The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Fighter jets took off, and F15 and F16 fighter jets were dispatched to destroy Iraq's Scud launch sites.

Israel's five F5 fighter jets and ten F15 fighter jets were discovered by the radar systems of Palestine, Syria and Jordan as soon as they took off.

The truth is that Israel's territory is long and narrow without depth, and it is difficult for any of its actions to be hidden from the radar system.

Fighter jets from Palestine, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon took off one after another.

10架歼7系列战斗机、8架歼8系列战斗机、4架歼10E战斗机和1架歼11E战斗机。

Even the Arab Coalition Air Force urgently launched 5 J-10E fighter jets and 2 J-11E fighter jets!
When Israeli fighter jets take off and head for Iraq, they will inevitably violate the airspace of other countries.

Invading the airspace of another country is violating its sovereignty, and other countries have the right to shoot it down.

If Israel wants to start another Middle East war, they will fight to the end.

This is the Middle East dilemma!

If we are not careful, Israel’s actions could trigger a war in the Middle East!

Even the United States has to handle the issue with caution.

After all, although the United States stands firmly behind Israel, it does not mean that the United States is willing to confront the entire Middle East Arab countries and become the enemy of the entire Middle East Arab countries.

Because the Middle East is related to the world’s energy!

Similarly, it is also directly related to the 'petrodollar', the foundation of the United States.

The United States bypassed the United Nations and unilaterally declared war on Iraq. In the final analysis, it was for the sake of consolidating the "petrodollar" system.

As for the claims that Iraq possesses weapons of mass destruction and supports al-Qaeda, these are just excuses made by the United States.

The complex situation in the Middle East has become even more complicated as Iraq launched missile attacks on Israel.

Under strong pressure from the United States, Israel ultimately did not launch the seventh Middle East war.

The truth is that the United States is unwilling to be involved in the seventh Middle East war under the current situation and become the enemy of the entire Middle East Arab countries because of Israel.

Having been engaged in two local wars, the Afghanistan War and the Iraq War, the United States has already felt its own inadequacy and is unable to get involved in a new war.

Once the seventh Middle East war breaks out, the United States may face the risk of failure in the Iraq War.

Because now, the Arab countries in the Middle East have the ability to blockade the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf.

Although the United States is strong, it is not yet that strong.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have failed to conquer Iraq until now.

Since the outbreak of the Iraq War, although there was a ceasefire for more than half a year due to some changes, the United States used all advanced weapons and equipment except nuclear weapons during the fighting.

A total of six aircraft carriers were mobilized. Even if one of them was severely damaged, the United States would mobilize an aircraft carrier and other warships from other places to the Persian Gulf to replenish the losses.

This time, the US military launched a large number of anti-aircraft missiles, air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, ground-to-ground missiles, ship-to-ground missiles, and submarine-launched missiles. The Air Force mobilized all the aircraft in service in the United States, even the most advanced B2 'Ghost' strategic bomber was put into use. This time, electronic warfare and information warfare were also included. The US information warfare forces launched an attack on Iraq's Internet, but were defended.

So far, Iraq's navy and air defense forces have not been destroyed, which makes the United States realize that something is wrong.

You know, according to the combat plan formulated at the beginning, the war would be launched on March 3 and would end on June 20 at the latest. In three months at the latest, the joint forces could occupy the entire Iraq and support a puppet government.

But it's September now and the war is still going on.

At this time in Hong Kong, no one wears a mask anymore.

Since January, strict border and customs control measures have been implemented to ensure health safety.

Hong Kong in September is still like summer, and there is no feeling of autumn coming.

Hong Kong is becoming more and more prosperous, and the start of school for hundreds of thousands of college students has added a touch of youthful vitality to Hong Kong.

Starting this year, Hong Kong universities and colleges have participated in the national college entrance examination for the first time, recruiting students nationwide through three channels: special recruitment, independent recruitment, and college entrance examination recruitment.

These universities in Hong Kong, like other universities in the mainland, have certain policy preferences towards Hong Kong, allowing people with Hong Kong household registration to have an easier time getting admitted to universities and attend college.

The admission scores of various universities in Hong Kong in Hong Kong are almost the same as the admission scores of various universities in Beijing in Beijing!
This is also the norm for colleges and universities to recruit students in their respective locations.

Although this is not fair to candidates from other provinces, where is there true absolute fairness in the world?

No!

There is no absolute fairness in the world, only relative fairness!

Liu Tao was listening to his secretary's report on the relevant situation. At this time, he was not only concerned about the arms trade, but also about other aspects of trade.

To be honest, the current progress of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was quite beyond his expectations, but he was very satisfied with the results.

The longer the US military's wars in Afghanistan and Iraq drag on, the less time it will have to worry about the Asia-Pacific region.

Whether it is the ASEAN 10+1 strategy, the South Asia 14+1 strategy, or the Northeast Asia economic integration strategy, all of these take time.

The fields of politics, economy, culture, science and technology, military, etc. are both independent and intertwined.

Most places in the ASEAN region were in full swing in post-war reconstruction, rebuilding homes amid the ruins. The entire mainland was swept by another wave of going to Southeast Asia, with more people going there to make a living.

Some even brought their families to Southeast Asia to farm. In Southeast Asia, any one person could get 100 acres of land, and a family of three could get 300 acres of land. In many places in the mainland, one person could only get three acres of land. Even if they went to Southeast Asia just to farm, they could live much more comfortably than in the mainland.

In South Asia, although they are also on guard against India starting another South Asian war and preparing for war, they are also developing their economies. And because the foundation is relatively weak, the development speed is still very fast.

Northeast Asian economic integration also requires a lot of effort. After all, US troops are stationed in Japan and South Korea. It is estimated that regional economic integration will lag behind 'ASEAN 10+1' and 'South Asia 14+1'. Even 'Central Asia 5+1' is expected to be faster than Northeast Asian economic integration.

In South Asia, only India and Sri Lanka are missing. Others, including the Maldives, have benefited greatly from this system and have now become tourist destinations.

The biggest obstacle for the five Central Asian countries is actually Russia. Russia has a very large influence in the five Central Asian countries and has always regarded the five Central Asian countries as its sphere of influence. At present, the economic and trade between the two sides is mainly in the fields of energy and minerals. More economic and trade are still being developed step by step. It is not so easy to develop the market. It needs to be done carefully step by step, and the interests involved must be handled well with Russia. (End of this chapter)
