Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 71 The Unfair Race
The sudden "failure of the satellite" caused the British
As a high-tech and high-investment cutting-edge military equipment system, under the influence of technologies such as miniaturization of electronic equipment, system integration, modular design, etc., military satellite systems have long given up the development model that emphasizes a single function, and will increasingly focus on the same satellite or the same constellation, resulting in the satellite system becoming more and more complex, and it is not uncommon to have frequent minor failures.
.
It was not until the technicians who had the mouth and the blade divided the left and right to find out something strange.
In the two sets of image data sent back by the reconnaissance satellite system, a problem arises, that is, the resolution of reconnaissance photos targeting South Asia, especially in southern Pakistan, and southeastern Iran has been reduced by two orders of magnitude, which is to increase from centimeters to meters.
This is definitely not an ordinary failure.
There are many reasons for the reduction of the resolution of images captured by reconnaissance satellites. For optical reconnaissance satellites, it is possible that equipment resonance, backlight, lenses hit by space garbage, signal transmitter failure and other factors lead to problems with data sent back to the ground base, but this problem only occurs in a certain area. There are only two possible reasons: one is equipment resonance, and the other is interference. Because artificial satellites are all operating in elliptical orbits, different orbital heights, and the flight speed is different. The near-low orbit is not completely vacuumed. In addition, the system on the satellite may cause regular vibrations, and the resonance phenomenon will definitely occur at two points that are corresponding to slightly circular orbits.
The technician immediately looked up the photo on another point.
As a result, he told him that Wei Yan was not affected by resonance, but was disturbed. The address of this site has been changed to: I will be relieved and please log in to read it if you delete it!
It has to be admitted that the defeated intelligence analyst is very rigorous. Although you can think of the reconnaissance satellites with your eyes closed, the intelligence analyst did not report it before obtaining the evidence.
In other words, Stark did not grasp this situation until around 4 o'clock.
The Marine, who had been following Duqiwei for many years, immediately ordered the old to adjust the working orbits of several satellites and figure out the situation in South Asia as soon as possible. He did not forget the most important thing, that is, contact Duqiwei.
Duchiwei was immediately shocked when he received the message from Stark.
This is definitely not good news. Because I don’t understand technology, the first thing Duqiwei thinks about is that the US military satellite system was attacked. Although the site occurred in South Asia, and according to the data provided, the center of the disturbed area is in southeastern Iran, so there is reason to believe that this incident is closely related to Iran, but Duqiwei has no reason to believe that as an ordinary country, Iran has the ability to deal with the US reconnaissance satellite. Mu Yong doubted that the Republic must be the one who started behind the scenes. More importantly, the war is about to break out, and the Republic focuses on dealing with the US reconnaissance satellites over South Asia, which is definitely related to Pei Chengyi. In other words, Pei Chengyi has already started to take action.
Making a judgment does not mean finding a match
Standing from Du Qiwei's standpoint, even if he knew that Pei Chengyi was about to punch, he didn't know how to deal with it.
The reason is very simple. He didn't know which direction Pei Chengyi would punch.
Like intelligence analysts, although Duqiwei had 10,000 reasons to believe that Pei Chengyi would concentrate his efforts to attack the Turkish army in the Zagros Mountains and strive to use air strikes to disrupt the combat effectiveness and will to resist the Turkish army before the ground forces arrived, but without conclusive evidence, Duqiwei still dared not make up.
It can be said that this kind of evidence-oriented idea has long penetrated into Duchwi's bone marrow.
You should know that on the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly, and sometimes judgments must be made without evidence.
While waiting for more accurate news, Duqiwei personally called Stark to ask for details. After learning that the reconnaissance satellites had just failed over South Asia and were working properly in other areas, Duqiwei immediately realized that this was a signal that the war was about to break out.
After hanging up the phone, Du Qiwei warned the Turkish army again.
Although the Turkish army has entered a state of combat readiness according to the warning issued by Duqiwei more than three hours ago, the significance of Duqiwei's warning is not to warn the Turkish army, but to shirk responsibility for the upcoming strike.
In the hours before this, Duchiwei had been paying attention to the Turkish army's actions.
To be precise, the US-Turkey Alliance Command is paying attention to the combat readiness of the Turkish army. The staff in charge of this matter will report the situation to Duqiwei every half hour. Although Duqiwei does not expect the Turkish army to perform astonishingly, the Turkish army's condition still makes him miserable.
It was not until 3 o'clock that the front line troops of the Turkish army entered the position.
In fact, most of the Turkish military combat troops were not deployed. According to the messages sent by Duqiwei to the liaison officers of various battalions-level units of the Turkish military, most of the Turkish military only entered a symbolic state of combat readiness and did not strictly prepare for sudden strikes in accordance with the combat readiness requirements. Not to mention anything else, more than half of the Turkish military battalion-level troops remained in the camp after 4 o'clock and did not enter the defensive position as required. What made the US military liaison officer even more angry was that after they proposed the request that they should enter the position as soon as possible, the Turkish military commander not only did not adopt it, but also refused on the grounds that Turkish military officers could not go to the battlefield hungry and respect the rights of Turkish soldiers.
