Deep in the silent desert, night reigns over the land, with stars twinkling in the night sky and a half-broken crescent moon hanging in the sky. A cool breeze blew from the direction of the ocean, caressing the vast wilderness and the military tents on the wilderness.

This is the northern part of the Sinai Peninsula, at the foot of a mountain 50 kilometers from Arish, heavily garrisoned by the British and French forces. The mountain is the tail end of the Zhudai hills, and it is not very high, and there is a fertile valley nearby, which is too small to hoard an entire army. The nearest city is Khan Younis, which is very close to Gaza.

Sand dunes are the main landform here. Scorpions are the permanent inhabitants of the area, and humans rarely appear in this area, as there is no need for human survival, and only caravans driving camels overland to Palestine pass through this area.

But now, there are military tents here, and the people who live in the tents are certainly not ordinary people, they are all soldiers, and they are a group of soldiers from the East, although their faces are mostly Arabized.

Compared with Greater Lebanon and the Hejaz, compared with Iraq and the Ottoman Empire, the equipment and mental outlook of this group of soldiers are undoubtedly better. Moreover, not all of them lived in tents, many stayed in the armored vehicles they drove.

I am afraid that the British and French forces on the opposite side do not know that the enemy in front of them suddenly has an additional wave of Chinese, let alone that on the airfield behind this place, there are at least 500 more fighters in these days, and the Chinese main combat aircraft is more advanced than the fighters used by the Arab League.

The Sinai Peninsula remained under the control of the British after Egypt's independence, and it was not until 30 years that the British returned control of some of the land to Egypt, and Egypt completely controlled the Sinai Peninsula after the outbreak of war. They completely expelled the British and French along the Suez Canal. Of course, it didn't take long for the British and French armies to come back.

As a member of the Arab League. Although the frontal battle on the Egyptian battlefield failed, the Egyptian government did not retreat in the direction of Sudan and Abyssinia. Instead, it moved into the central part of the Sinai Peninsula and is now based in Sharm el-Sheikh. The current Egyptian government can only verbally call on all Egyptians to unite and resist the aggression of the Europeans, and on the other hand, it actively calls for the forces of justice to join the war, that is, to ask China to officially enter the war.

As a full member of the Arab League, Egypt's government-in-exile has re-established an armed force under its own control with the assistance of the Arab League - which is why Chinese Central Asian soldiers suddenly appeared in the Sinai Peninsula.

The formation of the armed forces of the Egyptian government-in-exile is their best cover.

Since this afternoon, this silent wilderness has been boiling. The Arab League's counterattack is about to begin. With the help of 100,000 Chinese soldiers, the army in front of Arish, which gathered elite troops from many countries, including Ottoman, Iraqi, Greater Lebanon and Hejaz, was finally about to show its sharp fangs.

It was three o'clock in the morning, and all the troop build-up had been completed before midnight. And after two and a half hours, all the troops will be in a state of war, distributed in an offensive front with a width of 40 kilometers. The most fierce attack was launched against the Anglo-French forces in Arish.

Thousands of cannons, even the explosion of the sky will dye the dawn sky red, and when the sun comes, 600 Chinese main combat planes on standby will take off in batches at different airfields. Towards Arish, towards the area further behind Arish, pounce out. And the more the number of Arab League planes, will also follow closely behind the ass of Chinese fighters to pick up big bargains.

The Anglo-French forces did not notice the movement on the opposite side. The Arabs may be really united, and the large movement of hundreds of thousands of troops can hide from the Europeans on the other side. The build-up of troops in the early stage of this great counterattack is also strategic deception. It's actually not complicated, it's also a daytime transfer. Returned to the station in the evening, and the next day. Repeat the action of the previous day again. At the same time, in the territory of the Kingdom of Macedonia, the Arab League troops were massed in a big way to counterattack the German battlefield, which could be regarded as strategic cover. But the overall effect doesn't seem to be ordinarily good. To this day, the British and French positions on the opposite side have not changed in the slightest. The nearest outpost on both sides can see each other's lights clearly. The British and the French did not make any moves.

In this offensive, the 'Arab League' joint armed forces, which were put into the first round of assault operations, were integrated armored divisions with up to four combat sequences, which were thousands of tanks and armored vehicles, and there were mechanized infantry units of considerable scale to coordinate the attack. Once the Anglo-French line at Arish had been breached, the following number of more troops would be quickly brought into battle. This will be preceded by a series of special operations to ensure the smooth assault of the attacking forces - such as cluster bombing, such as paratroopers. In short, it was to disrupt the logistics route of the British and French troops, because of the geography of the Sinai Peninsula, the transport line connecting Arish and Mount Ferrama was very simple, and it was easy to cut it off.

The purpose of this counterattack was to completely drive the British and French troops out of the Sinai Peninsula, jam the Suez Canal, and give the Europeans a little color when the Central Asian conference was about to begin, so that this group of former world hegemons could be obediently honest.

