Chapter 1833 Surrounding the US Military Base in Egypt
The Middle East Federation has taken back all the rights to the Suez Canal forcefully, and the United States, Britain and France are faced with the most severe choice. Should they completely give up their equity in the Suez Canal, or defend their own rights?
Especially for the new Suez Canal, this canal has only been navigable for a few years, and its daily revenue has reached five million U.S. dollars. The two new and old Suez Canals add up to a daily net profit of as much as eighty-nine hundred. Ten thousand U.S. dollars. Vertex Novel Updates Fastest
And these two Suez Canals are also the transportation hubs for the three countries to enter and exit the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean. If the Suez Canal is completely abandoned, not only the ships passing through here by the three countries will have to pay normal fees, but it will also become a little troublesome.
The most important thing is that once an emergency occurs, the three countries will not be able to continue to control the entry and exit restrictions of the Suez Canal.
As the busiest traffic waterway in the world, the Suez Canal can not only control the entry and exit of merchant ships, but also military ships.
Once the canal is completely recovered and the three countries lose any control over the canal, the Middle East Federation will be able to cut off the passage of the three countries through the Suez Canal at any time and prohibit the passage of ships from the three countries.
The ships of the three countries will only have to go around the Cape of Good Hope, which will not only increase the journey by half a month, but will also greatly increase the cost of transportation.
And in the future, once the Middle East Federation is unhappy, it can even prohibit military ships from any country from passing through the Suez Canal, which will greatly affect the military ship exchanges of the three countries.
Is it a helpless agreement, or is it firmly opposed, and will not hesitate to break out of war with the Middle East Federation again?
The three countries face the most difficult choice together.
In contrast, the Middle East Federation, after announcing the withdrawal of the Suez Canal, did not calmly wait for a response from the outside world.
Instead, it is really being put into practical actions. First, the Egyptian officials began to take action to control all the finances of the Suez Canal Company and all foreigners in the company.
The Suez Canal is operated and managed by a special company, and the United States, Britain and France have sent people to participate in the operation and management of the canal. Therefore, these people need to be controlled to ensure that these people will not disrupt the operation of the canal.
In addition, the Second Army of the Middle East Federal Guard also advanced rapidly, with two armored divisions as the vanguard, heading straight for the US military base in Suez.
At the same time, the Marine Corps belonging to the Fourth Fleet also approached the US Air Force Base at Point Barnas.
On the land of Asia to the north of Egypt,
The situation suddenly became tense.
Major General Jonas, the base commander of the US military base in Suez, was pacing back and forth in the headquarters in a hurry. The US military officers and staff officers in the headquarters did not look very good.
The Middle East Federal Guard cut off all their contact with the outside world, the satellite communication was directly intercepted and cut off, and all kinds of communication methods could not send the news.
Even the wired telephone cannot be dialed, and all external contacts of the entire US military base have been cut off, and emergency calls cannot function.
A base with a strength of tens of thousands of troops is directly hanging outside, and may be wiped out by the Middle East Federal Guard at any time.
This atmosphere made all the U.S. soldiers in the base suddenly tense up. The alarm for combat readiness sounded, and all the U.S. soldiers were fully armed and established a defense line around the base.
Everyone knows that the Middle East Federal Guard has surrounded him, and the only option for the US military in the base is to defend and resist, waiting for the government to deal with this matter, or waiting for rescue.
But before all the U.S. troops in the base were ready, the ground began to shake, and the frequency of the shaking slowly increased sharply, and the meeting in the water cup turned out layers of ripples.
Jonas in the headquarters immediately issued an order: "Order all soldiers, turn off the weapon safety, and never fire before encountering an attack."
This order was immediately conveyed to the ears of every soldier, and the safety of the weapons and equipment were all closed to prevent the firearms from going off and causing direct military conflicts.
On the ground in the distance, dust and smoke billowed, rolled up yellow sand flying all over the sky, and the huge US military base was covered by dust and smoke all around.
