Babylonian Empire

"Qusay, you want to go to Lebanon?" Izzat said, "Absolutely not. We have provided a lot of assistance to Yasser. Your safety is the most important thing. It's not worth your risk."

"Yes, Your Excellency Qusay, you can't go!" Chief of Staff Fat also said.

"I'm not going there." Zhang Feng said, "While Uncle Yasser is fighting, what we need to do is to give him greater support from the rear. The PLO needs backup."

After all, this time he is braving the world's disgrace with color, and the public opinion all over the world is against him.

Only by resisting the Israeli attack on the frontal battlefield, and at the same time cooperating with the alliance of Arab countries and the condemnation of other countries, can Arafat be helped to the greatest extent.

"Get me a helicopter, I need to go back to Baghdad." Zhang Feng said.

Without further ado, the support of the old man must be obtained first. Although the old man welcomed Arafat very much before Arafat came, Zhang Feng knew that he had better not steal the limelight from the old man. Iraq is a matter for a big country in the Middle East, so Dad has to come forward.

Besides, it is necessary to report to the old man about the battles in the Southern Military Region these days.

... Arafat was lying on his desk. He has been busy these days. Fortunately, he was reminded in advance by the young man from Iraq, Qusay, that he was ready.

Israel will never give up until it completely destroys itself. However, for the legitimate rights of the Palestinians and the establishment of a Palestinian state, he knows that he must stand up and use his backbone to support the Palestinians. Sky.

Abu?Iyad walked in, his expression a little ugly.

"Abramovich, how is the situation?" Arafat asked.

"Yasser, I am very pessimistic. On the southern defense line, the Israeli army has assembled in large numbers. They may launch an attack at any time. Our tanks have been deployed to the front line, but I don't know if after the battle, we can How long will the resistance last?" Abu said.

In the past few months, because it felt that Israel might make a big move, the Syrian army provided the T-55 tanks it eliminated to the PLO guerrillas, and Arafat immediately deployed them to the forefront.

If Zhang Feng were here, he would definitely oppose it strongly. Just those few tanks of yours, do you still want to fight against the armored soldiers of Israel?Being at the forefront is simply courting death.

This kind of old tank is more effective in attacking the side and rear of Israeli tanks in street fighting.

Because, the air superiority of Israel is unparalleled.

"Is our air defense ready?" Arafat asked.

The air defense system he asked about refers to the dozens of sets of Stinger air defense missiles supported from Kuwait, which are the barriers he relies on for air defense.

Although a large number of Sam-6 air defense missiles are deployed in the Bekaa Valley, they cannot cover the air defense of the entire area, and there will still be aircraft from the following series flying in.

"We have deployed missile operators at various commanding heights, which can attack Israeli low-flying aircraft." Abu said.

Suddenly, Bassam Abu Sharif, another assistant of Arafat, came in and said: "Chairman Yasser, a small team of His Excellency Qusay from Iraq came to support us, and it is said that they brought special equipment."

This special equipment, Arafat knew, was the so-called electromagnetic interference device, "Where are they, take me to see them."

"They are on their way and have already contacted us, but they asked to go directly to the Bekaa Valley."

Bekaa Valley?Arafat frowned. Although his Fatah forces were also stationed on one side of the Bekaa Valley, the Syrian missile brigade was deployed in the Bekaa Valley. Everyone knew that Iraq and Syria were not in harmony. Reinforcements, what are you doing there?

"Can you let them come to Beirut first, and make plans after we discuss it?" Arafat asked without prior notice. If they fight, it will be difficult.

"Their team leader is called Marwan. He is very tough. He said that the military situation is urgent and they must rush to the Bekaa Valley to help the Syrian army."

Arafat stood up, this is a bit tricky, if this really gets there, maybe something will happen.

"Abu, you are here to command. If the Israelites really attack, we must fight for every inch of land. Bassam, go to the Bekaa Valley with me." Arafat knew that he had to go there in person.

Chapter 361 Support

"Father, this is an excellent opportunity for us." After Zhang Feng met his father, he first reported the recent battle in the Southern Military Region, and then talked about Lebanon.

"This time, we call on the Arab world to oppose the invasion of Israel. Invisibly, we will increase our status in the Arab world." Zhang Feng naturally knew what his father was thinking. .

"Abdullah, why are you so sure that Israel will definitely invade Lebanon?" Saddam asked.

Zhang Feng smiled: "Intuition, these days, haven't you noticed that I have inherited your excellent genes and have a natural intuition for the battlefield? Besides, from all aspects of analysis, the Israeli army must be on the battlefield. A large number of troops have been deployed on the border, right? You have such a good relationship with the King of Jordan, he must have notified you, right?"

"The country of Israel has always been very warlike. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they must want to completely squeeze Uncle Yasser's influence out of Lebanon, and then support a force close to them to come to power. Expand our power, so we must not sit still." Zhang Feng said.

"You mean, we sent troops into Jordan to fight the Israelites?" Saddam asked.

