The clouds of war hanging over the world have finally lifted a little, and 11 years ago, Serov deceived again, prepared in advance, and fired artillery at the United Nations General Assembly, finally allowing the US troops to withdraw from the Guantanamo Bay. www.biquge.info The Soviet Union took out the big Ivan at the bottom of the box, restarted the nuclear test during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and carried out first-level combat readiness to frighten the United States. And eleven years later, the Soviet Union had just activated the second level of combat readiness and made corresponding arrangements to solve the confrontation in the Mediterranean, or in that sentence, the Soviet Union was stronger.

Serov has no special feelings, and the historical confrontation in the Mediterranean is itself the result of the United States' retreat. The second naval confrontation between the two sides ended in a 1-1 draw. The difference from history is the land, the original history of the US-Soviet Mediterranean confrontation, the Arabs on land were defeated. So that the Soviet Union was in a very awkward position in the confrontation with the United States.

This time it was different, in fact, it was different in many places, and the Arab side had made great strides in its preparations, training, and warfare methods, and the Soviet Union finally did not have to take action in person this time, and had no scruples about giving it a free hand with the United States.

The news of the US Navy's retreat quickly spread to the Warsaw Pact countries and the Soviet-backed Arab countries, but on the contrary, it had an inevitable impact on the Israeli soldiers who relied on the defensive line to kill and wound the Arab coalition forces. All directions are like iron buckets.

As long as the U.S. airlift continues, Israel can certainly continue to hold out and inflict losses on the Arab coalition forces. But there is no point in such a war, just bloodshed in vain. So far, Israel has lost all the gains of its wars except Jerusalem, and Syria and Egypt have regained their lost territory.

Considering this situation, even if she was unwilling, Madame Meir could not continue. Nixon expressed his desire to stop the war in the United States, and Israel has already lost more than 5,000 casualties on the front line of contact between the two sides, which is very low compared to the death toll of more than 20,000 Arab people, but it is still unbearable for Israel. Both sides have consumed more than half of their tanks and more than half of their aircraft, and even the Republican Guard in Egypt, Syria and Iraq have suffered heavy losses.

This is mainly due to the fact that Israel has established a strong defensive line before the start of the war, and if the active attack is ineffective, the backup defensive line will work, so it has withstood the Arab coalition army, which is nearly three times its own number. 400,000 Israeli soldiers, firmly holding the line, so that the Arab army, which had grown to more than 900,000, could not move forward.

"The Arab coalition will not be able to fight any longer, but is there any information on this, which side of the armies of Syria, Iraq and Egypt has achieved more results? Or is it more combative? Serov is interested in this issue, and Egypt has always been the leader of the Arab world, at least so far. Syria is also growing rapidly under Assad's leadership, not to mention Iraq, which has changed color. According to the usual experience, it seems that the countries led by the Communist Party are relatively strong in combat, and there are too many examples, China, Vietnam and Yemen, and the civil war in the early stage of the Korean War.

On the Arab side, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, 150,000, and Jordan contributed 100,000 troops, plus Libya, ******, Sudan, South Yemen, and Palestine, gathered the military forces of almost all Arab countries, except for Algeria, which did not succeed in independence.

Having said that, Algeria seems to be dissatisfied with France's lack of support for the Arabs, and a trend of independence has emerged. I don't know if it will succeed this time, and how long France will be able to save this overseas province.

"From the point of view of the reconquest, the Egyptian army has the strongest combat effectiveness, and the tough battles are mainly concentrated near the Golan Heights." Morikin, head of the First General Directorate, gave a detailed account of the situation.

At the beginning of the war, the Israeli army was completely defeated. Through the interrogation of the Israeli prisoners, the Syrian army command learned that the Israeli tank commanders stationed on the front line of the Golan Heights were completely at a loss for what to do in the face of the sudden war, and they even complained that they did not know where the artillery fire came from, and the Israeli air force had also suffered heavy losses due to the interception of Syrian anti-aircraft missiles and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, so much so that it had to prohibit the pilots from approaching the battlefield for 20 kilometers.

