USSR 1991

To overthrow all the anti-American and pro-Soviet regimes in the Arab world in the Middle East, and then establish a pro-Western democratic world through the proxies they fostered, this huge conspiracy has been conceived by the United States for a long time. , CIA Director Woolsey needs a new assassination operation.

"The Kurds in northern Iraq are ready to announce anti-government actions any time there is a disagreement in Baghdad." Perry stirred the sugar in his coffee, then raised his head and asked Director Woolsey, "But now those The officers were all executed, but Saddam Hussein is still sitting in his ruling seat safe and sound, what should we do? As long as there is no chaos in Baghdad, Saddam can easily suppress the Kurds."

"We have some pawns in our hands. Now we need to create an opportunity for them. If you don't mind the CIA's misappropriation of the Air Force's armed forces, I think there is a bold plan that can be implemented." Woolsey pondered for a while before speaking slowly.

Finally talking about the topic Perry was interested in, he raised his head and asked, "What plan?"

"Using the cover of an air strike, let's assassinate Saddam with our internal pawns."

Chapter 336 Action Begins

Saddam's regime in 1995 has begun to show a precarious state. After years of war and suppression by the coalition forces, as well as political and military sanctions by the United States and NATO, Saddam's accumulated wealth has been squandered.The Soviet Union's further squeeze on Iraq's arms sales between 1992 and 1993, and Yanayev's obsession with installing an advisory group inside Iraq at the last moment, can at least explain one thing. Damm was considered a sacrificial child.

It is not that there are no people in Moscow who want to continue to increase support for Saddam, but they are blocked by Yanayev again.For the Soviet Union, supporting Saddam now is tantamount to supporting Syngman Rhee before the Korean War, using foreign exchange for a regime that is doomed to lose. It is better to think about how to disrupt the strategic plan of the United States in the Middle East.It's very worrying and terrible now, because Yanayev can't figure out what method the United States will use to break through the chaos in the Middle East.

"Will the Americans do it themselves, launch a battle similar to the Gulf War, or use agents to subvert the regimes of various countries in the Middle East? This is a question." Yanayev rubbed his drowsy eyes. For a few days, the KGB's intelligence bureau did not stop intelligence collection. All important information was presented to Yanayev's desk. Whenever he finished processing a batch of documents, he began to analyze the movements of the Americans in the Middle East.

"The United States has recently stepped up its military exercises with Saudi Arabia. The lineup is much larger than before. It looks like it is preparing to go to war with Saddam or show off its force in the Middle East. At the same time, the Kurdish region has also begun to increase. Riots are happening more and more frequently, and this group of nationalists who are trying to establish a Kurdish state seems to have made a dirty deal with the United States recently. The KGB Foreign Intelligence Service is trying to extract some favorable information from the PKK , so that we can also mentally prepare for the turmoil that may occur next.”

The more Yanayev analyzed, the more frightened Yazov became. He stood up and walked to the map, and circled several areas on it with a pen. "We can see that almost all countries in turmoil are related to the The Soviet Union has a regime with close diplomatic relations. Is the strategic deployment of the Americans in the Middle East aimed at us?"

"Aiming at the Soviet Union? This is too much for us." Yanayev sneered, "He just wants the Soviet Union to cheat us by the way when the international politics is at a disadvantage. Is it possible that at the time of the United Nations meeting? Approving NATO's proposal to bomb Iraq will they stop because we voted no? No, the US will never do it, and if the USSR and China team up against the NATO bloc, there is still a chance. It's just a pity that our neighbor to the south doesn't Why are you so keen on Middle East issues, but you can't blame them, after all, the scope of their interests has not expanded to this extent."

"So the Middle East issue is a silent contest between us and the United States. If it were 20 years ago, we would have dared to send troops directly to Iraq to fight hand-to-hand with the US coalition forces, but now we have not even fully resolved our own problems." Thinking of this, Yanayev smiled wryly and shook his head. He threw his pen on the table and slowly thought about the future of the Middle East.

