Chapter 1666 The Worries of the Middle East Bare (third update, please subscribe)
Middle East, Israel.
The golden sand dunes and desolate Gobi are scorching under the scorching sun, steam that twists its sight.
Suddenly, several VT1 tanks roared out of the sand dunes like silent beasts. They slowly moved forward in the Gobi Desert, and the heavy tracks pressed deep marks, although the tanks were very fast The car body is bumpy, but the muzzle remains vertical.
The roar of the engine is in sharp contrast to the silence of the desert, and the tank engine is breathing a strong smell of diesel and a scorching smell. Their targets are a series of targets in the distance, which are steel targets of several tanks, quietly waiting for the baptism of iron rain.
Suddenly, the moving tank adjusted its firing boundary, and the tank's gun barrel was raised to aim at the vague outline. The main gun of the tank began to roar, and the flames emitted from the muzzle drew arcs in the sand and dust, and the air was filled with smoke and tension. .
The armor-piercing projectile dragged the tracer and flew towards the target board, while the target in the distance broke out in response.
The viewers standing on the high ground in the distance were watching all this through the telescope.
"The Magachi tank is really impressive with such marching shooting."
One viewer exclaimed, his voice aroused other People agree.
"Yes, its prototype is the VT-1D tank. Its performance is impeccable. Its performance is even more advanced and more reliable than the American M60 tank."
Salon, an armored soldier officer, echoed. But his eyes did not leave the shooting range where the smoke was still emitting.
These VT-1 tanks were mostly introduced from the SEA after the "Suez Canal Crisis". Since then, the Israel Defense Forces have become loyal users of VT tanks. They not only purchased the early A-types and now D-type, and also introduced production lines.
The Magachi tank that is currently moving is the domestic model of the VT-1D tank.
In the past decade, the VT-1 tank has been continuously improved. The improved B-type after the Suez crisis has increased the turret. While the internal space is expanded, the L7 105mm tank has been replaced. The cannon has increased its deflection angle, and the deflection angle reaches 10 degrees.
Compared with the previous models, the D-type has been completely improved. In order to strengthen defense, its turret has been redesigned, from small head to small tail to large tail, and adopts an eccentric circle design to hide the tail warehouse while ensuring ±30° heading angle protection. This design also eliminates the arrangement of side armor and reduces weight.
The improvement of this idea is similar to the turret change from T54 to T72, and its turret protection capability has been further increased to 260 mm. This is why the 46-ton VT-1D tank is even called "The tank with the strongest protection capability in the Western world."
But its maneuverability is not bad, it uses an AVDS-1790 diesel engine licensed in the United States. After being improved by BMW, its power is as high as 900 horsepower. Thanks to its powerful engine, it has an amazing speed of 60 kilometers.
Thick armor and excellent mobility are therefore the perfect combination of protection and mobility. It is precisely because of its excellent performance that has led to the introduction of Israel. "But, although we have such weapons, our strength is far inferior to those countries in terms of overall strength. If they attack us, the consequences will be unimaginable." br>
Salon's words made the generals around him frown.
In the past few years, the atmosphere of unity between Arab countries has become increasingly strong, and Syria, Jordan and Lebanon have reached an agreement on the establishment of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the use of the Jordan River. Egypt and other Arab countries also expressed their support for this.
Because it tries to change the flow of the upper Jordan River so that it will not be used by Israel, this is a matter of life and death for Israel. So three years ago, the Israeli Air Force bombed the key to this water conservancy plan - the upper Jordan River.
Although this did not lead to war, the relationship between the two sides became increasingly tense. By last year, I was extremely nervous. On one hand, Israeli shelled guerrillas, while on the other hand, the Arab parties continued to expand their military strength.
At the beginning of the year, the air forces of both sides finally fought and six Syrian aircraft were shot down.
The attacks still occur from time to time, and the situation has reached a very dangerous level.
Listening with Sharon's worries, Moses Dayan pursed his lips, stared at the tank in the desert with his one-eye, and said: "Just like New York The Times said: “In order to prevent the attacks, there is no other way than to exercise force against Syria. "This is the last and only choice."
As Minister of Defense, Dayan has been preparing for war for the past few years. Three years ago, Dayan took office against the new position Prime Minister Ashkell was dissatisfied and resigned. Then, he ran to Vietnam, where war was everywhere, to inspect and learn the latest local war experience.
During the period, he went to SEA for inspection again. After Dayan returned from Southeast Asia, he learned that Egypt was increasing troops to Sinai and the Syrian army was also actively deploying defenses. With his sensitivity to military, Dayan realized that a war would be inevitable.
