British civil servant

However, the Iraqi Air Force, which is equally powerful in the Arab world, entered the war so soon, which was unexpected.

Moreover, the offensive in the Sinai Peninsula was not smooth, so he had to choose a more risky style of play, and was attacked by tactical missiles just now.Egypt and Syria, one from the south and the other from the north, announced the need for general mobilization at the very beginning, and the statement that they wanted to prolong the war was even more worrying.

After only one day of fighting, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Yemen later joined the war or expressed their intention to join the war. More Arab countries expressed their willingness to provide financial and military support. More than a dozen Arab countries The unanimous statement, and even the solidarity of countries that are not Arabs, but the Peace Church, have brought unprecedented pressure to Israel.

Coincidentally, Alan Wilson was also talking about the direction of the war on the first day. To be honest, it was only one day and the war was still in the fog. It was stewed by a spoonful.

"There are five Arab countries that have clearly participated in the war. The relationship between the United Kingdom, Jordan and Iraq is not bad. As for Syria and Yemen, they belong to the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson said to his wife in a narrative tone, "There are also many Arab countries. The country expressed that it would donate money and materials to help the warring countries purchase armaments. Both Libya and Kuwait expressed their views.”

"So many countries?" Pamela Mountbatten asked after thinking for a while, "What about Oman, didn't we just talk about it before, and Oman didn't express his position."

"No, the country of Oman is not a stakeholder, but it has also expressed support at the diplomatic level." Alan Wilson nodded and said, "If Kemal hadn't abolished the caliphate, saying that the caliphate declared jihad against Israel would be Someone believed it."

Regarding the abolition of the caliphate by Kemal, although he was the sultan and caliph of the Ottoman Empire, the Arabs in later generations viewed this matter as obviously polarized.

Some Arabs believe that Kemal abolished the spiritual co-owner caliph of the Peace Church, which greatly weakened the cohesion of the Peace Church, but if it is not abolished, the Caliph is a Turkic, so...

The last person who still wants to restore the caliphate system is also related to this Middle East war. It is the father of the king of Egypt, the previous king Farouk I.But what if Farouk I became the caliphate?

There is always something detrimental to the authority of the caliph. The second occupation of the caliph is a thief?

"Honey, who do you think will win, and Israel will lose?" Pamela Mountbatten asked. The richest woman doesn't think that the supreme authority is exhaustive, but it's her husband who doesn't ask her husband?

"Israel will not fail. As for who can achieve a more favorable situation and peace talks, in the final analysis, we still have to fight a ground war." Alan Wilson shook his head. He never thought that Israel would fail. It is a disaster for everyone in Israel to be impeached equally. Right around the corner, Israel will shine.

In addition to the choice of Israel's defeat, Alan Wilson's iron tortoise line of defense is to prevent Israel from living too smoothly. Israel, which is not very arrogant, has more value for offshore balance.

As night fell, the countries participating in the war were not idle. They were all using diplomatic means to win over their supporters. Not to mention anything else, the King of Egypt had already explained through the Paris embassy the serious losses of the Egyptian Air Force due to Israel's shameless sneak attack. Appealed to the British government through the London embassy, ​​Israel's presence in the Sinai peninsula

Military operations pose a huge threat to the safety of the Suez Canal.

Egypt's diplomacy is of course fruitful, especially among the Arab countries. King Idris I of Libya has announced that Libya will contribute to help Egypt rebuild its air force, and has ordered the fighter pilots of the Libyan Air Force to fly to Egypt to supplement the kingdom of Egypt because Losses from Israeli air strikes.

The behavior of Idris I has made the Arab world respectful. The Al Jazeera TV station established by Vivien Leigh has already expressed his admiration for Idris I in the news.

Although it was not as exciting as a big victory on the battlefield, it was enough to make Arabs sing the praises of the act of unity.

So far, the battle on the ground and in the sky has been fierce, but the sea is temporarily calm.Fuad II is preparing to meet King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, hoping to gain greater support.

The first thousand and 460 chapters and two sea battles

According to the official words of Egypt, this war originated from Israel's shameless sneak attack. Although the cause was the diversion of the Jordan River, is Israel not responsible at all?

