It's understandable that the Americans pretended not to see it, after all, they are now confident and ready to launch an offensive on a global scale, with Vietnam burning a fire and the Middle East one less fire, to see how the Soviet Union responds. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIf victory can be achieved in these two places, then the strategic superiority of the Soviet Union, or the old bottom of the Soviet Union, will be exposed.
So why didn't the USSR care too much either? Li Xiaofeng knew that the Soviet Union was not capable of eating the fat of the Middle East for the time being, so the core idea of the Soviet Union's Middle East policy was to make trouble, and to support a group of troublemakers to stir up the Middle East and turn it upside down, so that Britain and the United States would not be able to obtain oil benefits from the Middle East.
In other words, the Soviet Union's Middle East policy was to make trouble, and the most important pawn in it was Israel. But Israel has always been not particularly obedient, and it always has to follow the baton of the Soviet Union when it comes to the critical moment, which makes Li Xiaofeng very annoyed.
For example, after the last armed conflict with Arab countries, when the Suez Canal was divided into profits, Israel dared to rush in and demand a piece of the pie, and asked for a 10% stake. Nima, how much equity did the British have left in the end? Without the military aid and diplomatic support of the Soviet Union, Nima would have had the last laugh in Israel. Although Israel finally gave up this unrealistic idea, Li Xiaofeng said that he was not satisfied with what he said.
And through KGB's intelligence network, he basically figured out what the Israelis thought, and Nasser was defeated too simply last time, exposing the essence of Egypt's foreign power and middle cadres to a thorough extent. The Jews saw through the details of the Arabs and felt that it was not particularly difficult to gain a foothold here in their own strength. So this round of victory allowed the Jews to begin a new round of expansion, with the suspicion of getting rid of the command of the Soviet Union.
Although this performance is not particularly obvious, Li Xiaofeng also knows that he cannot let it go, the Jews are unreliable in history, and if you want to use them well, you must put a dog on a leash. The current situation is that the dog is a little too strong and starts not listening to the owner, and this is when the dog must be taught a lesson.
Therefore, when the Soviet Union learned the news that Nasser was going to make trouble, it deliberately did not inform Israel, and watched Israel deal with it on its own, taking the hand of Egypt to weaken Israel and teach them a profound lesson.
So is the Israeli side sentient? I have to say that the Jews are indeed a little cocked, immersed in the last victory and complacent, quite a bit of peace of mind. At the same time, Nasser was vigorously procuring a large number of advanced weapons and working hard to train and reorganize the army.
That is to say, at this time, psychologically speaking, the state of Israel and the Egyptians is completely different, and the last time Egypt looked down on Israel, and then it was proud and careless, and naturally suffered a big loss. And this time the Egyptians learned the lesson of the last time and were in a completely different mental state. Israel, on the other hand, is insensitive, and does not take it seriously at all.
When Egypt suddenly crossed the Suez Canal and plunged into the Sinai Peninsula to attack the Israeli garrison, the Jews were almost unresponsive. Hundreds of thousands of Israeli troops crossed the Suez Canal overnight, taking the Jews by surprise. Within two days, the Egyptian army had advanced nearly 100 kilometres, heading straight for the heart of Palestine. Only then did the Jews realize that the situation was urgent!
Of course, the Jews were not particularly anxious, because counting the 100 kilometers of the Egyptian army's advance this time, it was only then that the actual military demarcation line at the time of the last conflict between the two sides was restored. The Jews felt that they were only a hundred kilometers short of depth, and that the situation was not so grim that it could not be taken out of control.
Therefore, the Jews did not ask the Soviet Union for help, but confidently began a national mobilization, recalled the veterans who had just been suspended for less than two years back to the army, and then went to the front line with the whole armament, which had the intention of eating the Egyptian army head-on.
I have to say that the Jews did underestimate Nasser and his army, when the two armies collided head-on in the Sinai Peninsula again, the Egyptian army was much more difficult than the last time, and the result of the collision of the two torrents of steel was half a catty against eight taels, although the good momentum of the Egyptians was stopped, but the Jews did not realize their war intentions.
