Chapter 1767: Small Country with Few People (Please Give Me Double Monthly Votes!! Please Subscribe!
So, the military aid that had been stagnant for a long time finally came again.
Don't underestimate these military aids. People have always had a misunderstanding about the little bully, that is, the little bully can beat the big cousin in the Middle East by himself. In fact, this is impossible!
War is fought on national strength. So what is national strength?
National strength is full of all aspects, even whether a country can produce bullets and gunpowder by itself! This is a general term for economy, industry, people's livelihood, transportation, resources and all aspects of the country! And many people will simply equate national strength with economy!
In fact, this is totally wrong!
National strength is very complicated, not just having money! The simplest example is the Korean country. The Korean country has always been abstract. Over the years, it has contributed a lot of disgusting things and jokes, but its economic strength is still unquestionable. Very strong!
So the Korean country also thinks it is very strong, but in fact?
On the contrary, it has always been very weak, because it even relies on imports for urea and cabbage! As long as the countries producing those raw materials are stuck, they will be finished! A powerful country cannot even be self-sufficient in urea.
In addition, there is food!
The food produced by the Korean country itself is not enough for their own people to eat, and they still need to import a lot!
What if the food-producing countries cannot export food for various reasons?
Just leave it alone! Without urea, not to mention diesel locomotives (diesel locomotives need urea), even military industry and food production in the country will be greatly affected! (Arms production also requires urea, urea can be synthesized into urea ammonium nitrate compounds, and this thing is an essential material for making artillery shells, rockets, mines and other military weapons.), and the Koreans do not have the ability to synthesize urea by themselves. Once a real war breaks out, once its source is cut off, it will be over.
Without food imports, the Koreans' arable land and production can make the country starve to death!
In this case, what kind of war can they fight? Their life gates are all held by others!
So what's the use of a strong economy! A strong national strength is the real strength!
And what about the Little Overlord? I can only say that it is not even as good as the Koreans!
Just their land, the mountains of Bang are considered the land of abundance! Their food self-sufficiency rate is less than 37%, the lowest in the world. This is because the little bully has vigorously developed agriculture, otherwise it would be even lower.
Once the war reaches a critical juncture, the little bully's domestic production will inevitably be affected, and their food self-sufficiency rate will only continue to decline.
As for other things... it's worse than the fucking Bang!
It really has nothing. It is a country that is extremely dependent on food imports, energy imports, resource imports and weapons imports.
It's not that there is no money, but there are no resources.
They don't have any raw materials needed for industry and war!
The waves of protests in Europe and the United States before have prevented countries from giving aid as generously as before. These aids are said to be given in a certain amount of money, but in fact, this is not the case. The money will not go to the little bully's homeland at all.
Instead, it is spent directly in the aiding country, which is equivalent to the money given by each country to subsidize its own related industries. The money is spent in the homeland and will not flow out.
If the money that the country's aid to the little bully is used to purchase in other countries... that will make the aiding country jump up and down!
All this money will be turned into resources or finished products and directly shipped to Xiaobawang, and then Xiaobawang will use it directly.
This is also the reason why Xiaobawang was awesome in the past. He has so many countries as his backing, and he does not need to adjust the wartime economy. He can just order takeout and use it as soon as he gets it. Naturally, he is awesome.
But because of the protests some time ago, this set of fixed procedures was interrupted.
So, for a while, the Egyptian army and the resistance organization pushed back all the way, and it felt that Xiaobawang had become much weaker.
But seeing that Xiaobawang was being targeted and had a posture of dying for you to see, Western countries also reacted. They still need Xiaobawang, although it is not as important as before, but inertia is not so easy to change in a short time, not to mention that the Middle East really has no interests?
Of course not, the importance of oil has declined, but it is not gone.
There are many places where modern industry needs oil, and there are still many places where food, chemicals, and energy need oil! So oil is still valuable, but not that important. So neither the United States nor the West can completely abandon it. It's just that everyone has something to do and is shrinking their strategies.
But now that they have seen the death of the Little Overlord, they naturally cannot ignore it.
So a batch of military aid was passed directly and quickly.
