Chapter 65 Chapter 63 Wren's Principles

Wars usually begin at precise moments, but often end with neither clarity nor clarity.By daybreak, the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment had seized another battlefield, destroying a division of the UMI Second Army, while another division was facing the attack of the Saudi Second Brigade. Once again, the American troops stopped When refueling and replenishing ammunition, and preparing to continue attacking the enemy's third army, the second Saudi brigade was starting to attack, but the two sides have not yet engaged in a decisive battle. But things have changed.All tactical aircraft in the theater were now concentrated against those two divisions.First of all, the enemy's air defense facilities have become the target of attack, and every active radar has been captured by the high-speed anti-radiation missiles on the F｜Sixteen; two hours later, the American and Saudi pilots will be able to fly in the air unimpeded, safe and sound flight.UMI fighters tried to take off from their main base to defend their surrounded ground forces, but the Allies had built a tight radar network around their reinforcements' positions, and no fighter could escape the radar scan screen; they lost more than sixty fighters in the futile effort.It should have been easier for the enemy to punch those invading Kuwaiti brigades, the country's small air force was fighting alone for the vast majority of the day, and with very little tactics to speak of, across the marshes The road has been cut and will take days to repair.The Kuwaiti troops held out that day, though no feat, and wiped out three enemy divisions.For a small nation learning the art of war, it will be a battle that will be talked about for years, and its exploits will shine brighter with each description.

Over Third Army, the fighting turned into more organized sabotage after anti-aircraft missiles were launched and intercepted by Allied forces.On the ground, there are more than 600 combat vehicles of the Third Army, 800 infantry transport vehicles, more than 200 towed guns and self-propelled guns, thousands of trucks and 30,000 soldiers urgently evacuated on this foreign land. F|15E Eagle fighter jets circled at fifteen thousand feet, flying slowly, while the weapons system operators selected targets one by one for the laser-guided bombs.In the different search jurisdictions further below, F|Sixteen also used Maverick missiles and conventional bombs to join the bombing ranks.Before noon, the lieutenant-general commander of the Third Army realized that he was the supreme ground commander and ordered a general retreat, gathering the support trucks that had formed a temporary defensive camp in the military city, in an attempt to get his troops into order. get away.Bombs were falling over his head, the Fifth Saudi Brigade was approaching him from the east, and an American force was outflanking him in the rear; so he turned to the northwest, hoping to return to his own country from the same place he had entered. on the territory.On the ground, his vehicles did their best to conceal themselves with smoke screens, which did cause a little trouble for the Allied pilots, who could not fly very low to attack, since that would give the UIR forces a chance to counterattack.This made the Allah Nasional commander hopeful that he could withdraw two-thirds of his troops back to the country.Fuel is no problem as the entire Nasional Allah convoy is now with his troops.

Diggs stopped en route and was the first to see Ettington's brigade.He had expected this sight and smelled this breath a long time ago.The smell of diesel fuel and chemical propellants was accompanied by the disgusting stench of burning human flesh due to the large amount of fuel and ammunition carried by the tank, which could burn for quite a long time, perhaps up to two days. What now?Ettington had a cigar in his mouth.These victors experienced many emotional changes on the battlefield: doubts, arriving in haste, facing an unknown enemy with masked fear, entering battle with determination, in their case, with what they never imagined. Indignation goes into battle and exhilaratingly victorious, and later dreads such carnage and sympathizes with the vanquished enemy.The vast majority of the mechanized forces had regrouped in the past few hours and were ready to move again, with their military police and arriving Saudi forces taking over the prisoners.

Stay put.Diggs replied, to Eddington's disappointment and relief.The rest of the enemy are running fast, you can't catch them, and we have no orders to invade. They have just attacked us in the same way, said the National Guard colonel, recalling Wellington's words, and we stopped them in the same way.What a terrible thing. Remember Bobby Chancellorswell?Li? oh yes.He is also right.Those hours, Diggs, getting ready, aligning my battalion, getting information, and taking action.He shook his head.I'll never understand how things could be like that but now It's a good thing war is scary, otherwise we'd be too steeped in it, but it's strange how people forget that.Those poor offal.said the general, watching fifty prisoners being herded into the back of the truck.Clean up the field, Colonel.Order your troops to return and assemble.There may be orders to maneuver, but I think the chances are slim.

