Chapter 18: The two strongholds meet
In the sky, swarms of airships rumbled their engines, similar to the scene during the previous attack on Donbass. The difference is that at that time, the airship group of 'Thunder International' took off from Israel.
Sitting in a "phalanx" module, Rosenik with cold eyes, looks at the scorching desert below, and here is the sky over Saudi Arabia. Like Li Erzi, in this desert operation, one of them was in charge of airlifting troops, and the other was in charge of armored troops.
Either way, this is a desert operation. As high-ranking military officers of the Chinese Federation interested in the Middle East, the experience of desert warfare is a rare asset for them.
But Luo Hannik, who has always been focused on the task, doesn't look so focused at this time, and his eyes that have always been cold also show some enthusiasm because of the photo in his hand. In that photo, it was Elisabeth, the doctor on the Yunyang airship, whose enthusiasm with Spanish blood made Rosenik, the cold ice of the Arctic, feel warm.
Looking out over the ground from his spherical "phalanx" module made of large pieces of bulletproof glass, Saudi Arabia's future king, Abdulaziz Saud, has asked his men to set up landmarks on the ground every 50 kilometers in the desert. Even if they were on the road at night, the airship group had no chance of getting lost.
For this convenience, Thunder International provided an "Hawkeye II reconnaissance/command airship" to provide sufficient intelligence for this king, the ongoing unification war.
Rossenik put Elizabeth's picture back in his pocket, knowing that he was the commander of the "God Killer" unit, and if the soldiers knew that he still had such a side, he was worried that it would cause a bad reaction.
Raising his head and looking at the vast sea of sand, his heart returned to this battle.
"Either way, we just want the city. As long as they leave, we will use only the bare minimum of force. ”
This was the instruction of the Supreme Commander in this operation, Rommel the Desert Fox. As an officer who was infected by the smell of Shanxi merchants, Rommel now considered the issues more comprehensively when he was fighting.
"Minimal force!? It's funny, this is war, what are the limits of force! ”
Also, from the battlefield of the First World War, bloody intelligence warfare work behind enemy lines. Later, Rossenik, who followed Tang Yunyang to fight half the world, still had any scruples when he fought.
As the first ruthless killer under Tang Yunyang, ruthlessness and unsparing attacks are the characteristics of the air assault division he leads. It is also the reason why Tang Yunyang's enemies often feel frightened.
"Only the dead will not fight back, and only the dead will obey absolutely!"
In a sense, Rossenik's creed is somewhat similar to Thunder International's creed of "I don't kill, people will kill me". The difference is that the latter is somewhat out of desperation, while he is completely the main means to achieve the goal.
"The Iranian army, that's also an army?"
The characteristics of this operation are that it is easy first and then difficult, and the Iranian army is certainly vulnerable. However, the British colonial army there and the combined British and national armies that may then participate in the war are the real enemies of the 5 brigades of Thunder International. However, the current situation is that there is no definite news about the number of troops that Britain and the country may mobilize.
In addition, the biggest problem in this operation is that it is impossible for Thunder International to receive direct reinforcements from the Chinese Federation.
So who is Rommel's opponent, who was nicknamed "Desert Fox" by Tang Yunyang?
"Mr. Admiral, when we pass through the waters of Sicily at night, we will be able to completely hide from the eyes of the Satanic Eagle!"
Army General Edmund Henry Heinman Allenby has long been a senior military officer in charge of local affairs in the Middle East. In World War I, he organized and commanded the Battle of Arras (1917) and the Third Battle of Gaza (1917); the Battle of Jerusalem (1917); The Battle of Megiddo (1918).
He was not interested in the eagle of Satan, who had repeatedly caused great suffering to Britain, nor had he been as worried as anyone else. At least he had too high an opinion of Douglas Haig, and this time he was recruited by London to lead the LinkedIn Expeditionary Force against the Satanic Eagle, the starting force - Thunder International, which was appointed at his strong request.
Admiral John Jellico, who had participated in the Battle of Jutland, glanced at him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. Of course, he had nothing to fault with this general who had won a brilliant victory in the Middle East in World War I. But it is definitely not a correct idea to take the "eagle of Satan" lightly.
