Chapter 605: The muscle show before the war: The military parade of the Rak country
On the eighth day after the U.S. First Aircraft Carrier Battle Group was attacked by the U.S. Navy, Abdul publicly announced that a military parade would be held to commemorate this victory.
The time is set for three days later.
On the day of the military parade, Latvia will also display more high-end weapons to demonstrate Latvia's military might.
Abdul personally sent invitations to a large number of countries, inviting the heads of state to take time out of their busy schedules to attend the military parade three days later.
There has been constant speculation from all sides about this.
Some people believe that Abdul was completely overwhelmed by the victory and thought that by gaining an advantage at sea, Latvia had the potential to defeat the United States.
That is why they dared to blatantly challenge the bottom line of the United States and expressed through the military parade that Latin America is ready to engage in military struggle with Western countries.
Others believe that Abdul's military parade is actually a threat.
The threat is not to the United States, but to its neighboring countries.
The Desert World is the richest country in the world and possesses oil that can influence the global economy.
For many years, various countries have been purchasing large amounts of arms from the United States and the West. Although they cannot be said to have strong military forces, they do have some decent modern troops.
Knowing that the United States would definitely use force against him, Abdul prepared for the worst and threatened all countries to provide all the crucial assistance to Latin America when war broke out.
Economic aid, weapons and equipment, and even direct military dispatch.
Well known.
Whenever the United States prepares to take action against a country, it will never do it alone, but will always lead a group of allies.
The United States does not care how many troops each country sends, as long as it has allies to accompany it.
The whole country on the other side of the ocean was in uproar.
Lin Kaifeng and General Liu, who received the news, looked at each other in bewilderment.
The two discussed Abdul's character and subsequent actions many times, but still did not expect that Abdul would hold a military parade at this time.
What was even more unexpected was that the Soviet Union would export a batch of short-range ballistic missiles to Latvia.
During the military parade, the most eye-catching weapons were the dozens of short-range ballistic missiles that Abdul purchased from the Soviet Union.
No one knows how these ballistic missiles entered the country of Latvia.
No one knows how many agreements Abdul and the Soviet Union signed.
While the Soviet Union provided arms to the Curry Country, it also extended its reach to the desert world.
The ballistic missiles were transported to Lak at a speed close to the speed of light.
Time passed quickly and it was the third day, and the military parade officially began.
That morning, the capital of the Rak Kingdom was transformed into a huge military camp.
The number of troops gathered here from all directions exceeded 150,000.
The ceremony begins.
Abdul showed off his air power, with various types of aircraft flying over the crowd of spectators.
The next troop that came into view was the elite of the elite of the Lak Kingdom, the ace built by Abdul at a huge expense, and the commander of the guard.
Unlike the regular army which had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the Commander-in-Chief Guard had only 70,000 soldiers.
The annual military expenditure of the 70,000-strong guard corps accounts for one-third of the total military expenditure of the Rak State.
On the viewing stand, Abdul was full of dominance.
The desert nobles watching the ceremony on both sides had their own thoughts.
Chief Mustafa, who was sitting in the same row with Abdul, had a smile on his face but was secretly disdainful in his heart.
People who don't know the truth, when seeing the military parade of Lak, will definitely think that Lak is a country with strong soldiers and its military combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
actual.
After several years of war, the economy of Lak had been destroyed, and Abdul's nearly one million troops were just for show.
Before the war, Lak was indeed worthy of the title of regional military power and desert overlord.
At the beginning of the war, Abdul's army was unstoppable and broke through most of the Persian defense lines, and hundreds of thousands of troops poured into Persia.
Unfortunately, the advantage lasted less than a year.
As Persia recovered from its panic, the army regained its footing and turned to using human wave tactics to consume the regular army of Lak.
The Lak troops, which are capable of fighting tough battles, have undergone many rotations, and the number of new recruits is far greater than the number of veterans.
"Lak Country is forcing us to take action!"
United States, National Security Conference Room.
President Reagan stared coldly at the large TV in front of him.
For this military parade, Latin America adopted the method of live television broadcast.
Media from all countries are invited to come to LAC for interviews and broadcast free of charge.
By the mid-to-late 1980s, live television broadcast technology had become very mature.
Even though Latin America and the United States are thousands of kilometers apart, they can still achieve signal synchronization.
In the conference room, the American civil and military officials remained silent.
On the TV screen, a group of guards in military uniforms and holding assault rifles walked past the reviewing stand. Armored vehicles, tanks, and various combat vehicles formed a black mass.
"Mr. President, we must admit that Abdul is both a tyrant and a cunning old fox."
Miller, the US National Security Advisor, crossed his legs and said slowly, "I bet that when Abdul was about to attack us, he had already started planning this military parade."
"In terms of military accomplishment, any general present here can beat Abdul, but when it comes to maneuvering and maneuvering, Abdul is a top-notch expert."
Upon hearing this, the military generals attending the meeting were confused.
The cabinet members and parliamentary representatives in the meeting room actually understood some of what Miller wanted to express.
Commander Reagan sneered, "Mr. Miller wants to tell us that the more fearless the Rak country appears, the more it is a manifestation of guilty conscience."
"Mr. President, distinguished gentlemen, the more a person lacks something, the more he or she will exaggerate to show that he or she has no problem with it."
Miller held out a hand and pointed his finger at the TV screen.
"The weapons that are passing in front of us now are short-range ballistic missiles that Lak ordered from the Soviet Union. The range of these missiles is only a few hundred kilometers. They can neither threaten us nor our ally in the desert world, the Squid Nation. The only countries that can be threatened by these missiles are the desert tycoons close to Lak."
After these words were spoken, the confused generals suddenly understood.
As expected of the National Security Advisor, he is a man of both civil and military talents.
Have a more unique perspective on problems than others.
General Reagan said: "The navy, army and air force of the Rak country, if placed in the desert, can pose a threat to any country. Once they enter a state of war with us, these weapons and equipment will not pose a threat to us at all."
"Abdul hopes to create trouble for our military deployment by exerting influence and threats on neighboring countries, thus buying himself more time."
"Gentlemen, generals, sending troops to the Rak Nation to seize the entire desert world is our core strategic plan, and no one is allowed to interfere. As for the large number of foreign hostages captured by the Rak Nation, the Squid Nation has promised to find a way to help us rescue them."
