Chapter 341: The Middle East
Of course, it was impossible for the Britons to tell the truth about this, and as for how they explained their meaning to the Saracens, this was not something that Führer Yang needed to care about.
He had to figure out his route against the Saracens first.
The current situation in the Middle East has little in common with modern times.
Egypt is still a kingdom, King Farouk I, this king is a rare wonder, wine and wealth are all bad, tonnage weighs three hundred pounds, the devil in the color, casino high rollers, and a special hobby, once worshipped a thief in prison as a teacher to learn a skill, known as the Cairo thief, once stole the pocket watch of the fat man, Pahlavi's father to accompany the funeral.
Of course, it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that he was killed by Nasser in a few months.
Najd is still the reign of Ibn Saud, this old guy stabbed the hero of the Saracen world in the back, the old Hejaz king Hussein knife, successfully seized the Holy Land, and then plunged into the arms of the United States, and now he is firmly in the position of the guardian of the Holy Land, and after the development of Dammam's oil fields, his small life is thriving, and his wife alone has married more than three hundred, which is simply envious of Yang Fuhrer.
Jordan is also a kingdom, last year the old Hejaz king Hussein's son Abdullah I was just assassinated, he is also the first king of Jordan, when he followed the Arab Lawrence to make the Ottoman rebellion, he led the Saracen rebel army to the north, after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, he was elected by the Saracens as the king of Babylon, and his brother Faisal as the king of Syria. But then the Gauls made a comeback, and he ceded the king of Babylon to Faisal, and prepared to lead his army to fight the Gauls, but later withdrew, with the mediation of the British, and became the emir of Jordan outside the British protectorate. In the fourth and sixth years, he was proclaimed king of Transjordan. Capture of the West Bank in the First Middle East War. But he was assassinated because he was suspected of making peace with the Canaanites by Palestinian radicals.
Now he has just succeeded to the throne by his son Tanal, who is not very mentally normal, and originally abdicated immediately after the history and was succeeded by Crown Prince Hussein.
Lebanon is a republic and the president at this time is Beshara. Huli, and this country is not a Saracen country, and their protest is only due to the location, according to the previous national agreement. The country's power structure is very democratic, with the Christian Maronite president, but the prime minister must be a Sunni Muslim, and the speaker of the parliament must be a Shia Muslim, and in fact, Lebanon has been dominant in the Middle East until the influx of Palestinian refugees destroys it.
Its neighbor, Syria, is also a republic, but it is currently under the military monopoly of the army's chief of staff, Shekli, whose prime minister is also a puppet Selo.
Babylon was a kingdom, and the current king was Faisal II. He was also the last king of the kingdom of Babylon and the cousin of the king of Jordan. However, this little king is not yet twenty years old this year, and the power of the country is in the hands of Prime Minister Nuri. In the hands of Said. This guy is a standard Western lackey, suppressing GE life internally and betraying national interests abroad, in short, he is the kind of textbook typical, and later he was shot and killed by GE soldiers like a textbook typical.
As for Persia, it is still Prime Minister Mossadegh in power, and King Pahlavi is actually under house arrest, the former is a staunch nationalist, and basically truly democratically elected, but the nationalization of oil after his rule has angered the British, and the Britons are still imposing sanctions on the country until now, and the original history was overthrown by MI5 and the CIA in a coup d'état, and then the pro-American Pahlavi was brought to power.
But now, Yang is struggling with a question, whether to help Mossadegh or not?
In the treatment of Middle Eastern countries, you can't all push them to the opposite side at once, among these countries, Egypt must fall to the Soviet Union, Najd must be with the United States, as for Babylon, Syria and other countries are pushed into the arms of the Soviets as much as possible, so the Ming must also have a friend, although Canaan must support, but Canaan has no oil, and Persia has countless oil.
If you help Mossadegh at this time, it will be easy to be friends with the Persians, but the problem is that this guy has offended the Britons too badly, the sun father was almost out of the house by him, and the capitalists in London hated him so much that it was difficult to help him!
Just when Yang Feng was struggling with this issue, the Britons also quickly conveyed his meaning to the Saracen countries, of course, their expression was very in line with the diplomatic way, but the specific meaning was very clear, that is, this batch of arms Yang Feng was sold, and it was useless no matter who objected. As for the future, he will take care of the feelings of the Saracen countries, and your threat, that is, just talk about it, don't play really, if it really provokes Yang Feng, he will drive aircraft carriers and battleships to your doorstep, then don't say that we didn't remind you.
This guy can do anything, and if he does drop a super bomb on your heads one day, it'll be too late to regret it.