The U.S. soldiers in the base huddled behind the defensive bunkers of the base, watching the Middle East Federal Guards approaching rapidly outside.
As for whether the Middle East Federal Guard is an enemy, the soldiers in the Suez U.S. military base naturally don't know. The order from the top made every soldier feel relieved.
In fact, every American soldier in the US military base does not want to fight the Middle East Federal Guard here.
The reason is very simple. The Middle East Federal Guard is heavily armed and supported by powerful sea, land and air forces. With the combat capability of the Middle East Federal Guard, the Suez US military base with only about 10,000 people is not even a big threat. superior.
After all, the U.S. military is here, and it is almost impossible to have the support of the air force and navy. Let a lightly armed force face the heavily armed heavy combat troops of the Middle East Federal Guard, and it also has several times the strength of the U.S. military.
Once a military conflict breaks out, the US military base on the Suez Canal will be quickly destroyed. All US soldiers are quite clear about this.
It's not that he is too cowardly, but that the enemy is too powerful.
The U.S. military with this general mentality has already weakened a lot in terms of momentum, let alone morale.
Amidst the dust, the rumbling marching team stopped one kilometer away from the US military base. In the dust and smoke, the streamlined bodies of the main battle tanks were exposed.
The surface of the tank is smooth, without any dust, the flat prismatic gun barrel is extremely thick, and the low body looks like a finely crafted super sports car. Feelings.
It was the first time for these American soldiers to see such aesthetically pleasing combat equipment, which attracted American soldiers one by one to pick up the equipment to take pictures of this scene.
Electromagnetic Phantom Apocalypse, the most powerful main battle tank in the world, if the ordinary Apocalypse tank can be called the most powerful fourth-generation main battle tank in the world, this elite version of Apocalypse can be called the fifth generation generation main battle tank.
Because there are too many revolutionary technologies in the Electromagnetic Phantom Apocalypse, electromagnetic guns, optical stealth, super power and maneuverability, built-in thermal isolation camouflage, anti-aircraft missiles and laser weapons, with automatic driving and combat capabilities , even if there is no need for any driver, or the driver cannot operate the driving, it can also rely on the automatic system to carry out combat missions in complex environments.
This is also the first appearance of the Phantom Electromagnetic Apocalypse, but if it looks from the outside, it is completely impossible to see what kind of function this tank has.
There are no antennas or any weapon protrusions, only a fully enclosed streamlined body, as neat as a super sports car, and even the tracks are hard to see, all covered by thick armor inside the body.
The only thing worthy of outside attention is that this tank has a relatively large size and a very large gun barrel in other worlds. Because of the relationship between the rails of the electromagnetic gun, the barrel wrap is very huge, and on the top of the barrel, there is a The miniature phased array radar device that can be retracted to the roof of the tank, so the closed barrel appears to be very large.
If these phantom electromagnetic apocalypse activates the optical stealth system, then these U.S. troops will only see thick smoke billowing, and they will not be able to see the tank body at all, and no matter it is the radar in the U.S. military base, or the infrared detection and the eyes of the soldiers, they will not be able to detect it. Tanks in the sand.
Therefore, these American soldiers are also lucky. If it weren't for the order received by the Second Army to besiege and not attack, otherwise, half of the current US military base would have fallen.
Following the Phantom Electromagnetic Apocalypse came battle fortresses. These battle fortresses rushed directly to the side of the tanks, released one by one hoplites from the vehicles, and quickly formed a huge encirclement outside the US military base. .
The Pacifier self-propelled artillery unit has also assembled in two basins fifty-five kilometers away from the US military base. All the gun barrels are aimed at the position of the US military base. , began to fly in circles, and the gun barrels on the warships aimed at the US military base below from time to time.
At this moment, all American soldiers really feel the powerful side of the Middle East Federal Guard, which is a force that is enough to make everyone feel afraid.
There was not a single ordinary soldier in the entire encirclement, all of them were heavy main battle equipment, and even the soldiers were at the level of heavy infantry.