What's more, the countries involved in the diversion of the Jordan River are mainly Syria and Jordan. Egypt just supported two Arab brothers as the leader of the Arab alliance. Is this wrong?

But for this reason, Israel launched a war against the Arab world by means of sneak attacks and deceit, and the Kingdom of Egypt is still the main direction of Israel's attack.

From the beginning of the war, the orders issued by Fuad II and his uncompromising statement were recognized by most Egyptian citizens. The visit to Saudi Arabia on the second day of the war was also to better establish a united front for the war against Israel. Also recognized by Egyptian citizens.

Just before Fouad II's departure, the Egyptian official announced a message through the radio. Morocco announced that it would send a combat brigade to participate in the war and would arrive in Egypt by sea.Morocco becomes the sixth country to join the war,

By the time they arrived in Riyadh, the news that the Iraqi army had assembled and marched towards Jordan and Syria had spread throughout the Arab world. Less than 48 hours after the start of the war, the Kingdom of Kuwait declared war on Israel. Sal meets.

Fuad II made no secret of his hope that Saudi Arabia could support this war in the Arab world. King Faisal expressed his understanding, but not at the cost of damaging relations with the United States.

The negative impact of severing diplomatic relations is too great, but King Faisal said that he will unite all possible joint experiences to support Egypt, and Saudi Arabia can unite with oil-producing countries to initiate an oil embargo against the United States.

"We did this to support Pakistan when the India-Pakistan war started, and it worked out very well. But to be honest, we can stop doing it because there is no indication that the United States will do anything to Israel after the war starts. Aid. You can let the wind out first and let the United States choose between Israel and the Arab world."

After hearing this, Fuad II hesitated, and King Faisal said directly when he saw this reaction, "Your Majesty, Saudi Arabia is willing to call on all Arab brothers to rebuild the Egyptian Air Force. Although it may be because of military strength, Saudi Arabia may not be able to provide much help on the battlefield, but it will definitely not shy away from diplomatic and economic help."

"Okay!" Fuad II finally nodded. Although Egypt took back the Suez Canal and built the Aswan Dam, but because of its own population problems, it is not very rich financially, especially with oil-producing countries like Saudi Arabia. countries cannot compare.

Although the Egyptian Air Force killed more than 40 invading Israeli fighter jets, it paid several times the price and almost existed in name only. Rebuilding the Egyptian Air Force is another big expense.

King Faisal breathed a sigh of relief, and after reaching a consensus, he and Fuad II joined hands and appeared in front of the waiting people, announcing, "Saudi Arabia stands on the side of all Arab countries and treats all fraternal countries participating in the war equally. support and is willing to help Egypt rebuild its air force."

The king of Egypt and the king of Saudi Arabia stood shoulder to shoulder, demonstrating the unity of the Arab world, and the subsequent influence brought by it cannot be underestimated.A few hours after the meeting between the two kings, Pakistan, Iran, Sudan, and Uganda successively expressed their stances, criticizing Israel for initiating the war, and stated that if their nationals participated in the war on their own, they would not be interfered.

All kinds of news in the Middle East are naturally spread to London by embassies around the world. Alan Wilson is holding a meeting in Whitehall, and said with a smile, "It seems that the peace religion countries whose names can be heard have already stood up, but it seems Iran? That’s the end of the stance, just unwilling to stand on the opposite side of the Arab world. Pahlavi has a very good relationship with the United States, and Iran is one of the two thugs for the interests of the United States in the Middle East.”

"Saudi Arabia's statement is very surprising. We thought Saudi Arabia would stay out of the matter." Wicker replied, "As for Iran, colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also agree with what the Secretary-General said."

"Saudi Arabia has its own ambitions. This country is lame. It has oil revenue but its military power is not worth mentioning. If you want to exert your influence, you need to work harder. African countries like Pakistan and Uganda The statement made by the Arab countries of the Church of Peace can be understood as the influence brought about by King Faisal after meeting with King Fuad II to reach a consensus."

In any case, almost all peace religion countries that can be heard frequently have expressed their voices against Israel, except for Algeria, which is occupied by France.

France has not expressed its position yet, but Alan Wilson estimates that France will stand on the side of the Arab countries to a certain extent.

