Chapter 1826: Coercing Egypt

Cairo, the capital of Egypt, welcomed a distinguished guest today. The entire streets of Cairo have been cleaned up half a month ago, and welcome banners will be hung on both sides of the road after a distance.

Cai Ruichen, the supreme leader of the Middle East Federation, paid his first official state visit to Egypt.

Cai Ruichen and his team arrived in Egypt by special plane, and were greeted by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Prime Minister. The convoy entered the city of Cairo, at the gate of the Presidential Palace in Cairo. In the middle, the convoy arrived, and Cai Ruichen and Sisi met for the first time at the gate of the Presidential Palace in Cairo.

Both Cai Ruichen and Sisi are no strangers. When they attacked Israel together, Egypt and the Middle East Federation had established a profound friendship. Over the years, Egypt and the Middle East Federation have had close ties, close economic exchanges, and tourism between the two countries. The exchanges are good, and it is the most important neighboring country partner of the Middle East Federation.

However, Egypt has always been deeply influenced by the politics of Western countries. Sisi's words in Egypt are not absolute authority. The Egyptian military is mixed with too many forces from Western countries, which Sisi cannot control.

For Cai Ruichen's arrival this time, it can be said to be intriguing, not only because Cai Ruichen has rarely paid official state visits to the outside world in recent years, it is really strange to visit Egypt suddenly, but also because three days later, the 33rd International Olympic Games It will be held in Baghdad, and Sisi will also attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. At this time, Cai Ruichen actually went out to visit people who will arrive in Baghdad in three days.

Moreover, in recent months, Egypt has received a large amount of military equipment assistance from the US military. Unlike other African countries that have received attention, the military equipment that Egypt receives from the US military is very advanced equipment.

The Egyptian Defense Forces are the most powerful of all the countries in North Africa, and even internationally, they are on the list.

Egypt has a regular army of 500,000, of which 350,000 is the army, and has 4 military regions, 2 legion headquarters, 4 armored divisions, 8 mechanized infantry divisions, 1 Republic Guard armored brigade, and 4 independent armored brigades , 1 airlift brigade, 2 independent infantry brigades, 1 paratrooper brigade, 4 independent mechanized brigades, 15 independent artillery brigades, 2 surface-to-surface missile brigades, and 6 assault brigades.

The Egyptian Army has more than 4,000 tanks of various types,

Among them, 400 are the m1a1 main battle tanks of the US military, more than 6,000 armored assault vehicles and armored transport vehicles, more than 1,000 artillery pieces, more than 3,000 anti-tank vehicles, and air defense missiles and ground-to-ground vehicles. There are a lot of ground missiles.

The Egyptian Air Force is also an air power in the Middle East, with an air force of 30,000. There are 34 flying squadrons. There are 572 combat aircraft and 125 armed helicopters.

As for the Egyptian navy, it is somewhat lackluster, better than nothing.

In Africa and the original Middle East, Egypt can also be regarded as a regional power. Of course, compared with world powers, it is nothing.

In the past few months, the Egyptian Army has received thousands of m1a1 main battle tanks that have just been retired from the U.S. military and a large number of advanced army combat main weapons, including a large number of individual anti-tank missiles, and even Even the Army's tactical missile system currently in service in the U.S. military has assisted Egypt with hundreds of sets.

In terms of air force weapons and equipment, the U.S. military also supported Egypt with a batch of Fighting Falcon fighter jets and seven Hawkeye early warning aircraft that were about to be stored.

Such a large-scale military aid has directly led to explosive growth in Egypt's military strength, and the Egyptian Defense Force, which has been using American equipment, has also greatly increased its strength.

In Egypt's air force alone, the number of its third-generation fighter jets has exceeded 300, and it also has a complete air force combat system, including early warning aircraft, refueling aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, bombers, and electronic warfare aircraft. Complete.

Now, all these equipment have been handed over to the Egyptian Defense Forces, and adaptive training has begun in the Egyptian Defense Forces.

And Egypt has to pay a certain price for receiving such a huge weapon support. The US military base on the edge of the Suez Canal will be further expanded, and the US military will be allowed to increase its presence in Egypt.

