Chapter 1017: The Suez Canal War
Chapter 1017: The Suez Canal War (Fourth update, please subscribe)
At 10:29 p.m. on October 202, 65, the 4.5nd Israeli Paratrooper Brigade, with the support of the French Air Force, landed at the Mitla Pass, kilometers east of the Suez Canal. At the same time, troops were dispatched in four groups to cross the border into the southern Sinai Peninsula, marching all the way with an unstoppable momentum...
The Second Middle East War broke out.
War breaks out!
In the past half month, Egyptians who had cheered for this diplomatic victory were all dumbfounded. But after the surprise, there was more anger!
Instantly, the Egyptians were outraged, and that evening Nasser made a radio speech.
Suddenly, the astonishment turned into cheers. That night, a large number of Egyptian troops entered Sinai from the canal, and T34 tanks, SU76M and SU100 self-propelled artillery appeared in the Sinai Peninsula.
The Egyptian army entered the Sinai Peninsula amid the cheers of the people. Just like that, hundreds of thousands of Egyptian troops entered the east bank of the canal amid the cheers. Just as the Egyptian army was preparing for a large-scale counterattack, at 10 pm on October 30, Britain and France issued an "ultimatum" to Egypt on the grounds of protecting canal shipping, demanding that both Egypt and Israel cease fire and allow British and French troops to enter the canal area, otherwise they would send troops to intervene.
“限12小时以内作出答复:1.两国政府立即停止在陆海空的敌对行动;2.两国军队相互后撤,埃及军撤至苏伊士运河西岸,以色列军撤至运河以东10英里处;3.埃以两国政府同意英法联军为隔离两国军队和保障一切国家船舶在运河航行而暂时占领福阿德港、伊斯梅利亚、苏伊士城。”
The news on the radio was in English. Tourists from all over the world were standing in front of the radio, talking to each other. Ma Baoguo was confused. He came to Cairo again because he was invited by Hussein to go to Riyadh. But he never thought that he would encounter such a big event as soon as he arrived in Cairo.
"What are the British going to do?"
"Are you going to invade Egypt?"
In the hotel bar, tourists from all over the world were chatting with each other. Some of them had a hint of joy on their faces, as if they were celebrating the rise of the British Empire.
I am great again!
Britain dispatched 7 aircraft carriers, the scene was shocking, and the power of the British Empire still remains!
Britain and France dispatched more than 200 aircraft and more than 100 warships. The mighty fleet directly broke into the waters off Egypt and issued an ultimatum to Egypt.
"Will Nasser accept this ultimatum?"
Almost everyone is concerned about this issue.
"It should be. After all, this is an ultimatum!"
"Yes, between countries, strength is the final word!"
Listening to their conversation, although Ma Baoguo did not know Nasser, when he thought of the "pride and arrogance" revealed in their words when chatting with Hussein and others, Ma Baoguo could not help but shake his head.
"What they overlooked is that Nasser is proud!"
"That's right,"
Xia Dongjie, who was sitting opposite him, nodded in agreement.
"He came to power by relying on nationalism. Nationalists may compromise, but they will never surrender, let alone surrender without a fight. Even if they compromise, they will fight first!" After saying that, Xia Dongjie said to Baoguo.
"It seems that we can't go to Riyadh. After all, the war has already broken out!"
After taking a sip of wine, Xia Dongjie said.
"Cairo is no longer a safe place. We never know when the war will spread here. Let's see if there are any planes at the airport. Let's take the last plane to Rome!"
"Ah."
Ma Baoguo naturally would not object to Xia Dongjie's suggestion. After all, they all came out of an era of war and chaos, and it is human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.
Besides, in this matter, he was only a supporting role. Xia Dongjie was the protagonist and his nominal leader.
A few hours later, at Cairo Airport, just as Xia Dongjie and Ma Baoguo boarded a C717, the last flight to Rome, in the presence of the President in Cairo, facing the Soviet ambassador, Nasser said.
"Mr. Ambassador, I have decided to reject the ultimatum issued by the British and French."
"Mr. President, I believe that any proud nation would not accept such a humiliating ultimatum, and please believe that the Soviet Union will definitely stand on your side!"
Although the ambassador had not yet received instructions from Moscow, as a diplomat, Borisenko knew very well that this was an unprecedented opportunity for the Soviet Union - support for Egypt would help the Soviet Union gain the friendship of the entire Arab world. For the Soviet Union, which has always intended to get involved in the Middle East, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As early as last year, the Soviet Union sent 200 fighters, 24 bombers, 6 warships, 100 medium tanks and a large number of light weapons to Egypt through Czechoslovakia. These weapons were sold to Egypt for only 8000 million US dollars, less than one-tenth of the actual selling price. The reason why the Soviet Union provided so many arms at such a favorable price was to win over Egypt and make Egypt a member of the Soviet camp, or to get close to the Soviet Union instead of Western countries.
For this reason, the Soviet Union fully supports Egypt's move to take back the Suez Canal. After all, as we all know, the Suez Canal is an asset of Britain and France. Nasser's move immediately put him on the opposite side of Britain and France, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the Soviet Union. In order to show its support for Egypt, in the past few months, the Soviet Union has not only increased its training for Egyptian Air Force pilots and tank drivers, but also shipped more arms and expressed its support for Egypt on various occasions.
While fully supporting, the Soviet Union had been expecting Britain and France to take further action from the beginning. And now, the invasion of Egypt by Britain and France will completely overthrow the Soviet Union!
This is the most important thing.
"We not only need more weapons, but also your real support, Mr. Ambassador!"
In response to Nasser's request, Borisenko made a straightforward promise.
"Of course, please believe that the Soviet Union will definitely support you with all its strength."