In short, this time the Britons were also benevolent.
The Saracen countries did not make any special reaction, but continued to protest, and the previous threats showed no sign of action, and the Egyptian government announced that it would not allow ships transporting this batch of arms to pass through the Suez Canal. Everyone knows that this is useless, although the port of Canaan is on the Mediterranean coast (Port Eilat is now only a small checkpoint), but the detour of merchant ships to South Africa is nothing more than spending a little more money, and compared to the significance of this batch of arms, the extra freight is not worth mentioning at all.
In fact, the Saracen countries are more for the sake of face, no one will really take risks for this matter, the Canaanites do not buy arms from Yang Feng, but also buy arms from others, and their armed strength has increased, and the three neighboring countries that are most affected are the most. But Lebanon is not a Saracen country, and Egypt and Jordan are left, the former has no oil, and the only weapon that can be used is the canal, but they don't count the canal, they can only pay lip service to it. The latter had no weapons at their disposal, and at most, with the family's kinship, they encouraged Babylon to ban the export of crude oil to the Ming Dynasty, but the crude oil of the Ming Dynasty was rarely imported from Babylon, and the Kirkuk oil field was mainly exported to Europe.
As for Najd, which mainly exports Daming......
They and the Hashemite family are the enemies!
In short, this matter was over, and in the protest of the Saracens, the first batch of Ming munitions was loaded as usual, although at the suggestion of the British, it was finally taken by the South African route, but after all, it was still delivered to the Canaanites.
During this time, there was a turbulent undercurrent in Egypt, and the Britons did not want to irritate them too much.
This business is considered to have allowed Yang Feng to truly gain the friendship of the Canaanites, after all, at this time they are not loved by their grandmother and uncle, and even the people of the United States are unwilling to sell arms to them, it is rare to have such a person who is willing to help them under the pressure of the Saracens, and soon there was a wave of Minga friendship among the Canaanite people, including the help of the Chinese to them, in short, the relationship between the two sides heated up sharply.
And at the same time, Yang Feng came up with a few things that amazed the world.
First of all, the Kunpeng Aircraft Helicopter Division has tested a new type of helicopter, and it is a heavy helicopter comparable to a large transport aircraft, which is said to be able to load a reinforced platoon of soldiers, and can even stuff two warrior military vehicles into it, but unlike Pixiu, this helicopter adopts a special front and rear twin-rotor layout.
Well, this is a Chinoku.
Obviously, Yang Fuhrer is going to carry out the helicopter to the end, in several successive wars, his helicopters, whether general-purpose helicopters or armed helicopters, have shown great power, and now with the addition of heavy helicopters, the Ming Army is really going to plug in its wings.
In addition to this, there is another important thing......
He loaded the missiles on the warship, and two at once, of course, on different warships.
On the second batch of Qi Jiguang-class destroyers that had just been put into service, a large ship-based anti-aircraft missile appeared, using a single-arm launcher, with one in the front and one in the front, and at this time the outside world understood why Yang Feng had made a cruiser-class destroyer like him into such a speechless layout, and he felt that he was ready to install anti-aircraft missiles on it from the very beginning.
The front one is in the No. 2 main gun position, and the original twin 130 mm main gun has been canceled, so that this 6,000-ton destroyer has only two main guns, and the back one is in front of the helicopter hangar, that is, the original position of the 114 mm secondary gun, and now this inexplicable secondary gun has also been canceled.
The structural layout of the entire battleship has become a double-linked 130-mm main gun in the front, a single-arm launcher in the back, two six-barreled 30-mm said fully automatic Vulcan guns, two twin anti-ship missile launchers in the rear, plus two identical six-barreled fully automatic Vulcan guns, and then a single-arm launcher, and finally a helicopter hangar.
As for the performance of this missile, it is said that the range is between the Brass Knight and the Beagle, but it uses a solid-fuel engine and semi-active radar guidance, and there is nothing else, but this is amazing enough, you must know that the Beagle has also just been put into production and has not yet been installed, and as for the Brass Knight, the sample has not even been built!
It is clear that Führer Yang has surpassed the people of the United States in this regard.
As for the second anti-aircraft missile, it is mounted on his frigate, and with the aura of the former, this anti-aircraft missile is not so eye-catching, because this is only a short-range anti-aircraft missile with a range similar to that of the Beagle, with a unique eight-pack launch box, there is only one such launch box on a frigate, behind the main gun, which can be automatically loaded like the first, but manually.
Well, this standard 1 and sea sparrows. (To be continued.) )
