The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

At this moment, the Iranian nuclear issue broke out again!
International Atomic Energy Agency staff were driven out of Persia.

Persia activated the device again.

When the news came out, the international community was shocked.

The Iranian nuclear issue has a long history, dating back to the 20s. At that time, Iran's nuclear energy development activities were supported by the United States and other Western countries. In order to make full use of nuclear energy resources, Iran started its nuclear energy development plan in the late 50s and invested a lot of money to build a nuclear power plant, 20 nuclear research centers and 50 uranium processing facilities.

In 1979, Iran established an Islamic state. In 1980, the United States and Iran broke off diplomatic relations. Iran refused to succumb to the Western countries led by the United States. At the same time, the wars and military operations launched by the United States around Iraq forced Iran to consider the protection of national security. The United States began to accuse Iran of secretly developing nuclear weapons under the cover of "peaceful use of nuclear energy" and adopted a "containment" policy against it. The wars and military operations launched by the United States around Iraq include the two Iraq Wars, the Afghanistan War, the US military's long-term stay in Afghanistan and Iraq, the US invasion of Somalia, and the US military aircraft's air strikes on western Pakistan. In addition, the US military has stationed a large number of troops in the Middle East, Central Asian countries, and South Asian islands near Iraq, which seriously threatens Iraq's security.

The Middle East is an important region connecting Europe and Asia. It is also rich in mineral resources such as oil and natural gas. The Middle East has always been the target of major powers. The three major throat channels for the world's energy exports - the Strait of Hormuz, the Suez Canal, and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait connecting the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden are all in the Middle East. The United States has already controlled most of Iraq and Afghanistan, leaving only Iraq uncontrolled. The United States has taken the opportunity to station troops in the Middle East during the Gulf War and expanded the control range of the US Central Command: it has five branch commands under its jurisdiction, namely the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Special Forces, as well as three comprehensive commands: the Iraq Multinational Armed Forces Command, the Afghanistan Joint Forces Command, and the Horn of Africa Joint Operations Command.

If it were in the past, Iran's development of nuclear weapons would be more or less understandable.

But now, the United States has been driven out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and its military presence in the Middle East is reduced to 30,000 US troops on the Israeli-Palestinian border.

The proxy war the United States is waging in North Africa is also far from the Persian Gulf.

At the previous meeting to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue, Iran solemnly promised to give up developing nuclear weapons.

It is for this reason that the United States compromised and relaxed most of its restrictions on Iran, allowing Iran to do business normally.

What a surprise! Now Iran has actually driven away the staff of the International Atomic Energy Agency and started the equipment again. What does it want to do?
You know, according to the agreement signed at the beginning, Iran was going to shut down nuclear power plants, nuclear research centers and uranium processing facilities.

But now, Iran has clearly broken its promise.

You know, with the capabilities that Israel and Iran have now, if they are really determined to develop nuclear weapons, they can cross the nuclear threshold in a few years. As long as they obtain the weapon-grade enriched uranium or plutonium needed to make nuclear weapons, they will inevitably make nuclear weapons.

At this time, the nuclear issue broke out again, shocking the whole world, and everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Iran.

You know, at the conference that year, Persia solemnly promised to the international community to give up nuclear research.

Now, the promise is blatantly broken!
Liu Tao was also shocked and felt the difficulty of the matter.

In the face of Iran's actions, according to the tacit understanding of all parties, measures must be taken against Iran at the same time to contain Iran and force it to abandon nuclear research.

The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons is a consensus among everyone.

It is a tacit understanding among all parties that countries other than the five permanent members are not allowed to possess nuclear weapons.

If Iran develops nuclear weapons, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction.

Iran has nuclear weapons, so does Saudi Arabia also have nuclear weapons?
Saudi Arabia has nuclear weapons, so are they also asking to have nuclear weapons again?!
"Hiss, hiss, hiss~~~" Liu Tao looked at the intelligence and took a breath, "Is Khomeini crazy? What does he want to do?"

Liu Tao couldn't understand it at all. Has Yi gone crazy because he had lived too comfortably in the past few years?

At the same time, there was a sense of anger, as if someone had been slapped in the face.

When the Iranian nuclear issue was resolved, all parties put in a lot of effort and mediate, which eventually led to a compromise and the signing of the document.

