Chapter 657: Offensive and Defensive Transformation

Just when the Secretary-General of the United Nations was exhausted and helpless against the war in the Middle East, the United States finally acted.

After receiving John's order, the Fifth Fleet quickly assembled all warships scattered along the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the coast of East Africa, with three aircraft carrier battle groups, six amphibious battle groups, three submarine formations, hundreds of warships of various types, hundreds of carrier-based aircraft of various types, and tens of thousands of soldiers.

At the same time, the rapid reaction force and the 18th Airborne Corps were also quickly assembled, with five divisions and 76,000 men fully armed and marching to the Middle East, and the main force, the Second Naval and Army Division, also marched from the California base to the Middle East.

After receiving the request of the United States, NATO member states began to assemble soldiers as soon as possible, and in a week, a coalition force composed of 300,000 ground troops and dozens of warships of various types set off to the Middle East battlefield, and even the three Eastern European countries that had just joined NATO also sent 10,000 land forces to join the alliance, and Russia, which was still an observer country, also sent soldiers, and it was the largest country in the coalition, with a total of more than 40,000 people in three divisions, and five old warships were opened, which can be said to have given John enough face.

And when the coalition forces of NATO member states are marching towards the Middle East in a majestic and majestic manner, they also let the world see one thing clearly, the United Nations is an ornament, NATO is the most powerful organization on the earth, and what the UN Secretary-General can't do with a broken leg is not worthy of John's words.

And in today's world, the only person who can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops from dozens of countries with a single sentence is the head of state of the government of the North and South of the United States, which is also a manifestation of the strength of the United States.

Therefore, the strength of a country is not only military, economic, and industrial, but also reflected in diplomacy and allies.

............

By the time NATO forces arrived in the Middle East, the war had been going on for two weeks, during which Egypt and Iraq had fought the heaviest fighting with Israel, with more than 100,000 soldiers killed on both sides.

However, despite the stubborn resistance of Egypt and Iraq, Israel still failed to break through the positions of the two armies, and the war inevitably entered a stalemate.

After the war entered a stalemate, the coalition forces of Afghanistan, Jordan, Lebanon and other countries also engaged in war with Israel, and for a time Israel's surroundings became a war zone, and Israel fell into the most unfavorable multi-front operation.

The blitzkrieg did not work, and it fell into a multi-front war, which is the last thing Israel wants to see, huge casualties, huge attrition, and over time Israel gradually becomes passive

After the war enters a stalemate, it will become a war of attrition, and the key to determining the outcome is mainly to see who has more resources and who has a steady stream of energy to replenish consumption.

Israel is not rich, there are not many mineral resources and oil, and the population resources are not as good as the *** countries, in the past, there was the big brother of the United States, so it could get a steady stream of support, and now the United States has cut off all support, its weaknesses have been exposed, and the balance of war has gradually tilted towards the *** coalition forces.

As time passed, consumption increased day by day, under the protracted siege of many countries, Israel gradually lost its advantage, the coalition seized the opportunity to carry out a comprehensive counterattack, the identities of the two sides were completely changed, the coalition became the attacker, Israel became the defender, and the two sides launched an unprecedented battle in the Sinai Peninsula, the Golan Heights, and the Suez Canal.

For a time, the land of the Middle East was full of wars, thick smoke, rivers of blood, and every minute a shell smashed on this land and took several lives.

Human life here is the least valuable, tragic as a mustard, in the eyes of those in power, not a single life, just a list of numbers killed in battle.

Outside the battlefield, civilians dragged their belongings to escape the war, and in order to survive, they had to leave the place where they lived and walk hundreds of kilometers to live in a completely unfamiliar place.

Those who do not want to leave will eventually be driven away by the army and become displaced refugees. Just like the Jews now, after five wars in the Middle East, Israel has invaded the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights, greatly expanding the territory, and the Israeli government has driven away all the Jews living on these lands.

In war, it is always the civilians who suffer the most, the civilians who die the most, it is always the people in power who start the war, but it is always the civilians who bear the war, and the world is so unfair.

......

However, when the Middle East was shrouded in the clouds of war and civilians were displaced, there was peace in Morgan Manor, and John, who indirectly caused the war, was lying on a small boat watching the white clouds in the sky, floating in Swan Lake, he could not hear the wails thousands of miles away, he could not see the scenes of rivers of blood, he could not feel the voices of people's longing for peace, everything in the distance had nothing to do with him, and it was not even as important as the white clouds in his eyes.

"Whew!"

A swan suddenly stopped at the bow of the boat and called at John with its mouth wide open, and the swans in Swan Lake were never afraid of people, and even met John and Mrs. Morgan, who often threw food at them, and they would come forward to ask for food.

"Go, go, go...... , how can I take a small dried fish with me anytime and anywhere!"

John sat up and waved away the swans standing at the bow of the boat begging for food.

The swan didn't get food, and resentful, hovered over John's head, dropped a biobomb while John was not looking, and then flapped his little wings and flew towards the shore, leaving behind an angry and scolding John.

"This bastard has become a sperm, and the next time I encounter it, I have to catch it and stew it. John pinched his nose with one hand, took off his coat with the other and threw it on the bow of the boat, looked at the swans on the shore, and put a cruel word in his mouth.

In these years, whether the field can be found back is another matter, but cruel words must be released, even if the object is a swan.

Just as John watched the swans on the shore put down his cruel words, on the lake not far away, Dani sailed towards John in a small boat.

“boss!”

"What's the matter?"

After the two boats were a few meters apart, Dani and John spoke to each other.

"William has come to Morgan Manor to look for you. ”

"What is this kid doing! Didn't you ask him to design missiles?"

"He seems to have designed it, and this time he came for you to review. ”

"So fast!"

John was a little surprised, he clearly remembered that he had given the task to William Stillman, as if it had only been a few months.

"Let's go, I'll have a look in the study!"

John did not enjoy any more leisure time, so he took Dani and rowed the boat towards the shore, and after going ashore and handing over the coat that had been left in the bow of the boat to the servant, he and Dani went with him towards the study.
