————
In Yemen, the air forces of Saudi Arabia and Jordan and other countries have continuously attacked Yemen for more than a year. The Saudi ground forces are also assisting the Yemeni government forces and cooperating with the joint air force to attack the Houthis in Yemen.
However, although Saudi Arabia and the multinational air force have maintained air strikes against the Houthi armed forces in Yemen, the areas controlled by the Houthi armed forces have not decreased in terms of the actions of ground forces. Even after Saudi Arabia officially sent troops to Yemen, the Houthi armed forces The area controlled by the armed forces has also expanded a lot.
At this moment in Yemen, the whole country is full of wars, and the Yemeni capital is also under the control of the Houthi armed forces. The Yemeni president fled the capital Sanaa with some senior officials of the Yemeni government. The civil war between the government and the Houthis is almost over.
However, Saudi Arabia's direct dispatch of troops has not changed much the situation in Yemen, and the Houthi armed forces are still very active.
On the contrary, Saudi Arabia itself is deeply involved in this situation. The price of oil is already sluggish. It is an act of burning money to dispatch a large number of air forces every day.
What's more, the Saudi Air Force has to send troops to Syria to fight on two fronts. Even if Saudi Arabia is a local tyrant, it cannot afford such a money-burning behavior.
However, it is almost difficult for Saudi Arabia to withdraw its troops at such a time now.
After all, a lot of money has been spent, and as a result, even the development of the Houthi armed forces cannot be curbed, if they just withdraw their troops in such a desperate manner. Not only would the military operation fail completely from the very beginning, but the reputation in the world would also plummet.
Saudi Arabia is known as a powerful country in the Middle East. He has always regarded himself as the supreme leader of the world in the Middle East, and is the hope of the future of the Middle East.
If even one Houthi is wrong, it will be a huge blow to Saudi Arabia's position in the Middle East.
Regardless of whether the outside world recognizes Saudi Arabia's status as the so-called supreme leader of the Middle East, but Saudi Arabia thinks so, and withdrawing troops is even more a joke for Saudi Arabia.
But fighting on two fronts. Saudi Arabia feels that it is almost unable to support it. After all, oil revenue has shrunk by one-third, and Saudi Arabia is all supported by 800 billion U.S. dollars in foreign exchange.
But these foreign exchange now have to support two wars. And one of them has lasted for five or six years, and the other was a super money-burning operation from the beginning. Both the army and the air force were engaged in it, and a lot of military expenses were spent every day. Still to no avail.
At most it is a year or two.
If the price of oil does not rise, then the local tycoon of Saudi Arabia will become a beggar, and it is even inevitable that he will owe foreign debts.
Fortunately, in the recent exchange of chips between Russia and the United States, there has also been a result in Syria that Saudi Arabia can barely accept.
Seeing the signs of the end of the Syrian civil war, Saudi Arabia itself is also relieved. As long as Syria really becomes a federal state and the opposition forces controlled by Saudi Arabia can have part of the country's rights, then Saudi Arabia can stop continuing its military operations in Syria. action.
In this way. The war that Saudi Arabia is currently undertaking is Yemen.
Yemen is on the edge of Saudi Arabia. The Houthis and the Saudi kingdom are almost in opposition. The previous Yemeni government is in the same family as Saudi Arabia in terms of belief.
The beliefs of the Houthis are the same as those of the Iraqis, Iran, Pakistan, and Assad in Syria. Saudi Arabia can no longer tolerate Iran and Syria, and even more intolerable for the little brothers around it.
However, the Houthis have existed for a long time, and the Houthis are also the largest clan in Yemen, and people who have the same beliefs as the Houthis in Yemen account for more than half of the total population of Yemen.
Successive Yemeni governments have not been able to deal with the Houthi issue well. Under the sharp 21st century international political situation, this kind of contradiction finally broke out.
The Houthis have successfully occupied the capital Sanaa many times. Even the current President of Yemen wants to give way to the Houthis, but there are still many conditions that cannot be negotiated.
Seeing the Yemeni government's weakness towards the Houthis, Saudi Arabia quit. Under the covert interference, the conflict naturally broke out.
Up to now, Yemen has been in civil war for a long time, and a large number of Yemenis are all homeless. At the same time, all foreigners in Yemen have also withdrawn from Yemen.
All that is left to the Yemenis is a war-torn homeland that is riddled with holes. The number of Yemenis who die in the flames of war every day ranges from hundreds to hundreds or even thousands.
Children who lost their parents, parents who lost their children, war refugees who starved to death, souls who died under air raids...
Today's Yemen is a hell, and the ruthless flames of war devour innocent lives here every day.
However, those in power don't care about all of this. In other words, it's all for hegemony and profit, and who can care about the casualties of these civilians.
If it were Cai Ruichen, he would definitely not be like this, at least the situation has not reached the point where there is no other way.
The headquarters of the Houthi armed forces is a super-secret underground command post. Even the high-level Houthi armed forces, few people know about this place.
Houthi, the leader of the Houthi armed forces, has been staying in this secret headquarters because Saudi Arabia has offered a reward of millions of dollars to find him.
And once his location is known by Saudi Arabia, no matter where he hides, he will immediately become the target of Saudi warplanes' air strikes.
So this place is little known. Although all combat orders are issued from here, the people who conveyed the orders all received the orders here, and then ran to another disguised headquarters far away to convey the orders. .
At this moment, standing in front of Houthi was a vigorous young man, wearing a neat military uniform, exuding the temperament of an officer no less than any regular army officer.
"Abdul, you are the most promising young man of the entire Houthi nation and my most reliable adviser. Tell me, what should we do now?"
There are signs of a solution to the Syrian issue. These days, Saudi Arabia’s air strikes have become more violent, causing the Houthi armed frontline troops to suffer greater casualties.
Houthi is also a little uncomfortable. The young man in front of him is a talent who has emerged from tens of thousands of armed forces in recent months. Under his plan, the Yemeni government forces have suffered huge casualties.
Many battles that were not conducive to the Houthi armed forces were saved, which made the Houthi begin to like this young man who dared to fight and fight hard.
"The only way to make Saudi Arabia withdraw its troops is to make Saudi Arabia feel the pain, and make the members of the Saudi royal family feel that if the war continues for a long time, it will inevitably make Saudi Arabia pay a high price. In the end, the gain outweighs the loss." Abdul calmly opened the mouth. (To be continued.)
