Babylonian Empire

"We will dispatch armed forces now to arrest those Americans," said Prince Sultan.

"There is no reason for us to act now." Qusay said, "Besides, we only know of one American who contacted Osama. For such a big operation, the Americans must have used a lot of spies. We We must take advantage of this opportunity to pull out all the spies the Americans left in Saudi Arabia, otherwise, we cannot guarantee which family the Americans will win over to overthrow the rule of the Saudi family.”

What is hidden in the dark is the scariest thing. It is impossible for Saudi Arabia to deport all Americans, nor is it possible to monitor the movements of everyone in every family at all times.Therefore, turning passive into active is the most important thing.

"Abdullah, what's your idea?" Prince Sultan asked.

"Your Majesty, we should persecute the bin Laden family. In this way, the Americans will definitely go looking for Osama again. Osama also has enough reasons to agree to the conditions of the Americans. Then, all American intelligence personnel in Saudi Arabia , will definitely prepare for Osama’s rebellion. Osama will have certain US agents in his hands. We can also secretly deploy personnel to collect the remaining US agents. Then, after collecting enough evidence, at the right time, Catch them all," Qusay said.

Since Osama was chosen by the Americans, let Osama be a protagonist in this incident.

Persecution of bin Laden family?"What are we going to do with the bin Laden family?" King Fahd asked.

The relationship between the Saudi family and the bin Laden family is still very good.Hearing Qusay's words, King Fahd may not be able to accept it rationally. Could it be that he arrested a few members of the bin Laden family and put them in prison?Otherwise, how to "force against" Osama?

"The Osama bin Laden family is mainly engaged in the construction and financial industries. We only need to start in these two areas, so that the bin Laden family will lose their source of income. At that time, Osama will have enough reasons to fall into the arms of the Americans." Qusay said. "For example, we announced that there was a serious quality problem in the palace built by the bin Laden family, and imposed a huge fine on the bin Laden family, for example, [-] million U.S. dollars. Then, we transferred the project contracted by the bin Laden family to the Kingdom Construction Company. In this way, The income of the Osama bin Laden family will be greatly reduced, and they will see the crisis with a long-term perspective, and a rebellious figure like Osama will be completely disappointed in the Saudi royal family. Is this reason reliable?"

After listening to Qusay's words, King Fahd and Prince Sultan showed smiles on their faces. Cutting off people's fortunes is worse than falling in love with other people's wives!

Then, Qusay put forward his own opinion on the plan for continuing to act, and a complete countermeasure gradually took shape.

Chapter 32 Justice Action

When the United States has not made more progress in subverting the Saudi government, Bush, who has always hoped to use violence to solve the problem, has found an opportunity to try his hand at a small scale.

Panama!

For Americans, the entire America has always been regarded as their back garden, and Panama has a special geographical location. It is located on the S-shaped Panama Isthmus connecting South and North America, bordering the Caribbean Sea in the north, the Pacific Ocean in the south, and Colombia in the east. It is connected to Costa Rica in the west, and its strategic position is very important.Moreover, more importantly, the 81.3-kilometer Panama Canal was dug on the land of Panama, which is an important waterway connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, so that ships do not have to go around Cape Horn, the southern tip of South America, when sailing, making the two oceans The coastal voyage has been shortened by more than 1 kilometers, which is of great strategic significance to the United States.Costs would have skyrocketed without the canal, from coast to coast in the United States.This canal has the same important status as the Suez Canal.

Moreover, Panama is the forward position of the U.S. military deployment in South America. The U.S. has 14 military bases in Panama, with a total of [-] soldiers. They have the U.S. Southern Command at Quarry Heights in the Panama Canal Zone. At Caleta Island base.It is the most important electronic communication base in the United States, which can maintain communication with the US Navy submarines in the two oceans.Another Howard Air Force Base is the largest US air force base in Latin America and can control all air operations in the Western Hemisphere.Therefore, Panama has important strategic significance to the United States, and the United States absolutely does not want to withdraw its troops from Panama.

The Panama Canal is a pain in the hearts of the Panamanian people. Although this canal flows on the land of Panama, it is controlled by the Americans. In 1903, the United States seized the right to dig the canal and the permanent lease of the canal area with a one-time payment of 1000 million U.S. dollars and an annual rent of 25 U.S. dollars.Ten years later, the canal was opened, and this place became the territory of the United States. The governor of the United States was appointed by the government of the United States, the American flag was raised, and American laws were enforced.

