Chapter 180: The Libyan Garrison
Gaddafi was shocked and hid in another hidden place until more than ten days later, he recovered.
Iraqi side received Gaddafi's secret messenger.
After this, Libya finally found that it could not confront the United States at all. This US air strike has basically defeated Libya's air force and air defense forces. Is the Americans an end or the beginning of the next time?
Libya no longer has the ability to fight against the next air strike by the United States. In the face of absolute advantage, Gaddafi finally realized that he could not do anything after leaving Kusai Abdullah.
The last victory was achieved completely with the help of Iraq. At this time, all he could rely on was the power of Iraq!
The last time he politely rejected Kusai's proposal, it was the boss plot in Gaddafi's mind that was causing trouble. In Gaddafi's outlook on life, unifying the entire Arab world was actually a dream. Later, with Kusai's rise, this idea was unrealistic. However, Libya is still an influential power in Africa. He tried to use a complete victory over the United States to prove that Libya is fully capable of being the big brother of Africa, but now, this idea has been ruthlessly shattered.
However, facing the American offensive, his fighter jets did not play any role at all.
Now, Iraq is the only one who can help Libya!
After receiving Gaddafi's request for help, Kusai knew that at this time, he had to make some statement. Now, it's finally Iraq's turn to play!
At this time, in the world's public opinion, they have begun to be very dissatisfied with the behavior of the United States. Although the United States took advantage of the Lockeby air crash, and at the beginning, people were still relatively hostile to Libya. No matter who did such a thing, they would be punished by God.
But then, the development of things exceeded their imagination. Libya agreed to hand over the suspect to other countries, and the United States insisted that it must be handed over to them. Libya refused, so the United States began to launch an air strike.
Under Iraq's deliberate propaganda, the Americans bombing of civilians led to the scene of many Libyan civilians being injured and was promoted around the world. Despite this, the Americans were still complacent because the operation was basically successful.
The United States has been successful in military affairs. Although it did not completely destroy Libya, Gaddafi has a correct understanding of the United States' military strength from then on, and they cannot confront the United States!
Faced with the bullying of the United States, the Arab world united again.
Iraq announced that it would urgently provide Libya with a new batch of twenty Super Seven fighters, as well as ten Phantom 4,000 fighters and ten Flying Leopard fighter bombers, all stationed at the bombed Benghazi base.
The arrival of these fighter jets greatly enriched the strength of the Libyan Air Force. Moreover, Iraq has built a long-range early warning radar in the easternmost area of Libya adjacent to Egypt.
At the most critical moment, Iraq pulled Libya and helped Gaddafi support the sky above his head.
Of course, the facts are far from being as simple as publicity. Iraq supports Libya's advanced fighter jets, but another additional condition is that even people were rented together.
So what if you give Libya advanced fighter jets? The Libyan air force is not training enough, and they cannot fight against US air strikes.
So, in this case, after Gaddafi's invitation, the Iraqi Air Force entered the air base in Libya.
Those Super Seven fighter jets were handed over to Libyan pilots and trained by Iraqi instructors. The Phantom 4000 fighter jets were actually fighters from the Iraqi Air Force, and the ground crew and other personnel were all from Iraq. To put it simply, in Benghazi, it is already an Iraqi garrison base.
Because of the limited number, Iraq only passed by 4,000 Phantoms, and will gradually expand its scale in the future. Another type of Flying Leopard fighter has only one purpose: to block the Eastern Mediterranean when necessary!
Relying on the Phantom 4000, we cover the Flying Leopard fighter and use anti-ship missiles to attack the US aircraft carrier formation at sea!
For the current Flying Leopard fighter, Iraq can not only use its own anti-ship missiles and cruise missiles based on the C801 series, but also secretly introduced a new weapon: KH-41 anti-ship missile!
This kind of missile is similar to the Sunburst Anti-ship missiles equipped on the Modern Class Destroyer imported from Iraq. The structure and appearance are very similar. In fact, it was developed from Sunburst Anti-ship missiles. This supersonic anti-ship missile is the most powerful weapon of the Modern Class. The air-launched type has altitude and speed. Therefore, the range of this missile will be greatly extended. When flying at low altitude, the range reaches 150 kilometers. If it is flying at high altitude and flying at the end, the range reaches 250 kilometers.
