Chapter 738 Persian Changes
Tehran.
"His Excellency the President, the plan of Allah's Wrath is completed and is now ready," Dr. Mohamed Taki Faso, chief nuclear science expert in Persia, reported excitedly to President Hashmi. "As long as the President gives his order, we can conduct the first nuclear explosion test at any time."
In order to achieve this achievement today, the Persians have been pursuing it for decades and have put in the hard work of countless people. However, in the face of this ultimate weapon of mankind, President Hashmi hesitated a little.
The timing of the successful study of this ultimate weapon is too subtle. The US military has launched aerial strike operation in Persia for months in the name of suspected weapons of mass destruction. Now, because the Americans cannot provide conclusive evidence, the Persians can also obtain extensive support in the Islamic world and the United Nations, and can obtain a steady stream of aid and weapons provided by China from the Islamic world.
Although the Persians are still at a disadvantage in the air competition with the US military, with a series of weapons provided by the Chinese, the Persians can at least strive to maintain a relatively balanced military balance. Moreover, General Rajay's latest report said that the Chinese have now developed two new powerful fighter jets for sale to the outside world, and the new generation of JF-10P fighter jets originally agreed in the sales agreement will be supplied soon.
According to the detailed report of Major General Jarad who participated in the on-site test flight, General Rajay believes that if these two new fighter jets are obtained, the history of the US military raging over Persian territory will be gone forever. As long as there are more than 4 squadrons, the Persian Air Force will pay a heavy price with these two new fighter jets.
Although General Rajay is not sure when China will truly supply this new fighter jet, news from the Chinese General Staff Department said that this time will not be too long. According to the information that General Rajay asked in private, China will take action within about March to May.
Under such an international situation, President Hashmi certainly did not dare to rashly implement nuclear tests, which led to drastic changes in international public opinion, which led to international aid, especially China's arms sales.
"His Excellency President," said Bagherry, Secretary of State, who has always opposed the current nuclear test, seeing President Hashmi's hesitation and could not help but speak again, "The current international environment is very unfavorable to the implementation of nuclear tests. Although we are passively beaten, we can win the support of widespread international public opinion. Nuclear tests will not make us improve in the military at all. On the contrary, we may be hit harder by the US military because of nuclear tests."
"After all, the US military has not dispatched ground forces yet. If we successfully conduct nuclear tests, the US military will have a strong excuse to dispatch ground forces to launch a new round of attacks on us. With our current military strength, it will be difficult to face the US military's joint air and ground attacks at the same time. Although our personnel can be evacuated to the mountains for guerrilla warfare, large military facilities, especially the nuclear industrial facilities we have finally built, cannot be transferred, and it is difficult to escape the attacks of the US military."
President Hashmi knew that Bagherry was very reasonable, but now he is also facing huge pressure from the people in the country. The Tabas air battle has boosted the morale of the people for a while. However, as Lieutenant General Walker changed his strategy, each new air attack has concentrated a large-scale air cluster to cover the air early warning aircraft to act together, so that the Persians can no longer find a suitable opportunity to achieve greater results. The main force of the Persian Air Force can only avoid fighting. Over time, war-weariness will naturally arise among the people.
Although nuclear tests cannot achieve direct results, they can greatly inspire people's sense of pride and security. For President Hashmi, it is a perfect choice to calm the hearts of the people in the country.
"Doctor, let's wait a little longer about nuclear testing." But after weighing the domestic and international situation for a long time, Hashmi said painfully to Dr. Takki Faso, who looked full of anticipation. "When we receive the new fighter jets ordered from the Chinese and gain a foothold, we will consider this matter."
However, President Hashmi did not expect that this top-secret plan leaked the news, causing the agents of the CIA to smell it.
Washington.
"Amy, based on the reliable intelligence obtained by the CIA, the Persians have successfully developed at least one weapon-level nuclear weapon, which is on the eve of a nuclear test," said the US security adviser Brandt Kata, with the latest intelligence obtained from the CIA, and at the emergency meeting, he recommended, "We must take decisive action to destroy the Persians' nuclear facilities and suspend the Persians' process of obtaining nuclear weapons, otherwise the situation in the Persian Gulf may lose control."
Even if the Persians have real nuclear weapons, even the most primitive nuclear weapons, it is a huge trouble and threat to the US military, because the Persians have an independent missile research and development and production system and an air force that has not been completely destroyed. As long as they improve the manufacturing and detonation technology of nuclear weapons, it is not too difficult to increase the technical difficulties of nuclear weapons deployment methods.
