Chapter 1463 A Call for Help

Protests of the sinking of the Israeli destroyer arrived in London at the same time as Mrs. Meir’s announcement of a second wave of Israeli mobilization.

Missile boats, the standard of a poor country’s navy in the eyes of the free world, had finally gotten their second landmark battle in front of the world, India’s on Pakistan, which was still relatively unconvincing.

Wick relayed the Israeli ambassador’s protests to the Supreme Authority in front of him, who also knew that the manufacturer of origin of this extremely rare catamaran missile boat belonged to the Supreme Authority’s wife, Mrs. Pamela Mountbatten. One wonders what explanation Alan Wilson will offer.

“We are saddened by what happened to Israel, but the missile boat or the missiles on it are more important. The boat was built in the UK, but the Royal Navy was clearly not keen and did not develop the anti-ship missiles that were carried on it, and it was only by ordering as anti-ship missiles from France in order to export them to Egypt that we were able to make the deal. We also hope that the Israeli side understands this.”

Alan Wilson, in a tone that has nothing to do with me, brushed off the sinking of the Israeli destroyer and the British connection, and blamed it on France, the UK has long since failed to make a large and comprehensive industrial system.

Do not look at the Royal Navy tonnage on the world’s second, more than two million tons of tonnage, aircraft carriers battleships seem to have everything, these can not save the place, he has always been fully promoted.

But the most advanced heavy aircraft carriers with a group of artillery frigate fleet, a band is more than ten years, more iteration of the shield ship Britain has only just begun to build, it is known that the Royal Navy to maintain the current scale is also quite hard.

Specifically to the types of missiles, fight nuclear war strategic missiles that naturally can not save, the same sword without a shield can not, air defense missile system Britain is also adhere to the domestic.

But other missiles?as anti-ship missiles is a joint effort with France, the use of air-to-air missiles is the introduction of production lines of the United States of America similar products, why is the Iraqi Air Force and the Israeli Air Force engagement so boring?

Because the Israeli Ghosts use Rattlesnakes and Sparrows, and the Iraqi Air Force uses the same air-to-air missiles as Rattlesnakes and Sparrows, just on different combat platforms.

The Royal Navy is their own manufacturing platform, combat systems are national production, but many of the specific weapons are not developed by the UK itself, and the RAF’s weapons are pretty much the same.

Israel does not believe that you can ask the European countries, as anti-ship missiles are produced in which country, they all say it is France, and Britain has nothing to do.

Israel if you want to retaliate, Alan Wilson although can not change the specific weapons, but can be friendly to tell Israel, armed helicopters are actually a good way to deal with missile boats. What? Israel doesn’t have helicopter carriers? Well, there’s no way around that.

Israel did have helicopter formations, but at this time Israel was using land helicopters to attack the Sinai Peninsula, and while the losses at sea were certainly worth the heartache, Israel well understood that the outcome of the war depended on land.

Britain at that time to establish two air defense towers really is to defend the Suez Canal from war interference, this length, width and height of seventy meters of steel and concrete cubes of huge engineering, has been half the height of the Pyramid of Khufu, Britain can not be the Suez Canal along the construction of such air defense towers, the two towers roughly in the Suez Canal north and south ends of the east bank, the southern end of the air defense tower in the city of Suez, to play the role of protecting the city of Suez. role.

As long as the air defense towers are not lost in this way, the Egyptian army will have a fulcrum for a counterattack. The remaining fortified towns are in fact nothing more than some of the towns established by transplanting the Khrushchev building, which are certainly more suitable for street fighting than the communities in Europe and the United States, but certainly cannot be compared to the air defense towers.

After Israel hit the nail in the air defense tower in El Arish, it knew that such a fortress could not be conquered in a short time, and that the Egyptian army in the Sinai Peninsula, which numbered one hundred and fifty thousand, could not all rely on the strongholds for a deadlocked defense, and in fact American spy satellite photos proved this point, with Egyptian troops from two armored divisions being assembled.

The Israeli Ministry of Defense quickly adjusted its offensive strategy, the air force picked two towns on the road that must be bombed indiscriminately, to open up a channel to kill the Sinai Peninsula hinterland, and to wipe out these two Egyptian armored divisions, hoping to establish a victory in the Sinai Peninsula, the longer the longer, the more dangerous the direction of Jordan and Syria.

Israeli helicopter units are carrying infantry and making airborne landings behind the Egyptian army, thus disrupting the Egyptian rear chain of command in one fell swoop.

Outside the battlefield, Israel is also striving to gain support from Europe and the United States, especially the United States, through diplomatic efforts. The Arab camp side has already made a great deal of noise, and the countries of the Religion of Peace that can be named are either directly participating in the war or are going to express their assistance to the countries that are participating in the war, or at worst they are slamming Israel’s aggressive behavior, and the latest country to slam Israel is the Sultanate of Sanibar.

