Chapter 161: Three Great War Zones

readx;

Compared with Israel, a military power, South Sudan, which is still a third world, is even more vulnerable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so to speak, with the developed Abyeh, South Sudan is still in the era of farming and burning.

Two armoured divisions of Abyeha's army marched from Bentiu to Malakal, a major city in northern South Sudan.

Just like the British attack on Belgium at the beginning, it took almost less than a day, and the modern offensive method of all-round land and air combination, Malakal fell.

There was still a strait between Britain and Belgium, but there was something between Abyeh and South Sudan, which was a large expanse of empty savanna, which was best suited for corps-scale combat, and Abyeh was fully mechanized and marched at lightning speed, so it was not surprising that such a result was achieved.

"What's the reaction from South Sudan?" Yang Tian asked.

Said said: "South Sudanese President Azid urgently dispatched the whole team to defend south of Malakal, between the two river basins, and at the same time, the Intelligence Bureau received information that Azid also submitted a request to the African Union, hoping that the African Union would mediate. ”

The so-called two river basins, is the two branches of the lower reaches of the White Nile, the entire White Nile River runs through the north and south of Sudan, especially at the junction of the two countries, due to the change of topography, the river from north to south suddenly turned westward, producing a large number of tributaries, and two of them are relatively large, flowing through South Sudan is the so-called two river basins, a Jebel River, an Alibo River.

Malakal is in the upper reaches of these two rivers, and in the middle of the two rivers, there is a large plain map, containing rich oil resources, which is one of the main reasons why Yang Tian chose to attack here.

"Mediation, I want to see if the AU dares to help him at this time." Yang Tian smiled contemptuously.

Originally, in order to build a stable rear, Yang Tian also wanted to join the African Union. But now Yang Tian has regarded Africa as his own backyard, and he is in alliance with China, so the negotiation process for joining the African Union has been suspended, and Yang Tian is too lazy to pay attention to the rights and wrongs of the African Union, knowing that in the dark three days, the African Union is also active frequently, and under the leadership of several countries in South Africa, it also intends to divide defense zones and military development priorities like the European Union.

"South Sudan is not strong. I give the Ministry of Defense half a month to see the results, how about it, Saleh, can it be done. Yang Tian thought for a while.

A large number of poor and weak countries in Africa were not Abye's opponents in the first place, not to mention that Abye now has an army of mechas, in Yang Tian's opinion, it should be the rhythm that sweeps everything.

After that army mutiny crisis. Saleh was obviously much more cautious, first glanced at Said on the other side, saw Said nodded slightly, and then said, "I think there should be no problem." ”

Yang Tian also noticed these small details. But he didn't pay attention to it, looked at the map of Africa on the big screen for a moment, and said: "I am now dividing the East African theater and integrating it into the Ninth and Tenth Army." It was an East African army group, and after annexing South Sudan, it marched eastward. Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Djibouti, and Eritrea are all part of the East African Army Group's area of operations. ”

At the time of the initial expansion, Yang Tian expanded a total of ten armies, each of which was roughly three divisions, about 50,000 people, and ten armies, exactly 500,000.

Among them, the First Army is the earliest veteran of Abyeh, with the largest number of veterans, who fought the war to annex Sudan and has the strongest combat effectiveness.

Of course, this is not to say that the remaining few military fighters are weak, and if you really want to calculate them, they are not as good as the combat effectiveness of the United States and other military powers, but they are still several levels stronger than the armies of this poor part of Africa.

Of course, they knew that Africa had always been in Yang Tian's strategic goals, and it was originally a lack of strength to be able to fight on multiple fronts and expand wildly, but now that it is cooperating with China and having sufficient strategic resources, the previous problems are no longer a problem.

"At the same time, the commander of the Ninth Army, Maika, was appointed as the supreme commander of the East African Theater of Operations and awarded the rank of lieutenant general." Yang Tian thought for a moment before saying.

Said was beaming, Maika was his old subordinate, and now he was promoted to the commander of a theater of operations, which was also the improvement of his own power.

"Central Africa, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi, Congo, Angola, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Cameroon are designated as the Central African Theater of Operations, which will be incorporated into the Fifth to Eighth Armies, and the Theater Commander will appoint Butasi as the commander of the Sixth Army." Yang Tiandao.

