The president looked at his generals and said, "The rise in international oil prices has seriously affected our interests. Since we are ready, we are ready to kill the Iraqis, help the Kuwaits restore their country, and maintain peace and stability in the Middle East..."

The president has made up his mind to deal with Iraqis as soon as possible.

If you don't do it quickly, Congress will cut their funds.

"Please rest assured that as long as Congress authorizes us, we will immediately attack the Iraqi army and maintain peace in the Middle East..."

The generals excitedly assured the president.

The military has long been impatient.

The United Nations has given a deadline. If I had known it, I would not have given it so long.

With the president's statement, the Ministry of Defense issued an order and Saudi Arabia's US military began its final preparations before the attack.

Although it is certain to attack Iraq, all kinds of face skills still have to be done.

Therefore, the US Secretary of State and Iraq's Foreign Minister are still negotiating.

Even if you know there will be no results.

"Aziz, please tell your president that you must withdraw troops from Kuwait immediately and unconditionally. The US government will not agree to some of the solutions you proposed, whether it is to ced the oil fields in Kuwait to you, or to ced the sea outlets such as Bubiyan Island belonging to Kuwait..."

The US Secretary of State told Iraqi Foreign Minister Aziz seriously.

How is it possible for Iraqi people to still insist on ceding Kuwait's territory to Iraq?

If the US government agrees, isn’t this encouraging aggression?

"Mr. Baker, too, please tell your government that if our conditions are not met, we will not withdraw our troops! If you want to fight, Iraq will accompany you to the end! Kuwait is our territory, and advocates the interests of the Rumaira oil field, and it is also the Kuwaits who keep stealing the oil resources belonging to Iraq in this oil field..."

Aziz's attitude is also very tough.

These are the president's request, and as the foreign minister, he does not have much autonomy.

Iraq is ready for war. Once the United States leads the coalition forces to attack Iraq, the powerful Iraqi army will teach the United States and the coalition forces how to behave.

All Iraqi missiles have targeted US military bases in Israel and Saudi Arabia, and even US military bases in Bahrain, which are within the range of the Hussein missile strike in Iraq...

"It seems that we can't resolve this matter peacefully through negotiations..." Baker looked at Aziz helplessly.

"Unless you make concessions and agree to our conditions. Peace lies in the attitude of the US government! War lies in the attitude of the US government!" Aziz said calmly.

War is unavoidable.

Neither the Iraqi government nor the US government will make concessions on its own claims.

Both sides believe that there is no room for compromise.

Therefore, the US Secretary of State and Iraqi Foreign Minister met for the last time before the war began and parted in disagreement.

"Order all troops to be prepared for war!"

After receiving Aziz's report, Sha Damu issued an order directly.

The Iraqi army has long been ready for war.

At least, that's what Sha Damu thought.

Similarly, the US military and the coalition were also ready for war.

Even on January 1, the US President had signed a national security directive document to Schwartzkopf, commander of the US Central Headquarters in Riyadh, ordering that once the Iraqi army refuses to evacuate at the last time, the US military will start war on Iraq...

On January 9, 1991, both the US Secretary of State and Iraqi Foreign Minister Aziz believed that there was no room for compromise and issued an ultimatum to each other.

On January 12, 1991, the US Congress authorized the US military to demand that the US military expel Iraqi troops from Kuwait, help Kuwait restore national sovereignty and maintain peace in the Middle East.

Before January 14, 1991, all other coalition countries authorized the army...

"Your Majesty, all the coalition countries have authorized their troops..."

The new Minister of Defense Amad was frowning.

This is not easy to be the Minister of Defense.

Just as he took office, he would declare war on dozens of countries led by the United States.

"Are our troops ready?" Sha Damu didn't care.

Things to do sooner or later.

"Everything is ready and the deployment is completed..." Amad answered immediately.