The same Zanzibar that was used by Britain to balance offshore in East Africa, where both Iraqi and Egyptian aircraft carriers are based, and where the Sultan of Zanzibar enjoys the courtesy of the two Arab powers every now and then, and that’s a blessing that’s still small, isn’t it?

It is for this reason that the two big brothers are taking part in the war against Israel, and of course, the Sultanate of Zanzibar has to show its support, but since Zanzibar is only an island and is not a resource country, it can only take a stand and make its contribution in the international community.

The Arab side created such a big noise, Israel can not be idle, mainly on the diplomatic work in Europe and the United States, especially the free world’s strongest United States.

The reason was that the Arab countries wanted to cut off the water from the Jordan River, basically to destroy Israel, a war that was started by the Arab side, only without the use of guns.

Israel, in order to ensure its national survival, had to throw its weight around to stop this genocidal behavior by the Arab League.

It cannot be said that Israel’s argument is entirely arbitrary. The Final Protocols of the Congress of Vienna, concluded during the Napoleonic era, provided for the free navigation of “rivers flowing through different countries”, unified taxation and other systems, and declared that the river Rhein and other rivers were subject to the system of free navigation and other systems.

Later on, after successive international conferences, the power of international rivers was continuously improved, and in 1966, the International Law Association adopted the International Rules for the Utilization of Rivers in Helsinki, which put forward a number of new concepts and principles and became a very influential document in the field of international river law.

This document clearly stipulates that an international river basin is the entire geographical area spanning two or more countries within the dividing line of a water system, including surface water and groundwater flowing to the same terminus within that area.

Water disputes are also in this convention, although the United States has never cared about what international conventions, the United States and Mexico’s Colorado River and the Rio Grande River disputes, fully demonstrated that the United States has a big fist on the style of reasoning, but that’s not the United States, the international conventions can not control the United States.

But the United States said it can control other countries, for the vast majority of countries in the world, this is the truth.

There is no doubt that the scale of this Middle East war far exceeds the one in 1948, and even Allen Wilson feels that it exceeds the fourth Middle East war in his mind.

The war was fought with great intensity right from the start, and Syria shooting at Israeli cities with scud missiles was more of a Saddam-only thing.

With the current intensity, there was no telling when the stockpiles of the participating countries would be shot out, and while Israel had some production capacity, it still couldn’t cope with a war of this magnitude. Now Israel’s plea for help is also essentially a hope that foreign aid will come down to help.

The Foreign Office was again the busiest department, but then again, it had been busy since the first day of the war, and what attitude to take in the face of Israel’s plea for help was again at the center of the discussion.

Whitehall’s opinion was that the Arab world could not be offended, especially as the Saudis had already warned of an oil embargo, and the price to be paid for siding with Israel would be high. If Britain had lost all influence in the Middle East, it would be acceptable to take a common position with the US.

A war with Israel is politically correct in the Arab world, and Britain doesn’t care about Jordan and Iraq, two countries armed with British weapons? Not to mention Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, two rich feudal emirates. That’s a loss Britain can’t afford.

“And we’re very skeptical of the true position of the Saudis, who for a long time we thought were a pro-American country, which they are. The US actually has plenty of natural resources to deal with rising oil prices if an oil embargo is imposed on Europe and the US, but what about the European side? Would North Sea oil, French oil in Algeria, a little farther out in the Gulf of Guinea, add up to enough to fill the European countries’ usage?” Alan Wilson took the production figures of several oil-producing regions and said in front of the cabinet ministers, “The most important thing is that the countries around the Gulf of Guinea are either independent or in the middle of a war, such as the Portuguese African colonies.”

“Will these countries that have become independent side with the Middle East for the benefit of the oil price hike? Our influence compared to the money hike? Well, it’s best if that option doesn’t come up.”

Alan Wilson’s meaning was simple, this choice posed could have an outcome that no one wanted.

“According to our intelligence, what can be concluded now is that the air defense towers of Arish and Suez are in the hands of Egypt, and when we first wanted to establish the two air defense towers, it was in consideration of the Suez Canal being exempted from the threat of war, and as long as these two towers and the cities of Arish and Suez are in the hands of Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula can’t be said to have fallen completely. The two air defense towers are also operating the Rapier air defense missile system, and although the Egyptian Air Force is dead in name only, the defense and control system is still in operation. The IAF can’t yet do a wild bombardment of the Egyptian Army in the Sinai.”

At this moment, Kissinger, who had just finished meeting with the Israeli ambassador, was anxiously awaiting the appearance of Nixon, who was still on top of things with the judiciary, but the situation in Israel no longer allowed the U.S. to stand idly by.

At this moment, only the United States can save Israel, and the entire international community, facing the accusation of all Arab countries in one voice, Israel has been isolated as never before.
