"The Anglo-American coalition forces encircled in Iraq surrendered to our forces on January 26. The battle of Iraq ended with the victory of our army, in which our army annihilated about 1.2 million people of the main force of the British and American forces. At the imperial meeting, Yang Jichang officially reported to Ren Chao the good news of the Iraq campaign.

"Excellent! In this battle, the Western Expeditionary Army defeated the British and American armies, and raised the prestige of our Chinese country overseas, I was very pleased, and Zhao Bin, the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army, made outstanding achievements, and specially promoted Zhao Bin as the Duke of Song Guogong, and sent a decree to reward all departments participating in the war, and generously sacrificed soldiers. Ren Chao said with a smile.

"Minister's decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Yang Jichang responded respectfully.

"The Iraqi campaign ended smoothly, and the main forces of the Anglo-American coalition on the Arabian Peninsula were annihilated, and our army could drive straight into and occupy the entire Arabian Peninsula. The Chinese Expeditionary Fleet in India should also begin preparations to assist the Western Expeditionary Force in capturing the Suez Canal and opening up access to the Mediterranean. Ren Chao said with a stern face.

"At present, the expeditionary fleet of our navy has begun to make preparations for entering the Gulf of Aden again, seizing the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, and assisting the Western Expeditionary Force to capture the Arabian Peninsula and then the Suez Canal." Admiral Minister Yu Kun said respectfully.

"Good!" Ren Chao nodded with satisfaction and said, "I heard that the U.S. Pacific Fleet has left Pearl Harbor. ”

"According to the information we currently have, the main force of the US Pacific Fleet has indeed left Pearl Harbor, and it is estimated that it will rush to the coastal areas of China to attack and harass after going to Guam for replenishment, and the whereabouts of this fleet are currently unknown, and our navy is launching a force to find the whereabouts of this fleet." Yu Kun replied honestly.

"Missing?" Ren Chao couldn't help frowning, "We must do our best to find the whereabouts of this fleet, and then annihilate it, and we must not let them threaten the security of my coastal areas." ”

"Please rest assured, your majesty, the ministers will do their best to destroy this fleet." Yu Kun said respectfully.

"Initiation of the Majesty. Wei Chen thought that the US Pacific Fleet was just a swarm of flies at best, and at most it would attack and disturb China's coastal areas and hit the morale of our army, but it would not have any substantial impact on the entire war situation. At present, the strategic focus of our army should still be placed on the Middle East, as long as the Middle East region is captured, our army can march into Europe on a large scale and assist friendly forces in defeating Britain, France, Italy, and other countries. Yang Jichang got up and played.

What Yang Qing said was extremely true. But I, Huaxia, am not their American fleet that comes and goes. Yang Qing rest assured, I have already prepared, if the Americans dare to come, it will be just a self-defeating net. Ren Chao said confidently.

"Your Majesty!" Yang Jichang said respectfully, "Now that the Iraq campaign has ended, our army's next battle plan is to attack the Arabian Peninsula, Syria, Lebanon and other places, and then attack Egypt." Capture the Suez Canal and open up sea access to the Mediterranean. However, at present, the strength of the Western Expeditionary Army is limited, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to undertake such a heavy combat mission, so I implore His Majesty to continue to increase troops in the Middle East. ”

What Yang Aiqing said is very true. At present, the Western Expeditionary Army has an army of 1.6 million, and even if the 600,000 troops that are subsequently reinforced are added, it is only 2.2 million troops. After the capture of the Arabian Peninsula, our army will not only continue to attack the North African region. They also had to go north into Europe to assist the Allies in fighting against Britain, France, Italy, and other countries, so these forces were really insufficient. Therefore, I decided to send another 1.5 million troops to the west, and another 500,000 troops of the Northwest Front Army of Niu Triumphant. Aren't you ready to go? All of them were also transferred to the Arabian Peninsula. Ren Chao said with a stern face.

"Command!" Yang Jichang responded respectfully.

In February 1917, the Western Expeditionary Army launched a fierce attack on the Arabian Peninsula with a great victory. Quickly captured Kuwait, a large territory of Saudi Arabia. At the same time, the naval expeditionary fleet was replenished by the country, and then went to the waters of the Gulf of Aden again, and the Allied Combined Fleet was far from recovering its strength because of the heavy losses suffered in the naval battle of the Gulf of Aden. Moreover, after the victory of the Western Expeditionary Army in the Iraq campaign, the main force of the Anglo-American coalition on the Arabian Peninsula was basically annihilated, and the Allied land forces were no longer capable of defending the Arabian Peninsula, and the fall of the Arabian Peninsula was only a matter of time. In order to preserve its naval strength, the Combined Fleet of the Entente was forced to retreat north, and the Mediterranean Sea was completed through the Suez Canal.

As soon as the Allied Combined Fleet withdrew, the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet subsequently gained naval supremacy in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. With the assistance of the navy, the 500,000-strong army of the Northwest Front was transported by Indian ships to the Arabian Peninsula and successfully landed in Oman and Yemen, and then assisted the main force of the Western Expeditionary Army to successfully occupy the entire Arabian Peninsula. At the same time, with the assistance of the Ottoman army, the Western Expeditionary Army and the Northern Route Army successfully captured Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and other places, and advanced the front to Egypt.

When people think of Egypt, they can't help but think of Egypt's pyramids and sphinxes. Yes, as one of the four ancient civilizations, Egypt once had a splendid civilization. Ancient Egypt is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world and the earliest kingdom in the world. But today's Egyptian Arabs are not ancient Egyptians, and their culture is completely different. Moreover, Egypt today has long since lost the prosperity and prosperity of thousands of years ago, and was intermittently conquered by the Assyria, Persian, Macedonian and Roman empires from the 11th century BC to the 7th century BC. From the 4th to the 7th centuries AD, it was incorporated into the Eastern Roman Empire, and the ancient Egyptian civilization perished. In the mid-7th century, the Arabs invaded and established the Arab Empire. In 1249 it began to be ruled by the commander of the Mamluk legion. It was conquered by the Turks in 1517. Became a province of the Ottoman Empire. It was occupied by Napoleon in 1798~1801. It was occupied by British troops in 1882. In 1914 Egypt became a British protectorate.

As soon as the Iraq campaign ended, the Anglo-American coalition began to frantically increase troops in Egypt, trying to build a stronger defense line in Egypt to block the attack of the Chinese. In just one month, Britain, the United States, France, Italy and other countries transported more than one million troops to Egypt, and follow-up reinforcements are still being sent to Egypt.

At the same time, when the war in the Arabian Peninsula was basically over, the Western Expeditionary Army also began to increase its troops to Egypt in a steady stream, and the reinforcements from the Chinese Empire were also continuously rushing to the front line, and a new battle was actively brewing.
