Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 672: Eleven-Nation Allied Forces
Sheloff does not need to analyze the macro-problem of nationality. He can imagine where Kissinger will stand. It is impossible for a person to turn a blind eye to his own nation, even if the national interest is the most important thing. Don't deceive your heart. Kissinger's choice to support Israel is normal, and he totally understands it. Because while making plans for the Soviet Union, he is also subconsciously avoiding harming China.
If it wasn't for this idea, he would not interfere in the Indo-Pakistani war at all. When the population of Bangladesh explodes a few decades later, the northeastern areas occupied by China will be infiltrated everywhere. That place is no longer stable. Maybe it will become a drag on China. This is also the reason why many European powers were trying to avoid the disintegration of the Austria-Hungary Empire after the First World War, and the United States must be independent of these countries, which is very convenient for meddling in creating ethnic issues.
The intensity of this kind of Middle East war is far greater than the previous ones, and both sides are prepared to come. But after two days of fighting, almost all the participating countries found that their preparations were still insufficient. If they continued to fight according to the current consumption, the war would not last long, and they would run out of bullets. What an embarrassing situation, this is the sadness that the weapon cannot be produced by itself...
"Mobilize strategic and tactical transport aircraft from major military regions to support Cairo and Damascus. The main purpose of the air force is to help some countries that have not yet reached the front line and transport their troops to Egypt, while the task of the northern line is to quickly replenish Syria. , the weapons consumption of the Jordanian and Iraqi armies. Troops are transported on the southern front, weapons are transported on the northern front." The Secretary of the Central Committee in charge of the military industry, Ustinov, after consulting with Minister of Defense Grechko, issued a statement to the air force of the Soviet armed forces. Order.
The initial offensive of Egypt and Syria caused the Israeli army to suffer a lot of battle losses. Israel urgently needs to supply arms and weapons, otherwise the war situation will collapse. In addition to damaged equipment and parts that need to be replenished, Israel's national ammunition stockpile has also dropped to a very dangerous level. Israel has been through many wars and has good experience with the amount of ammunition storage required, but the consumption of this battle is much higher than any previous battle, and the variety of artillery ammunition used by Israel was not available at the time. capacity, resulting in the supply of ammunition will face the crisis of running out of cooking. The situation at the time of the war and the psychological pressure and panic caused by the consumption exceeding expectations were also one of the reasons why Israel actively asked the United States for assistance.
The Iron Lady of Israel, Mrs. Meir, publicly appealed to other countries, asking for Israel's support, otherwise Israel's annihilation is imminent. At the same time, the Soviet Air Force's transport fleet in the Caucasus, Ukraine, and even Central Asia has already moved in advance, fully loaded with Weapons and ammunition, or directly to South Yemen, Sudan, Libya to help these countries send troops to Egypt. At the airports in these areas, a Soviet transport plane landed in less than an hour. At this time, the Soviet Union's administrative efficiency had already revealed its unintentional, and the United States provided assistance to the Arab coalition before the United States.
"It seems that all the Iron Maidens will be cowardly in the end. Mrs. Meir's statement is not like a tough attitude before the war. If the Americans launch air transport, they will only have air routes through the Mediterranean Sea, neutral European countries to the north, and neutral European countries to the south. It's an endless Arab country, and if it deviates from the line, it is likely to be beaten down by Egypt's anti-aircraft missiles." Serov thought for a while and said, "Comrade Ustinov, do you think Egypt has the courage to do so?"
"In times of war, it's easy to shirk responsibility, there should be, but the United States should also be careful. The possibility is very low." Ustinov pondered for a while. This kind of inference is very logical, and the Americans cannot be regarded as idiots. .
After two days of intense firefights, the Egyptian and Syrian armies began to attack again. The attacks on both the north and the south began at the same time, and the security pressure on Israel increased instantly. In addition to the armies of the two countries, Rahman of the Egyptian Revolutionary Committee came to the There will also be Syrian President General Assad. In order to achieve a breakthrough, he sent his country's most elite troops to the battlefield. The Republican Guard, not only Egypt and Syria, but also Iraq, which is already ruled by the Communist Party.
These countries all had secular governments when they had the Republican Guard. Therefore, the army has the task of maintaining the secularization of the country and opposing theocracy to seize secular power. It has the task of maintaining national unity and opposing tribal armed division.
However, the people affected by the imam and those who are related to the tribal armed forces have the right to enter the army as part of the country, and some tribal armed forces have a designation to maintain the unity of the country in form. So this will weaken the role of the military, so these countries gather the core forces in the military that maintain the secularization of the country to form the Republican Guard, supplemented with the best equipment and treatment, and are deployed around the capital as cronies of strongman rule. , to suppress the traditions of coup d'etat in these countries.
