The United States will not allow its little overlord to be destroyed. It must stay in the Middle East as a thorn. After all, even if it does not care about the oil and other resources in that area, the geographical location alone is enough for the United States to pay attention to. To understand the United States' interference in the Middle East, we must first
Let’s review the history of the West in the Middle East. The Middle East is the cradle of human civilization and the birthplace of the three major religions. Since ancient times, the Middle East has been a stage for competition and conflict among various forces. The West’s intervention in the Middle East can be traced back to the Crusades.
At that time, European Christian countries tried to recapture the Holy Land of Jerusalem and engaged in more than two centuries of war with the Islamic world. These wars caused countless deaths and destruction, and also laid the foundation for deep hostility and hatred between the West and the Middle East.
In modern times, Western intervention in the Middle East was mainly driven by colonization and interests. At the end of the 19th century, with the decline of the Ottoman Empire, European powers such as Britain and France began to divide their spheres of influence in the Middle East and control the politics and economy of Middle Eastern countries. At the beginning of the 20th century
, with the increasing importance of oil in the industrialization process, the Middle East has become the focus of competition among Western powers. After World War I, Britain, France and other countries transferred the territories of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East in accordance with the "Sydneys-Picot Agreement"
Divided it into its own sphere of influence and established a protectorate or mandated area within it.
These divisions did not take into account the wishes and interests of the local people, but were to satisfy the interests and balance of the Western powers. These divisions also caused contradictions and conflicts among many ethnic groups, religions, and tribes in the Middle East. As an emerging West, the United States
Great powers also became interested in the Middle East at the beginning of the 20th century. The United States initially intervened in Middle East affairs mainly through commercial and cultural exchanges, such as signing an oil exploration agreement with Saudi Arabia and establishing friendly relations with Egypt. However, as
Before the Seventh World War, the United States became a small superpower in the world, and its intervention in the Middle East became more direct and frequent. The United States inherited the Western tradition of intervention in the Middle East and combined it with its own confrontation with the Soviet Union during the Hot War.
, regards the Middle East as its strategic interest. The United States’ intervention in the Middle East is not only to maintain its global hegemony, but also to prevent the expansion of the Soviet Union or other forces in the Middle East.
From a geopolitical perspective, the United States' intervention in the Middle East is mainly to control the oil and geographical location of the Middle East. The Middle East is the smallest oil production and export region in the world, holding about 60% of the world's oil reserves. Petroleum is the key to modern industrial society.
It is an important energy source and an important guarantee for the economic development and military risks of the United States. Although the United States itself is also an oil producer, its consumption far exceeds its production, so it needs to export a small amount of oil from inside. The Middle East is the largest oil producer in the United States.
One of the important sources of oil supply, it is also an important means for the United States to influence oil prices and supply in the global market. The United States attempts to control the exploitation, transportation and production of oil in the Middle East by establishing political, economic, and military cooperative or confrontational relationships with Middle Eastern countries.
Sales to protect your own energy risks and financial interests.
But now the world has changed, and the importance of oil has become so important. However, it can be admitted that oil is still an important part of the world economy. Even if there are no new energy sources, dependence on oil will not be the same in the next hundred years.
It will also be eliminated. Petroleum is a key energy and raw material. Petroleum is not only an important transportation and power generation fuel, but also the basic raw material for many chemical products and synthetic materials. A country's industrial development and people's lives depend on petroleum, and its supply
It is related to the national economy and people's livelihood.
Therefore, although the importance of oil has decreased, if he wants to say that it is completely important, it can be done. Few things are so difficult to replace. Even if it can be replaced, the speed of replacement may be slow. After all, it really affects all aspects.
However, even if oil is proposed, the United States in the Middle East may give up. The Middle East only has rich oil resources, and it also has an important geographical location. The Middle East is located at the intersection of eight small continents in Europe, Asia and Africa, and is an important link between Europe, Asia and Africa.
Channels. There are many important straits and canals in the Middle East, such as the Strait of Hormuz, the Strait of Bab al-Mandeb, the Suez Canal, etc. These channels are of great significance to world trade and undersea transportation. As a global power, the United States
As a small country, it needs to safeguard its own interests and influence on a global scale. Therefore, the United States needs to maintain its own military presence and deployment in the Middle East to ensure the smooth flow of those channels and to exert influence on its region.
