In Fengyuan's Fang family villa, all members of the Fang family gathered together and were enjoying a sumptuous dinner.As the Spring Festival approached, not only Fang Sheng and his wife rushed to Fengyuan from Haizhuang, but even Fang Bin, who was far away in Hong Kong, returned to Fengyuan.
"According to the news our station reporter got from the coalition headquarters, an F117 fighter plane of the US military attacked the TV station building in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, at three in the morning. Three air-to-surface missiles damaged the left side of the building in many places. The exact number of casualties is not yet known..." A report from a reporter from China Television Station in Baghdad was broadcast on the TV.
Since January, people all over the world have focused their attention on the Middle East. In response to Iraq's invasion, the UN Security Council has passed 12 resolutions condemning and sanctioning Iraq.These resolutions put Iraq in an extremely isolated position in political, economic, military and diplomatic aspects.
However, the intransigence of history made UN Security Council Resolution 678 set the deadline for the withdrawal of Iraqi troops at January 39, [-], which is not different from Fang Mingyuan's previous life. Before the date of arrival, Iraq still does not withdraw from the territory of Kuwait. The resolution authorizes the member states of the United Nations to use "all necessary means" to implement various resolutions passed by the United Nations. The crisis provided a legal basis.There has been a slight change in history here, and there is one more country participating in the coalition, India.In fact, not all of these alliance countries are voluntary participants.Some see the war as an intra-Arab war, while others fear the continued strengthening of American influence in Kuwait.But in the end, many countries agreed to participate under the preferential conditions such as economic assistance and debt relief proposed by the United States.Of course, many countries send ships, fighter planes, medical personnel, and army forces, mainly provided by European and American powers such as the United States and Britain.
After several months of troop deployment and confrontation, by the end of November, the U.S. military had basically completed the task of troop deployment.Together with the military forces dispatched by other countries, the total force reached 50.
Before the "deadline" comes, the international community has made great efforts to resolve this crisis.Leaders of many countries mediated and devised a variety of mediation plans. The Secretary-General of the United Nations also came to Baghdad to work on Iraq, hoping that Iraq would withdraw its troops from Kuwait.China's foreign minister also went to Baghdad to meet with Saddam Hussein, hoping to resolve the Gulf crisis peacefully.But because the United States insisted that the only possible peace condition was Iraq's complete and unconditional withdrawal from Kuwait.Iraq insists that Iraq's withdrawal from Kuwait is conditional on the withdrawal of multinational forces from the territory of the Arab countries, as well as the simultaneous withdrawal of Syria from Lebanon and the simultaneous withdrawal of Israel from the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights and southern Lebanon.There is no agreement between the two sides, and war is inevitable.
The war started in the early morning of January [-]th, and the U.S. military still adopted the same attack methods as Fang Mingyuan's previous life, using long-distance missile attacks and air strikes by fighter planes to kick off the war
As of today, the air raid has lasted for 21 days and there are still seven days before the Spring Festival in China. The Spring Festival in [-] is a very good day for young people-February [-] is the same day as Valentine's Day in the West.It's just that in China in [-], people's recognition of Valentine's Day was not as good as in the future, so Fang Mingyuan could only keep this in his heart.
"It's been bombing for more than [-] days. When will the Americans dispatch the army?" Fang Sheng muttered while staring at the TV while eating.This man, he is always interested in weapons and war, it has nothing to do with his age.He has never been very interested in news broadcasts, but since the Gulf War broke out, he has been paying close attention to the situation in the Gulf every day.
Fang Mingyuan grinned secretly. In [-], the vast majority of people in China, including many soldiers, still had a soft spot for the army's decisive battle. They always believed that a war would not be possible without the army's presence It is a real war, and the U.S. coalition and Iraq have millions of soldiers on the border, and the total number of tanks exceeds [-]. It can be said that since World War II, the number of tanks on the battlefield is the highest in a war. .Many people are looking forward to seeing a wonderful tank battle.It is also to determine whether the Soviet tank or the American tank is better, and the result is officially compared.
But these people must be disappointed in the end. After more than 20 days of violent bombing, the Iraqis suffered heavy losses. According to post-war statistics, the Iraqis had already suffered 10,000+ casualties at that time, and nearly half of their heavy equipment was damaged. As soon as the coalition army troops were dispatched, the Iraqi army fled back to Iraq in a collapsed way. Destroyed wreckage could be seen everywhere in the sand sea, or tanks abandoned by the Iraqis.
