"As Secretary of Defense, this is your responsibility!" Finally, when Bush saw that he said everything, Cheney still refused to agree, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Cheney was unwilling to do it, but at this position, what can he do?

Now he cannot advance or retreat. If he agrees, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame for war criminals. If he does not agree, he will be discussed as the most cowardly secretary of defense of the US military.

"Okay, I'll go! But I hope to explain to my family before going..." Cheney said gritting his teeth.

I kept weighing the pros and cons in my heart that I would rather be named a war criminal than become a coward. The honor of a soldier is not allowed to do this. Anyway, they are all like this now.

"Don't worry, you make sure that we will strongly support you." Seeing Cheney agreeing, the president and others were relieved.

Now, this matter must not be known to more people.

Baghdad was bombed, and people would only see the strong strength of the US military and collude with other countries to prevent them from reporting on the tragic situation in Baghdad, or try to eliminate the negative impact. How many people would care about Baghdad's life and death? This has nothing to do with their lives.

Moreover, Cheney will definitely keep the bombing range within an acceptable range for himself and for his family. This is the main reason why Bush hopes Cheney will be responsible for this matter.

"Give me six hours, I will handle everything." Cheney nodded powerlessly. Since he entered politics, he had never felt so powerless now.

Powerlessness in the situation, powerlessness in the future, and even family.

After Cheney came out, he did not go to the Ministry of Defense, but had issued an order to mobilize personnel who were about to follow him to the Middle East to stand by, and asked his subordinates to improve the entire plan to bomb Baghdad as soon as possible.

Then I went home directly.

"There is a war now. Isn't your Ministry of Defense the busiest?" Cheney's wife Lynn was very heartbroken at Cheney, who looked tired.

"Dear, pack up your things and take the kids to Switzerland!" Cheney hugged his wife and kissed her forehead.

"What's wrong?" Lynn was shocked.

"I will be ready to set out to Saudi Arabia in six hours to command the Gulf War! And will issue an order to attack Baghdad..." Although this is absolutely confidential, Cheney will not leave with his children if he does not explain.

"Isn't this normal? No, isn't Powell and Norman commanding the war there? Did something unexpected happen to the war?" As the wife of the Secretary of Defense, she is naturally concerned about these situations.

"Our 24th Mass Infantry Division was annihilated, and other ground forces were attacked by Iraqis missiles, with casualties of at least more than 5,000... Not long ago, our Midway aircraft carrier was blown up and sunk by Iraqis, and the USS USS. aircraft carrier was seriously injured, and all the fighter planes on it were damaged..."

Cheney told her wife very clearly that the real situation of the war was far more serious than what the outside world learned.

When Lynn heard the news, she couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"So, now we must retaliate against the Iraqis. For the future of the country and for the interests of some people, we will carry out large-scale long-range strategic missile strikes and bombings on Baghdad... This matter will be my responsibility! So, I hope that when the war breaks out, you and the children go to Switzerland, and in exchange, the President will arrange everything for you..."

"No, it's not that there is Powell, and Norman! They are the commanders of the war!" Lynn cried and hugged his husband.

"Norman is in the hospital, and the war will not end, he will not come out...Powell..." When talking about Powell, Cheney became even more sad, paused, and then said, "After learning that the aircraft carrier was bombed, he ended his life with bullets. Only in this way can he have the courage to bear the responsibility for such a huge loss. You know, he is a black man, his identity..."

Although Powell has a very high reputation among the American people, black people are not very likely to be valued for the class that truly controls the United States.

The reason why he was asked to come to power was to prove to the world that the United States is a country without racial discrimination.

Powell naturally knew, so, in the end, he ended his life.

"No, you can't do this..." Lynn snarled, "You can quit!"

"If I escape, our entire country will face a serious crisis. The Soviet Union now hopes that our country will have problems..." Cheney shook his head and said firmly, "I did think so before."

"For the future of our country, for you and your children to live peacefully, I must stand up..." Cheney stayed at home for a long time just to convince his wife to take her children away from the United States and go to Switzerland to hide her identity. No one will know their relationship with him.

