet forces, and engage in intelligence work.

Especially when Khomeini started hunting down progressives.

Khomeini is like Emperor Shen Kai in the 1930s, but he is an activist. You don’t need a map to open up the borders and a diary to be a powerful country.

Perhaps Khomeini is a hard bone, but the actions of the United States can almost be said to have cut off the chance of flirting with the Soviet Union and Iraq.

This also meant that even if the Soviet Union faced the stones in this smelly and hard pit, Khomeini, it still had no choice but to pinch its nose.

But Catherine believed that once the opportunity came, the Soviet Union would inevitably make use of it in every possible way. In order to restore and improve relations with Iran as soon as possible, and penetrate into it.

"The key point of the Soviet Union's strategy is Iran, and for the United States, whether it is Iran or Iraq, it is equally important... Well, is there a way to come up with a way to make the Soviet Union and the United States no longer pay attention to the war itself? ...?"

After Catherine noticed that she was playing off and caused such a crisis. Catherine began to pay attention.

The establishment of the mercenary system, it can be said that Catherine is behind the scenes.

On the other hand, the Soviet Union used mercenaries to intervene in the war. This is also something that did not happen in the original era.

And the United States is about to enter the Middle East now, and Catherine feels a little unreliable in her heart.

Although I am in various comforts now, it is not clear what exactly will happen at that time.

At this time, Catherine began to recall the history of the Iran-Iraq War.

The current two wars are similar in the slightest. The first period of the war took place in Iran.

In the past, when the time was in the second period, it was different. During this period, the war was in Iraq.

In July 1982, Iran concentrated 100,000 troops and launched a fierce attack on the Basra area in southern Iraq. After many tug-of-wars, by the end of September, the Iranian army controlled a narrow area of ​​more than 200 square kilometers in Iraq. Beginning in October, Iran sent another 50,000 troops to attack the Mandali area in northern Iraq. Go deep into Iraq and pose a threat to Baghdad. The Iraqi army organized seven counterattacks before and after, blocking the Iranian army in the border area. After February 1983, Iran again launched a series of offensives on the central and northern lines. Iraq basically held the line of defense. By the end of March 1984, Iran's offensive basically ceased.

In order to further force Iran to strike out and make peace, since April 1984, Iraq has adopted the policy of "compelling peace by war" and continuously launched active attacks on Iran on the ground and at sea. Launched a series of small-scale attacks on the Iranian army in some areas and used chemical weapons many times in the battle. At the same time, Iraq also used its air superiority to launch a "strike war" that shocked the world.

But after that, thanks to the support of the Soviet Union and France, Iraq gradually recovered, and then the war entered the third stalemate stage, which lasted for a full four years.

But now, will history continue to develop like this?

Now Iraq has the world's number one back-up, the United States, and Iran has the Soviet Union, but the relationship between Iran and the Soviet Union can be said to be a good match. Although Iran is stronger, it cannot cooperate with the other side.

However, Iraq has received a lot of aid ~lightnovelpub.net~ and the situation is better.

What will happen?

Catherine was a little puzzled.

At this moment, Catherine received a call.

She answered the phone and talked to the other side for a while, but finally Catherine smiled bitterly.

"It seems to be really fun this time..."

She murmured.

In September 1977, a U.S. mercenary formally accepted Iraq’s "employment" and entered the battlefield...

This time, it became the pk of the American soldiers and the Soviet Red Army...

...

Two chapters in one.

The third shift is complete...! ~!