If Algeria is counted as part of France, although it has been devastated by many years of war, there are still many Algerians left.It is possible for France to stand on the side of Israel, but it is also possible to stand on the side of Arab countries in order to maintain stability.

You must know that the countries participating in the war are not only purely Arab countries, but there is also a small country that has been involved in the flames of war for the first time. This country still has a comparative advantage among Christians.

This country is Lebanon, which joined the war on the first day of the war, and this country is also inextricably linked with France.Lebanon is just over 50.00% Christian and belongs to the Christian Maronites. Lebanon and Syria are both former French colonies.

In the [-]th century, France sent troops to Lebanon in the name of Europe to quell the conflict. It also sent missionaries to the local area, established French schools, and managed Lebanon as a liberator. During this period, a large number of French people immigrated to Lebanon, and French became the local official language. .

After World War I, the entire Greater Syria became a French colony, and the establishment of Lebanon was naturally related to France.

There are also a considerable number of peace believers in Lebanon, which is similar to the situation in France. Now they have joined the war. France is likely to stand on the side of the Arab countries to some extent like this former colony. Otherwise, the peace believers in North Africa may There will be trouble.

Thinking this way may be a bit of appeasement, but appeasement is never an unforgivable crime. Whoever wants to get angry, if the country is being held hostage, of course there is no way.

If France is on the side of the Arab countries, what is Britain's position?This is the core of this discussion. In consideration of interests, the current relationship between the UK and the Arab countries is obviously closer.

If France also supports Arab countries, the situation in the Middle East will be very interesting. The Soviet Union also has a hand in the Middle East, both in Yemen and Syria.

"In fact, the most important thing is the Saudi side's statement on the oil embargo. Of course we cannot sit idly by this threat, so we must not stand on Israel's side." If the supreme authority is not easy to say, Wick can do it for him, and said This is the unanimous opinion of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

I believe that now not only London is discussing how to stand in line, but the White House in Washington and the Kremlin in Moscow are also discussing the situation in the Middle East. How to stand in line depends on the development of the war.

Facing the dozens of missile boats dispatched by Egypt, the Israeli navy, which is more robust and powerful, naturally cannot sit still, although more than a year ago, the Indian navy had already proved the effectiveness of the missile boats in its actions against the Pakistani navy. Power, but the distant Asia is too far away for Israel, which itself is a small country with few people.

Moreover, the Egyptian navy is actually not weak. There is an aircraft carrier sold by the United Kingdom in service, but it has been waiting for a long time in Sunnibal, East Africa. This is the same as the aircraft carrier of the Kingdom of Iraq. The coastline of the Kingdom of Iraq is only so small, and an aircraft carrier is too conspicuous. .

The aircraft carrier of the Egyptian Navy could not be used in the Mediterranean Sea. The two countries were completely sold by the British enthusiastic door-to-door sales, and only received the big guy with a small size of [-] tons.

The existence of aircraft carriers in the Egyptian navy has led Israel to face imaginary enemies with the standards of a major navy. Think about how the Egyptian aircraft carrier can fight against it. How can there be research on air-to-missile boats?

However, the aircraft carriers of the Egyptian Navy will basically not stay in their own ports. They pretend to be Arab leaders in the Sultanate of Zanzibar every day. When the war breaks out, the main force of the Egyptian Navy will become missile boats.

The Israeli destroyer Eilat is on routine patrol in the Gulf of Mana outside Port Said, Egypt.This type of destroyer with a full load displacement of 120 tons, five [-]mm naval guns, and five [-]mm cannons is definitely a "giant ship" with powerful firepower in the Middle East.

The destroyer "Eilat" was originally a destroyer built by the United Kingdom in history, and was sold to Israel after the Suez Canal War.

But obviously the relationship between Britain and Israel in this world is not so familiar, and the Suez Canal War did not break out, and Britain did not sell its warships to Israel.

In this world, the destroyer "Eilat" of Israel has become the Fletcher class of the United States

next page!Current Page 1/ Total 2 Pages

Destroyer, the Fletcher class destroyer is the most equipped destroyer of the US Navy in World War II.Currently in the decommissioning cycle, the U.S. Navy’s annual decline of hundreds of thousands of tons is also partly due to the Fletcher-class destroyers.