Finally, Lynn cried and agreed.

Not for herself, but for her children and for her family.

There is not much time left for her, and the war will start again in less than forty hours, and then, at that time, the United States will make the whole world tremble.

More than forty long-range strategic missiles flew across the Atlantic Ocean and attacked Baghdad.

More than 1,000 fighter jets collectively attacked Baghdad...

Hundreds of missiles were also launched from all over the place to Baghdad.

In such a situation, Baghdad will no longer have any possibility except becoming a ruin.

After arranging the home, under the tears of his wife, Cheney got into the Ministry of Defense to pick up his car, and he needed to go to the Ministry of Defense to make work arrangements.

The Ministry of Defense is very depressed, and even in such a repression, everyone is still completing their work quickly.

Cheney summoned senior officials from the Ministry of Defense to start work arrangements.

"Is the attack time confirmed? Is the attack plan more perfect? ​​After a long-range attack, are there any considerations for how to deal with the aftermath?" Cheney asked with a serious face.

At this time, he no longer had the lost look he had before.

"A more complete combat plan is being formulated. We hope that the intelligence department can verify the current intelligence and avoid mistakes like previous ones." The planners are not aware that Baghdad will disappear under such a blow.

The plans they made were aimed at each other's military facilities.

"Information must be accurate. I will communicate with the CIA as soon as possible and arrange for our intelligence personnel to confirm this." Cheney said, "In this attack, we need not only to hit their strategic goals, but also to hit their production capacity, so that the Iraqi people can stand up and overthrow the Saddam regime!"

"For example, their government offices, police stations, etc...."

In the end, Cheney still did not say in the request that even the entire civilian area be considered in the attack plan.

In fact, the final plan must be formulated by him. The main facts are to rely on the air force and missile forces of the US military and the coalition forces.

Time is very tight.

"In addition, our satellite network system must be thoroughly inspected. I hope to avoid the occurrence of the occurrence of our satellite communication system being invaded and paralyzed again!" The current war has exposed too many problems.

In terms of information-based military construction, the United States is the first country to make such an attempt, and there is no experience to follow.

"Minister, please rest assured, our technicians are doing their best to check..." The official in charge of the technical aspects was sweating heavily on his forehead.

If it weren't for the critical period of war now, I would definitely be held accountable.

Even so, they will be held accountable later.

If the satellite system was not controlled, their aircraft carrier would definitely not have been sunk.

"Our long-range missiles mainly attack their command systems, radar stations, long-range air defense missile positions, etc., and the other targets will be formulated by the front-line command..." After Cheney finished his order, he boarded the E-4B air command plane heading to Saudi Arabia.

This is quite different from the US Air Force One, but it is completely enough for the Secretary of Defense.

The E-4B air command aircraft is modified from the Boeing 747-200B aircraft, equipped with four engines, adopts swept wings, which can fly long-range and high altitudes, and can refuel in the air.

It was originally designed to act as a modern, highly survivable command, control and communication center when the local area is subjected to nuclear/conventional air strikes, when a country encounters an emergency or a ground command and control squadron is destroyed, it serves as a modern and highly survivable command, control and communication center, commands US forces, executes emergency war orders, and coordinates local government actions.

Under the current circumstances, the Secretary of Defense needs to contact all the US troops on the plane and formulate combat plans, so take such a plane to the front line command in Saudi Arabia.

On the plane, Cheney kept mobilizing all the frontline troops.

Not only the US military, but also the coalition forces were all assigned combat missions.

"Notify all troops to stand by!" Cheney did not issue detailed tasks because he was unclear whether the other party could still master their intelligence network and invade the communication system.

Everything will not be released until he arrives in Saudi Arabia.

On the plane, detailed combat missions will be formulated based on the current situation.

After Cheney's E-4B air command plane took off, Baghdad was already quiet.

The president's order made it impossible for pedestrians to be seen on the street.

The fires caused by the US bombing have been put out, and the injured have been rescued.

Besides some occasional smoke-free ruins, everything is fine in Baghdad.

Saddam is now full of wandering people. As a previous leader in China said, all imperialism is a paper tiger.
