Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

General Aziz sneered and said, "If it weren't for the Soviet Union's support, Persia wouldn't have been able to hold out for so long. Now the Soviet Union is too busy to continue to provide Persia with funds and supplies."

"By blocking Persia's economic sources through missile boats, Persia will collapse even if we don't launch an attack."

As soon as these words fell, the officers and staff surrounding General Aziz laughed wildly.

Persia and Latvia are both major oil countries.

The difference is that Latvia has both oil resources and strong assistance from desert countries.

These advantages greatly assisted the Kingdom of Lak and offset the population and land advantages of Persia.

Blocking the Persian coastline is equivalent to cutting off all channels for Persia to export oil.

Without the ability to transport oil, Persia was not only unable to sustain the war, but also unable to maintain their rule.

at the same time.

A military satellite in Earth orbit began to change its orbit.

High-resolution satellites can clearly capture the movements on the sea surface.

A few hours later, the signal was transmitted to US intelligence agencies.

After a quick analysis, eighty missile boats will arrive in the desert sea tomorrow morning.

"Mr. Great Commander, our fleet is ready to go."

"Tomorrow, the First Aircraft Carrier Battle Group under the Third Fleet will take the lead in blocking the speedboat formation's path and carry out provocations according to the established plan, forcing the other side to take the initiative and providing us with sufficient excuses to start a war."

In the circular office, Military Secretary Michel confidently reported to President Reagan and cabinet members on the implementation of the plan.

To ensure that the plan was foolproof, the military sent out ace elite troops to carry out a provocative mission.

Before the 1960s, the Seventh Fleet was the strongest among the many fleets of the U.S. Navy.

He was ordered to move to the island country and station there, becoming a maritime bully that has long held back the Dragon Country.

By the 1970s, the strength of the Soviet Union began to grow by leaps and bounds, showing a posture of the Soviet Union attacking and the United States defending.

Worried that its naval power was insufficient to balance the Soviet Union, and in order to respond to the Soviet Union's continued maritime provocations, the United States decided to rebuild the canceled Third Fleet.

In just over a decade, the Third Fleet surpassed the Seventh Fleet in size, becoming the Navy's top-ranked strategic strike force.

It has several nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and four aircraft carrier battle groups.

It's no exaggeration.

The overall combat effectiveness of the First Aircraft Carrier Battle Group is equivalent to half of the Seventh Fleet.

"Based on our understanding of Abdul, he will never compromise easily. As long as the First Aircraft Carrier Battle Group refuses to give way and insists on inspecting the speedboat formation, gunfire will surely break out at sea."

"For many years, we have built military bases in many desert countries. Currently, there are more than 30,000 military personnel stationed in the desert world, and more than 200 aircraft of various types. The Squid Nation has promised to provide us with various assistance including intelligence and logistical supplies when we launch the attack. Victory will definitely belong to the United States and the entire free world."

"Faced with our military threat, the desert countries will never dare to continue supporting the State of Latvia. This modern war will end in a very short time. By then, our troops will continue to enter the oil-producing areas, turning the State of Latvia into our puppet and its oil fields into our assets."

"Gentlemen, there is a question that we must not ignore. What if Abdul holds back?"

Senior cabinet officials expressed their opinions and were certain that this military provocation would provide the United States with an excuse to start a war.

Only one cabinet member expressed the opposite opinion.

Abdul is indeed a military maniac and he does have the courage to take action against the United States.

But we cannot generalize everything.

Fearing that the plan might fail, the United States dispatched its most elite First Aircraft Carrier Battle Group.

Facing the elite troops of the United States, even if Abdul was furious, would his civil and military officials be as crazy as Abdul?

Hearing this, everyone looked thoughtful.

It is indeed a problem.

If Abdul could hold back his anger and order the speedboat fleet to obey orders and accept inspection.

The United States would have no reason to launch an attack on Latin America.

President Reagan said with a wry smile: "Gentlemen, does it matter to us who fired the first shot?"

"We need the sound of gunfire, not the person firing the gun."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Does the United States need to follow so many rules when it comes to bullying others?

Even if Abdul took the initiative to pretend to be a grandson, the United States would not give him a chance to get through smoothly.

Commander Reagan put his hands on the table, stood up and looked around, and said in a gloomy tone: "Gentlemen, if the Rak country wants to settle the matter peacefully, our people will fire the first shot."

"Once Abdul gets his hands on Persian oil, Latakia will become the largest oil producer in the desert world."

"Based on this alone, our military operations can gain support from countless countries and capitals."

“The domestic oil tycoons will never allow Abdul to do this.”

"It is even more impossible for the Squid Nation to allow the Lak Nation to increase its strength step by step. The oil giants, the military giants, and the Squid Capital are all on our side."

"The press will also glorify our war. All that is missing now is the sound of a gunshot."

"Tomorrow, the excuse will be before us."

In preparation for the next military operation, the US top brass made preparations for several months.

Maritime provocations are just the beginning.

Once the war breaks out, the 30,000 ground troops deployed by the United States in the desert world will immediately go into offensive mode.

At the same time, the United States will also invite a series of desert countries to form a coalition to eliminate Abdul.

By inviting countries to join the war, the loyalty of each country to the United States is tested.

Any country that refuses the US invitation for a joint attack will immediately be added to the US blacklist.

Kill Abdul and occupy the country of Lak.

The United States will free up its hands to strike these disobedient desert countries one by one.

Completely take control of the desert countries and their oil.

Turn the desert oil producing areas into an inexhaustible ATM for the United States.

"Gentlemen, we will soon issue more than 50 billion US dollars in national debt. European countries will share one-third of it for us, and the remaining two-thirds will be paid by the desert countries."

"Issuing more national debt can help us fundamentally solve the economic problems of the United States, and it can also test the loyalty of other countries to us. In the face of this new international change, positions and camps are very important."

President Reagan made no secret of the United States' determination to dominate the world and achieve economic domination.

The next morning.

The speedboat fleet entered the desert sea.

At this time, an accident occurred.

A large number of large surface warships appeared in the sea ahead, all flying the US flag.

"Send a signal to tell those desert people to stop the ship for inspection. We suspect that the missile boat is loaded with weapons of mass destruction."

Command flagship of the 1st Carrier Battle Group.

The battle group commander, Major General Sean, held a telescope and looked at the speedboat formation in front of him with great interest.
