Chapter 390 Watching the Battle
After sorting out his thoughts, Andre suddenly realized that the US invasion of Iran might not be a bad thing for them.
Because Iran’s hatred towards the United States is now the most intense. Iranians attribute all the suffering they have endured since the White Revolution to the actions of the Pahlavi government, and Pahlavi was a puppet supported by the United States. So, fundamentally speaking, it is because of the United States that the Iranian people are so poor!
Why did they attack the US embassy instead of other places? It is because the hatred between Iran and the US is irreconcilable! Now, the US is also angry and wants to send troops to attack Iran. This is the best. Let's see how the US and Iran fight!
It not only consumes the strength of the United States, but also consumes the strength of Iran. When the Americans can no longer win and withdraw their troops, they will instigate Iraq to take action, and then it will be easy to destroy Iran. It is equivalent to the United States giving its own side the first shot!
Of course, all of this is based on a premise, that is, the United States cannot succeed! If the United States successfully controls Iran, the consequences will be disastrous. Unlike in the past, if the United States defeats Iran this time, it will definitely station troops in Iran! In addition to being able to obtain a steady supply of Iranian oil, the United States can also plant a nail in the south of the Soviet Union! This nail will make the Soviet Union uneasy. The advantages brought by the situation created in the Far East will disappear!
Therefore, the Soviet high-level officials attached great importance to it and originally planned to assist Iran, but unfortunately Iran did not appreciate it!
Now, hearing Andrei say so confidently that the United States could not occupy Iran, Andropov became interested and asked Andrei: "Andrei, can you tell me more about it?"
"Yes, General Secretary." Andre cleared his throat and continued to follow his own thoughts: "Since I went to the Turkestan Military Region, I have been studying and analyzing Iran across from us. This country is different from us. It believes in Islam, and many people are fanatical believers. They dare to do anything for the truth they advocate. For example, in order to clear the minefield, they dare to roll over with their own bodies. In order to occupy the position, they can rush forward shouting slogans! Such a nation is quite terrifying."
Andre's words calmed everyone down. They were all guessing what Andre said. Such a nation is of course terrible! When the Soviet Union was first established, the Red Army soldiers were in this state. They were invincible!
"So, the Americans may be able to move smoothly at the beginning of the war, but they cannot always maintain their advantage. As time goes by, the disadvantages of the United States will be revealed. They are well-equipped and have advanced weapons, but they are afraid of death. Too many people die, and the United States cannot afford it. Although Iran does not have advanced weapons and does not have the military ability to challenge the United States, they have people and are not afraid of death. If they arrive later, they can even tie explosives to their bodies and run to the Americans to detonate them! Therefore, the final result is that the Americans will definitely leave in disgrace, just like the battlefield in Vietnam before! At this time, Iran's strength has been greatly weakened. Those most determined and crazy believers have been killed. Moreover, Iran's extreme rule will cause a considerable number of people to be disgusted, and our plan will be able to proceed more smoothly. If we are to be frank, we originally planned to use Iraq to consume Iran's strength, but now, the Americans have taken the initiative to jump over and take the lead for us. We should welcome them and support them spiritually behind the scenes."
Carter made a bad move! In the future, even the arrogant Bush, ******, no matter who it is, never thought of using force to deal with the Iranians. Now, Carter actually did it. The future will definitely give him an objective evaluation! Is he an American hero or an American sinner?
"Andrei, your analysis is good." Andropov nodded after listening to Andrei's analysis. What Andrei said was similar to what he thought. Did the Americans really think they could rule the Persians? Dream on.
"Then, can we do something?" Ustinov said.
"I have an idea," Andre said. "As the relationship between Iran and the United States deteriorates, it will become increasingly difficult for the Iranians to maintain their Tomcat fighters. We already have a Tomcat fighter, so we can reverse-engineer the vulnerable parts inside and export them to Iran through arms smuggling."
Can the Iranians still maintain those complex Tomcat fighters? Andre is skeptical about this. Such a favor must be helped!
"But is it appropriate to do so? If the Iranian Tomcat fighter jets are restored, will they pose a threat to us in the future?" asked Ustinov.
"Of course not. We can solidify some viruses into the electronic components we export to them." Andre said, "With the Iranians' technology, they will definitely not be able to find it. When the time comes, when they fight us, their fighter planes will become a pile of scrap aluminum."
Andre certainly knew that the strength of the Tomcat fighter was the combination of AWG-9 and Phoenix. A powerful radar like AWG-9 has an average trouble-free time of only a few hours, so there must be a lot of vulnerable parts to be replaced! If in the past, the Soviet Union absolutely did not have such capabilities, but now it is different. The reverse-engineered APG-67 radar has been fully developed and is ready to be replaced by the MiG-29, and the Su-27 will use an improved larger radar. Therefore, after obtaining the Iranian Tomcat, the technicians have already begun to study and understand the principle of this radar. Combining these technologies, a large radar suitable for the Su-27 can be improved. It is also possible to copy some internal components of the AWG-9. Implanting some viruses inside is a gift to the Iranians. I don’t know if I am the first person in the world to launch a virus war.
"Virus?" Obviously, few people in this era know about this kind of thing.
"Yes, the computer virus was implanted into the computer system of the Iranian Tomcat fighter!" Andre said, "Our technicians will definitely be able to develop it. Now, let's see for ourselves how powerful the Americans were in the late 1970s!"
The Americans' operation will also give the Soviet Union some inspiration, allowing the Soviet Union to carry out military reforms more quickly! Marshal Ogarkov's military reform must continue!