Now, he can drive away the IAEA staff as he wishes and start the equipment as he wishes.

Isn't this a slap in the face of the kind-hearted people in the first place?

Sure enough, the US soon convened an emergency meeting at the United Nations and put the Iranian nuclear issue on the table.

what to do! ?

Let’s serve it cold!
The meeting passed a resolution requiring Iran to abide by the agreement and gave a deadline.

This is equivalent to giving Iran an ultimatum!

Iran took a very tough stance and rejected the ultimatum, saying that it was using nuclear technology for peaceful purposes and that it had the right to develop nuclear technology.

The deadline has passed.

At a U.S. air base in Europe, two B2 bombers took off and disappeared into the night.

The two B2 bombers have an important mission: they will carry out bombing missions against Iran's nuclear power plants and uranium processing facilities.

The B2 bomber, which has stealth capabilities, is a strategic weapon of the United States.

Originally, the B2 bomber was not deployed in Europe. This time it was specially transferred from the United States to a European air force base. The transfer was very low-key and was not reported in the news.

The B2 bomber flew across the Mediterranean Sea and entered Syria and Iraq without attracting the attention of radars in countries along the way, and entered Iraq.

The two B2 bombers separated and headed towards the target.

They had been told long ago that they didn't have to worry about radars from other countries along the way, and no country would send its air force to intercept them.

As for the nuclear power plants, nuclear research centers and uranium processing facilities, they have already been clearly marked.

In order to better perform the mission, they all carry guided weapons to ensure the destruction of the target.

None of the radar stations in Iran detected anything, as if they had suddenly become blind and deaf.

One of the B2 bombers was searching for a target, and the crew pressed the weapon hub, and two guided air-to-ground missiles flew towards the nuclear reactor.

After the two missiles separated from the B2 bomber, they drew a graceful arc in the air and flew towards the target below.

The B2 bomber then launched an attack on the turbine plant in front.

The nuclear reactor only provides heat, transfers the heat to water, turns it into high-pressure steam, and then drives the turbine to rotate, driving the generator to generate electricity or output power.

At this time, the nuclear reactor exploded. With accurate coordinates and precision-guided missiles, it hit the target accurately.

Two more precision-guided missiles hit the steam turbine plant.

It can be said that after suffering such a fatal blow and being subject to various restrictions, it is impossible for Iran to repair the nuclear reactor and turbine units. This nuclear power plant is considered to be useless.

As for whether there would be a nuclear leak, it was not something they considered at all.

Because according to intelligence, Iran has obtained limited nuclear ore, and the amount extracted that can be used as nuclear fuel is also limited. Even if there is a nuclear leak, it will not be too serious.

That night, Iran's nuclear power plant, nuclear research center, and uranium processing facilities were bombed. The United States held a press conference and announced that two US B2 bombers took off from Europe and carried out the bombing mission, destroying Iran's nuclear power plant, nuclear research center, and uranium processing facilities.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar, shocked by the United States' "surgical" bombing.

Take off from Europe, fly such a long distance, and then destroy Iran's strategic targets.

The Americans can actually do this to such an extent. Does that mean that the US B2 bomber can drop bombs on people's heads while they are sleeping without anyone noticing?

All of a sudden, many countries that had once looked down on the United States were awakened.

Only then did they realize that their country had no right to look down on the United States. America's skinny camel is bigger than a horse and can easily crush them to death.

There are gods fighting, why do you want to join in the fun?

When the Iranian leadership received the news, they were furious.

You know, these are the barriers for Iran to carry out nuclear research. Now they have been blown up, which means that it is impossible for Iran to develop nuclear weapons.

Why is Iran unwilling to give up the development of nuclear weapons? Isn't it because Iran is unwilling to be a pawn and unwilling to be served on the table by the Americans?

Iran has always had an ambition, which is to possess nuclear weapons. As long as it possesses nuclear weapons, the hegemony of the Persian Gulf will belong to Iran. To gain hegemony over the Persian Gulf, the whole world will have to look to Iran for support. Iran can then become a player on the world chessboard, rather than a pawn.

Iran has never given up on regional hegemony.

One of the important reasons why the relationship between the United States and Iran has been unable to normalize is that Iran has set very high conditions, and the United States, based on its own interests, is simply unable to agree to Iran's conditions.

