The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 732 Persuasion and Reluctance (asking for monthly ticket)

The whole world knows what Americans think!

During this period, the Arab world missed the good old Soviet Union.

When the Soviet Union was doing well, with the checks and balances of the Soviet Union, the Americans had to be careful and did not dare to push too hard, and they would all pretend.

But now, I don’t even try to pretend!
If the Arab coalition forces did not have as many as 88 troops, if they were weaker, the US military and its allies would have acted recklessly during this period.

Mubarak hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't guarantee that I can convince Saddam. I can only convince him to withdraw his troops this year."

"If, if I am detained by Saddam, Fahd, you have to help me, especially my country and my family!" Mubarak made his request.

Although he had a good relationship with Saddam, Mubarak was not 100% sure that Saddam would not detain him.

Saddam, that madman, is capable of anything.

During this period, there were constant revelations about things happening between Iraq and the United States, and the revelations could even be compiled into a book - "Things That Must Be Said Between Iraq and the United States".

It can be said that the United States is being attacked madly and without reservation.

Don't leave yourself any way out.

There have even been reports that the US military is going to capture Baghdad, capture Saddam alive, and put him on trial and hang him.

King Fahd nodded and said, "Just do your best. There is nothing we can do if he disagrees. Tell Saddam that as long as he withdraws from Kuwait, he will still be a hero in the Arab world, and we will still be good friends and brothers!"

"If he dares to detain you, please rest assured that Egypt will be fine and your family will be absolutely safe! I will send someone to pick up your family and leave Cairo for China." King Fahd said solemnly.

Mubarak has been in power in Egypt for ten years.

Although Mubarak's rule is currently as stable as a rock, it does not mean that Mubarak has no opponents.

Once Mubarak was detained by Saddam, it was possible that uncontrollable factors would arise in Egypt.

King Fahd entertained Mubarak, and after the banquet, Mubarak went directly to Iraq overnight.

Even now, both sides retain many channels of communication.

Mubarak's private plane flew by unaffected along the way.

When in Saudi Arabia, two J-11 fighters and two J-10 fighters escorted Mubarak's plane. After arriving in Iraq, four Iraqi fighters took over the escort mission.

The fighter jets on both sides also greeted each other.

The atmosphere is very harmonious.

Afterwards, two J-10 fighter jets and two J-11 fighter jets returned, while four Iraqi fighter jets escorted Mubarak's special plane, protecting it as it landed in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq.

This is done purely to prevent the Americans from causing trouble.

After all, the Americans have motives to stir up trouble secretly.

Mubarak's special plane landed in Baghdad. When Mubarak was about to get off the plane, a red carpet was rolled out, and there was a three-service guard of honor to welcome him. Even Saddam went to the airport in person to greet Mubarak.

This shows the friendly relationship between Mubarak and Saddam.

The two met cordially, then left the airport and arrived at the palace.

"Sadam, my good brother! The U.S. military headquarters is formulating an operational plan to strike your military force. If you are unwilling to withdraw from Kuwait, the coalition's attack is inevitable." After dinner, Mubarak took the initiative to ask Saddam to withdraw his troops. "If you continue to do this, it will definitely not be a good thing for Iraq!" Saddam was dissatisfied and said, "Mubarak, my good brother! I welcome your visit to Iraq, and Iraq will always welcome you. If you are here to persuade me to withdraw my troops, then I have to tell you that this is impossible. No matter how powerful the Americans are, they have come from afar. We have absolute confidence in defeating the Americans."

"The Chinese can do it, the Vietnamese can do it, why can't we Arabs do it!?" Saddam said: "It's all because of that old bastard Fahd, who let the wolf in the house"

Saddam did not hide his dissatisfaction at all, and roared angrily as he spoke.

He felt that if there was no Arab coalition, Iraq could drive them into the sea with just a few hundred thousand American troops.

Mubarak said: "Saddam, the Americans are surrounding you from the west, south and north. To your east is the Persian Gulf and the Persians, who have more than one million troops, are more powerful than you, and their military equipment is more advanced than yours."

Mubarak persuaded earnestly.

He really couldn't see the possibility that Iraq could defeat the coalition forces.

Unfortunately, at this time Saddam would no longer listen to anyone's persuasion.

He would not be content without fighting a battle and being badly beaten.

The two had a huge disagreement, and as they talked, they both became angry, had a quarrel, and parted on bad terms!

Kuwait City is the core of the Iraqi army in Kuwait.

The general headquarters was busy and the staff were formulating countermeasures.

Rashid's face was gloomy. As more intelligence from the coalition forces came in, the pressure on him continued to increase.

He personally volunteered to come to Kuwait and serve as the commander-in-chief of the Iraqi army in Kuwait. His request was appreciated and favored by Saddam, who appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the Iraqi army in Kuwait.

Saddam's appointment was naturally based on the hope that Rashid would be able to give the Americans and the coalition forces a good beating, demonstrate Iraq's power, and thus force the Americans to give up the use of force to resolve the issue.

Rashid is the god of war who rose during the Iran-Iraq War and made great military achievements. He is currently the most outstanding soldier in the Iraqi army.

Rashid personally served as the commander-in-chief of the Iraqi army in Kuwait, and Saddam also continued to dispatch troops into Kuwait.

By now, the total strength of the Iraqi army in Kuwait has reached 54.

Rashid's 200,000 elite troops were transferred to Kuwait.

"Damn Americans!" Rashid now knew the details of the coalition forces and the 'Desert Storm' combat plan.

He couldn't help but feel a huge pressure.

The total strength of the entire coalition force is as high as 147.6 million, which has exceeded the total strength of Iraq.

In addition to the coalition forces' advantage in weapons and equipment, and the fact that Kuwait had no strategic locations to defend but was only a desert plain, Rashid actually saw no hope of winning the battle.

"There are 50,000 American troops in the north and Turkey. I had previously guessed that they were used to tie down our troops, and it turned out to be just as I expected!" Rashid said secretly.

But no matter what, the coalition forces he has to face are still as high as 142.6 million. Even if not all of the coalition forces attack Kuwait, most of the forces are heading towards Kuwait.

During this period, based on the advice of friends, they have deployed a large number of air defense weapons and anti-ship missiles on the coast, and also deployed a large number of air defense weapons in other directions. All air defense weapons are camouflaged, while also ensuring that the soldiers under them will not be bribed by the Americans and expose their targets.

Now he is waiting, waiting for his friends to give him some useful advice!
