Chapter 360: Mountain Rain is Coming
Zhang Feng picked up the phone, only to hear a voice inside: "Your Excellency Qusay, the Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom has been assassinated." β
"Okay, I'll go back immediately." Zhang Feng hurriedly put down the phone and looked at his villa, alas, he didn't expect that not long after he came back, he had to be busy again.
The assassination of the Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom, what happened to Guan Zhangfeng?
Only Zhang Feng himself knows that this matter is a big deal.
It's an excuse, a good excuse.
Israel's invasion of Lebanon was premeditated. As early as October 1973, after the Fourth Middle East War, Israel was considering disarming the Syrian army and the PLO from the north of Lebanon. After the peace talks between Israel and Egypt, there is no need to avoid the risk of fighting on two fronts, so in Israel's operational planning, annihilating the main PLO forces in Lebanon and their headquarters, weakening the Syrian army in Lebanon, and supporting a pro-Israel regime are the strategies they have already formulated.
And now, the opportunity has finally arrived.
Because Britain was in a hurry to deal with the Falklands war, it made great efforts to find out who was behind it and sold the Exocet missiles to Argentina, but it lost its vigilance against various forces in the country.
Finally, due to negligence, the ambassador of the Israeli embassy in the United Kingdom, was assassinated.
After receiving this news, Israel immediately became angry, and on the same day, it began to declare: it was the PLO guerrillas who planned this assassination, and the PLO is an international terrorist organization, and they must be allowed to disappear!
The spearhead was immediately pointed at the PLO, at Arafat.
"We have to fight, and Arafat and the PLO he leads are our biggest threat." Sharon said.
At this time, high-ranking Israeli officials had already gathered in the presidential palace.
Sharon has always been the main battle faction, and this time is naturally no exception, he has become the Minister of Defense, and he has been preparing for this invasion for a long time.
"But if we enter Lebanon like this, we will be opposed internationally, especially by the United Nations." Foreign Minister ItzhsΓ‘k said.
"UN, what is that!" Sharon said: "We just fought, how?" The United Nations will only open its mouth to say a few words, and in our wars, which time has the United Nations not spoken in the back? β
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a very good opportunity." Sharon continued: "At present, the main international attention is focused on the Falklands, no one pays attention to us at all, and the surrounding Arab countries are not united as before, and the threat of Egypt to the west is gone, we can move eastward with complete confidence, we need to eliminate the PLO, we need to foster a Christian Lebanese state, we need to drive the Syrian forces out of Lebanon!" β
Sharon's voice roared in the room: "Since we Israel are established here, then we must not stop fighting, fighting!" The land under our feet is all fought by us, and if we want to have more land and arrange more people, we have to fight! The PLO is our biggest threat, constantly harassing our settlements, and in order to protect our people, we must enter Lebanon and drive the PLO out! β
The sonorous words of this general, who has been fighting for Israel, have infected many people, and even Prime Minister Bei Jing nodded: Yes, in order to protect the safety of our people, we must eliminate the PLO!
"We have gathered fifteen brigades and 100,000 troops on the border, and this battle will definitely defeat half of Lebanon!"
"Okay, for the sake of the future of our Great Israel, let our warriors go to battle!" Prime Minister Begin finally agreed to Defense Minister Salon's proposal.
The huge war machine is in motion.
The current Messiah Bureau is far from being able to penetrate into a country like Israel, so other people do not know about the news that Israel is going to invade Lebanon, and Zhang Feng just asked the Messiah Bureau to pay close attention to whether there is any news that the Israeli ambassador has been killed.
Because, this news, was the fuse of Israel's invasion.
Zhang Feng, who came from later generations, is very sure of this, and the only question is whether his crossing has led to changes in history.
From the current point of view, the Iran-Iraq war has completely changed, but the history of other countries has not changed, Galtieri still hit the Falklands, and Israel's ambassador to Britain was still assassinated.
Zhang Feng returned to the military region headquarters, and now, the atmosphere in the entire headquarters has become tense.
His Excellency Qusay, who is already a god of war, fully believes in His Excellency Qusay, who can lead them to victory after victory in the future.
This time, His Excellency Qusay said that as soon as there is news of the assassination of the Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom, he will be notified immediately, and the result will really be!
"Your Excellency Qusay." Seeing Zhang Feng walking in with heavy steps, Yured said: "The intelligence has been confirmed, and at present, Israel has publicly declared that it will resolutely respond to this terrorist attack by the PLO. β
Zhang Feng nodded, this resolute response, what kind of response it was, he knew best in his heart.