The United States steals more than 1 million U.S. dollars from the toll tax on the canal every year, but only a fraction of the rent is handed over to the Panamanian zhèngfǔ. Therefore, the ownership of the canal has become a focus of the Panamanian people's struggle against colonialism.

In particular, the Panamanian people began to get excited again after seeing the Egyptian people finally nationalize the Suez Canal after a tireless struggle.In the 60s, the people of Panama held many protests and demonstrations for the sovereignty of the Canal Zone.Finally, after decades of struggle, the heads of government of the United States and Pakistan signed the new Panama Canal Treaty in Washington on September 1977, 9.The 7 treaty is abolished, and the privilege of the United States to permanently occupy the Canal Zone is revoked. After December 1903, 1999, the Canal and the Canal Zone will be completely controlled by Panama.Moreover, from 12 onwards, the director of the Canal Zone Management Committee should be nominated by the Pakistani side.

Although the Americans signed the agreement, the Americans absolutely do not want to return the management rights of the canal to Panama.

And now, the opportunity has finally come.In 83, the ambitious Noriega forced the then military leader Ruben Dario Paredes to retire through a coup, and he became the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces and took control of military and political power.Moreover, after the presidential election in May this year, although the presidential candidate jointly elected by the opposition parties, Guillermo Ndara, won the election, Noriega declared the election invalid, and Noriega himself became the head of state.

And Guillermo left Panama and arrived in the United States, and the United States got a good opportunity: overthrow the Noriega regime and support Guillermo to power!

The United States has imposed economic sanctions on Panama, and military preparations are gradually taking shape. In order to prevent Noriega Mountain from carrying out jungle guerrilla warfare, they mobilized the 82nd Airborne Division and special operations forces adapted to tropical jungle operations from the mainland.After several months of planning, the U.S. military was ready to stop and began to actively look for an opportunity to invade.

The opportunity came soon. On the night of December 12, four Americans from the Panama Canal Zone, who had been prepared, fired shots in the direction of the headquarters of the Panama Defense Forces when they drove by the headquarters of the Panama Canal. to create opportunities.As a result, the angry Panamanian soldiers immediately fought back. When they were outnumbered, one officer in the vehicle was killed and another was injured.

When the news spread back to the country, the US top leaders finally became angry. This bloodshed incident became a favorable excuse for the US government to fǔ them.

"We are in Panama. We have a large number of our citizens. The money of our American taxpayers has created our powerful American military power. This force is definitely not a pretense." President Bush's voice resounded on the roof of the White House : "Now, the pseudo zhèngfǔ in Panama may harm our citizens at any time. We will absolutely not tolerate similar incidents in the Iranian embassy. Moreover, the zhèngfǔ in Panama has always been engaged in drug smuggling activities. We in the United States Serve the interests of all mankind, fight Noriega's hypocritical government, and hand over power to the real president elected by the Panamanian people!"

President Bush has a dignified look of justice. Ten years ago, President Carter’s mishandling caused American citizens to be harmed in Persia, which is under attack. President Bush brought this matter up to fully demonstrate his concern for American citizens , every American citizen cannot be harmed!

After listening to President Bush's words, the Secretary of Defense Richard Bruce Cheney on the side showed a gleam in his eyes. After Bush became president, Cheney became the Secretary of Defense. His attitude is somewhat similar to that of the former Bo Lerì Nev, aggressive.

During Cheney's life journey, he had no experience of serving in the military. Therefore, for Cheney, many people doubted President Bush's choice to let such a person be the Secretary of Defense?

Now, Cheney is eager to try, and Panama is just a brilliant start in his career as Minister of Defense!

"Yes, we must use our force to overthrow Noriega's military regime and support Ndala as president. Ndala is the president elected by the people of Panama in line with legal procedures!" Cheney said.

With Endara, the United States has a reasonable excuse to be in Panama. Moreover, since Endara returned to Panama and became president with the help of the United States, the relationship between the United States and the Panamanian government will become closer again. .

