Chapter 893: Termination of the Oil War
Inside the Houthi Armed Forces Secret Command, Houthi looked at the map in front of him with great satisfaction. Beside him, Abdul in a straight military uniform stood quietly beside him.
On the map, the official high-definition satellite map of Saudi Arabia is displayed. On the map, all the military bases in Saudi Arabia are marked in detail, including important industrial clusters.
This map was bought by Houthi from the mysterious arms dealer at a high price, worth half a million dollars, and all the information on it is also worth this price.
On the map, all heavy industries and arsenals in Saudi Arabia, as well as all important industries, military facilities and military bases, are all marked on it.
Normally, even if this map is 100% correct, but for the Houthis, what is the use of knowing it?
Although the Houthi armed forces seized a lot of Scud missiles from the Yemeni government forces, these missiles have been almost consumed in the retaliation against Saudi Arabia last year.
The Houthi armed forces fired a total of 36 Scuds, which also killed the Saudi Air Force Commander and destroyed two military bases. The results can be said to be brilliant.
But now, the Houthi armed forces no longer have the ability to remotely strike facilities and bases in Saudi Arabia.
However, when Houthi bought the map, he also spent a lot of money, because he wanted to attack Riyadh, the capital city of Saudi Arabia, and it would be best to kill the exiled Yemeni president who fled to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia by the way.
Only in terms of attacking targets, Abdul did not suggest that Houthi use all the missiles purchased this time to attack Riyadh. Instead, it selectively strikes more high-value targets in Saudi Arabia.
If it were an ordinary subordinate, Houthi would not care about such opinions at all, but Abdul was his most important subordinate. It is the future hope of the Houthi nation, the most outstanding young representative.
For more than a year, the Houthi armed forces have grown stronger and stronger, and have beaten the Yemeni government forces without a chance to breathe. It has to be said that Abdul has contributed a lot to this.
Houthi did not deny this. He also trusted Abdul's tactical vision, and many orders were issued only under Abdul's suggestion.
Special forces led by Abdul. It also dealt a good blow to the Saudi ground forces and air force, which made the Houthis feel the importance of Abdul even more.
So far, Yemen's government forces have been lingering.
The real enemies facing the Houthis are Saudi Arabia and Israel, which carry out air strikes every day.
in this area. Saudi Arabia is the biggest problem facing the Houthi. Although Israel has also attacked Yemen, it has always been a supporting role, and it does not come every day. It is more like watching the mood.
For Israel, the Houthis naturally hate it. As a traditional Middle Easterner, he is like all Middle Easterners. They all hated the Israelites very much.
Not to mention, when the Houthis rose, they were always facing the enemy of Israel.
However, he hated those damn royal families in Saudi Arabia even more. As a Middle Easterner, he actually united with the common enemy of the Middle East and outsiders to carry out military strikes against other Middle Eastern countries, and his hands were filled with the blood of his compatriots.
For Saudi Arabia, Houthi can't wait to lead his own tribal armed forces to fight directly to Riyadh, and beat all the royal families in Saudi Arabia.
After learning that the mysterious arms dealer was able to provide him with the most accurate satellite maps and various long-range missiles, Houthi did not hesitate to buy them all decisively.
In just three days, all the missiles were in place, and all were delivered to the Houthi armed forces.
At this moment, all the missiles are waiting to be launched. After the target is selected, all that remains is to input the position and data of the target, and the missile can be launched directly.
All the missiles only use inertial guidance, but the accuracy is not low, and the range of hit errors is all less than 100 meters.
As for the lethality of the missile warhead, such an error rate will not affect the outcome of the battle.
"Launching all the missiles at Riyadh can destroy at least half of the city, and it will definitely bring huge casualties and losses to Saudi Arabia. Is there anything more cost-effective than such an attack effect?" Houthi asked strangely. .
"If it is only to cause economic and casualty losses to Saudi Arabia, then air strikes on Riyadh are indeed a good way, but this is not conducive to long-term military strategic needs." Abdul said.
"Tell me your opinion," Houthi said.
"My view is very simple. First of all, we must ensure that our troops can unify Yemen as soon as possible. This is our core purpose. For attacks on the Saudi mainland, we need to concentrate our forces and attack the air force bases and military facilities in the Saudi mainland. , the surplus missiles give priority to attacking Saudi heavy industry bases..."
In fact, Abdul's idea is very simple, that is, to prevent all air force bases in the entire Saudi Arabia from dispatching fighter planes.
Even if Saudi Arabia can use the US military's air base in Saudi Arabia, the effect of air strikes will be greatly reduced.
Attacking arsenals and heavy industries makes the truth even simpler, destroying Saudi Arabia’s follow-up war capabilities, and forcing the other side to take all military operations before Saudi Arabia repairs these industries, and all consumption is outsourced.
Although the Saudi military will definitely have inventory, Saudi Arabia, which has been caught in a two-front war, has absolutely not much inventory of weapons and equipment.
Killing the arsenal is tantamount to destroying Saudi Arabia's follow-up combat capabilities.
After prioritizing these two targets, the remaining target is not Riyadh, but a large number of oil wells in Saudi Arabia.
In fact, the targets that Abdul really wants to attack are those oil wells in Saudi Arabia. As far as the crude oil industry is concerned, it will not have any impact.
But what about destroying hundreds of oil wells?
All the oil wells drilled in Saudi Arabia are already in full-scale and high-speed production, which has led to a rapid drop in global oil prices. Sufficient crude oil has poured into the international crude oil market, and more things will naturally be cheaper.
On the contrary, if there is a problem with the quantity of Saudi crude oil supplied to the global market, oil prices will naturally rise in the international crude oil market.
Saudi Arabia and the United States jointly launched an oil war against Russia, which is to use this method to reduce oil prices, but the price is actually controlled by Saudi Arabia. (To be continued.)