It seems that the Arab Spring is already on the horizon. This is not a strategic mistake of the Soviet Union, but decades of high-handed policies and oligarchy rule in the Middle East, which have made the social and ethnic conflicts under the prosperity loom. The trend of eruption, and the United States just provided a match for the fuse of this giant powder keg.

"General Secretary Yanayev, then who is the United States targeting?" Yazov did not understand what Yanayev said.

"May I ask who is the only one who can make money in the war? It is the American multinational arms group company. Their weak economy has long been waiting for such a lucrative order. Then who is the first to make money after the war? Comrade Yazov is an oil interest group in the United States, once the countries in the Middle East become their pawns, it will be a nightmare for the Soviet Union's oil and gas exploration."

Think about increasing oil production when the Soviet Union's economy was in trouble, and driving the price to death, and no one can stop it at that time.Therefore, whether the Soviet Union intervenes or does not interfere, the outcome is the same.

"What if we sell arms to anti-American regimes and pro-Soviet regimes as well?" Yazov said suddenly. "In this case, we can also sell arms to the Middle East. If the Americans personally intervene in the war, they will be guerrillas." If it is through a proxy war, then the Soviet Union can also obtain a huge war military industry order, can't it?"

"Then Comrade Yazov, do you think that after the United States is strong, he will get along with the Soviet Union friendly? Don't forget that the current performance of the United States is based on the worsening American economy after the Gulf War. Once he becomes a real The suppression of the Soviet Union's economy and politics will be even worse than that of the real economy in the world."

"Now do you know why I have strengthened international economic and political exchanges with Asia, especially China? It is to cope with the re-formation of the climate in the United States and to deal with the strategic encirclement and attack on us."

"The key is to do everything possible to make the United States suffer a big loss in the inevitable chaos in the Middle East. We have been calculating that the other party may do it in Iraq, but Mario is not stupid enough. After the Gulf War, the most likely thing is a proxy war."

This is the conclusion Yanayev has drawn through a large amount of intelligence analysis. If it is a proxy war, it is not the kind of invasion of Afghanistan that provides arms to the guerrillas to pit teammates, but returns to the two countries. Hiding behind the sand table, the stage of fighting wits and courage may become a Pyrrhic victory in the end.Whether the United States paid a painful price to withdraw from the Middle East political situation or the Soviet Union won a painful price to win, the outcome is unknown.

The atmosphere of the conversation was deadlocked, Yanayev and Yazov didn't know how to continue the topic for a while, and when the two fell silent, the door of Yanayev's office suddenly rang.Before he could finish saying please come in, Kryuchkov came in with the latest information in a hurry.

"Large-scale riots broke out in northern Iraqi cities. The local rebel forces fought fiercely with Saddam's army on the streets. The rebel forces have almost occupied the rioting city now, and they still have heavy weapons supported by the CIA. .”

Yanayev took a deep breath, it was time to come back.

Yazov asked Kryuchkov, "You mean that there is a large-scale military riot in Iraq? Is this information accurate?"

"Of course it is accurate. This news will appear on Al Jazeera in a few hours." Kryuchkov said anxiously, and he put a stack of unorganized information on Yanayev's desktop .

"The riots came from the northern cities where the Kurds gather, as well as some small towns in the south. The most surprising thing is that the army only slowly arrived after the entire city was captured. It seems that the war was launched with the deliberate connivance of some government personnel .”

Yanayev's face was a little pale. This information almost overturned some of the conclusions he had drawn before. Yanayev bit his lip, looked at the cut-out paper on the table, and said suddenly, "So that's it, The pattern set by Mario is not only to launch a proxy war, but also NATO's joint forces will personally intervene. From the dual suppression of the civil opposition forces and the US military, Saddam is facing a pattern of internal and external troubles. Well, there are also big fish hidden in the army that have not surfaced, and it may not be possible to launch a coup when Saddam’s regime is unstable.”

"This move is really clever. I think in a few hours, the NATO bloc headed by the United States will vote on the UN Security Council."

Chapter 337 Assassination of Saddam

As Yanayev predicted, the U.N. resolution to strike Baghdad was passed after the Soviet Union voted against it and China abstained. It was the first U.S.-led effort since the 1991 Gulf War Offensive air strike missions.Although the Soviet Union protested that this act of the United States was a war of aggression that violated national sovereignty, the Americans, who were as domineering as ever, never cared about the feelings of others.

