Chapter 676 Post-war order

The clouds of war shrouded over the world finally dispersed a little. Eleven years ago, Selov deceived, prepared in advance, and fired fire at the United Nations General Assembly, and finally let the US troops withdraw from the Guantanamo base. The Soviet Union took out all the Ivan, who was in the bottom of the box, restarted nuclear tests during the Cuban missile crisis, and carried out first-level combat readiness to fool the United States. Eleven years later, the Soviet Union had just launched second-level combat readiness and made corresponding arrangements to resolve the Mediterranean confrontation. As the same thing, the Soviet Union was stronger.

Selov had no special feeling. The Mediterranean confrontation in history was also the result of the United States' retreat. The second maritime confrontation between the two sides was tied one-to-one. The difference from history was the land. In the original history of the United States and the Soviet Union, the Arabs on the land were defeated, which made the Soviet Union very embarrassed in the confrontation with the United States.

This time it is different. In fact, many places have been different. The Arab side has made great progress in preparing for war, training and war methods. Finally, this time the Soviet Union did not have to take action personally, and gave a try with the United States without any scruples.

News of the US Navy retreating quickly spread to the Warsaw Pact countries and the Arab countries supported by the Soviet Union. On the contrary, the Israeli soldiers who relied on the defense line to kill the Arab coalition forces had an inevitable impact. Although the air transport was still in progress, Israel, which was surrounded by enemy forces, could not gain the initiative. All directions were like iron barrels.

As long as the US air transport continues to fail, Israel can certainly continue to persevere and cause losses to the Arab coalition. But this kind of war is meaningless and only bloodshed in vain. So far, Israel has lost all the results of all wars except Jerusalem, and Syria and Egypt have recovered their lost territory.

Considering this situation, even if he was unwilling to accept it, Madam Meier could not continue. He expressed his intention to stop the war. On the front line of contact between the two sides, Israel had killed more than 5,000 people. Although the death toll of more than 20,000 people in Arabia was low, it still made Israel unable to bear it. Both sides had consumed more than half of the tanks and more than half of the planes, and even the Republican Guards in Egypt, Syria and Iraq also suffered heavy losses.

This is mainly because Israel established a solid defense line before the war. Once the active attack was ineffective, the backup defense line would work, so it withstood the Arab coalition, which was nearly three times the number of people it had. Four hundred thousand Israeli soldiers firmly defended the defense line, allowing the Arab army to continue to increase to more than 900,000 Arab troops to no longer move forward.

"The Arab coalition can't continue to fight, but is there any information on this aspect? Which of the troops of Syria, Iraq and Egypt has achieved greater results? Or is it more combat effectiveness?" Selov was very interested in this issue. Egypt has always been the leader of the Arab world, at least so far. Syria's development momentum under the leadership of Assad is also very rapid, not to mention Iraq, which has changed color. According to usual experience, it seems that the countries led by ** are relatively strong in combat, and there are too many examples, including China, Vietnam and Yemen, and the civil wars in the early stages of the Korean War.

This time, the Arab side, the three main countries that sent troops, Egypt, sent 300,000 troops, Syria, 200,000 troops, Iraq, 150,000 troops, Jordan, and 100,000 troops, plus Libya, Sudan, and South Yemen, Palestine gathered the military forces of almost all Arab countries, except for Algeria, which had no independent success.

Having said that, Algeria seems to be dissatisfied with France's failure to support Arabia, and another trend of independent thought emerges. I wonder if this will be successful and how long will France preserve this overseas province last?

"From the recovery of lost territories, the Egyptian army has the strongest combat effectiveness, but the tough battles are mainly concentrated near the Golan Heights." Morikin, director of the First General Administration, stated the detailed situation.

At the beginning of the war, the Israeli army was completely stunned. By interrogating the Israeli prisoners, the Syrian Army Command learned that the Israeli tank chariots stationed on the front line of the Golan Heights were completely at a loss in the face of the sudden war. They even complained that they did not know where the artillery fire was fired. The Israeli Air Force also suffered heavy losses due to being intercepted by Syrian air defense missiles and self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery, so they had to forbid pilots to approach the battlefield for 20 kilometers.

