August 9th, night at the Prime Minister Mansion in the Imperial Capital.
In the afternoon, Zhou Yongtao received a call from Shi Shouliang from the front lines, planning to complete the first phase of the "all-out" operation in one week, which had been basically accomplished in less than 3 days, meaning the large-scale concentrated bombing would officially conclude at the dawn of the 10th.
The next step would focus on weakening Iraq's military strength as the priority.
The aerial strikes went so smoothly, which was intimately linked to the enormous investments made.
Among them, the key was the use of cruise missiles, which had increased in quantity several times over.
In these less than 3 days, about 1,500 cruise missiles had been used, with over 800 fired just on the first day of the operation.
Actually, when planning, no one thought that so many cruise missiles would be used!