Because the Egyptian aircraft carrier is far away in East Africa, the Israeli Navy dismissed the dispatched missile boats and sent the navy to break through the so-called blockade of Egypt.

At this moment, an observer on board the "Eilat" suddenly noticed a bright light flashing in the direction of Port Said, and then recognized the tail flame drawn by the solid booster of the anti-ship missile, so he quickly rang alarm.Although the artillerymen on duty on the ship aimed at the oncoming missiles with five [-]mm machine guns, they didn't have time to fire...

The French-made AS missile suddenly pulled up, and then dived straight towards the "Eilat", blasting a large hole in the middle of its hull and hitting the boiler room.About 1 minute later, the second missile flew in the air and hit the main cabin of the "Eilat". The entire power system of the "Eilat" was completely paralyzed, and the communication system was also damaged. It was floating on the water of the Mediterranean Sea like a dead fish.

Just as the sailors on the "Eilat" were still lingering, a third missile flew in again and hit the stern of the ship.At this time, the broken hull of the "Eilat" could no longer support it, and immediately tilted and turned over, sinking into the seabed at a depth of 60 meters.The sailors on board jumped into the sea to escape.However, the Egyptian Navy's lingering hatred still persisted, and it immediately fired a fourth missile, which exploded just as the lifeboat of the "Eilat" was started.

The first thousand and 460 chapter three for help

Protests over the sinking of the Israeli destroyer and Mrs. Meir's announcement of Israel's second wave of mobilization arrived in London at the same time.

In the eyes of the free world, missile boats, which are standard equipment for poor countries’ navies, have finally achieved their second iconic victory in front of the whole world. India’s victory in Pakistan is still relatively unconvincing.

Wick conveyed the Israeli ambassador's protest to the supreme authority in front of him. He also knew that the original manufacturer of this extremely rare catamaran missile boat belonged to the supreme authority's wife, Ms. Pamela Mountbatten.I don't know what explanation Alan Wilson will make.

"We feel sad for what happened to Israel, but the missiles on the missile boat are more important. This ship was made by the United Kingdom, but the Royal Navy is obviously not enthusiastic, and it has not developed the anti-ship missiles on board. In order to export to Egypt, we still The as anti-ship missiles ordered from France made the deal. We also hope that the Israeli side can understand this.”

Alan Wilson, in a tone that had nothing to do with me, completely ignored the relationship between the sinking of the Israeli destroyer and the United Kingdom. If anyone is to blame, France should be blamed. The United Kingdom has long been unable to achieve a large and comprehensive industrial system.

Regardless of the tonnage of the British Royal Navy, which is the second largest in the world, with a tonnage of more than 200 million tons, aircraft carriers and battleships seem to have everything that one can expect. He has been fully promoting these places that cannot be saved.

However, the most advanced heavy-duty aircraft carrier carries a group of artillery frigates. It has been around for more than ten years, and the UK has just begun to build the replacement shield ship. It is quite hard for the Royal Navy to maintain its current scale.

Specific to the types of missiles, strategic missiles for nuclear wars cannot be spared, and it is also impossible to have swords without shields. The UK also insists on domestically produced air defense missile systems.

But other missiles? The as anti-ship missile was jointly developed with France, and the air-to-air missile used was a similar product imported from the United States. Why is the battle between the Iraqi Air Force and the Israeli Air Force so boring?

Because the Israeli ghosts use rattlesnakes and sparrows, the air-to-air missiles used by the Iraqi Air Force are also rattlesnakes and sparrows, but they are carried on different combat platforms.

The Royal Navy manufactures its own platform, and its combat systems are produced nationwide, but many of the specific weapons are not developed by the UK itself, and the weapons of the Royal Air Force are almost the same.

If you don't believe Israel, you can ask European countries which country produced the AS anti-ship missiles. They all say that it is France and has nothing to do with the United Kingdom.

If Israel wants to retaliate, although Alan Wilson can't change specific weapons, he can tell Israel friendly that armed helicopters are actually a good way to deal with missile boats.What?Israel doesn't have a helicopter carrier?That can't be helped.