Yanayev is powerless to provide Saddam with air defense weapons. Even if he can withstand the first wave of US air strikes, what about the second and third waves after the arms embargo?In Iraq, which has no ability to produce its own missiles, after shooting out all the SAM missiles, he thought he could only watch NATO air strikes in a daze at a loss.

On a U.S. missile cruiser docked in the waters of the Persian Gulf, a Tomahawk cruise missile is rapidly rising into the air. Its target is Baghdad, the capital of Afghanistan. Unspeakable actions.

The same F117 fighter jet also quietly approached the sky over Baghdad. As the most advanced stealth bomber in the United States, it was used to carry out the guarantee plan B of the beheading operation-once the coup and assassination within the army failed, then the F117 stealth fighter It will not hesitate to carry out precise air strikes on the Iraqi presidential palace and bury Saddam in ruins.

The first Tomahawk missile landed on a large oil refinery in the Dora district in southern Baghdad. The dazzling flames caused by the missile explosion could even be seen in the neighborhood several kilometers away. The smoke also drifted away.With the landing of the first Tomahawk missile, the air defense warning of red alert resounded over Baghdad.Then a second bomb landed on Saddam's air defense base in an attempt to disable their air defenses.Two more landed on residential areas and government buildings in Iraq, causing heavy casualties among innocent civilians.

The residents were quickly evacuated to the air defense facilities, and the anti-aircraft artillery of the Iraqi air defense force also sounded, but in the face of the American Tomahawk cruise missiles, the hit rate of these anti-aircraft artillery can only rely on faith.

The moment the air defense siren sounded, Saddam's guard Sabah Mirza led a group of guards to escort Saddam away from the presidential palace that might be under attack.There are a total of three convoys waiting to leave at any time. These are the convoys set up by Saddam Hussein to deceive others. Even if the American fighter jets want to attack one of the convoys, they have to consider whether the vehicle is Saddam Hussein himself. .

The death squads loyal to Saddam in Baghdad are on standby at any time. Once the US army invades Baghdad or the rebels in the city want to assassinate Saddam, they will use the most severe means to suppress it.

Under the protection of a group of guards, Saddam retreated to the designated location, but when he walked to the underground parking lot, Saddam gradually calmed down and suddenly realized a problem, it was too quiet.It seemed too quiet along the way, there were no other guards, and there were no other guards, only the group of guards brought by Mirza.

"Wait." Saddam stopped, and the other guards followed his footsteps and stopped, turning their heads to look at their president.

"What's the matter, President Saddam, we are almost at the evacuation point." Mirza turned his head with some dissatisfaction, and the moment he looked into Saddam's eyes, he quietly put his finger on the trigger of the rifle.

"You are not here to escort the team I left, are you? Or you are someone else's team, isn't it? Why didn't I see other soldiers all the way here, presumably they were supported by you for various reasons It's open. If I'm not mistaken, the people standing here are all people who want my life."

Mirza smiled suddenly. He looked at Saddam who was already sweating on his forehead, pulled out a pistol from his waist and aimed it at his head, "President, you are indeed very smart, even a little too smart, do you think I I don’t know if you just want to stall for time to ask for help? Don’t think about it, no one here will know whether you are dead or alive.”

"Are you because of your brother, Colonel Mirza? One of the prisoners who was executed in the attempted coup?" Saddam sneered, "If I knew this, I should not have given you a chance, Mirza. You are too Let me down, when you reported on your brother loyally, I thought it was out of loyalty to the leader, but I didn't expect that it was just to keep the fire of revenge."

"Shut up!" Mirza yelled. He stepped forward and pointed the gun at Saddam's head. "Do you really think I'm doing it for my brother? I'm doing it for the future of this country. Look at you ruling What does Iraq look like now? The people are living in dire straits, dictatorship, and the people can't see the future and hope in you. In their eyes, you are a damn devil! They have no democracy and freedom, and they will naturally stand up against you. The rule of the Sayin family! Although the voice of resistance is weak, it will spread to the whole of Iraq one day!"

