Chapter 147: Unwanted Victory
readx;
Gerald was really excited for a while because of the chaos in Abyeh's country, but the excitement came and went quickly, and the Israelis soon learned that Cook, who had just taken over from Mutafa, planned to launch a new offensive. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The news from various sources has confirmed this matter, and the offensive is just around the corner in the near future.
In particular, the fact that the Red Sea Fleet set sail and took advantage of the passage through the Suez Canal could not conceal the military satellites flying all over the sky.
Almost all of Israel's major cities, with the exception of the central city of Jerusalem, are located on the shores of the Mediterranean, and Israel's notorious navy cruises the Mediterranean.
"Send out the navy to meet the enemy, strive to consume the enemy's living forces, and delay the progress of the enemy's attack." Gerald gave the supreme order directly.
……
On May 29, on the calm Mediterranean, a huge fleet sailed slowly, and it was the Red Sea Fleet.
Helicopters hovered in the sky, frigates scattered, and submarines followed in the depths of the seabed.
Entering the Mediterranean, the Red Sea Fleet did not dare to relax in the slightest, and Thorndike, who had newly taken over as commander-in-chief of the Red Sea Fleet, although he did not have outstanding war talents, had the acumen and prudence of a politician.
Sometimes, the politician with eighteen plates of intestines is more terrible and dangerous than the soldier with the intestines.
The Mediterranean Sea is not calm, not to mention Israel's unstable naval forces, the US Mediterranean Fleet alone should not be underestimated.
Dozens of meters deep underwater, a nuclear-powered submarine glides silently across the bottom of the sea, like a ghost.
The stealth performance of submarines. A very important point is the sound, the propeller rotation will occur cavitation, the sound is not loud, but in the sonar is the level of noise.
The reason for cavitation is that there are subtle uneven surfaces on the propellers, don't look at the propellers look very simple, but because the curved surfaces are too special, there is no strong industrial lathe ability, and there is no such complex propeller surface.
But Abuya, who owns the Tianyang, is different, the propeller is rolled out in one piece, and even the most complex curved surfaces can be easily processed. So in the processing and manufacturing industry. Abyeji's military industry has always been of a high standard.
The same is true for submarines, although Abyeha's submarine has not been announced to the public, but the few leaks of information have also allowed the outside world to confirm. Abyeha's submarine army is divided into nuclear-powered submarines and conventionally powered submarines. The submarine is equipped with a Sky Eye radar system. With the world's best stealth ability, it will have an immeasurable advantage in sneak attack operations.
In the cockpit of a submarine. Captain Freeman was staring nervously at the Poseidon system.
The whole combat system with the Sky Eye Radar as the core, named the Poseidon System, has several detection methods, in addition to the basic Sky Eye Radar, there are also optimized sonar and other systems, which can detect the enemy at the first time.
"Confirm the target, three Dolphin-class submarines, approach, and enter range after forty seconds." A soldier shouted.
Freeman nodded secretly, because the Israeli navy is weak, since the start of the war, it has basically been air and land battles, the scale of the naval battle is pitiful, Israel's few missile boats have been bombed into scum before they get close, and the few remaining submarines do not dare to enter the Red Sea, they are all held in the Mediterranean.
So this is also the first operation since the establishment of the submarine force, Freeman certainly attaches importance to it, and there is a little more excitement.
"Notify the command center, pull the alarm, enter the first level of combat readiness." Freeman calmly gave the order.
A sharp alarm sounded inside the submarine, and one by one the soldiers got out of the rest cabin and entered the preparation post, and the battle was about to break out.
"Twenty meters up, thirteen degrees of elevation, No. 2 target locked, 1 Swordfish type 1 ready, launch, 2 ready, launch!"
"Target hit."
……
On the sea, on the Yang Tian mothership, Thorndike also received the battle report for the first time, needless to say, all three Israeli submarines were annihilated, and his own side suffered zero losses.
"Waste." Thorndike snorted softly, his face full of disdain.
Although I knew that the Israeli Navy was rotten, I didn't expect it to be rotten to such an extent, and there was almost no ability to resist.
This kind of easy victory made Thorndike inevitably a little fluttering, feeling that Israel was nothing more than that, and it took Mutafa so long and so many people to die before pushing the battle line there, which was not the reason why Israel was too strong at all, but because of poor command, no wonder Yang wanted to remove Mutafa from his position, this person was unusable.
The mighty Red Sea Fleet roamed the Mediterranean, and although it was subjected to stubborn sniping from the Israeli navy, Thorndike saw such resistance as a futile effort.
At about 3 p.m. local time, the Red Sea Fleet had advanced to 20 kilometers west of Tel Aviv as planned.
Here, the mighty Red Sea Fleet can bomb Tel Aviv at any time, without scruples.
