With the arrival of the officer corps, the two armies that Egypt was preparing to send to Ethiopia were quickly formed.
It is said to be a group army, but the organization of the Egyptian group army is more similar to the organization of group armies in later generations, rather than the German group army or the Soviet front army in World War II.
The two armies respectively consist of three mechanized infantry divisions, an armored brigade and a tank brigade, as well as other associated combat units.
In other countries, this may be just a military configuration.
But in terms of the quantity of technical equipment and the degree of mechanization, today's Egyptian army is already ranked first in the world.
Although it is not as extravagant as the Americans, where two people can share a jeep, it is still possible to have one infantry fighting vehicle or armored vehicle per squad.
If the quality of the soldiers is not considered, these mechanized infantry, organized and armed with modern standards, are well-deserved to be the first in the world in terms of advanced equipment.
It's just that the equipment is advanced and needs people to use it. The training level and combat will of these Egyptian soldiers still need to be tested in real actual combat.
This is also the reason why Chen Mo would not hesitate to transfer a clone officer corps from the "biochemical" world to command the troops.
In war, how much combat effectiveness an army can exert depends not only on the quality of its soldiers, but also on the military literacy of grassroots officers and the commanding ability of its commanders.
Therefore, he hopes that these clone officers can bring more positive effects to this force and train him to have a force that can fight tough battles and possess a tenacious fighting will and combat effectiveness.
However, Chen Mo did not have high expectations for what kind of performance the Egyptian army could perform.
After all, from ancient times to the present, the armies in the Middle East have never been known for their powerful combat capabilities. Although they have established powerful empires in history, the impression of their armies has always been based on quantity rather than quality.
win.
As for the modern Middle Eastern army, it can only be said to be a joke.
It is precisely because these people are so unbearable that Chen Mo will mobilize a clone officer corps, hoping to bring about different changes, so that this army he formed by himself will not be like other armies in this area.
Just as unbearable.
Of course, if this army is really useless, Chen Mo will have no choice but to dispatch the undead or clone army.
It's just that the subsequent effects of doing so will be more troublesome, and sending a large number of undead to the battlefield and transporting a large number of clones from the "biochemical" world to this world will consume more resources.
In order to save unnecessary expenses, Chen Mo still did not want the Egyptian army to be too overwhelmed.
After all, they have equipment that is superior to this era, and have more advanced tactics and combat concepts. As long as they have enough fighting will on the battlefield and do not collapse at the first touch, theoretically speaking, this army is still capable of fighting.
Moreover, a considerable number of soldiers in these armies are former Pharaoh's guards, and their fighting will is worthy of recognition.
But now that they have relieved themselves of their thousand-year mission, how much more willing are these former Pharaoh guards to fight to the death?
Although Chen Mo expressed doubts about this, he didn't care too much. After all, for him, this Ethiopian war is just a small test. If the natural army is overwhelmed, he has other backup plans, and things will not be so bad.
A point of no return.
As for the poor performance of the Egyptian military in this war, the biggest problem is that it has had a negative impact on the international community and will only reduce Egypt's deterrence against neighboring countries.
However, Chen Mo is not without countermeasures for this problem.
In addition to strong military power, there is another kind of deterrence, which is nuclear deterrence.
The umbrella base that Chen Mo took away from the "biochemical" world for the first time had nuclear bomb manufacturing technology, not to mention that now that he has the entire "biochemical" world in his pocket, he has mastered all the nuclear weapons in that world.
In today's era when the relevant theories of nuclear weapons in the "Egyptian" world have not yet been perfected, there is no need to use strategic nuclear weapons, just tactical nuclear weapons can greatly deter countries around the world.
The consequences of using nuclear weapons still made Chen Mo hesitate. After all, what the "Egyptian" world was about to face was the most painful and bottomless war in human history.
If countries are made aware of the existence of nuclear weapons, who can guarantee that they will not research nuclear weapons and use them in war?
Chen Mo did not want World War II to turn into a thermonuclear war. That was not the outcome he wanted.
This is also the reason why he has been hiding nuclear weapons. Whether it is the Allies or the Axis Powers, if they have nuclear weapons, they will definitely use them in war. The consequences will be far greater than those in history.
A tragic war with even more terrible consequences.
"When the fleet comes back, send them to Ethiopia. This war is very important. I don't want any accidents to happen." After some consideration, Chen Mo decided to send the fleet to this war:
"In addition, Italian warships are prohibited from passing through the Suez Canal. If Italy has any objections, just say that our country has sent troops to protect Ethiopia at the request of Ethiopia. At the same time, in order to prevent the expansion of the war, warships from both parties to the war are prohibited from passing through the Suez Canal from now until the end of the war."
"Boss, should we discuss the blockade of the Suez Canal with the British?" When Ada Wang heard that Chen Mo wanted to ban Italians from passing the Suez Canal, she didn't think there was a problem with his decision, but she still reminded him: "The Suez Canal
Now it is jointly managed by Egypt and Britain and France. Although we can indeed block the Suez Canal, I think you should give the British some face."
Ada Wang's reminder made Chen Mo ponder for a moment. He thought for a while and said: "In that case, let's give the British some face and announce that due to the war, our country's waters will control warships from various countries and restrict Ethiopia's participation in the war.
Warships from both sides passed through their respective waters."
Although it is still the same blockade, the meaning is different after changing the term.
Chen Mo has not yet taken back the sovereignty of the Suez Canal. It is still jointly managed by Britain, France and Egypt. He only received part of the benefits that Egypt deserves from it.
So in theory, blocking the Suez Canal requires at least the approval of Britain and France, but Egypt restricts Italian warships from passing through its territorial waters, so there is no problem.
Even the British could not let Chen Mo open Egypt's territorial waters for Italy in this matter.
After all, the territorial waters are Egypt's own territory, and there is no problem for the Egyptians not to let the two warring parties pass.
