Chapter 683: The Iraqi Issue Takes a Sudden Turn

"We abstain." George said. After weighing the pros and cons, George still abstained. This time, the United States cannot be blamed. It's all Israel's fault. Israel is so bold to explode a nuclear bomb when it disagrees with others!

"We agree," said the French representative.

France is a country that goes its own way and goes against the United States on many issues. In this matter, it is obvious that Israel has violated the regulations, and France cannot defend itself.

"We abstain." said the British representative. Britain and the United States have always been on a united front. Since the United States abstained, Britain will also abstain.

With two abstentions and two votes passed, the final decisive vote is in the hands of the Chinese representative. Given the Chinese spirit, there is a high possibility of abstention. By then, if three abstentions occur and the number of votes in favor does not reach the majority, there is still a chance of a turnaround.

"We agree that the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is the cornerstone for maintaining world peace and stability. No new country can possess nuclear weapons, as this will greatly increase world instability, especially in the Middle East, a world of powder kegs. If nuclear bombs are introduced, the Middle East will become even more unstable. To maintain stability in the Middle East and to maintain the security of world energy, the Middle East must be denuclearized. Israel must destroy their nuclear weapons." The Chinese representative spoke.

George was stunned. Ever since China followed the Soviet Union, it has become more and more confident in speaking!

Just like this, the United Nations conference passed a decision to impose sanctions on Israel. Israel must sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, accept inspections by United Nations nuclear experts, and destroy all their nuclear weapons. Otherwise, they will face United Nations sanctions and military strikes to destroy Israel’s nuclear facilities!

What a failure again and again! George sat on the returning plane, still feeling extremely depressed. The situation in the entire Middle East had completely gotten out of control. The plan to use Israel to contain the Syrian army had failed. Was there any chance for the United States to turn things around?

George returned to the White House with mixed feelings and saw that the other think tanks all had pale faces.

What? Did they already know the result of the UN?

"Don't worry too much. Israel will not involve us. This is a choice they have to make," said George.

"George, you don't know yet, but two hours ago, Iraq launched a large-scale counterattack, and our troops were divided and surrounded by Iraq," said Defense Secretary Weinberger. "Now, in Mosul, Tikrit and Baghdad, our troops are surrounded in three separate encirclements. A total of more than 300,000 troops, including logistics personnel, other coalition forces, and Kurdish forces, are all in danger."

Iraq actually launched a large-scale counterattack! The smooth progress of the US army in the past was actually an illusion! The Iraqis lured the US army to continue to advance, lengthening the battle line and supply lines, and even used Baghdad as bait! The Iraqis also secretly gathered a huge force to counterattack in one fell swoop!

Originally, it was thought that the Iraqis were already at the end of their strength, and the United States only needed to make a little more effort to wipe out all of them, but what about now? It turns out that the Iraqis are accumulating their strength and preparing for a sudden attack!

The timing of the Iraqi counterattack was very clever. Due to the Kurdish unrest in Turkey and the hydropower war in Syria, logistical supplies for the United States had become extremely difficult. Although the Kurds would not cut off the roads blatantly, the occasional guerrilla attacks made the United States exhausted. The Syrians were not so easy to deal with. The United States would never be able to pass through areas controlled by the Syrians.

Originally, as a superpower, it was not difficult for the United States to deal with Iraq. However, the problem was that it was impossible for the United States to mobilize all its troops. 300,000 troops were definitely a limit. In this case, if a war broke out in Europe, the Soviet Union could march straight in, penetrate through various weakly defended areas, and reach the English Channel!

The United States only sent out a part of its troops, but what about Iraq? Now, almost all Iraqis are soldiers! Iraq already has a million-strong army, including 9 main armored divisions, 5 mechanized divisions, 18 motorized infantry divisions, and 31 infantry divisions. The size of Iraq's army can be said to be among the top five in the world!

In this way, Iraq relied on its numerical advantage to besiege the US army, especially on the outskirts of Baghdad. Iraq mobilized more than 400,000 troops to besiege the 200,000 or so coalition forces inside!

Although Iraq had a lot of Soviet-made equipment and was very powerful, the U.S. military was also strong and could compete with the genuine Soviet army. It should not be a big deal to deal with the Iraqi army.

However, the U.S. military is now short of supplies! Food can be solved locally, but weapons and equipment must be transported from the rear. Under the current circumstances, many infantrymen in the U.S. military are lucky to have a complete magazine left on them! Without ammunition, it's useless! The mechanized forces of the United States are highly dependent on logistics supply. Once the logistics line is cut off, the Americans will lose their combat effectiveness!

Hearing this, George immediately knew that the situation was quite critical!

What should we do? Of all the people present, Vice President Bush had the most say. This veteran of World War II had a unique quirk in combat.

Unfortunately, George H.W. Bush didn't have any tricks up his sleeve, and now it seems that the military solution to the Iraq problem is finally going to fail!

"Perhaps we can launch a counterattack in Saudi Arabia and transport supplies from Saudi Arabia to Iraq," said the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs.

At the beginning, the biggest advantage of attacking from Turkey was that we could get the Kurds as guides, go straight in and solve the problem quickly. There was no danger at the time, but the Soviets seized a series of opportunities, completely disrupted Turkey and disrupted the United States' logistical supplies!

"No, Saudi Arabia now has Soviet troops. If we want to take back control of Saudi Arabia, we will have to go to war with the Soviet Union. Are we ready for World War III?" George said.

Although from the current situation it seems that the Soviet Union invaded Saudi Arabia only to seize oil, but if the US military really attacks eastward, it will definitely face the risk of direct confrontation with the Soviet Union.

The Third World War will definitely turn into a nuclear war! The United States is far behind in space technology. Now, the United States does not have any anti-missile means, and the Soviet S-300 has shown its ability to intercept short-range ballistic missiles in actual combat! The United States knows that the Soviet missile is definitely not intercepted with a nuclear warhead, but with a conventional interception!