"No, Your Excellency Father, at present, our battle with the Iranians has contained all our troops. It is okay for us to send a few small troops to carry out special operations, but now, we absolutely cannot send large troops to attack. .” Zhang Feng said.

Saddam nodded. This is what he meant. At present, the northern military region is planning a large offensive plan. Its own strength is not enough. How can there be extra strength to support Arafat, although he actually wants to do so very much. Do.

"Then we just let the Palestine Jie do nothing?" Saddam knew that his second son must have figured out a solution.

"The solution to the problem is not in the battlefield itself, but outside the battlefield." Zhang Feng said: "Father, sometimes, all problems can be solved without force. The propaganda of world public opinion is also very important. We We must reveal the true colors of Israel, show their aggression in front of the world, and let the whole world condemn them!"

Saddam laughed, his son is really naive! "Abdullah, in the face of absolute strength, these calls are useless at all. Israel's guns are the biggest threat. The United States will always stand with Israel. Our calls What can it do?"

"In addition to these, we have another method." Zhang Feng said: "In 1973, we successfully implemented this measure."

"Oil embargo? Trigger a global oil crisis?" Saddam asked.

During the Fourth Middle East War, in order to retaliate against the U.S. support for Israel, the Arab countries in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), led by Saudi Arabia, decided on October 10 to reduce oil production by 17% every month and threatened Total embargo.However, the United States went its own way, and on October 5th, Nixon still requested the United States Congress to provide more than 10 billion U.S. dollars in arms listed above.So, on October 18th, Saudi Arabia announced an oil embargo against the United States, and other Arab oil-producing countries joined in, and expanded the embargo to the Netherlands and other countries that supported Israel, resulting in the 15 oil crisis. The three-year oil crisis has severely impacted the economies of developed countries.The industrial production of the United States dropped by 10%, that of Japan fell by more than 20%, and the economic growth of all industrialized countries slowed down significantly.

"That's right, it's the oil embargo." Zhang Feng said: "Oil is our biggest response to the Western countries that support Israel! Our Arab world is still a united whole! It's not because of Egypt's embargo." Quit and become divided!"

In fact, what Zhang Feng said naturally has another meaning. There is an old saying in China that the law does not blame the public. If an Iraqi person jumps out and clamors to do something to the Western countries that support Israel, it does not make any sense. On the contrary , will make Iraq suffer.

However, if it is connected with other countries in the Middle East, it will be different, especially Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, both of them support the PLO, and at the same time, they are all pro-American.

The Americans will not directly target Iraq. Then, the agreements signed with the United States, especially the introduction of the F-20, will be able to continue.If the United States wants to impose sanctions on arms exports, then it still has room for relaxation and can adopt other methods, for example, relying on the influence of another superpower.

However, Saddam was not very interested in these: "Abdullah, wars between countries are ultimately determined by military strength. These are only secondary content, but since you brought it up , then leave it to you to do it!"

"Yes, father." Zhang Feng said, but he was very disapproving in his heart. Dad, you are already out of date. In the future, military warfare will be the most important thing, and economic warfare will be the main one!

So, this time, let me go to various countries and make contact, but it must be top-secret.

Using oil as a weapon is a double-edged sword. If it is not done well, it will burn yourself. You must know that the ultimate goal of Americans sending troops to Iraq in later generations is not oil?

Zhang Feng is carefully considering this plan.

The Rattlesnake team led by Marwan and Hades consisted of more than 30 most capable people, plus three technicians. Their convoy, mixed with three special radar jamming vehicles, passed through the territory of Jordan together. Enter Lebanon.

After entering, they followed Zhang Feng's instructions, and the most important thing right now was to protect the safety of the Bekaa Valley.

However, not everyone's kindness will receive a friendly reception.

The Bekaa Valley is located in eastern Lebanon near the Syrian border, about 30 kilometers from the capital Beirut.It is a long and narrow strip running from north to south, about 120 kilometers long and 16 kilometers wide on average.The land here is fertile and the climate is mild. It is the largest agricultural area in Lebanon. (In later generations, this place has turned into another Golden Triangle, which makes people sigh.) In 1975, after the outbreak of the Lebanese civil war, the Syrian army entered Lebanon.Due to the continuous mountains on both sides of the Bekaa Valley and the difficult terrain, the main force of the Syrian Army's ground forces, more than 1 people, is deployed here.In order to protect this force from the air strikes of the Israeli Air Force, Syria has deployed an air defense force mainly equipped with Sam-1981 missiles in the Bekaa Valley since 6.

The above-mentioned air force is a domineering offensive air force, and it bears the brunt of every battle, and it is majestic.

Until the Fourth Middle East War, Egypt's Sam-6 air defense missiles made them suffer a lot.

The Sam-6 air defense missile is a mobile all-weather short-range air defense missile weapon system developed by the Soviet Union.It is used for field air defense, attacking medium and low altitude subsonic and transonic aircraft.The three launch missiles are mounted on tracked vehicles and have strong maneuverability. However, a missile company has only one radar. Therefore, this is its weakness. Once the radar vehicle is destroyed, the entire missile company will lose its combat capability.