Therefore, for the US military, the most urgent task now is to destroy the Persians before they complete the final test of their nuclear weapons and completely destroy their nuclear facilities.
Seeing the latest Persian nuclear weapons progress reported by the CIA, US President Amy O'Leary's face was also very bad. It has been several months since Lieutenant General Walker's plan to use air strikes to promote the division of Persians. Although there have been some gratifying changes among the Persians now, the Persian military is still solid and there is no sign of division.
This means that it will take longer for Lieutenant General Walker to promote change to achieve results by fighting. If there is no sudden incident of nuclear weapons, Lieutenant General Walker is understandable. After all, it is just an air strike method that can significantly reduce US casualties and complete the changes in the Persian political situation with minimal personnel losses.
"Amy, Brandt is right. We must dispatch ground troops as soon as possible to solve this Persian nuclear base in one fell swoop," Defense Secretary Carter Karen also agreed with Brandt Kata's suggestion that although the US military will face greater losses when dispatching ground troops at this time, compared with the destruction of Persian nuclear weapons, Karen thinks this price is worth it.
"But our ground forces are not ready yet, and the Persian air defense system has not been destroyed, and now the hasty ground attack is launched, which is too great for the ground forces," General Sham Grant, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said with some concern. "And the forces we gather around the Persians are not enough to form an overwhelming advantage. The total strength of the ground forces at the Iraqi base and Afghan base is about 70,000. Compared with the Persians' well-preserved army, this force is still relatively weak."
"If the Persian nuclear test explosion is successful, they will be more threatening to our ground forces," Brandt Kata interrupted General Grant without hesitation, "and our current goal is not to destroy the Persian ground forces, but to destroy their nuclear facilities. Since we all think that the ground forces are not ready for ground warfare, the Persians must have thought so, so if we send troops now and attack the Persians' nuclear base, the Persians would never have thought that under such unexpected circumstances, our ground forces will be able to complete the mission smoothly."
"After all, the main elite of the Persians are now concentrated near Tehran, and their defensive power on the western front is particularly weak. We use the western offensive to attract their attention and place the main attack in the east. While launching attacks on the east and west lines, we dispatch our elite airborne forces to directly destroy the Persian nuclear base, and then cooperate with the eastern ground forces to break through the Persians' defensive power to retreat."
Although General Grant reserved the suggestion of Kata, he had to admit that Kata's suggestion was still very feasible. Judging from the existing combat capabilities of the US military, troops were sent from Iraq and Afghanistan at the same time to attack the Persian nuclear base near Tabas. This line was not a region where Persians gathered heavily. By surprise, the US military was fully capable of opening a channel to the hinterland of the Persian plateau.
If the US military with air superiority is fully deployed to the air force in the Gulf and Afghanistan, the Persians have no ability to compete. In this case, the 101 Assault Division with global mobility can quickly deploy airborne operations near the Persian nuclear base, occupy and destroy the Persian nuclear base at lightning speed, and then retreat along the channels opened by the US military in Iraq or Afghanistan. From a tactical point of view, this plan is almost flawless.
"Sham, we cannot tolerate Persians possessing nuclear weapons." Seeing that General Grant had no objection to Kata's plan, President O'Leary made up his mind, "In 24 hours, I will see the military's complete combat plan, and before that, I hope our 101 Air Assault Division can move to the front line of combat to prepare for combat."
The movements of the US military in the Persian Gulf were soon transmitted to the General Staff through reconnaissance satellites and shadow drones.
Just as the People's Liberation Army was preparing to inform the Persian military of the US military about the abnormal movement, the nails buried inside the US CIA sent back the Persian nuclear weapons successfully researched and the top-secret information about nuclear tests was about to be conducted. It was not a good thing for our country to think that Persians possessing nuclear weapons.
After carefully studying the military forces gathered around Persia, especially after detecting the abnormal movements of the US military's 101 air assault division from military satellite reconnaissance, the General Secretary analyzed that the US military's operation was most likely aimed at the Persian nuclear base, rather than completely destroying the Persian ground forces, which dispelled the idea of warning the Persians.
For the PLA, it is in China's interests to use the US military to eliminate the Persian nuclear power, and can make the Persians more dependent on the PLA.