In the northern section where the battle was most intense, the Syrian Army's 7th Infantry Division took the lead with two rows of slowly and parallel-propelled tanks. The tanks acting as the striker also installed mine-sweeping plows or mine-sweeping rollers at the front of the vehicle that specifically destroyed the minefields, followed by a large number of tank destroyers and self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery. Shaham, the commander of the 188th Brigade of the Israeli Army, issued an order to defend the 74th Tank Battalion stationed there. Battalion Commander Nafsh dismantled the troops into three tank platoons in groups to attack Syria

The army carried out counterattacks. The tanker with rich combat experience keenly discovered that if the Syrian armored column wanted to launch an assault, it had to cross a ridge south of Mount Helmon. So he personally led more than 20 tanks to the commanding heights of Mount Buster. Nafsh observed that the minesweeping tanks and boat bridge tanks of the 7th Division of the Syrian Army were passing through a narrow disc-shaped canyon, so he ordered the tanks under his command to gather fire to attack. This caused huge losses to Syrian tanks.

The entire Golan Heights battle was completely a mess. Due to the chaos in the battlefield, the commanders at the level of the company commander of the two battalions can often determine the fate of the war. For Syria, as long as the troops can reach the Arik Bridge, the throat road at the border between Syria and Jordan, the victory will be won. After obtaining the supplement from the Iraqi army, the Arab coalition forces made the Israeli main force attacking Egypt return to aid, turning the war into a war of attrition.

From Morigin's mouth, the battle for the Golan Heights caused Israel to give up its original plan to attack Egypt and crushed the war that Israel took the initiative to start, at the cost of losing 800 tanks provided by the Soviet Union to Syria and Iraq.

"What can we do? Our allies are at this level!" Selov forced himself not to think about the question of how the 800 tanks disappeared. Because Iraq was fighting with Syria, he didn't know what Iraq's combat effectiveness would be like after the color change, but even stronger ones would be limited.

This war in less than a month has turned into a war of attrition, successfully destroying the wealth accumulated by both sides in recent years. Now the fronts that both sides are in contact with are full of weapons wreckage. The Arab coalition lost 2,700 tanks alone, and Israel lost more than 900 vehicles. In the end, it can be said that there is still no winner.

Of course, after this, Israel changed its national defense strategy, and the current participating countries do not know. Two consecutive times were dragged into a war of attrition by the Arab countries, allowing Israel, which was less likely to carefully build a defensive zone to protect itself, and at the same time, use a powerful air force as Vichy. This was the main strategy of the government after Madam Meier.

The large-scale war has ceased, the skirmishes are still ongoing, and both sides are still on high alert. However, Soviet Foreign Minister Gromiko and US Secretary of State Kissinger have set out to the Middle East countries for diplomatic mediation. As for President Nixon, he is very busy. The U.S. House of Representatives decided that the House Judicial Committee shall be responsible for the investigation, collecting Nixon's evidence of guilt, and preparing for the impeachment of Nixon. At this time, he has no time to go abroad, but to appear in court.

Soviet Foreign Minister Gromiko visited Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Libya and Morocco in succession. Wherever he passed, he was unanimously welcomed by the people of these countries. The leaders of all countries welcomed the arrival of the Soviet Foreign Minister with the highest standards. The courage shown by the Soviet Union in this Middle East war and the actions of the Mediterranean confrontation won the hearts of the people of Arab countries. The newspapers of all countries expressed their sincere gratitude to the role of the Soviet Union.

This is the benefit of a large population. With the increase in oil prices, many European countries have also adopted policy adjustments to Arab countries. In fact, it is similar to the Soviet Union's policies and easing policies.

In contrast to Gromiko's warm welcome, US Secretary of State Kissinger was much smaller. In addition to visiting Israel, there were also Saudi Arabia, Iran and the UAE. In addition to being simply welcomed in Israel, there were no welcome ceremony in Saudi Arabia, Iran and the UAE.

In addition to Iran, these countries are all Arab countries, and Iran is also a member of the peace religion. Although King Pahlavi is not interested in religion, he also has to worry about public opinion. It is not easy to accept Kissinger's visit. Now if Kissinger shows his identity and walks on the streets of these countries, it is possible that he will be killed by extremists.

Andropov, Ustinov and Selov were discussing the changes after this war. After all, the Middle East is very important to the Soviet Union. What will the rise in oil prices evolve now, which country will benefit, and whether the benefiting countries will impact the current order, all these need to be evaluated.

"Saudi Arabia and Iran will benefit, but in fact it is not good for our allies. Except for Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Iran are countries with a strong religious atmosphere. Be careful of the United States using this to support them to impact the current order." Central Secretary Andropov analyzed the pros and cons of the pros and cons, and any of the happenings have positive and negative consequences.
