Chapter 597 Game Is Over

Even Bush, who is not good at economics and loves war, knows that the current situation is not optimistic for the United States.

In order to avoid losing in the space field, the United States invested a lot of money in the Star Wars program to suppress the Soviet space race.

Under such circumstances, the United States simply does not have any extra funds to support this war. However, since it concerns the energy security of the United States and the entire world situation, the United States has no choice but to use force. If it loses the Middle East again, the United States will have nothing!

Under such circumstances, the United States launched the largest military mobilization since the Vietnam War, dispatching hundreds of fighter planes and several divisions of ground forces. Now, these troops have suffered heavy losses. The missile rain at the Prince Sultan Air Force Base alone has caused the United States to lose tens of billions!

In order to continue the war, the United States has begun to use the funds that Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have deposited in the United States. However, the current war is absolutely a bottomless pit, because behind Iraq is the Soviet Union!

The Soviet Union did not come to the fore, because it would lead to a world war, and the United States was also trying its best to avoid a world war! This was not good for either side, but the Soviets' determination to occupy the entire Middle East would not change. Therefore, the Iranian Air Force was able to fully deploy to support Iraq this time, which was definitely the Soviet Union behind the scenes!

Moreover, the Soviet Union also sent its own fighter jets to the Middle East. Although they were painted with the logo of the Iranian Air Force, it could definitely not cover up the facts!

In this case, the United States must show its tough stance! In order to quickly resolve the war, there is only one way!

It’s just like when World War II ended and the island nation surrendered. If they keep talking tough, then we’ll drop a nuclear bomb on them!

Reagan was also shocked when he heard Bush's words: "Bush, do you support us dropping nuclear bombs?"

Although the United States has a huge amount of nuclear weapons, these weapons are meant for deterrence. Apart from the two nuclear bombs dropped at the end of World War II, the United States did not use nuclear weapons in subsequent wars. Instead, the Soviet Union had its eyes on China several times and wanted to grow mushrooms for it.

Faced with the corrupt situation in the Middle East, the United States has threatened to use nuclear weapons. However, in the face of the threat from the United States, the Iraqis did not compromise. Instead, they threatened the United States that if the United States dropped a nuclear bomb, they would drop chemical weapons on Israel! Moreover, according to intelligence obtained by the CIA, there are a certain number of foreigners in various major cities in Iraq. If the United States uses nuclear weapons, which are weapons of indiscriminate attack, the United States will also face international condemnation!

Now, you want to drop a nuclear bomb?

"I don't agree with dropping a nuclear bomb. We cannot rescue the Westerners who are held hostage by the Iraqi authorities in Iraq. There are more than 3,000 Westerners in total, and they are Iraq's hostages. If we drop a nuclear bomb, the Westerners will also be harmed. Then, countless countries in NATO will stand up against us, and our alliance will collapse."

Even West Germany would not work. If the people of West Germany were really blown to pieces by nuclear bombs in Iraq, West Germany would definitely erupt in full-scale protests, and might even vote to return to East Germany. Although this trick of the Iraqis was not honorable, it also restricted the actions of the Americans, and they did not dare to let go and really do something big.

The person who spoke was Secretary of State George. When he heard that Bush was going to use a nuclear bomb, he immediately spoke out to stop him. He said that he couldn't do that or he would get himself killed!

"I didn't say we were going to launch nuclear bombs at big cities in Iraq. Aren't there a lot of deserts in Iraq? How about we launch a nuclear bomb at the desert?" Bush asked.

Attacking the city is inferior, but attacking the heart is superior. Now the Iraqis are very tough and aggressive, but what can they do to challenge a big country with nuclear weapons? Throwing a nuclear bomb at Iraq, but not in the big cities, but in the desert, this kind of deterrence is more meaningful!

Look, the United States is not joking. The United States is really determined to drop a nuclear bomb. The first one was just a demonstration and it was thrown into the desert. The second one will be on the heads of you Iraqis!

As for the pollution caused by the nuclear explosion, it’s even more deserved!

"This..." Reagan hesitated. Although it was thrown into the desert, using a nuclear bomb was still a big deal after all. Many American presidents had held the nuclear key but never used nuclear weapons in the end.

Are you going to release Pandora's box in your own hands?

"This is the fastest way for us to end the war. Let Iraq and the Soviet Union know that the will of the United States cannot be violated and the Middle East must return to its original state. Otherwise, even if we have to fight a nuclear war, we must safeguard our interests in the Middle East!" Bush said, "Now, the Soviet Union is aggressive. After creating an advantage in the Far East, it is suppressing our living space in the Middle East. If we lose the Middle East, our government will be more incompetent than the Carter administration!"

Bush's words were so unpleasant to hear that even Reagan's face turned red and white.

"As the world's superpower and the leader of NATO, we must have the momentum of a great power!" Bush continued, "Why can the United States become the leader of NATO? It is because of our military strength! Our nuclear arsenal is not just a deterrent force. At the critical moment, we will launch a nuclear attack first to safeguard our interests. This is our mission! Do we want our army to continue to suffer heavy losses and rely on our American lives to fill the bottomless pit in the Middle East? God knows how many more people will be needed! If it turns into another Vietnam War, every one of us will be derelict in our duty! Using nuclear weapons is our only correct choice to end the war as quickly as possible!"

"Game is over!" Bush ended his speech with his sharp words. The United States is not playing anymore and should quickly end the war with nuclear weapons. This is the best choice!

"Okay, as president, I authorize a nuclear strike against Iraq, targeting the Hijara Desert in Iraq." Reagan said, "Bring me my nuclear briefcase."

Reagan also held the golden "Golden Code" verification card in his hand. He looked at the nuclear briefcase brought by his bodyguard with a serious expression. This box was like Pandora's box.

This nuclear briefcase is a symbol of the power of the President of the United States. It contains a satellite signal transmitter and receiver that can directly connect to the Pentagon's nuclear warfare center and various US air force commands. Its purpose is to authorize nuclear strikes.

This box has a combination lock, which requires the president's exclusive "golden code" verification card to open! With Reagan's operation, the nuclear briefcase was opened.