In general, most of the Turkish soldiers did not take war seriously at all.
Of course, there is nothing to blame for this. In the year of the Chinese army's negligence in the grassroots troops and the military's figures, Duqiwei repeatedly warned the Turkish senior leaders. Don't have any illusions about war. As long as the Republic makes a war decision, it can defeat the Turkish army with the storm of wind and fallen leaves. However, from the Prime Minister to the Chief of General Staff, no one in the Turkish senior leaders believed it. Some even believed that Duqiwei was alarmist, just to make the Turkish army hand over all command so that the Turkish army could become the pioneer of the US military's attack on Iraq and Iran.
The reason why the Turkish top leaders are careless is not complicated, that is, the enemy is still thousands of miles away.
Although the Republic's authorities were actively preparing for the war, the Republic's military deployment was not so active and decisive when Duchwi warned repeatedly. By the night of the day, the Republic's Army combat troops closest to Turkey were still in the desert in western Iraq, while the Republic's Navy fleet closest to Turkey was still in the Persian Gulf, and the Republic's Air Force combat troops were far away in Pakistan.
In the eyes of the Turkish senior executives, this is definitely not an offensive deployment against Turkey.
In order to reassure the Prime Minister, the Chief of Staff of Turkey not only made a personal guarantee. He also made an analysis that the Republic wanted to start the engine and had to concentrate the aviation force first. The three aircraft carrier battle groups operating in the Gulf could not provide sufficient air support to the ground forces. If the Republic's ground forces launched an attack without air support and air cover, not only would they not want to break through the defense line set in the southeast mountainous area, but would also be hit by the Turkish Air Force head-on. Therefore, the Chief of Staff of the Turkish Army concluded that as long as the Republic did not deploy air forces to the front line, the war would not break out.
Affected by this, the Turkish Prime Minister naturally would not take Duchwie's words to heart.
After receiving Duchiwei's warning again, the Turkish authorities still did not take it seriously. In their opinion, the enemy was still thousands of kilometers away, and there was no need to worry about local security.
Since the Turkish army did not take Du Qiwei seriously, Du Qiwei naturally would not take the Turkish army seriously.
While waiting for further news, Duchiwei began to consider a very critical and important thing, namely whether to send the vanguards of the two brigades to southeastern Türkiye.
It can be said that these two brigades from European Legion played a very critical self-deprecating role in the early battles. The address of this site has been changed to: Exorcist the heart, please log in to read it if you delete it!
If there is no choice but to use the US military to block the gun hole, then Duchiwei will have to give up his roundabout offensive operations in northern Syria, focus on the southern battlefield, concentrate his troops from the Golan Heights to Damascus, and fight a huge war of attrition with the Republic's Army in the vast desert of Syria.
This is also what Duqiwei has been trying to avoid. It is not that the US military cannot afford the war of attrition, but that the United States cannot afford the war of attrition. Although many American intelligence agencies have provided sufficiently accurate intelligence. That is, the current republic is no longer the republic that was more powerful than the sharp decline in the population of young and middle-aged people. The country's war is not as capable as before. It is absolutely impossible to exchange the lives of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers for a tragic victory like the Peninsula War. However, Duqiwei has more reason to believe that under the influence of national culture and other factors, the United States will definitely retreat before the Republic.
If you cannot fight a war of attrition, you must concentrate your superior forces.
The problem is that the Turkish army cannot count on it, and the situation will not be much better.
When thinking about this question, Du Qiwei must stand on Pei Chengyi's side and consider it.
.
Pei Chengyi must be aware of the situation of the Turkish army and knows that the Turkish army is a weakness and a breakthrough. Although Pei Chengyi has no reason to invest heavy troops in the Zagros Mountains, and should not even regard Turkey as a key target of attack, otherwise he would not place the first ground force in the desert next to Syria, Du Qiwei has reason to believe that Pei Chengyi will open the breakthrough of the entire war in Turkey and use Türkiye to drag down his opponents.
Change the pound and position, Duqiwei will do the same.
To be precise, when the Turkish army had no hope, Pei Chengyi only needed to invest a thug in the north to achieve good results. Even if Pei Chengyi did not have enough troops, he would make a fuss on the troops. For example, let the most fierce first battle go to the north alone, send the ninth combat unit and the second combat unit to Syria, and let the tenth combat unit that had not yet reached the war zone be substitute. In this case, it is almost impossible for the Turkish army to block the sharp attack of the first combat unit. Even if it does not collapse, it will be beaten to pieces.
By this time, if Du Qiwei still fails to do anything, Pei Chengyi will take the absolute initiative.
Duqiwei hardly dared to think about what would happen next.
You should know that as a war expert who killed South Korea and defeated India, Pei Chengyi would definitely not be ruthless to the Turkish authorities. Because the head of state of the Republic has obtained the war authorization, and the Republic has no relevant laws to restrict the army's combat operations on the battlefield, so if conditions permit, that is, there will be no greater price for war. Pei Chengyi will definitely do it to the end and march directly into Ankara, turning Turkey into the second South Korea, or the second India.