"Do you think Iraq will be better under your joint council with democracy and freedom?" Saddam put his forehead on the gun, "Stop joking, Sunni, Shiite, Kurdish People, Azerbaijanis, Armenians, all conflicting nations calm down and sit down to form a united country? Let me tell you, without a highly centralized central government, the only result of the so-called free federal rule is that Iraq is torn apart, and then the war continues! Is this the democratic, prosperous and strong country you want to see? Without a stable environment, democratic politics cannot be born.”

Saddam stared at Mirza coldly, making the latter flustered, "Tell me, is this the democracy you want to see? Is this the freedom you want to see? Without me, Iraq is nothing." , not to mention becoming one of the great powers in the Middle East.”

"I created a great country with my own hands, but you villains who favor the West are always trying to destroy it. Now you finally have a chance to do it. But after killing me, you really think you have the ability to manage this country well Is it?" When Saddam said this, Mirza's hands were already shaking.The opponent completely suppressed him in terms of aura, even if he stood on the side of absolute advantage, he felt powerless and exhausted.

"By the way, let me tell you a little secret. Do you really think it is so easy to assassinate me? The Mossad and the CIA have taken more actions than you in the past ten years, and now the army that is really loyal to me is heading this way Hurry up, you probably have five, four, three, two, one left to escape." Saddam finished the last zero calmly.Mirza who was standing in front of him was directly shot through the head.

Saddam's death squads rushed over and surrounded the remaining rebel guards. He turned his head and said to the rest of the guards who were at a loss, "Now do you choose to surrender or kill on the spot? If any of you want to tell the mastermind behind the scenes , I can spare him and his family."

In the CIA's office, CIA Director Woolsey, who monitored the operation throughout the entire process, immediately issued a secret order to bomb Saddam's presidential palace after discovering that the operation had failed.Letting Saddam die in the ruins is more reassuring than letting him escape from the presidential palace. The CIA will never let go of the opportunity to assassinate Saddam, especially if he is still a threat to the security of the United States. A Middle Eastern sword bearer.

After receiving the order, the pilot of the F117 fighter jet dropped a precision-guided bomb directly at Saddam's presidential palace in an attempt to wipe the entire presidential palace from the center of Baghdad.

Three bombs were quietly falling in the direction of the Presidential Palace, but the chaotic Baghdad air defense forces hadn't noticed that the three death bombs were approaching the sky above the Presidential Palace, and they were about to kill Saddam Hussein from the sky. Erase the world.

Chapter 338 Resisting the Invaders

The F117 fighter jet dropped the bomb on the Presidential Palace accurately. Accompanied by a loud noise and a swift and violent air wave, the glass within two blocks was shattered by this powerful shock wave, leaving only a huge mass of The fireball illuminated half of the city of Baghdad, and people saw the entire presidential palace burning, and the flames engulfed the entire building, turning the ornate building into a burning hell.No one can come out of such a fire alive.

After completing the mission, the F117 evacuated the area, escaped Iraq's backward radar equipment and air defense network, and returned to the air force base safely.Woolsey and William, who were hiding behind the screen in the office, also breathed a sigh of relief and patted each other on the shoulder. William comforted each other, "I think everything is over, and Baghdad will soon establish a Western-friendly society." regime, the era of Saddam's rule is over."

"The era of Saddam's rule has not passed. As long as his body is not found, we cannot say that Saddam has been killed. We can only say that Saddam's life and death are unknown. Now all the intelligence personnel of the CIA active in Baghdad are acting. Get up, you must find out about Saddam Hussein, even if he is burned to black coals, I will still see the charred corpse."

However, just five hours after the bomb attack on the presidential palace in Baghdad, Al Jazeera broadcast a video of Saddam in a green military uniform, standing in front of soldiers and giving an impassioned war mobilization speech.

"America really think your attack can kill me? Iraq will never give in to the threat of American aggressors, all Iraqi people unite, fight the American aggressors, take them out like Vietnam, like North Korea Deported from our land, the Iraqi people will never fall. And I will faithfully stand on the side of the Iraqi people and lead the people to victory as before.”
