Although some gifts are heavy, they are unknown, and unknown contributions are the most important.
In fact, no one knows better than Li Yian when it comes to giving gifts. He is not only good at giving gifts to old friends, but also to new friends.
While it has taken ten years to send a great gift to Japan, it is also time to package and send the carefully prepared gift to the wealthy countries in the Middle East.
After nine months of preparation, on September 23, 1956, when the world's attention was attracted by the "Suez issue" and the "global public trial" in Southeast Asia, Yemen Once again, a report was submitted to the United Nations asking the United Nations to urge Saudi Arabia to withdraw its troops and return its occupied territories.
Of course, this proposal... has no results. It only gained the reputation of the United Nations for "calling on all countries to respect the territorial integrity of other countries." Apart from that, there is nothing else. Even for many people, they I don’t know where the country of Yemen came from. As for the territorial dispute between them and Saudi Arabia, is it important?
No one cares at all!
Now, for the whole world, the only two major events are Suez and the war criminals trial.
As for Yemen, no one cares!
However, no one knows that what Yemen is waiting for is those pieces of waste paper from the United Nations!
After the United Nations issued this statement on the morning of September 23, Eastern Time in the United States, the next day, at about 4 a.m. on September 23, local time in Yemen, thirty-six "Butcher Birds" loaded with aerial bombs roared and took off. .
The pilots on these planes are not Yemenis who speak Arabic, but a group of short Asian pilots. If there are Indians here, they will definitely bark loudly - "Damn it." Japs".
Yes, they are the Japanese pilots of the Black Knight Company. In the Tudor War, they almost destroyed the entire Indian Air Force and inflicted heavy losses on the Indian Army. Now, they appear in the sky again!
In addition to the "Butcher Bird", there are a dozen F1A fighter jets in the rear. Although they are second-hand goods eliminated by the Nanyang Air Force, their excellent performance, coupled with a group of battle-hardened fighters The ace pilot is absolutely king-like on the battlefield in the Middle East.
In order to ensure the suddenness of the attack, radio silence has been maintained since the fleet took off. When the "Butcher Birds" flew close to the undulating sand dunes and barren mountains, Sakai, who was piloting the F1a fighter, Saburo, the former Japanese Navy's top ace pilot who was once known as the "Navy Shootdown King", like many others, joined the "Black Knight Company" eight years ago. As a pilot of the company, he not only fought with the Indian Air Force He has also "battled" with the Nanyang Air Force and the Naval Air Force. His air combat experience is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary pilots.
Different from the Butcher Bird flying close to the ground, the fleet led by Saburo Sakai maintained an altitude of less than 100 meters. Affected by ground clutter and mountains, it was difficult for radar to detect aircraft at this altitude.
Sakai, who was driving a jet fighter, observed the fleet and occasionally commanded the fleet by shaking the wings. In front of him, the pilots of the attack aircraft formation were concentrating on avoiding the sand dunes and mountains on the ground. All the "butcher birds" were flying at almost zero altitude.
Just like this, dozens of minutes later, when the fleet appeared near Jeddah, most of the Saudi pilots at the airport were still asleep. Morita, the leader, took the lead and directly swept the pilots with 70mm rockets. dormitory.
"Attack, attack, attack freely as planned!"
Radio silence, broken at 5:12 am, without any suspense, just like in India, they attack first The pilot dormitory is gone - compared to the aircraft, for a country like Saudi Arabia, the more precious thing is the pilot. Without the pilot, even if the aircraft is bought, it is just a pile of scrap metal.
At the very beginning of the attack, dozens of pilots were sent to heaven in their sleep. At this time, explosions were heard one after another at the airport. Fighters, transport planes and bombers were bombarded by fierce bombings. , was blown to pieces.
While the airport was being raided, the military camp near Jeddah was also bombed. Heavy bombs were dropped directly into the barracks at low altitudes. Thousands of The soldier was blown into the sky.
The air raid only lasted twenty minutes. Twenty minutes later, when the last "Butcher Bird" left, Jeddah had been reduced to a sea of flames - the military camp, the airport, and even the Together with the two poor little warships in the port, they also suffered a devastating blow.
