v2 Chapter 1463: ask for help

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

​​

​​

​​

Missile boats, which are standard for the navy of poor countries in the eyes of the free world, finally got their second iconic victory in front of the 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 manufacturer of this extremely rare catamaran missile boat belonged to the supreme authority's wife, Ms. Pamela Mountbatten. Not sure what Alan Wilson would explain.

​​

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

​​

Alan Wilson, in a tone that has nothing to do with me, put aside the relationship between the sinking of the Israeli destroyer and the United Kingdom. If you want to blame France, the United Kingdom has long been unable to achieve a large and comprehensive industrial system.

​​

Don't look at the British Royal Navy, the second largest in the world in tonnage, with a tonnage of more than two million tons. It seems that aircraft carriers and battleships have everything. He has been pushing hard for these places that cannot be saved.

​​

However, the most advanced heavy aircraft carrier carries a group of artillery to protect the fleet. The area has been around for more than ten years. The replacement shield ship has just begun to be built in the United Kingdom. It is known that the Royal Navy is also very difficult to maintain its current scale.

​​

As for the specific types of missiles, strategic missiles for nuclear warfare are naturally unavoidable. It is also impossible to have a sword without a shield. The UK also insists on domestically-made air defense missile systems.

​​

But other missiles? The as anti-ship missile was jointly developed with France. The air-to-air missiles used are similar products from the United States introduced into the production line. Why is the battle between the Iraqi Air Force and the Israeli Air Force so boring?

​​

Because the Israeli ghosts use Sidewinders and Sparrows, the air-to-air missiles used by the Iraqi Air Force are the same as Sidewinders and Sparrows, but the combat platforms they carry are different.

​​

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

​​

If Israel does not believe it, you can ask European countries, which country made the AS anti-ship missiles, and they all say that they are from France and have nothing to do with the United Kingdom.

​​

If Israel wants to retaliate, although Alan Wilson can't change a specific weapon, he can tell Israel in a friendly way that armed helicopters are actually a good way to deal with missile boats. What? Does Israel Have No Helicopter Carriers? That can't be helped.

​​

Israel does have a helicopter formation, but at this time Israel is using military 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.

​​

The British built two anti-aircraft towers at that time to protect the Suez Canal from the interference of the war. This steel and cement cube with a length, width and height of 70 meters is a huge amount of work. It is already half the height of the Khufu Pyramid. These anti-aircraft towers are built along the route. The two anti-aircraft towers are roughly on the east bank of the north and south ends of the Suez Canal.

​​

As long as the air defense tower is not lost, the Egyptian army will have a fulcrum for counter-offensive. The remaining fortified towns are actually just some towns built by transplanting the Khrushchev Building. 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 nail on the Arish air defense tower, it knew that such a fortress could not be conquered in a short time. There were 150,000 Egyptian troops in the Sinai Peninsula, and it was impossible to rely on the stronghold to defend it. In fact, the spy satellite photos of the United States also As evidence of this, Egyptian forces with two armored divisions were being assembled.

​​

The Israeli Ministry of Defense quickly adjusted the offensive strategy. The Air Force selected two towns on the only way to bombard indiscriminately, opened a channel to kill the hinterland of the Sinai Peninsula, and annihilated the two Egyptian armored divisions, hoping to lay a solid foundation for this. The longer the victory in the Sinai, 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 the battlefield, Israel is also trying to win the support of Europe and the United States, especially the United States through diplomatic efforts. The Arab camp has made a lot of noise. The countries that can report the name of the Peace Church will either directly participate in the war, or express their assistance. The warring countries, at worst, attacked Israel's aggressiveness. The latest country to attack Israel was the Sultanate of Sanibar.

​​

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

​​

It is 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 not a resource country. It can only be expressed in the international community. Make a stand.

With so much momentum created by the Arab side, Israel can't be idle either. It mainly focuses 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, which is basically 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 make a desperate attempt to stop this genocide by the Arab League.

​​

It cannot be said that Israel's argument is completely arrogant. The "Final Protocol of the Vienna Conference" concluded during Napoleon's period stipulated the system of free navigation and unified taxation of "rivers that flow through different countries", and announced that the Rhine River and several other rivers. Subject to freedom of navigation and other systems.

​​

After successive international conferences, the power of international rivers has been continuously improved. In 1966, 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 river law. Affected files.

​​

The document clearly stipulates that an international watershed refers to the entire geographical area that spans two or more countries and is within the boundary of a water system, including surface water and groundwater flowing to the same end point in the area.

​​

Water disputes are also included in this convention. Although the United States has never cared about any international conventions, the Colorado River and Rio Grande River disputes between the United States and Mexico fully demonstrate the reasonable style of the United States, but isn't that the United States, international conventions Can't handle America.

​​

But the United States said that it can manage other countries. For the vast majority of countries in the world, this is the truth.

​​

There is no doubt that the scale of the Middle East war this time is far greater than the one in 1948, and even Alan Wilson felt that it exceeded the fourth Middle East war in his mind.

​​

The war was very fierce at the beginning. Syria used Scud missiles to shoot Israeli cities, which is what Saddam Hussein did.

​​

With the current intensity, the inventories of participating countries will be empty at some point. Although Israel has a certain production capacity, it is still unable to cope with such a large-scale war. Now Israel's request for help is essentially a hope that foreign aid will end up helping.

​​

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

​​

Whitehall's opinion cannot offend the Arab world, especially since Saudi Arabia has issued a warning of an oil embargo, and the price to be paid for standing on Israel's side will be very high. 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 politically correct in the Arab world. Does the United Kingdom ignore Jordan and Iraq, two countries armed with British weapons? Not to mention the two rich feudal emirates of Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. The UK cannot afford this loss.

​​

“And we are very suspicious of Saudi Arabia’s true position. We have long believed that Saudi Arabia is a pro-American country, and they are. If an oil embargo is imposed on Europe and the United States, the United States actually has sufficient natural resources to cope with the increase in oil prices. , but what about Europe? North Sea oil, French oil in Algeria, and the Gulf of Guinea, which is farther away, can they all add up to the consumption of European countries?" Alan Wilson took Looking at the production data of several oil producing areas, in front of the cabinet ministers, "The most important thing is that the countries around the Gulf of Guinea are either independent or at war, such as Portuguese colonies in Africa."

​​

"Will these already independent countries stand with the Middle East for the benefit of rising oil prices? Our influence is compared to increasing money? Well, it's better not to have such a choice."

​​

Alan Wilson's meaning is very simple, such a choice may have results that everyone does not want to see.

​​

"According to our intelligence, we can now conclude that both the Arish air defense tower and the Suez air defense tower are in the hands of Egypt. When we built two air defense towers, we considered the Suez Canal to be free from the threat of war, as long as these two air defense towers The anti-aircraft tower and the cities of Arish and Suez are in the hands of Egypt, and the Sinai Peninsula cannot be said to be completely occupied. The Longsword anti-aircraft missile system of the two air defense towers is also operating. Although the Egyptian Air Force has existed in name only, the prevention and control system is still in place. Operational. The Israeli Air Force has not been able to indiscriminately bomb the Egyptian Army in the Sinai Peninsula.”

​​

At this moment, Kissinger, who had just met 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.
