Dominate South Asia

Chapter 789: A sudden turn

The United States represents strength and global dominance. In diplomacy, the United States must be aggressive! Therefore, faced with the advice given by Nicholas, Bush Sr. could never accept it.

economy? Without the status of the United States as a major country and the dominance of the US dollar in the world, where would the economy be?

The Gulf is an important part of the United States' Asia strategy, but it actually wants to make concessions on the Gulf issue! How is this possible! Bush would never agree with Nicholas' statement.

Seeing Nicholas slam the door out, Bush knew he had to choose a new Treasury Secretary.

"President Bush, our economic problems are also very important." Seeing Nicholas leave, Vice President Dan Quayle said: "If we don't solve the economic problems, the people will drive us out of office. We want to win next time." Running for election is very difficult.

Of course, Dan Quayle is anxious. According to American procedures, if Bush Sr. loses his seat and is ousted by the people, then Dan Quayle will have to temporarily take over as president. Whoever cleans up this mess will have a headache.

Moreover, Bush Sr. has been re-elected for two terms and will definitely not be able to participate in the next presidential election. Dan Quayle is likely to run on behalf of the party. Now that the public opinion is so bad, who will vote for him?

"Of course we have to solve economic problems." Bush said: "We are about to take over Iran's oil producing areas. Once we occupy these places, we can completely control the world oil price. By then, our domestic economic problems will be easily solved."

Bush Sr. is indeed only proficient in fighting! Economic problems cannot be solved simply by having oil resources. At most, it can only cultivate a few new oil tycoons, and at most, oil-related industries can develop. But now, the economic problems facing the United States are overall, and the whole is in decline. The entire country is facing inflation and increasing unemployment, and it can't be solved by just relying on oil.

In particular, if China sells its foreign exchange reserves in the international market and supports the euro, the United States is still unable to come up with any policies to respond.

"Bang." At this moment, the door was pushed open again. Bush looked up, thinking that Nicholas was back again, but he saw the deputy secretary of defense looking hurriedly.

"President. Unfortunately, the Iranians have launched a large-scale counterattack. They are using human sea tactics to launch a fierce attack on us on the entire front!"

Some time ago, Iran was still in the period of adjustment. Facing the Americans' integrated air-land attack, they were temporarily at a loss and their mobilization was slow. Moreover, the Americans' attack was too sharp, so. They were still losing ground.

Now, the Iranians have finally taken a breath, and they have recruited a large number of people into the army. Shouting slogans, under the leadership of the mullahs, they launched a fierce counterattack against the Americans!

So what if there are more fighter planes? After getting close, when the two sides fell into a glue state, the fighter planes did not dare to drop bombs in order to prevent accidental explosions. So what if it’s well-equipped? The Iranians have a fearless spirit. They can strap explosives to their bodies to blow up the powerful M1 main battle tanks. Although the armor cannot be broken by the explosion, as long as the track is broken, the tank will collapse.

Almost in an instant, the war advantage that the United States had worked so hard to establish disappeared again, and all fronts were in danger.

Americans have never fought like this on Iranian soil. Every civilian is a warrior!

Encouraged by the religious spirit, the Iranians broke out completely. Iranian lives were worthless anyway. Even if ten Iranian lives were exchanged for one American, Americans would never be able to afford it. In a country where all the people are soldiers, the United States has no hope of victory.

that's all. After the war situation had improved, but then suddenly took a sharp turn, Americans were surprised to find that the Iranians around them had changed in an instant and completely turned into a fighting race.

When a five-year-old child, with his body covered with explosives, got into the sewer and detonated it in an American military base, it almost declared that the Americans could not win this war!

"Damn it!" Bush Sr. looked at the reports from the front line, with sweat dripping from his forehead. He knew that the United States was in big trouble.

Perhaps, he should listen to Nicholas and focus on the economy?

No! By doing this, you are creating a greater foundation for the United States. The United States must persist. As long as it persists for a period of time, the situation will get better!

After receiving news of the Iranian counterattack, the United States insisted on going its own way and continued to increase its troops in the Iranian region in an attempt to overwhelm its opponents through military strength and technological superiority.

"Boom!" A grenade flew out of the tank, and the Iranians who rushed up crazily from a distance fell down in large pieces. However, there were more Iranians behind them, still rushing forward desperately. They were holding simple AKM rifles and rushing towards the US military position here.