"Order the Sidewinder special forces, leave a squad to deal with emergencies, one squad will follow me, and the other squad will immediately carry our electromagnetic interference equipment through Jordan and into Lebanon!" Zhang Feng said.
"The main task of our military district at the moment is to hold the current line of defense, and at the same time deter the Iranian navy on the sea so that they cannot supply the port of Khomeini. Here, it's up to Uncle Izzat. Zhang Feng said.
"Qusay, you're going to Lebanon?" "Absolutely not, we have already provided a lot of assistance to Yasir, your safety is of the utmost importance, it is not worth your risk," said Izzat. β
"Yes, Lord Qusay, you can't go!" Chief of Staff Fatt also said.
"I'm not going there." Zhang Feng said: "While Uncle Yasier is fighting, what we need to do is to give him greater support in the rear. The PLO needs backup. β
After all, this time it was Israel who defied the world's condemnation, and the public opinion of the whole world was against him.
As long as we resist Israel's attack on the frontal battlefield, and at the same time cooperate with the alliance of Arab countries and the condemnation of other countries, we can help Arafat to the greatest extent.
"Get me a helicopter, I need to go back to Baghdad." Zhang Feng said.
Without further ado, first of all, it must be through the support of Dad, although before Arafat came, Dad was not very welcome, but Zhang Feng knew that he had better not steal the limelight from Dad, this kind of thing that is conducive to showing that Iraq is a big country in the Middle East, you have to let Dad take the lead.
Besides, the battles in the Southern Military Region these days need to be reported to my father, which is a must.
β¦β¦β¦ Arafat was hunched on his desk, he had been busy for the past few days, but fortunately, he had been reminded in advance by the Qusai boy from Iraq that he was ready.
Israel will never give up until it completely annihilates itself, but for the sake of the legitimate rights of the Palestinians and the establishment of a Palestinian state, he knows that he must stand up and hold up the sky of the Palestinians with his own backbone.
Abu? Iyad walked in, his face a little unsightly.
"Abu, how's it going?" Arafat asked.
"Yasir, very unoptimistic, on the southern defensive line, the Israeli army has been massed in large numbers, they may attack at any time, our tanks, have been deployed to the front line, but I don't know how long we can resist after the war." Abu said.
In the past few months, because it sensed that Israel might make a big move, the Syrian army provided the T-55 tanks it had eliminated to the PLO guerrillas, and Arafat immediately deployed them to the front line.
If Zhang Feng is here, he will definitely oppose it, just your tanks, and you still want to confront the Israeli armored troops? Putting it at the forefront is simply looking for death.
This old tank is more effective in attacking the flanks and rear of Israeli tanks in street fighting.
Because, Israel's air superiority, that is unmatched.
"Is our air defense system arranged?" Arafat asked.
The air defense system he asked about was the dozens of Stinger anti-aircraft missiles that had been supported from Kuwait, which were the barrier he relied on for air defense.
Although a large number of SAM-6 anti-aircraft missiles are deployed in the Bekaa Valley, they do not cover the entire area of air defense, and there are still Israeli planes that will fly in.
"We have deployed missiles at various commanding heights to attack Israeli low-flying aircraft." Abu said.
Suddenly, another of Arafat's aides, Bassam Abu Sharif, walked in and said: "Chairman Yasir, a small detachment of His Excellency Qusayi of Iraq, has come to our aid, supposedly with special equipment. β
This kind of special equipment, Arafat knows, is the so-called electromagnetic interference device, "where are they, take me to meet them." β
"They're on their way, they've contacted us, however, they've asked to be stationed directly in the Bekaa Valley."
Bekaa Valley? Arafat frowned, although his Fatah forces are also stationed on the side of the Bekaa Valley, but in the Bekaa Valley, Syria's missile brigade is arranged, everyone knows that Iraq and Syria are not compatible, what are their reinforcements going there for?
"Can you let them come to Beirut first, and then make plans after we have discussed it?" Arafat asked, without advance notice, if they fought, it would be difficult.
"Their leader is called Marwan, and his momentum is very tough, saying that the military situation is urgent, and he must hurry to the Bekaa Valley to help the Syrian army."
Arafat stood up, and it was a bit tricky, and if he did get there, something might happen.
"Abu, you are here to command, if the Israelites really attack, we must fight for every inch of land. Bassam, come with me to the Bekaa Valley. "Arafat knew he had to go there himself.
