Chapter 1012 The Destruction of Peace (rd update, please subscribe)
Although the outside world knows nothing about it, everything is progressing in an orderly manner.

On October 10, after receiving supplies at the port, the First Fleet of the Nanyang Navy immediately headed for the Indian Ocean in the name of "ocean-going training."

When the First Fleet set out, almost no one noticed this, as if it was just a normal ocean-going training. At most, it only took up a small amount of space in the newspapers. In fact, there was not much space in the newspapers to report so much news. Even the war criminal trials that had been carried out for several months had less and less space in the newspapers.

In short, people’s interests are often temporary. Compared with political news, the news that most people pay attention to is mostly gossip and entertainment. This is especially true in Kuching, which is known as the "Oriental Hollywood". In that film and television city, there is always news of one kind or another.

Where there is news, there are rumors. For example, there are many rumors about the big star Jeanne. Newspapers in Singapore and other places published photos of her jogging with Your Excellency, which also confirmed the "rumor" that she is Your Excellency's lover. Because of this, she once again became the hottest star in the Kuching film industry.

In the past few months, not only has she received several film contracts in succession, but now there is news that she is planning to change her career to become a director. As soon as the news came out, the boss of a film company offered to provide funding.

The reason, of course, is very simple.

However, in recent times, Jeanne always comes to Chang'an, and the outside world naturally understands this.

After all, she is your lover.

Lovers always need to do things that lovers do.

At the end of this year, she did do some things that a lover would do.

Lying in Li Yian's arms in the spacious bathtub, Jeanna let the hot water soak her body, her eyes half open, her head resting on the man's chest.

“What do you think of the script?”

"There are some details that can be improved."

Li Yian played with the soft jade in his arms and continued to talk to her about the script. In the past few months, Jeanna was learning how to make a movie while writing "Chang'an Holiday". During this period, she inevitably came to Chang'an to discuss the script with Li Yian. At the beginning, it was really just a simple discussion of the script, but there are always unexpected things.

After an accident, she tasted the sweetness and couldn't stop.

"Every time I see the ending, I always feel a little regretful because of their separation?" Jeanne snorted softly, not knowing whether it was because of dissatisfaction with the ending or because of the chain reaction caused by the mischievous hands in the water.

“Regret is what makes the most lasting impression.”

Li Yian said, and then asked:

"Are you sure you want Hepburn to be the leading actress?"

Things in this world are always so wonderful. Li Yian never thought that one day, "Chang'an Holiday" would be shot by a female director, and he never thought that the female director would choose Hepburn as the leading actress.

"Why? Can't bear to leave your lover?"

"You too!"

Li Yian didn't feel embarrassed.

"I'm not."

Jeanne turned over, their eyes met, and she said.

"You have too many lovers. Although the laws of Nanyang do not prohibit it, I don't want to be your lover!"

"We are now getting what we need, and I don't ask for anything else."

"Ok."

Li Yian couldn't help but sigh. This woman was different from the others. Jeanne seemed very independent, which was a bit similar to Lautre. However, the so-called "need" in her mouth was a real "need".

After meeting Jeanne's needs at her home, Li Yian did not stay overnight, but went to the next door, where Audrey Hepburn was. Although she spent a considerable amount of time in the official residence, this was also her home. In fact, these women each had their own home. In their homes, Li Yian belonged to her alone. When she returned to the official residence again, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Although she had been busy all afternoon, Li Yian was still full of energy. As soon as she arrived at the office, she asked about the United Nations.

"How is it going? Are the results of the discussion at the United Nations out?"

"not yet,"

Yu Xiangdong shook his head and said:
"Although the results have not yet come out, according to the news from the representatives to the United Nations, the proposal by Britain and France to have the Suez Canal under 'international co-management' will definitely be rejected."

Nodding, Li Yian said.

"The Russians! They will definitely reject this proposal, but it doesn't matter. This is the last attempt by Britain and France. After the diplomatic efforts fail, the rest will be easy."

"Sir, do you mean that Britain and France will definitely take military action?"

Although he knew that Your Excellency had reached a consensus with the British side when he was in London, Yu Xiangdong believed that this should only be a matter of time.

In the past few months, in order to intimidate Egypt and force Egypt to accept their conditions, Britain and France have sent a large fleet to the Mediterranean, including nine aircraft carriers.

This huge fleet was obviously not just for showing off its power, but also to be used in case of conflict when necessary.

"After the Security Council rejected the British and French proposal for Egypt to accept the "international management" system, using force to solve the problem was their last choice. If times had not changed, they would have sent troops long ago."

As Li Yian spoke, he walked to the map and looked at Suez on the map.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Britain and France will collude with Israel. They will provide support to Israel, and Israel will fire the first shot. After all, Britain and France cannot deploy a large number of troops to Egypt. In this case, in order to solve the problem of insufficient troops, they invite Israel to join. As for Israel, it has long been dissatisfied with Egypt's refusal to allow its ships to pass through the Strait of Tiran in the Gulf of Aqaba and the Suez Canal."

This is the origin of the Second Middle East War. In fact, as early as November 55, Israel formulated a battle plan to invade the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula to break the blockade of the Strait of Tidiran in Egypt. Therefore, the two hit it off.

The first shot of the war will be fired by Israel. Israel quickly swept across most of the Sinai Peninsula, reopened the Strait of Tiran, and opened up the sea transportation line that had been blocked for a long time.

Britain and France then sent troops to bombard Egyptian cities, but they were frustrated when attacking Port Said - they bombed the city but failed to capture it from the Egyptians.

And what is the outcome of this war?

Egypt was a loser on the battlefield but a winner politically, and Nasser became a hero to the entire Arab world.

What about Britain and France?

Faced with economic and military pressure from the United States and the Soviet Union, Britain and France had their last bit of tiger skin torn off and became the United States' little followers.

The world's second-largest power, if there are any powers besides the United States and the Soviet Union.

"Israel……"

Yu Xiangdong thought for a moment and said.

"His joining will definitely cause dissatisfaction and even hostility towards the British and French in the entire Middle East. We must also consider this after we join. After all, we have certain special interests in the Middle East."

Li Yian shook his head and said:

"It's not important. What's important is that this is an opportunity for us, an opportunity to set the rules for the world game. Nothing else matters at all."

Just like the Saudi Arabia issue, after the goal was achieved, in Li Yian's eyes, that place was no longer important. Whether the locals were caught in war or civil strife in the next few decades, it had something to do with Nanyang. For Nanyang, it only needed to control the local oil fields together with Aramco.

As for the life and death of the locals...does it matter?
