British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1462: naval battle

, the fastest update of British civil servants! According to Egypt's official words, this war stemmed from a shameless sneak attack by Israel. Although the cause was the diversion of the Jordan River, Israel has no responsibility at all?

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

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

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

Just before Fuad II set off, the Egyptian official announced a message through the radio that Morocco announced that a combat brigade would be sent to participate in the war, which would arrive in Egypt by sea. Morocco became the sixth country to enter the war,

When they arrived in Riyadh, the Iraqi army had assembled and the news of its march to Jordan and Syria had already spread throughout the Arab world. Less than 48 hours after the war started, the Kingdom of Kuwait declared war on Israel. Thrall meets.

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

The negative impact of breaking diplomatic relations is too great, but King Faisal said that he will combine all the experiences that can be combined to support Egypt, and Saudi Arabia can jointly launch an oil embargo against the United States with oil-producing countries.

“We did this in support of Pakistan when the Indo-Pakistani war started, and it worked well. But honestly we could not do it for now, because there is no indication that the United States will attack Israel after the war begins. Aid. Let the wind blow first and let the U.S. choose between Israel and the Arab world.”

After listening to Fuad II, he hesitated. King Faisal saw this reaction and said directly, "Your Majesty, Saudi Arabia is willing to call on all Arab brothers to rebuild the Egyptian Air Force. Although it may be due to military problems, Saudi Arabia may not be able to provide much help on the battlefield, but it will never shy away from diplomatic and economic help.”

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

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

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

The king of Egypt and the king of Saudi Arabia stood side by side, demonstrating the unity of the Arab world, and the subsequent influence brought by them should not be underestimated. A few hours after the meeting between the two kings, Pakistan, Iran, Sudan, and Uganda successively expressed their positions, criticizing Israel's behavior of launching a war, and saying that if their nationals participate in the war on their own, they will not be interfered.

All kinds of news from the Middle East were naturally spread to London by embassies around the world. Alan Wilson was holding a meeting in Whitehall, and said with a smile, "It seems that the countries that can hear the name of the Peace Religion have already stood up, but it seems that Iran? This is the end of the statement, but it is not willing 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 in the United States' interests in the Middle East. "

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

“Saudi is a country with its own ambitions. It is a lame country, it has no oil revenue but its military is not worth mentioning. If you want to exert your influence, you need to work harder. African countries like Pakistan and Uganda are The position of the Arab countries of peace can be understood as the influence of King Faisal after meeting with King Fuad II and reaching a consensus."

In any case, almost all the countries that teach peace have expressed their opposition to Israel, except for Algeria, which is occupied by France.

France has yet to make a statement, but Alan Wilson estimates that France will be on the side of the Arab countries to a certain extent.

If Algeria is counted as a part of France, even after years of war, there are still a lot of Algerians left. There is a possibility that France will side with Israel, but it is also possible that France will side with the Arab countries in order to maintain stability.

You must know that the participating countries are not only pure Arab countries, there is also a country that is not big, but has been involved in the war in the first place, and this country is still dominated by Christians.

This country is Lebanon, which has joined the war on the first day of the war, and this country is inextricably linked with France. Lebanon, which is just over fifty percent Christian, is affiliated with the Christian Maronites, and Lebanon and Syria are both former French colonies.

In the nineteenth century, France sent troops to Lebanon in the name of Europe to settle the conflict. It also sent missionaries to the area, established French schools, and managed Lebanon as a liberator. During this period, a large number of French moved to Lebanon, and French became the local official language. .

After the First World War, 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 pacifists in Lebanon. This is similar to the situation in France. They have now joined the war. France is likely to be on the side of the Arab countries to some extent, like the former colony. Otherwise, the pacifists in North Africa may will be noisy.

It may be a little appeasement to think this way, but appeasement is never an unforgivable crime. Who wants to get burned, and if the country is held hostage, of course there is no way.

If France is on the side of the Arab countries, where does the UK stand? This is the core of this discussion. For the sake of interests, the current UK is obviously closer to Arab countries.

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

"In fact, the most important thing is the Saudi side's statement on the oil embargo. Of course we can't sit back and watch 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 it is not only London that is discussing how to stand in line, 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.

Faced with dozens of missile boats dispatched by Egypt, the Israeli navy, which is more capable and sharp, cannot sit still, although more than a year ago, the Indian navy had already been in the action against the Pakistani navy, proving the effectiveness of missile boats. Power, but far away Asia is too far for Israel, which is a small country and few people.

Moreover, the Egyptian navy is actually not weak. It has an aircraft carrier sold by the United Kingdom in service, but it is only expected to be in Sunnybar in East Africa for a long time. This is the same as the aircraft carrier of the Kingdom of Iraq. The coastline of the Kingdom of Iraq is so small that it is too conspicuous to place an aircraft carrier. .

The aircraft carrier of the Egyptian Navy could not be used in the Mediterranean Sea either. The two countries were completely sold by the British enthusiastically, and only received the big guy with a small size of 20,000 tons.

The presence of aircraft carriers in the Egyptian navy has led Israel to face the imaginary enemy with the standards of the navy of a major country. How can Egypt's aircraft carriers be confronted? How can there be air-to-missile research?

But the Egyptian Navy's aircraft carrier basically does not go to its own port, and pretends to be an Arab leader in the Sultanate of Zanzibar every day. When the war broke out, the main force of the Egyptian Navy became a missile boat.

The Israeli destroyer "Eilat" is on a routine patrol in the waters of Mana Bay outside Egypt's Port Said. This type of destroyer with a full-load displacement of 3,000 tons, five 127mm guns, and five 40mm cannons is definitely a "giant ship" with powerful firepower in the Middle East.

The destroyer "Eilat" was originally a British-built destroyer HMS Zeal that was sold to Israel after the Suez War.

But obviously the relationship between the UK and Israel in this world is not so familiar, the Suez Canal War has not broken out, and the UK has not sold its warships to Israel. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

This world Israel's "Eilat" destroyer has become an American Fletcher class Next page! Current 1 page/Total 2 pages

Destroyers, the Fletcher-class destroyers were the most well-equipped destroyers of the U.S. Navy in World War II. Currently in the decommissioning cycle, the U.S. Navy's decline of hundreds of thousands of tons a year is also partly due to the Fletcher-class destroyers.

Because Egypt's aircraft carrier is far away in East Africa, the Israeli navy disregarded the missile boats dispatched, so it sent the navy to break through the so-called blockade of Egypt.

At this moment, an observer on the ship "Eilat" suddenly found a light flashing in the direction of Port Said, and immediately recognized it as the tail flame dragged by the solid booster of the anti-ship missile, so it quickly sounded. alarm. Although the artillery on duty on the ship aimed at the oncoming missile with five 40mm cannons, they didn't have time to fire...

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

Just as the lingering fears of the sailors aboard the "Eilat" did not disappear, the 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. The sailors on the ship scrambled to escape by jumping into the sea. The Egyptian Navy's lingering resentment, followed by a fourth missile, exploded when the lifeboat of the "Eilat" was just started.