And in the future, once the U.S. military clashes with the Middle East Federal Guard again, the Egyptian military will provide the U.S. military with all logistical assistance as much as possible.

These are the basic conditions. As for whether there is a deeper agreement hidden, the outside world naturally has no way of knowing.

After the U.S. military gave away all the weapons and equipment, Cai Ruichen began to take action, which naturally made the outside world unclear about Cai Ruichen's thoughts, after all, it was completely unreasonable.

If the Middle East Federation wanted to interfere with such a huge military aid from the U.S. military, it should have acted long ago. After all, many of these weapons and equipment can directly strike from Egypt to the main cities of the Middle East Federation.

It has fundamentally constituted a threat to the security interests of the Middle East Federation.

But now, the outside world wants to know, what is the purpose of Cai Ruichen's visit to Egypt?

In fact, Sisi was extremely puzzled, and he didn't know the purpose of Cai Ruichen's visit, but because of etiquette, the relationship between Egypt and the Middle East Federation, and the relationship between the two, Sisi could not refuse Cai Ruichen's arrival.

At the end of the welcome ceremony on the scene, Cai Ruichen walked into the Cairo Presidential Palace at the invitation of Sisi. In front of many media, the two sides held a high-level dialogue between the two governments. It was impossible to talk about strengthening the economic, trade and tourism aspects of the two sides. Money matters.

After lunch at noon, Sisi and Cai Ruichen met in the reception hall of the Presidential Palace in Cairo.

Before Cai Ruichen could speak, Sisi called out everyone in the living room, and there were only two people facing each other in the whole living room.

"Mr. Cai, this is not the first time you and I have known each other. I know you quite well. It's just the two of us here. If you have anything to say, please speak up." Sisi sighed and said to Cai Ruichen.

"Since President Sisi is a sensible person, he should also know the purpose of my coming." Cai Ruichen said unhurriedly.

Sisi took the initiative to speak out, which also proved that Sisi couldn't sit still.

Cai Ruichen's arrival, although he didn't say anything, has already put enough pressure on Sisi.

In the past few months, the Middle East Federation did not make any sound as if it had not seen anything about the large amount of military equipment supported by the United States in Egypt.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is impossible for the Middle East Federation to let this kind of thing happen. The calmer it is, the more uneasy Sisi will be.

Sure enough, when Egypt successfully received all the weapons and equipment from the U.S. military, Cai Ruichen made a sudden visit, and Sisi's heart was almost in his throat throughout the whole process.

As for Cai Ruichen's purpose, why doesn't Sisi know that most people can imagine Sisi's position, let alone Sisi, who has been the president of Egypt for so many years.

Upon hearing this, Sisi sighed again and said, "Mr. Cai, I believe you should be very clear that although my president is the supreme commander of the Egyptian Defense Forces, I can control the troops, but I don't even have a third of them. This is still based on the power of sending troops to Israel. The troops with combat capabilities are beyond my control. Western agents are trying to split Egypt. To put it bluntly, if I reject the United States, I am afraid that night, There will be an armed force to force the palace again in Cairo, and there is nothing I can do about it.”

Sisi's tone was full of bitterness. The Western world's intervention in Egypt is too serious. Most of the officials in the Egyptian Ministry of Defense are supported by Western countries.

Although Sisi is the president, he is unable to mobilize the troops of the whole country. Almost all the troops with combat capabilities are controlled by the senior generals in Egypt. Pull down.

The reason why the Egyptian Defense Forces were able to obey Sisi's order and attack Israel before was because of the ongoing grievances between the Egyptian Defense Forces and Israel. Therefore, the West could not interfere with the Egyptian military's long-term determination to retaliate against Israel.

But facing the Middle East Federation, the situation is completely different. The senior generals of the Egyptian Defense Forces will naturally follow the wishes of the United States and benefit from it.

"Sisi, how long have we known each other?" Cai Ruichen asked suddenly.

Ceci froze for a moment, but immediately said, "Eight years."

"Yes! It's been eight years, and that's why I came to you." Cai Ruichen said pointedly.