Three armies? They won't go far, Nick.We were still chasing the deserters, and drove them right up to the tenth cavalry line. It seems you still know Bev.Forrest's.This is one of the most important maxims of the Allied officer in pursuit of a deserter: do not give the fleeing enemy respite, harass him, wear him out, force him to make more mistakes, knock him down so that he will never really die again. Can't make a climate. My doctoral dissertation was about the political manipulator Hitler, although I didn't really like him.Diggs smiled and saluted.You and your brethren are very heroic, Nick.It's a pleasure traveling with you.

Me too, sir. The car had diplomatic license plates, but the driver and passengers knew that such things were not necessarily respected in Tehran.During a war, everything changes in a country, especially adding more guards to a secret facility that was set up before the war, thus making this secret facility easier to discover.While it might be wise to keep the number of guards guarding a secret facility the same, the average person would send more guards anyway.The car stopped, the driver pulled out binoculars, and the passenger pulled out a video camera.Sure, there are armed men all around the research building on the test farm, that's pretty unusual, isn't it?After some observation, their car turned onto the road and went straight back to the embassy.

They're catching the only straggler.The dark horse is in full pursuit, and this will be a time consuming tailgating.American combat vehicles are better and faster than those enemy combat vehicles they are chasing, but running is always easier than chasing.The pursuers had to lie in ambush carefully, refraining from destroying more of the enemy for fear of further sacrifices in a war already won.The enemy's confusion allowed the 11th Cavalry to advance, and the Allied right wing was radioing the advance guard of the Saudi forces, who had just completely wiped out the last battalions of the Second Army and were about to join them. The final decisive battle to destroy the third army.

Lock on the chariot target.A car captain said, at ten o'clock, the distance is four thousand one. Target locked.While the gunner was speaking, the Abrams chariot stopped, making it easier to shoot. Pause launch.The commander suddenly said that they were leaving the tank and gave them a few seconds. OKGunners can also see.Either way, the T|80's main gun was pointing elsewhere.They waited for the chariot crew to move away about a hundred meters or so. OK, kill them all. emission.The tail of the gun retracted, the chariot jolted, and the shells flew out.Three seconds later, another tank turret was blown into the sky.Didn't expect it.

hit the target.Stop launching.drive, go.Commander ordered.They had already destroyed a dozen of the enemy's chariots.The drivers wanted to know what kind of record they could set.At this point, the commander made a location marker for the three enemy crew members on his vehicle intelligence system, which would automatically notify the regimental security unit where they could capture them.The advance cavalry gave them a lot of leeway.It's possible, though unlikely, that one of them will fire back or do something stupid, but they have neither the time nor the desire to waste ammo.There is still a battle to be fought, unless the opponent is smart enough to decide to call it a day.

Any comments?asked the President of the United States. Sir, this sets a precedent.Cliff.Rutledge replied. That's right.Ryan said.They started by watching unedited footage of the battlefield, which showed the usual horrors of a body shattered by explosives, a whole body with an unknown cause of death, and a hand sticking out of a personnel carrier that was still smoking inside.Some poor fellow was close to getting out, but it was a little short in the end.Soldiers from two different countries but from the same culture have died at the hands of the American military, but they were sent to die by a man they had to obey; Gambling their lives as chips, he didn't expect such an outcome.Power comes with responsibility, Jack knew, he would be like George.As President Bush did in 1991, he wrote a personal letter to the families of every American service member who died.The letters served two purposes, possibly as a comfort to bereaved families and as a reminder of who ordered the dead to go to battle.Although he doesn't know what they look like, everyone's life is precious and the owner's most valuable property. Ryan participated in the act of depriving them of their lives. Although he knew it was inevitable, but for him For him, this is something he can never get rid of, whether it is now or in the future, as long as he is still sitting in this building, he has to face it all.That, he told himself, was the difference; I knew my responsibility and he didn't know his; he was still living under the delusion that the people were responsible to him, not he to the people.