Now, two US B2 bombers, without being detected by radar, destroyed Iran’s nuclear power plant, nuclear research center and uranium processing facilities.

At the same time, the Iranian side also had to think of a terrible scenario, that is, the United States used B2 bombers to drop bombs on their heads while they were sleeping, and they would not even know how they died.

Although the Iranian leadership thought of this terrible possibility, its measures were very tough. It raised the flag to mourn, established that day as a disaster day, and claimed to retaliate against the United States. At the same time, Iran would not give in or give up its nuclear research.

The Americans pushed the UN Security Council to pass a resolution imposing sanctions on Iran in the two key areas of energy and finance.

In one fell swoop, the Iranian central bank was cut off from the global financial system.

In addition, the US Treasury Department also launched unilateral sanctions against Iran, expanding the scope of sanctions from finance to trade, energy, personnel and other fields.

Faced with this whole set of combined punches, the Iranian side was dizzy.

But Yifang gritted his teeth and persisted, unwilling to give in.

Hong Kong.

Having just seen off the Iranian special representative, Liu Tao shook his head.

To be honest, Iran has lost its mind. It insists on restarting nuclear weapons research. Isn't this a big taboo?

Naturally, there will be a price to pay for stirring up a hornet's nest.

Everyone has been slapped in the face. If there are no sanctions, then their face has been slapped in vain. How can they survive in the society in the future? Do other small countries also want to slap them in the face?

We are all adults. If we have done something wrong, we must accept the punishment and stand at attention when being beaten.

It’s just the beginning now and the Iranian side wants to resolve it privately. How is that possible?

Where did this go!

To be honest, the five permanent members have conditional prerequisites for other countries to possess nuclear weapons.

First, it must be a regional power, secondly, it must have strong military strength, and thirdly, it must be able to independently develop nuclear energy, develop nuclear weapons, and withstand external military attacks and sanctions. As long as it can withstand this for ten years, it will be qualified to possess nuclear weapons.

The Iranian side had only reached the third step and could not withstand the military attack. They were all destroyed in an instant.

As it is, it is certainly not qualified to possess nuclear weapons.

At present, Iran is actively assisting the Kurds. This move is undoubtedly disruptive, but Iran's support for the Kurds has caused headaches for Türkiye.

As for the possible threat from Iran to oil tankers and cargo ships in the Persian Gulf, not to mention that the Arab coalition navy will provide escort, it is not difficult for everyone to carry out escort operations there.

If it really comes to that, Iran will definitely be the one to suffer.

If the gun goes off accidentally, the Iranian side will be in trouble.

Everyone has reached a consensus on this matter.

There is even a consensus on some of the US actions in North Africa, which can be considered as concessions to the Americans.

Iran's tens of billions of funds here have been frozen and can only be used in restricted areas, such as paying tuition fees, purchasing medicines and humanitarian food, etc. As for purchasing weapons and equipment, it is impossible.

Everyone's cooperation made the whole world a lot more peaceful.

Furthermore, the United States is also entering an election year, so everyone should act as a spectator and enjoy the show.

It will probably be around July or August when the official candidates of the two parties will be finalized, and then we will know who they are.

According to past tradition, Barack would definitely become the Democratic candidate, but now it seems confusing because many people are dissatisfied with Barack, and he has encountered several challengers. No one knows whether he can defeat other competitors. Even the American media, which leans towards the Democratic Party, dare not make a judgment.

In this situation, everyone is just watching the show and not taking drastic measures to avoid causing an emergency response from this military power.

Barack has been busy visiting European countries recently, hoping to win votes. After all, there are many Europeans in the United States, which will influence the American vote.

Barack also has ambitions for re-election. After all, it would be too embarrassing and bad for his reputation if he only served one term.

Under the leadership of Merkel, Germany has developed rapidly and together with France is leading the entire European Union. Even the voice of Britain's withdrawal from the EU has been suppressed.

In fact, at this time, Germany truly became the leader of the European Union, whether in military, economic or political terms.

The only shortcoming is that Germany does not have nuclear weapons and has to rely on France in this regard.

If Bismarck and others could travel through time and space and see the achievements of Germany today, they would definitely cry bitterly. (End of this chapter)