Sisi smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said, "I know that no one in Egypt knows you better than me, and the international critics' comments on you are all 8.9 to 10. You are not a politician. But a realist, I believe that before you came to Cairo, the Middle East Federal Guard was ready for a full-scale attack on Egypt."

Speaking of this, Cexi paused for a moment, and said with a look of resentment: "I hate those arrogant fools who naively thought that you dare not do anything to Egypt, but they don't know, it seems like overnight Egypt, whose strength has soared in the world, is already hanging on the edge of the abyss, and it will be lost at any time."

"You are wrong about one thing. I have no plans to invade Egypt in an all-round way." Cai Ruichen shook his head and said, "Not from the beginning."

Upon hearing this, Ceci asked in surprise, "Why?"

From Sisi's point of view, Cai Ruichen is completely unreasonable. He did it to Israel, he did it to Turkey, and he did it to Iran and NATO.

In his opinion, once Cai Ruichen takes action against Egypt, he must quickly control Egypt's military and political affairs with the force of thunder, and the Middle East Federation is fully capable of this.

With the strength of the Egyptian National Defense Forces, it is impossible to resist the iron hooves of the Middle East Federation Guards, and the entire NATO will only protest the behavior of the Middle East Federation on behalf of Egypt. It is almost impossible for NATO to break out of war with the Middle East Federation again because of Egypt. possible things.

Even if the United States defines Egypt as a red line, the current United States is completely powerless to resist the military operations of the Middle East Federal Guard at its doorstep.

It's too late to say, in Africa and Europe, the strength of the United States is simply unable to compete with the Middle East Federation.

"There is no reason, if I want to completely destroy the Egyptian regime, then I will not come to see you today." Cai Ruichen said without explaining.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Sisi asked directly.

It is impossible for Cai Ruichen to just come to see old friends, not to mention that the two of them are not old friends in a strict sense. Sisi is very clear about this, and Cai Ruichen's trip must have deep meaning.

"What do you think of the performance of our Middle East Federal Guard's active weapons and equipment?" Cai Ruichen asked.

"It is the best in the world, which is obvious to all the world." Sisi replied very simply.

"How is the performance of our main battle tanks and our Air Force fighter jets compared to the same generation of US military equipment?" Cai Ruichen asked again.

"A complete victory over the U.S. military." Although Sisi didn't know the meaning of Cai Ruichen's questions, he still answered them honestly.

"I have no intention of destroying Egypt, but I want to tell you that I can give you what the U.S. military can give you, and I can still give you what the U.S. military can't give you." Cai Ruichen said forcefully.

When Ceci heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately became excited, even a trace of flush appeared on his face because of the excitement, and said, "Mr. Cai, please speak clearly."

"If Egypt becomes a part of the Middle East Federation, and the Egyptian Defense Force is transformed into the Middle East Federation Garrison, it will directly have all the weapons and equipment of the Middle East Federation Garrison, including the fourth-generation Apocalypse main battle tank and the fifth-generation Black Hawk fighter jet. and Raider fighter jets, and the Egyptian Navy will also have a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group," Cai Ruichen said.

Hearing Cai Ruichen's words, the excitement on Sisi's face faded away. If the United States supports Egypt to stir up troubles on the side of the Middle East Federation, and plans to install multiple sets of THAAD systems in Egypt, it will further stimulate to the Middle East Federation.

The final result will be that the Middle East Federation will take military action against Egypt in its fury.

However, the Middle East Federation directly wants to include Egypt in its territory. In contrast, the United States can at least retain Egypt's national sovereignty.

However, Sisi is very clear that once the Middle East Federation makes a move, the current government of Egypt will be directly destroyed.

On both sides are guys who eat people but don't spit out bones, behind them are jackals, and the youngest leader in the world in front of him is even a fierce tiger.

"Do I have a choice?" Sisi asked Cai Ruichen helplessly after weighing in his heart for a long time.

"You can only accept or reject." Cai Ruichen shook his head, and continued: "You know best the treatment of the principalities under the Middle East Federation. Except for military power and financial power, the rest of the rights still belong to Egypt."