This is political dynamite, Mr. President.Van Damme said. so? There is a legal question, Pat.Martin told him that this contradicted a presidential order duly signed into effect by President Ford. I know the order, Lane replied, but who gets to decide what the President orders? President of the United States, sir.Martin replied. Draft a new presidential order for me. All he could do was cry hysterically, which was a rare thing for him to do.The contents of the tape are beyond doubt.Global TV has the right to broadcast immediately, so he has no right to prevent the broadcast of the program.What can he do now?Order them to turn off the TV? Why don't they attack?Da Yelan asked. We have lost contact with the army commander and all the corps commanders.We now only have some contact with two divisions of our army.One brigade reported that they were moving north because enemy troops were pursuing them. anything else? Our troops have been defeated.The head of intelligence and governance said. But how were they defeated? Does that matter? The Third Army of the United Islamic Republic was advancing north, while the Bison was advancing south.The Third Army didn't know what was waiting for them ahead, and they didn't figure it out until around three or four in the afternoon.Masterman's 1st Squadron has eliminated about a hundred tankers and other trucks so far, more than the other two battalions have all eliminated, and the only question now is how large the enemy will deploy of resistance.Before long, he learned from the air cover the exact location of the advance force, how strong and concentrated it was, and in what direction it was moving.This time it was much easier than his last observation operation. A company covered the front, B and C companies followed about three kilometers behind, and the tank company served as a reserve.Afraid of being bombarded by the United Islamic Republic forces, he decided not to use shelling for the time being, lest the enemy be aware of the presence of tanks.Since there would be contact at a distance of less than ten minutes, he shifted Company A to the right flank. Company A launched a maximum-range bombardment with towed missiles, smashing the first line of jagged vehicles.When the company cut into the cut-off formation with a pre-planned oblique line and fired artillery from the enemy's front left to the enemy, the company commander estimated that the enemy had at least a battalion-sized force.The enemy division came from Iraq. They retreated in another direction, but they were driven into the pincer area of ​​the other two cavalry units. I am flag number six.Hit the left, and repeat, hit the left.Masterman ordered from the command vehicle. B and C companies then turned east, advanced at full speed for about three kilometers, and then turned back.Almost at the same time, Masterman ordered the artillery to fire on the enemy's second echelon. This last time was a very mechanical tragedy.In broad daylight, the flames of the artillery fire were no longer so bright, and the chariot advanced in the dust of the bullets it had created.As planned, the enemy force fell back again under the devastating blows of B and C companies, and then returned again, hoping to find a gap between the first attacking force and the second attacking force.But what they found instead consisted of the squadron's tank company's fourteen M-A-2 Abrams, deployed like a breakwater.When the flag breaks into the enemy formation, the situation is the same as before, first destroying enemy tanks and then mechanized infantry personnel carriers.The enemy vehicles that were not under shelling stopped moving, and the crews jumped out of the vehicles and fled.Masterman learned of all this as he marched west.After panicking and being cut off from retreat, those enemy troops who were lucky enough to see the army retreat in time decided not to make unnecessary resistance.So the third (and last) battle in Military City ended thirty minutes after the beginning of the battle. It's not so easy for intruders either.The advance Saudi forces also fought an unhurried battle with enemy vehicles in the final mass engagement and fought their way through another brigade.It was an Iranian brigade, and thus more conspicuous than the Arab troops.By evening, all six UIR divisions that had entered the kingdom had been wiped out.Before the three-party allied forces could make a final and decisive outcome, the struggling remnants of the enemy surrendered under the orders of their superiors. As before, the most troublesome thing was the management of the prisoners, and the chaos of the evening made the situation worse.The commander reported that the problem would persist for at least a day, fortunately the vast majority of the UIM defeated soldiers had their own water and food.They were forced to take off their gear and put them under guard, but since they were so far from home, they didn't have much to worry about trekking across the desert. Clark and Chavez left the Russian embassy