"Your Excellency, we have formulated a rigorous operation. We will use dozens of aircraft, including our latest F-117 stealth aircraft, and more than 2 people, including the troops stationed in Panama, to overthrow Noriel in the shortest possible time. Canada's rule!" Cheney continued, already full of confidence.

The Panamanian army, at most, is a third-rate army without any modern equipment. The only thing they need to worry about is that Noriega has escaped. They need to capture Noriega and have a public trial!

"I authorize this combat operation, Operation Code Name, Operation Justice!" President Bush said.

With President Bush's nod, the powerful US Army began to move.

In the early morning of December 89, 12, two planes with strange shapes were dragged out of the special hangar. The black fuselage seemed to blend in with the night.

This is the Topano Air Force Test Base in Nevada, and the two strange planes are the latest products of American cutting-edge technology, stealth fighters!

In the ammunition bays of the two planes, two laser-guided bombs have been mounted, which are their main weapons.

To become a pilot of this type of aircraft, one must be an elite in the U.S. Air Force, because this type of aircraft does not have a trainer aircraft, and all training is carried out in the dark.

With the sound of the tower in the headset, the two planes taxied lightly from the runway and took off quickly.

America's just action has begun.

When the F-117 bombs were dropped on Oato's anti-aircraft artillery positions, Panama knew that the war had begun.

However, in the face of the U.S. military, their resistance was almost negligible. The Americans blew up Noriega's small private airport and Noriega's plane.Noriega's private boat was also sunk, cutting off his escape by air and sea. He parachuted to Torrijos International Airport, occupied the airport, and blocked the bridge across the Pacola River. The ** people took a transport plane and entered the battlefield.

Within a few days, major cities in Panama, such as Panama City, Cologne, and Rio Alto, had been captured by the U.S. military, and the U.S. military had recovered Panama.

Four days later, exhausted by the situation in Panama, Noriega entered the Vatican embassy and asked for political asylum.The Americans would never give him a chance. The United States sent more than 500 soldiers and more than 10 armored vehicles to surround the Vatican embassy and demanded that the Vatican ambassador hand over Noriega.

Although the Panama operation was unanimously condemned by the outside world, even the United Kingdom, a loyal ally of the United States, also accused the United States of maliciously interfering in Panama's internal affairs, but there is no doubt that this was a show of the United States' military power. In this world, the United States China's military power is always the most powerful, and the American stealth fighter, the F-117, has also been deified to the point where it cannot be added.

At the same time, this action also declared that the Bush government's strategy, force, is the best way for the United States to solve problems, and the troops supported by taxpayers' money serve the Americans!

Bush is very satisfied with this operation, and at the same time, he has set his sights on the Middle East, where a recent incident happened.

Chapter 33 Encouraging Again

In the initial test of the American stealth aircraft, almost everyone on the earth knows the advanced nature of the United States in the field of aviation.Moreover, the United States is now able to launch the F-117 because the follow-up models of the United States have also entered the stage of comprehensive research and development.

Among them, the two famous stealth aircraft of later generations, B-2, have already started the prototype test flight, and the famous F-22, which is proud of the sky, is still in the McDonnell-Douglas joint YF-23 and Lockheed, General Dynamics and Boeing's YF-22 demonstrator.The U.S. Air Force is lucky because, after they propose a research project, U.S. companies will have multiple proposals and use bidding to determine which one is the most suitable.

Under the coercion of F-117, the world has entered the [-]th century.

On the third day of the ninetieth century, Major General Mark Cisneros, commander of the U.S. Army in Panama, accepted Noriega's surrender.Noriega was shipped to the United States and became a prisoner in Miami federal court.

Endara, supported by the United States, became the new President of Panama. This regime friendly to the United States was finally established with the help of the United States.

Clean and neat, this is the American style.

This action bolstered the self-confidence of President Bush, Secretary of Defense Cheney and other high-level US officials.

At this moment, an insignificant incident in the Middle East made them realize that the opportunity had finally come.

Saudi Arabia, which has always been dry and rainless, unexpectedly experienced a rainfall of more than 100 millimeters at the end of last year. As a result, water accumulated in many places in the Saudi Royal Palace, and one place actually collapsed.

This matter made the King of Saudi Arabia very angry. The palace at that time was built by the Osama bin Laden family. Didn't they think of arranging sufficient drainage system for the palace when they built it?