The Central African Theater drawn by Yang Tian was undoubtedly much larger than the East African Theater, almost twice as much as the East African Theater, and it was only then that the four armies were reorganized. And this Butasi is a person that Yang Tianji has an impression of, who was the backbone of the Patriotic Liberation Front, and he commanded the original attack on Port Sudan.

Butasi is undoubtedly Saleh's man, and he has occupied such a large part of the Central African region at once, even if he is too cautious, he is in a rare good mood.

The division of this war zone undoubtedly involves huge interests, the allocation of military resources, the garrison of the occupied area, and so on.

Saleh and Said, the two tigers of the military, each got the benefits of one side, and they also looked at Yang Tian with a blank eye, because if they continue to be distributed in this way, they will inevitably have to be in the West African theater, the North African theater and the South African theater.

These are three tempting cakes, and of course they have to put in their bags.

After a deep sigh, Yang Tian said again: "Dividing the West African theater, Libya, south of Algeria, west of Chad, north of Cameroon, and east coast of the Atlantic, all of them are West African theaters, and they are incorporated into the Third and Fourth Army, and the commander of the theater is Mutafa. ”

That's right, it was Mutafa who, after the purge turmoil, a large number of officials were rehabilitated, and Mutafa, who had proven himself in the Israeli War, naturally did not put it on hold anymore and came to the front again, but was no longer in charge of the Israeli war, but in the Ministry of Defense, waiting for the assignment of tasks.

Saleh and Saeed frowned, if they were the founding heroes of Abyeq, then Mutafa was a rising star, a representative of the military's young and strong faction.

Now Yang Tian's attitude has been very clear, in addition to continuing to balance the officers of the two factions of Saleh and Said, he has also raised the rising young Zhuang faction to the same position as Saleh and other meritorious heroes, and has achieved a tripartite balance.

The West African theater is also not small, such a big cake fell into the hands of the young Zhuang faction, and Saleh and Saeed could almost foresee the rise of the young Zhuang faction.

However, this is Yang Tian's highest decision, and they can't discuss or oppose it, they just look at Yang Tian with burning eyes, the West African Theater will be given to the Qingzhuang faction, and there is a North African Theater and a South African Theater below, so it can't be given to the Qingzhuang faction anymore, just right, Saleh and Saeed are one by one, or balanced.

However, Yang Tian, who had arranged the West African Theater, seemed to have forgotten the allocation of the North African Theater and the South African Theater, so he just waved his hand and said, "Okay, today's national defense meeting is here, and the Ministry of National Defense is responsible for the specific matters and transfers." ”

Saleh and Saeed were obviously stunned, and Saleh was in a hurry, so he asked directly: "Chairman, what about the North African Theater and the South African Theater?" ”

Yang Tian glanced at Saleh meaningfully, and was silent for a moment before saying, "The North African Theater and the South African Theater will discuss again." ”

After that, Yang Tian didn't give Saleh a chance to argue again, got up and left the conference room.

In essence, Yang Tian did not set up the North African Theater and the South African Theater of Operations, but also had his own considerations, one is that the military strength is insufficient, once these three theaters of war are divided, it is no longer a two-line operation, but a four-line operation, not to mention that there is no sufficient army, no matter which line has a moth, Yang Tian can also have a room for maneuver.

The second is the particularity of these two regions, there is a South Africa in the South African theater, of course Yang Tian will not be afraid of South Africa, but South Africa's military strength cannot be ignored, especially in the development of these years, it has the momentum to catch up with and surpass Egypt and become the first military power in Africa.

Soft egg, Yang Tian can pinch it as much as he wants, this hard stone naturally has to be left until the end before knocking.

As for North Africa, the situation is even more special, Egypt, Libya, Algeria and other countries are not members of the African Union, but members of the Arab League, and Saudi Arabia, a big tyrant, advance and retreat together, including Egypt and other military powers, Yang Tian, who has not free his hands, does not plan to move the Arab League for the time being.

Yang Tian's consideration was that after capturing Israel and gaining a foothold in the Middle East, he would go back and clean up the Middle East and North Africa together.

And just when Yang Tian was dividing the African theater of operations and planning to start a war on multiple fronts, the Anglo-German war in Europe broke out again, causing unexpected changes in Yang Tian. (To be continued.) )
