Chapter 1017 The Suez Canal War (Fourth update, please subscribe)

At 5 pm on October 29, 2006, the Israeli 202nd Paratrooper Brigade, supported by the French Air Force, landed east of the Suez Canal At the 65-kilometer Mitra Pass, 45,000 troops were dispatched at the same time. The troops crossed the border into four routes and entered the southern Sinai Peninsula. They rampaged all the way and showed an unstoppable momentum...

The second Middle East War has begun.

War breaks out!

In the past half month, the Egyptians who cheered for this diplomatic victory were all dumbfounded. But after the surprise, there was even more anger!

Instantly, Egyptians were outraged, and that evening, Nasser gave a radio address.

For a moment, the shock turned into cheers. That night, a large number of Egyptian troops entered the Sinai from the canal, and T34 tanks, SU76M, and SU100 self-propelled artillery appeared in the Sinai Peninsula.

The Egyptian army marched into the Sinai Peninsula amidst the cheers of the people. In the midst of the cheers, hundreds of thousands of Egyptian troops entered the east bank of the canal. Just when the Egyptian army was preparing for a large-scale counterattack , at 6 pm on October 30, Britain and France issued an "ultimatum" to Egypt on the grounds of protecting canal shipping, requiring Egypt and Israel to cease fire and allow British and French troops to enter the canal zone, otherwise they would send troops to intervene.

"Reply within 12 hours: 1. The two governments immediately cease hostilities on land, sea and air; 2. The armies of the two countries withdraw from each other, with the Egyptian army withdrawing to the west bank of the Suez Canal and the Israeli army withdrawing to the other side of the canal. 10 miles east; 3. The Egyptian and Israeli governments agreed that the British and French forces would temporarily occupy Fouad Port, Ismailia, and the city of Suez in order to isolate the two countries’ armies and ensure the navigation of all national ships.”
< br>The news coming out of the radio was in English. Tourists from all over the world in the hotel were all standing in front of the radio, talking to each other, which made Ma Baoguo a little confused. The reason why he came to Cairo again was He was invited by Hussein and was going to Riyadh. But I never thought that as soon as I arrived in Cairo, I would encounter such a big event.

"What are the British planning to do?"

"Are they going to invade Egypt?"

In the hotel bar, tourists from various countries were talking to each other, and some tourists had a slight frown on their eyebrows. The slight joy seems to be due to the rise of the British Empire.

I am a hero again!

The British dispatched 7 aircraft carriers, the scene is shocking, the sun never sets and the empire still has the power!

Britain and France dispatched more than 200 aircraft and more than 100 warships. The mighty fleet directly broke into the waters off Egypt and issued an ultimatum to Egypt.

"Will Nasser accept this ultimatum?"

Almost everyone is concerned about this issue.

"It should be possible. After all, this is an ultimatum!"

"Yes, between countries, strength must speak for itself in the end!"

Listening to their conversation, although Ma Baoguo did not know Nasser, but thinking of the "pride and arrogance" revealed in their words when chatting with Hussein and others, Ma Baoguo could not bear to shake his head and said.

"They overlooked one thing, Nasser is proud!"

"That's right,"

Xia Dongjie, sitting opposite him, nodded in agreement.

"He came to power relying on nationalism. Nationalists may compromise, but they will never surrender, let alone surrender without a fight. Even if they compromise, they will definitely fight before fighting!" said Come on, Xia Dongjie said to Baoguo.

"It seems that we shouldn't be able to go to Riyadh. After all, the war has broken out!"

Xia Dongjie took a sip of wine and said.

"Cairo is also uneasy. You never know when the war will come here. Let's see if there are any planes at the airport. Let's take the last plane to Rome!"

"Yeah."

Naturally, Ma Baoguo would not object to Xia Dongjie's suggestion. After all, they all came from the era of war and chaos, and it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Besides, in this matter, he is only a supporting role. Xia Dongjie is the protagonist in this matter, and he is also his nominal leader.

A few hours later, at Cairo Airport, when Xia Dongjie and Ma Baoguo boarded a C717, which was the last flight to Rome, the President in Cairo faced the Soviet Ambassador. , Nasser said.

"Mr. Ambassador, I have decided to reject the ultimatum issued by the British and French."

"Mr. President, I believe that any proud nation will not accept such a humiliating ultimatum, and please believe that the Soviet Union will definitely be on your side”

Although the ambassador has not yet received instructions from Moscow, Borisenko, as a diplomat, is very clear that this is an unprecedented opportunity for the Soviet Union-support for Egypt will help the Soviet Union gain access to the entire Arab world. Friendship, for the Soviet Union, which has always been interested in getting involved in the Middle East, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As early as last year, the Soviet Union borrowed the help of Czechoslovakia to send 200 fighter jets, 24 bombers, 6 warships, 100 medium tanks and a large number of light weapons to Egypt. These weapons were sold to Egypt at a price It only costs US$80 million, less than one-tenth of the actual selling price. The reason why the Soviet Union provided so many arms at such favorable prices was to win over Egypt and make Egypt a member of the Soviet camp, or in other words, to be closer to the Soviet Union rather than to Western countries.

For this reason, the Soviet Union supported Egypt's move to take back the Suez Canal. After all, as we all know, the Suez Canal is an asset of the United Kingdom and France. Nasser's move made him immediately side with Britain and France. The opposite of the Soviet Union, this is undoubtedly a good thing. In order to show its support for Egypt, in the past few months, in addition to increasing the training of Egyptian Air Force pilots and tank drivers, the Soviet Union also shipped more arms to Egypt and also expressed its support on various occasions. Support for Egypt.

With full support, from the beginning, the Soviet Union expected further actions from Britain and France. And now, the invasion of Egypt by Britain and France will completely turn this country into the Soviet Union!

This is the most important thing.

"We not only need more weapons, but also your real support, Mr. Ambassador!"

Faced with Nasser's request, Borisenko promised directly.

"Of course, please believe that the Soviet Union will definitely support you with all its strength."