How many times has this happened? The Americans guarding this position have been beaten to the point of fear. The Iranians on the opposite side seem to be not afraid of death at all, they just know how to rush up like this!

However, we can no longer retreat, and behind us is Bandar Abbas Port! It is the logistics base for the entire US military. After leaving Gwadar Port in Pakistan, the US military regarded Bandar Abbas as its main logistics base and an important naval base.

While the U.S. military continued to advance northwest along the coast of the Persian Gulf, the troops here were gradually decreasing. Now the Iranians attacked here with heavy troops, which was obviously premeditated. They already knew that the U.S. was now short of troops here, so they wanted to take it down in one fell swoop!

By taking over the port of Abbas, the Iranians can control the Strait of Hormuz, and all the American ships coming and going will be exposed to the attacks near the port of Abbas! If the Iranians control this place, it can be said that the busy oil transportation in the Persian Gulf will be completely stopped.

The battle was very fierce, and the disadvantage of the U.S. military's insufficient manpower gradually emerged. They could not defend the periphery of the port of Abbas!

"Quick, hide!" Captain Calvin shouted loudly, stretching his head out and hitting several charging Iranians with an M16 rifle.

In the distance opposite, rockets flew over!

The attack by the US Air Force has destroyed most of the Iranian factories. They can no longer produce complex weapons. The rockets on the other side are crudely made. In fact, they are just steel pipes with cones and tails welded on them. At the same time, they are filled with propellants. Many of them will not explode when they are hit, but the large number will also cause casualties to the US military.

Is it the same thing that is flying this time?

Looking at the flying flames, Calvin's mouth opened wide. Damn, that is standard equipment, 107 rockets!

"Boom, boom!" The 107 rockets flew over and blew up big pits on the positions here. Almost in the explosion, those fanatical Iranians rushed up again.

"Quick, fire support!" Calvin shouted loudly, but there was no gunfire.

Calvin looked around him and saw that the soldiers were frantically taking out gas masks from their equipment.

Is it a poison gas bomb? Calvin looked at an unexploded rocket in the distance, and a liquid was flowing out of it.

There is no time to hesitate! He also quickly took out his gas mask.

"Boom!" There was another earth-shaking sound. Calvin looked up. The M1 tank they relied on the most had its armor torn from the front, and huge flames were coming out at this time.

Damn it!

These Iranians got anti-tank missiles from somewhere, which were quite powerful. At close range, they could actually tear the main armor of the M1!

"Call for air support, quickly, we can't hold on!" Calvin shouted.

Wearing a gas mask, his voice was out of tune. Calvin knew that the M1 tank used as a firing point was destroyed, and their position really couldn't withstand the attack.

"Air support will arrive in twenty minutes." The radioman said.

Twenty minutes? Damn it, we can't hold on until then! Looking at the Iranians all over the mountains, Calvin decided to issue an order to retreat. It was time to retreat into the city of Bandar Abbas and fight street battles.

Although the United States has a strong air force, it is now fighting everywhere. There are nearly a thousand battlefields in Iran! Air support was being called everywhere. The US Air Force and the Navy tried their best but still could not provide timely support, which made the US Army, which was accustomed to air-ground integrated operations, quite uncomfortable.

In April 1995, when the situation in Iran was very good, the Iranians suddenly launched a fierce counterattack. The Iranians were not afraid of sacrifice and almost did not regard their lives as lives, just like an ant. Under this fearless offensive, the Americans actually began to retreat. On the long Persian Gulf front, the US army was divided into many sections, and the battle was quite fierce.

The most intense battle was undoubtedly the port of Abbas, which was related to the direction of the entire Iranian war. Here, Iran dispatched 600,000 troops, including the Revolutionary Guards as the spearhead, which accounted for almost 1% of the Iranian population, and launched a human wave tactic to conquer this port occupied by only 50,000 US troops.

Because there were battles everywhere in Iran, although the United States knew that this place was important, it had no time to mobilize its troops, and the Iranian army with human wave tactics had already broken through the defense line and entered the city of Abbas.

Here, the United States is going to fight a street battle with Iran. No matter whether they are well-trained or just starting out, street fighting is a way of fighting that results in heavy casualties. The Iranians once fought a street battle with Iraq in Abadan, resulting in more than 100,000 casualties on both sides. Abadan was also called the Blood City. (To be continued ~^~)