What is Israel's intention? Naturally, the Egyptian army on the opposite side was divided and surrounded and then eaten in one bite. But Israel's elite 7th Armored Brigade did not open the situation as hoped, and instead reached a stalemate. The whole front is intertwined, and no one can help anyone.
Strategically speaking, Israel is not too bad, after all, it has successfully prevented Egypt's surprise attack and ensured that the security of its core territory is not threatened. However, it should always be noted that Israel's national strength is limited, and as a small country, it is difficult for it to hold on to its opponents, and after entering a protracted war, Israel will not be able to withstand it. It is important to note that Egypt is not the only enemy of Israel, but every neighbor in the vicinity likes him. So as soon as Israel and Egypt reached a stalemate, Jordan and Syria immediately followed suit and began to exert strong pressure on Israel on the Golan Heights.
Objectively speaking, the military strength of Jordan and Syria is limited, at least not as good as Egypt, but after all, Israel has few small people, and it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists.
Especially at this critical moment, the Americans did not forget to help, on the one hand, they supported Egypt in international public opinion, and on the other hand, they also vigorously gave Egypt military and material assistance; ships of munitions were unloaded from the docks in Alexandria, and groups of American military advisers and technical sergeants flew directly to the front line to help Egypt command the operation and repair damaged military equipment. When Egypt's decision-making and logistical shortcomings were made up for by the Americans, and the US Air Force's reconnaissance planes continued to send intelligence to Egypt, the IDF could no longer take advantage of it.
The entire Sinai battlefield became more and more stalemate, more and more like a swamp, devouring the living forces of the Israel Defense Forces little by little, and after half a month of fierce fighting, Israel lost its sharpness and was unable to attack, so it could only choose to reorganize the defense line and hold on.
At this time, the situation in Israel has not yet reached the worst situation, and although it is somewhat difficult, it is not a problem to secure the defensive line. According to their thinking, the Arabs will not last long, as long as they grit their teeth again, the incompetent Arab coalition will collapse first, and then they will be able to happily take their heads.
There is no major problem with Israel's judgment, the will to fight of the Arab coalition is indeed not very good, and it is okay to fight a good war, but it lacks tenacity to fight a protracted war. It's been a bit shaky for a long time. At this time, the Americans once again appeared in person, and the fighters of the US Air Force painted the emblems of Egypt or Jordan and went directly into battle, gradually regaining control with aerial strangulation, and attacking Israel with a large number of bombers and attack planes. The US Navy's Sixth Fleet began to blockade Israel's coastline under the pretext of maintaining peace, and from time to time went to Israel's airspace to "patrol" it.
Under the joint suppression of the US imperialist navy and air force, Israel soon lost its air supremacy, and the supply lines were heavily bombed, making it difficult to transport supplies to the front line, even the wounded. As a result, Israel naturally suffered even more.
At this time, the Jews finally couldn't sit still, and then they remembered to ask the Soviet Union for assistance, and some comrades may want to ask if the Soviet Union was going to take Joe Israel at this time and impose a series of harsh conditions on the Jews. Actually, there is no such thing, because this is very stupid, and if you do it once, are the Jews fools, and if you have the opportunity in the future, I am afraid that these Jews will sin against you. And the relationship between countries can't be so red-fruited, this is too ugly.
Li Xiaofeng readily agreed to aid to Israel, and first of all, he violently criticized the United States on international occasions for wantonly messing up the situation in the Middle East and being behind the threat to peace, and demanded that the United States immediately pull back from the precipice. Secondly, the Soviet Union sent the Black Sea Fleet to deliver a consignment of munitions to Israel.
Some comrades said that I am afraid they will say, Comrade Li Xiaofeng, aren't you crazy? Didn't you want to bang Israel before? Why did they change their minds when they were soft?
Don't worry, because this is all a routine, and Li Xiaofeng will not change his original intention at all. For example, the first help strategy is actually a mouth cannon, which is simply a drizzle for Americans, and it is useless, and maybe it has the opposite effect. If you think about it, the Yankees are going to turn to a strategic offensive, hoping to test the bottom line of the Soviet Union with the help of Egypt and Vietnam. The Soviet Union's mouth cannon can only show that the current pressure is not enough, and the bottom line of the Soviet Union can still be explored. In view of this, the United States has not stepped up its pressure?