He is very sensitive to military affairs, so he realized that the third Middle East War would definitely be inevitable.
Dayang was particularly surprised that the war was about to begin. In Israel, both the top officials of the cabinet and ordinary people had no confidence and were worried that the Israeli army would not be able to defeat the number of people. The dominant Arab coalition.
In order to boost morale, Dayan went to the grassroots to inspect the troops. As the hero of the last war, the soldiers immediately cheered as soon as he appeared.
It is also under his efforts that Israel is preparing for a new round of war.
Sharon said as he listened to the Minister of Defense. "Now they are looking for reasons to start a war, Minister,"
Salon's words made Dayan nod deeply.
In the past few months, newspapers in Moscow, Cairo and Damascus have all heard the news that "Israel troops are gathering forces in the north to prepare for attacking Syria."
Faced with this situation, Israel repeatedly asked the Soviet ambassador to conduct on-site investigations in its northern border area to clarify whether Israel was really gathering troops, but it was rejected by the Soviet ambassador Zubachin.
"The real root of the war lies in the Kremlin."
Dayan said: "The Kremlin is promoting a new round of war. In any case, we must be prepared and if necessary, we must give them severe damage before they complete their preparations. Break them out simply and neatly! "
When saying this, Dayan, as the Minister of Defense, spoke extremely confidently. Even in terms of military strength and equipment, Egypt, Syria, Jordan and others were more than Israel He is even stronger, and he also believes that he will definitely win.
What he said was faith, and victory was the only thing he had to do.
"Col. Liu, what do you think?"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Dayan turned his attention to the armored colonel next to him, the military cooperation between SEA and Israel was very extensive. He not only exported weapons to them, but also sent military advisers to help them train the air force. and armored forces.
Listening to Dayan's question, Liu Xiangrong said: "Mr. Minister, just like you said in Chang'an - for Israel, there is no other way but victory, because Once you fail, the entire country will perish, so you will surely win.”
Liu Xiangrong, as a military adviser, has not only conducted an inspection of Israel in the past two years, but also went to Jordan. He found that compared to the Arabs, the biggest feature of Israel is that they all know the price of failure.
And what about those Arab countries?
They were just fantasizing about victory, dreaming of destroying Israel, killing all the Jews or driving them out of the sea.
Those people naively think that the Jews will not resist.
Naughty thinks that such a terrifying threat can make the Jews feel fear. They don’t understand that the more such a threat, the more they believe these Jews--there are nowhere to retreat.
One side fights for the victory of nothingness and ethereality, and the other side fights for real survival, abandoning everything else in such a war. Who would really do her best with such a pair of parties?
Although he was on the training ground, Liu Xiangrong not only had no worries about the future, he had even seen the end of the war - Israel would win the war again.
Essenting Liu Xiangrong's answer, Dayan smiled and asked: "Col. If we take the initiative, will you continue to support us?"
Contact Liu Xiangrong did not immediately answer Dayan's inquiry.
Since the end of the Suez Canal Crisis, Israel's relations with the SEA have heated up sharply, as European and American countries refuse to provide advanced weapons to them, and the SEA has become its most important source of weapons.
In addition to weapons, the two sides also cooperate militarily.
In addition to economic interests, such cooperation also has political needs. After all, the revival movement led by Egypt has an extremely serious impact on the interests of SEA in the Middle East, whether it is the oil fields on the peninsula. The Kingdom of Iraq is closely related to the interests of the SEA, and the Revival Movement poses a serious threat to these interests. As long as the Revival Movement exists for one day, the interests of the SEA will be threatened.
Only Israel can use victory to dismantle the revival movement. In fact, the revival movement launched by Nasser in Egypt was the loss of people's hearts and the loss of influence in the Middle East countries due to the continuous failure of the Middle East war.
For this reason, supporting Israel is an inevitable option.
Thinking of the causes and consequences, Liu Xiangrong said:
"Mr. Minister, just like we first exported fighter jets to you, our support for you will not be affected by objective factors."
His answer made Dayan laugh, and he said:
"Thank you, Colonel."
As the end of the last round of shooting, the tanks slowly stopped their movements, like giant beasts sleeping in the desert. A temporary tranquility was restored on the training ground, but under the tranquility, there was an undercurrent surging.
The wind in the desert rolled up sand and dust, covering the training ground like fog. The figures of tanks appeared and disappeared in the sand and dust, adding a bit of mystery and uncertainty. And at this moment, everyone's hearts are tightly held together, and people are both expecting and afraid of the future and the situation.