an hour after sunset.In the backseat of their car was a large suitcase, the contents of which did not appear to be too dangerous to anyone and befitting of their status as journalists.In their opinion, this task is somewhat absurd.However, although this task made Clark a little bit embarrassed, it still made Chavez quite excited.The drive from the embassy to the alley behind the coffee shop was peaceful.The coffee shops were closed, the roads were pitch dark because of the blackout in the city, not only were the street lights turned off, but all the windows had their curtains drawn, and only cars could drive around with the lights on.This helped them; in unlit alleys, the locks were easily turned.Chavez gently opened the door and looked in, while Clark followed behind with a suitcase.Then the two walked in and closed the door behind them.When they went up to the second floor, they heard voices in the house.Here lives a couple in their fifties who are watching TV in the dining room. Hello.Clark greeted calmly, please keep quiet. what are you going to do We will not hurt you.As Ding looked around, John said good, the power supply would come in handy.Please lie on the floor. You are We'll let you go when we leave.Clark continued speaking in the local language fluently, but if you resist, we will have to hurt you. The two men appeared in their house like thieves, and they were too frightened to resist.Clark bound their hands and feet with wires, laid them flat on the ground, and gave the old woman a drink of water before gagging her. Make sure they can breathe.Clark spoke in English this time.He checked all the knots, and when everything was satisfactory they went upstairs. The really crazy part is the communication gear.Travez opened the suitcase and began to take things out.The flat roof of the house was clearly visible even from houses three blocks away.Therefore, they had to lower their bodies and do things.First, Ding set up a mini-satellite dish; its tripod is heavy, with spikes to attach it to the roof.Then, he needs to rotate the antenna so that he can get the signal transmitted by the satellite.Once that was done, he fixed the dish and pulled out the camera.The camera also had a tripod; Travez set the tripod up, then rigged the camera, aimed it, turned it on, and aimed at the center of the three buildings they were interested in.Next, they plugged the camera's cable into the open trunk generator. That's it, John. The strange thing is that they can upload to the satellite, but they can't download the satellite, because they don't have a separate channel to use, so they need some extra equipment, which they don't have. Appeared.Robert.Jackson reported from the National Military Command Center. That's right.Fu Mali confirmed that she was watching the same scene.She made a call to the American embassy in Moscow, then to the Russian foreign ministry, then to the Russian embassy in Tehran, and finally to John's phone.Ivan, can you hear me?she asked in Russian, it's me.It was a long time before she heard his reply. Ah Maria, great to hear from you.Thank goodness we have phones, John thought to himself, and heaved a sigh of relief. I see you.she went on. I used to be so young. He is ready and everything is calm.The deputy director of operations said. good.Jackson picked up another phone.Get moving, repeat, get moving.please confirm. Operation Booth begins.Diggs confirmed from Riyadh. Iran's air defenses are on maximum alert.Although their homeland was not under any attack, radar operators were keeping a close eye on it.They observed several aircraft patrolling the Saudi and Qatari coasts, mostly along the coast. The Bandit 251 and Bandit 252 fighters each completed their refueling maneuvers within seconds.Normally stealth fighters don't act in groups, in fact, they are designed to act alone but this time it was different.After leaving the KC|Ten transport, the two fighters turned north for about an hour; there was a thousand feet of vertical separation between them.The refueling crew remained in place, preparing to refuel fighter jets on routine patrol off the Saudi coast, which is normal for nighttime operations.Fifty miles away, an AWACS tracked all targets, and not even E|3B could detect F|117. We meet again.The president said to the makeup artist a little awkwardly. You look very tired.Mary.Abbott told him. I am very tired.Ryan admitted. Your hands are shaking. That's because of lack of sleep.He lied. Carly.Weston was typing a revised version of his speech directly into the teleprompter.This time, even the TV technician couldn't watch the content, which surprised her.After she finished typing, she roughly read the entire manuscript to check for spelling mistakes, because her years of experience told her that if there were typos, it would cause trouble for the president during the live TV broadcast. Clark saw some of the guards outside smoking.Really undisciplined, but they're probably trying to stay sane. John, do you find this job really