Chapter 405 Attack Plan (Updated)

It only took eight days! This is a pretty amazing conclusion, even faster than the speed of the blitzkrieg of the mustache during World War II!

"So, our friends in Western Europe are already frightened now?" said President Carter.

"Yes, no matter how we lobby, they are unwilling to send troops. Even Britain, which promised to send an army, now only plans to send an armored battalion," said Secretary of State Warren.

After a round of lobbying in Western Europe, there was almost no effect, which made Warren extremely depressed. What role can an armored battalion play!

"Damn it, Harold, how long will it take to capture Tehran? Our military spending has been seriously overspent, and even Congress has begun to express dissatisfaction." Recently, we have been receiving bad news. The attack on Iran was originally planned to be a quick battle and a quick victory. The initial momentum was extremely smooth, but when we continued the attack and reached Tehran, the situation changed. Here, the US military has been attacking for more than 20 days, and there have been heavy casualties!

"We estimate that it will take at least a week, maybe more." Defense Minister Harold no longer has the confidence he had at the beginning. The battle in Tehran was so brutal that he was in a trance and thought he had stepped into another quagmire like the Vietnam War.

"Damn, what's going on with the Iranians? I really want to give an order to have the entire Tehran disappear from the face of the earth!" President Carter said angrily.

Tehran was ruthlessly devouring the blood of American soldiers. So far, more than 8,000 people had been killed and tens of thousands had been injured! The war there was simply too tragic.

It was precisely because the United States could not bear it that it invited Western European countries to send troops to help the United States fight the Iranians. But now, a Soviet exercise has made Western Europe feel like it is facing a great enemy. When the land may be flattened by the Soviet armored torrent at any time, no one dares to send troops to fight a war that has nothing to do with them at all.

Even the follower Britain doesn’t support it!

"We must think of other ways. If we continue like this, the anti-war voices in our country will become louder. Perhaps we will not be able to wait until the HMN government is overthrown, and we will have to step down in the face of the people's call," President Carter continued.

"The Iranians are able to have such strong will because of their spiritual leader. Now, we can confirm that their spiritual leader lives in Qom, a small town not far from Tehran. Why don't we send an army to occupy this town and kill their spiritual leader? The Iranians' fighting will will be immediately destroyed." said the CIA director.

The spiritual atomic bomb cannot kill people, but the power of the spirit is terrifying. It can make these Iranians sacrifice themselves spontaneously. Their behavior of treating their own lives as worthless is a big headache for the United States.

Therefore, it is more important to strike them spiritually! Now that the US military has been dispatched, how can we continue to make the same mistakes again!

Qom? Carter silently repeated the name in his mouth: "Okay, the military will immediately formulate a combat plan to attack Qom and capture HMn! If we can capture HMn, we can use him to force the Iranians to release our hostages!"

Hostages! Until now, President Carter still talks about hostages. Although in reality, the U.S. sent troops to force the hostages to death. However, the reason for sending troops is at least to save the hostages! At the beginning, the Iranians killed several hostages and then there was no more movement. They just clamored and scattered the hostages in many places in Tehran. If the Americans dared to launch a nuclear attack, these hostages would disappear in the beautiful mushroom cloud!

"No." Hearing that these crazy guys had actually formulated an action plan to attack Qom, the Secretary of State couldn't help but get anxious: "That is their holy city. We must not start a war there, otherwise the situation will be beyond our imagination!"

It can be said that because Iran has always been pro-American and has begun to be assimilated by the United States culturally, many Americans think that Iran is already a free country like the United States. However, these days, as the understanding of Iran continues to deepen, Secretary of State Warren knows that Iranians have completely different beliefs from Americans in their bones, and many of them are crazy.

What does it mean if a bloody incident is created in a holy city? It will further arouse their fighting spirit, and more desperate guys will stand on the opposite side of the United States, so that it will be even more difficult for the United States to win this battle!

Now, even though we know HMN is there, we absolutely cannot take action there!

"Warren, you are too cautious. The Iranians are now at the end of their strength. We are only a little bit away from defeating them!" The Secretary of Defense said, "Now, let's give the Iranians a more powerful blow!"

"No, this will bring unimaginable consequences! We can't do this, Mr. President. Our best choice is to continue the attack in Tehran and wait for the Iraqis to attack. We can't create new hatred," Secretary of State Warren continued.

"Warren, you are too timid. If we had been braver at the beginning, we would not have given HMN a chance!" said the Secretary of Defense.

"Harold, does the army have the ability to attack Kum?" Carter asked Harold.

"We are ready. We can just use a newly deployed mechanic to change the route and attack Qom. As for Tehran, it is a bloody city. We have no idea how many troops we can send in."

"Okay, then let's implement this plan. We can't wait any longer. Our army can no longer afford the current consumption. We must end this hateful war as soon as possible! If we continue like this, Congress will block us." Carter said.

As the war dragged on, the country no longer supported President Carter as much as it did at the beginning. They were worried about being stuck in another quagmire. Congress gave them a deadline of half a month to end the war! If Carter could not end the war decently, he would be a complete loser!

Warren's face changed: "Mr. President, if you insist on implementing such a plan, then I have decided to resign."

Resign! Among the entire US top leadership, only Warren saw the disastrous consequences of doing so. If this were really done, the US government would have no way out and would fight to the death with the entire Iran and even the entire Islamic world! People from all over the Middle East would enter Iran and participate in the fight with the United States!