At the same time, the Yemeni army on the border also rushed across the border. Amidst the roar of heavy artillery, the Saudi army guarding the border suffered a devastating blow.
This was a well-planned attack!
Neither the method nor the intensity of the attack could have been imagined by the Arabs. From the making of the plan to the launch of the attack, the Yemenis... were only involved. All air cover was carried out by mercenaries, and even the artillery was commanded by mercenaries. Operation.
On the day the war began, Saudi Arabia's defenses on the southwest border were completely defeated, and tens of thousands of Yemeni troops entered Saudi Arabia in a mighty manner.
Unstoppable all the way.
When the Yemeni army crossed the border, Riyadh was still sleeping. King Aziz, who had just inherited the throne three years ago, was awakened from his sleep. When he was woken up by his attendants, he even subconsciously He thought it was his younger brother Faisal who launched the coup. Although he was the eldest brother, his prestige and ability were far inferior to his younger brother. Even in his opinion, last year's assassination and the Free Officers Movement were just a cover, and Faisal might also be involved. . "What's going on? Is it Faisal?"
Aziz asked loudly, being suddenly awakened.
Fortunately, the attendant is his confidant. The black eunuch who has followed him for many years - Saudi Arabia still uses slaves today. Those black slaves from Africa are all castrated eunuchs. They are widely present in the royal family. And in the homes of tribal dignitaries, there is even a slave market in Saudi Arabia to this day. Thousands of black slaves from Sudan are sold every year. The Arabs in northern Sudan plunder tens of thousands of black people as slaves every year, some of which , would enter Saudi Arabia through the northern Egyptian desert and be sold in the slave market.
And this kind of slave trade continued until the end of the 20th century. Although it was nominally abolished a few years later, that was only on the surface.
For the king's reaction, the black slave eunuch was not surprised and said quickly:
"Your Majesty, it is Yemen. The Yemeni army has crossed the border and is attacking Guitar at full speed. They are still Bombed the local airport.”
"The Crown Prince is on his way, Your Highness."
The Crown Prince mentioned by the attendant is his younger brother Feisalli. He is not only the Crown Prince, but also the Prime Minister of the country.
"Yemen, how dare they attack us? Have they forgotten how they failed?"
The victory more than 20 years ago filled Aziz's tone with disdain , as long as it is not his good brother, there is nothing to worry about. The Yemenis... do not pose a threat at all. They were able to defeat the Yemenis back then, and the same is true now.
Soon, Aziz saw Feisalee. As soon as he saw him, Aziz said,
"Fessaly, what should we do now?"
"Fight back!"
Fessaly said directly.
"We defeated the Yemenis in three or four years, and we can still defeat them now. Your Majesty, please allow me to lead the army to carry out a counterattack."
Twenty-two years ago, it was Fei Salli led the army to defeat the Yemenis, captured the city and territory along the way, and forced Yemen to sign an alliance under the city. If it were not for the intervention of the British, he could even occupy the entire Yemen.
"Your Majesty, this time, we will occupy the entire Yemen! Defeat them completely!"
Looking at his confident brother, although Aziz clearly knew that he had this ability, he was worried that he would He would not take the opportunity to control the army and then force him to abdicate. Considering the recent dissatisfaction with him within the royal family, Aziz knew very well that his good brother must have contributed to this, so he said.
“Fessali, my brother, you are no longer the young prince you were more than 20 years ago. You are the prime minister of the kingdom. You must not put yourself in danger. , we have other generals, let them defeat the Yemenis!"
Faisal was very clear about his elder brother's little thoughts, and he said after just thinking about it for a moment.
“They can be allowed to pass, but the commander must be a member of our family. The current army is full of conspirators trying to overthrow us, and they must not be allowed to take control of the army.”
Aziz said after listening to his brother's reminder.
"Don't worry, we all know that those guys are just a group of young people. What can they do?"
The king's reaction made Feisalli frown slightly, worried. As the situation worsened, he thought about it and said.
"Your Majesty, we must send troops from all over the country as soon as possible to prevent the invasion of the Yemenis!"