Israel does have a helicopter formation, but at this time Israel is using land aviation helicopters to attack the Sinai Peninsula. The loss at sea is certainly heartbreaking, but Israel understands that the outcome of the war depends on land.

Britain built two anti-aircraft towers at that time to protect the Suez Canal from the interference of the war. This 70-meter-long, wide, and high-height steel and cement cube has a huge engineering volume, which is already half the height of the Khufu Pyramid. These anti-aircraft towers are all built. The two anti-aircraft towers are roughly located on the east bank of the north and south ends of the Suez Canal, and the anti-aircraft tower at the southern end is in the city of Suez to protect the city of Suez.

As long as the anti-aircraft towers are not lost in this way, the Egyptian army will have a fulcrum for counterattack. The remaining fortified towns are actually just some towns transplanted from the Khrushchev Tower. These towns are definitely more suitable for fighting than the communities in European and American countries. Street fighting, but certainly not comparable to anti-aircraft towers.

After Israel hit a wall at the Arish air defense tower, it knew that such a fortress could not be conquered in a short time. The Egyptian army in the Sinai Peninsula has 15 troops, and it is impossible to rely on strongholds to defend them. In fact, the US spy satellite photos also prove that With this in mind, Egyptian forces with two armored divisions were being assembled.

The Israeli Ministry of Defense quickly adjusted its offensive strategy. The Air Force selected two towns on the only way to bombard them indiscriminately, opened a passage to the hinterland of the Sinai Peninsula, and annihilated the two Egyptian armored divisions, hoping to lay a solid foundation for the war. In the Sinai Peninsula, the longer the time, the more dangerous the direction of Jordan and Syria.

The Israeli helicopter unit carried infantry and landed in the rear of the Egyptian army, thereby disrupting the Egyptian rear command system in one fell swoop.

Outside of the battlefield, Israel is also trying to win the support of Europe, America, and especially the United States through diplomatic efforts. There has been a lot of movement in the Arab camp. The countries that can report the name of the Peace Church either directly participate in the war, or want to express assistance The warring states, at worst, also criticized Israel for its aggressiveness, the latest being the Sultanate of Sannibar.

It is the island of Zanzibar that is used by the United Kingdom to balance off the coast of East Africa. The aircraft carriers of Iraq and Egypt are permanently stationed in this island country. The Sudan of Zanzibar enjoys the service of two Arab powers all the time. This blessing is still small Well?

It is precisely for this reason that the two big brothers participated in the war against Israel. Of course, the Sultanate of Zanzibar has to express it, but the Sultanate of Zanzibar is only an island, and it is not a resource country. It can only be expressed in the international community Take a stand.

With such a big momentum created by the Arab side, Israel can't be idle, and mainly puts its diplomatic work on Europe and the United States, especially the United States, which is the strongest in the free world.

The reason is that the Arab countries want to cut off the water source of the Jordan River, and they basically want to destroy Israel. This war was provoked by the Arab side, but no guns were used.

In order to ensure the survival of the nation, Israel had to put all its eggs in one basket to prevent the genocidal behavior of the Arab League.

It cannot be said that Israel’s statement is completely unreasonable. The “Final Protocol of the Vienna Conference” concluded during the Napoleon period stipulated the free navigation and unified taxation of “rivers flowing through different countries”, and declared that the Rhine and several other rivers Subject to the freedom of navigation and other regime constraints.

After successive international conferences, the power of international rivers has been continuously improved. In [-], the International Law Association passed the "Rules for the Utilization of International Rivers" in Helsinki, and put forward several new concepts and principles, which became a very important issue in the field of international rivers law. Affected files.

The document clearly stipulates that an international river basin refers to the entire geographical area within the boundary line of water systems across two or more countries, including surface water and groundwater flowing to the same terminal in the area.

Water disputes are also included in this convention. Although the United States has never cared about any international conventions, the dispute between the United States and Mexico on the Colorado River and the Rio Grande fully demonstrates that the United States has a justified style of fist, but isn't that the United States? International conventions Can't control America.

But the United States says it can manage other countries. For most countries in the world, this is the truth.

