In 71 years, the flames of the Fourth World War began to burn slowly in the Middle East. The original great power contradictions of the last world war have not been resolved. And as the great powers step in towards new regions

Contradictions are brewing more intensely in the region.

And some countries in the world are inherently disruptive in geopolitics.

Because first of all, these countries have forces that cannot be ignored. This force is inserted into any zone, and their power is not to be ignored in the region. Secondly, the strategy of these countries is not to establish a permanent framework to solve the problems of the parties in the region. Rather, it is through frequent intervention to maintain its own control over the area of change.

The British Empire is the spoiler of Europe, of course, in this timeline, Hitler was victorious, Churchill was hanged, and the British were smoothly connected with Europe with the establishment of dozens of bridges across the sea, and Britain's-stirring stick was discounted.

And Russia, which straddles Eurasia, is of the same nature for the entire Eurasian continent. They belong to the medium civilization between the Eastern and Western civilizations, because the rich land of the East and the West is occupied by the Eastern and Western civilizations, and unconsciously formed a blockade of this medium civilization, Russia occupies the colder zone in the northern part of the Eurasian continent, so it has been breaking through this blockade all along. Chase warm water harbors and warm land.

As Russia's attention turned to the East, all the countries of the East had to consider the increased variability of their power in the balance of the region. And they turn to the West, and their power is in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, which is a destabilizing factor for the West. Due to geography, the Russians have not been treated well by any party since ancient times. No one wants this bear to be on his doorstep. And the best way to deal with the Russians. Not a war, because the nation is resilient. Even splitting is not a good tactic, because the national consciousness is very strong, and splitting will provoke a backlash. The best way is to put enough power in front of your own house, and then set the rules of peace and mutual benefit between you. Let the furry bear's exuberant attention be diverted to the other side of Eurasia.

Before World War III, the Sage Prime Minister implemented a strategy of control over Russia, and when the Five Star Zone gradually dominated the policy of the East, its strategy changed to a strategy of releasing water.

Luan: "The floods in Europe are raging. It's my business. "As for whether the release of water will make Russia strong out of control, and finally bite back. Lu An and Xie Xiao reasoned that the probability that Russian power would be able to clean up Europe in just a few years was almost zero.

And even if the woolly bear is as powerful as Germany, even if the combat effectiveness of the Europeans has become the level of World War II, and the high-level IQ has become the level of Showa red deer. Winning a war does not mean the end of problems, but the beginning of more problems. The first is the internal management of the nations, which was called the Central Asian national cage before the collapse of Tsarist Russia before World War I, and the rule of the newly conquered peoples was costly in the post-industrial era. In this is an external problem, and the Atlantic Ocean is much narrower than the Pacific Ocean. Europe also has a much longer coastline than East Asia. The newly incorporated territories face more external confrontation.

And in this era, the East won fifty years of development time, and basically won in the next war.

A series of contradictions and conflicts in the Middle East were born out of Russia's intervention in the region. Wars were waged on land and sea.

On the Saudi Peninsula, a mechanized camel in the form of a pack horse with a wide paw and a humped machine gun turret travels through the desert. In the global technology chain, the price of various related parts has plummeted, and the price of the Russian military factory to produce this mechanical pack horse is 20,000 Chinese yuan. The price is about the same as a car with a small displacement.

From a mechanical point of view, a mechanical pack horse is slightly more complex than a motorcycle. A few decades ago, the price of such a mechanical pack horse reached 200,000 yuan. And the reason why it's so expensive is because a lot of the parts are custom-made.

A gear part, when there is no production line for mass production, the price may be hundreds of dollars a piece. After opening an automated production line, the price may only be a few dollars.

The five-star area is in the plateau, and the civilian market for mechanical stand-ins in desert areas is very large. The Russians can easily get the production line and even order a lot of cheap parts. The Russians maintained 30,000 troops here, but put in as many as 600,000 pack horse machines here.

And in the Persian Gulf, black fleets are anchored in the harbor.

The flagship of this fleet is an aircraft carrier with a displacement of 80,000 tons. Airplanes cruising in the skies. control of the sky domain, and then control of the entire Saudi Peninsula over electromagnetic supremacy.

To the west of the Saudi Peninsula, the Red Sea also has a fleet affiliated with the West. Both the Red Sea Strait and the Persian Gulf are closed waters, and neither side of the sea forces can break through.

And the entire Saudi region is like a chessboard, and the fleets of both sides belong to both sides as kings. Across this large chessboard, the mechanical corps is used as a pawn to fight.

And on the flagship of the aircraft carrier, Shang Heng with an eyepiece looks at the war situation in the Middle East. Since the Middle East incident caused by the reincarnation in 67, the seven gods suddenly disappeared, and both Europe and Russia have left a huge confrontation in the Middle East.

As the war began, Anna loosened the chains of Shang Heng a little and dispatched him to the area. Of course, it is relative to relax the control, and in this fleet, there are at least three fifth-level silver ability people, who are monitoring the actions of Shang Heng.

In the Middle East as seen on the map in the eyepiece, Shang Heng stared at the legion deployment symbols of the double-headed eagle symbol. One by one, the human habitation belt signs.

and the entire Middle East region where there are now only three major resource distributions.