"It is not easy to hide from the eyes of the eagle of Satan. I think there has been no secret about our whereabouts since the day the soldiers came on board! ”
General Edmund Allenby stroked his neatly trimmed beard under his nose with a look of complete distrust on his face. At the same time, because of Admiral John Jellico's biased attitude towards Tang Yunyang, his voice was greatly raised.
"Admiral Jericho, I don't quite understand. Why do you and General Haig think so highly of the Satanic Eagle? He is our enemy, and of course we should take him seriously! But we can't think too highly of him, we can look at what he has done, all of which are unreasonable, robber-like methods! We in the British Empire have had such setbacks with such a fellow, but we should all work together to make him understand that he is not God in this outer world! ”
"Is that so? Do you see another person who can build a huge empire that has decayed and declined into the Chinese Federation of China today in just a few years? Personally, the most valuable thing is that he did not convert the country into his own private property, as the founding monarchs of China did.
I must admit that the last time the fleet of the combined European forces under my command failed at his hands, it was not a question of command or cooperation. That's because his methods are sharp and swift, and before we can understand it, our navy has completely fallen into the blows of the other side!
Therefore......"
Edmund Allenby finally no longer had the grace of an English gentleman, and with a wave of his hand he ended such an unpleasant conversation rather impolitely.
“…… Therefore, this time our army will give the eagle of Satan a taste of what it means to attack, what it means to be defeated! ”

A day later, at dawn again, the warships transporting the British ** fleet arrived at the colony of Syria.
On the rippling sea were groups of ships, lined up in long queues, long traces of smoke coming out of the chimneys. In the sky, the double-hull airship made a loud sound from its engines.
This is the country's port in Syria - Baniyas, Latanya, where the British Expeditionary Force and the National Foreign Legion will form the 8th Army Corps.
Among them, the British Expeditionary Force has 4 divisions, one of which is a tank division, the other is 2 armored infantry divisions and one light infantry division. There are more than 1,300 tanks and other types of armored vehicles. Plus an air fleet of 300 aircraft. The Foreign Legion dispatched one armored infantry division and two infantry divisions, with 120 aircraft.
As a result of this operation, it will be mainly in the inland direction. Therefore, on the frontal battlefield, General Edmund Allenby of the British Army and General Franchet des Perley formed the Joint Eighth Army Memorial Department to direct the entire operation. The British Army General is the Commander-in-Chief, and the National Army General is the Deputy Commander.
Along the way, they spent a long time with the navy, which was somewhat frightened in the face of the "Satanic Eagle", which made the officers and men of the British Army feel quite depressed. When Edmund Allenby arrived at the Combined Command, which was being prepared by Admiral Guo, his heart was much more comfortable.
It was a painting painted in oil paint on the wall, and a large hand was pinching the neck of a steel eagle that shimmered with flames. It seems that Chinese people who like romance also have a rather romantic idea about war. At least before the harsh war began, their optimism made Admiral Edmund Allenby's heart happy.
"Well, I saw the painting, and I can see that General, you are ready to defeat the Satanic Eagle!"
General Edmund Allenby smiled, and his answer made Edmund Allenby feel more favorable to him. While he has some unpleasant pride, Edmund Allenby sees it as nothing more than a spirit of optimism.
"Of course, while the whole world is compromising with which satanic eagle, our nation has been fighting a stubborn battle against him. This time, I believe that while the battle at the diplomatic level is won, the war will also end in our victory! ”
He reached out to his future colleague, both hands clasped tightly.
"Yes General, as an Englishman, although we have been wounded by the claws of the eagle of Satan, please believe it. As soon as we in the British Empire begin to deal with him in earnest, it will not be far off when he will return to hell! ”
The two optimistic generals worked closely together because of their common philosophy. Before the Second World War, the fiercest war on the desert was about to begin.
At the same time, this war will also be a time for the two "old enemies" to get together in the future.
"Is the commander on the other side that Rommel? Well, we didn't meet in the Somme War, so it's time for us to have a fight! ”
When the speaker put on his hat, Montgomery's skinny face with a mustache was revealed!