exciting? Want to go to the bathroom?Even for them, this is a very normal reaction. think. Me too.This is a scene that cannot be seen in the 007 movie.Um.I don't know about it.Clark plugged headphones into his ears and heard a voice saying the president would speak in two minutes.As he listened, he took the last two items out of the suitcase. My fellow citizens, I am here to give an update on the situation in the Middle East.The president said straight to the point. Organized resistance by United Islamic Republic forces that invaded the kingdom of Saudi Arabia ended about four hours ago.Fighting side by side, Saudi, Kuwaiti and U.S. forces have wiped out six enemy divisions in a day and night of fierce fighting. I can tell you now that our country sent the 10th and 11th Cavalry Regiments, plus the 1st Brigade of the North Carolina National Guard and the 366th Air Wing from Idaho Air Force Base.They fought a large-scale battle south of King Khalid's military city, and I believe you have seen some details of it on TV.The last UIM forces attempted to withdraw from the battlefield and flee north, but their retreat was cut off, and after a brief engagement they surrendered.At this moment, ground operations in this area are over. I say now because this war is unlike most of the wars we have known in the past fifty years.This was a direct attack on our people and territory, a deliberate attack on our people and an attack using weapons of mass destruction.There are too many violations of international law in this attack, the president continued, but it would be wrong to say that this was an attack by the people of the United Islamic Republic on the people of the United States. People cannot wage war.Usually the initiation of war is decided by one person, and this person is usually a king, monarch or tribal leader.The decision to wage an aggressive war has never been the result of a democratic process. We the American people have no quarrel with the former Iranian and Iraqi people.Their religion may not be the same as ours, but we are a nation that protects religious freedom.Their language is different from ours, but the American people welcome people who speak a different language.We Americans have always believed that all human beings are equal, enjoy the same freedom and the same opportunity, and they will all use their own abilities to achieve success. In the past twenty-four hours, we have eliminated at least 10,000 UIM soldiers, and probably many more.We don't know now and probably never will know the enemy's death toll.But we must tell ourselves that they did not choose this fate themselves, but others chose it for them, and it was chosen by one person.Ryan clasped his hands together unnaturally.To all the TV viewers, that looked weird. coming.Chavez said, putting his face close to the small window of the camera, which was displaying the signal transmitted from the satellite.start.Clark pressed the laser transmitter with his thumb, carefully watching it shoot into the invisible infrared environment.He inspected through the window, placing the spot of light on the cornice of the building.There was a guard standing there. Diggs ordered in Riyadh: Final check. This is Robber 251.he heard the answer This is number two five two. Throughout history, kings and sovereigns have waged wars at will and left people to die.To the king, they are just peasants, and war is just a tool for grabbing power and wealth, it is a kind of entertainment, and if the people die, no one will care; Because they are supreme.This method has been passed down to the century, and the leaders of the country inherit the right to wage war.This principle changed after World War II when we tried and executed those responsible at Nuremberg.But at that time, in order to arrest criminals, 20 million Russians and 6 million Jewish lives were sacrificed. These are things that our historians don't know. Wren looked up and saw Andrea.Price waved to him.She didn't smile.It wasn't something to laugh about, but she gave him the hint anyway. Ground lasers are just a safeguard.They could get in without ground lasers, but finding exactly the house they're looking for in the city isn't easy, and they want to minimize collateral damage.The two Bandit fighters opened the bomb bay door very punctually.Each fighter carried a five-hundred-pound bomb, the smallest bomb capable of carrying a pavement navigation device.Two bombs hang from a hanger while the tips of their seekers look for a frequency-modulated laser signal.After the two bombs searched for the laser point, the pilot was notified, and they carried out the release.The pair then did something a stealth fighter had never done on a previous bombing mission. Bandit No. 251 is bombed! Bandit No. 252 has finished bombing! Historically, every human opinion, good or bad, started with one person's thoughts, and wars have usually started because someone thought it was profitable to kill and steal.For the first time, war has happened to us in a particularly