"Order the fighter formations to take off and bomb the main targets in Tel Aviv." Thorndike gave the order, but his mind was not on Tel Aviv at all, but in the east, where, in conjunction with the Red Sea Fleet's operations, Abyej's army would also launch a new offensive.
……
At the Israeli Southern Command, the atmosphere in the command center was already tense to the extreme, and Halsen was deploying with the operational staff officer.
The actions of the army in the south have sent a signal that Abyeh is about to launch a new offensive, especially when the Red Sea Fleet enters the Mediterranean, and it is clear that Abyeh is going to fight on two fronts, attacking Israel on both sides.
In this case, Halsen still has to continue the previous plan of the Ministry of Defense, purposefully delay the course of the war, abandon the line south of Beersheba, and redeploy in Jerusalem.
In the evening of the same day, the war broke out directly.
Several of Abyeh's armored divisions, under the cover of the air force, gathered together and advanced wildly towards Beersheba with a sweeping momentum.
The Israeli side also organized small-scale battles to resist, but in the face of Abyeha's army, not to mention the intention of retreating, there was no chance of victory in a head-to-head battle.
On this night alone, the front advanced hundreds of kilometers to the north, and Abyeh had the main army to capture Be'er Sheva, although the surrounding area was still under Israeli control, but in the overall situation, Abyeh was like a wedge, nailed to Be'er Sheva, wedged into the central heart of Israel.
Although Cook is a little arrogant, he graduated from a regular military academy in the end, and he also has excellent military literacy, and he also knows the advantages of concentrating forces to fight.
As for the Red Sea Fleet, it carried out an unscrupulous bombing of Tel Aviv, a modern city, which fell into a mess in an instant, and even Israel's Prime Minister's Office, parliament buildings and other landmark buildings were razed to the ground.
It was a huge victory.
……
When the news came back to Abye's country, it was rare to dispel the cold atmosphere of the previous day, and the whole country was immersed in the joy of victory, that is, within the government, there was much less criticism of Yang Tian's domineering actions.
You look at you, when the decision made by the chairman was wrong, and the war did not go well, then there must be a problem, either Mutafa had a problem, or the Ministry of Defense had a problem, and now it is okay, the chairman has a far-sighted view, replaced Mutafa and a group of officials, and immediately won a big victory, Israel is losing and retreating, and even the capital is not being bombed. What is this, this is the wise leadership of the President.
In an instant, this kind of voice became more and more, and countless officials were once again impressed by Yang Tian's wisdom, and they were also ashamed of their original doubts about Yang Tian.
There is only one person who keeps calm in this warm atmosphere, and he is Zhou Kai.
"Prime Minister, we won the battle, but I don't think you're very happy." The secretary general of the Prime Minister's Office asked with some puzzlement.
Zhou Kai nodded and shook his head, and said after a while: "Of course, I am worth rejoicing about winning the battle, but I am afraid that this victory is just a flash in the pan and will not last long." ”
"Prime Minister, why do you say that?" The secretary general was confused, and he didn't know why Zhou Kai had such an assertion, the war has been fought like this, and he is about to live and win and annex Israel, can Israel still reverse the defeat and turn the tables around?
Zhou Kai smiled bitterly, obviously unwilling to explain.
Where does the Secretary-General know that the current Zhou Kai is not afraid of failure, what he is afraid of is victory.
In Zhou Kai's view, the temporary victory and defeat of the current war will not affect the final trend and result, but it will affect another more important thing, that is, Yang Tian's attitude.
If the army is changed and defeated, then Yang Tian may still be vigilant and reflective, but if he wins, then what will Yang Tian think, he will definitely think, my decision to do this is correct, and it should be carried out, continue to purge those who disobey me, and completely control the army.
Compared to the victory or defeat of the war, this will really affect the fate of Abyeh's entire country.
Thinking of this, Zhou Kai was helpless, and secretly scolded this little-known Cook for having some ability, why did he win?
As Zhou Kai thought, the taste of victory made Yang Tian a little fluttery, after nearly two months, Yang Tian made his first public appearance to the people, held a huge celebration in the memorial square, and took the opportunity to deliver a generous and warm speech to all the people.
"Victory will keep coming!" Yang Tian asserted.
At the same time, Yang Tian was also not stingy with the soldiers on the front line, Cook and Thorndike respectively awarded Abyeh the highest national independence medal of honor, and officers of all sizes were either promoted or honored.
As for the remaining officials of the Ministry of National Defense, Yang Tian was unceremoniously made a big move, and once again carried out a purge and blood exchange, and countless officials lost their power and were replaced by the Qingzhuang faction, and the entire Ministry of Defense is already the world of the Qingzhuang faction.
In this case, Cook has planned a new offensive with only one goal, Jerusalem, the holy city in the hearts of the Jews. (To be continued.) )
