Chapter 695 Nuclear Deterrence

In the photo, there is an aircraft carrier formation with the oblique deck in the center, surrounded by other destroyers and frigates. After rubbing his eyes hard, Bush saw that this should be Pakistan's naval formation, but what are the ships on the right side of the formation?

The pictures taken by satellites are taken from the top and look very difficult. Only professional and trained people can interpret them. Bush, too, was able to see these warships at a glance because he served in the US Navy and often looked down from the sky.

"This is a Pakistani naval formation with the Endeavour as its core," William said. "In addition to Pakistan's destroyers and frigates joining the formation, there are four landing ships in this formation."

There are four landing ships! If it is an ordinary formation, it can be said to be exercises and training. Now, even landing ships are available. What do the Pakistani people want to do?

"Which sea was found?" asked Bush.

"The Bay of Bengal in the eastern waters of India is more than 200 nautical miles away from Visakhapatnam."

More than 200 nautical miles! Even if it is a cruise speed of more than ten knots, it can arrive in one day. What do Pakistanis want to do?

Richard Hayes, assistant assistant to National Security Affairs, suddenly reacted: "The Pakistani people want to occupy Visakhapatnam!"

Visakhapatnam is an important port city in eastern India and the headquarters of the Eastern India Fleet. After Kolkata was occupied, this city was the most important outlet. If this city is also occupied, the waters in eastern India and the entire Bay of Bengal will all belong to Pakistan!

Typically, Pakistan will fight a landing battle with sea to destroy Indian navy and occupy the city at the same time!

It’s really damn. While the United States is busy with affairs in the Middle East, Pakistan is making trouble at this time!

"The Pakistanis are definitely not just occupying Kolkata. Their overall strategic intention is to completely occupy India!" Bush also expressed his judgment.

A few days ago, I occupied Kolkata and kept saying that I would collect debts as collateral. Now I want to occupy Visakhapatnam again. This is the rhythm of destroying India!

Visakhapatnam is different from Kolkata. It is located in central India, which is where the Tumen are active. Hyderabad Tumen has actually become independent. The small Tumen around are watching. Visakhapatnam has several divisions of force to suppress rebellions from all over the country. If the Indian army here is destroyed, the entire central and southern India will be in chaos.

Pakistanis will definitely do this!

"We must stop them!" Bush made the decision almost immediately. Now India's weak military strength cannot compete with Pakistan at all. You can tell by looking at the war in Kolkata. The Pakistani people occupied the city without much effort, and India actually did not even have the ability to counterattack.

"Mr. President, the topic we just discussed is to increase troops to the Gulf region." Secretary of Defense Cheney, who was standing next to him, interrupted him.

Although the setting of the US defense policy requires that it can win two local wars at the same time, in fact, when facing a powerful country, the United States' military strength is still insufficient. One Iraq is enough for Americans to have a headache. If they go to war with Pakistan again, it would be crazy.

What's going on with the president? Don't you consider the actual situation? I have to say that guy Mhamad is too good at finding time.

"We don't have to directly participate in the war in South Asia," said Bush. "We need to export a large amount of arms to India and support the Indian army. Let them have the ability to drive away the Pakistanis!"

After a pause, Bush continued: "Export a hundred fighter jets, five hundred tanks, and retired warships to them..."

"I'm sorry." Before Bush finished speaking, the Finance Minister Nicholas Brady, who was standing by, finally interrupted the president's words unbearable. What's going on with the president? He was so excited when he talked about war? Don't you consider the reality?

"Our military expenditure this year has exceeded 300 billion US dollars. Some people in Congress have already suggested ending military operations in the Middle East. If we export a large amount of weapons to India, it will be a huge expense. Congress will not agree to us doing this."

The United States is really poor this year. The Gulf War is so fierce that it is going to be blown away. Not to mention anything else, the Doha military camp was bombed a few days ago, and the pensions for the dead soldiers and the subsidies for disabled soldiers will be astronomical. The domestic economic situation has not improved, and just Iraq is a headache. It is simply impossible to open new threads to support India and build Pakistan.