In the end, it was already a blessing that Turkey was able to become the second India. The Republic’s authorities dealt with Turkey by solving the Kurdish issue. Therefore, after overthrowing the Turkish regime, the Republic’s authorities would definitely transfer all the nearby Kurds to Turkey, causing Turkey to fall into war and even take this opportunity to dismember Turkey. Back then, in order to dominate the huge market of 100 million people, the Republic did not dismember India, which did not dismember a country with only tens of millions of people.
To this point, even if the battle in the south is extremely beneficial to the United States, that is, the US military overthrew the Syrian regime or even overthrew the Iraq regime, it was not the United States that won.
In other words, the Turkish regime must not be ruined.
In order to achieve this, we have to find a way to plug the loopholes in the southeast direction of Turkey. We have to invest in the first two brigades to reach the war zone, which is equivalent to vetoing the previous combat deployment.

There is no doubt that this is a very painful choice for Duchway.
No matter who it is, you will hesitate when choosing this.
Just after the point blade segment, Stark sent the exact message. The reconnaissance satellite was indeed disturbed. Moreover, the source of interference should be in a certain area in the southern part of the Lut Desert in eastern Iran. It will not exceed the thugs by four kilometers from Pakistan and the Gwadar Port. Affected by the interference, the US reconnaissance satellites cannot timely grasp the details of the approximately Blade military base in southern Pakistan and southeastern Iran, including the Republic's largest air station in South Asia and about an old air base that can deploy tactical aviation forces.
The conclusion given is very direct. Relying on this old and multi-pound base, we can deploy tactical fighter jets above that can be dissuaded from striking.
Because time is tight, no more detailed analysis results were given, such as when the first round of bombing could start as soon as possible, but Stark did not ignore this matter. According to him, interference should have begun before the verbal point. If the Republic Air Force had completed the deployment in advance, the bombs dropped by the first batch of tactical fighters would fall before judging. Even if the Republic Air Force did not make tactical deployment in advance, it would only start after the interference began. The Strategic Air Force, or the Ministry of Education,
The tactical aviation corps deployed in the country shall be responsible for the first round of strike missions. The tanker deployed on the front line shall be supported. The first round of bombing will begin at 7 o'clock. Because several days before this, the Republican Air Force took advantage of the opportunity of joint exercises with Iraq to adjust the support aviation corps deployed in the South Asian theater, and most transport aircraft can be converted into tankers, so there is reason to believe that Pei Chengyi will use the latter tactic, namely, use combat aircraft deployed in the country to perform the initial strike mission.
In fact, Stark's judgment was soon proven, because there was less than half an hour before 6 o'clock.
To Duchwife, he said that in this half hour, many things can be done, such as Blücher and Blücher, the most ambitious and talented general in the US military since Duchwife.
In any case, Duchwie cannot ignore one thing, that is, it is that the person who proposed to deploy two brigades to Turkey in advance was Lieutenant General Blücher. When Blücher made this suggestion, Duchwie also focused on Israel, believing that fighting against the Golan Heights was crucial. Although Duchwie's judgment now seems to be correct, Blücher was able to put forward completely different ideas and insist on his own opinions, which is already very good. More importantly, it was Blücher's insistence that Duchwie decided to send two army brigades to Turkey before sending the Marine Corps. Because Greece refused to provide convenience for the US military to Turkey, the US military could only go by sea.
That's true. As early as the beginning of the throne, when the Kurdish problem intensified, Duchwit gave Blücher a vaccination. When necessary, the commander of the European Legion had to put down his airs and commanded two army brigades as the former line commander. Because the thug, the Armored Division and the 3rd Infantry Division were both troops under Blücher, and they were troops he carried out reform pilot projects. So the Army Lieutenant General did not reject Duchwit's request, but happily agreed. In fact, Blücher proposed to send two army brigades to Turkey in the hope of performing opportunities in this war and achieve greater achievements.
The call took only an old minute, and Duchiwei only issued one order to prepare for battle.
For Duchwie, the only thing he could expect was that General Blücher's Ange was not in vain and could achieve results on the battlefield. To put it bluntly, two army brigades could arrive in southeastern Turkey before the First Combat Force of the Republic Army and set up defense lines behind the Turkish army.
Fortunately, the situation is more beneficial to the US military. Because the US military deployed in Iskendron is only a few kilometers away from Hakkari and less than a thousand miles away, while the first combat unit deployed in Balochistan Province in Pakistan has thugs like a thousand meters away from Hakkari, with a distance of more than four thousand meters. Although the assault ability of this ground force commanded by the Republic's number one general is unparalleled, there is no reason to run ahead of the US military in this unfair race.
Duqiwei only needs to worry about one problem, that is, whether Pei Chengyi will target the US military and blow up all the bridges from Iskendren to Hakari. This is why when issuing an order to Blüchel, Duqiwei not only requires that he should take as many engineering bridges as possible, but also clearly requires that he must reach Hakari within hours and deploy a defense line. In order to relieve Blüchel's pressure, Duqiwei ensures that he can provide him with comprehensive theater information within the time of divination.
This is indeed an unfair race.
