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 chased and bit by the judiciary, appeared. The two sides were still in a stalemate about the tape. From the expression on Nixon's face, he knew that the development of the Watergate incident did not make him happy.

Kissinger understood Nixon's difficulties, but he also had to introduce the latest situation. This time the Middle East war is undoubtedly tragic. Although Israel has severely damaged the Egyptian Air Force at the beginning of the war, it has also brought huge losses to the Jordanian and Syrian Air Forces. kill.

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

Compared with the Arab League, Israel cannot gain an advantage in numbers, even in the Air Force. Israel, which killed 300 fighter jets in the Arab League, also paid for the loss of hundreds of fighter jets. Of course, these pilots are also bad luck. Less, the latest situation is that the Yemeni Air Force Soviet fighter jets appeared over the Sinai Peninsula.

Moreover, Morocco and Libya have expressed that they will send their fighter jets to Egypt, so that the Egyptian Air Force can use fighter jets again.

You must know that the reason why the Egyptian Air Force was beaten so badly is because most of the fighter jets have not taken off at all, and have been eliminated by the Israeli Air Force at the airport. The Egyptian Air Force has enough pilots.

And the pilots of the Israeli Air Force are really lost in the air battle. Once the Egyptian Air Force gets a certain supplement, even if it is only one-third of the original, it can provide air supremacy in the Sinai Peninsula, not to mention that the Yemeni Air Force has already appeared in the Sinai. The peninsula battlefield, and the two giant air defense towers on the Sinai Peninsula can themselves play the role of shielding their own army.

Not to mention, the Egyptian air force and anti-aircraft artillery units shot down a group of Israeli invading aircraft at the beginning of the war.

After attacking Israeli aircraft at Damascus International Airport, the Syrian Air Force bombed airfields, military installations and troop staging points in northern Israel, and bombed oil depots in the seaport. Jordan declared war on Israel immediately after Israeli planes attacked the capital Amman, with Jordanian forces shelling military strongholds inside Israel.

The Israeli destroyer "Eilat" was sunk, and the waters of Israel were blocked. Kissinger's face was heavy, "Most European countries expressed their desire to be neutral and rejected Israel's request for help. , Dear President, now only the United States can save Israel."

Hearing Kissinger's words, Nixon said in amazement, "Has the situation deteriorated to this point? Israel can't hold on anymore?"

"Israel is still on the offensive, but an excellent army can't fight with fire sticks, right? The consumption of weapons in this war is staggering, far beyond everyone's expectations." Kissinger looked solemn, " In the face of numerous Arab states taking turns, Israel's stockpile of weapons has dropped to terrifying proportions."

Kissinger bluntly said that Israel is now in a situation where two fists are invincible, and only the Sixth Fleet can open the route of foreign aid.

The scope of the U.S. Sixth Fleet’s jurisdiction is the Arctic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean surrounding Europe and Africa. This is a bit vague. In fact, the main scope of activities of the Sixth Fleet is basically the same as that of the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet. The real responsibility for the security of the Atlantic Ocean is the The U.S. Second Fleet is also the most powerful fleet of the U.S. Navy.

"Can't you solve the problem yourself?" Nixon asked very seriously. If the United States stepped in to help, this Middle East war would be complicated.

Kissinger shook his head heavily. European countries have already indicated that they want to stay out of the way. If the United States does not take action, it will be difficult to tell the direction of the war.

"It is better for Israel to solve the problem by itself." Nixon thought for a long time, but he still did not want to be dragged into the water by Israel. Otherwise, the United States would be very passive in the face of the Arab world.

This made Kissinger a little disappointed. He is also a Jew. He hopes that the United States can stand firmly behind Israel. Nixon did not say that the United States does not care about Israel, but only hopes that Israel can solve most of the problems, and the United States can add the icing on the cake, instead of turning the United States to replace it. Israel settles things.

At least Israel should be victorious in one direction before the US can step in to help. Israel certainly thinks so, including the Israeli Prime Minister, Mrs. Meir, who wants to get rid of Egypt first, and to get rid of Egypt as an opponent. When dealing with Jordan and Syria respectively, the problem is that only the air force in Egypt has been solved.

Two giant anti-aircraft towers, one south and one north, accompanied the dotted fortress towns, like a chain, trapping the Israeli offensive forces in the middle.

Israel must now endure precarious supply lines and defeat Egypt's forces in the Sinai in this quagmire.