Sha Damu said, "Since that's the case, what else can I worry about? Order all units to prepare for air defense, and all air defense forces will enter a state of combat readiness! If they want to start a war, let them taste the damage caused by the war..."

"Your Majesty, the Air Force..."

Amad asked the president.

Before, the president actually began to order the Air Force to hide some of its main fighter jets to avoid losses from the coalition forces bombing their airports in a sudden air raid.

Amad thought this was a wrong move.

The Iraqi army's combat effectiveness is weaker than the coalition forces, but the president is not ready to let the air force participate before the war begins.

Without air supremacy, what should their ground troops do?

"The Air Force is on standby, and the Americans will not engage in large-scale air combat with us. Our fighter jets are not as good as theirs..."

The president naturally knew that the fighter jets in his hands could not compare combat performance with the United States and the coalition forces.

At that time, the Persians had dozens of F-14s, even though the Iraqi Air Force was stronger than the Persians, they did not gain much advantage.

Therefore, Sha Damu believed that the Air Force must be hidden and preserved.

The president is like this, what else can Amad, the Minister of Defense?

Saudi Arabia, Dhahran Air Force Base.

This is the largest military airport of the US Air Force in Saudi Arabia.

The entire air force base is now almost filled with various types of fighter jets.

Various functional fighter jets in service in the US military, such as f-111, a-6, a-10, av-8b, f-15e, f-16, etc., can be seen everywhere.

These fighter planes were parked densely on the ground outside the airport runway.

Around the airport, Patriot-2 air defense missile systems are arranged everywhere, as well as some other missile systems.

The air defense radar of the radar station has always been turned on at full power.

This is the main base of the US Air Force.

There are also more fighter jets parked at the naval base in Jubaile.

All fighter jets have been deployed and can be dispatched at any time.

However, in the US military's combat plan, these fighter jets are not the first echelons of attack on Iraq.

At an air force base in southern Saudi Arabia, all Saudi fighter jets have been transferred.

In the hangar of the base, dozens of black painted fighter jets with triangular shapes were parked, and the entire fuselage was almost entirely composed of straight lines.

Even the Saudi personnel inside the air force base were not allowed to approach these fighter jets that had been transferred from the United States for a long time and would hardly be dispatched during the day.

All ground service maintenance, etc. are all responsible by the US military.

The only stealth attack wing in the United States, which has been renamed the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing!

The most advanced stealth attack aircraft currently equipped by the US military.

This will be the main force in carrying out strikes on important Iraqi military goals.

"Soldiers, are you ready?" Swatskopf, commander of the US Central Army Headquarters, looked at the most elite top pilots of the US Air Force in front of him and asked them.

"It's ready!"

"I hope everyone remembers their goals. They must be wiped out the Iraqi long-range early warning radar station at the beginning to create favorable conditions for subsequent air strikes of the troops... Although this mission is very dangerous, I believe you and I believe that the advanced fighter developed by our domestic military-industrial units... is as easy as we solved Panama the year before..."

Swatzkopf trusted his 37th Flying Wing very much.

This is the only stealth attack aircraft team in service in the world.

It was effectively tested in the Panama War.

However, Baghdad's air defense system is much stronger than a small country like Panama, and its armed forces are also stronger.

The Joint Command of the War Zone could not guarantee whether the Nighthawks could break through the Soviet Union and France's air defense systems.

"General, please rest assured that after the Nighthawks blew up Baghdad, Sha Damu would not know where the attack came from..."

The words of Colonel Studle, the wing commander, made all the pilots burst into laughter.

These pilots are the best pilots selected from the entire US Air Force.

Before entering this team, everyone's minimum flight hours were 1,000 hours...

"I am very confident in you! But we cannot be careless. Baghdad's air defense system is almost the most stringent in the world. There are air defense systems built by the Soviets and the air defense network built by the French..." Chief of Staff McDill reminded the pilots not to be careless.

The entire Baghdad is the city with the most stringent air defense system in the world.

None of them.