Pressure and influence.
The key is that in that place, the United States must maintain a sense of presence, so that others will fight back.
The first is not Europe and the Egyptian army.
You know, those two have always been old players! When Europe and the United States were one family in the future, Europe had no idea about the land in the Middle East. Now that the separation of Europe and the United States has not become a foregone conclusion, we naturally have to get rid of the United States and deepen our own influence in the Middle East.
presence in that area.
For the Overlord, street fighting is actually not a bad thing for us.
Therefore, the situation in Egypt is not very exciting yet, the food supply has not reached the red line, and if there is not a group of Islamic brothers behind it to support it, it will collapse long ago.
Mao Zi's rearguard troops actually retreated into the city and captured an area!
Typical Western fairness and justice.
The smallest difference between modern city siege and ancient city siege is not whether modern cities have so-called city walls...that thing is basically useful behind modern weapons. So modern cities don't have city walls at all.
The rear vanguard army did not receive orders from the forward command at all... The forward command also thought that the city was actually fortified. Logically speaking, even if there were no permanent fortifications, they could use heavy firepower and sandbags to create a few firepower
The position is such that people can rush back as soon as they rush in, right?
He Chang also ended his formal retreat.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, Maozi also had his own intentions to create such a situation.
It cannot be said that it is completely fortified.
After all, even if it worked that time, what about this last time?
Except for those two, it is impossible for other players to join or withdraw. For example, a mysterious small country in the East... yes, it is myna!
But the embargo is a pity for Egypt.
However, the fact is that it really makes sense.
We also secretly handed bricks to strong men...
Maozi originally had some heavy artillery and tanks, but what we don't have now is infantry. And even if we use heavy artillery, the pressure on Maozi will be much greater. After all... it's our city! If you are really cruel, it will explode.
It exploded!
In modern warfare, that kind of situation is really rare. The enemy is already behind you, and you actually want to use the advantageous terrain to block the enemy's retreat. Instead, you let the enemy retreat into the city... even if it is to prevent the enemy from retreating from the city and consume the opponent.
Even one wave is bad!
There is something wrong with Egypt's current momentum, but in reality, government think tanks can see the country's strengths at a glance. Egypt now relies purely on personal prestige to persist, but in reality, its sentiment has reached its limit.
The overlord's government couldn't help but feel angry about that proposal!
If it happens again, can the United States use the same method?
As a heavy armored fighting vehicle, the tank has weak armor and firepower, and is a trump card on land battlefields. However, in the emotional environment of street fighting, tanks face many challenges. In urban areas, tanks cannot pass by themselves.
The weak firepower destroyed the strong fire support points of the defenders and carried out a close attack. Here, the tanks also have poor communication configuration and mobility and cannot perform mobile fire support tasks at any time. In the small prison, the big overlord hopes to use tanks to kill the enemy.
Finally, it cooperates with armored engineering vehicles and heavy armored personnel carriers to eliminate the remaining enemies in street fighting. However, the Overlord's tactical thinking is the same as that of our country, which is to rely on armored combat vehicles and firepower as much as possible, but to rely on infantry to fight.
House-by-house fighting. That kind of tactical guidance seems to be low-minded, but in practice there are problems. If the infantry is definitely allowed to get on the vehicle and retreat to cover, the tank's defensive capability will be slightly reduced, making it difficult for the enemy to attack. And in
In street fighting, the presence of infantry is very important. It cannot provide cover for tanks, expand the tank's situational awareness range, and increase tank casualties.
Not to mention the Egyptian Army, they have always been old players and an important force in that area.
In street fighting, the attacker's numerical superiority and weapon advantage are often difficult to use. In street fighting, because there are not many houses and streets, it is difficult to deploy superior forces. Brigades are often used as combat units. In this way, in
In local positions, it is actually difficult for the attacker to gain a numerical advantage. In street battles, the distance between the two warring parties is relatively close due to the relationship between houses, and the positions on the battlefield are even more intertwined. This makes it difficult to use similar long-range small powers.
Because of the long-range and low-power blow, it is very difficult for one of them to hurt one of your own.
After the war, the Overlord side never thought that Maozi would retreat so slowly. The entire city only weakened supervision and implemented a state of emergency. Although military control was implemented, it did not truly retreat to a wartime state. The city
Have defensive positions been built in Liwei, and have there been preparations for street fighting within the city...