There is no doubt that the scale of the Middle East war this time far exceeds the one in [-], and even Alan Wilson feels that it exceeds the fourth Middle East war in his mind.

The war was fought very fiercely at the very beginning, and it was Saddam Hussein who fired Scud missiles at Israeli cities.

With the current intensity, it is not known when the stocks of participating countries will be emptied. Although Israel has a certain production capacity, it is still too much to cope with such a large-scale war.Israel's request for help now essentially hopes that foreign aid will help.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has become the busiest department again, but having said that, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been very busy since the first day of the war, and the attitude towards Israel's request for help has become the core of the discussion.

Whitehall's opinions cannot offend the Arab world, especially since Saudi Arabia has already issued a warning of an oil embargo, and standing on Israel's side will pay a high price.If Britain has completely lost its influence in the Middle East, it would be acceptable to take a common position with the United States.

The war with Israel is the political correctness of the Arab world. Does Britain care about Jordan and Iraq, two countries armed with British weapons?Not to mention the two feudal emirates of Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, which are extremely rich.The UK cannot afford this loss.

"And we doubt the true position of Saudi Arabia. For a long time, we have believed that Saudi Arabia is a pro-American country, and they are in fact. If an oil embargo is imposed on Europe and the United States, the United States actually has sufficient natural resources to deal with oil price increases. , but on the European side? North Sea oil, French oil in Algeria, and the Gulf of Guinea farther away, can they add up to fill up the usage of European countries?" Alan Wilson took the output of several oil producing areas Data, said before the cabinet ministers, "The most important thing is that the countries around the Gulf of Guinea are either independent or at war, such as the Portuguese African colonies."

"Will these independent countries stand with the Middle East for the benefit of rising oil prices? Our influence is compared with adding money? Well, it is best not to have this choice."

The meaning of Alan Wilson is very simple. This kind of choice may produce results that no one wants to see.

"According to our intelligence, it can now be concluded that both the Arish air defense tower and the Suez air defense tower are in the hands of Egypt. We wanted to build two air defense towers at the beginning because we considered that the Suez Canal would be free from the threat of war. As long as these two air defense towers The anti-aircraft towers and the cities of Arish and Suez are in the hands of Egypt, and the Sinai Peninsula cannot be said to be completely occupied. And the long sword air defense missile systems of the two anti-aircraft towers are also in operation. Although the Egyptian Air Force has existed in name only, the prevention and control system is still in place Operation. The Israeli Air Force has not been able to bomb the Egyptian Army in the Sinai Peninsula indiscriminately."

At this moment, Kissinger, who had just met with the Israeli ambassador, was anxiously waiting for Nixon to appear. Nixon was still fighting with the judiciary, but the situation in Israel no longer allowed the United States to stand idly by.

At this moment, only the United States can save Israel. The entire international community, facing the unanimous accusations of all Arab countries, Israel has been isolated unprecedentedly.

The first thousand and 460 chapters and four to get the UK

At this moment, only the United States can save Israel. The entire international community, facing the unanimous accusations of all Arab countries, Israel has been isolated unprecedentedly.

Not long after, Nixon, who was being chased and bitten by the judicial department, appeared. The two sides were still in a stalemate about the tape. From Nixon's face, it was clear that the development of the Watergate incident did not make him happy.

Kissinger understood Nixon’s difficulties, but he had to introduce the latest situation. This time the Middle East war was undoubtedly tragic. Although Israel severely damaged the Egyptian Air Force at the beginning of the war, it also dealt a huge blow to the Jordanian and Syrian air forces. kill.

But in the process, it also suffered certain losses. In addition to the subsequent fighting with the Iraqi Air Force, the Israeli Air Force lost more than one-third of its aircraft and almost lost half of its combat power.

Compared with the Arab League, Israel cannot gain an advantage in numbers, even in the air force. Israel, which has killed [-] fighter jets of the Arab League, has also paid the loss of hundreds of fighter jets. Of course, these pilots are also in bad luck The latest situation is that Su-style fighter jets of the Yemeni Air Force have appeared over the Sinai Peninsula.

Moreover, both Morocco and Libya have indicated that they will send their fighter jets to Egypt, so that the Egyptian Air Force will have fighter jets available again.