Around the city of Arish, Israel has formulated a strategy to block this supply base. Simply put, it is to surround the point to help. If Alan Wilson knew about it, he would immediately think that the advantage is in me.

After Nixon stated that Israel still had to win by itself, Israel had to prove itself in the Sinai Peninsula, and the doomed Sinai Battle broke out.

Egypt has 150,000 troops in the Sinai Peninsula. These troops must not hide in the fortress and wait to be removed by Israel. At least the consumption of two armored divisions is quite amazing. The supply of the base in Arish blocks the Egyptian defenders. The long-term persistence was unfavorable, and the two sides launched a war around Arish.

The Sinai Peninsula has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. In 1948, the Egyptian army entered Palestine from here. Wherever it went, the people welcomed it wholeheartedly. , still in front of you.

The presence of the Yemeni Air Force cast a gloom over the battle at a time when Egypt and Israel were sending a large number of tanks to the decisive battle. The Israeli Air Force broke out with extraordinary efficiency and rushed to the third-line battlefield, but after all, it has dealt with several opponents one after another, and both weapons and personnel are approaching the limit.

The Yemeni Air Force was covering the Egyptian armored forces, which forced the Israeli Air Force to approach the battlefield again to fight against new opponents. On the ground, for the first time after the war, there was a showdown between American weapons and British weapons.

After ceding the procurement of the Egyptian Air Force to France, the British undoubtedly took over the ground weapons of the Egyptian army.

If the losses of the Egyptian Chieftain and Centurion tanks were too great, the reason, of course, was that the French-armed Egyptian Air Force was incapable of providing cover for the British tanks.

Both countries knew that this was a decisive battle. Egypt put all the Chieftain and Centurion tanks in its hands, while Israel also put in the same number of Patton tanks. The two sides were inextricably fighting on the ground. The chaos in the sky is no less than that on the ground. The intensity of the fighting between Yemen's Soviet fighter jets and Israel's Phantom fighter jets is equally eye-catching.

The fire lit up the sky, the earth trembled, and all the tank main guns of the two armies roared in unison. Hundreds of tanks were thinking about rushing towards the opposite side, like a group of wild buffaloes running on the grassland, raising smoke and dust into the sky, making a deafening roar, overwhelming the enemy army on the opposite side.

The tank guns of Egypt's first line of Sheikh tanks began to fire fiercely. The lines of fire crossed, and the smoke and dust rose up. The American Patton tank was not to be outdone. The constantly exploding ammunition splashed from the various exits of the tank like festive fireworks, and the turrets emitted thick smoke and a raging fire was ignited. The tank was reduced to a pile of rubble.

It was a test for both sides, as the fighter jets and the wrecked tanks on the ground showed how brutal the battle was.

"Although Egypt's two armored divisions were annihilated and the loss of the offensive troops made our hope of occupying the entire Sinai Peninsula dim." Chief of Staff Elazar met Prime Minister Mrs. Meir and gave Mrs. Meir a joy There are mixed questions, the good news is that Egypt has only infantry troops left in the Sinai Peninsula, and the worry is that the Israeli offensive forces have also lost the ability to pull out their strongholds.

Israel does not have the manpower to attack the fortified strongholds one by one, not to mention that the heavy weapons of the Israeli offensive force also suffered heavy losses.

Defense Minister Moses Dayan also has a heavy heart, and he knows what it means, with the fighting on the Sinai peninsula already deadlocked.

"Announce to the citizens that Egypt in the Sinai Peninsula has lost its combat effectiveness." Mrs. Meir was briefly lost, but she regained her calm immediately, and Israel once again sent a message to the United States for help.

The plan to defeat Egypt quickly failed, and although Egypt had suffered heavy losses, it was unable to attack Israel. However, according to the intensity of the war with Egypt, there will be Jordan and Syria behind.

Facing the eager Kissinger, Nixon fell into a long silence. "Send all the things that can fly now to Israel, order the Sixth Fleet to **** them, and break through the blocked waters of Israel."

"Thank you, President." Kissinger's face was touched, and then he immediately went to convey Nixon's order that the United States is willing to help Israel, which is of great importance to the survival of Israel.

"Wait a minute, tell London that American-style air-to-air missiles cannot be sold to Arab countries." Nixon suddenly seemed to remember something, "Tell London that the results of some military technology exchanges must be approved by Washington. For sale, the Arab countries, which are now one of the warring parties, are obviously not suitable."

At a critical moment, the current US president still has not forgotten his old father. He must settle the backing of some Arab countries. Can he settle the Soviet Union or the UK?