"However, the American fighter planes are really advanced. They can even be invisible on the radar. Doesn't it mean that entering and leaving the skies of other countries is like entering no one's land, and they can bomb whoever they want? How can they think of letting the plane Can you also be invisible on the radar?" Fang Ya, who was holding the bowl but kept his eyes on the TV, couldn't help but sigh.
In the Gulf, the most outstanding U.S. military equipment is the Patriot missile, the Tomahawk missile, and the f117 stealth fighter-bomber. It can be said that it has attracted the attention of people who pay attention to military affairs all over the world from the moment they appeared.Fang Ya's casual remark precisely expressed the original intention of the Americans to develop the f117.
The reason why f7 was originally developed was the background of the global cold war at that time.The Americans tried various methods in order to enable their nuclear bombers to break through the Soviet defenses and enter the Soviet territory.However, by setting up artillery, missiles and high-altitude interceptors, the Soviets are almost invulnerable no matter whether it is low, medium or high altitude.It's a headache for Americans.Therefore, the Americans invested huge sums of money to develop the F7, which has a unique angular shape and absorbing paint, making it difficult for radar to detect.
"This plane is awesome. Two days ago, it dared to bomb Iraqi military targets in broad daylight. I heard that since the start of the war, the U.S. military has lost a lot of fighter planes, but none of them are F117s. Tell me, when will we The country also has such a plane, and it went directly to bomb the capital of Baiyue, I am afraid they don't know where the bomb fell from?" Fang Sheng couldn't help thinking a little bit.
"Well, if that's the case, it would be too relieved. The little Baiyue devil eats ours, uses ours, and hits us. He really isn't a fucking thing," Fang Bin said from the side.Being in Hong Kong, he naturally has a deeper understanding of the war in the south.Although the war between the two countries had basically ended at the end of **, everyone was still full of anger when they talked about it.
Soon, Fang Mingyuan's two uncles also joined the discussion. Everyone was thinking about how such a fighter could be discovered.And for its advanced nature, it is naturally full of emotion.
Listening to their nonsensical discussions, Fang Mingyuan was secretly happy. In fact, f7 is not as perfect as it is advertised. It also has many shortcomings, which are mainly caused by the stealth performance as the primary consideration when designing.For example, the flying speed is slow and the air maneuverability is not strong. This is mainly because the structure and layout of the fuselage cater to the needs of stealth.Moreover, its engine thrust is relatively small, and there is no afterburning system.However, despite this, as the world's first stealth fighter-bomber, it has "gone down in history."It is an important milestone in the history of world aviation.
It is precisely because of this that it caused a great shock to the Chinese military. Just in time for the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the new Russia had no money, Huaxia vigorously introduced Soviet-style aircraft to improve the combat capabilities of the Chinese Air Force. Efforts to catch up with the footsteps of European and American powers.It is precisely because of this that after 2000, China's new domestically produced fighters can appear in the sky of the motherland one after another.
"Mingyuan, where did the chopsticks go?" Bai Ping shouted, and Fang Mingyuan, who had lost his mind again, came to his senses, and only then did he notice that his chopsticks had almost reached into his father's bowl .
"There are a few of you, don't discuss any important military and national affairs when eating, set an example for the children, everyone is already a father, why can't it do anything good?" Bai Ping turned her head, and said to the other party They are dissatisfied with authenticity.
Fang Sheng and the others couldn't help but smile bitterly. The Fang family today is not the same as it used to be. In the past few years, Fang Mingyuan is not the only third generation in the family. He was still breastfeeding, and was hugged by Fang Mingyuan's aunt and sat on the mat.
"Okay, your sister-in-law is right. Now that you are all fathers, what do you have to do to set an example for the children? It doesn't matter if you take the TV away after dinner," Mr. Fang said in a deep voice.
"What set an example? Except for Mingyuan, everyone is still ignorant." Fang Bin muttered in a low voice.As for Fang Mingyuan?What else do you need to set an example for?
"Huh?" Old Master Fang glanced over immediately, Fang Bin shrank his head, and said no more.
"Okay, it's rare for Xiao Bin to come back, old man, why are you so pretentious?" Grandma felt sorry for her youngest son, and immediately pushed Old Man Fang.
"What's so rare, didn't you just meet him in Hong Kong two months ago?" Mr. Fang couldn't help muttering, but his expression softened.
After dinner, it was naturally time for free activities. Fang Mingyuan was not interested in talking about the Gulf War with them, let alone seeing his children. He had watched these brothers and sisters grow up in previous lives, and he was not interested in seeing them again in this life. back.He went out of the house directly, and walked out along the path outside the house.
"Mingyuan, Mingyuan, wait for me." The uncle's voice came from behind.
