The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

George Walton wanted to capture Bin Laden and Saddam.

But it's not that easy.

Bin Laden has many supporters in the Islamic world.

Not to mention whether Bin Laden has left Afghanistan, it is not easy to capture Bin Laden in such a vast mountainous area in Afghanistan.

So far, the United States only controls 70% of Afghanistan, and some of the controlled territory is being lost.

There are wars every day on the battlefield in Afghanistan.

So far, it is still difficult for the United States to establish effective rule in Afghanistan. How to deal with guerrilla warfare and how to conduct security warfare have become a top priority for the United States.

The United States suddenly discovered that large-scale combat and large-scale troop operations are no longer suitable for modern warfare.

Because they may not fight a large-scale military battle with you, but may fight a guerrilla war with you.

Will the United States go to war with a major power?
The possibility is very slim!
Therefore, the United States is now planning a new round of military transformation, using small forces to fight in order to win the current wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Saddam, who was being worried about by George Wharton, was currently at a command post in the Kurdish mountains.

This command post was built in the mountains and was very solidly constructed to prevent American ground-penetrating missiles.

The United States has developed a giant ground-penetrating missile called the GBU-57, which can penetrate about 60 meters of reinforced concrete and about 40 meters of rock before detonating.

There is no doubt that such a design is definitely not used on conventional battlefields, but is specifically used for blasting underground buildings such as air-raid shelters, tunnels, or other defensive buildings.

At this time, Saddam looked obviously much older. After all, he was not young, he was nearly 70 years old. The defeat in the Iraq War was a big blow to Saddam.

But he did not admit defeat and continued to fight.

At this time, Saddam was watching the news and showed a mocking look.

Now European and American media are smearing him heavily, describing him as a famous murderous demon and despotic dictator in human history, saying that he regards Iraq as the private property of his own family and surname, acts recklessly, regards human life as worthless, and disregards international rules.

But what he was dealing with internally were the rebellious Kurds. If this happened in any country, no ruler would allow internal separatist forces and would only attack the Kurds.

Some people also say that he is an autocratic dictator, which is simply ridiculous. If he wanted to, he could turn Iraq into a kingdom and become the king himself!
It was Saddam who, starting in the 70s, used a large amount of oil revenue to improve people's livelihood. Even after the Gulf War, it was Saddam who endured humiliation and tried every means to raise money for post-war reconstruction, and implemented high social welfare when conditions allowed.

It is said that he disregards international rules, but which country truly disregards international rules?

Which country started the Vietnam War, which country invaded Panama, which country started the Libya War, and which country started the Kosovo War, the Afghanistan War, and the Iraq War! ?

This is a violation of the sovereignty of other countries!
It was said that the war had nothing to do with civilians, but look at which country was carrying out the inhumane bombing of Libya, and which country was even bombing nursing homes, schools, hospitals and orphanages?
What human rights are above sovereignty! ?

Ha ha!

Saddam sneered!

This world is a world where the strong prey on the weak!
Only with powerful military force can we protect ourselves and avoid being invaded.

Iraq lost the war because it was not strong enough! If Iraq was strong enough, the United States would not dare to invade Iraq.

Sadam took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes and a cigarette and started smoking. The current living conditions were naturally far worse than before, but Sadam did not despise them. He did not pursue material conditions. He had already enjoyed the best things in the world, such as wild game.

His life has entered the countdown, and he doesn't have much time left. He has only one thing to do, and that is to drive the Americans away, drive the Americans out of Iraq, and make Iraq independent again!

Although it was very difficult, Saddam felt there was hope because he still had as many as 200,000 troops and continuous external support.

Although his people have been divided into two halves by the Americans, they can now communicate through satellite phones and obtain supplies of funds, materials, weapons and ammunition from the outside.

The Kurdish mountainous area where he was located could receive a steady supply from Persia.

Although the Americans built outposts at various important roads to prevent their people from entering other areas, they could not build outposts on the Persian side.

The Americans did not attack the area themselves, but instead asked Kurdish forces to do the attack.

Kurdish Armed Forces!?

Saddam showed contempt.

Back then, he drove all the Kurds out of Iraq and into Turkey.

As a result, this group of people, with the support of the Americans, actually established a country and occupied 12.5 square kilometers of land in Türkiye.

If it weren't for the Americans, Saddam would have been very confident that he could have once again crushed the Kurds.

This land belongs to the Arabs, not the Kurds!
Saddam smoked two cigarettes, with determination in his eyes. He would not give up and would never compromise. He chose to fight to the end.

Just then, Rashid came over.

Rashid also looked unkempt. The failure of the decisive battle was a huge blow to Rashid. He blamed himself very much. If he had not rashly launched the decisive battle, perhaps Iraq would not have failed.

Iraq lost the war, and Rashid believed he should bear the greatest responsibility.

However, he did not give up, but retreated into the Kurdish Mountains and continued to resist with the help of the Kurdish Mountains' well-developed defense lines.

There are more than 100,000 Iraqi troops here. Although there are only 60,000 in regular formation and 100,000 are defeated soldiers, these defeated troops have been reorganized during this period.

Fortunately, there were sufficient supplies of materials and weapons, and Saddam's encouragement from time to time. After winning several battles, the morale was restored.

As for his family, Rashid had already sent them to Hong Kong.

Even if he really died in the war, his family could live a wealthy life in Hong Kong.

And there, there is no need to worry about encountering any trouble.

Similarly, many people have already sent their families out of Iraq, with those with limited means sending them to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, and those with more means sending them to the East.

When Rashid saw Saddam, he couldn't help but show respect. He had ambitions before, but now these ambitions were completely gone because he found that he was indeed far inferior to Saddam.

When everyone else lost confidence and was confused, it was Saddam who stood up and told everyone firmly that the final victory would belong to the Iraqi people and that the Iraqi people would definitely drive the Americans out of Iraqi land. (End of this chapter)