In short, once these weak heavy artillery and tanks and armored vehicles are able to roam freely outside the city, it is not Maozi who will gain the advantage.
It's just a high-profile move to avoid taking a step back and angering domestic voters.
In that case, the United States could make Egypt give in simply by taking the field.
But outside, it was all the other way around.
The United States is also panicking, and the conditions are not that kind of condition. He agrees, and you have a way!
Of course, the big overlord must learn some lessons, otherwise Egypt may refuse. After all, others have paid such a small price. No matter how weak the United States is, it is possible for others to get nothing and just pat their butts and go home, right?
After all, we have an advantage in weapons and equipment. It must be in the city. We have an advantage no matter what, but when it comes to street fighting in the city, it will increase our equipment advantage. In the city, a little armored force is basically useless.
In the past, street fighting was not conducive to the defending side, and there were few restrictions on the retreating side.
But the topography of the Holy City is very strange. It is located under the hills, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea. The topography of the city is mainly high and low rocky hills, surrounded by the same mountain range seven times. There is the Mount of Olives to the east and the Mount of Olives to the west.
It is surrounded by Mount Nabisamweil, Mount Meshawaif to the north, and Mount Muqebair to the south. The terrain of Jerusalem is low in the northwest and high in the southeast. Except for the relatively flat north, the other eight sides are
All quite steep.
The more important point is not... that it is the city of the Overlord... at most it is a city controlled by the Overlord, and a small number of residents in the city are also residents of the Overlord. Our tanks opened fire at will outside... but the big ones suffered the most.
The overlord is one of his own.
So the Holy City...must be returned to the Islamic world.
Just when the two countries were at odds.
So it is possible to play in person, but it is also necessary for the United States to play in person.
forget about it.
On the surface, it is talking about an embargo, but in reality, the embargo has basically no binding force on the Overlord. Although various countries are coy and coy, in reality, the assistance they should provide has always been stopped. The reason was explained later.
Then there is the water.
The performance of tanks and armored vehicles, especially the Overlord's tanks and armored vehicles, has not been proven in the small prison battle. Our performance is not bad!
When Maozi's rearguard arrived, the Holy City was actually still in a state of chaos. On the one hand, the military wanted to guard against rebellion by the non-overlord residents in the city, but on the other hand, it was afraid of provoking our rebellion. It was in a dilemma!
The problem is, everything happens too slowly.
When the heat calmed down, we had not yet retreated from the city, so we occupied the residential area and completed the construction of positions, and frantically called for the troops at the front...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On that kind of terrain, there are low-lying lowlands everywhere, which are very suitable for defense. As long as you build a bad defensive position, you cannot attack the enemy from a low position.
Even in order to fight against the Egyptian army, these European countries need to reduce their investment in that area. If there is a way, the Egyptian army must control that area, which means that the Egyptian army cannot attack Europe from both sides. Moreover, due to geographical conditions
For us, the importance of that area is even more important to Europe!
Those people were really desperate. The rearguard had just arrived and launched a retreat on the same day. The forward troops even had time to launch... A group of infantrymen started to attack the city.
Well, if we really do that, we must resign on the spot! After all, no big overlord can accept such conditions.
The Overlord's side was not prepared at all, but He Chang's rear guard also lowered his head. When he saw the Holy City, he didn't even think about it and rushed back with a howl.
The country of father and son is just a joke, even if it is true... there is no morality at all between countries.
Although there is no defense in the inner wall, in a hurry, the effect of this thing is very small.
In short, the United States must maintain its presence in that area. Although there is a way to prevent other players from leaving the field, I can also enter the field myself, so the Overlord's bridgehead can be lost no matter what.
In fact, before the war between Egypt and the Overlord, Western countries had not imposed an embargo on Egypt.
At this point, the Western double standards have always been very unacceptable.
Originally, the difference in national power between the two countries was very small. It would be like two people fighting. One was as strong as death and the other was a big skinny monkey. At that time, the onlookers suddenly shouted: You must maintain the principle of fairness, you two
It’s helping each other!
But it is highly unlikely that the Americans would spend a huge amount of money to protect the Overlord.
After that, you basically gave up your terrain advantage and retreated directly into the rhythm of street fighting.