Politicians are actually still clear-headed. Votes are votes, and interests are interests. Completely abandoning interests for votes... This is not a parallel universe, and they are not crazy to that extent. Of course, it is reasonable that the passage of military aid has led to another wave of protests.
However, there are always trade-offs.
And countries are also consciously cooling down to minimize the damage.
Unfortunately, this thing is a little late.
Whether it is the previous actions of Western countries or the defeat of the Little Overlord, many countries are ready to move.
As I said before, in the Middle East, a land full of contradictions, religious contradictions, political contradictions, ideological contradictions, geopolitical contradictions, ethnic contradictions, there are only things you can't think of that don't exist here, and it is basically impossible to reach any consensus, but destroying the Little Overlord is definitely a consensus that all countries and forces can highly unify.
So whoever can destroy the Little Overlord will definitely become the absolute top in the Arab world, the kind that can compete for the title of the leader of the martial arts world!
So anyone with a little power will think about it.
If you do it yourself, it will make too much noise and it will be difficult to turn around, but you can use agents!
So various armed forces began to emerge like mushrooms after rain. These members are very complicated, but one thing is certain, that is, there are regular troops involved!
There are no traces anymore, and many armed forces don't even carry people.
This puts Xiaobawang under great pressure. They immediately contacted European and American countries, hoping that they can control those disobedient Middle Eastern powers.
Unfortunately... they can't control them!
With the global contraction of Europe and the United States, the Middle Eastern countries have greater autonomy, and now it is not an era of one superpower and many powers, but a multi-national hegemony. If you Europe and the United States are forced, they really dare to find a new boss for themselves.
And the new boss speaks well and doesn't like to interfere in their internal affairs.
Isn't he better than you psychopaths who chatter all day?
So it is impossible for European and American countries to over-force those countries. The reason is simple. In the past, others had no choice, but now there are more choices. Why do you think you are still the boss?
Grandma!
Diplomacy is a very realistic thing, especially international diplomacy involving many countries.
If you are strong, you are right, and if you are weak, you deserve it!
It is so naked.
So European and American countries cannot put pressure on them at this time, but need to appease those people.
So the "substitute messenger" diplomacy that Xiaobawang has tried and tested is no longer effective. (In the past, Xiaobawang liked to use the powerful countries behind it to carry out diplomatic oppression, so it is called substitute messenger diplomacy).
Then it became a mess.
These proxy armed forces are not strong. If they really fight, they can't hurt the foundation of Xiaobawang at all, but they can't stand the number!
More importantly, Xiaobawang is held back by two major armed groups in the south and the north.
The combat effectiveness of the resistance armed forces in the north is still very powerful. They have a complete grassroots construction, and have built their own information network. At the same time, they have a strong popular base. They can fight and retreat at any time, and even every village is their field hospital. When they evacuate, they put the wounded in the homes of fellow villagers, and they are relieved.
Does it look familiar?
There are more familiar ones.
In the villages in the occupied areas, they would spontaneously provide intelligence to the resistance forces. Sometimes, they would simply change their clothes and join the resistance forces.
When the enemy came, they would take off their clothes and become good citizens again.
The little bully still didn't dare to kill people casually.
The north is much more rigid than the big prison. If you dare to kill, I will definitely dare to retaliate.
They have built a huge network of underground tunnels and military facilities, which provides a huge advantage for their resistance operations.
At the same time, their rocket launchers and missile capabilities are one of their most impressive features. These weapons are not only powerful, but also have a long range and high accuracy.
Coupled with underground tunnels and a strong intelligence network, the main feature is to come and go like the wind and invade like fire.
The little bully who used to fight was howling.
Now it is even more prosperous, and the little bully can only shrink.
But this shrinkage has problems.
This is a boost to the northern resistance forces!
The reason why they are famous is actually because of the withdrawal of the little bully! Now it happens again, it is simply a BUFF for them!
So the situation in the north is even more unstable.
The resistance forces in the north have begun to approach the northern town of Xiaobawang.
This forced Xiaobawang to immediately dispatch troops to stop them... because that is related to the water source problem.
After all, if the northern resistance organization cuts off their water source, Xiaobawang will be in trouble.
However, it is no problem to increase troops in the north, but what about the south?