The first major resource, oil. Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, oil are all in the Persian Gulf. And this area is all in the Double-headed Eagle's sphere of influence.

The second largest resource, population. Intensive labor is valued by the world in this new economic era. The European side is now also exploiting the labor force of Yugoslavia with impunity.

The third largest resource is water. That is, the area of the two river basins.

The map shows the big picture. Shang Heng thought to himself: "If I were European, I might allow the Russians to stop here, but I would never allow the Russians to continue to lay out here." ”

Saying this, Shang Heng raised his hand, and his fingers started from the Black Sea region, passed through the Iranian plateau, and then passed through the Yemen region in the south of the Saudi Peninsula. A blue arc is drawn.

Then he raised his hand again and drew a red arc from the Iranian plateau, to Syria, and then to the Palestinian region.

The blue line is the line that the Russians have now formed, while the red line is the line that has not yet been formed, and which Europe will never allow to form. The blue lines simply surround the Mediterranean Sea from the periphery. And Europe can counter-encircle this blue line as long as it maintains its military strength in the Indian Ocean.

But the red line basically inserts the front into the Mediterranean, the intimate area of Europe, and once the Russians insert themselves into the Mediterranean, it is equivalent to the strategic persecution of the European side in Eastern Europe in vain.

Unlike land, sea power can span thousands of kilometers overnight. Mao Zi's armor torrent is against the sky, and if it pushes the whole of Poland in a week, it will have to rest. However, once the hairy enters the Mediterranean. The fleet sailed from the Southern Mediterranean to France, for a maximum of two days. Missiles dropped by carrier-based aircraft taking off from aircraft carriers can arrive in a matter of hours.

After seeing clearly what people in Europe are worried about.

Shang Heng set his sights on Turkey, a country that had kept its hair in the Black Sea for centuries. Syria (this timeline the Germans did not allow the Jews to see.) It is clear that the whole of Europe is very strategically committed here. Once the Russians poked these two places. Then it means that a new world war between the Russians and Europe began.

##

Concern appeared in Shang Heng's eyes, and now the balance between the two sides is very fragile. It's different from the half-dead appearance of the other thread. At this time, both sides have enough strength to touch the other side's strategic bottom line. The bottom line of the two sides is very close and there is no buffer. And the two sides have a series of military allies in various regions.

Especially at the junction of Europe and Asia, Persia, Turkey, Egypt and other small countries have formed two military camps between several major powers, and now the Middle East is comparable to the Balkans in the past.

Now as long as either side, the military commander below can trigger a chain reaction.

Shang Heng dialed the communication on the command ship,

As the communication was connected, the scene in the eyepiece immediately changed to the situation of the command ship, and in the blue and white hall of the command ship, here officers were holding laser pointers in the virtual scene and planning military deployments on the map.

The entire officer corps of the Russian fleet was internally Slavic. Looking at these hairy staff officers who obviously drank one by one and caused their noses to be red, and their eyes were extremely deep, Shang Heng fully believed that one day a plan full of vodka style would be made here.

In the command headquarters, General Beria saw that Shang Heng was online, and he was very happy to give Shang Heng a hug, and the holographic projector warehouses of both sides perfectly replicated this perception with magnetic fluid.

After the hug (the electronic phantoms hugged each other, and the whole system simulated the feeling of hugging), the two sides began to talk about weapons.

A projection of a weapon appeared in front of him, a new weapon designed by Shang Heng for the Russian Middle East Corps. This is a weapon that imitates a desert lizard and has a total weight of six hundred kilograms. It's a mechanical weapon that can bury itself in the sand in less than two minutes.

In the projection, this weapon perfectly ambushed multiple squads on the European side in a number of test battles. Then before the enemy arrived, he managed to hide in the dunes.

General Beria admired the usefulness of this weapon, and with only a small number of troops, he was able to contain the enemy's infiltration attack in the desert area.

Beria: "My friend, do you have any new ideas for this visit?" ”

Shang Heng: "General, before that, I want to ask. What color is our nuclear raid plan? ”

(The military has a variety of programs, but not all of them need to be implemented, some are implemented by proactively creating opportunities, while others are implemented only if specific conditions occur.) This is replaced by a variety of colors. ）

Beria looked at Shang Heng, smiled and said, "It's green." (Green represents a plan that is strongly avoided, and even if the conditions are met, it must be carefully considered by the rear.) ）

Shang Heng took Beria deeply, because according to Shang Zhen's knowledge, the unmanned aerial system is now carrying a nuclear-weapon combat readiness cruise. It's not a green scheme at all, at least orange and maybe even red.

Facing Beria with a fox smile, Shang Heng nodded to Beria with an understanding look and said, "Okay, that vehicle system, I think according to the existing technology, can help the military system to enhance nuclear protection." ”

Beria smiled haha, hiding her embarrassment, shook Shang Heng's hand, and said in a somewhat apologetic tone: "Friend, you know, your identity." Well, I don't think it's necessary to keep it a secret from you. However, this is the one above. ”

Shang Heng nodded and said, "I understand, but I really hope you can turn that plan green." ”