The campaign plan was drawn up in a very thorough and detailed manner, just waiting for the time for the attack. In this campaign, the counterattack operation codenamed "Storm" may not be the largest number of troops, with the first two east-west wars, the scale of hundreds of thousands of people is not unusual, but the technical content is definitely superior.

The performance of the fighter in 1940 was not comparable to that of more than 20 years ago, let alone the airship at the end of the 19th century, which was completely relegated to the second line in the last war, and by the end of the 30s, the air forces of all countries in the world had completely eliminated this slow thing like a turtle crawling. Even a helium airship with a high level of safety.

Although the vigilance of the French and British armies was also very good, they could not send reconnaissance planes to the north to reconnoitre, and once the British and French planes 'crossed the line', they would have to be shot down by Arab League fighters. It's a pity that this kind of China's main fighter, which is one grade higher than the performance of European fighters, does not have many in the hands of the Arab League. After a series of 'exchanges', the two sides have counted each other, and the sky on both sides has maintained a relatively 'quiet' balance of power.

It is difficult to say that the commanders of the British and French armies will be fooled by the series of moves of the Arab League army, but whether they relax their vigilance or not, the Arab League joint armed forces must launch this 'storm' campaign to help their own boss exaggerate the unshakable world hegemony of the Chinese Empire.

By the early hours of this morning, the preparatory work for the Battle of Tempest had been completed, as if an arrow had been wound, just waiting for the man who drew the bow to release the fastened bowstring.

The man who drew the bow was a very traditional Oriental, with black hair and black eyes, and there was no hint of foreign color. But he believes in the Green Religion, and he is Bai Chongxi, the current deputy chief of general staff of the Arab League's joint armed forces. He is also a lieutenant general of the Chinese National Defense Forces.

Bai Chongxi, who is not yet 50 years old, belongs to the royalist faction in the Chinese National Defense Forces, and he was born in Guangxi as early as when he was in the military academy and branded with the traces of the royalist party.

Chinese people are indeed accustomed to an emperor sitting on their heads, coupled with the great achievements of the two generations of emperors of the Liu family, especially the old emperor who died of illness just eleven years ago, has earned too much capital for the Liu royal family and has been trusted by the whole society.

With the death of the old emperor and the complete decentralization of power by the imperial family, the royalist and the constitutionalism were irreparably opposites.

Loyalist refers to forces that are firmly loyal to the royal family. Even the radical wing of the group advocated a return to politics for the royal family.

Such an idea has strong support among the Chinese people, and the royalist party has never represented a derogatory and backward party in China.

After Bai Chongxi was promoted to major general, he showed his head in the national defense army and became a rising star of the royalist faction in the army. As long as there are no major loopholes in the Arab League war, he must be promoted to the rank of general when he returns to China.

In the Chinese military circles, where the old commanders are withering, the generals are already the leading figures standing on the front line. The general, who is not yet 50 years old, can be used as the mainstay of a faction. Isn't the strength of the royalist party in the army to a large extent due to the fact that a large part of the top echelons of the Chinese military circles today have been promoted by the old emperor.

For example, Zhu Daizhen, such as Jiang Baili, such as Guo Songling, such as Cai Genyin, such as Li Nan, such as Cheng Biguang, such as Liu Mingzhao......

Cover the three armies of the navy, land and air! At present, a large number of generals with heavy troops are all promoted by the old emperor, or vigorously launched by the old faction, the predecessor of the royalist party, among which Liu Mingzhao is only one year older than Bai Chongxi. Three years ago, he was already a general.

The 45-year-old general of the Chinese National Defense Forces, when Liu Mingzhao's promotion ceremony ended, the whole world was shocked by it. And look at his resume, a native of Kaixian County, Sichuan, his family was tied to the chariot of the Qin Army, the predecessor of the National Defense Army of the Liu Dynasty, very early, in the years when the old emperor was 'sick and hidden', he was a close attendant of the old emperor, became the confidential secretary of the old emperor during the war, and was sent to the army in the last year of the war, and performed well.

Such a person, you let him go against the royal family, how is that possible??

Bai Chongxi glanced at his watch again, it was already 5:15 a.m. local time, and in another quarter of an hour, the battle was about to start. And in half an hour at most, it will be dawn. At that time, the warhawk will take off, and in an hour at most, the command will have a spectrum of whether the battle is successful or not.

At the airport, Hideo (Fukuda) walked to the runway, and when the cool breeze blew, he took out a pack of cigarettes from the pocket of his military uniform, took out one and stuffed it into his mouth, and then took out a windproof lighter, lit the cigarette, and took two puffs vigorously.

As a retired Air Force Major from the Wehrmacht, a combat hero, and Hideo (Fukuda), who had obtained Chinese nationality 20 years ago, came to the Arab League as a flight instructor is a very lucrative job. It's just that as a former ace pilot, when the war comes, he can't put on that familiar military uniform, board the plane, take off, and fight, which is the greatest sorrow in life!