In the northern sector, where the fighting was most intense, the Syrian 7th Infantry Division was led by two rows of tanks advancing slowly and in parallel, and the tanks acting as shock strikers also installed mine-clearing plows or mine-clearing rollers at the nose of the vehicles to destroy minefields, followed by a large number of tank destroyers and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. Shaham, commander of the 188th Brigade of the Israeli Army, gave an order to the 74th Tank Battalion stationed there to defend to the death, and the battalion commander Navsh split the troops into a platoon of three tanks to counterattack the Syrian troops who had attacked the incoming Syrian troops. This experienced tanker keenly discovered that in order for the Syrian armored column to launch a surprise attack, it had to climb over a mountain ridge south of Mount Hermon, so he personally led more than 20 tanks to the commanding heights of Mount Bust. There, Navsh observed that the 7th Division's minesweeper tanks and boat-bridge tanks were crossing a narrow saucer-shaped gorge, and ordered his tanks to concentrate fire. Huge losses were inflicted on Syrian tanks here.

The entire battle in the Golan Heights was completely a pot of porridge, and because of the chaos of the battlefield, it was often the commanders of both battalions and company commanders who could decide the fate of the war. For Syria, victory is in hand as long as the troops can reach the Arik Bridge, the choke point where Israel, Syria and Jordan meet. After being replenished by the Iraqi army, the Arab coalition advanced despite the casualties and allowed the main Israeli forces attacking Egypt to come back to their aids, turning the war into a war of attrition.

According to Morikin, the battle for the Golan Heights caused Israel to abandon its original plan to attack Egypt, crushing the war that Israel had started on its own initiative, at the cost of losing 800 tanks supplied by the Soviet Union to Syria and Iraq.

"What can I do? Our allies are at this level! Serov forced himself not to think about the question of how the 800 tanks disappeared, because Iraq was fighting with Syria, he didn't know what Iraq's combat effectiveness would be after the change of color, but even if it was stronger, it was limited.

This war, which lasted less than a month, turned into a war of attrition, which successfully wiped out the wealth accumulated by both sides over the past few years, and now the front between the two sides is full of weapons wreckage, and the Arab coalition forces have lost 2,700 tanks alone, and Israel has lost more than 900 tanks.

Of course, Israel changed its defense strategy after this, and the current belligerents are not yet aware of it. Dragged into a war of attrition twice in a row by a large Arab state, Israel, which had a small number of people, began to carefully construct a defensive zone to protect itself, and at the same time used a powerful air force as a prestige, which was the main strategy of the government after Mrs. Meir.

Large-scale wars have stopped, skirmishes continue, and both sides remain on high alert. However, Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko and US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger have already set off for diplomatic mediation in Middle Eastern countries. As for President Nixon, he was very busy, and the US House of Representatives decided that the Judiciary Committee of the House would be responsible for investigating and collecting evidence of Nixon's crimes in preparation for Nixon's impeachment.

The successive visits of Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, ******, Morocco, and everywhere they passed were unanimously welcomed by the peoples of these countries, and the leaders of these countries welcomed the arrival of the Soviet Foreign Minister with the highest standards.

This is the advantage of being outnumbered, and with the increase in the price of oil, many European countries have also adopted policy adjustments to the Arab countries, which is actually similar to the policy of the Soviet Union, the policy of relaxation.

In contrast to the warm welcome received by Gromyko, US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger received a much smaller welcome. In addition to Kissinger's visit to Israel, there were several countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates, and apart from a simple welcome in Israel, there were no welcoming ceremonies in Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait.

With the exception of Iran, these countries are all Arab countries, and Iran is also a member of the pacifist religion, and although the Pahlavi Shah is not interested in religion, he must also be careful about public opinion, and it is not easy for him to accept Kissinger's visit. Now, if Kissinger shows his identity and walks the streets of these countries, he may be killed by extremists.

Andropov, Ustinov, and Serov discussed the changes after the war, after all, the Middle East was very important to the Soviet Union, what would happen to the current rise in oil prices, which country would benefit, and whether the countries that benefited would impact the current order.

"Saudi Arabia and Iran will benefit, but it will be bad for our allies, except for Iraq. Saudi Arabia and Iran are both countries with a strong religious atmosphere, and beware of the United States taking advantage of this to support them to disrupt the current order. "Andropov, secretary of the Central Committee, analyzed the pros and cons, and that there are positive and negative consequences for any thing that happens.

Serov nodded, this is a factor that cannot be ignored. None of the allies of the Soviet Union were particularly high oil reserves, and the Soviet Union supported them because they were more progressive, while Saudi Arabia and Iran were both kingdoms and had strong folk religions. How can the Arab countries get rid of the confinement of the Middle Ages, in fact, it is simply too much, as long as the European and American countries do a little bit and do not eliminate the Arab secular regime, but they are unwilling, and Europe and the United States are the biggest supporters of the Arab religious forces.