The Egyptian army is advancing very slowly. It is not that they cannot fight, but they do so on purpose. What they want to do, the whole world knows, is to wait for you, Xiaobawang, to divide your troops. There are more and more players waiting to be eliminated. How many troops can you, Xiaobawang, divide?
Soldiers go to the battlefield, not just give them a gun!
That was the way the Russians played in World War I. Gray animals are not human beings. But do you dare to do this in modern warfare? It is really so late, and the front line will definitely collapse.
Xiaobawang needs to train troops. Training takes time, equipment, and more importantly, soldiers.
Xiaobawang has a population of less than 10 million, but about one-fifth of them are Arabs... If they join the army, Xiaobawang dares to use them?
After removing this one-fifth, we have to remove the 1.28 million ultra-orthodox people... They do not serve in the military and do not pay taxes. Let's not talk about this, because it will be censored. Anyway, remember that these 1.28 million people do not pay taxes and do not serve in the military.
How many people are left?
After all, it is impossible for all people to be soldiers. The elderly and children cannot go to the battlefield, and various production occupations cannot be recruited. There are only a few people left.
There is also the issue of the quality of soldiers.
Xiaobawang has always said that all people should serve in the military and hide soldiers among the people, but in fact this system has gradually weakened. Their training time and service time are constantly shortening. After all, liberalism and individualism are constantly rising, while nationalism is relatively declining. For ordinary people in the local area, military service is no longer seen as a channel for upward mobility, but as an obstacle to normal development.
In today's world where modern equipment is becoming more complex and difficult to master, the service time of conscripts is shortened, and the training and mobilization intensity of the reserve force is also greatly reduced. Its actual mobilization power is no longer what the outside world imagines.
Resources cannot keep up, and the source of soldiers cannot keep up.
This is the disadvantage of a small country with a small population.
In comparison, their enemies are much better!
As the Egyptian army continued to advance, the pressure on the little bully was increasing.
They knew that they couldn't fight anymore, absolutely not. They couldn't bear it. After all, once there was a decline, that would be the worst situation. Now they could barely support and maintain their frame, then they still had room for survival, but once there was a problem on that front.
That would be a total collapse.
Think about what they did, put yourself in their shoes, what would be the consequences?
So the little bully could only ask the European and American countries again.
They decided to give in!
This was a very remarkable move. You know, the little bully has been strong for so many years, when has he ever been timid?
But now it's not possible.
European and American countries couldn't really watch the little bully die, so they also began to mediate urgently.
...
"My lord... Ambassadors from various countries have sent notes. Now we need our reply, and senior officials from the European Union will come in a few days."
The archangel reported the results of the battle to Apocalypse in the Apocalypse Pyramid.
Apocalypse stood on the balcony in the middle of the pyramid, looking at the whole of Cairo. He said without turning his head.
"We can talk now."
"But many people want the war to continue. They have come to me several times to petition. At the same time, many civil groups are also very excited..."
"Warren..." Tianqi did not turn around but said the name of the archangel: "Remember, we are the rulers. They should follow our baton, not us being coerced by them. You must understand this... Don't let your power devour your thoughts."
Tianqi felt that the archangel was playing the national game too much... You are a white American, and you follow a group of extreme religiousists to make trouble... Isn't this a joke?
The archangel also reacted.
Then he explained in a low voice: "I just think this is a good opportunity. If we can completely defeat the little bully, then our momentum can spread throughout the Islamic world... This is good for our future."
"Too much is as bad as too little. Dear child, the idea is good, but don't forget that we have to face more than just the little bully. What we really have to face is the big country behind it. Do you think that with our current capabilities, we can resist those big countries?"
Tianqi said calmly.
The Archangel has not gotten used to his role. He thought he was in a gang, and he could defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and then seize the territory... It's not that simple.
The Archangel has always been the spokesperson for Apocalypse.
God should stay away from the people. Being too close will cause problems. So since Apocalypse moved into the palace, he rarely appeared in public. The Brotherhood and government agents controlled the situation.
The Archangel is his biggest spokesperson. The Archangel has begun to intervene in state affairs, but this thing can't be done overnight. It requires a lot of experience and practice.
Fortunately, the government agencies composed of ordinary people are quite capable, and the Archangel does not need to stand directly in front of the stage.