brutal way.And, we can be pretty sure who is behind it. All over the world, in every country with a satellite dish and a television, the television screen cuts from the Oval Office at the White House to a three-story building on a city street.Many viewers thought it was some sort of misdirection, maybe footage from a movie, maybe a wrong edit Only a few people noticed that the picture was different, and they noticed it even before the president continued to speak.Tayelan was also watching the speech of the President of the United States; he was purely curious.What kind of person is this Ren?He had been guessing for a long time, but it was too late when he figured it out. This is where he lives.Mamod.Haji.Tayelan's residence is the man who attacked our country with the virus, attacked my children, and even tried to attack me; this man gave his army the mission of conquest, and this mission eventually turned into a mission of death.He is a man who has defiled his religion and the laws of humanity and country.Now, Mr. Tayelan, this is America's answer. The president's voice stopped, and a second or two later, his translation was broadcast all over the world.There was a moment of silence. When countless pairs of eyes watched the ordinary black and white picture of this very ordinary building, everyone knew that something amazing was about to happen.Those who looked very carefully saw a light come on in one of the windows and the front door opened, but probably no one knew who this man was going to leave because two bombs actually fell, hitting the roof, It exploded in an instant. The sound of the explosion was terrible, and the shock wave it caused was even more powerful.The two saw it all regardless of danger.The echo was interrupted by the sound of shattering glass within half a mile. How are you?Ding asked. fine.What a delight. Went to his. Immediately they hurried downstairs to the bedroom level.Chavez cut the wires on them with a knife; he estimated it would take them about five minutes to move freely.The alley allowed them to drive out of the area and avoid the ambulances that roared toward the three buildings that had been reduced to ashes.Half an hour later, they returned safely to the Russian embassy.Someone offered vodka and they drank it.Chavez had never experienced such a tense moment, and Clark had.Vodka really works. The United States hereby declares to the people of the United Islamic Republic: First, we already know the exact location of the germ warfare factory, and we have requested and received Russian assistance.Although they are neutrals in this dispute, they understand this weapon.A team of technical experts is now on its way to Tehran.As soon as they arrive, you must take them to the factory and let them destroy it.Also accompanied by journalists to attest to this fact.If you can't do that, then, twelve hours from now, we'll use a low-level nuke, dropped by a stealth fighter, to destroy the facility.Don't think that I won't give this order.The United States cannot tolerate the existence of that facility and its inhuman weapons.The twelve hour period starts now. Second, your prisoners of war will all be treated well in accordance with international conventions and hospitality standards.As long as you send to the United States everyone who was involved in planning and delivering that weapon to the United States, and those who were behind the attack on my daughter, we will return the prisoners of war immediately.Other than that, there is no room for negotiation. Third, we will give your country one week to consider these requests.If you do not agree, the United States will declare an endless war.You have seen our capabilities and our results.I can assure you that if we had to go to war, we would do better.The choice is yours, so choose wisely. Finally, I want to tell all those countries that covet us, the United States will not tolerate your attacks on our country, property or people.From now on, as long as someone does this, no matter who you are, no matter where you hide, no matter how long it takes, we will find you.I have sworn before God that I will do the job of the President.I will keep my vows, and those who would be our friends will find that we are true friends.As for those who would like to be our enemies, please remember that we also take it seriously. My fellow citizens, the past has been a difficult time for us and some of our allies, as well as our enemies.We have defeated the aggressors, we have punished those responsible for the brutal toll on our country, and we will settle accounts with those who obeyed him, but for the rest, let us recall now Look at Abraham.What President Lincoln said: Do not be malicious to anyone, be kind to all, be true to the rights, because God has given us the right to understand, let us strive to complete the work we have done, to heal the wounds of the country to achieve and cherish all that may be in Justice and lasting peace among us and among all nations. Thanks and good luck.