The American soldiers in the base looked at their flesh and mortal bodies one by one, at the weapons and equipment on their bodies, and at the sight that the enemies were all covered by mechas, and the weapons in their hands were even more lethal. They swallowed unconsciously. Take a sip.
"The Future Technology Group is definitely a bunch of freaks. Why is it able to develop such amazing weapons and equipment? Look at those mechs, each three or four meters high, with all kinds of weapons on them, even those large-caliber rotary machine guns. You can carry two, how can we fight such a battle?"
In the defensive trenches outside the base, an American soldier said with a look of fear.
Another American soldier on the side patted the sandbag on the defensive trench and said, "God knows that such a sandbag can't even stop the opponent's infantry weapons. How can we fight?"
The US sergeant major next to him heard that he should have prevented the spread of such remarks, but he did not speak because he is in the same mood as the soldiers now.
With the current equipment of the US military, it is completely unable to stop such a powerful force of the Middle East Federal Guard, not to mention that the combat level of the Middle East Federal Guard does not rely entirely on the advantages of equipment. The US military personnel who have fought with it are quite aware of this. In the words of the US military, it is a group of war lunatics armed with super modern technology, and they are also a group of lunatics with advanced war concepts.
Major General Jonas, who came outside the base, also saw the Middle East Federation troops surrounding the base outside. His inner complex psychology far surpassed that of every soldier.
After standing there for a long time, Jonas didn't say a word, until he turned to leave, and then he gave an order: "Let all the soldiers on the periphery withdraw to the base, and carry out training according to the usual training tasks, and no one should leave the base. "
Jonas is very clear that with the level of equipment and combat capabilities of the US military in this base, there is almost no ability to resist. Instead of resisting the increase in casualties, it is better to treat it as if nothing happened. , is now ready to negotiate.
And Jonas is also very clear that no matter what the outcome of the negotiations is, the U.S. military is destined to leave Egypt. As for leaving peacefully, or leaving as a prisoner of others, Jonas only hopes that the bureaucrats in Washington, Be able to think more about the lives of soldiers before making decisions.
However, Jonas' thoughts could not be conveyed to Washington, and at the moment in Washington, Trump and his staff have been discussing for more than an hour.
Representatives of Britain and France are also in Washington awaiting Trump's decision.
Before this, the attitudes of Britain and France have been very clear. It is the most stupid way to do it knowing that it cannot be done. Now that the Middle East Federation is approaching strongly, there is no second solution except war, and once it breaks out again The war with the Middle East Federation is very likely to trigger World War III.
The attitudes of Britain and France are very clear. World War III is impossible. Both Britain and France are countries with nuclear weapons and strategic missiles.
To put it bluntly, if Trump insists on going to war with the Middle East Federation, it is absolutely impossible for Britain and France to participate.
After all, the Middle East Federation has now become a global hegemon with the strongest military power. No one can ignore or deny this. Britain and France no longer have the financial and military power to start a confrontation with the Middle East Federation.
If it is not possible, Britain and France can only give up their equity in the Suez Canal and some control they currently have, and are willing to start negotiations with the Middle East Federation here to gain more benefits from the convenience of the Suez Canal.
In fact, the choice of Britain and France is not surprising at all, because the benefits of the Suez Canal they have are already dispensable, and the remaining benefit is that it will be easier for ships to pass through.
Although it is not tasteless, it is actually dispensable.
The United States is different. Although the interests of the Suez Canal are also plundered, it is one of the most important shipping lanes in the world after all, and its strategic significance is of great significance. What's more, Trump has just taken office, and he will be asked to give up control of the Suez Canal. Then how will Trump explain to Congress and the entire American society.
It's just that the situation is stronger than people, not to mention that the Middle East Federal Guard has surrounded two military bases of the US military in Egypt with superior forces, and forcibly controlled the management organization and finance of the Suez Canal, which is equivalent to controlling the operation of the Suez Canal up.