However, this large missile with a total length of nearly ten meters and weighing 4.5 tons is not something that ordinary aircraft can carry. The Su-27K can only be mounted in the middle of the belly. The Iraqi Flying Leopard fighter has been matched and is also mounted in the belly.
Although it only carries one, its power has increased greatly. What Kusaki wants to have the most is the weapon that can deter the US aircraft carrier formation in the Mediterranean. Now, in the process of helping Libya deal with the United States, the Iraqi Air Force has entered the Libyan air base, which has finally made Kusaki an ideal base.
Moreover, the two sides' subsequent plans to lease Libyan Naval Marine Port by Iraq are also in progress.
This kind of missile was only lifted out of mystery in later generations, in 1992. In fact, it was equipped with troops in 1988. Since the modern-class has been imported to Iraq and the Rizhi missile is also equipped with Iraq, it will no longer be difficult to introduce such similar missiles.
In addition to the base in Libya, Iraq has also deployed a Flying Leopard Team carrying this missile in Syria. In this way, they will have a killer weapon to deal with the US ships in the Mediterranean!
To deal with ordinary warships, use C801 series missiles and aircraft carrier formations, use appropriate tactics to use this supersonic anti-ship missile!
Libya's Gaddafi finally bowed his head and sought absolute protection from Iraq in the face of the powerful bombing capabilities of the Americans. So Kusai sent his own air force to help them resist the American bombing in the name of the volunteers.
However, since the Iraqi Air Force entered Libya, the American bombing has been reduced, and they have also narrowed their scope of action, and the United States is too close to the Libyan border.
Of course, all this is definitely not the role of Kusai's great glorious image, but because Bush is now facing a serious domestic situation.
There are very high calls for opposition to Bush in China. As domestic economic problems continue to arise, Bush is indifferent. Instead, he always thinks about how to use powerful American forces.
Can their powerful force solve domestic economic problems?
In the midterm elections of the Congressional Republicans lost many seats in the Senate, which is a bad signal because, next year, a new presidential election will be coming!
At this time, the domestic deficit in the United States was as high as 250 billion US dollars. Originally, Bush wanted to solve the problem by issuing treasury bonds, but in the face of the wave of US Treasury bonds in the Middle East and increasing European Treasury bonds, if the United States issues treasury bonds again, there will be no enough market to digest them.
Reducing military spending? This is what Bush is most reluctant to do, because the security of the United States requires strong force to maintain it! Bush, who was originally from the US Navy Air Force, once flew into a battle against Japan. He would never commit suicide in the United States.
So, facing this situation, Bush can only have one simple way: increase taxes!
Although this method is simple and has obvious effects, it is definitely not a good thing, because when he was running for the election, he promised that there would be no tax increase.
Now, the domestic unemployment rate has reached 6%, and these unemployed people have greatly increased the welfare expenditure in the United States. You should know that the United States is a country with very complete welfare. Even if it is unemployed, they can receive enough funds for living. Therefore, in the United States, there is a special category, which is homeless people. They never look for jobs and go to the government to receive relief funds every month.
The United States began to force Libya to hand over his subordinates from a just standpoint. In the hearts of the American people, Bush's approval rating was still very high. However, the United States later stationed troops in Israel and bombed Libya. These actions made the United States famous, and even the country was full of opposition waves.
Bush won military victory, but was at a loss in politics and economic terms.
At this time, Bill Clinton of the Democratic Party was full of confidence. Since Carter stepped down, the White House has been occupied by the Republican Party for more than ten years. Now, it is time to retake the White House!
Stupid, the problem is the economy! This is a sentence Clinton had prepared long ago. In such a depressed economy in the United States, the focus of the United States is not on external expansion, but on first dealing with domestic economic issues and letting the people in the country go hungry to fight. What choices do such a president have besides stepping down?
