Chapter 1126 Information Warfare

Joint Forces Supreme Command.

"Tell me, why didn't you shut down the Iraqi Internet?" Commander-in-Chief Tommy Franks asked angrily.

This war has included information warfare from the beginning.

The U.S. military launched information warfare against Iraq before the air strikes were launched.

Before George Walker issued the order to attack Iraq, the U.S. Joint Information Operations Center had already taken action on the battlefield of information warfare, using electronic warfare and psychological warfare weapons to launch a large-scale propaganda war against Iraq.

U.S. cyber warfare experts launched an email attack on Iraq. They sent a large number of emails to Iraq's political, military and economic leaders, asking them to break with Saddam. They even selected some Iraqi officials and called their personal mobile phones.

The U.S. military dropped 8 million leaflets on Iraq, warning Iraqi air defense missile officers and soldiers that if they tracked or attacked U.S. and British fighter jets, their bunkers would be destroyed. The leaflets also warned Iraqi ground forces: Only surrender can survive.

In addition, the U.S. Air Force EC-130E special warfare aircraft broadcast to the Iraqi public in Arabic and imitated local radio stations. It can imitate the broadcasts of the popular "Voice of Youth" radio station. This station is controlled by Saddam's son Uday. These broadcasts greet in Arabic, and then play European pop music from the 1980s, American rock music, etc. to cater to the tastes of young Iraqi soldiers. Then the special warfare aircraft will broadcast the official position of the United States, stating that the war against Iraq is against Saddam rather than the Iraqi people.

Planners at the US Central Command hope to rely on a variety of information means to conduct the war, including electronic bombs that attack power equipment, communication systems and computer networks, as well as deception and psychological warfare, in order to shake the morale of the Iraqi army and the people, so as to achieve victory without fighting.

In this war against Iraq, the US military used three types of electronic reconnaissance aircraft to launch information warfare against Iraq. They are: EC-130H radar jammer, RC-135 electronic broadcast and monitoring aircraft, and modified C-130 latest performance electronic jammer. In addition to jamming and monitoring functions, these aircraft can also send false target information to Iraqi radar stations.

In order to obtain information about electronic information warfare, the US Joint Information Operations Center in Texas, USA, sent a special team to the US Central Command to participate in the war against Iraq.

But at present, the effect is not obvious.

In theory, the Internet in Iraq should be paralyzed now.

But in fact, the Internet in Iraq is still running, and the war in Iraq can continue to send the latest news to the world.

In Iraq, people can still learn about the war by listening to the radio, TV, and the Internet. When they see the atrocities of the invaders, the Iraqi people are indignant and full of anger towards the invaders.

And all over the world, when seeing the missiles of the joint forces destroying hospitals, nursing homes, orphanages, and schools, they are only angry about the joint forces, and do not think that the joint forces are a just force at all.

Where is the righteous army that will bomb hospitals, nursing homes, and orphanages! ?

"Commander, we have cut off the Internet in Iraq, but you have to know that there are two Internet worlds in this world!" Commander Leberas, who is responsible for information warfare, shrugged and said, "We didn't consider this."

"Then cut off that Internet!" Tommy Franks said without hesitation.

Liberas spread his hands, "They won't listen to us, the Internet of Dongda won't listen to our commands!"

Underground command and combat center.

Sadm was wearing a military uniform and holding an AK47 in his hand. He was recording a video.

Sadm called on the Iraqi people to bravely fight against the invaders and never surrender, and said that he would live and die with Iraq.

In addition, Sadm also exposed the true face of the United States and its lackeys to the world.

After recording the video, Sadm contacted Rashid on the front line.

In order to block the ground forces of the joint forces, Sadm sent Rashid, the second-in-command of the Iraqi military, to the Kurdish mountains to command the Iraqi army there.

As long as the Kurdish mountains are defended, the ground forces of the joint forces will not be able to enter Iraq to fight.

But once the defense line in the Kurdish mountains is breached, the ground forces of the joint forces will continue to enter Iraq.

In addition, except for the Kurdish mountains, the Iraqi army in other strategic locations has relaxed.

Even mobile forces were deployed. Once the joint forces used airdropped paratroopers, the Iraqi army would attack immediately and eliminate the paratroopers.

Rashid reported the current situation on the front to Saddam, believing that the joint ground forces would not be able to launch an attack from this direction in the next ten days.

Saddam breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this place was defended, Iraq would have the confidence to continue fighting.

In the final analysis, the war still had to be occupied by ground forces.

Then Saddam contacted the navy. The navy's heroic fighting had achieved great results, but Saddam needed to ensure that the joint marines would not launch an attack from the coastal area.

As for the air force, the Iraqi air force had suffered heavy losses and was no longer able to fight in Turkey or the Persian Gulf. It could only cooperate with the air defense forces to guard Iraq's airspace.

What made Saddam very happy was that volunteers from other Arab countries came one after another, and some even drove anti-aircraft missile vehicles loaded with missiles, and some drove fighter jets.

"Victory must belong to Iraq!" Saddam clenched his fists.

The United States.

George Walker frowned. After the outbreak of the Iraq War, the war progress of the joint forces was very slow and quite unsatisfactory, which was very different from the results of the war game simulation.

The war game simulation was conducted more than a dozen times, and the results were unexpectedly that the US military won a big victory every time.

George Walker was not without pressure to bypass the United Nations and unilaterally declare war on Iraq and launch the Iraq War. On the contrary, he was under great pressure.

Not everyone in the United States agreed with this war. After all, the US military did not bring enough body bags in the Gulf War, and suffered heavy casualties, which are still fresh in their memory.

The pensions and subsidies for US soldiers who died or were disabled in the war have never stopped for so many years.

Who knows how much the US military will have to pay to conquer Iraq this time.

Especially this time, the US military is going to achieve military occupation of Iraq, which is a huge difference from the Gulf War.

Whenever the news of unsuccessful progress on the battlefield comes back, the pressure on George Walker will increase.

If the war turns into a long-term war like Afghanistan, it will definitely not be good news for the United States.

George Walker is waiting to end the Iraq War, and use the victory to send troops to Libya to control this country with a lot of oil and natural gas. (End of this chapter)
