After 24:00 on January 15, the Iraqi government still did not move.

The Iraqi government did not announce that it would accept UN resolution 660.

After receiving the news, the US president excitedly issued an order to the Secretary of Defense: "Order the front-line troops to launch an attack on Iraq immediately, drive the Iraqi army out of Kuwait, and destroy Iraq's war potential."

It's been too long since he's waiting for this opportunity.

For a long time, the president has been worried that the Iraqi government would not be able to withstand the pressure at the last moment, accept the UN resolution and announce the withdrawal of troops.

If that's the case, Bush really doesn't know what to do.

If you miss this opportunity and want to find an opportunity to attack Iraq, you don’t know when it will be.

Only by destroying the Iraqi army can the US military stay in the Middle East and complete the layout of the Gulf region.

Let global oil be completely linked to the US dollar, complete the petrodollar plan, and use oil to control the global economy.

Now, it’s finally time!

"President, the army has been ready for attacks, and all troops can launch fierce attacks on the Iraqi army at any time. However, according to the combat plan, it is too late to launch a war against Iraq immediately..."

The president was stunned.

"Why can't you get ready? We've been waiting for this moment too long!"

The president looked at Defense Secretary Felcon with dissatisfaction.

Doesn't Felcon know what he is thinking?

Not to mention whether the president is waiting in a hurry, is the Ministry of National Defense anxious?

What is even more in a hurry is the military-industrial complex that stands behind the president and pushes the president to the throne.

If you don’t fight, you will have problems if you are re-elected.

Felcon looked at the president and understood the president's thoughts very well.

"His Excellency the President, according to the combat plan, the first wave of attacks will be blasted by the F-117 stealth fighter jets in Iraq to paralyze important combat areas such as the radar station, command center, etc., paralyzing the Iraqi army command system... The original combat plan reported to you..."

Bush looked at Felcon and nodded to show that he knew the combat plan.

"This, I know, the plan is very good. Let the F-117 launch a sudden attack and paralyze the Iraqi command system, which can effectively reduce the casualties of our army. In the Middle East, it shouldn't be the night now..."

The president clearly knows and remembers the combat plan, what does it have to do with not launching an attack immediately?

The f-117 is the top fighter.

"F-117 must be dispatched from the hangar within half an hour of darkness, and the stealth combat performance should be maintained as much as possible..."

After Felcon explained the reason, the president realized that it was indeed too late.

I can only wait until tomorrow night before launching an attack.

From the base stationed by Saudi Arabia to the Iraqi capital Baghdad, the long range is needed to break through many radar stations and dense air defense firepower. It is already early in the Middle East and dawn in just a few hours.

Felcon's meaning is very clear. The F-117 is now performing combat missions and cannot be completed before dawn. Otherwise, the Iraqi air defense missile forces may be shot down on the way back.

Once dawn, the stealth performance of the f-117 will be greatly reduced.

Fighters flying in the air can be seen from the ground.

"Does we have to wait until tomorrow? I don't want to wait one more day... The sooner we teach Sha Damu, the sooner we get our interests..."

The president was a little unwilling to accept it.

Waited for so long.

Deputy Defense Minister Ansnio comforted the president, "President, it doesn't take long for a day. It's not that he didn't worry about it before. Before the deadline set by the United Nations, the Iraqi government did not finally refuse to launch an attack before UN resolution 660. Once the fighter jet is discovered, it will eventually become a deliberate attack, which will bring great embarrassment to our country's diplomacy..."

Even if the president is unwilling to give up, he can only agree.

Seeing that the president stopped urging the attack, the big men of the Ministry of National Defense breathed a sigh of relief.

"His Excellency the President, now signing the combat order against Iraq immediately shows that we are too anxious and can wait until tomorrow morning."

Ansgno continued to comfort the president.

New York and Baghdad are 7 hours apart.

Although Iraq has entered January 16, the United States is still celebrating January 15.

It will be just around 5 pm.

So, it is not a problem to wait until tomorrow morning to sign the combat order.

