Chapter 415: Chengguan is coming
Qi Fei looked at his right side in horror.
A column of water from an artillery shell exploded into the sky.
"Tama's, there are really people who touch tiger pi shares."
After a moment he was speechless.
It was an Egyptian army unit on the shore that had been going to cross the river from here to reinforce the Mitra Pass, but was enraged by the Ming army's imperial actions and resolutely opened fire on the Kaohsiung with their 105mm howitzers.
But then their bearings were locked.
The fifteen turrets of the four cruisers on the sea immediately rotated, and forty-five large-caliber naval guns aimed at the Egyptian artillery positions at the same time, and just as the latter completed the firing and then fired a salvo at the Kaohsiung with a battalion fire, forty-five 152 and 203 mm shells covered their positions.
However, an Egyptian shell also hit the Kaohsiung, but there were no casualties.
Fortunately, the Ming army did not continue to shell, but left the Yongle cruiser on guard to prevent the Egyptian army from blocking the channel with a sunken ship, and the remaining Kaohsiung and other ships continued to go north along the canal, after all, their task was to open the channel, not to wage war with Egypt.
Nasser, who learned the news, was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he is now considered to be the overbearing of the Ming army, obviously they are all a nation, why is the gap between them and the Xinhua people so big? The angry Egyptian government immediately issued a statement strongly condemning the Ming army's aggression and warning that if the Ming army continued to insist on going its own way, the Egyptian army would resolutely defend its territory and sovereignty, and would not rule out an attack on the Ming fleet sailing through the Suez Canal.
But it didn't help.
The hegemony of the Ming army is not a day or two. This is something that everyone on earth knows. The condemnation of the Ming army is not once or twice. In fact, there were a few times in any year, but it did not affect the fact that people were getting richer and stronger day by day, in short, the Kaohsiung fleet continued to advance unimpeded, and even when the United States and the Soviet Union warned Britain and France, they selectively forgot that there was another one in the south.
At this time, the whole world has been thrown into the war.
Unlike the naïve fantasies of Britain and France, the Soviet government reacted extremely strongly to this, after all, Egypt was the only ally of the Soviet Union in the Middle East at this time, and not only the aircraft carriers Ukraine and Armenia directly broke into the waters off Egypt. It was a close confrontation with the British and French fleets that were carrying out bombing missions, and the bald man made a direct threat of war.
The content of Britain and France is that what would happen if some country with devastating power also launched an attack on Britain and France?
And the threat to Canaan is even more ferocious, and it will be necessary to consider whether Canaan should continue to exist as a nation.
"Madamn, I haven't wiped the off my pi stock yet! And the face to come out and accuse others? What are the Soviet troops doing in Hungary? How did the Soviet tanks that were blown up on the streets of Budapest go? ”
Yang Feng said indignantly.
"Your Excellency, the situation is already dangerous, and the Soviet Union is openly threatening nuclear weapons."
Ignoring his foul language, Jensen said with a solemn face.
"What about the people of the United States? Are they just looking at it? ”
"Well, the U.S. government is also asking us to withdraw our troops."
"What? What kind of friend is this, it's just a matter of not helping them when you really need them. actually fell into the well and stabbed a knife in the back. It's unbelievable, have the people of the United States always been so shameless? Ah, I understand why the pound has depreciated sharply in the market recently, there is a black hand behind it! ”
Yang Feng said with a suddenly realized expression.
"Yes, Your Excellency, according to our intelligence, it is the government of the United States that is selling the pound, and they have rejected our loan to the World Bank and stopped our economic assistance."
Jensen said gloomily.
Although the two countries are constantly fighting openly and secretly, it is the first time that they have betrayed this kind of red luoluo, and the rice people have clearly told them that unless the Soviet Union directly attacks Western Europe or Egypt attacks British and French warships at sea, they have not fulfilled their obligations as a NATO alliance. In other words, if the Soviet carrier-based aircraft conducted an air battle with Britain and France in the airspace of Egypt, or if the Soviet Union directly bombed Canaan or even used small nuclear bombs, it would not be within the scope of the obligations of the United States!
This is actually instigating the Soviet Union, and if necessary, it can directly enter the war, as long as it is not an attack on British and French warships, then the United States will not intervene.
From this point of view, this ally who has signed a formal alliance treaty is really not as kind as Yang Feng, who has not signed any treaty, at least Yang Feng is really helping them.
"Don't worry, I'll take all the pounds they throw, the World Bank won't give you loans, I'll give you loans, isn't it money, I'm not short of money!"
Yang Feng said heroically.
Of course, he is not short of money, the dollar reserves of the Ming Imperial Bank have just exceeded 10 billion, and currently ranks first in the world, and this is because he and Comrade Li have been using US dollars for settlement, so a lot of them have flowed to Xinhua, and Xinhua's foreign exchange reserves were originally more than 100 million at this time, and now it is estimated that they will exceed 500 million.
