According to Egyptian officials, this war originated from Israel's shameless sneak attack. Although the cause was the diversion of the Jordan River, did Israel not bear any responsibility at all?
What's more, the countries involved in the diversion of the Jordan River are mainly Syria and Jordan. Egypt only supports the two Arab brothers as the Arab leader. Is this wrong?
But for this reason, Israel launched a war against the Arab world through sneak attacks and deception, and the Kingdom of Egypt was still Israel's main direction of attack.
From the beginning of the war, Fuad II's orders and uncompromising stance were recognized by most Egyptian citizens. He visited Saudi Arabia on the second day of the war in order to better establish a united front in the war against Israel.
Also recognized by Egyptian citizens.
Just before Fouad II set out, Egyptian officials announced a message on the radio. Morocco announced that it would send a combat brigade to participate in the war and would arrive in Egypt by sea. Morocco became the sixth country to participate in the war.
By the time they arrived in Riyadh, the Iraqi army had assembled and news of its march to Jordan and Syria had spread throughout the Arab world. Less than forty-eight hours after the war began, the Kingdom of Kuwait declared war on Israel. Fouad II and King Saudi Arabia paid
Sal meets.
Fouad II made no secret of his hope that Saudi Arabia would support this war in the Arab world. King Faisal expressed understanding, but not at the expense of damaging relations with the United States.
The negative impact of severing diplomatic relations would be too great, but King Faisal said that he would unite all possible efforts to support Egypt, and Saudi Arabia could unite with oil-producing countries to initiate an oil embargo against the United States.
"When the India-Pakistan war started, we did this to support Pakistan, and the effect was very good. But to be honest, we can not do it because there is no sign that the United States will attack Israel after the war starts.
Aid. You can first spread the word and let the United States choose between Israel and the Arab world."
After hearing this, Fuad II was hesitant. King Faisal saw this reaction and said directly, "Your Majesty, Saudi Arabia is willing to call on all Arab brothers to work together to rebuild the Egyptian Air Force. Although it may be due to military strength issues,
Saudi Arabia may not be able to provide much help on the battlefield, but it will definitely not shy away from diplomatic and economic help."
"Okay!" Fuad II finally nodded. Although Egypt has taken back the Suez Canal and built the Aswan Dam, it is not very financially wealthy due to its own population problems, especially for 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 has almost ceased to exist in name only. Rebuilding the Egyptian Air Force is also a huge expense.
King Faisal breathed a sigh of relief. After reaching a consensus, he and Fouad II appeared hand in hand in front of the waiting people and announced, "Saudi Arabia stands with all Arab countries and will treat all brother countries participating in the war equally."
support and is willing 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 cannot be underestimated. A few hours after the meeting between the two kings, Pakistan, Iran, Sudan, and Uganda successively expressed their opinions and criticized
Israel initiated the war and stated that if its citizens participated in the war on their own, they would not be interfered with.
All kinds of news from the Middle East were naturally transmitted to London by embassies from various places. Alan Wilson was holding a meeting in Whitehall and said with a smile, "It seems that all the countries that can hear the name of the Peace Church have come forward, but it's like
Iran? That's the end of the statement. It's just that it's 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 for U.S. interests in the Middle East."
"Saudi Arabia's statement is very surprising. We thought Saudi Arabia would stay out of the matter." Wick replied, "As for Iran, colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also agree with what the Secretary-General said."
"Saudi Arabia has its own ambitions. This country is lame. It has no oil revenue but no military strength. If you want to exert your influence, you need to work harder. Non-profit countries like Pakistan and Uganda
The stance of the Arab Peace Church countries can be understood as the influence brought about by King Faisal after he met with Fouad II and reached a consensus."
In any case, almost all peace-religious countries that can be heard frequently have expressed their opposition to Israel, except for Algeria, which is occupied by France.
France has not yet expressed its position, but Alan Wilson estimates that France will stand on the side of Arab countries to a certain extent.
If Algeria is considered a part of France, even though it has been devastated by years of war, there are still many Algerians left. There is a possibility that France will side with Israel, but it is equally possible that it will side with Arab countries to maintain stability.
You must know that the countries participating in the war are not only purely Arab countries. There is also a small country, but it has been involved in the war at the first time. In this country, Christians have a comparative advantage.
This country is Lebanon, which joined the war on the first day of the war. This country also has inextricable relations with France. Just over 50% of the people in Lebanon are Christian and belong to the Maronite Christians.
, Lebanon and Syria, are both original French colonies.
In the 19th century, France sent troops to Lebanon in the name of Europe to quell the conflict. It also sent missionaries to the local area, established French schools, and managed Lebanon as a liberator. During this period, a large number of French people immigrated to Lebanon, and French became the official language there.