As for the second aid, in fact, this is also the case, please do not forget that the US fleet has blocked the Israeli coastline, and most of the Soviet Union sent merchant ships and transport ships, and it is impossible to break through the blockade of the US Navy. In fact, after being intercepted by the American fleet, the Soviet fleet stopped in place, neither continuing nor retreating, that is, it was deadlocked there.
It is equivalent to saying that none of the aid promised by the Soviet Union has been fulfilled, and Israel is still only fighting alone, and after a few days of stalemate, Ben-Gurion really couldn't stand it anymore, and had to fly to Moscow in person to ask the Soviet Union to implement the aid as soon as possible, otherwise they really couldn't hold on. Li Xiaofeng agreed to Ben-Gurion's request, but he also explained one point: "The pressure on the Americans is very great, and the Soviet government will not have a head-on conflict with the United States for the time being, so we can only mediate and ......provide you with assistance as much as possible."
After Ben-Gurion left, this time Li Xiaofeng cashed in some aid and airlifted supplies to Israel by transport plane. It's just that we all know that the strength of air transportation is limited, and the materials that come by air are really not enough for Israel to consume. Anyway, Israel is still struggling to make ends meet.
The Americans, on the other hand, are also very proud, and they have basically come to the conclusion that the Soviet Union has become afraid and will not interfere deeply in Palestinian affairs. In view of this, Israel should be completely destroyed!
Of course, the Americans did not take any chances. For example, they soon let out their words: "In order to thoroughly maintain peace over the Palestinian areas, the United States and NATO are considering establishing a no-fly zone over the Palestinian areas!" ”
We all know what kind of routine the no-fly zone is, in fact, it is a tight spell to restrict Israel, which is to prepare to completely lock Israel up and make the Soviet Union look good. Regarding the United States' proposal to establish a no-fly zone, the Soviet Union also used its mouth cannon: "The Soviet government resolutely opposes the establishment of a no-fly zone, which is a hegemonic interference in the internal affairs of other countries, and without the authorization of the United Nations, no country has the right to establish a no-fly zone over a third country!" ”
It should be said that this mouth cannon is very ineffective, and naturally it has no restrictive effect on the United States, but it makes the Americans more urgent to start establishing a no-fly zone.
At this point, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is actually a war between the United States and the Soviet Union, and now the result seems to be that the Soviet Union is at a disadvantage in all aspects, which seems to illustrate the offensive and defensive dislocation between the Soviet Union and the United States. It seems that American nuclear weapons have shocked the USSR, and the Soviets are afraid!
This conclusion convinced many surrounding Arab countries, and soon Iraq, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia all joined in, and hundreds of thousands of coalition troops rushed to Israel in one fell swoop, ready to bulldoze the Jews in one fell swoop, and once again completely drive the Jews out of this land like the Romans did 2,000 years ago.
The situation at this time can be said to be precarious, the Jews are once again in danger of extinction, and at this time they see no hope - even the Soviet Union has nothing to do with the United States, who can save them?
Ben-Gurion had to urgently go to the United States in the hope of convincing the American government to change its mind, but this must be in vain, because the Americans have already made up their minds to make an example of the monkey and use the blood of Israel to tell the world who is the boss.
The Americans were very proud and thought that the big picture was decided. But they never thought that all this was actually deliberately let go by the Soviet Union and let it happen, Li Xiaofeng believes that the best slap in the face effect is a reversal, and the more huge the reversal effect, the better. Anyway, there are bitter Jews who act as meatloaf and bitter masters, and the Soviet Union has nothing to lose, so why not do it?
The pressure on the IDF from the United States and the Arab coalition is increasing day by day, and as time goes on, the Americans simply tear off the only fig leaf, the Navy and Air Force themselves began to attack Israel, and the Iowa-class battleships sailed to the Israeli coast under the cover of naval aviation to shell Israeli cities. And the U.S. Air Force simply used the no-fly zone to bomb Israel upside down.
Under tremendous pressure, the Jews finally could not stand it, and one by one the defenses began to loosen, and a total collapse seemed inevitable...... (To be continued.) )