The appearance of the Republican Guards of Egypt, Syria and Iraq indicates that the three countries have put on their last trump card, and the most powerful domestic military force has been dispatched. Together with the Republican Guard, even Iraq, which does not border Israel, has sent more than 100,000 troops into Syria, and support from other Arab countries is also coming.
"In the past few days, Israel's military pressure has been very high. Although the losses of the Arab countries are two or three times that of Israel, the Arab coalition forces are still marching to the front continuously. I believe this situation of isolation and the delay of the United States will definitely If Israel is in a low mood, why is the United States not supporting it? Comrade Andropov, should we scare Israel and let the United States quickly provide support?" After the meeting of the Central Presidium, Serov stopped Andropov road.
"You mean to put a little pressure on Israel to test the reaction of the United States?" Andropov looked thoughtful, and then smiled confidently, "This matter is easy to handle, you can watch it."
"I really want to see what our Communist International Central Secretary will do." Serov tacitly said that Andropov was the head of the Central Liaison Department, and he actually did the same thing as the Comintern back then. , output revolution...
Just as the Arab coalition forces were pressing down on the border, on the fourth day of the war, the Egyptian Revolutionary Committee announced that the Arab coalition headquarters would be established in Egypt. The Revolution and the Iraqi Communist Party newspaper Progress confirmed the news. The participating countries include Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Morocco, Palestine, Pakistan, Libya, and TNS, a total of 11 countries.
"I'm going, Andropov is a great writer, and some Arab countries have already heard the call to destroy Israel? Let me think about it!" Serov in Lubyanka heard the news and fell into a long thought. Then he said, "Immediately let all the departmental activities of your department involving European countries spread this news, and one more thing, spread the word that Israel is about to perish."
"Understood!" Morrigin, director of the First General Bureau, immediately gave a military salute and quickly left the KGB chairman's office.
"Isn't the united Arab countries still intimidating you? I don't believe that the Americans can still hold their breath." Serov stood up and walked to the window, looking at the bronze statue of Dzerzhinsky outside, thinking language.
The news that the commander of the Eleven-Nation Allied Forces was established in Egypt immediately shocked the whole world. But then some news from Arab countries was even more disturbing. There have been crowds marching in some Arab countries, hoping that their own countries can take the opportunity to destroy Israel and take back the territories belonging to the Arabs.
The appearance of this kind of voice shows that the situation has become very serious. The Arab world has changed from retaking the occupied territories to finding ways to restore the status of Palestine, and even overturn the resolutions of the United Nations and drive the Israelis out again.
On the north and south sides of Israel, more than 700,000 troops from Arab countries have gathered. Only about one-third of the armed forces in Egypt and Syria have not been involved in the battle. Iraq has also sent nearly 40% of its troops to Syria. The Arab coalition tanks More than 7,000 vehicles and more than 1,400 planes. In contrast, Israel has mobilized 400,000 people, 2,000 tanks, and 600 aircraft. After the war began, Israel has suffered heavy losses.
This situation and the constant war have made many Western politicians have to seriously consider Mrs. Meir's request for help. If they still just watch, then Israel may really disappear. Once the line of defense collapses and 700,000 to 800,000 Arab troops storm into Israel, who knows if there will be a massacre that will shock the world.
The idea of maintaining neutrality is disappearing, but they still hope that the United States can take a stand first. At this time, in the White House, Nixon, who was deeply troubled by the Watergate incident, looked irritably at Secretary of State Kissinger and Secretary of Defense Schlesinger. The gunfight, originally dealing with the Watergate incident was enough to trouble him, but now there is a problem in the Middle East. The Arab countries have always been united in the face of Israel, and no one dared to be incorrect on this issue.
"Egypt has set up the 11-nation coalition headquarters. The situation in Israel is very dangerous. Mrs. Meir has sent three emergency telegrams for help. We cannot ignore it." Secretary of State Kissinger said earnestly.
"So what can we do? The Soviet Red Navy is gathering in the eastern Mediterranean, and the entire Arab world is putting pressure on us. Are we not considering the diplomatic consequences?" Defense Minister Schlesinger has already surpassed Kissinger on this issue. Several times.
"Europe's attitude has loosened. They think that they can't watch Israel perish. We already have supporters. If we don't act, Israel may really become history." Kissinger said another piece of good news. (To be continued~^~)
