Chapter 581： use nuclear weapons

The loss of the United States is huge, so big that the United States cannot bear it at all!

Prince Sultan Air Force Base is home to nearly 100 American fighter jets, including E-3 early warning aircraft costing hundreds of millions of dollars per aircraft, F-15 fighter jets for main air combat and F-16 fighter jets for ground attack, including EF-111 electronic fighter jets, etc. Wait, these planes, with the Iraqi ballistic missile attack, are almost all scrapped! Coupled with the pensions needed by the deceased personnel, etc., the loss of the United States from this air strike is as high as tens of billions of dollars! You know, the last large-scale Vietnam War cost the United States just over $700 billion.

The U.S. was exhausted and asked Saudi Arabia for military spending. It thought there would be no suspense in this battle, but now, the U.S. has ushered in its biggest defeat! Even in the Vietnam War, there have never been so many losses in a single battle. This is simply astronomical! Moreover, all of a sudden, the American air force in Saudi Arabia was crippled! And the Saudi Air Force is so unbeatable! Now, air supremacy over Saudi Arabia has changed hands, and the entire front is in jeopardy.

Although the Navy's aircraft carrier is about to go to the battlefield, a large number of carrier-based aircraft can take off, but the Iraqi army is about to rush into Riyadh! If they control Riyadh, they control Saudi Arabia! If the Saudi royal family loses control of Saudi Arabia, the funds promised to the United States will be in vain. At most, the United States will freeze all Saudi funds in the United States.

The most terrifying thing is that after Iraq controls Saudi Arabia, Iraq will control nearly 50% of the world's oil production! This is absolutely unwilling to see the United States!

So, no matter what the price is, this war must go on!

But, how to beat it? Since the Vietnam War, the self-confidence of the US military has lost its dignity as an army. They need a new war to verify their strength. Unfortunately, the battle is now like this!

America cannot fail! And the United States wants to turn the tide of the war as soon as possible, there is only one means: nuclear weapons!

The speaker was the Vice President, George Bush, a veteran of World War II, frowning at this time. The current situation is about to deteriorate to the point where even the United States cannot control it! Therefore, the United States has no choice but to use nuclear weapons to make the Iraqi army retreat!

"I agree with President Bush," Defense Secretary Weinberg said. "It will take time for us to mobilize the new European forces. It will take time to regroup and mobilize our air force, and the Iraqis will not give us that. time, so we must use nuclear weapons to save the current defeat."

Not nuclear deterrence, but the real intention to use nuclear weapons!

President Reagan also frowned, nuclear weapons! If this Pandora's box is released again, it will shock the world!

After all, apart from the two atomic bombs dropped on the island country at the end of World War II, although the number of nuclear weapons in the world is increasing, the nuclear war has not started. This thing, after all, is only used for deterrence. If it is really used, the decision-maker will be condemned by a strong inner heart, and there will be no comfortable time in the second half of his life.

Once it goes on, tens of thousands of people will be gone!

"I'm also in favor of the use of nuclear weapons," said Secretary of State George. At a time like this, what about international morality, let’s deal with the current situation first! The use of nuclear weapons can solve the current dilemma at the least cost.

The U.S. economy has long been in trouble. After Reagan took office, he promised to focus on the economy. However, the Star Wars plan first diverted some of the funds to improve the economy. Now, it is The war in the Middle East will make the US military spending astronomical! The U.S. economy will also get worse because of this! If there is a straightforward solution to the problem, why not?

Also, unlike the Vietnam War. During the Vietnam War, the United States played the role of a disgraceful aggressor, and Vietnam had the Soviet Union and China behind it. In this case, the United States could not use nuclear weapons against Vietnam at all, and could only fight conventional wars. But in the current situation in the Middle East, Iraq is an out-and-out aggressor, first invading Kuwait and then Saudi Arabia! The U.S. military entered after accepting the invitation of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and the U.S. went to maintain the local peace! The reasons for America's war are plentiful!

Therefore, in this case, even if the United States uses nuclear weapons, it will be justified!

"Then there's nothing we can do except use nuclear weapons?" Reagan asked. As an actor, Reagan didn't understand the military. He needed to consult these people.

"Of course, we also have other solutions," said the national security adviser. "There are conventional solutions, but at a higher cost. We can take advantage of Baghdad's emptiness and open up another front to completely solve the problem in Baghdad. ."

"Okay, then we will use both options at the same time." Reagan finally made up his mind: "Baker, you go to a press conference, if Iraq does not immediately stop their military operations, we will use nuclear weapons to solve this problem. ."

"Yes Baker understood what Reagan meant.

Outside the White House, the reporters had long been clamoring and clamoring for a long time. The report sent back from the distant Middle East touched the hearts of the Americans. Their air force base was actually hit by the Iraqis and was almost plowed. Heavy casualties, what should we do next?

Some Americans believe that they need to launch a bigger blow to protect Saudi allies, after all, it is related to the US oil supply. However, more Americans are worried that the government's investment in the military will make the country's economy worse. After all, during the war, in addition to the arms dealers producing at full capacity and making continuous profits, other industries will be greatly affected.

When the White House Chief of Staff James Baker came out, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. Baker stepped onto the podium under everyone's attention. Facing the microphone, Baker tried to keep his tone calm: "Now, the Middle East In the midst of a catastrophe, the army of Iraq, the evil government of the Middle East, is advancing towards Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, and former friends are now becoming mortal enemies. In order to help our allies and restore peace to the Middle East, we have decided to launch a nuclear strike to make Iraq will stop their evil hands until Iraq withdraws from the territories of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, and until the Middle East regains its original pattern."