.
After World War I, the entire Greater Syria became a French colony, and the establishment of Lebanon was naturally related to France.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There are also a considerable number of peaceful believers in Lebanon. This is similar to the situation in France. They have now joined the war. France is likely to be the same as this former colony.
To some extent, stand on the side of Arab countries, otherwise the peace believers in North Africa may cause trouble.
Thinking this way may be a bit appeasement, but appeasement has never been an unforgivable crime. Who wants to cause trouble and burn himself, and of course there is nothing he can do if the country is being held hostage.
If France sides with Arab countries, what angle will Britain be in? This is the core of this discussion. Considering interests, the current relationship between Britain and Arab countries is obviously closer.
If France also supports Arab countries, the situation in the Middle East will be very interesting. The Soviet Union also has a hand in the Middle East, both in Yemen and Syria.
"In fact, the most critical thing is Saudi Arabia's stance on the oil embargo. Of course we cannot sit idly by and ignore this threat, so we absolutely cannot 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 just London that is discussing how to take sides. The White House in Washington and the Kremlin in Moscow are also discussing the situation in the Middle East. How to take sides depends on the development of the war.
Facing the dozens of missile boats dispatched by Egypt, the Israeli Navy, which has stronger ships and more powerful guns, naturally cannot sit still and wait for death. Although more than a year ago, the Indian Navy had already proved the effectiveness of the missile boats in its operation against the Pakistani Navy.
It is powerful, but the distant Asia is really too far for Israel, which is a small country with a small population.
Moreover, the Egyptian navy is actually not weak. There are aircraft carriers sold by the United Kingdom in service, but they have been stationed in Sannibar in East Africa for a long time. This is the same as the aircraft carriers of the Kingdom of Iraq. The coastline of the Kingdom of Iraq is just this small. Placing an aircraft carrier is too conspicuous.
.
The Egyptian Navy's aircraft carriers are also unable to operate in the Mediterranean. Both countries accepted the 20,000-ton giants only after the British's enthusiastic door-to-door sales pitch.
There are aircraft carriers in the Egyptian Navy, which means that Israel must face imaginary enemies according to the standards of the navies of major powers. Let's think about how Egypt's aircraft carriers can fight against it. How can there be research on air-to-missile boats?
However, the aircraft carriers of the Egyptian Navy basically never visited the ports of their home country, and pretended to be Arab leaders in the Sultanate of Zanzibar every day. When the war broke out, the main force of the Egyptian Navy became missile boats.
In the waters of the Gulf of Mana outside Port Said, Egypt, the Israeli destroyer "Eilat" is on routine patrol. This type of destroyer has a full load displacement of 3,000 tons, five 127 mm naval guns, and five
The destroyer with a 40mm machine gun is definitely a "giant ship" with powerful firepower in the Middle East.
The destroyer "Eilat" was originally the British-built destroyer HMS Ardent, which was sold to Israel after the Suez Canal War.
But obviously the relationship between Britain and Israel in this world is not that familiar. The Suez Canal War did not break out, and Britain did not sell its warships to Israel.
In this world, the Israeli destroyer "Eilat" has become the American Fletcher-class destroyer. The Fletcher-class destroyer was the most well-equipped destroyer of the U.S. Navy in World War II. It is currently in the retirement cycle, and the U.S. Navy has
The Fletcher-class destroyers are partly responsible for the annual decline of hundreds of thousands of tonnage.
Because Egypt's aircraft carriers were far away in East Africa, the Israeli navy dismissed the dispatched missile boats and sent its navy to break through Egypt's so-called blockade.
At this moment, an observer on the "Eilat" ship suddenly noticed a bright light flashing in the direction of Port Said, and then recognized it as the tail flame dragged out by the solid booster of the anti-ship missile, so he quickly fired the
Alert. Although the artillerymen on duty on the ship aimed their five-gun 40mm machine guns at the incoming missiles, they did not have time to fire...
The French-made AS missile suddenly pulled up, then dived straight towards the "Eilat", blasting a large hole in the middle of the hull and hitting the boiler room. About a minute later, the second missile flew in the air and struck
The main engine room of the Eilat was hit. The entire power system of the Eilat was completely paralyzed, and the communication system was also destroyed. It was floating like a dead fish on the water of the Mediterranean Sea.
Just as the sailors on the "Eilat" were still frightened, a 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 and quickly tilted.
The ship flipped over and sank to a depth of 60 meters. The sailors on the ship rushed to jump into the sea to escape. The Egyptian Navy was still angry and fired a fourth missile, which exploded just as the lifeboat of the "Eilat" was launched.