"We attack Iraq, so many soldiers who have died, the people are still acceptable. If we go to support India, I'm sorry, Mr. President, I'm afraid I can't sit still as the position of Minister of Finance. Please invite others to come." Nicholas looked helpless.

The days for Western European countries to fleece are over. Except for Britain who is still supporting the United States, other countries are watching coldly. I am afraid that those people present will know what plans these Europeans are doing. As the threat of the Soviet Union eases, they no longer want the United States to dominate the Western world. If the United States suffered great damage to the economy in this war, Europeans would probably be happy secretly, right?

At this time, I will support India! The president's idea is a bit too naive, right?

"It seems that we have only one way." Bush clenched his fists at this time, and the veins on it burst out: "In order to give an explanation to the country, we must end the war quickly. At this time, we should use some unconventional means!"

Looking at Bush, the old man who was gritting his teeth, Secretary of Defense Cheney first understood: "Mr. President, are you going to use nuclear weapons?"

Nuclear weapons! The main function of nuclear weapons is nuclear deterrence! Especially for countries without nuclear weapons, now, the United States should use this nuclear deterrence capability, whether it is Iraq or Pakistan!

When everyone heard Bush's words, they were shocked. Using nuclear weapons, even if it was just a nuclear deterrence, the level of war would rise!

Nuclear weapons are only possessed by the five permanent members. At the same time, in the Cold War, the dark clouds of nuclear weapons have always enveloped the world. Once a nuclear war occurs, the entire earth will usher in the darkest moment.

Therefore, a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union will not break out. The main function of nuclear weapons is deterrence. Now, it is easier to use nuclear weapons to deter a country without nuclear weapons.

Bush Sr. He must engage in military occupation against Iraq, no matter what weapon he uses! He must use it to be tough against Pakistan. Even if he supports India with a nuclear bomb umbrella, he cannot let Pakistan dismember India!

This is the basic attitude of the United States and cannot be changed!

The United States has the world's most powerful nuclear weapons, and it's time for these weapons to be useful!

"Yes, it's our nuclear weapons!" Bush said: "In order to make our soldiers less bleeding, and to restore peace to the Middle East and South Asia, we should use unconventional means!"

Bush's considerations are of great practical significance. The United States has indeed consumed a lot of funds and invested in a war of gambles. Tens of thousands of US military casualties need an explanation for the government to use nuclear weapons to force Iraq to surrender. If Iraq continues to resist stubbornly, Bush would not mind growing mushrooms over Iraq. During World War II, the United States did it!

As for Pakistan, Bush Sr. was also helpless. Pakistan clearly made trouble for Americans. Taking advantage of the United States' busyness in the Middle East and no time to take into account South Asian affairs, he began to invade India in a big way. If India is gone, the United States will completely lose its strategic advantage in Asia. Bush Sr. will not sit and watch all this.

In fact, it is more about nuclear deterrence against Pakistan, so that Mhamad will stop when it is better, and don’t do too much.

At the suggestion of the powerful Bush Sr., the top U.S. officials passed a resolution. It was time to use the U.S. nuclear deterrence capabilities!

Later, White House Chief of Staff John held a press conference.

"We are a country that advocates freedom and civilization. For the two wars that took place in the Middle East and South Asia, we, the United States, regrettably saw the sovereign state being barbarously invaded. Kuwait, again under Saddam's iron hooves, and India was also invaded by conspiring invaders. As a just country, we filed serious protests against the two invaders. We will use any means to maintain stability in the Middle East and South Asia, including the use of our nuclear weapons!"

Nuclear weapons! John's words instantly made the reporters furious. After Doha was attacked and Americans died heavily, the whole world was watching how the United States would react. Now, the Americans threw out nuclear bombs to deter!

What does this mean? Does it mean that Americans admit that they will use nuclear weapons in anger only if they fail completely in a conventional war?

Moreover, the target of the United States' deterrence this time is not only the Middle East, but also South Asia! In the Gulf War, the United States and Pakistan were so good that they wore a pair of pants and organized a coalition force. Now, is the United States going against Pakistan if it turns against each other? Although John did not mention Pakistan, anyone with discerning eyes knows that India was invaded by conspiring invaders, and this invader of course refers to Pakistan!