"Ansnho is right. We have not entered the 16th yet. We can sign a combat order against Iraq tomorrow morning, and it will not affect our operations tomorrow night."

This is how everyone else comforts the president.

Even if the Iraqi government announces withdrawal of troops again, it is legal for the United States to launch a war.

Under such circumstances, the president naturally did not worry.

Finally, I can sleep peacefully.

In the early morning of January 16th.

Baghdad, the capital of Iraq.

The president did not announce an order to withdraw troops.

All the soldiers on the front line dared not close their eyes and stared at the direction of defense, for fear of the sudden attack of the US military.

All air defense radars are turned on and are ready to be solemnly.

The bullets were loaded, and even the cannon shells were loaded.

The missile launcher has even reached the point where the missile can be launched as long as the launch button is pressed.

Tanks and other heavy equipment, armored soldiers were always inside, and the engine fire was also ignited, maintaining the minimum consumption and operating...

Under such circumstances, all the troops on the front line dared not rest, and they were so nervous that they were always ready to counterattack the US attack.

After waiting for almost two hours, no intention of attacking the US and coalition forces was found. The news that everyone was looking forward to the president's withdrawal to the world did not reach the front line.

"Achiz, what's the news about the U.S. government now?"

At this moment, Sha Damu's eyes were covered with bloodshot.

He also suffered severe torture throughout the process.

He is betting whether the US military will launch an attack as soon as possible.

As long as the US military does not launch a sudden attack after the early morning, the chance of attacking behind will be smaller.

Achiz, who was also tired, shook his head and told the president: "Your Majesty, there is no news at the moment. Our people have been paying attention to the U.S. government's dynamics. The U.S. President has not signed a combat order against our army yet..."

Sha Damu immediately became happy and said excitedly: "We are betting right! The Americans just to scare us and do not dare to start a war. Although their weapons and equipment are advanced, their logistics supply lines are too long, and they are outsiders..."

Sha Damu breathed a sigh of relief.

Amad was slapping silly Damu's flattery, "Your Majesty is wise."

He used to call the President, not His Majesty.

The only one who calls the President His Majesty is the President's confidant.

Many of his confidants hoped that the president would become the king of Iraq, but Sha Damu rejected his subordinates' proposal and he was unwilling to turn the republic into a kingdom.

As long as you have mastered all rights in the entire country, there is no difference between calling the president or the king from the outside.

Sha Damu has always firmly grasped all the rights of Iraq and did not care whether he was called the king.

He did not object to the fact that his confidants called His Majesty.

Amad called Sha Damu His Majesty the first time, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the president did not react much.

He was also considered the president's confidant.

"We cannot be careless now. Hundreds of thousands of foreign troops are still in Arab territory. We must persist until they withdraw our troops before we can win..."

Amad immediately said: "Please rest assured that the Ministry of National Defense has ordered that all front-line troops and domestic troops be prepared to block the attack of the coalition forces led by the US military at any time! When they come, our powerful army will teach them how to be a human being..."

The Minister of Defense did not know that because of his orders, all the officers and soldiers of the front-line troops did not dare to rest. They were always nervous to welcome the coalition attack and were already exhausted.

Kazim also dared not fall asleep.

At the front line command, watching the sleepy senior generals kept asking intelligence staff to inquire about the other party’s situation.

Until now, the other party still has no movement.

He knew that the coalition forces had already been ready for attack, but in the meantime, they did not launch an attack.

"Kazim, should the US military and coalition be afraid? It's 3 o'clock now and there is no attack. We should order the soldiers to rest..."

As the deputy commander of the front line, Enagid is not as scared of Kazim as before.

It is not a problem for the front-line army to be so highly alert.

If it continues, it will not be a good thing to wait until the Iraqi army is exhausted and launch another surprise attack.

Kazim didn't care about his name, and knew that Enagid's proposal was correct: "It's not possible now, you must be prepared and be vigilant at all times. They may launch a surprise attack at any time. After tonight, they will arrange for troops to take turns to rest tomorrow."

Kazim knows Americans very well.
To be continued...