It's useless to save more than this thing, since the people of the United States throw the pound, then he will continue to do it, saving pounds may not be useful to others, but it is definitely useful for him, because he can give those vests in Britain to buy British enterprises, including the acquisition of British real estate, in short, this business can not be lost. And having a large amount of pounds in your hands is also a kind of control over Britain, which can be used in the future when you want to annex North Borneo or Temasek.
His generosity made Jensen almost a little grateful, look, this is a real friend, what are the people of the United States, a group of rebellious ministers and thieves who climbed to the head of the master.
"But Your Excellency, what about the threat of nuclear bombs from the Soviets?"
Pierre said with a frown.
They don't have any financial danger, the people of the United States know very well that taking Britain will solve the problem, but for Gaul, the nuclear bomb of the Soviets is the most terrifying, the Britons are not afraid, they have probably saved a lot in their hands over the years, and most of them are equipped with meteor missiles, which can hit major cities in the Soviet Union at any time, and even nuclear Moscow Leningrad is no problem, but Gaul only has an atomic bomb in his hands, and this nuclear deterrence is useless, at least in the face of the Soviet Union.
"I have a proposal."
Yang Fengshen said mysteriously.
Jensen and the others looked at him.
"First of all, you can definitely win this war, there is nothing to say about this, and it will not take too long, in short, as long as the external threat is resolved, it is easy for you to recapture the Suez Canal, in this case we need to play a ruthless, one that can make the whole world tremble, but I need your courage for this."
Yang Feng said with a cruel smile.
And at this time, the Kaohsiung fleet once again encountered a new obstacle.
"Tell the Egyptians that there are still three hours before the deadline for the Führer, and that this illegal building must be demolished within three hours, otherwise don't blame us for giving them a hard chai."
Qi Fei said as he stood on the deck of the Kaohsiung with the same expression as their head of state.
In front of him, on the Suez Canal, there was a pontoon bridge, which the Egyptians hastily erected to transport troops to the Sinai Peninsula, at this time a group of Egyptian soldiers was walking across the bridge, and a T54A tank, the heavy tank pressed a downward recess on the pontoon, the 100-mm tank gun on the turret was pointing to this side, and not far from the shore, a new group of 130-mm cannons was also pointing at the Ming fleet.
Of course, these are also useless.
Because there are still more than twenty tiger sharks and pirates hovering above the head of the Ming fleet.
At this time, the Egyptian Air Force had almost been wiped out, originally they lost all the most advanced Yak-25 in the air battle with Canaan over the Sinai Peninsula in the early days, although they also shot down three Tiger Sharks, but the results of 30 to 3 still made a dazzling advertisement for the Tiger Sharks, you must know that the Tiger Sharks of the Canaan Air Force were not willing to buy air-to-air missiles.
Then it was followed by the indiscriminate bombardment of British and French fighters, and now there are zero fighters that can take to the air.
"Your Excellency, we are using this pontoon."
Soon an Egyptian officer boarded the Kaohsiung and said with a humiliating and sad look on his face that although Nasser shouted fiercely, in fact he had already sent a notice to all the armies along the canal, trying to exercise restraint, and absolutely could not give the Ming army an excuse for aggression.
"I didn't say I wouldn't let you use it, but you can't keep us from going for your convenience! Don't say that I am bullying you, we are strictly abiding by the Convention of Constantinople, and the first article of the Convention can be clearly written, in wartime as in peacetime, this canal must be open to all merchant ships and warships flying the flag of any country, and in wartime and peacetime, we must not interfere with the free use of the canal, and the canal is absolutely not restricted by blockade, so this pontoon bridge of yours is illegal. ”
Qi Fei took a copy of the Treaty of Constantinople and said righteously.
"Well, Your Excellency, that treaty was signed by the Ottoman Empire, and now this canal is owned by the Republic of Egypt."
Egyptian officer said.
"First, the signatories include the Ottoman Governor of Egypt, second, the Kingdom of Egypt recognizes this Convention, and we do not recognize the Republic of Egypt, we still recognize the Kingdom of Egypt, and third, even you have not said that you refuse to recognize this Convention, so our navigation is still protected by this Convention, and your actions are a violation of this Convention.
Therefore, I warn you once again that you must dismantle this pontoon bridge or remove a channel sufficient for merchant ships to pass through before the deadline we have proposed, or we will do it ourselves, and I guess how we will do it without explanation, right? ”
After Qi Fei finished speaking, the muzzle of the 203 mm main gun beside him was pressed down, and the six giant guns in the bow of the Kaohsiung ship were aimed at the pontoon bridge on the river at the same time. (To be continued.) )
